TO STOP LYNcHING.

From the New York Tribune
Touch the pocket nerve of the taxpayers
in every county, city, town or village in
which lynching occurs, and within a
reasonable time the courts would be per-
mitted in every part of the United States
to deal with criminals in proper and or
derby ways. II every state would pass
a law imposing an extremely heavy fine
upon any community In which the Of
Tense of lynching was committed, and
would enact effective measures for the
collection of such fines, mob murders
would be few and far between.

PhiIoIooy the Key.

Frank Deedmeyer, the lawyer. is a
his occasional contributions TO the press
indicate. He was born IN Germany but
came to this country when he was IA
years of age. He is a man Of fine clas-
steal education. and before leaving the
Fatherland had made much progress in
the study of the ancient and modern
languages.
"Philo1ogy," observed Mr.. Deedmeyer
yesterday, 'ls not only useful but highly
interesting. 1t is not a purely specula-
tive science, as some laymen might think.
It has ereat practical value. 1t furnishes
the only reliable key by which the
period anterior to authentic history can
be unlocked.
''Philology establishes beyond any
doubt the relationship of the different
races to each other 1t shows us how
our ancestors lived many thousands of
years before they left their common
home in Asia. This science Is especially
useful to the historian and to the ethno-
logist To prosecute the study of phil
ology a thorough knowledge of a large
number of languages Is not indispehsa-
Bile Many interesting comparisons can
be made, and much useful information
collected, by those who know, besides
the principal Sanswrit roots, two or three
of the chief languages belonging to the
Aryan family.
81 hold that the rudiments of COM
paratfve philology should be taught in
the high schools. Such study would ena-
BILE the expanding mind to get better
idea Of mans habits and doings in pre-
historic times and of the relations of the
races to each other than can be gained
from any other source"

Like Gladstone, the Conservative
Salisbury became four times Prime
Minister, but the latter's entire service
ran to nearly fourteen years, whereas
Gladstone's service at the head of the
government did not much exceed
twelve years.
Unlike Gladstone, the statesman who
has just resigned office was not great
~ inclined to the consideration of do
nestle problems. He was at home in
handling foreign questions, and during
the greater part Of his long service he
Nheld the foreign secretaryship. Per
haps England never had a more cap
able or skiliful minister for foreign
affairs, and the vast British empire
has prospered in his hands.
The last general election took place
in September, 1900, and another need
not be held until 1907. In the last
general election the Unionists. led by
Lord Salisbury, secured a majority OF
1874 in the Commons and this great
vote stands unimpaired today. This
is the best tribute that can be paid tC
Lord Salisbury. Unlike Mr. Gladstone
he was not voted out of office.

Washington, March 25.-May 20.

over the island OF Cuba to its people
The change of date was made, if not at
the suggestion, then with the full aD.

advisers. This date should be a mem
orabe one in Cuban history, for it will
not only mark the acquisition of full in
dependence, but will be the Cuban in
auguration day, it having been deter.
mined that President Palma shall be in
augurated on the same day that Aneri-
can control of the island ceases. The
hrst Cuban congress will be convened
ten days in advance, in order to suppl,
any legislation necessary to assumption
OF full powers in the island. The evacu.
alton OF the island by the United States
contingent, civil and military, will be
complete, with the exception Of several
coast defense points, which will be
garrisOned by United States troops.
