Let up on COghlan.

What's the use in humiliating Cap
tain Coghlan, or Furnishing him by
reprimand, or pulling him off the ship
he commanded in the hell of fire and
shot at Manila, before it goes out of
commission?
What he said and did was said and
done on private occasion. Newspa-
per editors and writer's, members of
Congress and large per cent of
100000 Americans, have been say
ing and doing similar things for years
past-with abundant reason. Ten
thousand Americans are equally guilty
with Captain Coghlan. Hundreds of
naval officers have told similar things
in private. The private circle in which
Captain Coghlan was talking, and
which pressed him to recite "Hocb, der
KAISER" was only somewhat larger
than every naval officer has enter
tanned with private notes on the history
he has helped to make, and with the
incidents of naval life in time of war,
always full of thrilling interest. Ger
mans have not wasted politeness or
regard for feelings on Americans.
The United States has been, in Ger
many, the best abused nation on the
globe.
Evidence multiplies that Germany's
wicked finger has stirred up sedition
in the Philippines, that the lives lost,
the men wounded and manned, the
millions Of treasure expended in sub
DUNG the Filipino instruction, are
chargeable to German intrigue and to
German ammunition. Why should the
President, why should the naval de.
partment, to humor a conceited, mad.

TERRIBLE CYCLONE.

KIRKsvILLE, Mo-, April "a. "A gath
ering storm that had been threatening
all the afternoon, broke upon Kirksville
at six O'Clock tonight In all the fury of
acyclore. A path quarter of mile
vide vas cut through the eastern por-
ton OF the city. Four hundred build
ings, homes and mercantile houses,
we're leveled to the ground in scattered
ruins.
In the heavy rain that followed the
people who had escaped turned out to
rescue the injured. For two hours not
much was accomplished az all was con-
fusion, but by eight O'Clock twenty-five
dead bodies had been taken from the
ruins. 1t is confidently expected that
the list of dead will reach between fifty
and sixty, if it does not exceed that.
Almost thousand people were more
or less injured. Daylight will be neces-
sary before an adequate estimate of loss
of life and property can be had. Each
blanched face reports new calamity.
Intense darkness prevailed after the
cyclone struck and the rescuers were
at disadvantage for short time until
fire broke out in dozen places in the
ruins and shed light over the scene.
No attempts were made to extinguish
the fires, partly because the rescuers
had no time and partly because of the
need of light. On both sides of the
storms path the debris was piled high
and burned fercely. In all probability
a number of bodies have been inciner-
ated. The storm first struck the east
ern portion of the city near that part
occupied by the boarding. house of the
students of the American School of
Osteopathy, State Normal school and
McWard's Seminary. 1t was just sup
per time for the students and it is
thought very probable the list of dead
will be well filled with students as a
large number of these boarding houses
were demolished.
So far as known these three institu-
tons of learning escaped the path of
the cyclone. The storm then went to
the northwest and wiped out Patter-
sons nursery, pulling the trees out of
the ground and hurting them through
the city, A second burst of the storm
followed the first. 1t came as an inky
black cloud which covered the whole
town but passed above the houses do
ing no material damage.
Newton, Mo-, was in the track of the
storm. This town is forty miles north
west of Kirksville. Here thirty.seven
people were killed, and scores were
badly injured.

Lynching No Preventative.

Experience shows that lynching does
not prevent others from committing
this crime, and even the burning of the
wretches on several occasions has not
served to put an end TO these dastardly
outrages. If these resorts to violent
punishment had the desired effect,
even the sternest stickler for law and
order would scarcely protest against
them. But when they fail of the end
aimed at, what is accomplished by fol-
lowing the crime of the individual with
the lawlessness of mob? We know
it is not popular to talk of the cold pro-
cesses of law to men infamed with
passion and thirsting for revenge, but
we unhesitatingly affirm that the effect
upon the thousands who witnessed the
violent punishment of Hose and upon
the public would have been infinitely
greater and more wholesome if he had
been delivered to the law officers, duly
tried by an immediate session of the
proper court, and executed under the
law. So far as the prisoner is concern.
ed, the result would have been the
same; so far as the public is concerned,
the effect would have been helpful in
stead of demoralizing.- Augusta (Ga.)

