Not Quite In Tune.

~HUS far, the Pingree voice and
the Alger voice are not so &C
curately attuned as to render
their song a sample of complete and
thoroughly satisfying harmony. That
will not excite wonder-Pingree and
Alger in one key and with the same
rhythm are something altogether new.
These two men on one platform, of
one mind and with the same sentiment,
present a novel spectacle; the thing
cannot be expected to start right off
without a certain amount of dishar-
mony and Earring.
SO, it happened, day before yester-
day, at the Alger demonstration, that
the speeches of Pingree and of Alger
did not jibe. Pingree breathed out
threatenings and slaughter against the
public and the press in general and
against the administration in partic-
ular. His was a turbulent, ill-tem-
pered talk-he wants to fight for Alger
and he doesn't care who knows it.
BY his testimony Alger won the Span
ish war, and he would have been

full incompetence in his official en-
yirons.
What General Alger said was as a
calm after a great roar. BY the gen.
erals own testimony he has no kick
coming; he declared that he has no
grievance; he asserted that he had
''all the support the president could
give" To be sure. this last remark is
left-handed affair; it involves a
doubtful compliment: it leaves the
public to wonder whether in Alger' s
judgment, "all the support the presi-
dent could give" was insignificant at
best.
However, Alger was meek and mild.
compared with Pingree. The former
secretary did not shy casters into the
ring-he spoke as a man who knows
he has had enough might be expected
to speak. Presently Pingree will fire
the popular heart in Michigan and we
may be sure that when things are
ready for the real work of setting
snares for the administration, Alger
will be lacking neither with voice nor
purse.

as decent citizens. It is safe to predict
that there will never be another Grim
inal assault in the Palmetto and New
man sections until this generation has
died out and the fate of Hose has been
forgotten"
But with due difference to Mr.. Grady.
1t is not safe to predict" anything Of
the kind. Does not Mr.. Grady say him
self that the people of the South do
not claim that lynchings will put a
stop to the crime?' A negro brute cap
able of doing what Hose did will NOT
be deferred, if favorable opportunity
offers, by any consideration whatever
If he stops to think at all, he will rea
son that no matter who else may have
been caught, he can surely make good
his escape.
1t is undeniable that the South is
practically unanimous in favor Of
lynching. on the plea that it is a neces-
sary evil; and as long as the South
thinks that, all the reasoning and
moralizing of nOrtherners is practically
useless, for the the South resents the
attempt of the North to interfere in
the matter by changing her public SEN
tinient. The best way to check the
crimes for which lynching is inflicted
is to encourage southern women to go
armed and to shoot negroes at the first
suggestion of insult. Both North and
South would justify and applaud them
for Tins defending their honor. tho
fear of being shot on the spot would
be a more powerful deterrent to a
negro than anything else imaginable.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-08-04
How the South Views Lynching.

IN a vigorous and spirited letter to
the New York Herald, Henry W.
Grady of Atlanta, a son of the famous
Georgian of that name, justifies lynch
ing and protests against the criticisms
passed upon lynching bees by northern
people, who know nothing about con-
oitions in the South. Mr.. Grady goes
ITO the root of the matter and makes
some candid admissions: The people
of the South" he says" do not claim
that lynchings will put a stop to the
crime. But every white man believes
matters would be much worse were 1t
not for the prompt action of the people.
Revenge is not the basis of mob ac-
ton. Rage is the crystallizing point
of mob action. And it is the rage of the
frightened animal brought to bay-the
frenzy of men who cannot but feel that
their own homes may suffer next. Office
seekers, invalids and towards are the
only ones who do not take part in the
lynchings."
This is getting down to bottom prin-
ciples. Mr.. Grady admits that it is
dominates the mob.
There may be merit in his argument
that lynching eXerts a powerful deter
rent infiuenCe-if such is the case. 1T
Is a strange fact" says this Atlanta
authority, that negroes regard a legal
hanging as they would regard a picnic.
1t has no terTors for them. Whenever
a negro is hanged publicly. the people
of his race flock by thousands from
miles around. and spend the day, as
they call it, frolickin', But let a
negro or two be lynched by a mob, and
the effect is very different There is
nothing funny to the ignorant brutes
about the way Hose was treated or the
way negroes have been treated in the
lower part of this state tho past few
days. The invariable result Of such
action is that all the bad negro char
acters in a settlement leave or behave

made. They resumed their journey on
Saturday. but on reaching Auburn,
twenty six miles away, a valve of the
engine snapped off, necessitating a six
hours. delay, Whether they will ever
complete their transcontinental journey
is a question. Their i'll success, how
ever, doesn't prove the inability of
cross country touring by automobile. 1t
simply proves that this particular We
hicle is not adapted to the task imposed
upon it. Doubtless Yankee ingenuity
win yet produce a vehicle strong and
tough enough for any kind of a road
traversible by horse carriages. Last
spring a gasoline propelled vehicle
made 700-mile trip from Cleveland to
New York in forty hours and four min
utes of actual running.

President Mckinley Plays Euchre.

TT SEEMS, according to yesterdays
dispatches, that with the other
amusements and relaxations in
which they are INDUCING during their
summer vacation President and Mrs.
Mckinley are playing euchre. we are
rot sure that this announcement will
be hailed with joy by the good bishops
and ministers of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, of which both Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckinley are devout and conscientious
members. To many ears the word eu-
chre has a sinful sound. To many
minds it conjures up visions of rakish
associates, late hours and ungodly con-
versations. To these excellent people
euchre is wickeder than whist, which,
though exerting immoral influences, is
yet supposed to appeal to some extent
to mans Intellectual nature. Euchre
is classed little lower than whist and
a little higher than poker and faro. 1t
ranks with the dangerous seven-up,
the unholy casino, the demoralizing
cribbage and the scandalous slough
But these opinions are not shared by
a majority of Mr.. McKinley's fellow
citizens; nor are we sure that they are
shared by majority of Mr.. McKinley's
fellow Methodists. There is such a
thing as progressive Methodism as well
as progressive euchre. The Methodist
church is more tolerant than 1T was
a generation ago, when dancing, card
playing or theater going would subject
a member to earnest reproof from his
pastor, and, if persisted in, to trial and
expulsion. Now the Methodist church
leaves the question of amusements
largely to a members own conscience.
1t still dcnounces dancing, vigorously
and unreservedly. but it has tacitly
taken the ban off legitimate drama,
and as for card playing-well, the ac-
ton of President and Mrs. Mckinley
is altogether likely to remove that in
teresting diversion from the realm of
pure, unalloyed deviltry. The younger
Methodists will seize upon their eX-
ample with avidity and zest
