THE LYNCHERs NAMED.

The action of the coroner's jury
at Joplin, Mo-, in naming the
men who lynched the negro
tramp there a day or two ago, and
who were a part of a mob that drove
all of the negroes out of the city, is
to be commended. AS rule juries In
such cases never find the guilty par
ties. They report that the lynching
was done by parties unknown, and. as
a consequence, little or no effort is
made by the officers of the law to ar
rest the lynchers.
Such was the case at Shreveport, La,
recently. A negro was caught by
mob there and lynched on the charge
that he was the person that commit
ted murder that had just been dis
covered in that city. He was lynched
without being given a chance to show
that he was not the man wanted. 1t
turned out that he was an innocent
man--in every respect a worthy man.
He happened to be passing through
Shreveport on perfectly legitimate busi-
ness.
anu IL 10 piOOdDiS lLldl very OIIen
an innocent man is lynched. The mob
does not take time to inquire into all
of the facts of a case. Indeed, most
mobs are led by those who are not so
anxious for justice as they are for a
victim. At Joplin it became neces-
sary to call on citizens to protect the
city. At one time the mob spirit was
so rampant that it looked as IL there
would be a general slaughter of negro
citizens. All of the negroes left the
city and it is probable that but few of
them will return.
There is no excuse for iynchings. The
courts are open all over the country
and judges and juries can be depended
upon TO do their duty--to mete out
even handed justice. No good comes

Personal.

I'm speaking recently on the subject
of municipal ownership Prime Minister
Balfour said: Although L am not OPP
posed to municipal enterprise, l con-
fess L sometimes ask myself whether
it is possible to view with absolute Sc
renity the extension of the municipal
ity as an employer in it's own constit-
uency."
The latest in London is told on
Marconi. At a club dinner he was
approached by an intelligent, well-in-
formed guest and asked if he would
not give the company pleasure by
playing his well-known intermezzo.
Poor Mascagni probably wishes by
this time that he had composed wire
less biography.
Senator w. A. Clark of Montana
is said to be a great admirer of a
rug for which he paid 100000 in Eu-
rope, but he admits being unable to
life. This rumor comes concurrently
with that alleging that another Ameri-
can millionaire has bought a large con-
signment of bogus curious.
The Car of Russia had a new ex-
perience the other day which proved
to him that there is such a thing as
national spirit among the common
people of Russia. AS he drove through
the streets of st. Petersburg the
crowds cheered him to the echo and
it is said that the sad-faced autocrat
positively beamed with pleasure over
the evidence of popular approval of
him. The cordial outburst was un-
doubtedly due to the recent ukase an
nouncing forthcoming reforms.

Colonel Chinn.s AIistake.

When the folding bed was still a
cago at a time when that city was so
full of transient guests that rooms
were at a premium in the hotels, says
an exchange. The colonel finally found
a hotel where the clerks apologized in
advance for the inferiority of the ac-
commodations, but assured him that
he could at least have a room. The
colonel went to the room with misgiv-
ings, and found that while it was all
right in most respects, it was, indeed,
short of accommodations.
Thinking that he might not be able
to get anything better, Col. Chinn
stayed there for three nights, and
accommodations" overcame him, and
that a bed be put into his room.
why, colonel" said the astonished
clerk, there is a fine bed in your
room"
''Show it to mel" roared the indig-
nant Kentuckian.
The clerk sent a bellboy up to the
colonels room, and there, before
Chinns astonished eyes, he evoked a
bed out of a piece of furniture.
Great snakes!" gasped Chinn. do
you know what I've been doing? When
l got here l thought the thing was
chiffOnier, but l said to myself, Well,
they are a trifle shy of accommoda-
lions at this hotel, and I'll have to
rough it, so 1 spread my overcoat on
the floor, and for three nights I've been
sleeping in that Benjamin of mine
right alongside the chiffonier!'

DEFECTS IN OUR WAR SHIPS.

We are spending a great deal of
money on the navy and doubtless we
are getting some good battleships and
cruisers. Still, every once in a while
a report reaches the public that indi-
Gates that mistakes are being made
and that great deal of money is used
IN correcting them.
We do not of course refer to such
accidents as that which occurred on
the battleship Iowa the other day

ship was partly wrecked-but to de-
fects of construction such as those
which have been found in the new bat
tleship Maine. 1t developed on her re-
cent shaking down" cruise to the West
Indies that the supports and emplace-
ments of her six-inch guns were weak
and that the structures of her turrets
were inadequate to the strain put upon
them by the firing of her big guns.
These are not the greatest defects.
however. 1t seems the boilers are I'M
satisfactory and will have to be re-
moved, in all probability. At the time
the ship was being built there was a
great deal of discussion as to the kind
of boilers that should be placed in her.
Doubtless the ones chosen were thought
by majority of those having a voice
in the matter to be the best. II the
boilers have to be taken out and others
substituted for them it will be a long
time before the ship will be ready
for service. Besides the cost of rem
edying the defects mentioned will be
very large.
1t is said the builders of the Maine
are not to blame for the defects which
have been discovered in her. They
compiled with the specifications. It
seems, however, that more powerful
guns we're put on the ship than she
was built for. Somebody must be to
blame for that mistake. The blame

THE SUGAR CANE CONVENTION.

