Handling Crowd Under the License Law.

Swanton's experience in handling a
crowd under the license law showed
it can be done in an orderly, decent
manner. Five thousand strangers,
many from no license towns, were in
Swanton the Fourth of July and it was
not necessary to make a single arrest.
There was little or no bottle drinking
and very little whiskey drinking Beer
and ale was what the crowd wanted
with the result that it was simply a
good natured throng of people with no
disorder Both the friends of the new
law and many who were opposed to it
were well pleased with the result of

THE Little Rift Within the Lutte"

We do not see how any reasonable
and honest man can advocate lynchine
for any cause whatever. 1t is only an,
other form of lawlessness as fragrant as
the crime which it seeks to punish,
and while its purpose may be salu-
tary one, its real effect is much more
demoralizing to the world than cor
receive.
1t is a pity, considering the ignor-
ance and passion which only spark
may kindle to anarchy all about us,
that newspapers should see fit to advo-
cate disregard of the law, the only pro-
lection upon which the innocent, un-
Justly accused, may count
Yet the Burlington Clipper and the
Groton Times come out strongly in ia
vor of lynching under certain condi-
tions and the Montpelier Journal "will
not oppose" their utterances.
The Times says:
"Without this check we tremble to
contemplate what would be. This paper
always stands for law and order, but
when law in such cases fails to be swift
in its execution it almost invariably
fails in its Justice. We do not believe
in anarchy nor would we knowingly
further it, but may God have mercy on
any human being who comes our way
and destroys the purity of the individ-
ual. the sanctity of the home, and the
peace of the community in such
damnable manner as did the slayer OF
Miss Bishop"
And the Clipper responds:
"Welcome you are, brother Lord, to
the brigade, fast swelling to an army,
and with pleasure you are made cap
tain by order of the general. 1t takes
a long and persistent time to root up
and cast off the set ideas of the natives
of the state, but it can be accomplish
ed, and brother Lord, you can be use
ful-very useful-along this line. The
rape fiend must vamoose the state.
There are three of them in the Mont
pelier Jail at the present time feeding
on the taxpayers. Sometime they will
have their trials-sometime. The mills
of the gods grind slowly, but the Della
ware episode gives them greater mo-
mentum in Vermont.
This is deplorable example of the
habit of shallow thought, undisciplined
temper and unbridled speech. The ac-
ceptance of such doctrines as these
would be fatal to the safety and moral
good of any community. If lynchings
of one class of criminals we're tolerated,
others would soon follow and by and
by human life would not be regarded
in the application of neighborhood JUS
tice to appease the wrath of neighbor-
hood feuds and spite. The law is of no
use to us unless public sentiment holds
it inviolate. "It is the little rift
within the lutte, that by and by shall
make the music mute.
Make the legal punishment of the
rape fend as swift and terrible as may
be. But we shall not be true to the
principles and constitution of our
country if we deny to any person the
right of trial and execution by law.

Government Reports.

The late annual report Of the direc-
tor of the United States mint pre-.
pared in the main for the state by
Ex-Governor Colcord, Of the Carson
mint, states among other facts that
aside from the Tonopah mines, Nye
county has increased its yield over
that of 1900 in both gold and silver,
as have most of the real mining
counties of the state" Also that
"the building of the new railroad
through the eastern and southern
counties is causing an unusual activ-
ity among mining men. In all direc-
tions new properties are being pros
pected, and capitalists have their ex-
perts in the field seeking new discov-
cries or the purchase of old aban-
doned mines known to be valuable
under improved conditions. -

Outside Comments.

At the present time the Tonopah
district is the exposure OF the mining
world. The production of several
millions within two years from near
the surface, makes this one of the
notable mining districts of the world.
Time and development will be re-
quired to determine the lateral and
vertical distribution of the values
there stored, but it may be said OF
the new district Of Tonopah, as OF
various Nevada districts that were
similarly rich in the early days of
their career, that where so much
wealth is displayed near the surface
there is a promise of permanent
values at greater depth. Pacific

There is no mining town in the
United States that is more talked
about at the present time than Tono-
pah. In every proper sense 1t is "A
famous camp, and the fame seems to
rest upon most substantial founda-
ton. Nothing has contributed more
to advertise it than the circumstance
of so many poor men having been
made rich by it. This has been owing
to the accessibility of rich ore bodies,
and the facility with which the values
have been realized Bnt it takes

