From the New York Evening Post.
 The work of putting an end to lynch law goes on steadily at Wetumpka. Ala. There George Howard was recently sentenced 10 Imprisonment for life for lynching a col- ored man who was accused of stealing chickens. The same jury of hls neighbors which fixed his heavy penalty has found two other men guilty of murder in the second degree and made their punishment ten years in prison for participating in the same outrage against the law. The Birmingham Age-Herald and the Savan- nah News, extracts from which are else where published, are but two of many Southern newspapers which have been prompt to recognize the great value Of these convictions and to bestow hearty praise upon the jury and the fearless Judge Denson, who is presiding over the trials. which will not be ended until sev- eral more men are tried. The fact that Southern newspapers generally have the courage to apply the proper names to such crimes Is one of a number of very encouraging signs of a reaction from the lawlessness of the last few weeks. Among the recent notable protests, the strong words of Bishop Gailor of Tennessee must not be overlooked "The white people," he declares, must themselves be pro- tected from the madness of self-ruin." No one can justly contend that such a state ment smacks of exaggeration

From the Chicago Record-Herald.

The vigorous prosecutions at Wetump- ka, together with the recent manifesta- tions of a determination on the part of the Governors of several Southern states to hold sheriffs responsible for these lynchings, is indicative of great change in Southern sentiment and gives ground for indulging the hope that the states in which lynchings have been frequent may yet assert the supremacy of the law over mob rule.

FOOTSTEPS OF ANGELS,

By Longfellow. When the hours of the day are numbered And the voices of the night Wake the better soul that slumbered To holy. calm delight, Ere the evening lamps are lighted And, like phantoms grim and tall. Shadows from the fitful firelight Dance upon the parlor wall, Then the forms of the departed Enter at the open door; The beloved ones, the true hearted. Come to visit me once more. He, the young and strong, who cherished Noble longings for the strife By the roadside fell and perished, Weary with the march of life. They, the holy ones and weakly, Who the cross of suffering bore Folded their pale hands so meekly, Spake with us on earth no more! And with them the being beauteous Who unto my youth was given, More than all things else to love me And is now a saint in heaven. With a slow and noiseless footstep Comes that messenger divine, Takes the vacant chair beside me, Lays her gentle hand in mine,
  And she sits and gazes at me With those deep and tender eyes, Like the stars, so still and saintlike, Looking downward from the skies. Uttered not, yet comprehended, Is the spirits voiceless prayer, Soft rebukes, in blessings ended, Breathing from her lips of air. Oh, though oft depressed and lonely, All my fears are laid aside If I but remember only
 Such as these have lived and diedI

It is long advance to secure the con- viction of even one white man for lynch Ing a colored man. Taken in connection with the firm attitude Southern sheriffs are showing and the commendation the sermon of the Rev. Quincy Ewing of Greenyille, Miss, against lynching Is re- ceiving from Southern newspapers, 1t Is proof that the outlook in the South is certainly brightening. If the advantage already gained is held and pushed. mob law can in few years be abolished.
