GOVERNOR MOUNT on LYNCHiNG

In bis annual message TO the Indiana Legis-
,ature Governor Mount paid special attention to
the crime of lynchng and no public officer
within our knowledge has spoken with more
force and reason on the subject. Having in
mind the case OF Ave men charged with purg
larry who were taken from the Ripley County
Jail by mob and killed, and similar though
less atrocious performance in Scott County,
Governor Mount recommends the passage OF
law making every county responsible LOT such
acts within its borders and liable for damages
AT the suit Of the nearest of kin or the person
lawlessly put TO death; and he further ad'lses
that a Sheriff who permits prisoner 10 DE
taken from his custody by a mob should DE re-
ourcd 10 forfeit his office. The value OF any
specific enactment for the prevention or lynch
ing and the punishment OF those by whose 'oi
Grafton the crime Is accomplished may De Varl
ously estimated, but there cannot be two honest
opinions of the wisdom of Governor MOUNT
general remarks concerning it, He holds the
Judge whose administration OF the law Allows
Justice to be delayed or thwarted. or who pri-
vatey excuses the proceedings OF n MOD IT,
sponsbc in a measure for such tiendish acts as
he describes. but that Is not the most sighncan'
part of his discourse. 1t is In these words 'ha'
he goes straight 10 the heari oi 'he Hi"'''''
cannot be argued that lax enforcement OF law
"iustifes a manifestation Of contempt or courts
land disregard for the law. Any county that
"can organize n sentiment TO prevent lynchers
from being punished can also organize against
"crme and punish criminals in court OF JUS
"tice" That is a true and penetrating COM
ment. which deserves to be pondered in every
community where mob law finds opponents ana
apolosists The thought is not new, but II mas
seldom been so clearly, completely and compact
" expressed Governor Mount prescrbes the
authentic remedy for an evil which shows TOO
few signs Of disappearing with the advance or
civilization.

MYSTERIOUS DISPATCH FROM GEN. OTIS
IT CAUSED SOME CONSIDERATION UNTIL ITS
TRUE SIGNIFICANCE WAS DISCOVERED.

IT CAUSED SOME CONSIDERATION UNTIL ITS
TRUE SIGNIFICANCE WAS DISCOVERED.
Washington Jan. 8 (SpeciaD-The War Depart
ment received cable dispatch from General Otis
to-day which caused some CONSERVATION. consider
ing the critical condition Of affairs which popu-
larlv presumed to exist in the Philippines just now.
II consisted Of only seven words and was not
couched in the customary cipher used by the De-
partment when important messages are trans
mitted but until Its true significance was dscov-
important bearing on developments at Iloo or,
possibly at new centres OF insurgent disturbances.
The dispatch was as follows
Manila. January @.
Adjutant- General Washington.

OTIS
For time Adjutant- General Corbin was thor
oughy mystined. ard could not imagine what Gen
eral Otis meant by language OF this character
which did not seem 10 NJ the secret code books or

OF Aguinado. In the hope OF efrectlng solu-
ton however he referred It to the Quartermaster-
General, who has exclusive jurisdiction over all
matters pertaining to the bedding and domestic
economy OF the Army. and 1t did not take General
IMdington long to remember that time ago
when he was preparing for large shipment Of
supplies to the troops In the Philippines he had
contemplated including ten thousand hair mat

how many he really needed.

RUSSIA AND THE CANA l..

A writer in the "Novoe Vremya," leading
Journal Of St Petersburg, is quoted as bitterly
lnveighing against the American scheme OF
constructing a canal across Nicaragua, ana
as urging that all possible RUSSIAN sup
port be given 10 the French enterprise at
Panama. A Nicaragua canal he says, would
he n purely American undertaking. while one
Mt Panama would remain in the hands OF the
French: wherefore Russia ought TO favor the
latter and oppose the former.
1t Is scarcely to be supposed that this writer
reflects the sentiments OF the Russian Govern
ment although the strict censorship exercised
over the Russian press throws upon that Gov
eminent the suspicion OF approving everything
that is published. At any rate, It Is well known
that the views Of this writer arc shared by not
n few others In more than one European coun-
fry. That is n fact that should be squarely
recognized. and that should not be without It's
weight in determining the final settlement OF
the canal question.
No stronger argument could be put forward
for the American policy than Is made by This
Russian writer The fact that Panama canal
would be a French canal, and that Nicaragua
canal would be an American canal In owner
ship and control makes II imperative that the
canal be constructed at Nicaragua ana not
Mt Panama The whole policy OF this Ma
ton for the best part Of a hundred years
has been fatty opposed to any such european
dominance on this continent as would inevi-
tably be involved in European control of such
waterway The construction and control OF
an isthmian canal by European Power would
be as much a menace 10 the interests OF the
United States as would the seizure and fortin-
cation Of some American territory by the same
Power.
We do not suppose that any European Power
means to offer such menace, or Will do so.
The iitful ditch-digging ut Panama Is not to be
taken seriously The despairing appeals of Its
promoters for Americans 10 come to their res
cue show plainly what straits that unhappy
enterprise is in. But the best way to forestail
and prevent any possibility OF unpleasant com
plications, and at the same time to serve the
interests OF this Nation. Is for the United States
10 60 ahead and construct the Nicaragua canal
at the earliest possible moment. That Will set
tie the whole business.

THE CRUSADE AGAINST SMOKE.

There Is some encouragement In the DIT or
news which was printed yesterday to the ef-
feet that a man had at last been brought into
court under a charge of fouling the air with
soft-coal smoke, had been tried and convicted,
had been fined S25 for the offence and had
paid the fine. He the proprietor OF
steam-heating concern. an interesting cfrcum-
stance in view Of the fact that 1t was steam
heating concern that first menaced me city
with the smoke nuisance, dozen or more
wears ago. and which provoked the authorities
10 take the first vigorous steps toward defence
~ the city against 1t. The fine imposed seems
small COMPARED with the magnitude and wan
tonness OF the offence. But perhaps II Will
serve. small penalty, promptly and unspar-
iugly imposed Is more effective than a larger
one concerning the imposition OF which there
is broad margin OF doubt
And this penalty should be imposed In every
case without delay and without leniency. The
people who are defling the air OF this city with
black smoke have no excuse whatever. They
can offer no palllatlon Of their offence They
are breaking the law IN particularly odious
manner They know they are doing 80. They
do II pnrposely They are simply hoping the
law Will not be enforced against them or seeing
how long they can escape IFS execution upon
them. They knew when they began using soft
coal that they were going 10 violate the law.
