LYNcHiNG CHILDREN.

We are distressed to see that a mob OF
Salisbury, N. c.. has lynched two negro
boys. The youngest Of the victims was
only thirteen years of age, and he was
made to climb tree with a rope around
his neck and jump to his death. He was
not even old enough to control his feel
ings, and broke down and cried just be-
fore the fatal leap was made After the
boys were hung, torches were applied to
their feet to make sure that they were
dead, and then the mob dispersed.
This is a horrible thing. In vain will
it be pleaded that the boys committed q
horrible crime. They were bad boys and
they stoned woman to death. but that
was no excuse for the savagery of the
mob Things have come to a poor pass
indeed when the mob wreaks its venge-
ance upon children.
The worst part of it all is that the
whole South has to suffer for this sort
of savagery. No wonder our enemies at
the North seize upon such cases to say
mean things about the Southern people.
We cannot defend ourselves against such
shameful exhibition of mob violence
as that at Salisbury.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS"

The Republicans of Pennsylvania, in
| convention yesterday, passed resolutions
giving their heartiest approval and sup
port to President Roosevelt In their
| platform they recognize the fidelity
with which he has carried out the policies
Of his lamented predecessor and declare
that "he is strong in conviction, wise in
action, thoroughly American, of high
patriotic ideals, and that his leadership
establishes confidence in the success OF
Republican principles and prosperity for
the country" In conclusion, they pledge
themselves to his denomination for the
Presidency.
It will be agreed that Mr.. Roosevelt is
strong in conviction and that he has
high patriotic IDEALS" but that he is
wise in action" is another proposition.
Mr. Roosevelt is a brilliant man, man
of intellect, a man of cultivation but we
do not think that the word wisdom ap-
plies to him. He is one of the most in
discreet men who ever occupied the Presi-
Dental chair, and we do not believe that
the business interests of this country are
willing to trust him for another term.
But the action of the Pennsylvania con-
vention indicates that the Republicans
are going to nominate him in 1904, and
Democrats should take note of the inter-
esting and important fact. If the Demo
cratic party will only plant itself. upon
the right sort of platform and nominate,
a wise and discreet and patriotic mar
for the Presidency, it will have a splen-
did chance to win.

We are gratifed to know that the re-
tail merchants of Richmond have deter
mined to close their stores at Z o'clock
on Saturday evenings during the sum
mer months. Their employees are entitled
to this consideration, and the public will
not suffer by it. There is no reason why
purchases may not be made on Saturday
before that hour. It is scarcely less than
cruel to keep men and women behind
the counters during the hot season until
10 and IL o clock at night. The merchants
have this matter in their own hands, and
If they will only stand together nobody
will lose anything by it. -

cause of grievance against them in the

Using, the chief and largest source of
newspaper income. It explains that a
large number of staple manufactured
products might be mentioned which in
the days of open competition manufac-
turers found it necessary to advertise lib
orally but which, being now in conbina-
tons by themselves, controlling their
several markets, proceed on the principle
that the public must buy their articles
anyway, whether they advertise or not
This. it concludes, led to the recent OBJ
servation Of we'll known and observant
political leader that some day the press
of the country, Influenced solely by selfish
consideration, would rise up against the
trusts and crush them with the weight
of an aroused public sentiment.
Btsh and nonsense. The newspapers Of
the country have really lost very little
from this source, and what they have
lost they have gained in other directions.
There was never before in the history of
the world so much advertising, and the
prosperous. But whether that were true
or not, the idea that the newspapers
would undertake for any such sordid and
selfish motives to disturb the general bus
intss; of the country is too absurd to be
not conducted upon any such narrow and
despicaule lines. They do net indulge in
hlackmail for the sake of getting bust
ness.

The Courier" OF Enumc1aw, Washing

extract:
THE war of the cattle and sheep inter

history for several years-and bloody his
tory at that. The cattlemen complain
that a flock of sheep will ruin a grazing
country by trampling the ground so that
the grass will not grow again. They have
fought the sheep men In the courts and
hrjke been beaten. and now the favorite
method Of warfare Is to get company
Of cowboys and make a raid on lone

thousand sheep.
This vendetta of the range seems to
grow more bitter as the area of grazing
land Is cut down. Each new homestead

CURRENT TOPICS.
Alabama's New Constitution.

Alabama's New Constitution.
Here is an article from the Birmingham
News, which has peculiar interest for
Virginia. The News says:
It does look a little unusual that the
loudest demands for honest elections in
Alabama are coming from the opponents
of the new Constitution. This Is hard to
understand. The News has Aong pleaded
for the abolition Of the ridiculous farces
held in this State Tor so long under the
guise of elections. The miserable ballot
box stuf1ing and other election frauds
which have done SO much toward drag
ging down politics in Alabama are a
stencil in the nostrils of all right thinking
and honest men, And how are we to put
4 stop to this? Largely through the very
Constitution which some are loudly de-
nouncing It is the only way to get
honest elections. The illiterate negro
vote which has been bou6-.u and sold and
side-tracked and otherwise disposed of
BY petty professional politicians for years
has largely been gotten rid Of. It was
the greatest temptation to election trick
cry and fraud. Many Of these men who
recognized what an invitation 1t was to
corruption were satisfied that the only
hope for honesty or even decency in cleo
tons in this State was through an instru-
ment by which this vote would be largely
eliminated. In other words, we now have
far less excuse for fraudulent elections
than epSr before, and il under the new
franchise fraud is not reduced to mini-
mum 1t is not because the means for this
is lacking. Just how those who are cry-
ing so loud for clean elections can oppose
the new Constitution which was designed
and passed largely with that emu In view
is hard to understand.
