THE NEGRO BURNINGS.
(From the Springfield Republican, }

(From the Springfield Republican,
The ordinary negro lynching by
hanging no longer attracts much at
tention. This is because it proceeds
in undiminshed frequency, and also
because the method of burning at the
stake has come to- be more generally
employed than formerly, and produces
horrors and agonies so much in ex-
cess of the lynching by rope and
bullet that the latter tends necessarily
to the character Of the commonplace,
neither startling to the country nor
sufficiently agonizlng to satisfy the
savagery of the mob. But meantime
the lynching by fire in turn drifts to-
ward the ordinary, and to such an ex-
tent, that the discovery on behalf
of the mob of some new and more
awful way of inflicting slow death
and torture would seem to be de-
manded.
When some seven years ago a negro
was burned at Paris, Tex, the whole
country was moved by the perfor-
nance and the newspapers employed
columns to describe the awful spec
tacle, while comment on II extended
even to the European journals and
magazines. But within two or three
years burnings have become SO fre
quent as to draw only passing atten-
ton. On Wednesday of last week n
negro was burned ut the stake in Ala
bama, and on Saturday another, the
son of a well-known local colored
preacher, was burned in Georgia. And
these two affairs have received no
more attention in the news of the
country than the recent Iynchings by
bullet and rope In Mississippi which
so worked upon the nerves of one in
nocent colored man that he killed him
self to escape the torturing fear that
his turn at the hands of the white
mob might come next.
Is the country finally to come to the
point OF accepting In silence all that
goes on in the way of expressing the
deadly race prejudices of white mobs ?
The North has been sllenced, so far
as the South Is concerned, by recent
negro burnings of its .own--in Col
orado, in Kansas and in Indiana The
Alabama and Georgia affairs of last
week brought out u display of no
greater savage fury or eagerness to
secure from the garments and charred
tleSh and bones of the victim sou.
yenirs of the OCCASION than did the Terrc
Haute burning in Indiana only few
months back. The two sections stand
on n level In this matter, and neither
is now in position to taunt the other.
And so boasted Christian civilization
Is evidently to submit in silence to
these repeated revelations of itself as
n CHASTITY mockery.
The plain fact of the matter is that
white hatred of people of dark
color seems to be increasing In the
United States, and contempt for their
rights is at the moment q growing
quantity. How much this has been
stimulated by national display of
disregard for the rights of so-called

THE INEXPERIENCED.

THE INEXPERIENCED.
There's a mystical ring, and falter-
ing rhyme,
That surge through the depths of the
soul,
In constant unrest as the pillows Of
Far on to Eternity rolll
There's a hope and a longing that
ne'er are expressed,
And song that is ever unheard-
Whose melody falls on the hearers
own breast,
In silence of meaning and word.
There's a bright-feeing goal beyond
the dim bars,
That fades as we seem to draw nigh;
But we know that it leads us at last
to the stars,
And the blue of the nebulous sky!
We neer shall arrive at our highest
and best,
In the limits of time and of clay,
Nor fathom the realm of the things
unexpressed,
Till the dawn of Eternitys day.

Saddle and bride and girth,

Man on the top Of n little horse.
Shaggy and strong and fit,
Rugged and bearded face,
Ragged old hat of felt,
Rifle that kills at thousand yards,
And a tight-crammed cartridge belt
Oh, 1t isn't by turning out your toes,
You can beat the foe in a fight,
Or by learning to march like a
marionette,
Or by keeping your buttons bright;
And 1t isn't the way that you crook

When you shut your eye to shoot;
But It's taking to cover at every

And he doesn't know how to drill;

And fought till they had their fill
He's sloyenly awkward chap;
He's a lubberly farmer-man;
But he lay on the veldt, from dawn

And shot, till they broke and ran.
For, it isn't the way that you keep

Or the way that you wheel about;

In a prison beyond the sea-

SAD HOMECOMING.
After an Absence of Nine Years q
Young Man Returns to Find
His Mother Dead.

After nine years absence from his
home, during which time he had had
no communication with his parents,
Fri Bixby, who during that time had
been five times around the world as a
sailor, and also served in the British
army in the Boer war, started home,
intent on giving his father and mother
glad surprise. On his way from San
Francisco he stopped in Sioux City.
He was headed for Cushing, where his
parents lived when he left home, but
he discovered while in Sioux City that
they had moved to LeMars. He met
two old school chums and was ex-
planning to them how he was going
to bounce in on his mother and father
and surprise them, when one of the
boys took him kindly by the arm and
gently told him that his mother had
died only three weeks ago. The young
man almost broke down. The thought
that after nine years of absence he
had missed his mother only three
weeks was bitter one. His bright
anticipations Of pleasure and JOY were
Immediately turned into gloom. Blk

TWO OPINIONS.
Attorney General Mullen Interprets
the LAW Concerning Teachers
and Finances.

Attorney General Mullan has trans
mitted an opinion to Superintendent
Barrett interpreting the law designed
by Chris Miller, of Fayette county, in
the last legislature, and which pro-
vldes that teachers shall be examined
as to their ability to teach vocal mu-
sic. Mr.. Mullan holds that when spe-
cial teachers are provided to instruct
in the elements of vocal music this
clearly exempts those teachers in gen.
eral charge of such schools from sat
isfying the county superintendent of
their ability to teach the elements of
vocal music in a proper manner. The
number of times such teacher may in
struct has no bearing on the ques-
ton.
Attorney General Mullan has also
held in an opinion to Superintendent
Barrett as trustee of the state nor
NAL school that that institution can
not take any of the money charged
for fees and contingent expenses to
cover any part of the expense for
erecting and equipping the new build
ing and for which 100000 was appro-
priated by the last legislature. He
holds that this appropriation must
cover the whole expense. Fees and
tuition charged by the institution I'M
der section 2676 are part of the con-
tingent fund. Equipping new build
Ing is not contingent expense. 1t
is the completion of building and
not repair. Nor is the enlargement
of heating plant a contingent or re-
pair expense.
