THE LATEST LYNCHING.

The horrible lynching of negro muir
derer in Kentucky surprising in the de-
tails of its savagery anything yet re-
corded Of the deeds of lynchers. Self
respecting and law abiding people can
not but condemn lynching, no matter
what the provocation. 1t is manifes-
tation of the remnant of savagery in
our natures. 1t testifies not so much
to our chivalry in the cause of the weak
and defenseless, or of our desire to have
crime meet punishment, as it does of
passionate anger and uncomfortable i'm
pulse to retaliate brutally.
OF course in the Kentucky case the
crime was a horrid one; SO indescrib-
able in its enormity that it shocks the
soul to even think of it. But this fact
cannot operate defensively for lynch
ing and lynchers. The mob that tor
tured the negro to death, mutilated his
body, inflicted upon him some Of the in
dignities and tortures with which he
did his helpless victim to death, and
visited shame upon her name, stood
for savagery, for revenge rather than
the justice and vengeance of the law.
1t knew we'll enough that the offender
would be punished, that he would soon
suffer death for his crime, but suffer
under the mandate and decree Of
court of the land. and be executed by
legal warrant. 1t had no fear of fail
ure of the law therefore; it was in
spired by no belief or suspicion that
the prisoner would escape. Hence the
mob's action was purely savage and
brutal. and therefore it disgraced our
civilization, shaned manhood and made
our land a soothing in the mouths of
strangers.
But when this is said 1t remains that

SEWAGE DISPOSAL.

The system of treating sewage pro-
posed by the late Colonel Waring has
been given a trial at Brentwood, N. III.
Professor Porter delivered a lecture
upon it the other evening before the
Massachusetts Institute Of Technology.
He likewise considered all other sys-
TENS of leading character. In the
Brentwood case the Warning system
worked, he said, admirably That is
the case of a city which has not a
stream Of water sufficient with which
to flush it's sewers. Under the Warning
system the sewage is run into spetic
tank and filter under the same roof. The
affluent is rendered colorless, odorless
and harmless, while the sludge proves
to be a better fertilizer than stable
manure. The city is so well satisfied
that it has adopted the system. This
will prove a decided blessing to num-
berless small cities, for there are many
SO situated that they cannot flush sew
ers except at great cost, and cannot
dispose of sewage except by artificial
process. The genius Of Waring seems
to have left a means that exactly fits
the case of towns low lying, with little
natural fall, and without an ample
stream Of water with which to flush
sewers and carry off the sewage.

The Richmond (Va.) Times" declares
South Carolina has for several years
been on a State Jag. 1t alleges that
the official Government is saturated
with whisky, and it is due to the dis
pensary law, which the Times" asserts
Is disgrace to the civilization of South
Carolina The dispensary law was en-
acted as a temperance measure. and
was designed to correct the abuses of
the liquor traffic but according to the
Times" Senator Tillman long ago tore
off that disguise by the declaration that
the real purpose was to furnish the
people with plenty of liquor, and to
make money for the State. In other
words, the State has gone into the
liquor business on its own account, and
traffics in the material welfare of its
people to, their injury. Any such sys-
tenn as that must in time come to be
honeycombed with rascality, fraud and
immortality. 1t is always inadvisable for
the State to engage in any business for
profit, but it is more than bad when it
monopolizes the business Of liquor SELL
ing, not to limit and restrict 1t, or
lessen it's evils, but to enlarge the trade
and the more demoralize the people for
the sake of the profits reaped.
