On the other hand, the lives of eight white
people have been sacrificed four hang in

Evansville people are awakening to the
fact that they have paid heavy price

special committee appointed as some might
say. to vindicate or "whitewash" Mr.. Logs

some Interruptions, covered q period Of
three months. during which the committee
heard a mass of testimony. much of which
bore only remotely on the matter before it.
During all this time the door was open for
the offering of volunteer testimony tend

chance to substantiate his charges or give

view OF this diversity OF opinion the Gov
ernor might well have felt some hesitation
in acting. but the Journal believes he was
fully justified in sending troops to the scene

in not sending more in the first instance.

The announcement of large surplus for
the last fiscal year is followed by a demand
for reduction in taxes. Congress should
90 slow In that matter, and can well afford
TO wait a year or two. The present surplus
IL partly due to the unexampled prosperity
Of the country and the large revenue from
customs duties. II these conditions should
change there would be a falling off of rev.
enue. and the surplus would be proportion
attly reduced. 1t Is easier to repeal taxes
than IT Is to reimpose them. and surplus
- much easier tc handle than a deficit.

WHAT RECEIVERS ARE PAID.
Real Perqusites Of Managers for
Large InsOlvent Companies.

New York Evening Post.
Ex-senator Smiths appointment to the
shipyard trust receivership has aroused
much question to what fees the services
will involve. The common notion is that
a very large sum, say 100000 will be thus
dispensed 1t may may not be so. but
the tendency has lately been rather away
from huge fees. lawyer who has been
largely identified with insolvent corpora
tons said this week:
1.-The fees OF receivers vary a great deal.

ing upon the amount or the property In
volved.
Where the property involved is situated
in a different State from the Jurisdiction a
conflict of authority sometimes arises be-
tween the receivers appointed by courts in
the different jurisdictions. In the United
States courts this conflict was settled in
the case OF the Northern Pacific receiver
ship by joint judgment made by the four
justices of the Supreme Court or the United
States who were appointed To sit In the
several circuits in which the receivers had
been appointed The rule laid down in that
opinion was that receiver OF a railroad
company should be originally appointed in
the district in which the operating offices
of the railroad were situated AS a gen.
eral proposition. however a receiver ap-
pointed in one jurisdiction is recognized in
other jurisdictions, and an ancillary order
appointing him receiver In such other juris-
dictions is usually granted without any Sc
riOus ODDOsitiOn.

Our CoIored Brother.

New York Evening Post.
Mr. Booker Washington has for some
time suffered from a certain amount OF
suspicion on the part of other leaders of
his race Some OF them. like Prof Du Bots,
have thought him too cold toward the
higher education OF the negro. Others, like
Mr.. Thomas Fortune, nave considered him
lukewarm in the matter of negro political
rights. Such MISUNDERSTANDING of a strong
and self-centered man who moves on stead
lily In his one chosen and successful field
OF work are natural; but Mr.. Washington
did much 10 dissipate them by his speech
before the Afro-American Council at Louis
vile yesterday. He powerfully struck the
note OF equality before the law for all men,
white or black. In that alone, he contend
ed, lies safety for either. The whole fabric
of our government Is imperiled when you
once permit any class or color TO be dis
eliminated against. This is simply the
Presidents doctrine of "a square deal for
the negro. Treat him like a man. Deal
with him as you do with any other citizen.
IL you pass laws TO restrict the suffrage by
educational or property qualifications, make
them absolutely impartial. and not the
hollow shams they are in Alabama, for In
stance. where every illiterate white rap
scallion Is allowed 10 vote. while thousands
of educated and Hell-to-do negroes are rob-
bed of the ballot.

When the Patient Dies.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
According to DIR. Edward Wallace Lee,
one Of the surgeons who operated on the
late President Mckinley. a surgeon should
receive more pay when the patient dies
than when he RECEIVERS. This theory was ad-
vanced by DIR. Lee in giving testimony be-
fore Referee James +. Kelly in suit in the
Supreme Court brought by DR.. James H.
Manley to recover $525 from the executor of
the estate of Bridget c. Barrett as his fee
for performing an operation for the removal
of cancer Mrs. Barrett died, and her hus-
band refused to pay the bill.
1t was contended by Jacob Marks. the
counsel for the husband that DIR. Manley's
bill was excessive, and that $50 or 500
would be liberal compensation for the serv-
ices rendered. DIR. Lee was called as an
expert in behalf of DR.. Manley, and was
asked this question:
would you consider the fact that the
patient did not live an element in fixing the
charger"
mo The fact that the person doesn't
live doesn't relieve the surgeon of his re-
sponsibility at the operation he has per-
formed nor does it In any way mitigate his
feelings, and, in fact, man should be paid
more when a patient dies than when he re-
covers"
