noon Prof. Frank r. Dargan OF Green

badly crushed that it had to be ampu-

: Democra1 Of Democrats.

The Hon. Tom L. Johnson, Mayor
OF Cleveland, Ono. who has just been
nominated by the Democrats Of Ohio
for Governor Of that State: is looming,
Up as national figure in politics.
Ohio is a strong Republican state,
that partys majority in the last cleo
tion being upwards Of 100000, and it
is Gn!y the most Sanguine who can
hope fJr the Cleveland mayors elec-
ton. He will give the Republicans
hard fight. however, and may pull
through enough members OF the
legislature to make that body Demo-
cratic and have Democrat sent to
the United States senate to succeed
Mark Hanna This would be the
blow that killed father, but it is not
beyond the realm Of possibilities. we
agree with the Spartanburg Journal
that in the event of JohnSon's elec-
tion he would be a strong candidate
for the presidential nomination. He
is real Democratic Democrat and is
not dOdger. trimmer or Straddler and
does not SEEK to c)nfiscatc the Re-
publican platform. He says things
that can be plainly understood and
does things that count for something
for the benefit Of the people. He
does not deal in meaningless plati-
tudes nor run with the hare and hunt
with the hounds He fights his enc
mics straight from the shoulder and is
an honest, manly man. He is an ideal
type OF the American politician and
the country would be better of with
more like nim. We wish him sue

bird that. in size, outrivals any of the
forms known to science, either living
or extinct, has just reached the chief
ornithologlst of the Smithsonian in
stitution, who regards the discovery
as one OF the first Importance. The
details thus far received are to the
effect that a scientific party explor-
ing along the eastern foothills of the
Andes range unearthed from the
strata of the tertiary age the skull Of
what they at first took to be a gigan-
tic bird of prey. but on subsequent
examination they unearthed other
parts that caused them to change
their first view and reach the conclu-
sion that the bird must have been a
water fowl. The size of this extinct
bird. which the discoveTers named the
"phorarachis." is, according to the
reports, something amazing. 1t having
been at least fourth larger than the
"dodo" of Madagascar, bird now eH-
tinct, but which until the finding of
this Patagonian monster held first
place for size in the list of birds liy-

The anger fish, half fish, half crab,
is the terror of all vessels but iron
clads that use the south seas. This
creature. which is not bigger than an
almond, has proboscis like an en-.
large gnat sting that can bore through
even sheet iron. Anger fish frequent
many of the lagoons Of the coral

On The Righ: Line.

More than 1000 arrests have been
made in Georgia during the past two
weeks for vagrancy. Ali white people
and negroes who cannot tell the
police exactly their occupations are
arrested and sent Immediately to the
chain gangs. Many negro women are
getting married to escape the law, as
married women are not arrested II
they can show husbands who &re work
ing for them. The campaign against
vagrancy was begun in the small
towns and bands of idlerS locked to
Atlanta thinking they wonld escape
arrest. Friday night the police force
here began to make arrests and over
fifty negroes and white persons we're
locked up.

VICTORY FOR ANTITRUST.

At the conclusion Of the paper, dis
cussion of the report of the committee
on commercial law was resumed. f.
H. Busbee OF North Carolina offered a
resolution providing that the report
be recommitted so far as that portion
referring to combinations was con-
cerned and that a committee be ap.
pointed with instructions to report
remedies for trust evils alleged to
exlst. The resolution was seconded by
George Whitlock of Baltimore, mem
Der Of the committee, and it was
though there would be no debate, but
Seymore D. Thompson Of New York
offered a resolution similar to the one
proposed by Mr.. Busbee, with the ex-
ception that it proposed to refer the
report back to the committee on COM
mercial law, with instructions to re-
port also on labor monoplies, muscle
trusts as the speaker termed the
labor unions. Over two hours were
spent in parliamentary Wrangling over
the resolution.
Finally a resolution offered by +. \.
JudSon of Missouri, directing that the
report be recommitted with inStruc-
ton to the committee to report rem
edies for illegial combinations, which
threaten commercial intercourse, was
adopted. This action is regarded as a
victory of the party which contended
that the subject of trusts is an appro-
ariate one for the American Bar aSSo-
citation to consider.

