legislative Charity

From the Philadelphia Press.
In his annual address as president of
the State Bar Association, Alexander
Jr.. calls attention TO the
Legislative charity abuse. The State
appropriations for charities for 1900
1901 were S3,099,S25. These appropria-
tions are not new feature, but they
have grown 4.1S2 uper cent in the
lpast forty years, a period in which the
population has increased only III per
cent
This custom OF turning over large
Traction of the revenue OF the State TO
lprivate parties for disbursement has
grown TO be a very serious matter. Il is
wrong in principle. easily gives rise to
gross abuse. and makes the good cit-
izens who are interested in charities pa,
ltient and silent under misgovernmeni
Hest the charities which they wish tc
promote should suffer. Fifteen per cent
lof the appropriation TO charity, Mr
lSimpeon tells us. goes to a paid lobby
This is a great abuse that has growI
lup in the state and demands radical re
form. Mr. Simpson does the tSate /
good service by directing attention e
lthese oxtravagant and indiscrimnatin.
charities appropriations.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
The LYnchlng Evll
Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
In the July number of Southern SEN
timent. a bright and courageous maga-
zine published at Carrollton, in this
State. we find a strong editorial protest
against lynch law. IL happens that
.CaIrollton has been the scene of a
lynching in which the sheriff bloodily
resisted the mob and has paid the pen
.aty by being defeated for reelection.
Apart from The local significance OF
the protest, it has value as another OF
many signs that the people at large are
growing out of the lynch law period.
rhe more conservative men of the
country are urging the sufliciency Of
the legal machinery to make sure the
punishment Of the guilty, and are dis
.couraging the idea that society can only
be protected adequately by permitting
popular passion in given cases to glut
itself with blood and fire.
There are places and occasions when
the natural fury OF men cannot be re-
strained by all the laws in Christen-
dom. We have had instances in New
York, New Jersey. Ohio, Illinois, and
Kansas quite as resistless and savag,
as any that have happened in Georgia
Mississippi or Texas. The human ma.
ture that forsalIes reason and usurps
authority in one section is the same
that does likewise in another section
or in Paris or in the Philippines. In
cidents must stand for judgment upoI
their own peculiar facts and in theii
! .atrrt, a,,trfssrr, t,,a,,f
1t is a hopeful sign that the courts
are inspiring a higher confidence in
their ability to handle crimes of lynch
provoking character by taking them III
and disposing of them with becoming
lpromptness. For instance, in our owl
CITY. within six weeks OF the crimes
two men have been tried, one sentence
Ito 0e hanged and the other to be i'm
lprisOned for life.
Lynchings viii continue, doubtless, II
ultra fragrant cases, for generations t.
, come but there is surely arising
temper among the people to only suffe
such summary proceedings in cases o
exceptional horror and when the popu
lar consensus is as strong and deadl
as Niagara's flood.
Evening journal., 1902-07-05

il the character OF men and of parties
must be grounded. We need to return
to our former ideals. Tho party is not
composed of saints. but OF average peo-
pie But we want to arouse and appeal
to the conscience and intelligence Of
this people; we wish TO bring out their
best side in politics. and to do this,
to save the State from dlshonor and
the party from shame. every true man
wants to plant his feet firmly, and as
sured that truth is mighty and must
prevail

fine the Indian youth, and Then turn

by day his greatest comfort Is in an

Experiments in the use OF oil for fuel
on steamships still continue The gen
erl opinion is THAT the change will
prove n success. This will mean the
utilization OF the crude oils which are
found in such abundant quantities IN
Texas. The coal strike has hastened
these experiments, and it Is possible
that IL will indirectly be a greater loss
TO tine owners Of the mines than they
at first anticipated. The consumption
of coal for steamships is enormous
and a general change Of fuel would ma
terially lessen the demand for coal.

old. / went ont to see the country and
crossed the railroad tracks. and
saw a crowd of men and boys. and one
of them whistled to me. and CALLED me
good doggy" and so | went up to him
Then he caught me and held me while
a young man tied a beer-kettle to my
tail and then he let me go l ran as
fast as | could and they all threw
stones at me and everybody laughed. |
don't know why Uhey laughed; do you?
Well, | ran and ran until | thought |
should die. and after awhile the kettle
got caught in something and came off.
My tail nearly came with it, but / was
glad that kettle was loose. 1t was a
terribly hot day and / was so hot and
worried that my mouth was open and
the saliva was running down, and
felt that had better get home as soon
as possible
/ ran down a street, where some chill
dren were playing, and then somebody
cried. "mad+dogl" / was never so
frightened in my life. The people all
ran into the houses yelling, Mad
dogl mad-dogi" And then l saw a po-
liceman just as | turned the corner.
and he shot at me, and l had an awful
time to get home. But got a nice
drink OF water and laid in the shade
for a day or two. and then ! was all
right. The neigIhbOrs begged my ma
ter to shoot me, but ne said / was 4,
more mad than they were. which shoyl
ed that he is a smart man.
Well / got along all right for \ veal
or two until last week, when ons nigh
my master came home with dog muz-
zle, and the next morning he ,5ut it on'
me. He didn't like to do lit, but L.
heard him say it was the Law We'll. ]
wore it all day, and | concluded | had
rather be dead; ] couldn't get my
mouth open to breathe right. and
couldn't eat till it was taken off. It wor-
ried me, and made me feel like a
criminal and so one day / worked
the strap loose and got it off.
Well, felt so good that / took a run
down town, but ! hadn't gone far be-
fore 7 saw two men with great nets.
and / thought they were getting ready
TO go fishing, and so ! trotted along.
thinking what I'd have for supper.
when the first thing l knew | was in
the net and the man was taking me to
a wagon.
SO here / am at the dog pound. There
are others here, and this morning some
OF the masters came and each paid a
dollar and took his dog home. They
tell me that unless that is done in
twenty-four hours that is the end OF a
dog. My time is nearly up. and my
master hasn't come. suppose he
doesn't know l am here. and | can't

IN RESTRICTION on TRADE

The arrest of n poor colored man
who thought he would make an honest
penny by preparing crabs and selling
them to the people who wished to buy,
serves to call attention to our mon
strous peddlers' law. In this instance
the offender is an honest and indus
trious man; he wanted to turn an hon
est penny, and he prepared his mater
ials and his wife at nights helped him.
Then he went out into the streets
seeking customers for what had cost
him labor and money. He wanted to
live. and to live honestly, and it
never entered his head that members
OF the Legislature had anticipated him.
But behold he is arrested, fined and
locked up as malefactor, his mer-
chandise conhscated, and is only re-
leased when some zind-hearted man
goes ON his bond.
But this is the law, and we are told
that it must be respected. Now let us
look at the case; here is a business
from which great class of people are
absolutely shut out But fow would
choose TO engage in il, and even they
are prohibited by a fee which it is inn
possible for them to raise. And in this
case the colored man was not coming
into competition with any business
man in the city. as no one sells just
what he was selling Under this law
peddlers are virtually prohibited
hucksters are practically unknown
land a large class of persons are thrown
out Of business. Why is this neces
J lsary? IL may be argued that our mer
chants who pay license fees must b
Z protected. but must they be protecte
TO the point of prohibition of al
| traffic outside OF that which goe
through their stores? Why has not an
! man the right to sell shoestrihgs, soaI
