Origin of Negro Lynching.

The indianapolis News discussing
the Colorado lynching, says:
This crime of killing negroes with
out law and by general consent, origina-
ting in the South, has long ago spread
throughout the country. 1t has hap
pened in other Northen states as it
has now happened in Colorado. There
is no race question in the North or in
the West, as there is in the South, yet
there are no confines to the spirit risen
i'm recent years, that in extreme cases
puts the negro outside the protection
of the law.
The "crime of killing without law and
by general consent" was far more com
mon in Indiana, and other States of its
group, than in the South before the
transformation and Generalization of
war, emancipation and reconstruction.
AS to these "extreme negro cases."
to discourse upon them as Originating
in the South" is not strictly consist
ent with a fact of history. 1t may
sound strangely, but it is none the less
truth of record, that negro lynching
Originated" in Colorado. There is a
certain volume of the reports of the
chronological bureau, in which the
tragic fate of the first negro that ever
set foot on American soil is related.
He was a servant of the celebrated
Spanish explorer, Coronado, who pen
etrated the American interior as far as
Nebraska, at the same period of Her
nandoDe Soto's discovery of the Missis-
sippi; near five hundred years ago. In
Colorado, Coronado found a tribe of
highly civilized Indians, with whom
he tarried on the friendiiest terms.
CATION of the Indians -Pueblos or
Moquis, probably-and informed that
1 his black man had been executed by
them; lynched we would call it, Sig
nifcantly indeed, he had committed
the same crime for which the negro
was burned in Colorado the other day.
In his stately Spanish, style Coronado
dismissed his callers, telling them that
they had served the negro right.
The first case of negro lynching of
which we ever heard-it was unknown,
as was the exceptional crime in slave
days-@as visited upon negro soldier
by the Federal officers of the Ship
Island garrison; shortly after the close
of the war. The negro had assaulted
the daughter of the Federal general
in command of that post, whose name
will occur to those of our readers
who recall the circumstance. Ii the
spirit" has risen in recent years, it is
because the offense avenged is of re-
cent growth. In it is to be found a
symptom of reversion to bestialities
of the aboriginal African, which the

Cotton seed Quotations.

In the remarks of President ]. M.
Parker, of the New Orleans Cotton Elk
change submitting to the members
the annual statement of the institution
I'VE find the following timely sugges-
ton:
1t is within the province of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange to take Off
cial cognizance of a matter of vital i'm
portance to every planter and has a
most direct bearing on the prosperity
Of the entire South. This refers to
furnishing official quotations of cotton
seed products, which equal in value at
least Is per cent. of the cotton crop.
Under existing conditions the farmer
lie at the mercy OF a monopoly which
grinds him down on the price for crude
cotton seed or arbitrarily advances the
price in certain localities in order to
crush out independent opposition.
That accomplished, the combine de
creases prices to the extreme limit
without any corresponding fiuctua-
tions in the value of oil, meal cake or
hulls. There is certainly parity in
value between these products and the
crude cotton seed, and by giving daily
Official quotations for the guidance OF
the planter this institution viii be the
pioneer In new field of usefulness
and Of great benefit to our agricultural
people.
The cotton seed mills deny the fact
Of much that is stated in President
Parker's statement. But his proposal
may be stripped bare Of argument,
without loss Of merit The quotations
suggested will be Of decided benefit
whether or not there is mill combine.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-The chief points
in the Presidents message submitted
to both houses of Congress are as fol-
lows:
Philippine legislation must be gener-
GUS, allowing natives much latitude in
home government.
Lynchings must stop and that they
be not tolerated.
Recommends payment of American
losses in Spanish wars.
Recommends the building of a
cable to the Hawaiian Islands.
Wants an army of one hundred
thousand men, fifteen thousand to be
native Filipinos.
Urges that trusts be restrained as
injurious, and claims them amenable
to Federal jurisdiction.
Asks that Federal courts be given
power to deal with lynchings Of for.
eigners.
Recommends new treaty on the Alas
ka boundary question,
The president urges q measure to
promote American shipping and trade
and trade reciprocity with foreign
states.
Nicaragua, he said, now shows dis
position to deal freely with the CANA
question, either In the way of negotia
lions with the United States or by tax
ing measures to promote the water
way.
He reports the sultan as yielding tc
American demands.
He commends the Buffalo exposi
tion and favors subsidies for the mer
chant marine.
He says the new constitution Of Gu
ba must be adequate to secure stable
orderly and free government.
In times Of great prosperity, the
message says, it is well to guard
against the danger of extravaganza in
expenditures. He has no doubts that
the representatives Of the people will
furnish ample and wise economy.
Let us always keep in mind" says
the President, "that the foundation Of
our government is liberty aud its SUI
pesstructnre IL peace"

the faculty OF perseverance,. He had
ell these things that every man would
like to have, but that nearly every
man lacks in some degree.
If.he smsssed fortune that yield

moment how much greater fortune he
amassed for sbe people OF the Uuited
States at large. Think OF the billions
Of dollars he made and saved TO the ma
ton. Think of the great states he ad-
ded to the republic. II we stop to con-
template what his work meant to the
United States, how trivial seem all
the petty snivelings about the little
that he kept for his own use out of all
that he made.
The story Of his railroad building
that is printed today gives a very good
idea OF his constructive work. How
ever, his accomplishments are so diff
ferent from those of any other man in
the history OF the world that he can
hardly be classed with any particular
group OF inventors. pioneers. or con-
querors. The work he did could have
been done only by Huntington. 1t
never presented itself TO any Of HE
predecessors, and It will never have to
be done again. The great highways
across the continent are his monu-
ments, and who could ask for better?

THAT QUARANTINE.

Friends of Dr.. Blunt in east Texas,
having read the ACCOM- to in the HER
AID of the fight that is being carried
on here against his outrageous quaran-
tine, resent the imputation that the
health officer is seeking notoriety more
than anything else. IL this is not the
doctors motive, upon him is the bur-
den Of proof. To US In FL Paso who
have been injured to the extent Of scores
of thousands of dollars by the main
tenance of this quarantine, the situa-
ton is very serious, and the way the
doctor has met the various protests
that have gore to him from here,
directly and Indirectly, shows that
thought of the Interests of Ell Psso, Q
Texas city lie the last that enters bis
head.
The talk OF the bubonic plague BE-
ing introduced into Texas is all Sosh.
There lie no quarantine in San Fran
cisco; strange that the city hss not
been wiped out by she plague before
this. Not another state Ia she union
has felt IL necessary to build q wall
around itself in order to keep out the
plague. And especially Is the quarsn-
tire farcical ard unjust when IL per-
mits some to enter and keeps others
out.

the people OF FL Paso any reason TO
believe that he 10 really looking after
our interest in this matter, IL might be
easier for US to bear the imposition.
But FL Psso is obliged to bear she
brunt Of the whole thing, while other
cities OF the state lose nothing. 1t is
