It is related that during one Of his
busy reception hours, when President
Lincoln was talking first to one, then
to another Of the many who filed the
room in the White House, a gentleman
asked if any news had been received
from John Morgan whose Confederate
cavalry were raiding Kentucky and
Ohio. Well catch John some of these
days. replied Lincoln; I admire him,
for he is a bold operator. He always
goes after the mail trains, in order TO
get information from Washington. On
his last raid he opened some nail-bags
and took possession OF the official cor
respondence. One letter was from the
War Department to a lieutenant in
Grants army; it contained a captains 5
commission for him. Right under the
signature of A. Lincoln the audacious
Morgan wrote, Approved, John Nor
gan, and sent the commission on its
way. SO there is one officer in our
army whose commission bears my
signature, with the approval of that
daredevil rebel raider

The People to Blame.

The attempt to prove that the courts
are. by reason of dilatoriness leniency
and politics, responsible for the flourish
ing condition OF lynch law only succeeds
in running around circle and coming
back to the community. The citizens of
a community are responsible for the kind
of courts they have. If they have des-
picable judges they are to blame; they
are getting what they deserve.
To read most of the labored essays that
are seeking to make out that the courts
are to blame for the present carnival Of
lynch law, one would get the impression
that the judges are responsible for the
failures Of juries to convict. The truth
Is that the average jury, made up as a
rule Of representative men Of the whole
community, hesitates to convict on the
strongest kind Of evidence, and often let's
go scot free criminals Of whose fragrant
guilt there Is no doubt. The whole coun-
try has been amazed by the course Of a
| federal court jury at Montgomery, Ala,
| in disagreeing, tho Judge Jones told the
jury that it would have to convict if 1t
believed only the defendants evidence.
But such juries are common. Now, they
would not be common If the people had
healthy sense Of the duty every man
owes the state, Of the dignity of law and
the necessity Of it's stern enforcement
What can people expect Of the elected
parts of their courts If they, themselves.
when made a part of the court, and not
subject to the temptations or trials %
the judges, fail to do their duty?
Neglect, of public duty leads to viola
ton Of the law. The business man who
does not know what alderman
represents his ward in the city council
does not realize that there Is direct con-
nection between his Sinking OF public du'
ties and the bloody work Of Judge Lynch
But there is. Because he and other mer
on whom falls the responsibility Of gov
eminent In this republic have failed t
govern, species Of anarchy has resulted
and the primal instinct Of revenge super.
sedes civilized Justice. s..

MORE CARLYLE LETTERS

John Lane says he is going to publish
two volumes of Thomas Carlyle's letters
next autumn, which are new. not having
been heretofore published. Perhaps Mr..
Lane might wait a while until the public
gets somewhat over the effects Of the last
batch Of Carlyle correspondence. 1t is
a pity some of the voluminous CORE
spondence wasn't burnt up; but Thomas
Carlyle himself would never have COM
mitted it to the flames. He stopped short
when he began to tell Froude to burn the
letters, and left them all to that gentle
mans discretion, and he was so anxious
to have his hero seen from all sides and
in every aspect of his life-storrn and
sunshine, weakness and strength that he
gave everything that he got hold OF a
taste of the types. Mr.. Lane may have
picked the batch he proposes to publish
out of a forgotten drawer 1t is not known
whether there are any more Of Jane
Welsh Carlyles epistles extant or not.
Perhaps Mr.. Lane has few. There is
certainly nothing bad in those which have
been published. Plenty Of women take
anaesthetics for various and sundry pains,
and other plenty get jealous Of other
women who hang around their husbands

Australia's New Capital.

Acommittee of the Australian parliament
has reported in favor of Tumut New
South Wales, as the future capital of the
Australian commonwealth. The town has
only $500 people and is mere country
village.
Yet 1t is larger than Washington was
when chosen as the. American capital, for
Washington had nothing but superficial
area.
Doubtless the same reasons animated
the Australian parliamentary committee
that animated our forefathers when they
chose Washington. They desire a capital
that will be a capital and nothing else.
They do not wish to locate the capital in
Melbourne or Sydney, not only because Of
provincial and urban rivalries, but because
they wish to have the capital the sole dis
tinction of the community in which the
head-center Of the Australian government
is to be established. The idea is that far
away from the great cities the legislators
and the office-holders can perform their
work better than elsewhere.
It may seem strange that the Aus
tralians should locate their capital within
a. hundred miles of the coast, but it must
be remembered that there is no reason to
believe that the center of population in
Australia will ever be very far from the
coast The interior of the country is not
capable of supporting a large population.

DISCRIMINATING THE ROBIN
Philadelnhfa Pre-,

. -, AAAie1uclpuld fTeSS.
The robin redbreast and the hluehird
are doomed to determination unless some
stringent measures are taken for their
preservation. This Is the opinion of the
ornitholog1sts Of the department of agri-
culture. These favorite song birds make
their winter home in the gulf states, and
a changed condition, brought about by
the development Of industries in that
section, threatens their destruction. The
substitution Of Italians and southern
Europeans for negroes in the labor fields
In Louisiana, Mississippi and other gulf
states by capitalists has driven the negro
out and in doing so has let in the enemy
OF the small birds. It is reported that
these foreigners Wage relentless war upon
the robin, bluebird and other migratory
b1rds that winter in the south, killing
them for food, -, The negro would not
touch them, as with most Of the ,colored
people OF the south the song bird Is
sacred.
An ornithologist Of the department, in
discussing the matter the other day, said:
About all the migratory birds in the
United States and parts of Canada are
in the cold weather massed in Texas,
louisiana, Mississippi Alabama and
Florida. They are there in myriads. The
population in these states is increa sing
rapidly, and unfortunately is one that
makes no distinction among the birds.
The slaughter is awful. When thousands
Upon thousands of one species of birds
are killed here 1t is safe to say this
species Is doomed. This seems to be
| what has happened to the sociable song
ster OF the farm yard and orchard, the
robin, and even the bluebird is being shot
off the face Of the earth. Until the states
get together ana fadopt Uniform Zprotec
tive laws there will be no hope for the
preservation Of the$e BIRDS"
