Atlanta Journal.

Did the soldiers help Jacksonville ?"
We'll, L should say So remarked citi-
zen OF that place. First and last, he
said, 1--WE had about so 900 soldiers camped
in and near Jacksonville. 1t is estimated
that they spent in the city not less than
$4,000 a month for several months. That
is reasonable estimate. think. because
these soldiers spent more than an average
of $l1 month during their stay This
money was put in actual circulation and ev-
erybody got some of il. from the peddler on
the street to the merchant prince. The re-

BURNING OF SAM HOSE.
Mrs. w. Y. Atkinson, Wife OF n For

ATLANTA. Ga. April 29-Mrs. w. Y. At
kinson. whose husband, former Governor
Atkinson. made an earnest effort to prevent
the burning OF Sam Hose. has written a
letter to a friend in Atlanta telling of the
occurrence. Mrs. Atkinson says: The &C.
casion reminded me of the Sunday afternoon
in Mexico City just before bull fight, only
here il was much more intense in blood
thiTstiness. There was a certainty of death
the moment the horrible creatures foot
rested on Newnan's soil, for crowd of
armed men brought him here Had the
walls of the Coliseum been around that
burning stake and its writing human form.
a scene of old Rome would have been per-
fectly reproduced in this community, and
doubtless the spirits of the ancient Caesars
would have applauded their apostles of the
nineteenth century as the fires thick flame
shot a dismal glare While we feel no pun
ishment could be too severe for that GRIM
inal. ii is generally deplored that a death
barbarous was given him in this COM
munity. The possible injury TO the boys
and young men is inconceivable.'

VINEGAR AND YEAST.
Trast That VIII Control 95 Per Cent.
of the Country's Output.

CHICAGO. April 2.-The Tribune says:
after the middle Of May there will be but
one vinegar factory in Chicago. the output
Of which Is not controlled by the American
Vinegar Company, which is being financed
by Henry Clews & Co., Of New York.
Four Chicago companies have given options
on the purchase of their factories, as fol-
lows: Spielman Brothers Company. the w.
H. Bunge Company, William Henning &
Co. and the Prussing Vinegar Company.
The estimated value of the four Chicago
plants is 100000. After their absorption by
the American Vinegar Company that COR
poration will, IL is said, control 80 per cent.
of the vinegar and yeast output in the
United States. Forty factories in various
from Omaha TO Boston and from Du-
buque to Louisville will be in the COM
bination. In all these factories yeast is an
important by-product. The consolidation of
all the interests will terminate a four
to yeast prices. Yeast for some time has
been selling at 10 cents a pound. while the
cost Of manufacture is about IS cents. 1t is
expected the price of yeast will be raised TO
the latter figure. The future price of vine
gar will be less affected and may be neither
raised nor lowered. Some thirty factories in
the country will be closed. In all cases the
trade will be supplied from the nearest
point of manufacture, saving much in
freight The annual vinegar output is 70O,-
600 barrels.

NEW YORK. April 29.-Rev. DR.. Joseph
Silverman OHebrew) preached to-day in the
Temple Emanuel on the subject Of Modern
Barbarism." He began by briefly relating
the recent lynchings in Georgia and then
said in part: What an awful and sorry
spectacle our country thus presents to the
student Of history and TO the world at large.
Here we have been protesting against the
barbarities of the Spanish government and
have carried on a war in the name of hu-
mainly and justice, while within our own
borders such nameless torture and terrible
persecution are permitted to hold sway.
There is something radically wrong with
the machinery of our government when the
mere recital of a few doggerel verses at a
private banquet can stir up the feelings
OF two nations and the interest of the world.
can be made the matter OF even a brief Dip
lomatic interview and the subject of a Cabi-
net session. while this wantOn, brutal tor
ture and slaughter of men without trial is
brushed aside by the President OF the United
States as a matter with which the national
government has no concern. When the state
officers connive at the butchery practiced
under their own jurisdiction and indirectly
condone this manifest violation of law and
order and the national government is still
silent then Il Is time for the people 10 rise
horrors of summary execution. III the state
authorities are incapable of putting down
lynch law and forcing respect for regular
proceedings. then some way ought to be
found for instituting a congressional inves-
tigation into these barbaric practices and
for providing remedial legislation. as was
done in respect 20 the Ku-klux Immediately
after the civil war"

The first reason why rich Americans leave
home to live in England is because social
conditions there are fixed and reliable, and
because rich and poor alike do as they
please there with a degree OF liberty that Is
unknown anywhere else on the globe. 1t is
true that certain rich men and noblemen
take advantage of this liberty and shut
themselves in their parks TO spend Sun
days in feasting, riding. dancing and out
door sports of lively and noisy kinds, and
that no one knows it at the time except
their servants. On this account ii is said
by some narrow minded critics in America
that our rich who stay in England do SO
because they can give Sunday concerts on
lawn beside the Thames. or can dance
and enjoy music hall talent in their country
houses, but that is too microscopic a defini-
ton of the liberty of which | speak. and
too discreditable to our emigrantS Tor me
TO adopt 1t. 1t is simply a fact that must
be thrown into the balance with the rest OF
