THE RIOTING AT OXFORD, OHIO.

After their experience in Oxford,
Ohio. Joseph and Louis Spivey will
probably be very careful about how
they start another ron. Joseph's es-
cape from being lynched was about as
narrow an one as ever experienced hY
any man. 1t is wonderful that he es-
caped the vengeance of the crowd. AT
ter being strung up three times. he Is
finally rescued and spirited away by
The police. 1t seems to have been q
very humane mob. 1t is not often that
a crowd of Infatuated men beut on
iynching a man will cut him down af-
ter he has been swung up In order that
he may write a farewell letter to his
wife.
We are told that Oxford, with its
three large institutions Of learning, is
noted for it's culture and order. Al
though this is not the first iynchlng
that has occurred there the people
seemed in this case to have acted in a
half-hearted way. They were not at all
bent on taking the lives Of h two
men. Theyshad a plenty Of OppOrtun-
fly to do so before the arrival of the
officers, had they been determined that
the men should die.
The action of the negroes during the
attempts at lynching was also pecu-
liar. They were anxious to have the
white men hanged as a revenge for the
Iynchfng of a negro in the same town
about a year ago for the murder of a
white woman.
This affair at Oxford IS another proof
of the fact that the people OF all sec
lions of the country are alike in regard
TO taking the law into their hands.
Lynch law is not a crime peculiar to
any n section. Under similar cir
cumstances and conditions an Ohio
mob will be found to be as prone to
take the law into it's own hands as
one in North Carolina or any other
southern state. No longer can it be
said of the south that lynch-law is
peculiar to this section and s The out
come of the lawless disposition OF our
people. The southern people are as
law-abiding as those of any other sec
ton. n excepting for the crime of as
sault On white women are less prone
than others to take the law INTO their
own hands. and whenever they do go
to the length of inflicting the death
penalty upon a criminal there is no
savage attack upon any class of peo-
pie. as so often occurs at the north.
The guilty person is punished and
there the matter ends.

POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN OHIO.

The political situation in Ohio is said
Senator Hanna may fail of a reelection.
The republican majority in the last
election was over ninety thousand, but
it IS said that the next legislature may
be democratic. While Johnson stands
no show Of election there are those who
claim thar Clarke will have d majority
on joint ballot Of the two houses. II
the present legislature there are eighty
nine republicans and ffty-four demo-
Gratis. Il hardly seems probable that
this large majority could be overcome
and We do not look u see It done Il
is said, though, that Clarke VIII get the
votes Of many gold democrats who viii
not vote for Johnson and who for the
last few years have not been voting the
democratic ticket. The republicans are
getting uneasy over the prospects Of
losing the legislature. \ Washington
letter to The New York Evening Post
says:
The solid Cleveland delegation OF
fourteen is now democratic, and the
Cincinnati delegation of fifteen is re-
publican. No one doubts that the two
cities Will make similar returns this
time. 1t is in the neXt5grade of munic-
ipaIities-Dayton. Toledo, etc.-that the
real battle will be fought. The legisla-
tive ticket is everywhere stronger than
the gubernatOrial, because John II.
Clarke, the senatorial candidate, has
the confidence of the Old-line gold-stan-
dard element, while at the same time
the legislative ticket will get the social
istic element on the franchise issue.

ested in southern education.
The Southern Educationasl Associa-
ton has an important place to fill. 1t
offers opportunity for the full and free
discussion of the problems connected
with education in the south. 1t can
give the strength of organization to our
efforts in behalf of education. 1t will
bring together and unite the teachers
Of the south, freeing US from provin-
cialism and the that would
come from too limited a horizon. While
attendance upon national and other as
sociations should be encouraged, there
is no other association which car pos
sibly fill the place which should he held
by this association.
The coming meeting is a cruc'a. one
for the association. Of late it's meetings
have been poorly attended and q general
Indifference comes to prevail as to it's
welfare. This will lead to a speedy dis
solution of the organization. Southern
teachers canno afford to let it die. It
is needed and al be made strong and
influential. We therefore appeal 70 you
to suse o influence in its behalf.
Come to the mex meeting yourself and
stir up others to come. The committee
has fixed upon Atlanta as the pace n
December 81, 1903-January 1. 1904. as
the time for the next meeting.
We are aware that the time of meet
ing is inconvenient for some, but no
other seems available for this year.. We
ask that. if necessary, some personal
sacrifice be made for the welfare of the
association. Surely it is possible for
! southern teachers to uphold an Associa-
ton of which they may be justly proud.

1t IS certainly a remarkable state OF
affairs now existing in New York city
politics. Grout and Fornes, two OF
the candidates of the fusion party are
trying to run with Tammany also,
but it looks as if they have got TO make
a choice whether they are to be for
or against the latter organization. That
was a nice little game they had fixed
up whereby their election would be as
sured. whether Mcclellan or Low was
elected Mayor. But their plans lave
been frustrated by the f~usionists and
their names are to be taken eff the
ticket. They threaten to take the mat
ter into the courts and ask for a
damus to compel the retention of their
names on the fusion ticket. To still
further complicate matters the Greater
New York democracy has withdrawn
from the fusion party and now Sheehan
and his followers seem to be free
lancers in the political war. 1t looks
like it will develop into a free for all
fight by the day of election.
