Compliments a Worthy officer.

The Arkansas Gazette, the lead
ing morning daily of our state cap
ital, pays this deserving compu-
ment to our worthy sheriff:
Sheriff Bickham of Miller county
is an officer who possesses grit and
determination. His courageous de
fance of the mob that demanded
an imprisond murderer for the pur-
pose of a lynchlng prevented the
plans of the mob being carried out
and cheated the truly pious people
of New England out of another
opportunity to point the finger of
reproach at ''benighted Arkansas"
In this particular case the crime
was an atrocious one. The negro
shot and simultaneously killed the
planters little daughter whom he
was holding in his arms. The mur
derer was seized by half a dozen
negroes and hurried to Texarkana
and placed in jail. Indignation in
he vicinity of the crime ran high
and a mob was formed to 90 to
Texarkanna and secure the negro.
Sheriff Bickham stood in the way;
there was no lynching and the law
will be enforcr d. Speedy Justice is
demanded and will, we confidently
believe, be Forthcoming at the
bands of the courts and juries in
Miller county.

~BARBARITY IN GEORGIA.

The latest case OF lynching in the South Is
the worst on record. and that is saying a
great deal. There have been occasional out
breaks Of mob violence in the North. always
accompanied with more or less defiance Of
law. There have been many more in the
South, some of them conspicuous for bru-
tality. One in South Carolina, the sus-
pected perpetrators Of which have just es-
capped conviction. the cruel killing Of a col
ored postmaster and his wife and child.
was particularly atrocious. But no case Of
mob violence that has ever occurred in a
Northern or in a Southern State, no re-
corded instance of savagery by American
Indians, no narrative Of the barbarous acts
of cannibals approaches in utter lack Of
human qualities and pure devilishness the
lynchings that have just taken place in
Georgia. To say that they are a disgrace
TO those who engaged in them, and TO the
communities and States in which they live
is putting it too mildly. They are a dis
ica itself. Mob violence and lynch law are
bad enough in any case. After all Is said
that can be said in mitigation they are
murder, and should be punished as such.
But even murder may be clothed with new
horrors by the barbarous manner in which
1t is perpetrated and the savage passions
which find vent in it's cruel details. No
provocation, no crime, whether clearly es-
tablished or not, could palliate such acts
as those Of the Georgia mob tina burned
the negro at Newman. AS to the other
negroes II Is extremely doubtful If they had
any connection with the original crime, but,
admitting that Hose was guilty OF the crime
imputed to him. public opinion and eternal
justice will say he was less of a brute and
monster than the better informed white
men who mutilated his quivering body
while it was burning at the stake and car
ried pieces of his flesh and bones away
with them to exhibit as trophies. Those
also kill who only stand and look. The peo-
pie who gazed at the preparation of these
s~avagries approvingly and TO whom the
CHASTITY relics were exhibited are as guilty
as the perpetrators themselves. Hereafter
the compiler of horrors need not search
the records Of frontier warfare or of canni-
bal tribes for material. He need not go
further back than next to the last year of
the nineteenth century, nor further away
than Georgia.

DEAD MANS ISLAND DISPUTE
Chicago Syndicate Not Permitted to
Work Its Canadian Concession.

VANCOUVER, April PA great seLsa-
ton was caused this morning by the aries
OF Theodore Ludgate. the representative of
Messrs. Stewart & Wells. CT Chicago. and
his workmen, who he took out TO Dead
Mans island to build a sawmill there.
Messrs. Stewart & Wells. the representa-
tives of a Chicago syndicate, obtained a
lease Of the island from the department of
militia at Ottawa. but the city claims the
island. Mayor Garden warned Lud-
gate that he would not be allowed 10
proceed with the work. Ludgate publicly
announced that he would start the work
OF clearing the island at Z o'clock this morn
ing. The mayor ordtled the police forces
out. and when the Chicago party arrived il
was warned off. The party persisted in
landing and were arrested as treSpaSSerS.
case will come up in Police Court this
afternoon. Mr.. Ludgate, in his public an
nouncement that work would be begun to-
day, said: If the policemen arrest the
men IL Will be a sorry day for Vancouver.
as L am instructed by Attorney General
Martin, OF British Columbia, that the island
Is mine by lease. and if the policemen try to
stop me they are trespassers, not l., and a
huge mass meeting will at once be called
of citizens who will request Mayor Garden
and the council to resign as misrepreSenting

