Reyd II in His Ne,csDtlDel

George Schaub, well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is con
stant reader of the Dayton Tolkseeit"ng.
He knows that this paper aims to adver-
tise only the best in its columns, and when
he saw Chamberlain Pain Balm adver-
tised therein for lame back, he did not
hesitate in buying bottle OF it for his
wife, who for eight weeks had suffered
with the most terrible pains in her back
and could get no relief. He says: "After
using the Pain Balm for few days my
wife said to me, 4 feel as though born
anew, aud before using the entire con
tents of the bottle the unbearable pains
had entirely vanished and she could again
take up her household duties He is
very thankful and hopes that all suffering
likewise will hear of her wonderful re-
covery. This valuable liniment is for
sale by Jas. A. Lee Druggist.

The Signal cannot imagine why
the country members Of the legis-
lature are in favor Of the repeal of
the poll tax provisions of the con-
stitution. The argument that
many white men are too poor or
too penurious or too unpatriotic to
pay a dollar poll tax for the pub
lie schools is unworthy of consid-
Grafton. Any citizen who will not
pay one dollar year to enjoy the
protection and blessings Of the
State government is not worthy OF

THE SEVEN EDWARDS or ENGLAND.
The King has had gloomy fore
bodings that calamity would be
fall him on account of his name.
All the Edwards from Edward
First down have had sorrow, war
fare and domestic tragedy to con
tend with.
England, however, hoped the
magic number seven might turn the
frown of fate from the name.
Edward | spent most of his days
rolling up trouble for himself and
incurring general hatred by his
bitter warfare against Scotland.
Edward II, prohigate and weak
ling, was murdered in prison.
Edward Ill lived to see his only
son-the Black Prince, whom he
idolized-die, and himself died,
knowing he was to bo succeeded by
vacilating, delicate grandson
what might upset the grand dynasty
the Black Prince and his father
had built up.
Edward ", after usrrping Eng
lands throne and causing the death
of HenryVI, lived but a short time
in court rent with dissensions !;
then, while young, died of disease. /.
Edward Y was murdered in the
Tower of London by order of his
fathers brother, the Duke of Glou-
cester, afterward Richard III.
Edward VI died while still a
mere boy.
Edward VII has been compelled
to wait until he was over sixty be-
fore ascending the throne. Now,
with the crown just within his
grasp, he is stricken and may pos
sibly die an uncrowned King.

The London Chronicle says that
"loafer" comes froln Spanish
word, aud that we got it via Mexico
as we did "galoot. The Century
dictionary, generally deemed pretty
fair authority, says it comes from
the same root as the German laufei
or runner, from laufer, to run OF
walk, loafer accordingly means a
person who wanders.

MANUFACTURING CRIMINALS.

But there can be no doubt that
an institution having for its OBJ
ject the saving of the youth Of the
State and the segregation of juve-
nile offenders from the hardened
criminals is most desperately
needed
We are unconsciously training
and educating a large criminal
element among our citizenship. 1t
is a shame and disgrace that un-
fortunate boys and girls, too, for
that matter, whom, the cruelty Of
fate has deprived of healthful,
moral home restraints and intlu
ence, and who possibly have been
set adrift without father or mother
i'm q sea of crime, should be per
mitted to live and mature into
manhood and womanhood in the
very atmosphere Of wickedness
and sin.
II is criminal, too, on the part
of the State to assign q wayward
youth who has made his first step
in crime to n life of association
with hardened criminals. 1t is a
stout heart and a stong individual
ity that can don the stripes of in
fanny and be associated with muir
derers, burglars and villains of all
classes in a prenal colony and
emerge with ray of future hope.
Such an unfortunate must, after
serving his term, whether it be
long or short, return to the world
hardened and more sinful, broken
in spirit aud callous to the gibes
and criticisms of his fellows.
After all, it is frequently the
case that environment makes saint
or sinner of us. A poor devil who
has never known truth and who
has been taught that virtue is q
pretty sentiment for picture books
aud fairy stories is entitled to our
most sincere commisseration, pity
and sympathy. He may be a
youth in his teens who never knew
a mothers prayers or father
benedictions, yet he is lined nr
with murderers and cut-thrOats,
with infamy and placed in the
chain-gang.
1t is horrible to contemplate
We do not believe in featherbeds
and table delicacies for criminals
We are opposed to every form Of
maudin sentiment for felons. But
there ought to be intelligent an'
| just discrimination, and there
ought to be supreme effort to saw
the youth of the land from dis
grace and ruin.
There are to-day about 30l
youth in the State prison. .
these twenty-five or thirty ar
white boys. We regard these 3O'
as lost beyond recall. But ther
are scores and hundreds of bot
coIors whose inevitable destiny j
the penitentlary, who may b
saved from disgrace and mad
worthy good citizens. A grade'
: reformatory institution by what
ever name it may be called, wher
proper restraints are enforced an
wholesome instruction given, an
useful trade taught, would d
more to save souls, spare sufferin
and prevent crime than anything
we could suggest just now.-1h

NORTHERN MALTREATMENT OF THE
NEGRO.

lNGoNv.
It generally happens that when
negro commits the crime of rape
on a white woman in the South,
Southern men lynch him. The
best sentiment in the South is OPP
posed to lynching and many
Southern newspapers, including
| The Post, advocate special term
Of court to try rape cases lmmed-
lately upon the commission OF the
crime.
Many Northern newspapers, ig-
noring this attitute on the part OF
many Southern newspapers and
the best citizens Of the South lg-
noring the great provocatlon from
the crime, and saying not one
word in condemnation of the
criminal or in sympathy with the
victim, have chosen to denonnce
the South for the lynchings which
have occurred within its borders.
By many Northern journalists, the
negro who is lynched for raplng
white woman is regarded as a mar
tyr and is put upon a level with
the holy men of history, the saints
who died for the Christian faith,
forgetting altogether that the
Christian religion forbids rape,
and that the heinous crime is rem
dered thousandfold more heinous
by the unnaturalness of miscegen-
alton of the races.
With the men of the North this
misdirected prO-negro zeal is not
so genuine as the zealOts believe it.
Although many of them know it
not, it is nothing more nor less
than sectionalism and predjudice
against the South. If the wife,
sister or daughter of one of these
Northern partisans were raped by
a negro, which God forbid, it is
very likely that the husband,
brother or father of the victim
would find the blood boiling in his
veins not very differently from the
Southern way, and he would lynch
the black fiend quite as readily as
does his fellow countrymen at the
South.
We get the chance every now
and then, as with the Colorado and
Kansas lynchings, which happened
not great while ago, to reply to
our Northern critics with unan
swerable facts. The recent race
wars in Adams county, Indiana,
and at Eldorado, Illinois, demon
strate that not only is it true, as the
Colorado and Kansas lynchings
prove, that a negro is lynched at
the North for a heinous crime, but
that he is prosecuted and driven
, out of the country for no crime at
, all, and that there is predjudice
2 at the North against poor negro S
! peacably earning an honest living.
. As we at the South are more civ
ilized than this and give the law
: abiding negro a fair chance and
help him all we can, we have the
right to protest against this North
E erp barbarism. There is no need
e to answer the Northern critics OF
, the South. They are answered by
!, the facts with an eloquence and
. effectiveness which no tongue OF
( pen can command. Let them busy
! themselves with the beam in theil
). own eye and try to teach their
I people not to maltreat the negro
, The South is strong enough tt
E stand Northern denunciation
{ which is unjust and undeserved
! but the negro inhabitants of lndi
), ana and Illinois should be saved il
E some way from Northern barbarity
!, and violence. Houston Post.
