Is Lynching Justiflable?

Richmond Times.
We print elsewhere communica-
tion from u highly valued friend in
which he undertakes to justify lynch
ing for a certain crime. Our corre-
spondent is q prominent citizen of Rich
goment, because he is a law-sbiding
citizen.
His contention is that lynching in
this particular case Is justifiable, be-
cause it saves the victim from the ter
rible ordeal of testlfying in court; and
again "because the white men in Vir-
GINA and in the south believe that no
other influence except the fear of GER
tain death would check this crime on
the part of the negro
No one can have more tender re-
gard than the Times for the feelings of
a refined woman, who has thus been
brutality treated, but we put the ma
iesiy of the law ABOVE everything, and
we hold that for the good of society,
for the protection of women as well as
for the protection of men. it
must be maintained at all hazard. Pro-
vision has been made by which a wom-
an In such trial il not compelled to
testify before q gaping crowd, but may
give her evidence before the officers OF
the court and those Immediately con-
cerned.
We take issue with our correspond
emit also in his contention that this
crime Is best checked by lynchiug. On
the contrary we are confident that mob
violence excites men to other acts OF
lawlessness and that the lynchiug of a
negro for this crime simply stire
up the devil that is in those who are
similarly disposed. The criminal
cannot be more afraid of the mob
L.
knows that the penalty is sure. Moth
ing can so effectuslly check crime ss q
dignified maintenance of the law, else
our whole system of law is a mockery
and should give way to the rule of the
mob.

vides, Article |, Section 10, Virgins
Bill of Rights: THAT, in all capital
or criminal prosecutions, a man hath a
right TO demand the cause and nature
OF his accusation, to be confroute

consent he cannot be found guilty. nor

against himself, that no man be de.
prived of his liberty, except by the Law
of the land or the Judgment of his

We hold that the law of the land il
supreme, that IL must be everything Oh
nothing. There is no exception to tha
clause of the constitution which we
have quoted, aud IL men may for their
own option make an exception in one
crime, they may do so In other crimes

The Bohemian Twins.

The most wonderful and human cur
iosity now living is undoubtedly the
remarkable twin formation Rosa-Jose-
phs, residing in the village of Skrey-
CHOW, Bohemia. Apparently they are
two beautiful girls, of fair compile xion,
standing back to back; still so COM
pletely do their bodies merge that
they practically constitute one individ-
ual, thereby making it O matter of no
small difficulty to refer to them as one
or two persons. One alone can eat and
at the same time afford nourishment to
the other. A singular fact in connec-
ton with this dual entity is that the
two heads never sleep simultaneously;
while one sleeps, the other rem Al rs
wide awake, as though keeping watch.
After a lapse of two or three hours the
watching head drops into a calm re-
pose, and at that very moment the
other awakes in turn to assume it's
vigil. They are now 20 years of age,
and up to the present time have en-
ioyed robust health. They are highly
accomplished, being clever linguists,
as we'll as vocalists and musicians, one
being q proficient violinist, and the
other a sSillful performer on the mao =
dolin and guitar. a few months ago
they acted as bridesmaids at the wed
ding of one of their sisters, bearing
themselves with singular grace, form
ing very interesting feature of the
ceremony.

TONIGHT the registration books will
close, and all who fail to register will
be actually DISTINGUISHED. SO far as the
election of November 5 is concerned.
The registration has been the highest
on record, and there is every indica-
ton that the vote TO be cast in the
coming election will be d very full one.
There is one point in connection with
the registration that has perhaps been
overlooked, aud that is the great COM
mercial importance OF a full registra-
ton. The registration as already re-
corded in Ell Psso will easily place US
in the same class with the other large
cities OF the state.

The question OF the state school
fund is one that is of the greatest in
terest just now, for it is highly prob
able that the Legislature to be elected
this fall will be called upon to take
some action toward relieving ttis fund
from the foolish restrictions that
have been placed around it, aud to
provide for the investment OF the
million dollar fund at once at fair
rate of interest. Under the
state constitution the permanent
school fund can only be invested In
United States, or Texas state and
county, bonds. BY law 1t Is provided
that no more than par can be paid for
the bonds and that the rate Of interest
must not exceed five per cent. AS it
has In practice been found that bonds
bearing that high rate of in
terest could not be bought
NJ par, the fund, amounting to
more than one million dollars, has
been allowed to lie idle in the treas
ury, thus depriving the schools OF the
state of some forty thousand dollars
that would come to them In the way of
interest. As il is now unconstitutional
to purchase bonds of any other state
than Texas for Investment purposes,
IL would be advisable to amend the
contribution so that Investments could
be made In bonds of other states. This
IL made desirable by the fact that
there IS comparatively little of
the Texas debt available. The
sch ools of the state have held in trust
for them lands valued At more than
twenty million dollars. In the natural
course OF things these lands will before
. great many years pass into the hands
Of private parties. When this CONVEX
sion hes been effected, the permanent
school fund OF the state will virtually
be held In cash, and it is vitality neces-
sary that provision should be made
now for the Investment of this great
sum so that the magnificent en-
dowment of our free schools may be
secured for the future and made to iu-
crease with the years
