A Brutal Affair.

There can be no excuse for the Dfu-
tai tragedy enacted at Lake City, 5. c.,
in which the negro postmaster at that
place suffered death under the most re
voting circumstances; and if the story
contained in The Constitutions speciai
news dispatch published yesterday IS
correct in its version Of The horrible
affair. il fastens upon the STATE OF South
Carolina one OF the most outrageous
crimes ever committed within its Dor
ders.
Whatever may have been the fault OF
the administration in closing its eyes to
the question OF race prejudice IN TINS
section. and in granting 10 the negro ms
commission over the deliberate protest
Of the white citizens of Lake City. it still
remains that the action of the mob III
committing such foul slaughter upon the
household Of the negro postmaster ana
in setting fire to his property, is ma
Ignant in the most savage use OF that
term. Every person connected with the
horrible transaction should be arraigned
before the bar Of justice and punished
to the full extent of his partic]pa on in
the crime.
As much as The Constitution depIores
ent administration manifests its inSensl-
bility to the existence Of race prejudice
in this section by repeatedly appointing
negro applicants to postmasterships over
the protest of white communities. it de-
plores even more the criminal and law
less spirit ovincod by such affairs as the
recent brutal tragedy at Lake City. :. c.,
and sincerely trusts chat no delay viii
be encountered in bringing the guilty
parties to justice.
But let the administration meet the
South on middle ground; and while our
courts e1deavor rigidly 20 mete ont jus
tice to the guilty parties connected with
this transaction, let the administration
bear in mind that conditions as they eX-
isl in the south in this section cannot
be prudcntly ignored in the distribution
Of IT'S patronage.

More United Than Ever.

The ST. Louis Globe Democrat observes
that if present complications result in
hostilities with Spain, it will be the first
time in the history of this country that
Americans have ever been unitcdly III
favor Of war.
In support Of this statement. The 81.
Louis paper declares that even the colo
MES in l776 were not united in OppOSl-
ton 10 the British crown, and that some
Of them We're in favor of remaining loyal
to the mother country. John adams, IN
one Of his numerous letters, is quoted as
saying on this point that New YORK and
Pennsylvania were both opposed to sep
arating from Great Britain. and that
nothing prevented them from doing so
but the restraining influence of Virginia
on the one side and New England on the
other. 1t is claimed that large major
ity Of the merchants and financierS
throughout the country were ardenty
opposed to revolutionary measures, and

Atlanta in War and Peace.

The unique position OF Atlanta con-
tinueS to be demonstrated on all Occa-
siOns. Whether We consider that p0-
sitiOn geographically or commercially
the result is the same. The name OF
Gate City" as applied to the commerce
and traffic of the south was not bestowed
idly. II is aptly descriptive of the fact
that the great bulk of the traffic Of The
south must pass through the CONNER
cial gate Of Atlanta,
During the war it was the key to the
ccnfederacy, and to all intents and pur
poses the conflict was decided against
the south when Hood evacuated Atlanta.
General Joe Johnston declared that he
intended to make his final stand at At
lanta. and il is we'll known that his
nl3ns were all maturod to that end when
the political generals and the neWspa
pcrs brought about his removal from
the command.
General Sherman. after the war was
over, continued to recognize the posi-
ton of Atlanta as unique from a mill
tary point of view in case Of foreign
war. We reproduced yesterday the state
ments made by General Sherman in 1880
showing the characteristic illustration
he gave of Atlanta'S conspicuous posi-
ton as a distributing point for troops
and supplies. The facilities of Atlanta
in that respect have largely increased
since General Sherman made his state
ment. The city is now in direct touch
with all the prominent points on I've
South Atlantic and gulf coasts
This is how it happens that at the
very first suspicion or symptom of for
eign complications, the commander of
the department Of the east comes
straight to Atlanta. The city is the gate
to southern trade from the commercial
point of view. and as General Sherman
says, "a natural base of supplies"
Well, Atlanta tries to bear her h0nors
modestly-those that nature has thrust
upon her as we'll as those which have
been earned 70: her by the energy and
the unity Of her citizenship. Nature
has made her conspicuous in peace and
war. and the thrift and enterprise of hnr
people have added to that The results of
commercial success.
