DECLINE OF JUDGELyNCu

Probably ninety-nine newspaper readers out of every hundred, if asked for their inn- pressions alt the end of 1899, would have said that they supposed there had been many more cases of lynching in this coun- try last year than in any previous twelve month. It is, therefore, a pleasant surprise to find that the statistics of the Chicago Tribune who has kept track of tfse figures for many years, can report that the record was really the smallest since 1885. There is one explanation of this apparent mystery which is not generally thought Sr. Public sentiment against lynching has been grow ing steadily throughout the country, and especially in the south, where the practice has been most common. The result is that the press gives much greater publscity to reports of all such outrages now than for merly, and 107 cases during 1899 cons5quent- ly attracted more notice than wo.M twice as many fifteen years ago.

BuiIdinu Cotton Mills.

Fast as the pace was in the old year in fhe building of cotton mills in the south, 1t promises to be exceeded this year; and the work will not be confined this year to the Carolinas and Georgia, but it will extend from end to end of the cotton belt. The Carolinas and Georgia, but it will extend CTS in new mill construction In South Car olina three new mill enterprises were started or chartered in the three first days of the year and the indications are very good that the aggregate of this year will constitute a new record. It has been estimated that nearly, if not quite, 2,000,O00 spindles will be installed in the south this year. Florida alone excepted, every ootton state will share this year in the great movement Texas, that now has but six mills, is striving to have many times that number. Arkansas is tagging, and Tennes- see is not planning many new cotton mills, but Texas. Louisiana Mississippi, Ala bama, Georgia and the two Carolinas are filled with mill projects.
 The effects of mill building Is readily seen in Georgia or in the Carolinas-the effects, We mean. upon the towns in which they are located. 'There are towns in Georgia" says the Montezuma. Ga., Record, 'ithat were almost dead towns, until some enter prising man suggested cotton factory as a remedy. Take Griffin as an illustration Before the advent of the manufacturing en- Herprise which struck the place, 1t was numbered as one of the dying towns of the state. See the change that has been brought about. Today the hum of cotton mill, and other machinery, makes music pleasant and delightful to the ear, excell- ing all other music, with perhaps the ex- ception of the chink of the dollars paid out to the hundreds of employees every Satur- day, making merchants and all others en- gagged in trade, wear happy smiles, and Griffin prosperous city"

HAM AND EGIe TANDARD

Geo. H. Benjamin in N. Y. Evening Post.
 MT Godkin's reference to the type of jorrnalism introduced by Mir. Bennett re- minds me of a conversation which took place in Paris some years ago between a new well known New York publisher and myself. After dinner we were seated on the balcony enjoying our cigars, when l asked him what he attributed his success as a newspaper man. He replied: T can best answer by telling you a story. When I reached America I had small knowledge of the ]gnglish language, and that was about all. Fin6ing that I could not ob- tain employment in New Ycrk city, I drift ed to Cincinnati, and there after many vicissitudes, l obtained the position of a waiter in a restaurant. It was good restaurant, and the bill of fare contained almost every article of food that could be desired. l was, however, surprised to note that eight-tenths of all the people that came into the restaurant called for ham and eggs, beefsteak or mutton chops. l many times suggested that they should try some of the entrees, game, or something of the kind. But no, the cry was Give us ham and eggs beefsteak or mutton chops. This puzzeed for time, but l soon made up my mind that the great mass of humanity did not think or know anything above the level of ham and eggs, beefsteak and mutton chops
 This fact impressed itself upon me, and when I finally drifted into journalism I made it a rule never to write an article or report an occurrence above the level of ham and eggs,' 'beefsteak and mutton chops Now" he added, If you will ex- anime the columns of certain papers pub lished in the city of New York and else- where throughout the country, you will find that they are ham and eggs beef steak and mutton chop" papers,

TnE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Interest Upon University Funds.

Among the demagogic declarations of the combine of strange political elements now engaged in defaming Alabama's great senator, not one exceeds in stupidity and aalevolence the assertion that tine interest rate on the ssOO.OOO of University funds held by the state should be reduced from to per cent.
 This sum of money accrued from the sale of lands donated by congress in 1s19 for the purpose of establishing and sus- tainlng "a seminary of learning" The legislature of the state established in 1875 the seminary of learning in question, call ing it the University of Alabama. We quote entire the fourth section Of the act of establishment:
 Be 1t further enacted, That the funds designated in section three the Uniyer- sity fund.-, consists of three hundred thou sand dollars, proceeds of the original grant of congress, deposited with the state of terest on which, at the rate of eight per cent per annum, the faith and credit of the state is forever pledged
 Whatever the power of the legislature may be, it is plain that the state cannot honorably withdraw its pledge to pay for ever the legal rate of interest upon the funds of the University held by the slate to the extent of three hundred thousand dollars. To ask the state to do otherwise is to ask the people of the state to do dishonorable act, involving repudiation and an open violation of faith and credit when acting collectively. There is no real anticipation of any such action by she leg islature; 1t is merely demagogic appeal addressed to the ignorant or the dishonest. It is a campaign cry containing an unus- ually large proportion of vlaness and base ness. It is, however, fully up to the gen. eral level of the anti-Morgan campaign.

