BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 2s.-!The only posi-

Montana Is believed to lie in early action
by the Supreme Court on an appeal from

lature by which provision can be made
for the future against possible repetitions
OF such actions by alleged biasscd and I'M

Crane in the County Court. The two girls
were the principal witnesses, each telling
with unblushing precision the story of the

Lizzie Kane, the fourteen-year old wit

nodded to Assistant District Attorney
Elder, who was conducting the case for the
People, and winked her left eye, jerking her
head in the direction Of the prisoner. As

A LIBEL ON WEST TTRGINIA.

The tive/cOrespOndents who used to
write bear stories and tell of the discovery Of
prehistoric cities in out of the way places have
apparently a field for enterprise in the pre-
vailing lynching fever. few days ago a state
ment was teegTaphed from Bluetield, w Va.
that mob at Devon. ". Va, had fayed a
negro alive. Now comes THE Parkersburg
Sentinel" which tells us that "the entire story
was made out OF whole cloth" There was no
1aying alive; there was no lynching of any
kind; there was no crime committed to prompt
a lynching Simply some enterprising person
in Bluefield thought 10 make dollar or two
by telegraphing abroad a story which did great
harm to his neighbors.
The people of West Virginia are entitled to
publicity for this denial of a story which re-
fiected seriously on their character. They can
not however. blame people outside who ac-
cepted the tale at its face value. After repeat
ed instances of burning at the stake and cut
ting up of dead negroes for souvenirs of bar
barous outbreaks, this seemed only a little
more fiendish. The burnings and souvenir
hunts were unquestionably authentic. Ac-
counts of them were found in Southern papers
which took special pains to be correct. There
fore, when a local writer sends out a story of a
lynching it is, Of course. accepted.
Perhaps such stories would be accepted with
less question if fewer persons in the South
took such an attitude that of THE Balti-
more SUM-" which cyncally remarks that for
months TO come we may expect our critics in
Boston and Chicago to relate. with scOrn and
indignation. how the poor negro who had only
"mutilated a little white girl was skinned alive
'in the wilds of benighted and savage West
Virginia" Really that ''ony mutilated a little
white girl" is unworthy of the place in which it
appears. 1t is attempt TO represent these
Boston and Chicago critics as caring more for
the poor negro than for the white girl, and
in turn it tends TO strengthen the feeling that
lynching is justifable by its scorn for those
who object TO lynching. Now. the South knows
perfectly we'll that criticism of lynching does
not mean any tenderness for negro criminals.
including violence against women; for law
lessness and mob rule make an atmosphere
conducive to such assaults. Sneers AZ this de-
mand for law and order are covert encoura ge-
msllt to the mob and we regret to see them ap-
pear in paper like The Baltimore Sun"
IT Is TO be hoped that the romancer who
spread this 1aying tale will be found and can
be punished Tor sending false reports to the
newspapers which in some States is a crime.
and ought to be in all Such reports not only
harm the community which they libel but by
criminal suggestion they promote Iawlessness
elsewhere. This lynching fever seems to be
spreading. Symptoms of 1t are seen even In
New-York and New-Jersey. and all good citi-
zens should unite 10 stamp 1t out as they would

4 FOE TO THE MOSQUITO.

OF the newly suggested methods of suppress
ing the mosquito the one which deserves the
most attention comes from Washington DR.
Charles Wardell Stiles, a we'll known Zoologist,
who has been associated with the Marine Hos
pital Service for several years, IS it's author.
He is credited with having found a parasite
which is fatal TO that insect. This appears TO
be natural enemy of the latter. and no doubt
has already done it limited amount OF injury.
If the newly observed organism could be arti-
fcaly cultivated on a large scale and intro
duced into marshes and other haunts of the
mosquito, its opportunities for usefulness would
be increased. Possibly its havoc would be ex-
tensiye enough to produce a sensible effect
Precedents for thus fighting the devil with
fire are common The Department Of Agricult-
ure. for instance, has been experimenting for
several years with parasite which attacks and
kills locusts. Cultures were mixed with food
that would attract these insects, and when the
latter We're fairly infected they died. The
earlier attempts to destroy locusts by this
means were not attended by wholly satisfactory
results but more recent tests by the Ohio State
Experiment Station offer more encourag cement.
Then there was the bacillus which impaired a
deadly disease to rats. At first hand the ex-
pedent worked we'll enough. but the malady
did not spread as it was hoped it would and as
the bubonic plague spreads among rats when a
few have acquired il. Only a few days ago ii
was announced from Texas that an entomologi-
cal enemy for the weevi that Injuries cotton
had been discovered. These are only few of
the Illustrations which might be cited: and.
while not one of them can be pronounced an
overwhelming success. they show that the sys-
TEN on which DIR. Stiles has been working is not
essentially absurd.
Still. even after other naturalsts have de-
monsrated that q parasite hostile TO the mos
quito really does exist. number of practical
difficulties must be overcome before it can be
utilized The ease and cost Of cultivating il
must first be cleared up. Then an efficient meth
Cd of inOculatiOn must be found. The rat and
locust can be reached through their food, but
they live on land How can the Stiles parasite
be introduced into the Larvae of a mosquito in a
pond? Surgery is out of the question. Me-
chanical contact would probably not avail If
the Larvae would eat the parasites, that might
solve the problem. but will they? Again. on
the average. how many parasites must be de-
posted TO result in the death of a solitary
"wiggler? The mere statement of these pre-
requisites to success. il must be confessed is
dscouraging, but it is too soon TO insist that
nothing will ever come of DR. StiIes's discov-
cry

EXTENDING THE CABLE.

