TRIBUNE OF TIE PEOPLE.

In the death of Commissioner John
Wesley Ross, which occurred Tuesday
morning of last week after a briet
illness, the community loses one of its
most upright, large-hearted and best =
loved citizens. For thirty years he has
been closely identified with the growth
and development of the nations capi-
tai, and in official life as professor in
college, as postmaster, school trustee
and commissioner, he has, de,pite OBJ.
staclet and delicatesituations, performed
every duty conscientiouVly aud with
satisfaction to the people. He treated
the high and the low with uniform
and unfailing courtesy, and the COL
ored citizens not only respected and
admired him as an administrator of
law, but loved him as a friend. He
was always mindful of the interests of
the oppressed, and the place he has held
in the esteem of our race will not be
easily filled. Many young man and
woman of both races owe their start
in life to the generosity and steady
encouragement of the deceased Com
missioner. Such whole-souled charac-
tiers as John w. Ross are not met
every day, and his passing, in the full
ness of his powers, is q calamity that
brings the deepest SORROW to all who
knew his kindly nature and just deal
ing in every relation of life. He was
indeed "a tribune of the people,"
Take him for all in all. we shall not look

HE LINcnINs EVIL.

The lynching evil seems to be break
ing out in a fresh spot. Like every
other crime or fad, one episode is fol
lowed by a series, until sporadic cases
spread into an epidemic. The iynching
of Charles Craven near L'esburg,
Virginia, last week, while lacking in
some of the atrocious features of other
unlawful executions, such as burning
and dismemberment, was far less ex-
cusable than any that we have heard
of In recent months. Here was a Ne
gro, comparatively friendless and PEN
niless, sought for the alleged crime of
murder, upon purely circumstantial
evidence. No one pretended to be an
eye witness to the tragedy. Craven
runs of, imagining himself to be
wanted for a trivial ofense, because,
having just been liberated from the
penItentiary, he knew that his .acord
would be against him if brought into
court. The man hunt began and after
some trouble, the Negro was captured
and landed in jail at Leesburg. Threats
of ,lynching were at once rife, and a
whole townfuI of presumably Chris.
tian and lsw-abiding people turn oIt
and spend day in rioting and enjoy
ing a carnival of blood: The courts
were yet aside, the administrators of
justice were defed, and a man un-
convicted of any wrongdoing was
strung up by the neck and riddled
with bullets, in a fashion that for
brutality would have done credit to
savages in the interior of Africa
with apologies to the Africans for the
comparison.
AS we have said, there was no lusti-
feation for this lynching. No woman
vas outraged. The "favorite crime"
was not even hinted at. There was no
exasperating delays of the Jaw to
complain of. Had he gone to trial, he
could not have brought to bear single
technicality to defeat the ends of So
called Justice. His conviction and
execution would have followed lust as
sure as the day follows the night, and,
as far as the records could show,

The press of the country is practi-

A Association are to live, they must
change their policy, and become repre-.

anew from the ground up, and grow
to national proportions by the natural
method-by organizing local branches
who shall in turn send to the an.
nual conventions duly qualified dele
gates, with authority to act for a def.
mite constituency. Mr.. Fortune him

