VENGEANCE IS MINE"

It is almost impossible for a person of right mind ito conceive of the dia- bolical spirit which must take posses sion of men who are impeled to such horrible crimes as these per petrated in Palmetto, Ga, where two negroes were slain with no more fesling than would have been shown by the most blood thirsty race of savages. But it is also difficult to conceive of the temper of editors and public men who can coolly justify such horrors in their moments of reflection, as several of the leaders of thought in the south have done Think of the provocation," is the purport of an editorial in no less a journal than the Atlanta Constitution, but not word of condemnation for the fiends who mutilated with knives and then burned alive before a thou sand pairs Of eyes a human being. There was not even the justification that justice might miscarry. There was no proof of the guilt of one victim. It was as absolutely certain as any thing can be on this earth that both of these negroes, guilty or innocent, would have died at the hands of the law to satisfy the public demand for their miserable lives. The anarchists who thus set aside all human and di- vine law to commit these murders may fatter themselves as the champions of womanhood and all that, but they can not set aside the memorable retribu- tion that comes at the end. Justice may turn her head away now, but it is written that there is a Court which makes no distinction in the color of murderers or of their social standing. Vengeance is mine; will repay, saith the Lord

MIR. BRYAN'S DILEMMA

The political status of MT. Bryan is pcintedly stated by MT. Joseph Pulit- ger, editor of the New York World, in the latter's London interview. MT. Pulitzer, like many other democratic editors and like many democratic ora tors, has for some time openly and fearlessly declared that the silver issue must be relegated tc the rear if the party is to be brought to the front. In London MT. Pulitzer said:
 "It seems to be assured that MT. Bryan will again have the nomination for the presidency next year.
 Will he have the support of a united party?" was asked.
 That said Mir Pulitzer, "all de- pends upon his good sense or his folly. If he again puts the free silver issue to the fore and fights on it, many of the party will stand aloof; but if he is con- tent to let free silver sink to the

ATKINSON'S CRIME.

Edward Atkinson, cne of the anti : mitted sending literature of his society tq the soldiers at Manila, and when asked if he did not believe such stuff would cause insubordination among the soldiers he replisd:
 'sYes; the kind of insubordinatio1 which I hope, with Tolstoi, will ere long pervade all armies to the end that criminal aggression may be made i'm possible by th5 refusal of soldiers whc think for themselves to carry out or ders which are as abhorrent to them as they are inconsistent with any moral, economic CT political principle.
 Such clap-trap and such reasonable utterances mark Atkinson as an enemy of his country. He is clearly open to arrest for his conduct, but we fancy the administration will not gratify his vanity by making martyr Of him. The pcstoff1ce department, however, ordered that his Iite-aturs be barred from the Manila mails, properly hold ing that the circulars are designed to create mutiny and discomfort among the soldiers. Mir. Atkinson has com mitted a most serious offence. He is just as much engaged in a reasonable rWcrk as were the men of 1863 who pro voked riots in opposition to the draft. He forgets what a soldiers duty is. The first duty soldisr has to learn is to loibey orders. It is net for the soldier, who voluntarily enlists, to have any opinions; it is net fer him to think. The soldier has cnly to act and to act loyally. That our soldiers at Manila have been loyal and patient and energetic we all know. That Ed ward Atkinson should endeavor to foment mutiny among cur troops far from ksme is to be set down to his eternal discredit He is not true American and he is not loyal citizen of the country in which he lives. He has assumed the detested role of man without a country.

MT. Bryan has again thrown d,SwE the challenge to the republican party on the money question, and neither he TOT his idolators will be disappointed in the reception of that challenge. They will not long be left in doubt that the republican party will take more ag- gressive stand than aver Cn this issue. It could not ask anything better than that the democratic blunderers should rely on a fallacy that was scotched by the vG.ers of the nation and later killed by the prosperity which Bryan and his school said was impossible un- dIsr the gold standard.

Opinions expressed in the columns Of The Republican show that the progressive people Of Phoenix do not endorse the making up of an exhibit of 600 Arizona Indians and complete assortment of Arizona cactus to Da sent to the Omaha exposition. The project is apt ao stand, however, unless the citi
 zens of the territory bring pressure to bear on the authorities at Washing ton It does not appear to us likely that the president would sanction such an exhibit, in view of the injury that it would work to Arizcna,, if the facts were properly presented to him. The proposed exhibit ought to spur the people to united ac- ton in opposition to the In dian and cactus display, and in favor of an exhibition at Omaha of the products of Arizona that would reflect creditably on the territory and be iuhIl means Of attracting general at tention to this magnificent region.

AHEAD OF THE WORLD.

Mir. W. s. LayGOck of Sheffield. Eng land, an extensive manufacturer of railway rolling stock appliances, is at the Shoreham with his family. He is a frequent visitor to the United States and is here now on combined tour Of business and pleasure.
 You are far ahead of us in this country" said he, ''in the matter of turning out railway equipment. I came to Pftasburg to purchase malle- able castings, brass reds, vrstibules, and the like because I can buy them l 25 per cent cheaper than they can be had in England. am obliged to come 1 cNer h-Te fer nearly all the special tools needed in my works, and also fer a great deal of material. American iron castings are better and cheaper than thcse obtained icn our side tue ocean; deliveries are more regular, and when a new part is needad, it can be had from the states more expeditiously and with greater certainty that it will be what is required than if ordered at home
 "Aanerica is ahead Of the world in all that relates to Railroads and their operation. Nowhere on the globe can enc traveL in such comfort and luxury. It would seem that the limit of perfec- titn had been reached on such great syStans 2s the Pennsylvania and the New York Central, which are the won der of all foreigners. You have got ahead of US also in another important niatter-ths equipment of trains with safety appliances. That has of late occupied the attention of the British parliament, and it is believed that law somewhat in the style of yours, requiring the companies to usl these devices for the safety of employees will shortly be enacted
 ''But, in conclusion, let me tell you this: While I freely admit that you have gone ahead of the mother country in many ways, I still think the old soil is the country for man who lwants to enjoy life. I wouldn't live in New York if they'd give me title to Man haitian island. The people over here, in their eagsr chase for the almighty dollar, rush so that they haven't time for solid comfort. We may be slow in Britain. but I think we get more out of life, more substantial pleasure, more real happiness. s.'-Washington Post

I background, and fight the battle on the questions Of expansion and anti-expan- sion and anti-monopoly or trusts, he will receive wide support"
 But MT. Pulitzer does not discuss the possibility of nominating MT Bryan and running him on a platform il which silver is subordinate or oD- scured. MT. Bryan is looking for en- couragement on that line. It is true that there is nothing too incongruous for the democratic party, and yet it would indeed be a freak of politics to select MT. Bryan as the leader of the party and offer him any other than a freq silver horse to mount and ride at the head of the column.
 The difference between MT. Bryan and the other leaders of the party is just this: MT Bryan would rather re- ceive the nomination with little or no chance of success than to see the honor go to some other man with req scnab.e prospects of winning; while the ether leaders would naturally rath- CT sacrifice MT. Bryan's chances than hopelessly to compromise those of the party.
 What MT Bryan wants to know IS whether he could still be 'tlogicaP' if hsl should admit, at this late day, that free silver is not absolutely essential to the salvation of the country. Doubt less if the nomination could precede the adoption of a platform, MT. Bryan would be very dsferential to his col leagues after he had secured the GOV eted personal homer. Meantime, he seems to hold the balance of power, but he doesn't know what to do with It. City Journal

SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT.
