THE PATRIOTIC TRIBUNE.

More power 20 the Chicago Tribune.
In a clear, strong voice, expressive OF
the true American spirit, it rebukes
the South batting contingency among
the Northern newspapers and extends
the hand of brotherhood to the South.
The Tribune is q Republican paper,
but above its partisanship shines it's
Americanism.
The, man or newspaper, North or
South, who attempts to revive the an
Gent quarrel between the sections is
a traitor. Happily the class so de-
scribed is small in numbers and cir
~cumscribed in influence. Fortunately
the attitude of the Chicago Tribune
expresses the attitude of the great
a of the people. The war is over.
It was not treachery to stand by the
union. Il was not treason to fight for
the right Of the sovereign states to Sc
cede. The valor of the blue and the
gray is the glory of the nation. The
two sections have been drawn closer
together in common admiration of the
courage and high principles Of the
other, The roses Of ~fraternsl love are
poisoning where the iron hoof Of war
so rudely trod. tits a reunited coun:
try, with one flag, one destiny.
North and South have their prob
lens to solve and they will work them
out together in a spirit of fraternal
sympathy and patience, undisturbed
by the Manifestations of hate and I'M
dismayed by the threats of fanatics.
The Chicago Tribune, is casting aside
what might have been expected to be
the restraining influence of political
a~filiation, has shown that it is a great
national newspaper, imbued with 8
national spirit. 1t is a pleasing voice,
rising above the babel of sectional
murmurs and all the more pleasing
because it is the representative voice
of the intelligence and patriotism of
the North speaking to the intelligence
and patriotism of the South.-Bir-

ERA OF BIC THINGS.

We are liAing In an era Of big things
gigantic corporations, vast business
enterprises and large undertakings.
Fortunes on an enormous scale are be-
ing made, railroads extending entirely
across the continent are being merged
steamships of such proportions as
were deemed impossible Of construc-
ton a few years ago are being built
and sailed and yet we scarcely stop in
the mad rush Of these commercial
times to think of even a few OF the
wonders that man is achieving.
OF all the huge accomplishments
that are being put through those
which ercom physical obstacles
hereto regard as insurmountable Inn
press us most. When the earlier
trans- continental railroads were built
the engineering which enapled them
to cross such stupendous mountains az
the Rockies and the Nevadas was re-
garded as wonderful. But in this
dountless day the trunk lines which
much attach two Of three locomotives
to their trains to haul them up q steep.
mountain pass are rapidly coming to
be looked upon as out Of date. Com
petition must be- met and time must
be saved so that now man has turned
his attention to tunneling the coun-
try's greatest mountains.

shorten the running time over lie lines
to the Pacific coast lie expending

the fact that in this age Of big things
nothing seems impossible. This is in

THE SOY AND THE FARM.

Teachers ana farmers, teach the boys
and girls TO be honest and upright in
every sense, but by all means teach
them to work. 1t won't hurt them to
do a little farm work. send them to
college if you can. but let's keep all the
college boys and girls on the farm that
we can, and then the farmers interest
will be looked after better. We will
have better schools, better churches and
better society. Insist on trying to keep
the boys on the farm after they have
received their education. They can
keep the farm books and will lend an
air of intelligence to the town. We
need more educated people on the
farms, when we will have less boys and
girls going to the cities from the farms.

1nE souTHs BIC CROP.

While generally speaking this has
been a good crop year forthe country
at large, 1t has been particularly good
for the South,
Returns from Texas show the wheat
crop Of that state has been the biggest
and best over grown. Corn through
out the Southern belt promises more
than an average yield. Texas pro-
duces onethird Of the cotton crop Of
the United States and the latest re-
ports from the Lone Star State are
that this years crop exceeds that Of
last year, while Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, with bumper wheat crops
already gathered, will break all pre-
vious records in cotton production.
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama
Georgia and California report most
satisfactory crop conditions with large
yields Of cotton and corn in sight.
The other Southern states are also
doing we'll and experienced observers
say that when the crops are marketed
the South will be rolling in wealth and
will have money enough to push de-
velopment along all lines Of endeavor.
In view of this condition the pros
poets Of hard times should fade away,
for there can be no slump in business
or cessation in activity so long as the
farmer, who comprises the larger
part of the population, is prosperous.

LAW

Unique among all summer gather
ings is the mob conference, nov In
progress at Chautauqua. John Tenn
pie Graves, In his address before the
conference on "The Mob Spirit OF The
South, " defended lynch law as a rem
edy for certain crimes, holding that,
though lynching is a crime, 1t is justi-
fed by the crime which most often
provokes il, and will never be discon-
tinued until that crime is eliminated.
The remedy for lynching must be
the elimination of the crime, and this
TO be maintained could be done only by
the separation of the two races in the
United States.
In course of his remarks, Mr..
Graves said:
1.-THE present penalty for assault.
final as it is, appears to be made quite
through its elaboration to suppress
the crime of crimes, which is the
cause of lynching. l have argued
that the negro does not fear legal
death, and that he is not restrained by
the ceremonial process of the courts.
Is there any other penalty which
can be devised, In or out of our pres
emit Constitution which will startle
and intimidate the passions which il
seeks to restrain?
"The mob knows it's business and
the mob does It's work. And the mob
today is the sternest, the strongest
and most effective restraint that the
age holds for the control Of the mon
strous crime which 1t aVeDges.
1.-THE lynoher does not exterminRte
the rRpist, but holds him nightly in
] check. 1t is folly to protest against
this truth. With the mob there would
be a hundred assaults where there is
one. Without the mob the South to-
day would not be a place to. live in.
Thousands of vicious negroes halt IN
terror before the blazing anger and
the fiery vengeance of the mob.
"Oriminal? Yes. Lawless? Yes
Ought to be abolished? If possible
yes. But as q shear, cold, patient
fact, the mob stands today as the
highest, strongest and most potenl
bulWark between the women OF the
South and such a carnival Of crime al
would infuriate the world and precipi'
tate the humiliation of the negro
race.

from Gomela in the government of
Monghileff. 4. The disturbance arose
September II from a dispute between
a peasant and Jewish dealer. The
police interviewed and according to the
version published here the Jews threw
stones and fired on the police, several
of whom were injured. The disturb
ances were renewed three days later,
some Jewish booths being demolish-
ed. The Jews attempted to prevent
the destruction of the booths and
twenty persons were injured on both
sides. The troops then arrived on the
scene with shots from the Jews. The
military returned the fire and ulti-
mately restored order.
