he shall have passed out of the
gabernatorial chair, out of politics
and the arena of action, viii not be
mourned a. sincerely, nor missed
- much q many another governor
before him.
In extenuating the lynches at
Palmetto and TO give license to
others of like proclivities, he says
that the negroes wearing the blue
uniforms, those that marched up
San Juan hill singing, ''There'll be
q hot SINE in the old town to-
night" Those same that rescued
the rough riders and saved the day,
are responsible for the lynchings
that take place in the south Every
ten or fifteen years some new rea-
sons have to be Matched up to ex-
cnse the lawless whites for murder
ing negroes, end when one excuse
il worn threadbare another must be
found. Thirty years ago or just
after the emancipation, the whites
organised Kluklux klans all over
the south and murdered thousands
OF innocent negroes on the pretext
that the negroes were gong to
have an uprising, that they were
going to burn up towns and make
the country flow with the blood of
whites, but years passed and no
uprising occurred. The consciences
of the people began to wake and
and condemn kluklux klans and
they apparently went out of e1-
istence. The murder of negroes
continued and the next excuse
brought forth for killing them was
that they were raping white women.
This lasted for several years until
lovers of justice, Law and order,
began to make investigations to see
who it was that was being raped.
1t was found that persons were
lynched for any cause or no cause
at all, and Christian civilization
began to condemn lynching. And
90 il seems now that Gov. Gambler
% trying TO find another excuse for
the lynchers that the lynching in
dnstry may not languish. In the
furtherance of his idea that the
soldier uniform is responsible for
the lynching mania and possibly |
for the purpose of disarm;ng the
negroes and rendering them less
capable and liable of protecting
themselves against q mob in case
they should decide to defend them
selves sometimes, he, the governor,
has disbanded all the negro SOL
diers of the state. The gentleman
whom the governor sent around to |
inspect the various companies in
the state felt constrained to CON-
pliment the negro soldiers on their |
appearance, their soldierly bearing !
and their knowledge of military J
tactics; bat in spite of this the
governor has seen fit to order the
disbandment of nearly all the
companies in the state, and we
suppose it Is only q matter of time
when We viii not have q angle

We bow to the inevitable and TO

SHALL THE SOUTH BE GIVEN
OVER TO 0UTI-AwRYp


Il would seem that Il Il about
time this question Wss concerning
the whole country. Il would sp-
pear from the frequent lynchings IN
the south that tkis diabolieal busi-
ness has become . pleasant pastime.
The southern press, the pulpit, the
officers OF the law and the COVER
nors al condemn them. But
nobody i ever punished for the
crimes. They are always COM
mitted BY parties unknown 10 the
jury. Perhaps some Of the lynch
ers compose the jury. Public con-
science win ere long wake up and
demand sincerity upon the part of
these officials and anti-lynchers.
The public viii not always believe
that these lynchers cannot be found
out.
The press very often gives such
minute descriptions of the lynchings
and lynched that it makes it impos-
siblefoF them to know 90 much with
out knowing some of the parties or
getting the information from one
Of them. These lynchers could be
hunted down and punished If these
anti-lynching sentiments were sin-
cere. There must ere long be
mighty awakening in the south
along the lines of Law and order. Il
is no defense for the south to point
out cases of outlawry in the north
In justification of her own crimes.
Then these lynchings are almost
always confined to negroes. The
white man of the south breads no
Law when it comes to furnishing
him for what he does to a negro.
He knows about what the verdict
of the jury viii be. As for the
gallows he does not dream of that.
The idea of hanging a white man
for the murder of q negro would be
IN objectionable disgrace to south
ern chivalry. This spirit of dis
elimination and travesty Of justice
has gone about far enough. IF it
il not stopped, it win produce q
race of murderer most fearful 10
contemplate. Rre long nobody's
life will Be safe. It Is right To
punish crimes regardless of who
commits them. Il 10 just to hang
murderer regardless of the race
to which they belong. Civilized
justice should know no race, color
or condition, or wealth or social
standing. An murderers are alike
and should be treated alike. Prog
ressivs oivilization must secure this
or the law il unmeaning and dis
honorable. These crimes are
obliged to rebound with furce and
fury upon the heads of the perpe-
trat0n.
The Palmetto lynching has Gre
6ted almost universal attention,
but what does It amount TOD No
body has been arrested, and We
doubt If anybody viii be. If any
body i arrested ne viii wager al |
Ne have or ever expect TO have that |
viii ever b convicted. Some
few wears ago two men were taken
from open court In the light Of day
and lynehed on the streets. No az
ret uas made. Two negroes in
Leesharg . abort while ago were
lynched and no arrest was made
We put no faith IN these protesta-
hons against lynching. If the
,oath wanted lynching stopped il
would be stopped. IL the federal
wanted il stopped Is
Eoald Be stopped. Our govern
nent stepped the craelties OF Spain.
Doubtless many lynchers enlisted

The Yellow river, which has been
named the Sorrow of China" is prob
ably the most destructive stream on
the face of the earth. In less than 100
years it has changed its channel four
times, and the point where 1t empties

Burglar and orang-outanr.

Some two years ago a retired Officer
of the merchant service, living in the

brought home an orang-outang from
Borneo. Since growing to it's full size
the brute is a terror to the meighbors.

shutting the animal in his bedroom be-
fore going out Nicholas Bargeve, alias
"the Devourer," had determined to
make a professional call at NJ. Duch~
esne's apartment with intent to burgle.
Now this illustrious character was UNI
aware that such a pet as the orang-
outang was tolerated in these particu-
lar rooms Consequently when the
burglar was suddenly pounced upon by
two hairy paws he was somewhat sur
prised, and his screams soon brought
help, with the result that NJ Bargeye
was drawn out of the room by his feet.
in a very ignominious fashion He was
taken to the infirmary, and It is re-
ported that he has gone mad and now
imagines himself to have been changed
into an ape.
