The daily grist of riots and lynching
news is varied by the announcement that
q mob of negroes at Marshalltown. Ia, is
pursuing four white rufians who had
killed an i~noffensive old colored man. Mobs
are always to be deprecated. but if they
must occur an occasional turning of the
tables would seem no more than fair.

A hundred Canadian militiamen who re-
fused to do their duty in a strike riot, be-
cause they sympathized with the strikers,
were marched through the streets of VAN
couver in disgrace. If the members of the
Manhattan police who encouraged rioting
against innocent negroes were similarly
treated there would be less rioting and
less sin across the river.

THE COLORED EDITORS.

The Afro-American Press Association,
lately in session in this city, is a nonparti-
san association, utilization with political
parties being specifically barred in its ar
ticles of organization. This being the case,
ministration which was introduced at the
Monday evening session, presumably as a
ruse of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES element,
was. of course, voted down. The dis
patches sent out from Indianapolis, both
by the Associated Press and the special
correspondents, conveyed the impression
that the majority of the editors in attend
ance are opposed to the administration.
That the vote on the resolution indicated
nothing of the kind must have been known
to the Associated Press correspondent, at
least, and it is doing great injustice to the
members of the convention TO so misrepre-
sent their action. That their vote was gov
erned by the technicality quoted and was
not an expression of their personal senti-
ments is proved by the fact hat fve-sixths
of the delegates yesterday voluntarily
signed a paper strongly indorsing as indi-
offered it to the Associated Press. There
was no attempt made by Republicans at
any time to capture the convention, as
was intimated in certain quarters. The
editors in attendance are intelligent men,
who know their own minds, and it was not
TO be expected that in view of the wrongs
lately suffered by their race in the South
ern States they could cherish a friendly
feeling toward the Democratic party; but
so far as Republicans were concerned the
~nonpartisan character of their gathering
was respected and they were left free to
take such course as seemed to them proper.

A SUFFERING FAMILY.
Destitution Reigns In Baldwin
 Street Household.

The attention of the selectmen has been called to the condition of John Shannahan and family of IS0 Baldwin street. where sickness and needed cir cumStanceS appear to hold high carni- val and unless a change for the better comes in the near future an effort will have to be made to get the patients into the hospital, something which it would be difficult to do owing to the fact that two of the children are in bed with scarlet fever and the father is hardly fit to be taken out of the house. One of the children died yesterday morning and was buried in the after noon. and it is question if the two that are still sick with the disease will live through it. The selectmen con slider it the worst case that has come to their notice in years and are willing to do anything they can to alleviate the suffering of the family, but they do not see how they can we'll be moved on account of the danger of spreading the sickness. The most they can do under the circumstances is to provide nourishment and medical attendance Father Curtin was cazed in Saturday night to give spiritual consolation to Mir Shannahan. and after looking at the condition of the place he at once notified the selectmen, something
 which some one in possession of the facts should have done long before.
 MT Shannahan has been sick for some
 time past with a complication of dis
 cases. and if anything is to be done to give him permanent relief it is thought that he should be sent to the hospital.s for it is his only hope. It is hard to think that such conditions should ob- | tain in a country teeming with full 1 and plenty. but such is the case. how l ever, and the one demanding attention 1 at inc present time is only sample 1 of the various cases of the kind that ] are being constantly brought to the
 notice of the authorities.

SHEA MSHIP FRI ND.
Meets With Accdent-Waterbur Mu-
 Sician on Board

This mornings New Haven Palladi- um has the following interesting story:
 Word has been received in this city of an accident to the steamship Fries land, of the Red Star line. which left New York for England on Wednesday, November '. On Thursday. Novem- Der 15. the boat lost it's steering appar- atus and for two days stood at a stand still in the trough of q heavy sea. The passengers became very much alarmed and much excitement prevailed on beard until a sister ship came to the rescue. There was a large number of Connecticut people on board. some Of whom are from New Haven, it is said. Among the passengers was Miss Belle Manross Sigourney of Water bury. Conn, who is very well known in this city. Miss Sigourney is an ac- compIished viOlinist and has many times played in this city at concerts of the Symphony orchestra and others. She sailed on the Friesland en route for Holland. where she will study for some time with a noted European in structOr in order to put some finishing touches on her talent. Miss Sigour- ney has studio in Waterbury. Dur | ing last summer she was at her fath- er.s home in Madison. Conn. She played several times at the Hotel Ham, mCnassett in that place at concerts. During the few days prior to her sail ing Miss Sigourney was the guest of Mr and Mrs Schneelock. who live on the corner of Norton and Elm streets in this city.
 On board the Friesland Miss Sig ourney has played at many of the con certs.
 A neculiar feature of the accident to the Friesland was that the boat had on board part of the passengers Of the St Louis. which had an accident.
