PLAN TO PUNISH LYNCRERS.

It has been suggested that Congress
might pass law making lynching a
crime against the Federal Govern
ment and thus bringing all such cases
before the United States courts for
trial. 1t is argued that since a way
has been found to place the railroads
and many OF the street railways under
federal protection, there ought to be
some way to protect the lives of cit
liens in communities where mob law
is rampant. 1t does not follow that
taking such cases to the United States
courts would insure justice Gas wit
ness the case of the Lake City lynch
ers in South Carolina), nor is it clear
that such law would not infringe
upon the Constitution; but in the
light of recent events in the South
there is certainly need of such pre-
cautions as will prevent any further
spread of dangerous and threaten
ing condition of things. The majesty
of the United States is surely entitled
to protection against wholesale muir
der by mobs, even if the persons COM
posing them are residents of a state.
Every citizen of the United States
ought to be in a position to claim pro-
lection, even if certain doctrines re-
garding state rights have to go by the
board.

WATSON TO SUCCEED DEWEY.

The navy Department has selected
a successor to AdmiraIDeweyt to com
mand the Asiatic station. Orders.have
been issued detaching Rear Admiral
Watson from command of the Mare
Island Navy Yard and ordering him
to report to Admiral Dewey at Manila,
to relieve that officer when he feels
that he can be spared there. Rear
Admiral Kempff, at present on wait
ing orders, has been ordered to sue
ceed Admiral Watson in command of
the Mare Island Navy Yard. It is
stated at the Navy Department tina t
Admiral Dewey will come from Manila
direct to New York when he returns
to the United States. However. it
was added, the sdmiral will not start
until the commission, of which he is
member, has completed the work it
has undertaken, at least so far as 1t
relates to the restoration of peace to
the islands.
The reason for bringing the flagship
Olympia to New York instead Of hav-
ing her come to San Francisco, where
she was built, is said TO be primarily
because Admiral Dewey expects to
make the passage on his own flagship
and also for the reason that the Mare
Island Navy Yard threatens to be
overwhelmed with repair work as
soon as the numerous vessels of Dew
ey's fleet begin to return to the United
States, The Olympia is in need of
thorough verEauling, having been
away from her home station longer
than any other of the vessels in the
Asiatic fleet, and has rendered more
than the usual amount of hard service
during her absence.

It is said that a mans first right is
to be we'll born. If, then, he is well
mothered, he has by far the larger
part of all that earth can give him to
make his life sweet and strong. DR..
Talcott Williams, in a sketch of the
lives of our presidents, says:
eleven of them, or nearly half Of
the number, were in easy circum
stances, belonging to families Of ed
ucation aud gentle breeding; the
other half of the number struggled
with poverty and hardships more or
less severe" He also calls attention
to the fact that all, without exception,
had godly and devout mothers. "No
American" he says, "has become
the president without the memory of
the prayers be lisped at his mothers
knee. Not president but has some
where on record his testimony to
the training and religious influence of
a Christian mother"

NEW LIFE FOR CUBA.

The condition of the people in Cuba
to day is one of extreme poverty, and
in many provinces great suffering for
want of food. The people, contrary to
the statements of those who are fond
of charging the Cubans with being
lazy and unwilling to work, are not
only willing but anxious to work The
problem has never been one of finding
workers, but of giving work to those
who wished it. The present condition
of the country is such that there is
an enormous amount of work which it
is absolutely necessary should be done
in the near future, such as the reopen
ing of roads, building of bridges and
telegraph lines, rebuilding of little
towns and villages that have been
destroyed; in short, the restoration of
the country, great sections of which
have been absolutely destroyed by
war. We have been able to open up
many of the main roads, put the
towns in order, and, in fact, scatter
the people over the country in honest
labor on public works, in return for
which they have received either
daily wage of seventy five cents or
fifty cents and ration. In some cases
they have received three or four ra-
tions per day for ten hours work,
with no money, and by this method
many laborers have been able to feed
their families. The result has been
that, all through the Province, the
people have gradually gone to work
in one way or another. Of course,
they are very poor, yet all of Gen.
Woods officers and couriers, both
and Cuban, report no
starvation, and generally speaking,
a quiet, contented condition of the
people.-North american Revieav.

According to high official of the
Vanderbilt lines in this city the de-
tailsof big railroad trust, which is to
include all the lines between Boston
and Chicago, are now being worked
out and the consolidation may be
completed within the next few weeks.
The recent purchase of short lines in
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois was in line with the
plans for the consolidation which has
been in contemplation.
1t is not the purpose to have all the
lines under one management exactly,
but to the apportion them among the
Pennsylvania company the Wander
bilt interests and the Baltimore and
Ohio giving to each system the lines
that it can use to the best advantage.
The purpose of the consolidation is
said to be to prevent rate cutting and
to accomplish practically what the
Joint Traffic association was organ
lied to do.

