Sectional and Unjust.

The Associated Press sends Us, and
.wesprint, what we are told is an s.ad-
dress that will long be remembered by
those who heard 1.-THE address OF
Judge Lewis at the trial of the presi-
dents assassin.
Judge Lewis put up no defense for
the prisoner. The prisoner refused to
cooperate with him. He did the best
he could by the assassin. But he got
IN a large amountof inyidious section
alism that ugly and out Of place.
Whyshe took occasion, in this great
trial, to drag inst the south and try to
stab it is not understood, We do not
believe that any man has been lynch
ed IN the south for S. insulting, anoth-
er. man, as Judge Lewis said. Judge
Lewis had norigIt. In Justice, to make
the statement which he spread broad
cast yesterday. He putzupon the south
a sectional mania for lynch law that
was unfair, and unWarranted. Hsad. he
said even this at another time his
offence would not have been SO grave.
To have used the occasion of the trial
of the presidents assassin to give vent
to such attack was almost criminal
Judge Lewis brags Of his devotion to
law as illustrated in his attorneyship
for the despised assassin: He pro-
claims his sacrifice to justice, to or
der, to right. In The next breath he
commits the gravest injustice that
his position as counsel for notorious
criminal gave him pportunity to
commit-he ibeled the soutL, By state
ment and by intimation.
We do not deny the presence OF the
lynching spirit in the south, nor do
we approve it; but the south has no
monopoly Of it, and should not have
been, singled out, and misrepresented
on an occasion when the speaker had
the world for an audience. 1t was
not time for the inyidious arraign.
ment Of any section. What was said
against the mob spirit was all right
but it should have been aimed at
neither New York nor the south, but
at the practice wherever it manifests
itself.-Augusta Chronicle.

In the absence Of a full explanation

Facts About German Shipping
Subsidies.
, -.

The following letter appeared in the
London Times a few days ago
To the Edi tor@2Sir: For a long time
past the assertion has repeatedly been
in the English press that the success
|.of the German merchant marine is to
be attri buted to large subsidies paid
by:fhe. German government.
This statement does not only appear
In the daily papers, but frequently
even in periodicals especially devoted
to stfe Interests of shipping. The
Hamburg-American line has thus been
particularly pointed out as owing to
the material assistance received from
the: government its ability to run
steamers like the Deutschland and Its
development into the largest shipping
company insthe world.
81 have, SO far, never looked upon
these statements as sufficiently impor-
stant to demand public recti6cation.
sObserving, however, that of late in
your country intense interest seems to
be taken in this qeustlon, SO that
hardly day passes without prominent
English papers dealing with this sub
jiect, now think ought to correct
this erroneous idea about German ship
ping subsidies, and therefore, beg to
state thai, up to the year 1890, the
Hamburg American line never received
any government subsidy Since last
Year we are sharing in a subyention
granted for the main ntenance of Iegu-
laTs ort1ightly mai service between
German the far east, and to
the present two of our steamers are
running under sthis contract. East

this subsidy amounted to- about s13,-

forwarded without further payments;
and there are so many conditions
relating TO the high class of vessels,
