CURRENT COMMENT.

This 1903" says the Mobile Register,
twill be known as the great flood
year. To this the Charleston Post
says: That depends on where it is
characterized. In New York and New
England it is likely to be remembe
as the great drought year, when the
forests were burned out and the riv-
ers dried up. In the Euphrates valley
ii will be known as the year of the
great earthquake. At Marseilles It will
be known as the year of the terrible
harbor disaster. In the Roosevelt fam
lily ii will be remembered as the year
of the grand tour. And Mark Hanna
will mark 1t with the double cross. 3"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: president Roosevelt had no
trouble in making an accurate dag
nosis of the rottenness developed by
the Investigations going on in the
Postoffice Department. The root of the
evil lies in political meddling. Under
all administrations of all parties the
mail service has been honeycombed
with partisanship. 1t has grown worse
with larger opportunity for graft and
favoritism at the hands of practical
adopts in that form of political en-
cheering which is especially devoted
to farming the government service for
personal revenue. Weed out the engi-
neers and there will be an end of the
plundering."

THE ILLINOIS LAUGHING.

Some of those papers which have
been particularly vicious in attacking
the South for her failure to put a stop
to the lynching of negroes are now
saying, in commenting upon the lynch
ing of a negro in Illinois last Saturday
night, that it is probable that the
South will point to that lynching as
an example of barbarism in the North.
1t may be true, OF course, that some
of the Southern papers will refer to
the Illinois lynching as proof of what
they have been saying all along, name
ly that the lynching spirit is just as
strong in the North as in the South.
and that if there were as many provo
cations in the North there would be as
many lynchings of negroes there as
there is in the South.
1t is doubtful, however, if any South
ern newspapers will refer to the lynch
ing in Illinois as an excuse for lynch
ings in the South AS far as we are
informed, there are no newspapers in
the South that approve the lynching
of negroes. When a lynching occurs they
generally condemn it, just as the news
papers in the North do. but their pro-
tests against mob law are no more eff
fective than the protests of the news
papers of the North are against lynch
ing in that section.
The Illinois lynching was not eX-
cusable from any point of view, and
1t seems that it was due rather to dis
like of the negro than to any other
thing. A man named Hertel refused
a negro a renewal of his certificate as
a teacher, and the negro, whose name
was Wyatt, shot Hertel.' He did not
kill him, and he may not die. Wyatt
was taken to Jail and the mob took
him from the Jail, beat him unmerci-
fully, shot him to death and burned
his body.
There was no doubt, of course, that
the negro would have been punished if
the law had been permitted to take it's
course. The mob, however, insisted on
taking the law into it's own hands. AS
a matter of fact, the mob spirit is just
as likely to show itself in the North
as in the South. Indeed, where negroes
are concerned it is more likely to show
itself. From certain outcroppings of
race hatred in the North recently it
is a fair conclusion that if as large
a proportion of the population was
composed of negroes in the North as
in the South, there would be more
lynchings in the former section than
there is in the latter.

THE WALL STREET BAROMETER.

1t seems to be agreed that Wall
street has ceased to indicate
the business and financial condi-
ton of the country. 1t is no longer
the barometer that indicates conditions
prevailing in New York city For sew
eral weeks 1t has been enveloped in
gloomy atmosphere while outside of its
limits there has been a very cheerful
atmosphere.
The industries seems to be prosper
ing and the earnings of the railroads
show a pretty steady increase. The
outlook for good crops, except as to
cotton, is promising and there is time
enough yet for cotton to show great
Improvement The country seems to
be going ahead and yet there is a
steady fail in the prices of stocks.
The financial experts of the Wall
street district have been trying to find
out for weeks what the trouble is;
why there is such a lack of confidence
in securities, and although they have
advanced several theories they haven't
advanced one that is generally &C.
cepted.
Conditions are so bad in Wall street
that there were rumors there on Mon
day that j. p Morgan had decided
to cut short his visit to Europe and
hurry home. 1t is probable that there
was no truth in them
Anyway they were promptly and ener-
getically denied by Mr. Morgan's part
ners, but if the situation doesn't i'm
prove it wouldn't be surprising if he
should cut short his visit. While it
is true that the banks are in first
class condition and are not in the least
alarmed over the situation, it seems
| to be the understanding that there are
financial houses of prominence that
cannot stand a much further fan in
the prices of stocks.
The real trouble probably is that
| the stock market has a bad case OF
| indigestion, brought on by an over
abundance of indigestible securities
Investors have lost confidence in many
of the securities that are offered, and
underwriting syndicates have been
compelled to throw good securities on
the market in order to fulfill their syn
dictate obligations. If conditions
throughout the country remain good,
however II is probable that the situa-
ton in Wall street will gradually be-
come better.

Too Late with the Dollar.

Hurry up with your fare, cried the
conductor of a Broadway car to a mes
senger boy with a big bundle under
his arm. says the New York Press.
'I'll give it to you in a minute" re-
turned the boy. But as he searched
in pocket after pocket his face grew
scarlet. IT'S in my other suit wrap
ped up in this paper" he explained.
None of that" interposed the con-
ductor. You'll have to get off.
"Wait a minute, conductor, and see
if he isn't telling the TRUTH" said a
prosperous looking man.
Meantime the boy, his face redder
still, united his bundle and proceeded
to rummage through the pockets of his
old uniform. At last he fished out a
nickel.
You are an honest boy" said the
prosperous looking man. Here's a
dollar"
The messenger boy looked at the dol
lar and then at the man.
Not if I know it, mister" he ex-
claimed loud enough for everybody on
the car to hear. II don't want no pay
for bein' honest. Besides you're too
late wild de coin. Wen you seen dat
guy about to put me off wy, didn't
youse come acrost wild a nickel? Keep
yer old dollar till 1 asks you fer IT.
Then the prosperous looking man
also got red in the face.

Actions and words.

Secretary Shaw tells this story of
an incident of his practice in Iowa:
An old Iowa practitioner, a lawyer
of ability and an orator of known rep
utation, was pitted against a recent
graduate in the profession in the trial
of a case before a jury. The young
lawyer had the first say, and in MAX
ing his address to the jury he took
particular pains to initiate certain
manneFisms of the older lawyer. He
carefully adjusted his cuffs before be-
ginning his argument, stroked an i'm
aginary imperial on his chin and then
rested the index finger of his right
hand along the side of his nose. These
were the habitual preliminary manner
isms of the@older lawyer, and as they
were repeated several times through
out the argument which was made by
the young man they provoked the jury
and judge to laughter.
When the veteran arose to make re-
ply he did not neglect to go through
his preliminary motions with even more
elaboration and precision than usual.
He bowed to the Judge and jury and
then began:
Gentlemen of the jury and your
honorable sir. That young man acts
like a good lawyer, but he talks like
a blamed fool
The advantage which the young man
thought he had gained in the contest
vanished in the roar of laughter which
followed at his expense.

A BRITISH PROTEST..

day the British minister at Caracas.

against the recent order of President
Castro closing the custom houses at
the ports of Orinoco and Gulf of Para.
If President Castro isn't careful he
win have warships at his doors again.
When the order closing custom houses
was first issued by President Castro it
was thought to mean that he had de-
termlned 10 cut down the expenses of
collecting the revenue, and thus the