FROM THE SOUTH SEAS.
Happenings I'm the Caroline islands
and I'm the L~adrones.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. April 2A-The
barkentine Ruth, from the South seas.
bings the news that on hearing of the cap
ture OF Manila the governor of Ponape.
one of the Carolines, ran his two gunboats
into the mangrove swamps and there they
were still lying when the Ruth sailed from
Ponape. The governor made a prisoner or
j. V. Melander, an American trader or
Kusaie and detained his vessel, loaded with
a cargo. Henry Nonanipi. a native, was also
seized and held as a hostage against harm
from the native tribes. Just before the Ruth
sailed Melander was released, the governor
telling him that his vessel had never been
seized.
1t is said that the German firm which
has control Of the Marshal and Gilbert
trade has advanced money and goods to
the beleagured Spanish governor. Repre-
sentatives OF the firm were working hard
TO get a mortgage on the Spanish lands.
This done. there would be a German trader
established at Ponape, another at Ruk and
a third at kusaie.
There was a big storm in kusaie on Jan.
10 which tore of about twenty-five miles or
the coral reef breakwater in the harbor.
The water rose eight feet. DESTROYED cocoa
missionary dwellings. The missionary
schooner Hiram Bingham, Captain Walkup.
sailed from kusaie Tor san Francisco feO-
19 and Captain Charleston, of the Ruth, ex-
pressed considerable surprise that she had
not arrived here long ago.
Ii is feared that r. ID. Ofkeefe, the
white king Of the sea-" has been lost with
all hands on a boat in which he started
from Ruk for St. David's island.
The Ruth brought back Captain West and
part Of the crew Of the wrecked whaling
bark Horatio. which went ashore on Jan.
q while trying TO enter the south harbor
OF Kusaie. The Horatio was a total wreck,
but no lives were lost and nearly everything
of value on board was saved.
j. Extrom, a South sea trader. and A.
@. Madden, a collector OF natural history
specimens. also came on the Ruth. Extrom
was recently obliged to remove to Guam
from the Island OF Ruk. as the natives
there were extremely quarrelsome.
The Ruth's passengers pronounce Guam a
land of great promise. They say that the
m are trying to get possession or
kusaie.
According to a trader on the Caroline
islands. who has arrived here. intense rival
~ exists among the missionaries on the
Island of Ruk. About ten years ago Rev.
Alfred Smelling was sent from Boston by
the Congregations board Of missionaries. A
few years later DIR. Price was ordered TO
relieve him. Smelling. il is stated. refused
to retire and continued 10 conduct an indie
pendent mission. Price was recently suc-
ceeded by Rev Luthers Thompson who in
turn is being opposed by Smelling. The lat
ter Is said TO be popular with the natives,
having most OF the chiefs on his side.

OPPOSING ~PlNGREElSM.
D%etroiters Asks Injunction Against
City Control of street Railways.

DETROIT, Mich, April PA committee
of sixty-two citizens, by their attorneys.
this afternoon filed a bill of complaint in
the Circuit Court. asking that Governor
Pingree and the other members Of the De-
troit street-railway commission. and the
city Of Detroit be temporarily and perpetu-
ally enjoined from taking any further steps
toward the purchase and operation of De-
troit's street railways under the Mcleod
act, authorizing the same. and asking that
the Mcleod act and all proceedings there
under be decreed TO be void. The bill makes
the objections that the special meeting OF
the Common Council, at which the street
railway commission was appointed. was not
called for that purpose: that the resolution
appointing the commission was disapproved
by the mayor, and that the Council took no
action on that disapproval. The complain
ants assert that the purchase of the roads
would increase the bonded indebtedness OF
the city beyond the limit permitted by its
charter.
The lie act is TO be decreed void be-
cause il authorizes the city 10 engage In
a work of internal Improvement. contrary
to the state Constitution, and confers on the
municipality powers which are neither local.
legislative nor administrative giving the
commissioners unrestrained power and au-
thority. in violation Of the city charter. as
well as the state Constitution. The COM
plant also asserts that the Governor OF the
State cannot legally act as street-railway
commissioned. A preliminary injunction will
doubtless be granted by the court. pending
a hearing.
No preliminary injunction was issued to-
day following fling of the bill OF complaint.
but II is expected that a temporary re-
straining order will be obtained from the
court, probably tomorrow. The street-rail-
way commissioners were simply served with
copies of the bill Of complaint and with
subpoenas for their appearance.
The Detroit street-railway commission
and Tom L. Johnson. manager OF the street.
railway properties, have disagreed over the
question Of appraisement OF the value Of the
franchises. Mr.. Johnson contends that the
franchise values should be based upon prob
able increase of patronage of the lines. This
the commissioners object 10, on the ground
that IL would give them no opportunity TO
reduce fares. Professor Bemis. the munich
pal ownership expert, who Is advising the
commission, is opposed 10 taking the roads
for the city at a price computed under Mr.
Johnson's theory. as he fears that munich
pal ownership, with 3-cent fares, would not
be a success If begun on such a basis OF
purchase.

The Symphony Orchestra Sociey will have
a little less than 500 in its treasury. at this.
the close of its third season. For two sea-
sons Mr.. Karl Schneider. who bore the en-
tire burden of the concerts. paid the deficit
pocket. A year ago ii was decided that this
was too much for him to do and the finan-
cial part of the concerts was taken in
charge by the Symphony Orchestra Society.
The officers and workers in the society
were all women. with the exception of Mr..
X. Boone Mckee, the business manager.
What the orchestra accomplished unsteady
the society did fnancially-that is, it
reached success. Mr.. Schneider again gave
al of his labor. freely. He brought the mu-
sicians together, selected the music and re-
hearsed il faithfully. presenting a series of
concerts at once interesting and pleasing.
He has all of the ability necessary for such
work, with a large amount of energy and
perseverance. Whatever this city has had of
an orchestra for three seasons has been
brought about entirely through Mr.. Schnei-
der's effort. Without him the city would
have been that much poorer, in an artistic
sense. 1t is TO be hoped that another season
Will see even greater success unsteady and
so much greater financially that Mr.. Schnei-
der may receive something more substantial
for his pains than the gratitude Of the
musical public. Each season has been better
than the one before. and the beginning thus
formed should result in a permanent or
chestra for the city-one which will be
worthy a place on the programmes of COM
ing May music festivals.
