Lynchfng Increases Crime.
70 the Editor Of The Evening Star:


1 join with the few who are dema nding
that the savages who burn negroes alive
should be summarily squelched. The dis
grace falls on the entire nation, but chief
ly on the south. II we except two western
states and few savage tribes, the south
Is the only country on earth where this
crime is committed. either with or without
warrant Of law. There must be at least
twenty nations inhabited by negroes. but
in none except ours Is such enormtty toll
Grated. SO the plea Of necessity falls to
the ground.
But my chief purpose in writing this
letter Is In behalf Of the white women 1t
Is fact that savage cruelty on one side
invariably begets the same on the other,
and the more burnings the more ravish-
ings. Fewer cases were reported a year
ago than now. for Of late have read them
In every days paper. But some burnings
may be on false charges, for one has only
to accuse negro, nowadays, to get him
Killed. In the eighteenth century there
were 1859 crimes punishable with Death in
England; but 1t was found that crime in
creased the more and the death penalties
were nearly all abolished. Even the most
blgoted have learned that the inqusition
multiplies heretics just as mob violence
Increased the abolitionists. before the war.
and recall In my own experience how the
bitter and unjust attacks of trades union
lists turned my friendship for them into
enmity. The cruelties Of the Spaniards in
the Netherlands. so exasperated the Prot
estants that they. in turn, became as cruel
as their foes, and history is full of similar
illustrations. What are the husbands.
brothers and sons of the south thinking OF
that they should shut their eyes to what
history so plainly teaches and persist in
increasing the peril Of their women folks?

''only half a glass at luncheon. and two
half glasses at dinner: and though my
medical advisers told ME should increase
the quantity / refused to do so." They
are wrong, my lord, for advising you to
increase the quantity" said Father Mathew
playfully, "and you are wrong In taking
even the small quantity you mention. but
have hopes Of you: and despite the
good -humored resistance Of Brougham he
invested his lordship with the green ribbon
and silver medal of the Total Abstinence
Society. "I'll tell you what I'll do" said
Brougham. ''Il take the ribbon to the
house of lords. where 1 shall be sure to
meet old Lord the worse for liquor,
and I'll put 1t on him." This announce
ment was received with much laughter by
the company. for the peer referred to was
notorious for his deep potations A few
evenings later Brougham met him In the
house of lords. Lord -, said he, II
have a present from Father Mathew for
you" and he passed the ribbon and medal
rapidly over the old peers head. Then
I'll tell you what It is Brougham. BY
God I'll keep sober from this night!' ex-
claimed the other. and to the great amaze

There was an enthusiastic meeting OF
the Washington and Gettysburg railroad
promoters at Laytonsville yesterday after
noon. People poured in from all sections
and many contributed money toward the
success Of the new road.
1t is understood that an aggregate OF
81 900 was contributed yesterday in a very
short time. The promoters have already
spent $4,000 for rights Of way. and have
secured about twenty eight miles. all told
II is a stipulation that the money sub
scribed is not to be called for or paid un-
til the road is built.
1t Is understood the promoters are back
ed by well-known railroad financiers and
brokers of New York city, and that the
road will be built with the approval Of the
Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania sys-
TENS.
1t is understood that the call for SUBJ
scriptons Is being responded to literally
in Rockville and other points.
A. a meeting in the interest OF the same
road at Etchison. Montgomery county,
Tuesday, very large crowd assembled to
hear the address Of DR.. ]. d. Colgrove OF
New York, one of the promoters of the
lew road. 1t Is understood that in Etchi-
son a total Of about 81 600 was subscribed
In the survey of the road from Derwood
to Westminster easy grades have been
found. with the exception OF one short sec
tion. but this, II is said. can be avoided by
resurveying, and yet not changing the
present route to any great extent. The
route through from Derwood to Gettys-
bur. via Mount Airy. seems to be almost
air line and will not be over sixty
miles in length.
1t Is said the trains Of the new road will
run over the Baltimore and Ohio tracks
from Washington to Derwood. Md, few
miles west of Rockville
The contractors on the cut off on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad between Ad-
a:nstown and Washington Junction have
reached point near Washington Junction,
where it requires great deal Of blasting
of calico rock, and progress Is slow. The
blasting that Is being done is at the point
where the new cut off connects with the
Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad.
