New Orleans Times-Democrat.
There is not any manner of doubt but
that a fearful wrong was lone by a crowd
OF people from Mississippi City, Gulfport
and Biloxi when they lynchsd the two
negroes, Askew II Russ, yesterday
morning soon after midnight.
Not so much as a little OF evidence
pointed to the completely of two men in
the outrage and murder of Christina Win
terstein; but, on the contrary. every
vestige of testimony obtained or obtain
able pointed to the diabolical crime as
being the work of one man.

The Late Mrs. Gladstone.

Boston Herald.
The admiration of the late Mrs. Glad
stone for her distinguished husband was
something as sublime as it was beauti-
ful. Probably it was best illustrated by
her reply to the rector who called at
Hawarden once upon a time when the
Grand Old Man was yet in his prime, TO
condole with her or the death Of n near
and dear relative. The rector found Mrs.
Gladstone ready to receive him but Mr..
Gladstone remained upstairs in his cham
Der.
Let us remember" said the rector, in
conveying his condolences, that there is
always One above who is m evcrpresent
help in the time OF trouble auG affection"
or, yes" said Mrs. Gladstnns, "he is
detained with his shlutions. but he will
be down in a few moments. Pray wait
for him"

MIR. Thompson's Queer Philosophy.
New York Journal.
Mr.. N. F. Thompson, secretary of the
Southern Industrial Convention, does not
believe that labor has a right to organ-
ize. He suggests that labor unions be
prohibited by law.
Mr.. Thempson's official position renders
his u~tterances all the more silly. He
says:
Labor organizations are to-day the
greatest menace to this Government that
exists inside or outside the pale of our
national domain. Their influence for the
disruption and disorganization of society
is far more dangerous to the perpetuation
of our Government in its purity and pow
err than would be the hostile array on our
borders of the armies of the entire world
combined.
AS a remedy for these dire evils the
Thompsonian brain suggests the organi-
cation of employers in all lines of bust
ness. 1t calls for a law that will make
any killing OF PROSECUTING or Interfering
strikers justifable homicide, and declares
that strikes and boycotts should be made
a felony. both by national and State leg
~islation.
Imperial Thompson! Let US found a
hranS-Jorgensen kingdom at once. Let
us have a Thompson empire, with only
two classes-the men who run the trusts
and the men under the feet of the trusts
the men permitted by law to shoot.
and the men set forth by tho Thompson
law to be shot at-the men permitted to
incorporate a business and to close it at
pleasure, and the men working for a pit
lance who, under the Thompson law can
not quit when they want to.
One law fer the employer AND another
for the employed. Truly the world breeds
a queer philosopher now and then.

THE TRAINS OF THE CZAR AND
KAISER.

Very costly are the trains of modern
sovereigns, and even the beautiful and
commodious train of Queen Victoria,
which, by the bye, is kept in Brussels
when not in use, cannot be compared
in magnificence with that of the kaiser.
This cost nearly 100000, and consists
of II carriages, connected by corridors.
The drawing room car is superbly fur
nished and is hung with splendid gobelin
tapestry from one of the state apart
ments at the palace at Charlottenburg.
The nursery compartments are exqui-
sitely fitted up, and the sleeping apart
ments each have the luxury of a fixed
bath. The kitchen arrangements of
the imperial train are perfect, and the
kaiser has his travelling canteens of
glass, china, plate, ETC., so that every
thing is at hand for serving up the
most complicated repasts at a short
notice. When passing through a large
town in the course of a journey, the
Emperor William makes a point of
standing or sitting on high chair, so
that his faithful subjects may have an
opportunity of seeing him.
The Russian imperial train is a mar
vel of luxury, and the czarina's car is
quite a dream of beauty. In none Of
the older Russian palaces is luxury to
| be found equal to that which is exhib-
tied in the imperial train.
British visitors at st. Petersburg
often express establishment at the utter
lack of comfort and modern appliances
| in the sometimes gorgeously handsome
! suits of rooms occupied by the Rus
sian royal family when at home, and
the same thing appeared to have great
ly impressed the late President Faure
on the occasion of his visit to Russia.
1t is strange that such great luxury
should be INDUCED in by the royal FAM
| lily when travelling, as they are content
to do with such very poor accommoda-
| ton at home.

