LYNcHiNG IN WYOMING,

The lynchIng Of Woodward at Cas-
per, Wyoming, by a band Of masked
toughs Is another evidence Of the fact
that such acts are not committed for
the furtherance Of the ends of justice,
but in obedience 10 the promptlngs OF
the ferocl0us instincts which II Is the
object Of law to keep within proper
bounds. Woodward was In the hands
of the officers of the law, lie was
sentenced to death for his crime. and
there was no ground for the supposi-
ton that he would have escaped his
fate. But justice Is too slow for a
mob possessed OF The evil spirit OF
murder And that is the fact In a
majority OF the cases Of lynching that
disgrace American history
Il remains for the law-abidIng oiti-
zens Of Wyoming to protest strongly
against the outrage committed against
the state, and for the officers to do all
in their power to hunt down and pun
sh the seIf-appointed angels Of ven
geance. who did not even dare to show
their faces, Only so can the dark blot
be wiped out.
The danger OF such occurrences,
when not dealt with according to law,
is that they act like contagious dis
eases They spread an evil influence,
Lynchings would have been rare oo-
cufrences now, had not the coWardice
Of the guardians Of the law restrained
them from taking vigorous measures,
when that form of lawlessness first
commenced to attract attention, 1t is
not too late yet to stamp ii out, But
It may some time become too late TO
do SO with the ciyil arm Of the law
II that arm is permitted to hang too
long as parayzed by the side OF the
body polite And then, no prophetic
gift is needed to foresee the condition
that may arise, For 1t is sure that
whore lawessness is first permitted to
spread It win not take very long be-
fore neither life. honor nor property is
safe.

THE SENSATIONAL CHARGE.

As previously stated in the News"
the charge Of bribery in connection
with the transfer Of the Danish West
Indies, was probably brought up as q
last effort Of the opponents Of the sale

as the scandalous story was confined
to the domain Of umor alone no Of
flclal notice could be taken OF II, but
now Il has been called to the atten-
ton OF Congress, and a thorough in.
vestlgation Is in order. The allega-
ton is really directed against the hon.
or Of two governments,
According to the story, a secret re-
port OF a Danish government agent.
Captain Christmas was intercepted In
some way, and from this report It was
learned that Christmas had paid heavy
sums in this country TO influence gov

chase lie was to have 100000 FOR his

Whether the coming together Of the
leaders OF the South African war Is
due to British overtures or TO Boer
initiation, the outcome has been made
more doubtful than It would have been
before the capture Of General Methuen.
1t Is hardly conceivable that the Brit
ish could make more liberal terms than
they have already offered the Beers,
and on the other hand 1t Is not reason
able 20 suppose, after the capture oE
Methuen, the Beers would be willing
TO make larger concessions than be-
fore, on the contrary, It Is not inn
probable that their latest victory has
postponed rather than FASTENED peace,

ment to the fighting burghers. But
perhaps the greatest obstacle Of all Is
the seeming lack of harmony between

and the Orange countries and the field
commanders.

There Is an interesting rumor that
the aged pope contemplates the insti-
tuition Of an order Of literature open to
the writer's Of all nations. As Leo

In making the decision,
II is very desirable that the district

Of them are not commendable unless

dlligent In their efforts to prejudice
county supermtendents in favor OF the
books they have to offer and against
those Of other firms
We trust our friends, prominent In
echool affairs throughout the state,
win be cautious IN accepting the repre-
sensations OF those agents. It Is their
business to recommend their wares, to
exalt their superiority over other such
goods. and to screen their imperfec-
tlons They make liberal offers Of ex-
change ana endeavor by every possible
means to secure the adoption Of those
supplies which they are Interested In
pushing upon the state We do not
say this to reflect IN any manner upon
the gentlemen engaged In this busl-
ness, but simply TO warn all who have
to pass upon this important matter
not to take for granted all that Is rep
resented, but to thoroughly investigate
for themselves all claims presented to
them ana only make such changes as
experience shows to them to be desira-
Bile.
The interests Of education must be
placed before the pecunlary benefits TO
be derived by any publishing house
The law hedges this about by suitable
provisions II is made a misdemeanor
for any school officer to accept from
the publisher OF any school books, u
bonus to secure recommendation for
the use Of any school supplies. No
such officer or teacher Is allowed to
act as agent for such supplies All pro-
posals from publishing houses are to

Wholesale and retail prices at which
they will be furnished, The publisher
whose books are accepted ls required to |
