them, with explanations as to their use.
The coolies were pleased. though they con-
sidered the wheel superfiuous. They loaded
up the barrows, placed them on their
heads and marched for the dump. This
was the last attempt to Occidentalize the
East.
Foundations for the bridges were made
OF cut stone and concrete, aud this work the
Indians did admirably.
In two years the British contractors had
put up only eight bridges. or viaducts, and
the outlook was so dismal that the Amer
leans were called In. The celebrity and
cheapness Of the construction of the At
bara bridge made a deep impression on the
British government. in spite of the howls
that arose In Parliament n elsewhere.
The contract for the remaining twenty
Bridge Company at ELS (say 500 per ton in
place in Uganda.
The Americans arrived in Mombssa Dec.
II, 1901, and left Dec. 81, 1902. All the work
was done between these dates. Actually
the work in the field occupied much less
time. Mr.. Lueder took an assistant, a SUI
perintendent of construction, a cook and
seventeen bridgemen. One hundred and
nifty Indians were employed, and as many
negroes, but most of the work was done
by the famous American invention. the
travelling crane.
A few words about Uganda's future. It's
population is estimated at about six mil
lions. though IL may be much larger. The
country Is probably the richest in all
Africa. In an area about the size of Texas
there is perennial grass. and 1t is thought
by some that IL will become the best grazing
section of the world.
Indications are that the American invasion
has just egun. The returning bridge build
ers think that as the country develops there
will be al opportunity for a very large
American trade In exchange for the native
products. At present the Americans nave
every reason to be proud OF the part they
have taken In developing the country.

No Compromise with Mob Spirit.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
Charles X. Mathews's communication in
the Journal of this morning relative to
mobs and the mob spirit. is timely and very
much to the point. A man who takes part
in a mob is guilty of the worst crime in
the calendar. He is q murderer at heart
and often in fact. But the murder he COM
mits is really not the worst thing he does.
He wars against society. He is an Anar-
chist pure and simple. He is an outlaw
and Is entitled 10 no more consideration
than a pirate on the high seas or the mutt
neer on the man-of-war. He wrongs him.
self. his family and his government. A
mob Is not a revolution against tyranny, il
Is a revolt against law and order and, when
solute chaos. \ citizen who takes part
with a mob is not fit for self-government
and should be DISTINGUISHED for life. If
caught in the act and refuses TO desist he
should be shot like a wild beast. There
can be no compromise with the mob spirit.
/ am thankful that We have a LOYAL State
militia, ever ready to respond 10 the call
OF duty. They deserve the thanks OF every
good citizen.
Indiana is to be congratulated that she
has a Governor who has the good sense
and the grit TO crush out this species of
anarchy without fear or favor. We should
be thankful also for a loyal press. The
great newspapers of the country, without
regard to party, stand for law and order.
So long as this is the case we can have
hope. JOHN Il. GLOVER.

CRANKs AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Little Opportunity for Them to Gain
Access to the President.
Brooklyn Eagle.


A large sized volume could be filled with
accounts OF the doings and sayings Of
queerly-affiicted people who imagine that
they have pressing business OF one kind or
another with the President. The men who
guard the doors at the private and the
business entrances to the White House. as
well as those who accompanied the Pres
ident to Oyster Bay. are experts in the
business OF spotting cranks. They can tell
them as far as they can see them. and be-
fore they utter a word. Long experience
has told the guards that the best way TO
handle a crank is to humor him. Force is
never resDrted TO except in extreme cases
and when nothing else will answer. 1t oc-
casionally happens that the victim of hal
fluctuations is unruly and shows a DISPOSE
ton TO fight. He is accommodated quicker
than he bargains for. because every one OF
the secret service men on duty at the White
House Is a skillful boxer and can hand out
a solar plexus bunch with all the force and
dexterity OF a Corbett or a Fitzsimmons.
All of them do not wear uniforms. so that
IL is impossible for the stranger To tell a Sc
cret service man from an ~office-hunter.
Cranks have practically no chance of get
ting at the President. Here at Washington
one would have TO pass through three re-
lays OF watchers before being admitted 10
the President. A guard opens the outside
door: others are sitting about the reception
room, and one or two more are In the Pres
ident's ante-room. Every suspicious-iook-
ing individual Is closely scanned. and at the