missionaries and native Christians.
might admit of his being named. He
has always been quite near the throne,
and especially very closely allied with
the empress dowager, sufficient proof
of imperial favor being the selection Of
his 14-year-old son to be the coming
emperor, thus bestowing upon him the
dignity of father to the heir apparent.
He will be man to reckon with in
any event, for the empress dowager
has thoroughly committed herself to
his guidance and would not readily cast
him off, even if there We're no other ties
and influences to bind him to the
throne.
The influence of such men as Prince
Tuan, unfortunately. has been exerted
toward the destruction of the empire
rather than in promoting it's prosper
| ity. Indeed, there have been reports of
his sinister designs upon the hapless
Kwang-su, nominal ruler by grace of
the empress dowager.
| A Mantchoo not to be overlooked is
Kang vi, a henchman of Tuan, who is
ready at all times to do his master S
bidding. He was a member of the
grand council of war at Peking during
the Japanese trouble and later was ap-
pointed president of the board of pun
| ishments. In this latter capacity he

found only in the central provinces. in
the real Cathay, or Flowery Kingdom.
A few of the Mantchoo generals, like
Sou, Ikotenga and Mich, have won To-
cal fame, but they are not likely to be
prominent in any affairs Of Importance
that presuppose familiarity with state
craft.
In the southern provinces there is
that notable triumvirate composed of
Ii Hung Chang, Chang Chi Tung and
Liu Kun vi, all viceroys who have
achieved regulations. Chang Chi Tung,.
famous for his iron and coal mines,
foundries, ETC., is the able viceroy Of
the two provinces of Hupeh and Human.
He is said to be honest, but weak, and
as he is even older than the great Lii,
is easily swayed by his friends and rel
atives. who have not his reputation for
probity. The third to be named, Liu
Kun VI, is viceroy over three provinces
and resides at Nankin. Like the other
two, he seems to be imbued with so
called reform ideas, but his character is
not strong enough to warrant the as
sumption that he would insist upon
them in the face of determined oppose
ton from the imperial court.
One Of the greatest names at present
standing forth is that of Sheng Taotai,
the director general of railways and
telegraphs. who resides at Shanghai.
It has been said of him that he has a
European head on Chinese shoulders,
for he is man of affairs, extremely
capable and comprehensive in his grasp
of public questions. He is also noted
for his capacity for grasping other
things, particularly lucre.
Because of his great wealth Sheng
has been called the "Cr9sus of China"
Like his compatriots mentioned above,
he is cultured and talented, fitted to
shine in diplomatic society and able to
assist in solving the perplexing prob
lens which will be presented to the in
ternational board at Picking.

has never been outside the limits of his
native province. Until the recent out
break caused the disruption of the roy
al household and his deposition by his
rival, Prince Tuan, he was commander
of the Picking field force charged with
the protection of the emperor and the
capital. He is about 60 years old, of
medium stature and is considered pru-
dent and sensible.
Yung Lu, another Mantchoo favor
ably regarded by the empress dowager,
was yet said to be opposed to
Prince Tuan in his operations against
the legations, and some years ago
he incurred the dispIeasure of the
emperor by ordering his chief Gu
much, who was recently reported to
have committed suicide. to be bas-
tinadoed. A man of force and inde-
pendence, Yung Lu rose rapidly in rank
through the various army grades until
he was appointed captain general of
the White Banners and made mem
Der of the -li-yamen, soon after
ward being promoted to be inspector
general at Picking and later lieutenant
general of the Yellow Banners. He was
appointed viceroy of Pe-chi-li and gen
eralissimo of the Chinese armies in 1898,
having in four years risen to some of
the highest positions by combination
