The movement on the part of reputable
colored men in this city to rid it of the
shiftless and worthless negroes is attract
ing some notice. One good result of the
movement has been TO call attention to the
fact that large majority of the colored
trious and law-abiding. The fact that most
OF them are poor should not be brought
against them. Poverty is not crime. This
city. by reason of its location. or for some
other cause, has a larger percentage of
colored population than almost any other
Northern city. According to the last census
our colored population numbered 1881,
which was little over per cent. of the
total population. In Columbus, O., the
colored population is 6 per cent. of the
whole; in Cleveland it is per cent; in
Dayton it is 4 per cent; in Springfield IL
cago, per cent; in Topeka IA per cent.
The Chicago Tribune recognizes the good
motive back of the movement of the
reputable negroes to get rid of the idle and
worthless ones. but it sees difficulty in
accomplishing it. 1t says:
The local authorities cannot lawfully COM
pei man 10 clear out merely because he
is shiftleSs, idle, or a drunkard In some
respects 1t Is unfortunate that they cannot.
If all the worthless characters, both white
and black, OF Indianapolis, Chicago, or any
other city could be escorted to the boundary
line and told that If they returned they
would suffer for II, that city would be an
extremely peaceful one until new genera
ton of worthless fellows had grown up or
until disreputables from abroad had rushed
In to fill the vacuum. A community which
was able to free itself not merely of GRIM
inals but also of those who can work but
will not and are a burden upon others,
would be an ideal community greatly to be
envied, but the laws are not such to
permit the realization of dream of that
kind for a short time, even.
About all that good citizens of either race
can do is to insist on a strict enforcement
of law and the prompt and severe punish
ment of those who violate it. That policy
steadily adhered to will make any city
unattractive for the criminal classes.

derers, and the fact that they go unwhipt
of justice is an encouragement to the COM
mission of other murders. Every unconvict-
ed participant in a lynching is walking
delegate of crime.
1t is a disgrace to the country that no
person has ever been convicted and pun
ished for committing murder in the form of
lynching. 1t is a disgrace to those who
make and enforce the laws that this form
of murder has not been placed in the cate
CORY where 1T belongs, and that some hun
dreds out of the thousands who have par
ticipated in it have not been made to suffer
the penalty of their crime Another year
should not be allowed to pass without every
State in the Union enacting a law giving
lynching its true definition and providing
special machinery for its suppression IN
less something of the kind is done we shall
become known throughout the civilized
world as a nation of murderers.

TYNER AND HEATH.

James N. Tyner, former assistant at
torney general for the Postoffice De-
partment, has written sharp letter to
the President criticising him for pub
fishing to the world the statement that
he was guilty of wrong doing while in
the government service, and Perry
Heath, former assistant postmaster
general, says that he doesn't intend to
resign from the office of secretary of
the Republican National Committee In
other words, these two officials who
are charged by the President with be-
ing implicated in the postoffice frauds,
assert that they are not guilty, and
Mr.. Tyner wants to know by what
right the President convicts him with
out giving him a chance to answer the
charges against him.
There is some force in the position
taken by Mr.. Tyner, though the evil
dence against him must have been
overwhelming or the President would
hardly have dared to publish him as
guilty. True, he hasn't had a chance
to answer his accusers, and if he
should be taken before jury the
Presidents statement might have much
weight with a jury against him.
Perry Heath hasn't said yet what he
thought of the Presidents course in ex-
pressing a wish for his resignation,
but it is safe to assume that, as there
could be no prosecution of him, even
if he were guilty, because the statute
of limitations bars it, he will miss no
opportunity to show his hostility to the
President. 1t is doubtful if he could
do the President much harm, as his
influence must necessarily be limited,
but doubtless he will do him what
harm he can.
The attitude of these two ex-oficials
will, however, have the effect of weak
ening somewhat the charges which the
President promulgated in the publica-
ton which he made a week or so ago.
1t may not weaken them with the
general public, but it will give the
other parties accused of postoffice
frauds the opportunity to deny with
better effect the charges against them,
and in that way gain a little sympa-
thy which may help them at their
trials.

THE cENrRAL,s NEW OFFICERS.

Yesterday Maj. J. F.. Hanson was
elected president and Mr.. II. D. Kline
general manager of the Central of
Georgia Railway. These changes were
the result of the resignation of John
NJ. Egan as president. Prior to this
change Maj. Hanson was chairman of
the board of directors and Mr.. Kline
was superintendent of the road.
Mai. Hanson. as chairman of the
board of directors, gave entire salts
faction to the owners of the property,
and there is no reason to doubt that he
will be equally as satisfactory in the
new position to which he has been
chosen. He is a financier of recog
nized ability, and possesses business
qualifications of a very high order, He
has built up from a small beginning,
one of the greatest cotton manufacture
ing plants in the South, a plant that
is a very steady dividend payer. No
man is better known throughout the
state than he, and there is every rea-
son to believe that under his adminis-
tration the Central will not only con-
tinue to be prosperous, but will steadt-
ly increase in its earning power ~ ,
Mr.. Kline has been with the road for
many years, and he knowsrall there is
to be known about operating the prop
erty. 1t is doubtful if better man
could be found for the position to
which he has been chosen. AS super
intendent he met every requirement,
and as general manager, it is safe to
say, he will fulfill every expectation.
He knows how to handle men so as to
get the best results, and has the expert
ence that will enable him to operate
the property economically without per-
hitting it to deteriorate. We have
no doubt that under the new admins
tration the Central will retain it's pop
ularity with the people and steadily
grow richer and stronger.
