call at this port annually for coal. and
which are compelled to lose twelve

wife OF Rev. w. T. Williams. late pas
tor of LeKies' Memorial NJ. e. Church,
though not unexpected, was received
yesterday with expressions OF deep sor-
row by her many friends in this COM

KEEPING UP
THE CLEARANCE

Making prices that keeps the selling on the
jump that keeps the buyers coming. But it
is an honest reduction sale, and with every
feature just as advertised article at
the price given. You can save money--on
some items 80 per cent, on others 30, on 9th
ers 10, and no matter the need it's simply
matter of business to come here for that item.
Paying ont dollars and getting back so and
IS cent pieces would by remarkable way of
doing business, but that is what you do
ing unless you buy your fall and winter sup.
plies here. Come and look them over, get
the prices, note the qualities, and you II ac-
knowledge at once that you can well antici-
pate your needs, that you can afford to buy
literally. We are making selling history
here, but that 3 the way demonstrate our
sincerity in this reduction sale.

THE Law AND LYNLHTNGS.

, Last year there were 127 lynchings
reported, of which 11S occurred in the
southern states. Several southern gov
ernors in their messages recommended
the passage of laws to- punish lynching,
among them Governor Ellerbe of South
Carolina, in which state there were
fourteen lynchings in 1898. The COVER
nor declares that there is nc excuse
for the demoralizing savagery that
breaks out now and then and with in
creasing menace threatens the course of
the law whenever an unusually heinOus
offense Is committed. He suggests that
any officer charged with the duty OF
holding and protecting a prisoner who
shall allow him to be seized by a mob
shall forfeit his office, as his failure to
protect his prisoner Is confession of his
indisposition or inability to perform the
high duty committed to him. Such Off
GERS, he says, will never correct lawless-
ness, for they are either in sympathy
with it or afraid of it. Governor Ellerbe
further recommends that any county in
which a lynching Is committed shall be
liable to the heirs of the victim in the
sum of 5000 and that men who shall
be convicted of participation in lynch
ing shall be deprived Of the right to vote
or to hold Office in the state.
Possibly legislation of this kind might
prove to some extent effective, but we
are inclined to agree with the view OF
the Baltimore American that the for
fixture of Office by those who allow
lynchings to occur could hardly be *
pected to act as a deterrent, nor would
a law Withholding suffrage from those
convicted of lynching amount to any
thing until such convictions become far
more frequent than they are now.
"Here is the secret of the whole mat
ter" says the American. 1.-The prosecu-
tons of the lynchers, in ninety-nine
cases out of 100, amount to nothing.
will not stop until the courts do their
duty, until those entrusted with the col
lection of evidence do that work with
out fear or favor, until juries convict
and judges punish. Then, and not until
then, will lynchings stop" This states
the matter frankly and fairly. The fail
ure of those charged with the enforce
mento Of law to do their duty is largely
responsible for the prevalence of the
crime Of lynching and it is unfortunately
true that these officials are supported
by Q strong public sentiment.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-01-16

fore in strict conformity with the duty
of the police to close all places to which
no license had been granted.
That the terrible hardship upon the
keeper Of a disorderly resort should
touch the tender sensibilities Of the po-
lice Judge Is not In the least surprising,
but we doubt whether the community
will grieve over 1t or feel disposed to
resent the so-called outrage committed
by the police.
AS to the cases of other resorts to
which licenses had been voted by the
board, but not actually delivered by the
clerk, there Is no ground for discussion.
The police are governed by the list of
licensed liquor dealers furnished from
day to day by the license board and not
by the diplomas hung on the wall back
of the bar.
While Chief White may, In his zeal to
clear the town Of professional law
breakers and suspicious characters, have
overstepped the mark, he cannot justly
be charged with spiteful persecution of
reputable people or despotic methods in
dealing with people who willfully sub
ject themselves to the rigors of the law.