TRIBUTE TO LAwTON

Franklin Matthews in Harper's Weekly.
 This summary has been made of Law tons genius by the military friend whom have quoted already and with eloquent force 1t marks the man:
 1.-The man of Fl Caney is the reincarna- ton of some shining, helmeted, giant warrior who fell upon the sands of Pa1es- tine in the First Crusade, with the red blood yelling over his corslet and his two- handed battle-sword shivered to the hilt The race type persists, unchanged in eye, in profile, in figure. It is the race which in all the centuries the Valkyrs have waited from the war decks-the white skinned race. which, drunk with the liquor of bat tie, reeled around the dragon standard at Senlac, which fought with Richard Gren- vile, which broke the Old Guard at Wa terloo, which rode up the slope at Bala- klava, which went down with the Cumber- land at Hampton Roads, which charged with Pickett at Gettysburg-the race of the trader, the fnancier, the statesman, the inventor, the colonizer, the creator, but before all, the fighter"

Andrew Carnegie and the FIau.

Andrew Carnegie of Skibo castle has at convictions may be of the mistaken sort, but whether they are sound or unsound pen, voice and pull. When MT Carnegie puts his foot down, he puts it down with a thud. and he does not care how much his wicked partners object, even the once near ly-martyred Prick.
 Mir Carnegie's trouble does not relate to Algerism, or the boggles and blunders of Santiago; it does not even relate to Eagan and canned roast beef; he does not even re- fer to the refusal to award him an armor plate contract on his own monopoly terms all these things he passes by in order to jump on the expansion policy. He wants the government to move out of the Philip pines, but what government this foreign born protestant wants there, is not stated; for assuredly some power would find an ex- cuse to enter in and gobble up more Or less of the archipelago. All that the million aire Scotchman occupant of the Skibo cas- tie wants at present Is the withdrawal from the islands of the Americans.
 And until this Is done not a cent of Car negie money is to go into the slush box of the esteemed Mr. Hanna-a box that held

Relief of LadYsmith.

General Whites ammunition and proba- bly, his food supplies, are sadly reduced and relief is becoming very imperative. He has 5000 men, and perhaps half as many non-combatants to feed. and he can not hold out much longer. He has at all times found an ample force at every sur rounding point; and yet it is well known that the Boers have, sixteen miles away, along the Tugela, a line seventeen miles long. This line may be thin in places but and there is continuous protection in the line.
 General Butler has perhaps S5,OOo men, but the fording of the river and frontal attack is a desperate measure, as General Butler has good reason to know. flank movement is one of great difficulty. No one perhaps ever had more difficult problem to solve-certainly none of the warriors of twenty-five or more years ago. for in those days smokeless powder and lcng-range rifles and machine guns were
  Wilderness a similar problem under old time conditionos and he backed from it, executing a flank movement that stayed his progress nearly year before Peters, burg.
 The failure of another forward move ment on the Tuge,a would rouse the Brit ish Lion to q supreme effort. It would, too demolisn what little reputation is left to General Butler. But at this distance it is not safe to say that a flank movement around a line seventeen miles long is feas- ihle. Dangerous as either method may be 1t is not believed that General Butler will sit still W'niie the Boers gobble up General White. It shoud be remembered that Gen. eral White at Ladysmith and General Bull Ter at the TuSela are in daily communica- tion by means of ene heliograph and pig eons and Kaffir runners.

ether disadvantage under which 1t Is con ceded the republicans will be placed as to the house in the forthcoming campaign is that the bulk of the party's organized effort. will be concentrated on the presidency. From these aspects of the situation the democrats are feeling very hopeful of win ming the next house by safe margin, The principle cause of anxiety over the matter is that the house of the Fifty-seventh con- gress will have as one of its chief duties the reapportionment of the congressional dis tricts. In general way it is known that if the democrats control the house the re- apportionment bill will increase the mem- bership of the body about eight or ten, while if the republicans control the mem- bership will be reduced ten or fifteen for the double purpose of cutting down southern representation in congress and proportion- ately curtailing the power of the south in the electoral college For this reason the congressional fight, it is expected, will rage fiercely all along the line in the next cam paign, and both parties will organize and equip their national congressional commit tees at a considerably earlier date this year than is usual. MT. Babcoek, of Wisconsin, it is generally conceded, will remain at the head of the republican committee but everyone appears to be completely in the dark as to who the democrats will put at the head of their forces. Among those most frequently spoken of for the position are MT. Richardson of Tennessee, MT Slay- den oe Texas, MT. Livingston of Georgia, and Senator Clay of the same state. The prize at stake in the house elections is of such far-reaching political importance that the managers of both parties are moving with the greatest possible caution in the se- lection of the man to direct the contest.