Il GIGANTIC FLOUR DEAL.

| A combination of capitalists which
can not fail to have marked degree
Of interest for all classes of citizens is
| that involving the consolidation of
most of the great Touring mills in the
country. 1t is announced that the
Pillsbury, Washburn Crosby and the
Consolidated mills of Minneapolis are
not included but that the other -four
ing mills of that city and other CEN
tres will enter the trust. 1t is believed
that the flour combination will be
completed within a few days, and that
the contract will take immediate eff
feet. If reports are correct, the new
combination will be known officially
as the United States Milling Compa
ny, and its capital Will be the enor-
nous sum of S40,O00,OOO. MIR. George
Urban of the Urban mills of Buffalo,
N. Y, is to be president of the trust.
If all of the Minneapolis Touring
mills had decided to enter the deal,
the announcement of the trusts for
nation, covering as it does one of the
A.AS1Pdi loOu pIOOuCIS, NOuiO Uu-
doubtedly have carried CONSERVATION
to the middle and poorer classes
throughout the country, for the wheat
market seems to be more susceptible
of manipulation by spectators than
any other; and the power in the hands
of combination including ali of the
great mills in the United States would
be enormous.
The chances are that a mighty con-
hict will ensue between the trust and
the powerful mills of Minneapolis.
and SO long as this breach remains
unhealed it will be impossible to cor
ner the -four product of the United
States. II all Of the mills get together,
however, the famous wheat corners
of the country's history will be COM
pletely eclipsed by the gigantic deals
in chief food product of the Ameri-
can people.-Free Press.

TWO NECESSARY RULES.

A successful business man told me
there were two things which he learn
ed when he was eighteen, which were
ever afterward of great use to him,
namely: Never to lose any thing and
never to forget any thing. An old
lawyer sent him with an important
paper, with certain instructions what
to do with it.
But, Inquired the young man, sup
pose that should happen to lose it,
what shall do then?
You must not lose it, said the law
yer frowning.

LETTING IN THE AIR.

1t has been said that the happiest
people are those who have the least
imagination, but this element in ones
character may also bring much that is
desirable. Certain it is that the power
of Imagination has never been meas
ured.
Two women, each Of whom rode the
ventilation hobby with great zeal,
found themselves spending the night
in small country hotel. They had
scarcely put out the light when it was
realized that the window had not been
opened, and one started to attend to
it. The room was very dark,
and the matches were not at hand,
but after some cropping she found the
closed pane. After working desper-
ately for few moments, she exclaim-
ed in despair:
81 can't move it, what shall we do?''
"Do try" came from the bed; tive
shall suffocate before morning.
The next instant there was a crash
in the darkness.

I'll have air now, and how refreshing
it is!''
'Oh, yes" said the other, "that's
ever SO much better now. I could
not go to sleep without proper venti-
lation.'
So they went contentedly to sleep.
In the morning the window was found
tightly closed, but the glass door of a
big bookcase, which stood in a corner,
was shattered.

I don't mean to, said the young
man, but suppose happen to?
But say you must not happen to.
I shall make no provision for such an
occurr ence, you must not lose it.
This put a new train of thought
into the young mans mind, and he
found if he were determined to do a
thing he could do it. He made such
a contingency that he never lost any
thing,
He found this equally true about
forgetting. If certain matter of i'm
portance were to be remembered, he
pinned it down on his mind, fastened
it there, and made it stay. He used
to say.
When man tells me that he forg OF
to do something, I tell him he might
as we'll have said: ST do not care
enough about your business to take
the trouble to think of it again" 1
once had an intelligent young man in
my employment who deemed it suf-
icient excuse for neglecting an i'm
portant task to say, " I forgot" 1
told him that would not answer, if he
were sufficiently interested, he would
be careful to RENE mber. 1t was be-
cause he did not care that he forgot.
I drilled him with this truth. He
worked for me for three years, and
during the last of the three he was
utterly changed in this respect. He
did not forget thing. His forgetting,
he found, was lazy and careless hab-
it of the mind, which he cured.

a VICTORY FOR THE WEST.

The now practically conceded triumph
OF General Henderson OF Iowa in the race
for the speakership OF the FIFTY sixth con-
gross is matter of much significance to
the great West and through the Vests in
terests 10 the gulf coast--particularly 10
the Texas coast
General Henderson Is thorough going
republican partisan. It is true In all mat
tiers OF political cast he IAN be counted
on as confidently as MIR. Reed, or any
other republican, to antagonlse democratic
policies In tho promotion of the schemes
OF the Mckinley administration this new
speaker will be found more sympathetic,
in fact, than Mr. Reed. That much we
must be prepared to accept from the out
set, 1t is the fortune OF party war in this
country and we are used to It.
But over and above all this there are
reasons for believing that the choice OF
General Henderson for speaker will be
peculiarly fortunate for the people OF this
section because in non-political matters
his leanlngs Will be toward the interests
OF the West and the influences which will
be closest to him will be those specially
concerned in Western development.
1t can not be denied that for some year,
past under republican congresses, the Eas
has enjoyed the creates. degree of govern
ment favors. The "llon's share" has gon,
to New England and to the States alopl
our North Atlantic seaboard, Whenever
there was a question of the distribution o
appropriations. So conspicuous has beer
this discrimination and favortism, in fact
that General Hendersons now apparen
victory was made possible by the resent
ment OF other sections against the Eas
and the determination OF Western repre-
sentatites to stand together in order t,
protect properly their own constituencies
Great commercial questions, involving
transportation problems aud new ship
ping facilities, are now particularly en-
gaging Western attention. That Western
intelligence fully recognizes the fact a
last that the interests Of the Tranmissis
sippi region are largely dependent on tn
development Of deep water on our Texa
coast, was amply demonstrated the othe
day at Wichita.
