The Truth About Lynching.

Washington Post:
 Recent events in Alabama are worthy the attention of our Northern friends who are so concerned about the 'harbarous Cruelties" visited upon a certain class of negro criminals in the South, IL Is al ways necessary to dwell upon such in stances as these we have in mind bs- cause the philanthrCpists In this part of the country. while they sec every lynch ing without fall. are rather dsposed to overlook the efforts of law-ahiding men to uphold the majesty of the law Ef- forts are made, nevertheless efforts att tended by more risk than lectures in Eafe places are perhaps aware of-and not seldom success Ia achieved only at the cost of bloodshed.
 Less than two weeks ago. for example, Hon John Pelham Circuit Jude Tn the northern part of Alabama. State. not a Federal official. assisted hy Solicitor Coleman and the Sheriff of St. Clair County. held at bay aH infuriated mob bent upon lynchlng a negro who had been found guilty of the objectionable crime. In the heart of mountain district and heset by desperate and fearless men, Judge Pelham with the help of a handful of volunteers, beat back the would-he lynchers. He asked fer no militia. He took his life in his hand and saved the negro from a violent and lawless death. It was not done easily. as may be be- lieved by any one acquainted with the

Iher prose cutson of their bloody plans. Two or three had been killed out igat and sey-. eral others wounded when they reached the conclusion that the law and order had indomitable protectors for that ccasion, at least, and that submission was the wiser and better course.
 Still more recently, in the case Of lynching actually accomplished witnin fifty miles of the Capital of the State. Montgomery, a leader has already been sent to prison for lite' two oI ms coad, years, and another Is on trial with every prospect of receiving similar punishment
 The trouble with the South's critics and aecusers Is that they ignore occurrences nf this kind, although there are many of which they might readily inform them selves and concentrate their energies in denuneiation of the lynchings which are not prevented. As matter of fact. low ever, these mob executions take place very often at the North, especially in such States as Ohio. Indiana and Kan sas-much Cftcncr than at the South.

Northern people who write and deelair1 on this su.Ject. always with the South tIu pcOIIlc dB tneH need to strengthen their position at the earliest possible moment. First, they should keep careful account of the Northern lynchings. wtn. view to odi, GUS comparisons. Secondly. they should make an estimate of the efforts made by the two sections to prevent this kind of violence, and the character Of punish. 1T ent inflicted where prevention has not been possible. It Is our opinion that the South will mako very favorable show ing in this respect as entrusted with the North. and that a great many gentlemen now complacently engaged in reproach- ing their Southern fellow-citizens will find that they have profitable employ ment for any amount of such eloouence at home.
 There is just one remedy for lynchinS and it Is idle to talk of any other. The communities that are victims of one par ticular crime must be taught-not by rrecept but by unvarying example-that such outrages will be promptly, certain. ly and terribly. avenged through the agencies of justice.

A wEAK ARcUmENr.

The Philadelphia Record has of late been declaining somewhat vigorously about what 1t calls "ths fragrant viola ton of the spirit of our American pol ity," as shown by the laws excluding Chinese from this country. It argues that after elevating the colored race in this country to sll the rights of citizen ship there is 'indefensible inconsistency in attempting to fence out of the country people of far higher civilization"
 It does look inconsistent. for a fact, but The Record should keep in mind the old adage that two wrongs do not make one right" The elevation of the negro was a grievous wrong. and the country has not yet recovered from the effects of that wrong. and probably never will re- cover. There cannot, however, be any excuse for taking that wrong as a pre- cedent to be followed and adding to our already crowded inferior population an alien race which in many respects is little better than the African. It is quite true that the Chinese have probably the oldest civilization. or semi-civiiisation, of any nation now in existence and 1t is pos sible that they have the most ancient government on the. face of the globe. but that isn't admitting that they are such people as we should welcome as citizens, or that they should be encouraged to come among us. If the United States should open it's doors to the Chinese they would come over in such numbers as can only be compared to the swarms of locusts which sometimes devastate the growing crops. and would be equally hurtful.

