TO STOP LYNCHING.

There is only one way lynching can
be checked-it cannot be entirely
stopped-and that is as soon as the
crime is committed to convene the
court and try the accused forthwith.
The people these days have become
impatient with q criminal Of any
kind, and there are so many Ioop-
holes in the law that they are fast
losing much of the respect for the law
that il deserves. We read in paper
the other day where a man had COM
mitted q heinous crime two years
ago The people threatened to lynch
him at the time and made prepara-
tions to that effect when the officers
of the law promised that if they
would let the law take its coursed
they would assure them that the &C
cused would have a speedy trial and
if found guilty, of which there
seemed to be no duobt, he would be
PROMPTLY executed. But when the
case came to trial there WAS something
in the way that necessitated post
ponem ent for few days and at the
next I! ial it was the same until the
case had run two years. Then the
people promptly took the man from
Jail and hanged him without law OF
ceremony, only postponing the pro
ceedings long enough to give them all
time to pray and then the prayer was
Gus short.
Now if there should come up an
other similar case in that community
the people would not give the law any
chance at all. They have but little
respect for the law. 1t is too SLOW
and too uncertain. 1t turns loose
more criminals than it hangs an(
thus rather encourages crime. 10
day were it not for the fact tina
Judge Lynch would be certain to hole
court and that there would be d.
technicality, no postponement on &C
count of witnesses, no sick or bribe
jurors, more crimes would be com
mitted. The Progress does not favo
lynch law, but there is no use t
misrepresent the facts in the case
Our criminal laws must be revised s
there will not be so many loop holes
so many sick jurors, so many techni
calitles and in consequence so man
acquitted criminals who should fl
criminal graves. A speedy trial
the only remedy for checking lyncf
ing.

MONEY IS DEFEATED.

The only daily newspaper sup
porters which Senator Money has are
those same gold bug sheets which
bolted the party and were very
vituperative against Governor Nc
Laurin whom their opp osition helped
to elect to the United States Senate.
Those same papers are now singing
mud at Governor Longino just as
they did Governor McLaurin. The
great body of the weekly papers are
FOR Governor Longino and they voice
the sentiment of the people of Missis-
sippi who appreciate the splendid adj
ministration which Governor Longino
has given the state. Five daily
| paper, that started in to support
Money have quit him and four of
them are actively supporting Lon
gino, while the fifth one has no
praise for the senator. These papers
are the Meridian Press, Hattiesburg
Progress, Vicksburg American, Biloxi
Herald and Jackson News. The four
former are zealousty supporting Lon
gino, complaining editorially when
they changed from Senator Money
that the senator had outlived his
usefulness and his record in the mat
ter of results to the people was not
comparable with that of Governor
Longino. The Evening News of
jackson, it is manifest, no longer has
any patience with Senator Moneys
irrational positions, and in fact has
said that he could have himself to
thank 70, his defeat because of such
positions. The sentiment everywhere
in Mississippi, north. south, east,
west. is that Governor Lnogino has
Senator Money defeated. The only
question which seems to agitate the

Longino's majority will be. His
friends, however. are taking nothing
for granted and are working with a
zeal born of devotion to a man who
has given the state n magnificent adj
ministration and who has beansgross-
ly calumniated by those persons who
refuse to vote the democratic ticket
at the last two presidential elections,
besides the disgruntled element which
fights every administration because

suit themselves and who are conse-
quently disappointed at their failure

1t is strange, bur nevertheless
true, that nearly every Vardaman
paper which has stated that McClurg
had come out in favor of Mr.. Yard
aman failed to say that at the same
time he declared for Mr.. Longino as
his choice for United states senator.
1t would have taken only a few more
words to have told this part of the
tory and it would neither have chang
ed the voter one way or the other.
A half truth is considered 10 truth at
all. The state ex-attorney general IA
vors the election of Mr.. Vardaman
and Governor Longino and By giving
publicity to this statement does not
in the least hurt the chances of Judge
Ortiz or Sentaor Money. 1t is only
q plain statement which all honest

The agony will soon be over and
it will be seen then which newspaper
has told the biggest lie about the ma
jority his favorite candidate would
receive. The Progress has never
stated that this man or that one
would be elected in the first primary
or in any other for the Progress does
not know and it does not propose to
lie on the instalment plan.

