SOME BOwING APES.


Lord Earl Russell appeared before
the House of Lords few days ago
and plead guilty to the crime of big
amy and was sentenced to a term of
three months in a reformatory for
his crime. 1t appears that his lord
ship was once married in England,
but firing of her English ladyship,
he came to Nevada in the United
States and there cOurted and married
another woman, and thus commit
ted the crime of bigamy, and for
which any ordinary citizen would
have been sentenced to a long term
in the government penitentiary, but
his lordship boasting of royal blood
in his veins it served as a shield and
protection to him from imprison-
ment as other common mortals. The
trial was perhaps one of the most
farcical that has ever been written
on paper. With lot of pomp, POM
posity and aping gestures, his lord
ship appeared before his peers and
after making obeisance to first one
royal nuisance and then another,
and after the charge had been read
to him, and he made three more
bows, as did the reader, he plead
guilty and was sentenced to three
months in reformatory. No won
der the people Of England and other
royal governments look upon persons
with royal blood as their enemies
and as objects on which human hat
red should be concentrated, for they
are granted privileges that are un-
fair to the citizenship Of any coun-
try. Lord Russell should have been
sentenced to a prison cell, just the
same as a hod carrier would have
been, when it was found that he had
broken the law, and then if the prop
er officials saw fit to pardon him, do
so, but it was adding insult to injury
when the man was sent to a reforma-
tory, which is nothing more MOI
less than fashionable hotel, instead
Of being sent to dungeon as he de-
served, for he well knew when he
married his second wife that he was
violating the laws Of the land, moi
only of England, but of the United
States, and if he ever returns to the
United States he should be arrested
and sent to prison as other criminals
are.

ragged; they were simply insulted and
neither suffered any bodily injury.
Of course the mob was right for all
mobs. are right, especially when there
is a Negro in connection, but there
are more cases Of this kind than
there are where crime has been COM
mitted, and lynching seems to be the
most applicable punishment for such
criminals. As has often been said,
crimes committed by black men are
always more henious than the same
crimes committed by white men,
which is absolutely wrong. Crimes
should be looked upon as crims, re-
gardless of the person or the nation
ality that commits the crime, and
until our government learns to do
this, it will not be a perfect govern
ment, but will be one in which mob
ocracy instead of democracy will be
its corner stone. Both of the accus-
ed Negroes were discharged by the
committing justice.

CHURCHES IN COURT.


ColOred churches in court seem to
be rather common just now, and the
larger the church the deeper in court
it seems to be. According to a pa
per published in Memphis, Tennes-
see, the Beale Street Baptist Church,
is now practically in the hands of the
courts of that state, owing to the
fact that its members have been in a
constant row for the past five years
over the possession Of the property.
When the trouble began the mem
bership of the Beale Street Baptist
Church numbered 5000, but con-
slant jangling among themselves has
reduced the membership to 1877, and

The personal gift of Eli Vickers,
Of Douglas, Georgia, calls to mind
the donation recently made by Bob
Church, the noted Tennessee Negro
saloon keeper and real estate man,
for the benefit of the Confederate
reunion that was held in Memphis
some months ago. Though Mr..
Church had felt the iron hand of
slavery and though he had in many
ways felt the effects of the cruel war
that has been relentlessly waged
against the race to which he belongs
by the white citizens of Tennessee
and other Southern localities, yet he
unhesitatingly loosed the latch
strings of his purse and donated
81, 900 for the benefit and pleasure

change for the privilege Of using the

the value Of street franchises. His
proposition to use Broad street never
viii meet with approval, for it is the
one street to which Philadalphians
point with pride. A fifty-cent fare to
New York will not create one-half
as much interest as a three-cent fare

of thousands who use the trolley in

Hanna and Addlcks

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
There has been some talk since
Chairman and Senator Hanna foolish
ly stood forth as an fAddicks cham !
pion, to the effect that the administra
ticn would ignore the one Delaware
representative in Congress, who lis a
Regular Republican opposed to Ad-
dicks, and place the patronage Ct the
State in the hands of the Union Re-
publicans, as the Addicks faction isl
called. We do not believe there isl
in these rumOrs, because II ISL
simply incredible that the president
should lend his aid to a policy so Vi
c.ous and indefensible. The impression
may have got abroad that because Sem
atOr Hanna has announced himself as
an Addicks sympathizer he would cen
ltinue his pelnicious course which leads
straight to ruin for the Republican
panty in Delaware, and, on account Of
Chairman Hanna's position and au-
lthority in the national organization, to
disgrace for the whole Republican
lparty. The attempt by Senator Hanna
/ to show that the sturdy and honorable
/ Republicans of Delaware are the Obsti-
mate and perverse Delaware faction Is
ridiculous and impudent in the eX-
ltremo Addicks had votes in the Leg
islature of 1895. when Dupont had Is.

LET IT BE EXPLAINED

An act increasing the official BOND o.
the secretary of State TO $4,000.
An act requiring the secretary OF
state 10 make quarterly settlements
with the State treasurer
These two bills were introduced by
Senator Maull.
They passed both Houses.
They were not enrolled before the
Legislature adjourned.
The secretary Of State is an Addicks
man.
The enrolling clerk Of the Senate Is
an Addicks man.
Now these questions loom up promi-
nontly before the public eye;
Didn't Secretary OF state Layton
want his official bond increased?
Didn't Secretary Of State Layton
want to make quarterly settlements
with the State treasurer
Both bills should have become laws.
Since the general cooperation law went
into effect, many thousands of dollars
belonging to the State are paid to the
secretary Of State, and the bond he
gives for his official iidelhy is paltry.
Not only that, but he can keep the
money until he feds inclined TO turn
Ht- over to the State treasurer. These
are conditions which should not exist
and the public interest demands that
they be roctiied II is not right for q
secretary OF State to have the control
Of such large sums Of the peoples
money for an indefinite period, espe-
cially when his official bond is ridicu-
lously small in proportion
Some able lawyers assert that bills
OF public character which pass both
houses become laws oven if they are
not enrolled. We hope this contention
can be sustained, and that the two
bills in question viii be approved by
the governor and become operative at
once