That is a gratifying announcement. made ap-
parentIy upon ample authority. that the Pacific
Commercial Cable Company will in the near
future lay a cable from Manila to Shanghai
thus completing its line across the Pacific from
the American continent to the mainland Of
Asia. 1t will be remembered that the company
at first did not contemplate doing this, but in
fact planned specifically not to do it; that it
should do So however. was made by the United
States Government necessary condition of its
receiving the data of official soundings and sur
geys 1t is pleasant to the company so
promptly moving to fulfil its obligation in
that respect.
At present cable communication is had with
the Asian continent by means Of a cable from
Manila to Hong Kong. The latter is a British
concern. and gives our Pacific cable connec-
tion with the whole British system in south
eastern Asian waters. and so on with Europe
by way Of the Red Sea. For most purposes
such cable connections might he sufficient and
satisfactory But there is one reason which
makes it eminentIy desirable that Ameri-
can cable shall be landed upon the Chinese
coast at the earliest practicable moment.
That is, in order to vindicate American treaty
rights against n presumptuous monopoly.
There is a European cable company which has
secured from the Chinese Government the OK
elusive privilege of landing and operating cables
on the Chinese coast for n term of years Such
monopoly is manifestly contrary to the prin-
ciple of the "open door," and is also regarded
as in defiance OF the treaty stipulations be-
tween America and China. which guarantee to
Americans in China all the rights and privi-
leges enjoyed by the citizens of any other
nation.
For the sake of vindicating the American
right to do So therefore it is desirable to land
an American cable on the Chinese coast. But
beyond doubt the doing SO will prove profitable
in other respects. Our commerce with China
and Japan is large and is steadily growing,
and its needs call for the best possible tele-
graphic communication Politically America
has a right to land her cables wherever any
other country can. Commercially she is as
much in need Of cables of her own as is any
other land. We have now our own cables con-
Meeting all parts Of olr domain save Alaska.
1t will be well to have our own cables con-
Meeting our domain with the rest Of the world
in both directions.

wise to do in relation 10 the Manhattan Bridge.
After long years of work and heavy expense,
the new dam and reservoir under construction
had fallen under such grave suspicion that
the Mayor felt constrained to appoint commit
tee of experts TO ascertain, as far as it is hui
manly possible to ascertain. the exact condi-
ton Of that great undertaking, in order that
official and popular doubts may be set at rest.
Nobody. imagine. will deny that 1t would
have been an advantage to possess long ago
the solid information which the Mayor has
sought to procure, and has just enjoined his
committee to supply as soon as possible.
Perhaps the questions to which the con-
struction Of the Manhattan Bridge has given
rise have been already settled TO the perfect
satisfaction of all the responsible authorities
excepting the aldermen. whose expert knowl-
edge is nil, whose general sagacity is not keen
and who, very likely, have no other thought
than to play a game of politics and score, if
possible, on the administration. But if Mr..
Lindenthal and the members of the Board OF
Estimate are able TO produce clear and con-
vincing demonstration of the soundness OF their
Judgment. the people would be gratiied and the
public interests promoted by their doing So

4 CLEAR STATEMENT DESIRABLE.

The matter of the Manhattan Bridge appro-
Briation has been restored to the condition in
which il had remained for many weeks prior
10 Tuesday ON that day the Board of Alder
men voted adversely to the appropriation Of
Sc $3.50 Yesterday the Board of Estimate
unanimously reappropriated that amount. The
question now returns TO the aldermen. who
have six weeks in which TO decide what they
viii do but if az the expiration of that period
they have failed 10 act upon the matter it will
pass out Of their control.
The merits of the controversy are not alto
gether clear Mr. Lindenthal is convinced
advocate Of eye-bar cables. and the fact that all
the members of the Board of Estimate are ap-
parentIy on mis- side may be regarded as Great
ing a strong presumption that he has a good
case. II is desirable nevertheless. that an au-
ihoritative statement should be made setting
forth clearly the reasons why eye-bar cables
are deemed superior 10 wire cables. 1t has
been represented that they can be made in a
shorter time. which is an important considera-
tion because of the need for the bridge But
that assertion has been fatty contradicted and
If there is conclusive evidence on either side
of the question. ii is not in possession Of the
public. On the other hand. it is said that the
eye-bar cables will cost much more. partly. per-
haps. for want Of competition; and we have
seen no positive denial OF Tnat statement. More
over. without reference to time and cost there
is a respectable warrant for doubling the in
trinsic superiority Of the method of construc-
tion TO which Mr.. Lindenthal is committed
while we believe the proposed rocking towers
are an absolute novelty Of his own invention.
Now. tnis is not a discussion from which the
public desires to be wholly excluded Intelli-
gent citizens without technical knowledge OF
the science Of bridge building are not likely TO
make valuable contributions 10 the expertsi un-
derstanding of their speciality. but they are
interested in the subject and they conceive that
they have a right TO be acquainted with the ar
guments which the experts are employing
among themselves TO sustain their respective
conclusions What are the facts as 10 cost,

of eye-Dar and wire cables. of rocking and fixed
towers? As we have said. bridge engineers Of
high repute are not agreed 70 these matters,
but on which side Is the preponderance? The
public has not been informed. bur would like

fare and credit. There Is alr,s....@- matter now

under the ban. After a century and n quarter
of independent existence. the American nation
ought to be able to celebrate its chief patriotic
festival in a way befitting humane and civilized
people rather than in a way worthy only Of
