THE LONDON SUNDAY PAPER.

They have newspaper agitation in
London. 1t is the question whether
newspapers should be published seven
days in the week or only upon six days.
They have tried the seven days system
but six weeks, and already there is for
midable opposition to it, and public
meetings have been held with a view of
inducing publishers to- return to the old
system.
The two chief Sunday papers are the
Telegraph" and the Mail" AT the
London protest meeting where Lord
Rosebery presided, the MALI proprie-
tor was present and admitted that his
experiment. had been failure He
added that he was willing to discontinue
the Sunday issue if his rival would fol-
low suit. There the matter appears to
have stalled. 1t would seem to the
American publisher that a month or six
weeks trial Of a new issue would be too
short test upon which to base a iudg-
ment- But evidently the Mali man
desires to return to- the former system
at any rate, and hence testifies readily
to the failure of the Sunday paper.
/ AS far as we are able to settle upon
any conclusion in the matter we must
think that the failure SO freely con-

A San Francisco contemporary ex-
presses surprise that with improved
artillery and small arms, rapid-fire
guns and long-range weapons, the fatal
tiles in battle are not so great as when
there were in use weapons that are
now considered valueless, out Of date
and by no means worthy of use. There
is no reason for such surprise. While
machine and rapid-fire guns, light ar
tillery and long range rifles and mus
kets have come in, so, too, have new
methods of fighting. The close order
business in armies, the ranging of lien
upon open fields at touch elbow" the
standing in solid formation to be
moved down as grass before the scythe
all that has been done away with.
There is more of fighting from trench
es; the shovel and the spade are first
brought into play in these war days.
The long-range guns keep armies far
apart, whereas formerly they were COM
PEELED to fight at close quarters to be
effective and with consequent greater
loss.

LYNcH1NG NOT DETERRENT.

The SOutheren press Is Dy no means
unit in holding that lynching is a
deterrent influence. We thought that
point had been settled years ago. AS
matter of fact lynching is revengeful
only; whenever crime is punished IN
that spirit more crime is bred. The Of
fender fears the law only when the law
is administered without passion, coldly.
| irresistibly surely Then it has terrors
for him, but if violence metes. out pun
| ishment in the spirit of revenge IL
breeds its like. Here we have the Au-
gusta (Ga) Chronicle" declaring that
while nothing can be said in extenua-
| ton of the awful crime of the negro
Hose, and while it is true that he
merited the severest punishment that
| could be -meted out to him, yet the
dread of such punishment does not
deter others from committing like
crimes. 1t adds:
But experience shows that lynching
does not prevent others from commit
ting this crime, and even the burning
of the Wretches- on several occasions has
not served to put an end TO these das-
tardly outrages. If these resorts TO
violent punishment had the desired eff
| feet even the sternest sticlder for law
and order would scarcely protest
against them. But when they fail of
the end aimed at, what is accomplished
by following the crime Of the individual
with the lawlessness of a mob?
The Savannah News declares the
| lynching of the man was in keeping
with the spirit of a Savage. ut pro-
vokes a spirit that is likely to lead to
other crimes, The Atlanta "Constitu-
tion,'' while approving the punishment
of Hose, regrets the form it took and re-
mains silent upon the effectiveness of
lyLching as a deterrent. 1t takes as a
text for an article the statement of S.
NJ. Inman that 80 per cent. of the ne
groes and white men of the South are
as respectful toward women as any
people on earth. The CONSTITUTION"
then says that if that 50 per cent of
negroes and whites would deliver negro
criminals to the law instead of harbor-
ing them as now the problem would be
solved. But nowhere in the article is
there any claim that the lynching re-
ferred to was beneficial as a lettering
influence.
The Savannah Press" however, is
outspoken. in saying that the latest
lynching sensation will undo the work
that friends of the State have been
doing for years.
It will dissipate and scatter to the
winds the efforts that have been pa
tiently making to show that Georgia Of
ferS to the homeseeker the model abode

manity are all united in a cordial well

fessed is due less to the prejudices of
the English reading public than to the
papers themselves. Such of the issues
as we have seen presented no strong
features distinguishing them as Sunday
papers. There was nothing about them
especially noticeable to suggest that an
effort to prepare reading matter OF a
wholesome and entertaining character
for the Sunday reader had been made
True, double numbers were sent out,
but they did not come up to the Amer1-
can idea of a readable paper, beyond
news departments and usual features
for the other six days of the week. The
Illustrations were ordinary and the spe-
cial matter, while clean and wholesome
was dry as dust and not inviting to the
general reader, and by the way there
are many things worse to do on the day
of rest than reading the clean, high
minded, teaching and wholesome news
paper.
British prejudice is in all things deep
rooted and least easily disturbed OF
anything English. To face that pre-
JUDGE, the result of ages OF custom
the publisher must come forward with
paper of a stronger quality and more
helpful character than either the Mali
or the Telegraph" men presented on
Sunday. On this side the water the
discontinuance of newspaper pubnca-
ton on Sunday would be quite as likely
to bring out popular protest, such as
was manifest in England against the
printing of a newspaper on that day
Here the popular demand is for the
Iseven day paper. The moral or SUNDAY
observance question really cuts very III
tie figure in it. The people of America
will have their news reading on Sunday
as well as on other days and we can
not think they are worse off because
they indulge themselves in that direc-
ton, though it is conceded freely that
there are Sunday papers and Sunday
papers-some indeed, which in gooo
morals and common decency should not
be printed ON any day of the week, OF
under any circumstances whatever.

My second child got eczema when seven
months old. Three months later my first child
got it, and following him, the last one, Two
years old, fell victim. For twenty months
they suffered fearful agony. Their whole bod
les, especially their faces, were so sore ana
raw that the little ones were blind han the
time. No words can describe the suffering OF
my second child, whose whole body was one
bloody mass. He was constantly crying, could
get no sleep, and he actually did not look nu-
man. l tried doctor after doctor, but none al
forded the slightest relief. I decided to try
CUTIcURA. The first application brought re-
lief in each case, and after fourteen days
treatment with CUTICURA SOAP and CUT1-
CURA (ointment), the worst case was cured,
and the whole neighborhood is surprised at
the wonderful effect of CUTICURA. Icontlnue
the use of CUTICURA SOAP for the children,
because it makes the little ones look splendid.
