EDITORIAL NOTES..
LYNCHINGS.

Nearly all the negro con-
ventions throughout the
country pass resolutions
asking President Mckinley
to prevent lynchings. If these
negroes and white people, too,
who are working for the
betterment of the race would
think a moment they would
be convinced that no power
on earth except the negro
himself can stop lynch
ings. If the cause stops the
remedy will be discarded.
When a man begins to tell
what he thinks about lynch
ings he should ask himself
this question: Could | say
this if my own home, my
wife or my daughter had
been so outraged" The
foundation of our moral law
is shaken every time a negro
ravisher is hanged or burned, |
and the lOOseness and dilatory
methods of the law, lawyers
and the many technicalities
found are in a measure re-
spOnsible. At the same time
nc word of condemnation for
the brute who committed the
crime, or expression of
sympathy for the defenseless
woman is heard from those
whose softened consciences
offer a palliation for such
terrible deeds.
If we are not mistaken Gov
AyCOck is the man who said
that the states could take
care Of their own affairs when
it came to the question of
lynchings, and we commend
him for so replying to the !
international Council of the
World, which organization $

Got the Train stopped.

Turf, Field and Farm tells this story
about the late Charles p. Clark, for
merly president of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad: "When
the late Robert Bonner purchased
Maud g., he sent her to Charter Oak
park to be trained. One day a friend
of Mr.. Bonner left New York to visit
him at the park. but found that the
train did not stop at that station. The
conductor was polite, but said that he
could not go against orders. At New
Haven n halt was made, and Mr.. Bon
ner's friend tried to bribe the engineer
with $40 bill, but in vain. He was
then told that President Clark was on
the train, and he went to him.
"'Why don't you see the CONDUCTOR 2
asked Mr. Clark.
"T have. but he will not disobey or
ders.'
"'Why not then 60 forward and bribe
the engineer
"T tried bribery at New Haven, but
1t would not work
"The absence of evasion was the best
policy. Mr.. Clark not only gave orders
to have the train stopped at Charter
Oak, but promised some day to see
Maud s. He had witnessed the little
attempt at bribery, and the frank con-
fession of the offense seemed to please
him."

Pennsylvnnfa WeaseIs.

Possibly few who read Of kings
robes OF royal ermine" appreciate that
the rightful and first possessors OF the
beauteous coat is sometimes n denizen
Of the keystone State. IL may be that
some subtle force suggested to turn
coat monarchs TO choose the pelt OF this
animal for their own. In fact, during
the greater portion OF the year the er-
mine is q plain egg sucking weasel. AS
winter comes on he assumes white
coat, with black tipped tail.
Putolus noveboracensls,a us the scien-
list calls the weasel or ermine, ranges
from North Carolina away up into Can
ada. 1t IL rare, however, to take err
mine or white coated weasels In Penn
rylvnnIa, although two specimens have
Just been received Mt the Academy OF
Natural Sciences from Sullivan county.
In fact, south OF Pennsylvania the wea-
sci never changes color In winter. and
this fact goes far to substantiate the
theory Of protective colorntion. Thus
when snow covers the ground the white
ermine becomes nearly invisible. while
In his weasers guiae during the sum
mer he ~ not nearly no conspicuous ns
he would be did he wear his white coat
NIL the year round.
Another interesting fact IN that while
the animals that live I'm the north al
ways change color those In the south do
not, the reason being that their white
color would not protect, but destroy,
them, as there IL almost no snow In the
south Record.

he asked me few questions, growing
more civil all the time, and at length
he returned the papers, with the re-
mark:

you could have said nothing in favor Of
