ANARCHY AND LYNCH LAW.

~ OOKER T. WASHINGTON has taken ad-
~ vantage of the present outburst OF public
- Indignation against anarchy to make an appeal
to the Southern people that they denounce with an
equal hrmness the 5arbarous practice OF lynch law
His address made through the Montgomery
Advertiser and is marked by boldness of speech
that is the more impressive because Professor Wash
ington is known as man of habitual reserve and
caution IN speaking upon public questions outside of
those relating to education and industry.
In the reports of the address that have to us
Professor Washington is quoted saying:
Il want to ask, is Czolosz alone guilty? Has not
the entire nation had part in this greatest crime
of the century? What is anarchy but defiance OF
law and has not the ration reaped what it has been
sowing?' One criminal put to death through
the majesty of the law does more, to my mind, to
prevent crime than ten put to death by the hand of
ynching anarchists
The phrase "lynching anarchists is pat, pertinent
and precise 1t hits the mark The gangs OF
murderous men who have again and again violated
the laws of the land and every dictate OF humanity in
ntlicting death by tic most cruel barbartes upon
victim after victim are virtually as anarchistic in
their practices any proessed anarchist in
his teaching Moreover lynch law is far more
dangerous to American life than the imported
anarchy which is taught by vicious aliens in the sums
OF OUR great cities. / he records show that during
the last sixteen years 5000 persons have been
put to death in this country by mobs The crime
has been conmitteddurng that period in every State
and Territory in the Union, except Delaware, Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island Utah and
Vermont More than half Of the whole number of
lynchings took place in the eight Southern States
and more than half OF the victims were negroes
Professor Washington points out that when the
practice OF lynching begun was said in defense
OF it that it would be resored to for the punishment
of but one crime but the records show that so
rapidly does lawlessness breed awessness that more
people lynched each year for other alleged
crimes than Tor that for whose punishment it was
begun
1t is well known that the better elements of the
South have already 1evoted against lynching and
that time and again OF influence in the Southern
States have been outspoken in denouncng it. Never
thelcss, Professor Washington has done we'll in
directing attention to the question again in order that
it may be studied in the light of the present public
sentiment on the subject of anarchy. AS he himself
says: Nov that judges the pulpit and the press in
all parts OF the country condemning lynching
and anarchy as before it is time to begin
reform and enforce respect for law

lhe struggle OF the reform elements OF the commun-
ty has been directed this time against Croker per-
sonay 1t IS tet that the best way to get rid OF the
system of government that has corrupted the whole
municipal administration is to overthrow the boss
who dominates and inspires it.
That issue has been clearly made by the reform
candidates. In accepting the nomination for Mayor
from the Citizens Union Mr.. Seth Low sad "The
nomination you tender me is one of several, every
one of which is based on the fundamental con-
ceptlons OF what necessary to good city adj
ministration and all of which reflect general and
common purpose to the control of the city from
those who permit man to govern it from his
English home, like second George III, and to make
millions for himself and his friends of his control
OF it. as though this imperial city of New York were
his private gold mine. A system OF government
which permits this will permit anything, and it is not
strange that in the train of such things these every
imaginable evil that bad government produce
has befalen the city. In contradistinction to the
government we have, that is conducted primarily to
make political leaders rich the government we
should strive to set Up one whose single and only
purpose shall be promote the public interest and
to make the conditions of life more toerabe for the
multitudes to whom the name of New York, and not
Vantage, conveys the idea of home.
fight made in that spirit cannot fail to be inter-
esting. 1t brings Crokers personality into the fore
front of the battle and compels voter to deter
mine whether he prefers to be ruled by that kind OF
boss The prospects that Croker will be beaten
and that David Bennett Hill will have the satisac-
ton of seeing his enemy driven out of New York
politics altogether

AN AMERICAN EXPOSITION.