MoBILE,s PRoaRFss

All Alabamians feel just pride in Mo- bile. and are always gratified to note evil dences of it's growth and advancement Those who read The Mobile Register of 2d inst. certainly found much to increase the usual feelings of gratification for on nearly every page and line there Is a record of some improvement of a com mercial or industrial character. The vol tune of business done. for the preceding year in every department Of business was greater than the year before, except In cotton, and that was due to short crop In the territory tributary to Mobile and not to diversion of any of it's trade to other points. The increase in export trade Is very marked. especially to Cuba and Gen. tral and South America. Her trade with Cuba is far ahead of that of New Or leans and is only equaled by New York. The Register says:
 Another fact recorded Is that, whereas Central and South American business was formerly but small fraction of our trade as compared with the traoe to Europe, we now do larger business with those trade exhibits some effect of tlle dulneas in foreign markets, but still is a large gainer over two years ago, and maintains practically its record of last year. No ac- count is here taken of the domestic trade
 
 showing shipments by rail are not ob- tainabls, but both lumbermen and rail- road men say that there has been T large increase in such shipments a fact that Is supported by the poundage statements of the Louisville and Nashville and the Mobile and Ohio railroads much of the freight forwarded from here by these roads being lumber. We are Justified, therefore, in saying that the woods trade shows continued increase.
 Everything goes to show that a great future and not so very far distant is ahead of Mobile. The railroad a1vant- ages are there and with the improved channel that is being constantly bettered and the mighty coal fleets that will soon make their way do ~n the Warrior and the Bigbee she will sit calmly and serenely on her throne as the Queen of the Gulf" While Mobile is to be congratulated on her constant advance the old and reliable Register is everywhere recognized as one of the chief factors In her upbuilding.

HEARING FROM ANDREE.

Just as we were wondering at the ab- sence of any news from Andree we find a dispatch in The Chicago Tribune which may mean something and it may be a fake. It is the report made by party of men who had just returned from a trading trip In the Hudsons Bay country. and may have some connection with the fate of the missing explorer. The report reads:
 At Moose Factory. a Hudson Bay trad ing post at the mouth of Moose River. the seven men stationed there reported that party of Indians. who came down from the far North last spring told of finding the bodies of two white men north of Moose Factory. The story of the In- dians was that the bodies were found in a broken basket, their description of which seemed to indicate basket of a balloon, and that the bodies had been buried by Indians. The Indians brought nothing in support of their story. but the men at Moose Factory, Cobb and Shields say, were inclined to believe the tale.
 Nine hundred miles north of Moose Factory would be somewhere in the re- zion of Great Slave Lake. in the North western Territory. and 1t would seem that there ought to be no diff1culty about getting definite information from that point. unless the season Is already too far advanced There have been so many false reports relative to Andree and his probable fate that no one can be blamed for being sceptical when such a report or rumor Is published, but for all that they attia attention. People are always at- tracted by the strange, unusual or mys- terious. and of course all civilized people feel an interest and sympathy in the brave explorer who practically cut him. self loose from the world and from tu- manity and started on q search for that unknown and mysterious region of which so much has been said aSd nothing known, and which has already cost the lives of so many brave men.
 AS we have said, 1t ought not to be an impossible feat to investigate this latest report fully and speedily. The reported find is within the bounds of civilization, and even if winter has already faHen on those far Northern regions there are so many methods of Arctic travel and ex- ploration at this day that there should be no insurmountable difficulty in the way of systematies investigation of the rDmor. Possibly 1t Is another canard. but there is still a possibility that 1t Is true.

INDIGESTION.

Many things you fear about yOzr stOm- ach cannot be true. If yea have had in- digestion or dyspepsia for years it Is na- tural to believe that the stomach itself IS diseased. It is only the functions of the stomach that are impaired. This Is the whole trouble in a vast majority of cases and the proof can be had by trying Dr. Har;er's Iron Tonic
 Your stomach has many things to do, and failure to do any one of them leads to imperfect digestion. The stomach gets It's nutriment and its digestive fluids from the blood. If the blood Is Impure or lacks the rsht proportion of strength producing Iron, the whole body suffers from a kind of breaking down process
 To restore health you must start at th. source of life itself-the blood-snd through that vital fluid build up the stom- ach and other vital organs.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has curaA tho,, sands of cases or indigestion and dvsnan- sia every year for the past fortv-6I,. years It is the one remedy you can ,aI.s with certainty Of immediate improvernan, and sure cure.
 It Is prepared with scientific accnrac, and many eminent physicians prescribe {, constantly. Faithful use of it will en- able you to digest your food as perfectly as you ever have. Prepared only by The pr. Harter Medicine Co, Dayton. Ohio Sold everywhere C4l

PoPUL1sT OPPOSITION.

