The Squire of VANTAGE.

An account of Richard Croker's status
among his rural neighbors at Vantage
England, has lately reached this country,
and suggests interesting thoughts. It is
said that he has acquired a high prestige
among the villagers by his Hberaiity in the
spending OF money and hts fair dealing.
He has improved the village by widening
and Strengthening roads, by extending q
picturesque wall and by providing seats for
the people under the trees In the meadows.
He has given the village boys permission to
bathe In his lake at certain hours and has
promised public fountain. It was not very
many months ago that this same Richard
Croker stood on the witness stand before
q New York investigating committee and.
In answer to q question n to his motives
in engaging In public enterprises. denantly
declared that he worked '.for his own
pocket all the time" He refused to cast
light upon the sources Of his wealth and
was willing thus TO permit tho inference
that those sources wera not susceptible OF
confident disclosure. So the American peo-
pie have good reason to feel that the funds
which he is spending 30 literally IN Ens-

of past period. have their origin In the

Tfllman and McLaurin.

From the Charleston Evening Post
It Is very clear that Ttllman is not yet
satisfied with his undertaking to dispose
of McI1aurin. He first tried batting his
colleague to resign and try the issue at
once, and he had his fish hooked but, for
tunateiy, McLauain, when he felt the barb,
managed to wriggle of. Then T9llman set
out to debar McLaurin by formulating a
pledge for candidates which should include
an Endorsement contained in the Kansas
City platform. or course, McLaurin
couldn't take such a pledge. but neither
would some others whom TiIlman wants
to keep in the ring. So Tfllman next tried
to push McLaurin out by resolution Of the
executive committee OF the party, and he
finds this has had a bad effect and can't
be worked advantageously. Then came the
political meetings at which 1t was hoped
to make show of overwhelming force
against McLaurin. The plan failed be-
cause McLaurin kept away and the crowds
wouldn't gather to hear the others. Mean
while McLaurin was drawing big audiences
by himself. T1llman has drawn of from
the field for a time, baffled and sullen but
he will come back with new plans OF at
tack. which win fail az the others have
failed II McLaurtn win only keep his head
level. stick to his text and avoid personal
contention.

Warm in Venezuela.

Indications would seem to point to warm
times ahead for Supreme Chief of the Re-
public Cipriano Castro of Venezuela. CO.
lcmbia having finished, for the time being,
With her revolution, is evidently of the opin-
ion that one good turn deserves another,
and Castro having lent an assortment Of
sympathy, guns and powder to the Colom-
bian revofutioniSts that government seems
ready now to perform the same neighborly
act for anybody who will undertake the
job of jolting the seat from under Castro.
In Venezuela there is seldom for any long
period a dearth of ambitious citizens burn
ing to emulate Napoleon, and take charge
of the republic, especially of the treasury.
President Castro has four or five such as
pirants in Jail now in different parts of
Venezuela Almost any dark night one of
these is liable to escape. In such a case
by o'clock in the morning a full-fedged
revolution would be grinding out procla-
nations. Also the late president of the
republic, Andrade, who was with so little
ceremony tossed off the throne by Castro,
is lowering, with the nucleus of navy In
the shape Of a small schooner, in close
striking distance of the coast. Besides
these known quantities the market reports
say that the 1901 crop of Venezuelan Ma
poleon aspirants. now ready for the mar

What Next After the Stake.

The future statistician who follows the
course OF the lynching evil In this country
will doubtless note a surprising increase In
the number of cases In which the stake has
been substituted for the moose in the als-
position OF the mob's victim. The first in
stance of this kind shocked the country
only few years ago, well within decade.
The very novelty OF the crime caused it to
be copied. and soon the record Of the year
included several burnings, and the next
season produced more. and so the roll has
grown until today lynching by the simple
process Of hanging attracts attention by its
fnfrequency.
Thus it is that the burning of prisoner
by a mob Is now almost the recognized.
manner of disposing Of a black man who
has committed assault upon a white
woman. What will come next? Win the
mob be satisfied with Its progression toward
sayagery and rest content with the crema-
tion of Its living victims? Or will It seek
new means OF punishment. more severe tor
tures? 1t win be difficult to devise methods
more brutal than the burning OF man
alive. Nothing more horrible than this was
done IN the middle ages In the name OF the
inquisition. Not even the Chinese process
OF infiicting death by the thousand cuts
Is worse. nor Is the trick Of some savage
tribes of burying prisoner alive up to the
neck near an ant hill and then allowing the
insects to torture the man until he dies
None of these refinements OF cruelty can be
considered as more shocking, more ex-
auisite in the infiiction of pain, than death
at the stake.
For 1t seems to be a question now not
merely OF putting a wretch out Of the way
but Of making his death so horrible as to
Brighten his kind from the possible commits
sion Of the same crime The example must
be made unmistakabie. It Is claimed In JUS
tihcation Of the stake. Hanging has not
checked the evil, and therefore the mob's
act must be given q more terrible meaning
In the eyes OF the black man. The answer
to this apology for the recent development
toward savagery Is that the stake has not
done more than the moose for the preserva-
tion OF the southern home. And lynching
has outgrown its original bounds as pro-
eeotor Of woman's honor. and now shoots

this mode of execution was originally re-

The remedy lies in another direction.
Some day the south will perhaps realize

The One-Man Power.

Senator Tillman addressed a large meet
ing I'm Pennsylvania last week and told the
people some wholesome truths about the
dangers and iniquities of the one-man
power in politics. He pointed out the ad-
vantages of q strong opposition party, and
expressed regret that the people OF that
state did not enjoy them. He had Mr.
Quay and his performances in mind, and
what he said was much to the point. Sure
ly no one can deny that public affairs In
Pennsylvania, owing to the easy exercise OF
Mr.. Quay's will. have been conducted to
the shame and injury OF the commonwealth
The present campaign in the state has Tor
its object the rebuke of the Quay methods
and the inauguration of an improved order
of things. and if what Mr.. Tillman said
on the subject on the occasion of his visit
shall assist in that work, he will have per-
formed an important public service.
But, strangely enough, Mr.. Tillman goes
frcm Pennsylvania straight home and ad-
dresses large crowd of his own canstitu-
ency In advocacy of the very thing he has
just reprobated to Mr. Quay's constituency.
The one-man power prevails in South Caro-
lima as in Pennsylvania. 1t is not the
same mans power. but it is quite as des-
potic in the one state in the other, and
many people believe that it Is equally
prejudicial to public interests and advance
ment in both states. Mr.. Wanamaker re-
bells in the one state and Is denounced as q
hypocrite and a renegade. Mr.. McLaurin
rebels in the other and meets a similar fate.
The one is accused of being a democrat.
the other of being a republican, in dis
guise. If Mr.. Quay can dispose of Mr..
Waramaker in such fashion he strengthens
his own boss-ship. Likewise If Mr.. Tillman
can induce the people of South Carolina to
accept his valuation of Mr.. McLaurin his
rule will be strengthened.
Mr.. Tillman tells the cotton manufac-
turers of South Carolina that they shall not
make slaves of their employees. He means
by this that if the operatives take the
same view of the cotton interests that the
mill owners do, and so record themselves
at the polls it will be sign that the op-
eratives have been bulldozed by their en-
plOyers; and in that event the mill owners
are in some way to be punished. In other
words. Mr.. Tilman reserves the right to
himself make slaves of the mill operatives
in South Carolina. They must vote as he
directs, or their employers will suffer con-
sequences which they must share.
Mr.. Tillman cares little about consistency,
but even his inconsistency is worth an oc-
casional examination. 1t shows, if nothing
else. how greatly South Carolina would
profit by change of political leadership.