ING camp, for good sized fortunes are
frequently made in mineral pockets
that are soon exhausted
1t is not known yet how deep the
rich lodges of Tonopah extend, but it
is certain that they go down far
enough to contain enormous values.
1t is now asserted that there is TWEEN
tyfve million dollars in value ex-
posed. and this all or nearly all lies
above the five hundred foot levels of
the various mines At this depth
there is nothing to Indicate the ex-
haustion of the lodges, but on the
contrary they here show their very
best values. Therefore we must be-
lieve that they extend in their rich.
ness very much further down
1t may be a little eXtravagant as
yet to claim that Tonopah will equal
the Comstock in the aggregate of its
output, but it is entirely possible that
it may do so. A most encouraging
feature of the situation in this new
district is the number Of what APP
pear to be separate lodges which lie
in close proximity to each other In
this respect it closely resembles the
Butte district in Montana which has
already produced some four hundred
million dollars with no sign Of giving
out. But this vast output at Butte
has all come from ground having a
superficial area Of only about four
hundred acres. and no outlying dis.
tricts of any considerable value have
been brought to light. On the other
hand Tonopah seems TO be in the very
heart Of great mineral belt or zone
extending out many miles in different
directions At distances OF fifteen or
twenty miles discoveries Of great APP
parent value have been made, and it
is by no means impossible that we
may have a number of Tonopahs dur
ing the next two or three years.
In mining ventures there are al
ways elements which do not exist in
other business enterprises Never
theless it can be affirmed with every
assurance that Tonopah with its sur
rounding country has great future
before it, and this means great fu
ture for the state as whole-how
great will depend largely upon the
energy of our people and the intelli
gence with which that energy is di
rected.

If there is no Improvement in the June condition this year the report issued on July 3rd wll show decrease of Io.6 points in the condition under last year.

 NEW YORK, June 3o-A sensational break in July cotton was the feature in the cotton future market today. This option broke 56 points early In the day. while August cotton declined some 34 points in the meantime. Such a decline as this had been predicted for many days. and the realzaton of such predc- tions had but moderate effect Qn sentiment. Various stories were in circulatIsn to account for the big break. but the explanations given to account for the remarkable declne were generally rather fimsy and conservative if1- terests were naturally slow to believe in them. The most popular theory deat with dissen- tions in the ranks of the big pool in the South and that in consequence certain element in the South leaking cotton. The advices from New Orleans direct from the bull clique were directly contrary to such assumption and naturally some of the shorts rushed to cover and their buying resulted in partial recoveries from the low points Still the market con- tinued nervous and rather erratc and ftful At the lower prices for the crop deliv- cries there was a good demand and prices re- sponded well to fair buying power, The late market however, was rather quiet with un- certainty plainly in evidence on both sides of the account The foreign operations generally were without special feature and the English market closed at decline of l54l7 points for the near options. and at decline of 7d9 points for the far months. The weekly Gov ernment report showed general improvement, though the crop was still regarded as late. with some damage from rust and insects

 NEW YORK June 3o-cotton opened at Q sharp decline this morning. July losing much as 56 points and other months 7a4o points on comparatively smal dealings and no great excitement Bulls were liquidating on the theory that the advance had been ample and that a reaction was long since due to occur Cables were way down. especially for spots which showed I'd loss Despite all this. there was a special report by The Journal of Com merce showing the condition to be a shade un- der last month, which was 75 per cent. This was decidedly surprising to the bulls and if it should appear that the figures are anywhere near correct when reports come in from other sources. there can eb no doubt but the lower tendency of late must be prompt ly arrested. It Is possible after all that the crop has not improved as was supposed and making due allowance for eNaggeration by cor respondents of the newspaper referred to it is evident that they have not over-estimated the poor condition by over 10 per cent, which would still leave the condition no bette. than last year. Other crop months rallied loq2o points after the opening whie the new crop recovered al they had lost. The undertone. however was weak and trading slow. Cables were 4dI4 points lower. The weekly bureau report was more bearish than expected, but this had no effect on prices. Port receipts were estimated at 7.9oo, against l2,2oo.
