occurred in any Southern town, SO
far as we can recollect. A reign of
terror was inaugurated in the place
and anarchy held full sway. When
the negro has provoked the sum

the fact has never been quite for
got, even when passion was at high
tide, that there were good negroes
as we'll as bad ones. but the mob in
the Indiana town, in it's mad hunt
for the blacks, talked of extermina-
tion-the ruthless wiping out of all
alike, without regard to the question
of guilt or innocence. The riot is a
companion piece in violence to the
Wilmington, Del, burning of a ne
gro at the stake, and is a further IL
~lustration of the fact that the race
question is not a sectional one.

The Retirement of Charles M. scbv.,


Think how the pristine simnlio;.
ties are being rehabilitated in +bo
business world! A year or two aoo
the commonplace virtues of s;Ion+
achievement and self-denying rao.
titude were quite out of date, On,
fnanciers were making millions in
a day through combinations and
paper increases of capital. It was
only the mossbacks who stuck to
their jobs and were content to earn
wages. Charles M. Schwab, presi-
dent of the United States Steel Cor.
poration, could be worth a million
a year to that organization and still
have time to gamble enormously at
Monte Carlo. Now we learn that
this same MI. Schwab, a physical
wreck, has been practically super
seeded, and that William E. Corey.
president of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, will virtually take his place. A
short life and a merry one! But on
the whole there are compensation8
to the slow-goers. Mr.. Schawb'8
connection with the d~emoralized ship
yards trust appears to have been due
to an instinct similar to that which
inspired his Monte Carlo exploits,
and was rather severely criticised by
Judge kirkpatrick, before whom the
affairs of that trust were brought
for settlement-the judge who de-
clared the company insolvent and
appointed James Smith, Jr., receiver.
Mr. Cchwab's case probably is tar
from being the only one. Perhaps
it is not even the only one that will
come into court. We are beginning
to learn the inside history Of the
years when "everything went" and
they don't look quite so brilliant as
they did.-Exchange.

The Big Pension Roll of a Little War.

So long ago as the first of May
nearly 10000 claims for pensions had
been filed for injuries caused in our
little war with Spain. At the rate
they have been coming there will be
half as many claims on file by the
end of the year as there were men
in the war, most of whom did not go
outside the United States. About
10000 soldiers in all went to Cuba,
and a few went to Porto Rico for a
very brief time. Disease played
havoc in a good many camps, but
only a few hundred we're wounded
in war. A total of 243 were killed
in Cuba, including those who died
from wounds.
Yet 10000 claims for pensions have
already been allowed; and, although
more than $4,000 have been rejected,
many of the remainder will have to
be put on the list. It is already plain
that the claim agent is likely to cost
us more than the war cost, for his
work will go on year after, year,
year after year. The pensioners on
account of the Civil War are now
almost as as they ever
we're; and we may expect forty years
hence the application of dependent
widows or veterans of the little war
with Spain-frQms women who are
not yet born. Already many a man
who, when the war ended, had no
idea of applying for a pension, has
discovered how easy it is both to
trace some physical ailment to Eek
posture" and to get paid all his life
for it. The scandal of it reveals a
pitiful weakness also of representa-
tive government. It is bad enough
to pay millions and millions of dol
lars wrongly out of the treasury, but
it is worse to know that so many
men who responded to a patriotic
impulse and would have been brave
in battle, lie and sneak. If there
were any honorable way to abolish
the whole pension bureau it would
be a great gain for American char
acter.-The Worlds Work for July.

 Frederick Remington. artist, author and sculptor, who spent some time at Fort Grant. may visit this city shortly on his way to old Mexico. where he goes to study the desert country and familiarize himself anew with the vast stretches of waste land which form the background of so many of his popu ar frontier sketches.
 Where did you get your idea of the typical American soldier-Of that lean. lanky, sinewy fellow whom you have pictured so many times in your illustrations?' was asked Artist Rem ington while in Los Angeles recently.
 Didn't l spend twenty years in the army? That's where I found him. And he's there yet. too. 1 used to be a reporter like. you once and when l was out on the Arizona plains I stud jed the soldier, and the cowboy, and the bronco, and-well. what's the use of talking about myself; the people know who l am, I guess. They have seen enough of my work. anyway"
 Asked if he intended publishing collection of his later drawings, Rem ington said he had recently published a book called Done in the Open" which contained some of his best work
 What do you think of the west to- day compared with what it was when you turned cowboy and stockman on a ranch in Arizona?" he was asked.
 Remington's large frame remained motionless for a moment. then his whole countenance frightened, for it was apparent that the interrogation had brought back to memory scenes of the past which are so dear to him and which were the stepping stones to his fame
 The industrial west Of today l care nothing about he said. finally. That is for the business man; the capitalist. I'm interested in the old west-historically and all that. I am here for the purpose of studying land sCapes-out on the D aims, if you please, in the most barren, the mos; desolate country l can find. We have to get out and shout at nature once in a while. you know. or We are liable to grow rusty.

to Mr.. Glenn.
The questions asked Mr.. Glenn were
such as those asked Mr.. Arthur, and all
points which the plaintiffs considered as
showing illegality in the assessment were
used in these questions. All were on the
line of the contention heretofore made,
Mr.. Glenn holding that all his acts and
that of the board were legal
The examination of Mr.. Drewry was up
on the matter of the property he sold to
Mr.. Glenn, and which made Mr. Glenn a
free holder. Mr.. Drewry's replies were
such as to show the sale to be a genuine

safety switches on Saluda mountain has
been completed and the result of the
trial was all that the officials of the
Southern could have wished, for it worked

are thing of the past. The trial of the
switches was witnessed by superintendent
Ramseur, +. E. Simpson, ID. w. Newell
and others; that these gentlemen are
highly pleased with the results of the
test is a known fact. A car was taken
nearly half a mile above the safety switch
then brakes removed and the car started
Oh its wild run down the mountain. By
the time the car had reached the switch
it had also reached terrific speed but
onto the switch it dashed and straight up
the incline until it came to stop, the
momentum overcame by gravity and the
experiment was a success. 1t is said
as the car struck the switch it did not
hesitate a moment but glided upon the
safety spur as smoothly and as easily as
though running at a moderate rate of
speed upon a level track.