The Columbiana Peoples Advocate says:
 We have not had an opportunity to read the instrument in fuli We are going to fight the ratification of the new constitution to the best of our ability rom start to finish.
 Like the Irishman who was "ag'in the government" The Advocate is against the new Constitution, although it has had no opportunity to read it. It's opposition will amount to little, we imagine, though it may succeed in lining up a few Populists against it. The most of them, we hope, will see that they are equally interested with the Democrats in getting a Consti- tuition that is immeasurably better than the old one, and will support 1t. If the State Committee had been guilty of the impropriety of making the ratifica- tion of the new instrument a strictly party question we could understand how the Populists could make a partisan issue of it, and could have fought 1t as an or ganiEation if they can now be said to have an organization. but this the com mittee wisely declined to do. The instru- ment goes out as the work of white Ala bamians, and it's benefits will be shared by all the citizens of the State, irrespect- i've of party or creed. It Is, in the main, an excellent Constitution. and should meet with little opposition
 The real and only thing which The Ad- vocate and those who agree with it can find for fighting the Constitution is be- cause 1t was made by Democrats They controlled the Convention and did it's work; they are responsible for any de- fects. as they are to be commended for all that is good The Populists and Re- publlcans In the body were principally noted for their opposition to all that the Democrats proposed, and they generally acted the role of obstructionists, instead of conducting themselves as patriotic Alabamians intent on advancing the well fare of all the people and of the State.
 To fight the new Constitution for no better reason than that 1t was framed by Democrats and endorsed by the Demo- cratic State Committee. is getting down to such small politics and narrow parti- sanship as no white Alabamian ought to be guilty of. That the Constitution is largely in the interests of the white peo- pie of Alabama Is true, but that does not give shadow of excuse for Populists to oppose 1t, unless they are willing to ad- init that they feel no preference for the white race over the colored. The Advo- cate should be able to advance some ten- able arguments against the adoption of | the Constitution or cease to fight It.

Ex-GovERNoRs.

A newspaper paragraph is going the rounds which says that Alabama has more ex,,Governors. than any of the States This may be true but Alabama has very few eX-Governors. We have the voIy best that are going when we have anything. and our ex-GoVernor3 prove 1t.
 We have Gov Cobb, tall. handsome and digniied. one of the best Governors the State ever had, who is now spending the evening of his life near this city in com fort and happy in the respect of his neighbors.
 We have Gov. Jones, who has recently been afflicted in heart and in person, hut who is still in active life and doing T handsome law practice. He has a compe- Ience and his neighbor5 have recently shown their appreciation of him by "lect- ing him to the Constitutional Conception Gov. Jones has promise of long life at his Montgomery home.
 Gov. Oates now resides at Montgom- cry. but his old district down in South east Alabama still claims him and in- dorses all he says and does and all he wants to do. He Is hale and hearty and enjoys a little excursion into politics There are many who believe that Gov Oates would make a good Senator.
 Gov. Johnston lives at Birmingham He had stormy term as Governor and the wounds made have not all healed yet.

Speaking of Bishop Turner's plan of negro emigration to Africa The Buffalo Express says:
 s.If the negroes wish to emigrate, as Bishop Turner proposes, there are still great tracts of land in the United States 60 thinly populated by white men that they might easily build up negro State on some of them without going to Africa"
 The Express should remember that most of this vacant land is in the North and West, where negroes are neither well corned nor allowed.

 There are thousands in Alabama who be- neve that he was the greatest Governor the state ever had. He undoubtedly did az much to reform the finance ss of the state, and is yet in the strong middle age when the faculties are at their best. It is Dy no means certain that Gov. Johnston Is out of politics.
 These are all the ex-Governors we have. put we are rather proud of them and do not tntnk any State ran show a better four Ledger.
 And you omitted the name of as honest ana sturdy man as ever served the peo- pie Of Alabama, Robert B. Lindsay of Tuscumbia. He went through a stormy time while he was Governor. but he did his duty faithfully and deserved better treatment than he received at the hands Of the Democratic Convention in 1872. He Is living quietly at his home in Tuscum- bia. enjoying the good will and respect of all who know him.

The Rirmlngham News says:

The fact of the matter is that the negroes as a mass are not worrying about fine ratification of the new Constitution. If Ia only the political element that is 1iiaturbed and the influence of this ele- Tnent is no longer far-reaching. The movement inaugurated here few days ago win amount to little or nothing.
 Left to themselves the negroes would take but little interest in the matter. and really they have little cause to worry over it. but determined effort to unite them against it is not impos sible. Some at least of the Republican leaders see, or think they see, last opportunity to solidify the colored vote, but we hardly think they will succeed. Certainly they cannot succeed If they proceed honestly in their crusade against ratification.

Things They Do Not Remember

 From the tone of the Republican press. and the statesmen and politicians of that party person unfamiliar with the poli- tics of this country for the past twenty fve years would be led to believe that gold monometallism had always been a There Is never word from the pen of a Republican writer or talker that gives a hint of the long. tiresome. tedious jour ney, like unto that of the children of Israel from Egypt to "Canaans fair and happy land" that brought the Republican party from a friendly attitude toward silver to the passage of the gold standard