The Laws Delay and LynchtnS.

In significant utterance on the
alarming prevalence Of mob rule and
lynching and the remedy therefore
Justice Brewer OF the United States
supreme court renews his suggestion
made some years ago for the doing
away with appeals in criminal cases.
He points out that for a hundred
years there was nc appeal from judg-
ment of conviction in criminal cases
in our federal courts and no review
except in few cases, two Justices
sitting. a difference Of opinion on
question Of law was certified to the
supreme court. In England, he OBJ
serves, there is no appeal in criminal
cases, although question of law
may be reserved by the pres'din
Judge for the consideration his CO.
leagues. AS the Spartanburg Journal
says 'Justic Brewers accommodation
is tacit recognition Of the fact that
the courts are in ptrt to blame for
the spread and prevalence OF the
lynching mania. The constitutional
right to a speedy trial which is
guaranteed to the accused by the con-
stitution inheres also to the public,
which is the accuser. Courts are
sometimes overruled and brushed
aside by mobs for the reason that
speedy trials are not granted. Ere
uuently judges show too much tender
ness for the criminal, even when his
guilt is clear, ano too little for the
public which has been wronged in toe
person OF the criminals victim.
Criminal prosecutions fail in their
main purpose and are comparative
failures when judges regard the courts
as agencies for the punishments OF
criminals and not for the prevention
of crime. Justice, to have any deter
ring effect, must be swift as well as
sure. The present administration OF
criminal law gives too much scope to
the skilled criminal lawyer. 1t is
most difficult and expensive to convict
a criminal who can raise the money to
pay the cost Of carrying on a long and
tedious legal controversy over the
points" which a criminal lawyer Of the
first rank can always discover and
raise in his clients favor. although in
dependents of the question of his guilt.
1t is hardly probable that appeals
in criminal cases will ever be alto
sether abolished, nor is it clear that
they ought to be, since judges are
fallible, but appeals should be greatly
restricted and made very much less
common. 1t is apparent that there is
urgently needed a Judicial reform that
will permit the machinery Of justice
to move with greater celebrity and
SlreneSS.

A Timely Warning.

Right Rev. Charles H. Cotton
was consecrated bishop Of Buffalo
recently in St. Patrick's Cathedral,
where he had been rector until ap-
pointed to the See OF Buffalo. The
sermon for the occasion was delivered
by Bishop John A. McFaul. Of Hren-
ton. In his sermon Bishop McFaul
said: Public schools as at present
constituted are detrimental to the
church and the state. Eminent non
Catholic educators are gradually per-
ceiving that intellectual cultivation
has no effect in arreSting the sources
of evil in the human heart: that it al
ters the source Of evil in human heart:
that it alters the direction OF crime,
but not its amount. Teaching re-
ligion in the church and home is not
sufficient: the absence of such teach
ing in the schools is leading the youth
into Indifference and thus dechris-
tianizing America. Divorce is an
evil we must endeav)r to extermin-
ate, root and branch. 1t is the de-
stroyer of home and family, corrupt
of morals, cause aud disgrace Of
the nation. Socialism has made great
strides among the laboring classes
owing partly to the brazen display Of
luxury and extravaganza by the
wealthy ,and the conflict between labor
and capital. The bishop must con-
duct his flock along the lines of
Christian socialism, show impossibili-
ty of the panacea for ills of life. The
most modern evils spring from mans
inhumanity to man. They can be
remedied only by return to the princi-
pals OF Christianity. The rich and
poor, capitalist and laborer, must do
unto the others as they would that
they should do to them There is a
great deal Of truth in what Bishop
McFaul says OF course he is speak
ing Of large communities, where no
regard is paid to the religious training
Of pupils in the common schools.
What he says about socialism and
divorce is true to the letter, and un-
less halt is called along these lines
we fear that this country is doomed.
