A CONVENTION CITY.

The editor Of the Leadville Herald

wholesome advice in the following:
"The lesson of the accident at Tent

the field bidding for conventions, when
AZ matter Of fact, it has Eo audito-
rum worthy the name. primitive

glad to help along the movement to
make Denver, with her matchless
climate, the convention city, par ex-
cellence, Of the country, but the Capt.

tions first Of all. Some of the moss
backs down there should rid them
selves of the notion that national
convention. of whatever sort 10 kind

end of the community is to sandbag

that a circus tent aud lemonade
stand constitute an attraction for a

The Press in Porto Rico.

1t would seem that Porto Rico
now has libel law something after
the order of the one in Pennsylvania.
This law iorbids the publication of
the pictures of living Porto Ricans
without their written consent. except
in certain cases. 1t prohibits the
publication of cartoons and caricatures
which may subject any, individual to
hatred and contempt. The Pennsyl-

never be enforced, and is likely un-

there will not be the slightest diff

The Mob.

The recent spread of mob violence
througout the country. fostered by the
pattering Of pusillanimous officials
afraid OF losing votes, is menace
to society. II permitted to continue
it would inevitably lead to civil strife
or anarchy.
Responsibility for the tragedy rests
mainly upon those who permitted the
mob to possess the streets of Evans.
Vile for three whole days; but it
nuts be shared by the authorities of
other communities in which law and
order have recently been over-ridden
by mobs perpetuating crimes at which
humanity shudders. At first the
lynclllngs were confined to one part
of the country and to nergoes accused
of assaulting white women, and the
apologies for mob violence in these
cases argued that the law was slow
and uncertain and such warnings
were really necessary for the protec.
tion Of peculiarly circumtsAnced com.
munities. Grown bolder with i'm
punity and their savage instincts
whetted by indulgence. the lawless
element next began not only to kill
their victims, but to add tortures
wor.hy of primitive natives of the
CaHnibal islands. Even were the
mighty arm of the law paralyzed or
its authoritative voice silenced, as it
too often has been amid the din of
war. such horrors perpetrated in the
blaze Of twentieth century civilization
cannot be tolerated or extenuated.
However CALLING the laws delays
may ut times prove, mob rule affords
no remedy, but unspeaksbly agrga.

Uncle Sam has black list Of birds
and quadrupeds which it is absolutely
prohibited to Introduce into this coun-
try, says the Chattanooga Times. The
mongoose, the flying fox and the star
ling are on the list. The mongoose is q
species Of ferret, a native of India,
where it is domesticated as sort of
animal rat trap and snake destroyer.
It was introduced into Jamaica to get
rid of the sugar cane rats. These ex-
terminated, however, the mongoose
went on to diet off the insect destroy
ing birds, with the result that the crops
have been devastated by insects in
some sections of the island. The ami
NAL is exceedingly crafty, nocturnal in
its habits and evades traps with ease.
The flying fox, known also as the fruit
bat, is voracious harvester Of fruits
and vegetables. The startling belongs
to the crow family.
