SPINNING OUT THE FARCE.

"rhe promptness and unanmity with
which the Caucus Currency Committee
lately I'm session at Atlantic City reached
an agreement pointed strongly says the
New York Journal of Commerce, toward
a very moderate reform Of the currency.
On few propositions" continues the
Journal, there is a general agreement in
the administration party, but as soon as
a more complete revision of our currency
legislation is proposed radical differences
of opinion as to merits or expedency are
at once developed"
The meeting of the committee at At
Iantic City was merely another act in the
Republican currency reform farce, ana
| the farce will be kept on the boards ana
will be spun out as long as it serves the
purpose of fooling the people into the
belief that the Republicans have any Sc
rious intention of giving the country
genuine currency reform. Until the peo-
ple awaken to the fact that that is the
game. and place the Democracy in control
of all branches Of the government, there
is going TO be no change in the banking
and currency system and no relief for the
| masses

c.yyoT ESCAPE h.

A northern contemporary. in discussing
lyuchings in the South, remarks tha'
these events stand for a situation mere
which bears no relation whatever 10 inc
condition OF AFFAIRS that existed Detore
and during the war, when white "oh."
and children were practically LETT 10 "e
care of the negroes.
True. And what is the cause Oh "'e
difference In the conditions that e~i'''u
before and since the war, ana 'hoSo '''a'
obtain now? Where does the RESPONSE
bility for the difference -est?
The baltimore Sun, after quoting
paragraph describing the relations Oh inc
whites and the negroes in the South IN
the days of slavery, says that "heu '"e
negroes were under the control OF 'ne
whites OF this section they were all inc
writer of the paragraph claims Tor them'
But our contemporary ADDS:
"As soon as a generation grew UP not
having this guidance. but, on the con-
trary. were excited and misled by polu-
cal Adventures from the North, the CHAR
acter OF the negro changed. These ad-
yenturers for their own selfish purposes
put the negro race in antagonism 10 their
white neighbors. who have always been
their best and only friends, ana so the
race feeling and antipathy, such as ex-
lists. has grown up. II has grown entireiy
since the negro has been rendered pre-
sumptuous and defiant by the right 10
vote. which right he has been taught to
exercise for the ruin of the States In
which he lives. Lynchngs were unknown
until the agitator arrived from the North
and the negro was forced into politics.
And the Atlanta Constitution, in an arti-
Gle which gives the negro full credit
for his good behavior while slave, has
this:
What then, has come between the races
and put an end TO the confidential rela-
tons that once existed between them!
why. simply the teachings of the Repub-
lican politicians. The basis of the educa-
ton that every negro has received since
the war is hatred Of the southern whites.
Since he could SPELL he has read 1t In the
Republican newspapers; since he could
take an interest in advanced textbooks,
he has been taught that the duty he owes
the Republican party is to despise his
white neighbors. For thirty years, until
recently, the negro has had instilled into
him a blind resentment against those
who give him employment. who tax
themselves to give him a common school
education, and who have ever been fore
most TO aid him in lettering his condi-
ton.
The Sun and the Constitution hit the
truth as squarely as does our northern
contemporary There is no escape for
the Republican party from the response
bility of southern lynchinss Of negroes.

LuxArrcs PLEADING SANITY.

In these degenerate days when trickery
enters into almost everything II is most
refreshing 70 meet red-handed murderer
who. after being caught, refuses to plead
insanity. Such unique character IL ].
Nealc Plumb. who last week shot and
killed Alexander Masterton, a prominent
banker in New York. The prisoner de-
cIares that he will make no defence In
his case. and scouts the idea that ne IS
insane. Plumb's lawyer. whether his ell
ent be willing or not, Will enter plea
NJ not guilty and seek to show that the
prisoner Is mon compos mentis.' AS
matter OF fact there appears TO De pu'
little doubt that the murderer Is insane.
He presents the anomaly OF iunauc
feigning sanity.
singulariy enough. Law Notes, jour
nal devoted TO the legal profession, DIS
cusses this very subject in It's current is-
sue. It's editorial was doubtless "ri'te"
before the New York homicide occurIe"'
but several cases are cited 10 show thds

the opinion of an expert physician hort-
right succeeded in convincing the court
that he was sane, and he was discharged
The doctor who insisted on his insanity
made himself very unpopular ana became
the centre of q storm Of abuse. But the
suspect was recently committed lot
Iunacy. and his condition was so vio-
lent that II was deemed unsafe to bring
him into court.
In Lord Manshelds time a doctor was
indicted for keeping one Wood in MAD
house. The supposed lunatic underwent a
most severe examination by the defend-
ants counsel without exposing his mental
malady. and the prisoner came near be-
ing convicted, when Lord Mansfield, at
the suggestion Of a physician, asked WOOD
what had become Of the princess with
whom he corresponded in cherry-Jdice'
He Immediately showed his insanity by
an absurd answer. The poor wretch eX-
planned that since his imprisonment he
had been debarred the use of ink and
that he had to write his letters in cherry-
Juice and throw them into the riVer
which surrounded the tower, where the
princess received them in boat.