The sugar cane convention which is
to meet in Macon next month prom
Uses to be much larger one than was
expected when it was first proposed.
We publish this morning a list of dele
gates which the Governor of this state
has appointed. 1t is a very large list
and if one-half of them attend they
will make a good sized convention
without the delegates from other South
ern states which will be represented.
- A deep interest has been aroused In
all the sections of the South in which
sugar cane can be cultivated with sue
cess, either for sugar or for syrup.
The Macon convention will still further
increase this interest. and it would not
be surprising if an impetus were given
to the cultivation of sugar cane that
would result in adding greatly to the
agricultural wealth of a large section
of the South.
If the beet sugar industry continues
to be developed in the North and ex-
pectations respecting the sugar cane
industry of the South should be real
lied, the time may not be far distant
when the United States will come pref
ty near supplying the demand of their
market for sugar and syrup.

Horses with an Eye For Business.

IT have heard of express horses that
cards that the driver had nothing to
do but get out at each stop and col
lect his packages" said the manager
of a Western express office few days
ago, according to the Philadelphia In
quirer. 1.-THE story is told that one
horse in New York had such an eye
for business that he takes in upper
stories as we'll as ground floors, and
never misses a trick. Sounds flshy,
doesn't it? Well, believe it, never
theless. The trick is done by drivers
who stop their horses in every instance
a few feet before reaching the sign or
call card of their company, and after
an affectionate pat or caress, taking
up the card and waving it at their
dumb partner. Continual association
with this same card fixes it on the eye
sight of the horse until he knows it
we'll. Finally the horse falls into the
habit of stopping at the familiar sign
as readily as the driver. Now we
have such a horse in Denver. He is
a big, intelligent bay of the name of
Dick, whom 1 purchased at Longmont
a couple of years ago. Frank Her
rick, a couple of years ago. Frank
Herrick, his driver, makes a pet COM
panion of him, 'munches' him with d
stick of candy, a lump of sugar, an
apple or the like.
Lately he has noticed that Dick
would stop without being told to do SO
every time a card was seen. First he
would go to the right and stop, then
if the next card was on the left he
would cut across and fetch up dead In
front of it, and nod his head as much
as to say: Get that package out of
that store, and you want to hurry,
too"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch
Dem.) says: "All Democrat has to
do nowadays in order to become
prominent candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination is to get elected mayor
of something or other"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
Dem.) says: 1--WE hereby second the
nomination Of Hon. Walter P. Brown
low of the Cerulean topped mountains
of East Tennessee as a candidate for
vice president on the Republican
ticket. His politics is abominable and
his partisantry is worse than his poll
tics but he is a Tennesseean and we
are for our Teller, every time"
The Chattanooga Times Dem.) says:
THE Tennessee Senate indorsing the
utterances of the Hon. Grover Cleve-
land ought to call for some strenuous
remarks from the Commoner. And,
speaking of the negro problem, Mr..
Bryan has never given a very clear
opinion of his views. Mr.. Cleveland
always did have a way about him of
thinking clearly and correctly on most
subjects, and he likewise always had
the courage to say exactly what he
thought. For that reason most peo-
pie regard him as one of the greatest
men of the day.
The Charleston Post (Dem.) says: "In
his speech on the race question Mr..
Cleveland has given Col. Bryan tough
proposition. In the first place it is so
complete an expression that the Ne
braskan cannot hope to match it in
satisfaction to the people of the South
or of the country generally and in the
second place, if Col. Bryan undertakes
to carp at it he will surely run counter
to the views of the section which alone
gave him any appreciable support in
his second, and furnished the bulk of
his votes in his first race for the presi-
dency. Yet If he doesn't touch on the
matter at all, it will be said that he
has been silenced at last by the great
ex-President. Doubtless he will fall
back on the old resort of a despairing
disputant and impugn the motives OF
his vanquisher. He will now claim Mr.
Cleveland's speech 10 be a direct bid
for the support of the South and con-
elusive evidence OF his seeking an
other nomination for the presidency"

limiting the mistakes to the smallest
possible number.
No satisfactory report. has yet been
made as to the cause of the bursting
of the big gun on the battleship Iowa.
The thought has been thrown out that
the gun was worn out, it having been
fired about one hundred and seventy
five times.
How can it be determined when a
gun is worn out? Is there any way in
which that question can be answered?
If there is the officers of the navy
