WILL LANIER TO HANG.

Aberdeen, Miss, March 18.-Unless he manages to make another of his celebrated escapes in the meantime, or some of the higher powers inter. eede in his behalf, Will Lanier. the Monroe count outlaw and murderer, will be hanged here tomorrow
 Lanier was convicted nearly two years ago of the murder of the Riddle brothers. being assisted in the crime b two other members of his family, who are now in the penitentiary serv- ing sentences. The crime was pecu- liarly atrocious. Just few days prior to the date set by the Supreme court for the hanging. Lanier escaped and remained at large several months. He was captured in Georgia and returned to the county jail here. While await ing re-sentence he again escaped and remained at large several days, being finally recaptured near his old home. Another appeal was then taken to the Supreme court, which tribunal reaf. firmed the decision of the lower court and fixed tomorrow as the date of ex- ecution.

NEW SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.

It Is well known that as assistant secretary of the navy. MT. Roosevelt accomplished much more important work than is usually supposed to be required of an incumbent of that sub ordinate position. It was he who in- sisted upon a sufficient supply of am intuition, that the battleships and cruisers might have adequate target practice. The fact that Dewey was so we'll equipped with munitions of war Is ascribed to MT. Roosevelt's activi- ties. It Is a safe assumption, there fore. that in selecting successor to Secretary Long he has made use of his knowedge of the requirements of the position and has acted in accordance with his desire that the navy should be kept at all times in the highest pos sible state of efficiency. MT. Moody, the new secretary. within a few years has become one of the more prominent of the New England congressman, be- cause of his ability and energy. He has had no more experience in naval affairs than MT. Roosevelt had when he became assistant secretary, but he has many of the Rooseveltan qualities of aggressiveness. The head of the navy department does not need to be a statesman or diplomat, but he should be man of administrative ability.
 It Is fair to assume that the presi- dent has assured himself that in Mir. Moody he wll have such an official

seriously into question. If state may place the business of some of its citi- zens under certain restrictions, ex- empting others from them. it would be impossible to fix the limits to which discriminating legislation, not only among corporations but among indi- yiduals, might be carried. One of the vital constitutional principles of this government-thata all men enjoy equal tights under the law-is involved. It is upon this point that the court de- clares the law invalid. The fact that this argument is made the basis of the courts decision. moreover, gives ground for the inference that the Su- preme court. so far from denying the rights of states to repress trust organi' cations, is prepared to uphold 1t in case it is used impartially and h ac. cordance with the principles of the constitution.
 The decision virtually invalidates the last of three separte acts in which Illinois has vainly endeavored to frame adequate laws in restraint oi monopolies. In the failure of the lat est of these laws the students of the trust question will find but another evidence that the best way to attack unjustifiable and hurtful combinations is by depriving them of special privi leges. such as tariffs and special freight rates, thus limiting them to the restrictions which would be placed upon them by the natural economic or industrial condition.-Chicago News.