THE NEGRO THERE AND HERE.

Illinois is having a dose of station
ing state troops in one Of its promi
nent cities to keep down race riot.
The streets OF Danville are now
crowded with state troops to prevent
an outbreak between the whites and
negroes on account of the hanging and
afterwards the burning of negro in
the heart of the city a few nights ago,
who was charged with shooting and
killing white man. There is
vast difference between Danvillo, Ill.
and city in Mississippi. The peo-
pie here understand negro or the
negro understands the white man and
hence it is very seldom we ever have
anything like a race riot, though we
have five negroes to one in Illinois.
There are two reasons for this
The negroes know they would be
slaughtered like rabbits and all the
laws and ali this law officers of the
state and all our soldiers could not
prevent the slaughter. Another rea.
son is there j no social equality in
Mississippi and the negro does not
think he is as good as the white man
and should have the same social
rights. The southern white doctor
will give him medicine when he is
sick and in some cases he does not
expect to receive cent for it, The
southern white man will give him
money with which to build church
or to rebuild his house when it is
burned and for hundreds Of other pur-
POSES. We have seen the southern
white woman carrying something
good to eat and medicine to the old
colored woman sick in her bed and
not able to prepare food for herself.
We were never a niger in Illinois,
but we imagine that these little cour-
tesies are never shown in that state.

CRITz ON PROHIBITION

The Progress has received the fol-
lowing from Judge Critz dated West
Point. July PC;
have had numerous requests for
an expression of my views ON prohi-
bition and for that reason give out
this statement:
The resolution of the prohibition
convention asks for constitutional
prohibition This necessitates con-
stitutionai amendment, which is
lefs entirely with the legislature and
the people. The constitutional con-
vention of 1890 for visa reasons ex
cluded the governor from any jurls.
diction of or control over such amend
ments, and any interference in such
matters by him might be justly criti-
cised as intermeddling. But if such
an amendment is submitted by the
legislature at its next session and
adopted By the people, it would be
the duty Of the governor in view of
such clear expression of thu will of
the people to submit this matter to
the legislature at its next special ses-
sion for such legislation as would
carry into immediate effect the policy
thus adopted by the people at the
ballot box, and it would be the gov
ernoc's duty to approve such bill as
the legislature might pass under such
conditions.

.CUBA'S suspicious
HAVE BEEN AROUSED
People on the island Not Convinced
That the Newlands Resolution Has
Not Some Sinister Motive.

tNOt SOtftC SUUotCf tvsV'NS'
Washington, Nov. a5.-The gravity
of the South American situation is
clearly shown by the unusual impor-
tance attached .,by administrative
minds to the Newland's resolution in
viting Cuba to join the states Of the
American union. A. similar one has
been introduced periodically in con-
gress since the Spanish-American war.
SO frequent has been its introduction
and so slight the thread of sentiment
upon which it hung, that its presenta-
ton in the senate the other day al
most called forth smiles of derision.
But there had been change of SEN
timent in a very few hours. 1t is no
longer considered harmless measure.
Advices have been received that the
suspicious of Cuba have been aroused
as to the intentions Of this govern
ment A hurried conference Of the
president and his senatorial leaders re-
suited in the decision that instant and
positive disclaimer could alone prevent
the possibility of misunderstanding
with the Cuban government.
President Marraquin of Colombia, is
striving to inflame the Central and
South American Republics against the
United States. He charges that aggres-
sion Is the aim of Uncle Sam and that
other governments will be undermined
as he declares his own has been.
Heavy guns were directed at tne
Newland's resolution today. Othors
will follow tomorrow. Then it is pur-
posed by an overwhelming vote to
demonstrate to the Cuban government
and others that not only does this gov
ernment not seek annexation but that
it is utterly opposed to 1t.