been adduced to insure an indictment

the debt due to civilization and order.
A horrible example would have been
registered to deter others from COM
mitting like crime, and 80 on. The
fair name of Leesburg would have
been spared blot from which she can
never fully recover, and the legal au-
thorities would have had one less in
cident to prove their incspacity to do the
things which, under tn ir solemn oath,
they are required to do,
The evil of lynching does not end
with the sacrifice of the hapless indi-
vidusl. 1t degrades the entire com
munity, and weakens the respect of
the people for the majesty of the
law-the essential ingredient in gov
ernments for the protection of the
rights of citizens. Slowly, but surely,
mob violence is eating into the vitals
of this republic, and if states are un'
willing to reach and punish the of
lenders, and the federal power is in
adequate to break up the disreputable
practice, the logical result will be
anarchy. Negroes will not submit to
arrest, to go to a certain and awful
death at the hands of an infuriated
gang of ru6ians. White men will break
the law with impunity, and travel the
country, carrying intimidation and
highway robbery in their train. If
sheriffs are afraid that overriding local
sentiment will cost them their petty po-
sitions, if juries are too unpatriotic to
uncover vice impartially, or to acquit
in the absence of adverse testimony,
and if judges are too biased to 1ender
fair decisions regardless of color, there
should be some power able to force
them to do their duty or strip them of
the robes of Office that they disgrace.
The respectable white cikzens owe it to
themselves to go to work at once to
create q sentiment against lynohing,
to preserve their standing before the
world as honest, upright people. Justly
so, England, France, Germany, and
even China are laughing at Americas
absurd pretensions to humane princi-
pies Judge Silas Hare, formerly
member of Congress from Texas tells
a great truth when he says, in this
connection:
'"There ought to be q crusade against
the practice until it is made so alb
horrent that 1t will no longer be
countensnced. A pref toward
the South, inim1cal and detrimental to
Id. will be cherished by the rest of the
world, as long as lynchings are con-
inued
This is the correct attitude of right
thinking men, and the lynching of
Craven ought to serve as text in every
mouth to denounce unlawful executions
until sentiment is so enlightened that
a participant in such high handed
crime against the state is barred from
decent society.

THE THEATRE.

Judging from the reports which
have reached this city from points
all along the line where Mr.. Hanford
has produced The Tanning of the
Shrew," all seem to lead To the one
conclusion that the theatre-gners o.
this city are going to enjoy a genuine
dramatic treat at the Illinois theatre
Sunday next. May Is. There seems to
he but one opinion and that is that
Mr.. Hanford is doing this year the
greatest work of his long career.
Mr. Hanford's reputation of the past
combined with the reports which have
reached this city should be a sufficient
guarantee of the excellence of this
attraction. The Tanning of the
Shrew' is the richest comedy of all
the Shakespearean comedies and will
afford an evening of amusement as
well as instruction. In speaking of
the comedy element of this play, one
of the papers says: THE famous old
comedy is tuned up bit. 1t is about
as much modern as it's orthodox, and
for this reason the uewlv-initiate ted
gallery god can understand and APP
preciate its witty sentences about
as we'll as the chronic boX-warmer."

will continue to be common and to In
crease in frequency until the girl IS
taught that the stability OF the general
health is founded on the local womanly
health.
A woS1AS's WEAKNESS
may be gagged by her wouIanly health.
cFenale Weakness is not a scientific
term, but it IS a popular term, express
ing the result rather than the condition
of womanly disease. Weakness must
inevitably follow disease of the delicate
vyomanly organs. Irregularity is often
the beginning of more serious ailments.
Drains that are at first considered chiefly
as disagreeable, will in the end drain
away the vigor and vitality OF women.
The prompt use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription would save many a woman
from years of weakness and suffering.
It establishes regularity, dries weaken
ing drains, heals inflammation and ul-
ceration and cures female weakness. It
makes weak women strong and sick
women well.
There is no other put-up medicine
for wonan's peculiar ills, purchasable
from dealers which has so remarkable
record of cures as DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. When physicians have
said no cure was possible; when all
other means and medicines have utterly
failed to benefit " Favorite Prescription"
has been tried and its use has resulted
in perfect and permanent cure.
cYouf letter just received" writes
Miss Rose Kilfetller, of 43 West Sharp
mack St, Germantown, Philadelphia,
Pa. vWords fail TO express how thank
full am TO you for your advice. I must
confess that for the length 'of time
have been using your medicine have
found it to be the most wonderful and
best remedy for female troubles that
ever have tried, and from now on
shall use no other. Sorry I did not
know of your Favorite Prescription
years ago, but will gladly tell my
friends who are suffering, of your won
Gs.-ful medicine. ! cannot speak too
highly Of it."