n reason OF the continual discussion going on
n among the British people concerning American
- products, the directors of the Crystal Palace
it is said have about determined to hold next wear
exposition devoted exclusively to American goods
They argue that the competition of this country with
Europe has been keen that it has created some
thing like popular demand for comprehensive
knowledge of our industrial achievements and accord
ingly that sort of exposition would draw better
among the British masses or among the sightseers
of the Continent than one which would undertake to
exhibit what Americans are doing in the way OF
furnishing civilization with everything needed from
food to mechanism
Such exposition held the Crystal Palace
would strkingly reveal the errors Of the estimates
made by the ablest of British thinkers when the
famous palace first opened for exposition pur-
poses fifty years ago. In 1851 the Crystal Palace was
one of the wonders of the world Its magnitude
impressed the mind, and the fact that it was con-
structed of iron and glass was accounted genuine
marvel, for at that time those materials were but
little used for structural purposes Moreover was
a period when people talked much of free trade and
of peace 1t fondly believed that the beautiful
palace of glass; devoted to industry and designed for
the joy and the instruction of the people, would stand
the monument OF the beginning OF new era, and
that within fifty years there would be freedom of
trade among the nations of the EARTH and armies and
fleets would be well nigh obsolete
The fifty years have passed. Europe is an armed
camp. The ocean bears more and heavier warships
than before in its history Free trade is dying
discredited i'll the land of its birth. The competition
among nations both in military and in industrial af-
fairs is keener than The nation that fifty years
ago was hardly counted as a power in the world is
now the fcrenost greatest in peace and most to be
dreaded in 1t will therefore be quite fitting that
at its next exposition the palace should be given up
exclusively to an American exhibition.

tics this has probably been the one most
- marked by popular indifference to the ac-
tvity of politicians. State elections are to be held
this fall iii Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Iowa. Ohio Rhode Island
and Virginia, nine States in all, and yet in not
single OF them does there appear to be any vigor
in the campaign.
There was at one time prospect of fine fight
in Ohio, but the assassination OF the President has
put end to anything like vigorous campaign on
either side. The Republicans will carry the State
as matter of course In Maryland there is slight
chance for strong contest since German is making
the last fight OF his life to get back to the Senate,
but even there the popular mind has remained up
to this time comparatively listess the subject
There is of course chance for revival of po-
tical activity before the elections take place. should
anything arise stimulate popular interest but there
is little probability of such thing happening In
several of the State elections the officers to be chosen
comparatively unimportant, and the fights will
be made mainly for election of members of the Leg
islature. AS the Democratic convention in Iowa re-
affirmed the Bryan platform while that of Ohio re-
pudiated it, there will be of some curiosity to
see what the effect will be upon the vote of the party
in the two States. Anything in the way of better
showing in Iowa than in Ohio will of course be hailed
by the Bryanltes as an evidence of the continued
popularity of their leader while the opposite result
would greatly strengthen the reorganizers and might
possibly so dshcarten the radicals of the party that
Bryan would hardly be factor worth counting in
the next national convention.
Nebraska carried by Republicans last fall. and
it is expected they will carry it again The only
State officers be chosen, however are Treasurer
and two Justices of the Supreme Court and conse-
quenty there is not much enthusiasm or activity in
the contest. In the remaining States there is no
doubt whatever to the result. Virginia will of
course go Democratic, while Massachusetts,, Penn

the banner of Republicanism

Honor To Whom Honor is Due.

On Tuesday next the people of
Audubon county. will elect officers
to manage its affairs for another
term. Among the important offices
to be filled is that of County Treas
urer for which our fellow-townsman
Nathaniel Douglas.Hamlin,i is can
didate. Mr.. Hamlin is the worthy
son of one of our best and earliest
settlers, his father, the late Nathan
iel Hamlin, being the first white
man to make selection of land in
this county for actual settlement, in
March, 1851, where he afterwards
settled in this township and spent
the remainder of his life an honored
and respected citizen. The first Re-
corder and Treasurer of the county,
County Supervisor and the first
Postmas in the county. One of
those whose latch string was always
out and noted throughout Western
Iowa for his genuine Kentucky hos
pitality. Many of the early settlers
of this county were people of limit
ed means and it is safe to say that
worthy man never applied in vain
to Nathaniel Hanlin for assistance.
His noble helpmeet," Aunt Peggy"
who is still with us has fed more
hungry people, gratis, than any 9TH
err lady in Audubon county. Such
were the parents of our present can
didate for treasurer: a native of this
county who has lived here most of
his life. 1t will be remembered that
he was candidate for the same
position two years ago against his
present opponent and notwithstand-
ing Mr.. BRENNAN was popular with
the people of Extra, where he had
been Mayor of the town for several
terms, Mr.. Hamlin ran ahead of his
ticket over one hundred votes. These
facts indicate Mr.. Hamlin's we'll de-
served popularity and shows that
he is best loved and respected where
he is best known, and the people OF
the county can make no mistake in
electing him to this important Office.
Extra township decided two years
Igo, in no uncertain tones, that he
is THE man for County Treasurer.
