were SO nearly perfect that it puzzled
the Government experts for a long
time to find distinguishing mark
that revealed the counterfeit Under
these circumstances it would seem an
injustice to punish cigar dealers who
were victimized by these spurious
stamps with confiscation of their
goods.
1t is a delicate question, because any
compromise with the law on the sub
ject is an additional invitation to coun-
terfeiters. Yet it is unquestionably a
great hardship to compel dealers to
bear the whole loss consequent upon
crime of which they as well as the
Government were the innocent vic
tins.

AN APPARENT HARDSHIP.

The counterfeiting business which
has flourished so extensively in our
neighbor State of Pennsylvania, has
received hard blow, and the Govern
ment officials are not likely to rest I'M
til the last counterfeit bill and revenue
stamp is ferreted out, for Government
agents are everywhere, and already
millions of cigars stamps have been
seized
Meanwhile the question naturally
arises, Is it a square deal to make In
nocent dealers suffer for the acts Of
these expert counterfeiters? It must
Be remembered that these counterfeits

THE 1ArEsr LyNCaING HORROR

The latest lynohing horror in the
South, of which the Register alone OF
the entire press of the upper Ohio
valley including Pittsburg, published
full account in it's regular edition yes
terday morning, is such as to beggar
comment. Before the awful, sickening
details of that savage act the mind
stands paralyzed. 1t would seem to
culture and training under the highest
and best laws of enlightened civiliza-
ton have not sufficed to drive from our
breasts the natural brute instinct. No
matter how thick the veneer of civiE-
cation the primitive animal man is
there.
The Register uses the collective pro-
noun in this connection because it must
not be supposed that the white people
living north of Mason and Dixon's line
are of different mold from the white
people living south OF it. For they are
not Human nature is just the same
and is actuated by exactly the same
loves and passions and motives in
Maine as in Georgia.
1t will not do for us at the North to
point the finger of scorn and horror at
the people of Georgia as if they were
of a different species from us. They
are not different in any essential, or
non-essential, from us. who read of
this latest act of horribly savagery
probably honestly feeling that WE
never could be guilty of it.
In the midst of our righteous indig-
nation at this inhuman and unpardon-
able crime-a crime unjustifed, no
matter how infamous the black deed
of the black monster who paid SO awful
a penalty-in the midst of our wrath
and denunciation of our fellow citizens
of Georgia, who are guilty of this thing
let us remember the divine injunction:
Judge mott"
Never having had to,bear the burden
of the Southern white people, knowing
nothing ourselves of the circumstances
by which they are hedged about and
which ever threaten to engulf them in
a deadly war of the races, circum-
stances, conditions and prejudices that
are bound to exist as long. as black
skins are black and white skins are
white, it is not for us at the North to

of the South. For we are not COM
petent to judge beyond the bare facts,
and can not maintain that we in the
place of the Georgians, circumstance
as they are, would not deal with crimes
against the honor of womanhood and
home as do the Georgians-even losing
our humanity and civilization and re-
sorting to the modes of the primitive
savage, as they in this instance have
done, in wreaking vengeance upon the
perpetrators. We may denounce their
be pllnished-for there is no palliation
for such debasing distortion of justice
but let us precede our denunciations
of our Southern brethren with a calm
study of all the facts and conditions,
and, allowing for the innate savagery
that can never be refined or civilized
out of the human breast, put ourselves
in the places of the Southern whites,
bearing in mind the spirit of the in
junction of Christ:-"Let him who is
without sin among we cast the first
stone!"
Meanwhile, the authorities of Georgia
are doubtless able to cope with the sit
