but all the big framed pictures
that hang in various parts of the

Choose any picture at $3.50
or more and we'll take a third

coin county is republican, Does
the News wish to intimate that
only in republican community
are such outrages possible? 1t
would seem so, from the scare
head that sheet used to tell of the
political complexion of Lincoln
county. The News knows that
such affairs as the Porter
lynching are confined almost ex-
clusively to the negro hating com.
munities of the southern states,
where its democratic friends are
vastly in the majority, and it
could not resist the temptation 10

crimes sometimes happen in To-

1t again becomes necessary for
us to remind our delinquent SUD-
scribers that We are badly in need
of money, and that we will con-
slider it a special favor if they
will liquidate their indebtedness
at once. We can not send the
paper to people indefinitely with
out pay, and at the beginning of
the new year we shall drop every
name from our list whose owner
owes for more than one years
subscription. Besides We shall
make an effort to collect in some
manner the amount due. This is
a straight business proposition,
and we feel compelled to make it.
If our paper is not worth its
small subscription price subscrib-
ers are at liberty to pay up and
order it discontinued. If you are
delinquent please attend to the
matter at once.

Whatever opinions may be held
regarding the burning of the ne
gro by Colorado citizens, crit.
cism of the act comes with poer
grace from Governor Thomas of
that state. Had Governor Thorn.
as done his duty there would have
been no lynching. He was asked
to provide protection for the
prisoner, and either refused or
neglected to do so. The stain
rests more on the officials who
willfully failed TO do their duty
than upon the people who COM
mitted the act under the in fluence
Of powerful passions.-Omaha

In the race for United States
senator Governor Thomas seems
to be in the lead, with T. M. Pat.
terson a good second. Ex-Gov-
crnor Adams also claims to have
q considerable following. AS the
general assembly is composed of
republican to be elected, and of
the three men mentioned there is
but little choice. One would mis-
represent the state AS well a. an.

and quietly bide their time until
it il possible to send representa-.
tive men-men of integrity and
ability-to represent their state

In our issue of November 2 We
stated editorially that Attorney
Quitman Brown of Sterling had at
one time been disbarred from
practicing because of malprac-
tice. In this matter we were mis-
taken and in justice to the gentle
man and at his request We wish to
correct the impression conveyed
by the above mentioned article.
We are crcdltably informed that
Mr.. Brown was at one time sus-
pended from practice for con-.

malpractice. We trust that this

Official reports of tho vote cast
in nearly all Of the counties of
the state at the recent election
give Bryan a plurality Of 1896
votes; Orman a plurality Of 81, 646.
1t will thus be seen that Orman
ran more than 5000 votes behind
the national ticket. In 1896 Bry-
an carried the state by plurali-
ty of 10000 Two years ago
Thomas was elected governor by
q plurality of 10000. From these
figures it would seem that the re-
publicans won great victory in
Colorado this year, even If they
failed to carry the state.

The Lincoln County Outrage.

The Lincoln County Outrage.
The burning at the stake of the
negro Porter by a mob of Lincoln
county citizens last Friday night
was one of the most barbarous
outrages ever committed by so.
called civilized people. 1t would
have been . disgrace to any state,
more especially to any northern
state, where no race prejudice is
supposed to exist, and wherc il
is not absolutely necessary that
such horrld examples of punish
ment be furnished for protection
against future crimes. Indians
could not have conceived . more
horrid torture than was inflicted
upon Porter by the white men
who composed the mob. A week
had elapsed since Louise Frost,
. 12- year old school girl, had been
outraged and murdered BY the
bestial negro boy, and this should
have been time enough for the
people of Lincoln county to have
learned to subdue their passions.
Instead of this the lapse of time
seems only to have fixed them
more strongly in their determi-
nation to inaict torture upon q
fellow being. They were deter
mined to lower themselves to the
plane OF their victim-to prove to
the world that they were as cruel
and inhuman rs the black boy
they tortured to death.
We do not condone the death Of
Porter; no one will deny the fact
that he should have been killed,
but it is the manner of his taking
off that We condemn. Thanks to
q sentimental legislature the death
penalty has been erased from the
statute books of Colorado, and at
present there is no adequate pun-
ishment fixed by law for such
crimes ~ Porter confessed. Un-
der these circumstances it is not
TO be wondered at that the people
took the law into their own hands
and melted out the punishment
they decided to be just. But was
it Just? Are men ever justifiable
in practising brutalltya OF what
order of civilization would people
suppose men to be who would de-
liberately bind even the lowest
specimen of the brute creation to
an iron stake, build a fire about
him, stand about the funeral pyre
and watch their victim die, greet.

jestsa Would We not scpposa

people have cast . blot upon their
county and state which will 70.