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Should tlect Senators
e Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The regular session of the Nebraska
Legislature has only a few days more
of life, and If two United States sena-
tors are to be elected to the vacancies
now existing it must be done quickly.
The session opened January 1, and as
the balloting for senators began the
second Tuesday after organization over
two months have been spent in vain
to elect. The blame of course
rests with the Republicans, as they
have a majority in each branch CT the
Legislature and a majority Of nine on
Joint ballot. This deadlock is OF
more than ordinary importance, as IL
involves two seats in the Senate, and
with two seats now vacant from Della
ware it becomes highly desirable that
there shall be none from Nebraska un-
lhlled. The Republican majority in the
Senate seems ample. it Us true, but fu-
ltur5 events may make the decision ol
Important questions depend upon a
narrow margin. The Nebraska Re.
lpublleans should remember this, anC
without further wranglnig proceed tC
the election of two United States sen
ators. That is a Part of the duty FOL
which they were elected to the Legs
llature.

ltOrney-General II. II. Ward and Lieu
ltenant-Governor Cannon. The offer
was rejected, and the Addicks contin-
gent obsunately insisted that it should
be "Addicks or nobody" Further than
that, the Addicks contingent voted for
Addicks for both senatorial terms, and
prevented the election Of two senators.
Is II possible that Chairman Hanna is
not aware of the fruitless efforts made
to get Addicks to permit the election
of at least one senator and allow the
contest to rage about the other senator
ship, or did he, with full knowledge of
the facts, have the effrontery 10 charge
the DUPONT party with obstinacy?
What Efforts did Chairman Hanna
make to helpthe resp ctableRepublicans
in their tremendous struggle for the
integrity of their party or the homer
of their State?
The difficulty with Chairman Hanna
seems to be- if his statement of last
week represents his views, that he does
mo recognize the fact that principle
or q high sense Of duty may guide
men. He appears, from his cOnnec-
ltion with the Addicks case, to he a
very crude practical politician, and his
lespousal of the Add.clIs cause on the
ground of "eXpediency' should not oc-
lcasion much surprise provided only a
lmCmentary party advantage should ac-
,crue But, Chairman Hanna's connec-
ltion with the Delaware case has been
a sad piece of bungling from every
point Of view He has opposed the
cause Of good government and decent
politics by attacking their supporters
and aiding their enemies; he has in
spired by his aid and sympathy, con-
ltinugd persistence by party wreckers,
and by his unfortunate interference in
behalf of a ruinOus faction which
larouses the just Indignation of every
honorable Republican throughout the
Hand, he has contributed as much to
defeat the election of two Republican
senators as If his efforts had been di-
lrected to that end. The practice of eX-
lpediency has gone far enough. Even
chairman Hanna must now recognize
lif he does not applaud, the fact that
, the men Of Delaware" stand on prin-
ciple, and cannot be got to bulge
eithsr by the offer of collectOrships OF
ports or by rage or intimidation, and
that the respectable people and news
papers Of the United States stand with
them. We place no credence in the
,rumors that presidential patronage
will be used to support the Union Re.
ipublicans. Such a course would in
;volve the participation of the presi.
dent President Mckinley is not bounC
to interfere in this contest, but, if h'
should it is a gratuitous insult to hin
to assume that he would join Hanna
and Addicks in the policy of wreckinl
!. the Republican party OF Delaware
There is a large independent vote il
= Delaware in both parties. The Repub
hcans have stood by their party witt
the rarest devotion through "rainy ant
! dry weather." but if the administrator
= should permit Hanna TO give any fur
| lthcr aid to the Addicks faction,
} needs no prophet to forcsee that tn
o. State of Delaware will go Democrat
r for years to come. If Hanna, as wei
q as Addicks, could be eliminated froG

be all the better and stronger Neithe

NEBRASKA AND DELAWARE

Senator Hanna, chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, Is play
ing a big hand In Nebraska just now.
lie has ordered the deadlocked Logis-
lature there to elect two Republican
senators, because they vii. be needed
in Washington. National Committee
man Schneider. Of Nebraska, is in Lin
coin as his messenger.
He gathered the candidates In a room
and there read to them the command
lof the national chairman that they
must end the fight and allow the Re
publican party to reap the fruits of last
Falls victory. Two senators from Nc
braska are needed at Washington, he
wrote. and they must be elected.
Mr.. Schneider further informed the
candidates that a new caucus must be
at once held and several propositions
submitted One was that nominations
should be made by a majority vote;
II that failed. then a two-thirds rule
must be adopted
lie also told the candidates that they
must either do one of two things If
these plans failed to secure two nomi-
nations. One was that the low man
should be dropped on each successive
ballot until the process Of elimination
resulted in a nomination. The other
was that all candidates must withdraw
and release their pledged delegation.
The same message was later delivered
to conference of the legislators, which
met again last nifht. when the matter
was expected to be pushed through.
Only six more days remain Of the
session
Some time ago he professed to be
equally anxious to have two Republi-
can United States senators elected by
the Delaware Legislature, but he went
abcut it in a different way. His sole
idea seemed to be that he wanted two
Delaware senators. but that Addlcks
ought to be one Of them. All the pres
sure was brought on the Regular Re.
lpublicans TO consent to vote fer Ad.
dicks None of II was put on Addicki
to force him from the field to the enc
that an election might be accomplished
