of lynchers, il is useless to talk 10 them
concerning the dignity Of the law. for
they really feel hat they are its most
effective agents"
This view is not peculiarly southern
In the great cities north and in some
states. Ii has been shown that rioting

follow on accusations very far below

Savannah NSys calls to mind a recent

ter comparatively. 1t says:
Nobody was hanged or burned at
the stake. il is true. but the spirit which
moved the mob to rioting and the de-
struction of the pay chairs is identical
with hat which leads to the hanging
of culprits TO limbs. h New Workers
felt that they had suffered an outrage
when they were charged 5 cents for tho
privilege Of sitting in a char in the
public parks, and they arose in their
anger and smashed chairs and struck
chat tenders. And the police looked
complaisantly N. without interfering"
Lynchings are to be deplored, but the
causes leading to them are most damn
ing and awful. The tone of morals
may suffer, but virtue and homo may
be protected. Professor Shaler sees
that there is a pressing need Of the
methods of the court to prevent mis-
carriages of justice" Quick trials, a
severe prompt dealing with crime and

Their advent is causing unexpected diff
ficulty at one of the big hotels in the

amazed by the announcement that
some 200 colored men were coming,
formally protested to the proprietor,
assuring him that such a thing would
not be permitted in the United States

be accommodated in a separate part Of
the hotel. The proprietor declined to
interfere. with the result that some of
the Americans are already arranging
to leave. To a representative of the

Il could not think of offering an in

An interesting inquiry is being pur-
sued as to what became of Sampson
during those eleven days. On he 18th
of May he was Informed as to the
S~paniards being at Santiago. He did
NOT tell Schley OF it until 23rd, ordering
him to leave Cienfuegos. This he did
on the oath. He was delayed on the
way for 1.-The want OF coal and by the
disabled condition Of the Eagle and the
almost hopeless plight Of the coaler
Merrimac-one Of Secretary Longs
purchases. Of which more anon-reach-
ing h neighborhood on the 26th. Find
ing it impossible to coal his ships at
sea on account Of the rough weather,
he started for Key West. The condi-
tons abated, however; he coaled in a
sort of a way, and by the 18th was off
to Santiago in blockade formation. The
next day-the 29th-he knew absolutely
that the ~Spaniards were inside"
This is the careful account of The
Washington Post. Like other fair
minded newspapers as to Schley The
Post wishes to ascertain what had be-
come of Sampson all that time. He
knew the facts On the 18th officially.
Now, where was he after that? The
Post asks pertinently and po~intedly:
What was he doing between that date
and the Both. when he at last set out
for Santiago? Schley has been hound
ed and villified by the department be-
cause. as they allege, "he wasted three
whole days" What, then, of SIMPSONS
eleven whole days? SIMPSONS advices
from Washington were specific and di-
rect. Shley's orders, filtered through
Sampson, were vague and hypothetical,
full of ifs and ands. But Sampson did
not leave Key West until the Both, al
though Cervera a been positively To-
Gated for him on the 18th. Why"
Perhaps the great sea captain with
out a fight or a feather gained in bat
tie was afraid Of Cervera, had mo stom-
ach for the fight" and rested Upon his
brilliant honors already gained without
the firing of a gun. The country will

Babcock and the Trusts

Congressman Babcock. who wants to
put on the free list all OF the articles
the manufacture of which is controlled
by h trusts, must appreciate by this
time that it is not the masses in and
out Of his party that he must fight.
He is right up against the trusts them
selves, and we fear that the congress
man did not estimate their political
power Alright. The trusts furnish the
sinews Of war with a lavish hand and
just as a judicious investment. They
have bought a seat for many a con-
gresham. n their friends in the SEN
ate are said to hold the balance Of
power. These men are held as was
Ephraim Joined to his idols. and the
fact that Babcock is right in his scheme
for breaking h power of the trusts is
the. reason that he can have so little
hope for success-Detroit Free Press.
