A HAsTY CRITICISM.

1t seems that the Chattanooga Times
was rather hasty in criticising the mill
owners of South Carolina. 1t based
its criticism on the understanding
that the mill men had entered into an
agreement not to employ union labor.
According to a dispatch in the Morn
ing News yesterday there is lacking
evidence that there is a combination
of mill men in South Carolina. In a
card Smith Whaley, one of the leading
cotton mill presidents, says that the
statement that he asserted that the
mill owners of the state had combined
to shut out union labor is without any
foundation. 1t is probable that il he
made any assertion of that kind he
spoke only for himself.
The South Carolina mill men appear
to be getting Into little trouble. There
is little strike at Columbia which
may spread ever the entire state, and
Senator Tillman is threatening them
with hostile legislation If they un-
dertake to coerce their mill hands.
Mr.. Tillman seems to be afraid that
the manufacturing interests will be
thrown against him and his following
in the campaign next year. 1t is prob
able that he has good ground for APP
prehension. AS far as can be observed
through the public prints the mill
owners are with Mr.. McLaurin.
But will the mill owners be able to
influence their employees to any APP
probable extent? 1t is doubtful. In
fact, there are no indications yet that
they want to. 1t would not be sur
prising. however. If the mill opera
tives should be in pretty close sympa-
thy with the mill owners in political
matters. If that is the case Senator
Tillman has made a mistake in SEEM
ing to threaten the mill men.
The small strike in four mills
at Columbia is due to the re-
fusal of the mill owners to give
their employees a holiday on Labor
Day. 1t is true the mill owners
raised no objection to their employees
attending Labor Day festivities, but
they told them that they would have
to make up the lost time. The opera
tives wouldn't agree TO this, and hence
the strike. Doubtless the trouble will
soon be adjusted. 1t is very rarely
that South Carolina mill men have
trouble with their operatives, but the
fact that both the Chattanooga Times
and Mr.. Tillman are jumping on them
may make them apprehensive of trou-
blous times.

TO WHAT is 1T DUEs

In an article published in last Tues
days New York Journal Mr.. Carroll
D. Wright, United States Commits
sioner of Labor, makes the statement
that the rich are all the while be-
coming richer, many more people than
formerly are growing rich, and the
poor are growing better off"
If this is a correct statement, there
does not seem to be any reason for
anybody to complain. The poor have
no right to complain. They are bet
ter off than ever before, and, as Mr..
Wright points out, "the poverty of
the present day is not the misery of
the past"
Great fortunes and the displays of
wealth no doubt excite the envy of
those who have to toll for their daily
bread-the envy of some, not all, be-
cause there are many who are reason
able enough to know that all cannot be
rich-but there ought not to be a great
deal of discomfort if the poor are
growing better off.
But to what are increasing riches of
the rich and the better condition of
the poor due? That is a question that
the public would like Mr.. Wright to
answer. 1t cannot be to competition
in transportation and the industries,
because competition is becoming more
and more limited all the time. Can
it be to the combinations that are be-
ing made? Mr.. Wright does not say
so, but 1t is worthy of notice that in
his article he calls attention to the fact
that while there are 1850 railroad cor
porations in this country they are
managed by about 500 corporations,
and that these 800 are controlled by
10 men. nearly all of whom live in
New York city.
II ten men control all of the rail-
roads of the country there cannot be
q great deal of competition in railroad
transportation. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that these men get together
and decide to maintain rates. 1t would
certainly be to their interests to do
So And it may be that 1t is because
competition is being eliminated to a
great extent that the rich are becom-
ing richer.
1t may be that for the same reason
the condition of the toilers is becom-
ing better, because there are as great
combinations Of labor as there are
of industries or of railroads.
Mr.. Wrights article suggests sew
eral lines of thought. to which those
who discuss such matters in the pub
lie prints may give some attention in
the near future.

