A NATIONAL DISGRACE.

Even admitting that the crimes COM
mitted by the negroes in the south are
generally of a reyofting character, yet
that is no excuse for white men, who
boast of their civilization and love of
Justice, acting the part of fends and
outraging every law human and divine.
When we read in the tales of the border
OF the atrocities perpetrated by savages
upon their white prisoners we naturally
feel Mortified, but We are inclined to
excuse the savage because of his ignor-
ance of civilized customs. 1t is differ
ent, however, when white men descend
to the level of the savage, even Guido
him in acts of cruelty, as the men-if
we may call them such-did who put
to death the three negroes in Georgia a
few days ago. No more barbarous act
was ever committed than the killing of
the murderer of Crawford; no more
hlood-curd.ing story ever WAS written
than the description of his death. In
the language of Robert Ingersoll we
ask: care the white people insane :?
Has mercy fed to beasts? ?"
Surely the government of the great
state of Georgia should be able TO pro-
tect the lives of its citizens, should be
strong enough to guarantee one accused
fair trial, and fearless enough to pun
ish the guilty no matter whether white
or black. If not, it should confess that
statehood is failure and vote itself out
Of existence. Such crimes as those re-
Gently committed in the state are blot,
not only upon it, but they bring deep
est disgrace upon the nation as whole,
and may well cause foreigners to qucs-
ton our fitness to undertake the ciyili-
zation of other people.

Mr.. Murpnv's methods are not those
of the ordinary temperance agitator
lie recognizes individual rights, and
seeks only to accomplish the end he
has in view by appealing to the reason
of his hearers, by persuasion. He well
knows that if people would not drink
lntoxicants there would he no saloons,
no drunkards, and less poverty, misery
and wretchedness in the world He
shows the drinker the error of his WAYS
and asks HIM for his own sake, for the
sake of those depending upon him. for
the sal-e of society, to cease drinking,
To sign the pledge, and be a man once
more. Man, he we'll knows, is stub
born creature; you can coax him, but
YOU cannot drive him. \ couplot Of
the old song:
Speak gently. it is better far
To rule bv love than fear:
peak gently, let not harsh words mar

We welcome Mr.. Murphy to our
midst and we sincerely trust his labors
here will be fruitful of lasting good to
the community.

ration OF the railway. In other words,
| the permission obtained by the com
panv to use the public streets for private
| profit has been capitalized at Sl70, 1000
| 900. So valuable are the franchises that
every share of stock issued upon the
different roads is selling at from $40 to
| $500 per share. Some ofihe shares cost
their original holders $40 per share,
some nothing, having been given away
as bonus to the bondholders.
The authorized s45 ,OOO,O 900 of Metro
politan stock now sells at $3.50 per share
showing profit of 800 600 900 through,
the use of a public franchise in about
six wears. And this amount represents
what the people of New York have
lost in that time by granting the fran
chise in perpetuity to company, to
say nothing of the countless millions
they will lose in years to come, through
the granting of this and other fran
chises.
Not only this, but with stocks and
$50 outstanding, the Metropolitan com
pany paid last year the sum of S552, S56
as ITS total contribution TO the public
taxes, both city and state. Less than
one-quarter Of l per cent, of the market
value of its securities, Thus the more
the corporations are given the more
they steal.
What the people lose by their own
criminal shortsIghtedhess in granting
franchises is easily seen when its shown,
az it easily can be, that the profits de-
rived by the city from the management
of street railways and other public
utilities would have been more per year
than the total expense of city govern
ment. In other words, they could have
had free water, free light, free fire and
police protection, free baths, and other
things for which they are now taxed.
They have chosen, however, to hand
themselves over to the mercy of the
corporations, at the bidding of the
Crokers and the Platts; are content to
give up what rightfully belong to them
and their children to the most corrupt
and rapacious organizations that ever
cursed a civilized community. Why
talk about the ignorance of the Chinese
and the rottenness of Turkey when the
government of the great city of New
York is today scandal to America.
And the history of New York is fast
becoming the history of other great
American cities. Even Superior would
seem to be following in their footsteps
When will the people be true to
themselves. When will they cease to
rivet shackles upon their limbs and up
on the limbs of posterity.

ABLOw AT THE HEAD OF THE LAKES
Anything affects one way or the other
the business of the head of the lakes,
is OF vital interest to us, particularly
our shipping, as upon that our prosper

the rates of marine insurance by the old

serious blow TO Superior. AS it was

back sufficient coal to supply the

lakes. Over three millions OF bushels
of grain were shipped from here be-
tween December lst and 18th last year,
and over 10. 900 tons of coal received
so tirat it is easy to see what the short
ening of the season means to us We
want, of course, more elevators and
more ships, but we can scarcely expect
to get more ships if the possibilities Of
shipowners making any money are to
he reduced by the shortening of the
season and an increase in the rates of
insurance. The longer the season is the
better for US, as the trade of the head

it requires all the time possible to meet
