Too MANY we'll meaning people believe that the
inmate of prison is totally different Intellectually
from the general public whereas the fact u.s. that we
were once one of the public and many that are now
enjoying social prestige and are now passing con-
demnation upon will ere long be taking our places
in this house of detention No man is immune from
temptation, and even with the best resolve, in a
sense of self-defense man may so act as to cause
his legal degradation.

PRESIDENT MCkINLEY's annual message was
transmitted to both houses of Congress on the open
ing day.
The message is an able and exhaustive docu-
ment that gives evidence of careful preparation
though it's contents of nature his
torica than suggestive. In all it is lucid and
plete showing of the situations confronting the gov
eminent.
In the message the treaties made with foreign
countries reviewed. and the manner in which frc-
ton over the Alaska boundary prevented is CON-
mended. 1t recommends reduction of Internal
Revenue and the reorganization of the army. The
prevalence of mob rule is deplored It dwells upon
the Isthmian project. treaty with Spain is advo-
cated the policy of reciprocity upheld the broaden
ing Of commerce set forth as wise, and method of
dealing with the problem of trusts shown to be ne
cessary. The Chinese trouble is made leading fea-
ture and all the circumstances leading up to the
ent conditions stated He considers the govern
ment of China culpable to the violence at Pekin
and that the Boxers were encouraged and sustained
by officials high in authority. No rights are waived
He recommends that the China troubles be referred
to peace congress with authority to arbitrate in
case other settlement can be reached
While he dwells at length on the situation of the
Philippine islands, Cuba and Porto Rico, no mention
is made as to what the status of the people of the
Philippine islands is to be- what is to be done with
Cuba, or whether the people of Porto Rico should
be citizens subjects.
Withal the document shows confidence in the
future and satisfaction the past and is marked by
tone OF confidence that will very likely meet the
approval of the people.

The British lay the causes of their modification
and humiliation in South Africa largely to the want
of horses They claim that disasters could have
been avoided had their troops been properly mounted
During the early part of the war while the Beers
were perfectng their plans, British agents were
ranging both hemispheres to secure horses.
Horses are absolute necessity in war, and success
or failure depends largely whether an army is or
is not sufficiently supplied with them.

IT HAS come to be the case in several states of
the Union that when persons who are poor and
friendless accused of crime and many persons
believe them guilty, no law, statutory common is
necessary to be called into practice The Constitu-
ton is reegated aside the jury trial and presump
ton of innocence become of no account.
Scarcely month passes by without one of the
southern states showing up dastardly act, fol-
lowed by another more vainous, in which the
good citizens act openly and with mpunity. Even
public officials give up prisoners to the tender
cies of the mob with but feint at resistance.
This habit of disregarding the law has tend
ency to grow in frequency with each of
cason and if not called to halt it will mplant
in the minds Of the public feeling to regard all
laws as futile and unworthy of consideration. AS
the culprt in these instances is either in the hands
Of the law in the clutches Of pursuers there is no
shadow Of justification for not permitting
the law to be invoked in it's regular course.
Lynch law is never justifable; it is crime and
disgrace to the community. No good purpose is
effected, for it is wrong in spirit as in deed. I'm
der such practices man is safe; the most upright
citizen is subject to the passion of mob or the
multitude the real culprit
Law to command the respect of the public
should be enforced against the multitude quickly
and surely against the individual.
