You know remarked the physician to
the patient whose mind he was trying to
! get on something else. according to the
Detroit Free Press, THE value of a shock
in performing cures? Well, had an ex-
perience once that you will hardly believe,
though it is gospel truth. 1 opened my Of
fee first in fiat. and being somewhat of
an athlete I am afraid it did not present
quite the appearance of most doctors CT

was a dlettant kind of chap. selfish, and
much devoted to a lot of really fine brio
a-brac he had in his apartment. on the
floor above him were the only women in
the fiat at that time two widowed sisters
with two of three children between them.
One night about 10 O'Clock when I came in
I smelied fire, and going upstairs to inves-
tigate discovered flames coming from the
floor above the windows l gave the alarm
at once and as l dashed up the stairs l met
my bric-a-brac friend at his door. told
him 10 run and turn in an alarm from the
corner, and he said he had to save his rare
things. l swore little bit and told him
to save the women and children, and when
he said something about getting out him
self | hit him a lick in the face and knock
ed him down the short fight of stairs TO
the first turn. He was up in an instant
and bounced UP the stairs, l supposed aft
er me, but il wasn't that. He tore up the
stairs and right through the smoke, black
as ink by this time. dragged the two wo-
men toward the stairs, dashed in and
brought out the children and before
knew exactly where I was he had dashed
into the apartment again and brought out
a half-smothered housemaid who had a
room at the end of the apartment. In the
meantime the firemen had arrived and the
fire was extipgushed before it had gotten
over TO the brc-a-brac side of the fiat and
my man had the satisfaction of saving his
rooms both from fire and water.
by midnight things had quieted down
enough for those of us stin in condition to
90 to bed, and at that hour the bric-a-brac
man came into my office with a black eye,
in addition to the fire and smoke scars.

AGAINST FURTHER SILVER AGITA-
TION

1t looks If there was a settled pur-
pose among the Democrats of the East
TO oppose the agitation of the silver ques-
ton in the national campaign next year.
The Democrats of Maryland, in their
state convention the other day, ignored
the silver question, and the Democratic
state committee of New Jersey. at its
meeting on Monday last, rendered decis-
ions that made 1t clear to the Democratic
politicians that the delegation from that
state to the Democratic national conven-
ton will be against bringing the silver
question into the national campaign. Gnd.
probably against MIR. Bryan.
1t is pretty safe to predict that in the
Eastern states efforts will be made TO send
delegates TO the Democratic national con
vention who are known 10 be against sill
yer but it is doubtful if the sentiment
against Mr.. Bryan will be anywhere near
as strong as against silver The better
times have had the effect in the East of
strengthening the sentiment against sill
yer, so that it is doubtful if any consid-
cradle number of silverites will be sent
to the national convention from that sec
ton.
1t may be that there will be a move
meut in that section against Mr. Bryan
also. The conference that is to be held
at Saratoga as soon as Mr.. Croker ar
rives from Europe is understood to be
for the purpose of selecting a candidate
for the presidential nomination in opposl-
ton to Mr.. Bryan. A few Democrats OF
prominence have been there for several
days talking over the situation. The i'm
preston seems to be that they are very
friendly TO Judge Van Wyck. He is SO
little known, however, that he will moi
stand much chance of getting very
strong support. Besides, il is well known
that he is a pillar of Tammany. and
however popular that organization may
be in New York, it is not in high favor
with Democrats outside of that city
The course pursued by the Democrats
of Maryland and New Jersey doesn't set
tie the question as to what the Democrats
Of those and other states in that section
will do when the time comes for choosing
delegates to the national convention. but
what they are saying and doing now are
indications of what may be expected OF
them next year.

4 CHANCE TO TEST PUBLIC sENTI.
NEWT.

An opportunity WIN be offered in Hall
| county 10 test the question as TO whether
/ persons guilty of having participated in a
/ iynching can be convicted of thai offense.
The 81 Smith lynching was a particularly
horrible one. The prisoner, Smith, was
confined IN jail. There was no danger that
he would escape before The time fixed for
his trial. and there was every reason 20
think that justice would be done in his
case. just before midnight on July "A
last, a number OF men secured admittance
10 the jail by a subterfuge and shot him
to death.
In our dispatches yesterday it was stat
ed that three Of the parties charged with
having been concerned in the Iynching
had been arrested and that one Of them
had confessed the part he took in the af-
fair and had given The names of those OF
his associates whom he knew. The state
therefore win not lack positive evidence
against The accused persons. VIII jury
convict them, and viii the court give them
the fuH sentence allowed by the law? We
believe the court and the jury win do theiI
duty.
II the evidence presented is clear and
sufficient it is safe TO predict that the
lyuchers viii be convicted. If that should
he the result of the trial Iynching in this
state would receive such a setback that
it would be a long time before there would
be- another Jynching, except for the crime
for which negroes are most commonly
lynched. Let it once be understood that
it is a dangerous thing for people to do to
take the law into their own hands ana
there Will he very noticeable depression
in the lynching spirit.
1t is evident from the account of the
arrest of the lynchers in the 81 Smith
case. that the most of those who take
part in ynchings, particularly those I'M
dertaken coolly and deliberately are per
suaded against their via. No doubt all
of those who assisted in lynching 81
Smith. except two or three who had a de-
sire for vengeance, We're influenced by
one kind of an argument and another to
take part in the affair. The one who has
confessed has not, from his own account
had a moments peace of mind since the
lynching. He realizes that he Is an Of
fender against the law, and stands a very
good chance 10 he severely punished. If
the idea that 1t is pretty certain that the
law win lay it's hand heavily upon those
who are guilty of mob violence becomes
fixed. the desire TO take part in a lynchmg
win not be so understandable as it appears
TO be now.
The progress of the ST Smith case wiz
be watched with keen interest through
out the entire state A Han county jury

