LYNcHlNG is JusTIFlARLE.
Chicago Preacher Compares 1t to Old
Mosaic Law.

- SottsHdfCS IL 90 Via
Mosaic Law.
Chicago,June 30.-'I am no advocate
OF 1ynching or Of mob law, but I would
rather see a community wrought to the
highest pitch over crimes that would
seem impossible this side of hell than
to remain apathetic,'' was the declar-
alton OF the Rev. DR.. w. A. Bartlett at
First Congregational church yes
terday in a prelude on "Lynching from
Another Point of View"
Dr. Bartlett said among other things:
i nave seen SO many sermons, ed
t%torials and resolutions denouncing
iynching that one gets the impression
destroyer Of life, home and all that is
held sacred by womanhood are the race
of offenders rather than the monster
whom they destroy.
We seem to be SO absorbed with the
majesty of the term 'law'' that the
mails are those who do not wait for
egal processes : the violator of
Womanhood is the abused party.
w shudder at the torture of the
criminal who is burned, but appar-
emily forget to shudder for the limo
agony is tenfold greater han fire. This
Is not a race problem, except so far as
one race are the offenders. The white
man who commits the same crime is
just as guilty.
"The indignant uprising of a COM
munity, and some of the best men in
1t, to avenge a wrong of such awful
magnitude may be technically lawless,
but the spirit which causes the upris-
Ing Is the reflection Of a higher civiliz-
alton. There are crimes so dreadful
that the pure and the chivalrous and
the strong find it well night impossible
to endure the thought that such a de-
generate should pollute the earth bv
his presence. It is easy to theorize
about the anarchy Of mob law, but the
same hand which penned the calm ed
itorial might be h first to grasp the
torch If 1T was a mother, wife or
who was the victim.
I say that while you look at a lynch
Ing from another viewpoint it is simply
the bursting forth Of an indignation
and lothtng that will not be checked
In the old testament days they made
short work of such an offender.
"Lynchtng is certainly a bad meth
3D., and forms the habit of disorder and
makes men bloodthirsty. But if II ia
to be avoided there certainly is called
for a more sure and speedy trial of
these Wretches, who often b~razenJv
deny crime amid red tape of legal nro.
cesses, but confess abjectly when con
fronted with determined men. r. 10
useless to bring to trial good men who
rise up 10 protect their firesides, Tn
community will not bear it. IF man
object to being burned let them cease
from crimes which make a nation
sick"

& With Buckshot.

Quitman, Ca, July 1.-Sam' Johnston
md Dick Edmonson are dead as the re-
suit Of a gun play in a very ball
game played OF the Spain plantation near
this city between the Spain negroes and
those Of a n~eighboring plantation.
Johnston was one of the Spain aggrega-
tion's crack players, while Edmonson was
the umpire. There has always been a
rivalry between the negroes of the two
plantations running as far back as the
days OF slavery.
The game was very close in the sixth,
when ohnso tried to steal second. The
catcher missed the ball, but one of the
anti-Spain supporters sent a load Of buck
shot into Johnson, stopping him quickly.
Johnson was carried to one side, where he
died later while the game went on.
In the sixth a decision by Edmonson
gave the lead to the anti-Spain team,
when one of the Spain negroes fired three
pistol bullets into Edmonson, killing him
Instantly. The game then broke up in a
fight, during which both murderers es.

PARLIAMENT.
Enemies of Canal Are Reported to Be-
in Control.

IN Control.
Bogota, June 3O.-The Colombian
congress-, which convened Saturday
last, has organized. In the senate, J.
A. Velez, said to be a vigorous oppon-
ent to the canal treaty, was elected
president. J. NJ. CaIderon was chosen
president of the house. The new Off
GERS are declared. however, to be
stanch~ supporters of President Mario
quin and his government.
1t is thought to be unlikely that the
treaty will be submitted to the con-
gress r til after the arrival of the re-
mainder of the Panama deputies, who
started June IL. They are due In Bo-
gotta about June 80. The first few ses-
ions on the treaty will be secret.
Washington, June ga cop of a.
petition signed by a large number OF
citizens Of C~artagena and addressed to,
the Colombian congress urging the.
ratification Of the canal treaty has been.
received at the Colombian legation
'Cartagena Is the home Of General
Valez, regarded as n of the foremost
opponents Of the treaty. 1t is said at
the Colombian legation that among the
signers are some Of the most influential
business men of Cartagena.
Opposition Was Expected.
The Colombian congress met on Sat
urday, n until today no word hadi
been received that would give any IN
dicatton of the chance for ratification.
1t was known that some strong OPP
position had developed and it was
feared that q long drawn out fight was
in store for the treaty with a POSSIBLE
tty Of defeat at the end. The prest-
dents view of the matter was that the
negotiations for the United States to-
build a canal had rome too far now to-
be allowed to drop. He considered tina
as three different cabinets Of
had taken favorable action on the
question, n as two treaties bearing
on the subject had already been rati-
fed, the action UP to this point was
sufficiently binding to hold Colombia.
to the DEAL.
In short, while the president did not
say so. the idea got abroad that he In
tended to build the canal through the
Isthmus Of Panama, with the ~rati1ca-
ton Of the Colombia congress If pos.
sib1e, and without it if necessary. This,
firm stand no doubt has caused the.
change of feeling in favor of h rattfi--
cation Of the treaty.
Government Is Ready to Pay.
Favorable action has been antici--
shown by the action of Secretary Shaw
Of the treasury department in post
! poning his trip abroad. lie nae intend
ed to sail for Europe on July 4, but it is
understood that the president asked.
him to defer his trip in view Of the ex--
pected developments in the canal
treaty. AS soon as the ratification no

by cable, $780, 00, 900 become payable by
the United States, $40, 900, 600 to the
Panama Canal company and $40, 600, coo

nounced that he proposed to make
these payments in cash, and that he
had made arrangements for doing this