UNCLE SAMUEL is again on the rag
ged edge by reason of the havoc au-
other of his naval servants is making
of his "relations" with his very dear
friend, Kaiser William of Germany.
This time it is Admiral Kautz. In a
letter to feminine cousin in Cincin-
natl, published in the RECORDS des-
patches on Wednesday, he sketched
the personal appearance of Malietoa
and his costume with the free hand
one might employ in the privacy of cor
respondence with an appreciative lady
relative. His reference to the Ger
mans was only trihe more diplomatic
than Captain Coghlan's in his recent
speech at the Union League reception
in New York. In this connection what
Mr.. Foster writes, in this issue of the
RECORD, goes to show that there is
suggestive unanimity among the Amer
leans, in the army and navy, in the
matter of the bearing and doings of the
Germans both at Manila and at Apia.

A Friendly View of Mr.. Reed.

Reed has accomplished his work as
Speaker of the United States House of
representatives., and can win no fresh
laurels there. His parliamentary ru-
ings have revolutionized business pro-
cedure in that body, and will be fol-
lowed in the future without question
He has often stood as bulwark against
extravaganza, and, while his arbitrary
methods have often done injustice,
their general effect has been favorable
to the public welfare WORCESTER Spy.

ARTHUR ROPES. General Editor.
Barbaric Conditions.

North and South Carolina were re-
Gently the scenes of barbarous out
breaks against the negroes. In times
not very remote horrible negro massa-
ores in these States have shocked the
country. A trial of the murderers of a
negro postmaster and members of his
family in the latter State resulted re-
Gently in a disagreement of the jury, in
the face of proof clear as the MONDAY
sun. In other parts of the South these
racial atrocities are every now and
then reminding the world of the semi
civilized condition existing in parts of
the South
The latest horror, or series of hor-
rors, is reported from Georgia. One
negro, guilty of outrage and murder, a
second merely accused of murder, and
a third simply charged with Directing
to lynching, have been violently put to
death, To killing without legal pro-
cess, on this occasion atrocities that
are associated with the early history of
the North American Indians, with the
the lowest conditions of savagery any
where and in any time, were committed
by white men, citizens of the Ameri-
can republic, in the closing years OF
the nineteenth century. The victims
we're tortured, their ears and fingers
cut off, kerosene poured over their
heads before committing them to the
flames, they were hacked with knives,
their bodies dismembered for relics.
Is there anything in the story of saw
age life, in any land or times, more
shocking than the deeds just now COM
mitted by civilized white men in Geor-
gia, and extenuated, if not openly JUS
tilted, by leading newspapers and by
prominent citizens?
1t is said that these barbarities are
committed sin the remote hill districts
where the people are clannish and I'M
schooled, where they are in minority
as to numbers, where they feel it al
most a duty to impress the colored peo-
pie with displays of force" But these
acts are tolerated in the cities, and ex-
tenuated by men who are schooled, who
are the leaders of the people and who
control affairs in the South. "The
black man." it is said, sis even more
ignorant and passionate than the poor
white, and when he gives way to
temptation he becomes, indeed, ter
ror to the community" This is singu-
lar logic. The white fend is often
terror to a community. The white man
has been his black brothers keeper.
He is probably the black 6ends proge-
nitor. He has probably been less re-
gardful of moral purity, when the vir-
tue and honor of colored women were
at stake, than the black beast whom he
has taught by his example to disregard
the cries and appeals of the white vic
tim of his brutal passions.
1t seems to be. in some large meas
ure, case of the coming home to roost
of very ill-omened brood of chickens.
The roost ought, at least, to be suffic-
iently considerate of the circumstances
to be content to kill the pupil under
forms of law, or to submit to amounting
with kerosene and to the pyre, to tor
ture, lynching, hacking and dismem-
berment at the hands of a black mob
so often as he is guilty of the offence
for which he holds his black brother in
crime 10 such terrible account.