lence a check from which it will never re-
cover.

THE TALLULAH LYNCHING.

The report of the secretary of the Italian
embassy at Washington to his government
on the Tallulah lynchng shows that 1t
was an inexcusable outrage 1t was to be
expected, of course, that the Italian gov
eminent would make it out 90 be as bad
as the facts would permit, in order to
have a broad foundation on which TO
base claim for damages for the relatives
of the victims of the lynching.
But the accounts of the affair by un-
prejudiced parties in New orleans make il
pretty clear that our government, if it
follows precedent, will have to pay an in
demnity amounting to a very considerable
sum. The statements which were sent
from Tallulah of the lynching made it out
that there was a conspiracy to kill Or.
Hodge, the consprators being the five
Italians who were lynched The facts APP
pear TO show that there was no conspiracy
and the five Italians were very decent sort
of people Instead of being bad men, as
had been represented, they were peaceful
and law-abiding. 1t is even said by disin-
terested parties that three of the men who
were iynched had nothing whatever to do
with the trouble between the other Ital-
ians and DR.. Hodge.
1t seems that the Italians were not in
good repute in Madison parish-the parish
in which the lynching occurred-because
they associated with negroes. They were
classed with negroes and were treated as
such. 1t is said that lynching is very
common thing in that parish, which has a
population made up almost wholly of ne
groes In fact. there are only 100 white
families in it. There are a hundred he
groes to every white person, but the white
people have absolute and undisputed con-
trol Of public affairs.
Ii is clear that the counties or parishes
in which Iynchings of foreigners occur,
ought to be made to pay whatever dam
ages the general government agrees shall
be paid. If that were the law the lynching
spirit wouldn't be so rampant. If Madison
parish were compelled to pay 500 900 or
even $50 coo indemnity for the killing of the
five Italians there would spring into life
a sentiment against lynching which would
pretty effectualy check crime OF that
kind.
The lynching of foreigners has cost the
general government well on TO half mil
lion dollars within the last forty years
The payments and the amounts are as fol-
lows:

The Rock Springs lynchng occurred in
1860. That was the first one for which the
government had to pay damages. The law
ought to be so changed that the indemnity
which will have to be paid for the lawless
acts of citizens of Madison parish viii
be the last that the general government
will have to pay.

The dispute as to who was the origina-
tor of the delectable beverage, the gin
rickey. still wakes hot. A reporter for the
New York Evening sun has run across
the following anecdote, which he announces
goes far to confirm the claim of Col. Joe
Rickey's friends that he, and he alone,
was the author of the iusidious toddy.
Last August during the invasion of
Porto Rico the Missouri battery, which
was made up entirely of St. Louis boys,
formed part of Gen. Brooke's brigade.
They were stationed at Guayama, and
one of the privates was young Hyde
Hickey, Col. Rickeys son. Now, the
captain of the battery was not popular
with all of his men. In Porto Rico one
of the men who Jared most raspingly
upon the captains nerves was young
Hickey. After all the minor penalties
had been exacted from him the captain
finally sent him down to Gen. Brooke
headquarters with message which de-
scribed him as incorrigible. Young Hickey
was taken to the generals headquarters
in fear and trembling. He decided in his
own mind that IL he got off with two
years in Leavenworth he might consider
himself lucky. He was ordered into the
generals room. While he stood trembling
at attention the general gazed at him
sternly.
Are you Col. Rickeys son|' he asked.
yes sir"
you're the son of old Joe Rickey?"
Yes, sir"
The son of the man who invented the
gin rlckey?" persisted Gen. Brooke.
yes sir"
"Weu, then look here, young man."
said the general, sternly, Just take
my advise. Leave your fathers mixed
drinks alone until you get to st. Louis.
If you don't you'll get into trouble. Now
don't let me hear of you and your rickeys
