LYNCH LAW.

From the Boston Record
 We shall have nothing more to say in re- gard to the lynchings in the South. The deliberate, outdoor, midday burning of negro in Colorado yesterday puts an end to any discussion on that subject. Hence forth, the negro in this country who has committed murder can treat 1t as matter of good luck if he escapes the stake.

MT. Nell, the late expert, is trying to outside figures in September, namely, 9750000 bales, are now unattanable. This is due in fact to the drought in August and September, and to the frosts of the present month We give his estimate by States coos omitted

He thinks his estimate for Texas is ex- treme, and will not be met. lie says: "I think one-third of the State is making a crop beyond the highest average produc- tion the State ever made, possibly even reaching $50 pounds per acre. l think that half of the State is making a crop about equal to the average production of the State of the past ten years, say 22I12 pounds per acre, and l think the remainder of the State is not making on an average over one-third of the product per acre of the best third of the State. On this basis the crop of Texas and Indian Territory would be only 3, 600 bales, assuming the Texas acreage at per cent. over last year." He considers it fortunate that Tex as has done so well, for otherwise we should have a cotton famine indeed.

Russian Peasants Leading in the

(From the Chicago Chronicle.)

(From the Chicago Chronicle.)
1t is asserted by those who have lived
among them that the lowest types Of mod
ern European civilization are probably the
Russians. While writer's and travellers
vary as 10 the future of Russia, nearly all
are agreed as TO the utter degradation at
present OF the Russian peasant. He is al
ways on the verge OF starvation and is abb
solutely improvident. while his gross and
complete ignorance is combined with the
most extravagant superstition. Like all
low natures. he is thoroughly distrustful
of reform, and as a climax to his infirmi-
ties he is a confirmed drinker. Middle
class in Russia there is practically none.