Is THE LYNCHING SENTIMENT
CHANGING

There is evidently strong sentiment
against mob law in Wetumpka, Ala,
and in that vicinity. Otherwise the
conviction of white man for assist
ing in lynching a negro could not have
been obtained.
According to our dispatches yester-
day the name of the negro was Robert
White, and the name of the white man
is Howard The latter is 4 prominent
farmer and has influential friends in
his county. His influence, however,
could not save him from a verde. of
guilty.
The crime for which the negro was
lynched was murder--he was charged
with having killed a white man. The
young farmer, Howard, was convicted
of murder in the first degree, the pun
life. Six others who were indicted
with Howard will stand trial. Many
who participated in the lynching have
fed from the county.
An interesting question which pre-
sents itself in connection with this case
is this: Will there be anv more lynch
ings soon in that Alabama county in
which Howard was convicted? 1t is
safe to say there will not. If wo-
man We're to be assaulted by a negro
it is probable that her husband.
brother or other relative would kill the
brute If he could. but no mob, of
thousands would gather and assist in
hanging the criminal or in burning him
at the stake. They would be deferred
by the fate of the young farmer, How
ard. In that part of Alabama where
it has been demonstrated that there
is public sentiment enough to inforce
the law against aw-breakers, however
prominent they are, or however great
their number may be, il is not likely
there will be any more lynchlngs.
A couple of Sundays ago the Rev.
Quincy Ewing of Greeuville, Miss,
rector of the st. James Episcopal
Church of that city. preached power
full sermon against lynching-a sermon
which has been extensively copied and
commented upon. Among other recon-
mendations he made was one that the
Legislature of Mississippi should enact a
law providing that a fine should be
assessed against any county which per-
mitted a lynching within its borders
not a small fine, but a very heavy
one, such as every taxpayer would feel.
In his opinion, If the pockets of the
taxpayers were touched in a way TO
make the influential men of COM
munity think, there would be a public
sentiment there that would prevent
lynchings. The Rev. Mr.. Ewing made
a number of other recommendations,
but the foregoing was the most i'm
portant one.
Owing to the numerous lynchings re-
Gently there has been a great deal said
in respect to them and the best means
OF preventing them. It is evident that
unless something is done there will soon
be lynching every day in some part
of the country, and the lynchings will
not be alone for rape and murder.

Fertile In Excuses.

An elderly man, with ragged and
badly fitting clothes, a shutting gait,
rum besotted face covered with about
three days growth of beard. and with
a breath that indicated the close prox-
unity of a distillery, wandered into
downtown drug store the other morn
ing about l O'Clock, says the Washing
ton Star. The saloons had closed.
Staggering up to the drug clerk, he
leaned over the counter and remarked,
huskily:
Say. Willie. just fill that up with
alcohol. Ten cents worth, see?"
The ragged man produced whiskey
flask, and. passing a dime over to the
clerk. settled into near by chair with
a grunt of contentment.
"Aicohol, eh?" answered the clerk
what do you want it for? We're not
selling rum in this place"
The. ragged individual arose, and, go
ing over the clerk, observed, in what
was intended to be a highly injured
tone of voice:
Nov, youse, don't get gay wit me.
Rum? Who said anything about rum!
That Juice is goin' to me chain dish
around the block. I'm goin' to cook me
a grind, see? So chase along, me lad,
and produce the goods"
The clerk smiled, but nevertheless
filled the order.
That's the practice of those fellows
pretty generally" he said, after the
bum had departed. He has just made
a hot touch, and being unable to get
into a saloon, is going to drink the real
stuff We have ten or fifteen orders
for alcohol from his class every night.

could do a rushing business in that line.
The sable colored bootblacks in this vi

MIR. Morgan's Masterpiece.

In the art building at the Pan-Amer-
lean Exposition there is a splendid
painting of Shoshone Falls, by Thomas
Moran, says the Chicago Record Her
aid. 1t is not uncommon for people
who are capable of judging such mat
ters to declare that this is the finest
painting in the whole collection. One
can almost feel the spray upon his
face as he looks at the picture.
On a certain day not many weeks
ago two women and a man from Chi
cago who were doing the exposition
entered the art building and began
looking around. The women-both
e-aged-sparkled in jewels and
the mans appearance indicated that
he was getting along very we'll in a
business way.

one of the women: when the world S

about these expositions is that they
help art so much. OF course, us peo-
pie that have a chance to travel and

ing at Moran's splendid canvas: II
should think they'd know better than
to put up such a thing as that, and
this so near that everybody can go

Chicago's Modern Prophet of Zion
must pay taxes. His name is John AL
exander Dowie. and within the last few
years he has accumulated a very large
amount of property in one of the sub
urbs of the Windy City. Last year he
was taxed for $4,000 worth of property.
This year the assessors notified MIN TO
appear and return his property. He
paid no attention to the notice. The as
SCISSORS therefore assessed him for $780,
900, and though it is said that his
property is worth a great deal more
Probably the reason he remained away
was that he was satisfied that the as
sessment would be less than If he gave
in full list of his holdings. He is a
