A few days ago the New York
Times requested Hon. Dan W.
Jones to give his opinion in re-
gard to lynching in the South
1t desired to ascertain the cause
OF these outrages and the remedy
therefor. Gov. Jones' reply was
as follows:
In my judgement, the so-called
delays in the administration Of
criminal law, so far as Arkansas
is concerned, have not been the
cause of the lynching of any per-
sons accused of crime. The
lynchings is this state have gen.
orally been in cases of rape, and
especially when the assault has
been made by a negro upon a
white woman.
This crime is so heinous and
revolving that all the laws in the
world, no matter how severe the
punishment or how speedy it's in
Fiction, can not, in my judgement,
prevent lynching when the &C.
cused falls into the hands of the
enraged mob.
can suggest no remedy, be-
cause there is none except the
cessation of the crime itself. Of
course, this is to be deplored, be-
cause it is always best that the
law should take it's regular
course, but as long as human
nature remains as it is the con-
ditions in this respect will not be
improved.

BOYS SEE THE POINT.

There are several thousand
boys and hundreds of men en-
gagged in st. Louis in a business
which brings a weekly profit Of
from $4,000 to $4,000. It's the
selling of daily papers. Hun
dreds Of families live comfortably
on the profits Of the sale of daily
newspapers.
In st. Louis the favorite news
paper with the boys is the Post
Dispatch, because it sells best.
An investigation has shown that
the boys sell more copies Of the
daily Post Dispatch than the
combined sales of the two other
English evening papers.
One Of the pleasures the boys
find in selling papers is they are
their "own boss" They come
and 60 when they please. While
many have regular corners and
newstands, others merely walk
the streets each having his own
peculiar way of "crying" out his
papers,

CHEAP LEGAL ADVICE.
A Man Who Believed in Paying q
Lawyer for His
Opinion.

The other day an old fellow slouched into
Attorney Oscar Kahn's office, on Legal row,
and introduced himself as Mr.. Smith, Jones,
Brown, or something, of neighboring coun-
ty. He said he wanted to consult lawyer,
and was accorded a seat and one of the at
torney's sweetest smiles.
He then explained that while he was away
from home the sheriff or some deputy had
attached his wife's sewing machine and
bureau for taxes. He didn't propose to
tolerate such imposition, he declared, and
came TO Paducah to consult a lawyer
about it.
What is the amount of taxes?" inquired
the lawyer.
"Lemme sea dollar and % cents was
the reply.
The lawyer could not conceal a smile, but
fastened to say: well, Mr.. Smith, if you
want my advice, it is to go back and settle
that small amount. 1t looks like the easiest
and best way out of it."
The old fellow thought moment, and re-
piled that he believed he would. Answering
he asked: How much do / owe you?"
"Oh, nothing, sir, was the reply. 81
won't charge you anything for little advice
like that"
"But allus pays fer whut git, and want
ter pay yer jes' the same"
ooh, that's all right; come in again some
time when you need advice on something
more important, and we'll square it then"

crossed in his newspaper Say, young fell
Ter | don't want this quarter. ] can't use

hold out his hand for his change, but paid
no other attention to the conductor.

red in the face, you can't pass no quarter

The mild man looked up and said: I'm
sorry, because you gave me that very quar-
ter yourself last night, and I've been laying
for you since. Well, give it here" He took
the quarter and gave the conductor a nickel.
As he took the quarter from the conductor
he suddenly dropped his newspaper and
gave a chuckle.
"Well, well!'' he exclaimed; "here's luck.
Bless me if that isn't an 1882 quarter with
IA stars and an arrow. It's worth $3.50.
He slipped it into his pocket with evidence
of much satisfaction.
A hungry-eyed man in the corner, who had
overheard the conversation, jumped up and
said to the conductor:

ARE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
WESTERN CANADA.

w. r. Milburn, John Holmes, NJ. r..
Dagger, +. u. Stetson, of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to its situa-
bility for farming, and the advantages
it offers to the agricultural immigrant
from the United States: "Ne came here
solely to look up improved farms and, if
suitable, to select such as pleased us
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts at all, though we believe
them to be very inviting Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Deloraine and towards
the Souris River in Manitoba. Our inn
pressions of all that region are in every
way satisfactory, and we have decided
| to go back to Iowa at once, and, having
disposed of our several interests there,
to return to Manitoba in the month of
March next, and effecting our purchase
of improved farms, which we find we
can do at reasonable rates, Immediately
begin farming. We are greatly pleased
with all that we have seen in that part
of Western Canada. The soil we find
to be more than equal to that of our
own country for wheat-growing, and
the other conditions of climate, schools,
markets, etc, are all that we could wish
| for.
ITO show what an energetic man can
do we may mention that we found one
such at Hartney who had rented farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds of the
returns as his share of the crop. When
he came to sell his own produce he
found that his two-thirds, when con-
verted into cash, was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and out, which he
accordingly did, and is now its owner.
It is our intention to induce as many of
our friends as possible, who are prac-
| teal farmers, to remove from Iowa to
this country, where we believe there is
a better future for the industrious man
than is now to be found anywhere on
this continent. We are well known in
our part of the State of Iowa, and we
invite correspondence from its resi-
dents in all parts with regard to this
region of Western Canada which we
have visited, and to which we intend to
return"
