DENOUNCE THE BRITISH GOV
ERNMENT.

New York, Jan 25.-At large
meeting of delegates Of the United
Irish-American Societies of New
York, presided over by Daniel F.
Colahan, tonight, resolutions were
adopted denouncing the trial and
death sentence of Colonel Arthur
Lynch as travesty on justice. The
resolution says in part:
'We desire to express our belief
that the British government will not
dare to carry out the sentence imposed
upon Colonel Lynch, and also to point
out that the action of an English court
in finding a man who had become in
due form a naturalized citizen of an
other country, guilty of treason in
England, is unjust, unfair and gross
violation Of all the conditions under
which millions of citizens had been
added to the population Of this coun-
try.
eve denounce England's 5 action as
cowardly, brutal and tyranical, and
predict that it will only serve to call
the attention of the world to the fact
that as you cannot change the spots
of the leopard, so you cannot make
the English government anything but
stupid, blood thirsty, cowardly and
cruel. -

EXTREMELY PHILOSOPHICAL.

Rev. Baten's clear and calm pre-.
Sentation of the college situation
fully answers the youthful effusions
of the editor of the Canyon City
News. The proper course now for
all to pursue is to bury the Ratchet
and cooperate in building up at
Canyon City Baptist college that
will represent the united effort OF
the entire Panhandle. In the
meantime twill be we'll for the fire
eating editor Of the News to put
curb on his zeal and not let it too
far outrun the conservative senti-
ment of his community.-Livestock

Knowing the facts in the case,
lis the Champion certainly should
by this time, Bro. Russell, in &C
cepting DR.. Baten's version of the
story, combines with that reverend
gentleman in using about the same
logic in dumfounding an antagonist
as the man once did who made
bet that he could prove that tbs
side of the river was tile other side.
Pointing to the opposite shore, he
asked, "ls not that one side of the
river?" "Yes." "Well, a river
has but two sides; if that be one
side, of course this is tie Other side. "

Opposed to our present regime of
local option are foisting upon us the
question of an election on the pro-
hibition question. ~ In administer
ing some good advice upon the dis
turbers of the "still waterS,' the
Champion continues:
"Just at this time we are told
that unity of action upon the part
of the people of Amarillo is an alb
solute necessity if We wish to stave
off financial panic and depression.
This panic, so apparent in the very
near future, may be made to pass
us by if we unite our energies to-
ward building a railroad across the

Judging from the above, unless
Amarillo gets the railroad, she will

conclusion that he had either lost
