lynchings are inspired by desire for
excitement and not by a sense of JUS
tice. This conclusion is more reason
able than the cure it proposes. While
it is DESTROYS of going on record in

lynchings are right" it advocates the
abolishing of the remainder by estab-
fishing public bull fights, cock fights,

says this Southern paper. THE nine

savage. The maintenance of the saw
age instinct is desirable. 1t means
masculinity. 1t means aggressive

other name for progressiveness." Ac-
cording to this logic, the South, which
has shown such an abundance of saw

must be the most progressive part of
the country.
FREDERIC HARRISON'S LETTER.
1t is unfortunate that England at
present has not statesmen of COM
handing influence in the liberal
party to voice its protests against the
course of the Salisbury Chamberlain
government in the Transvaal affair.
When Gladstone raised his voice
against the Bulgarian atrocities and
horror. England as well as Europe
listened. But at present something
like a moral paralysis seems to have
deadened English sympathies. 1t has
been left, therefore, not to states
man, but to a literary man, TO at
tempt the apparently hopeless task
of enabling the English TO see them
selves as the world sees them in
their iE-concealed haste to crush the
South African Republic and absorb
the Transvaal 1t is also pleasant to
hear one Englishman tel the naked
and scandalous truth about his cOun-
try as Harrison has done in his open
letter to Lord Salisbury.

that he could do other things besides

locals looked hopeless, indeed. Willie
