Talented Families.

The unmusical members of a musical
family will appreciate the following con-
versation, says London Tid-Bits.
DO you play any instrument, Mr..
Jimp?"
Yes, I'm a cornetist."
"And your sister?'
She's a pianist"
Does your mother play?"
She's a zitherist."
And your father?"
Hes a pessimist."
This reminds US of another fragment of
contemporary talk.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The New York Mail and Express (Rep)
Is one of the few Republican papers that,
recently, are taking a liberal view Of race
troubles. 1t says of the Akron, O., affair:
The city of Akron, o., has succeeded in
putting The South to the blush in the mat
ter Of lynch law detail A negro is sought
in Jail by a great mob, for an ATTEMPTED
crime of the customary class. Result.
public buildings damaged by fire. several
persons killed and a conSidera BILE number
wounded by bullets the community panic
stricken, the militia called from neighbour
ing towns for protection, and-the crimi-
nal all the while safely bestowed in Jail
many miles distant from the place where
he was sought. If anything more I'M
reasoning. more cruelty grstuitous than
this sanguinary performance has occurred
in recent years in the state of Ohio we do
not know of il. At this rate and not for
getting recent events in New York city
we may begin shortly to wonder whether
the country is not topsy-turvy, and the
Gulf of Mexico where the st. Lawrence
has been accustomed to tiow.'
The New York Evening Post Ind) thus
comments on the action of the mob at
Akron. o.: THE riot at Akron. O., last
night, following so closely the one in this
CITY ldSI Week. Is an impressive lllQSlT0-
ton Of the fact that human nature is much
the same at the North as at the South
and that race troubles would be quite as
serious here as there If the conditions
were the same in the two sections. We do
not recall a more determined attempt on
the part of a white mob to wreak sum-
mary vengeance upon black villain than
that which ragged for so any hours in the
little Ohio city, and eliminated in the de-
buildings by dynamite, after collisions be-
tween the crowd and the representatives
of the law, in which two innocent children
were Killed. 1t is evident that only the
precautions OF the authorities in rushing
the criminal out of town before the mob
was organized prevented one Of the worst
lynchings ever known in the North"
The New York World (Dem) says of the
Akron, o.. riot The two deplorable oe-
currences, however, may serve to impress
on the communities in which they took
place O lesson which seems to be needed
especially in Ohio-in passing judgement
on those Southern communities in which
the same mob spirit is occasionally in
famed by similar causes. With two such
outbreaks In the very centers OF thicky
populated intelligent and well-poiced
Northern cities 1t can no longer be ar
gued that the spirit OF lynch law is pecu-
larly a reproach to the people of the
Southern states. II It manifests itself more
frequently In those states IL is only be-
cause the exciting causes occur more fire.

A QUESTION OF HEALTH.

ID is too late this season to test in the
courts the question whether the city has
the power TO compel the owners of vacant
lots to cut and remove the weeds from
them. The city has no ordinance on the
subject at present, and would have to
pass one If it undertook to compel lot
owners to clear their lots of weeds. If
such an ordinance were passed no doubt
lot owners would resist the enforcement
of 1t. 1t might take months 90 get a final
decision of the matter.
In the meantime the weeds ought to be
removed The Health Officer says
they are a menace to the health of the
city That being the case there ought 20
be no hesitation in having the objection
able weeds removed.
1t seems that in other years their re-
moval has COST considerable money. II
is pretty safe 30 say that If the city
should advertise for bids for the work
It could get the weeds removed for much
less than it would cost it to remove them
with its own labor. Some of the farmers
Of the county who have moving machines
and teams would. doubtless. be active bid.

No risks should be run in the matter
Of the city's health Lots and premises
should be put in good sanitary condi-
ton for the early fall. IT is 40 be pre-
sumed that che sanitary inspectors are
attending closely to their duties and are
compelling compliance with the sanitary
ordinances. II they are not they ought
to be called 10 account at once. The
health OF the city Is matter OF prime
importance.

impossible to eclipse. The trial, convic-

of the negro Peck at that place for

fact that 1t is the testament of a multi
millionaire, is rather unsatisfactory and
embarrassing document 1t gives no def
mite insight into the actual value of the

az from $50, 100000 to $40 Co., though the
indications are that it is nearer the for
mer than the latter sum. The education
az and charitable institutions which were
expected to benefit from the late mill
ionaires estate, have been disinherited
so to speak, and the bulk of his property
seems TO have been left to his nephew
who is to take up his life work. True,
he gave 100000 to a negro college in
Virginia, and $4,000 to charitable in

Young Mr.. Hart, who is candidate
for prosecuting attorney, but who has
been filling the Office OF county superin-
tendcnt In Polk county the past four
years, says that fact has not prevented
him from pursuing the practice OF law
continuously during that time. II he
has practiced law during that time las
he claims he has) then he should either
have resigned his public Office or at least
have turned his salary and emoluments
back into the treasury OF Polk county
Furthermore, II he were an honest friend
OF the people he would have advocated
either the abolition Of the office or the
salary OF county superintendent. lie
did neither, but prefers To 20 on record
as having held the office aud drawn the
salary, and at the same time having
"praotioed law In the county, state and
federal courts" Since an attorney can
not practice law except under cortid-
cate from the state, this young man
comes very near having held two offices
at the sams time, aud no doubt worked
both for all there was In them. The
people have nearly enough Of this kind
