PISTOL TOTING.

A tlanta Journal on this topic.
To the Editor of The journal.
The Tillman murder has been
discussed as an individual case,
+ but little has been said about the
condition that encouraged the
murder and made it possible.
The case is only one of many.
Scarcely a day passed in the
south but that one or more such
crimes are committed.
Except for certain conditions
referred to the murder would
not have been committed. Till
man did not act reck1ess1y; on
the contrary, he reckoned that
his chance, for escape were good,
the general condition of things
considered. Had he felt sure a
halter would be the consequences
he would not have done it. He
felt warrented in believing that
he might commit a celebrate
murder, at day light, in the pres
ence Of witnesses, and escape
the penalty. 1t is the general
condition in the south that in
spired this belief.
~Let us compare this condition
with that of other countries e
understand it. Canada and the
city of London have each about
100000, people; and in each the
number of murders are about
the same, averaging 20 a year.
The state Of Texas has 100000
people, and is credited, says the
Chicago Tribune, with nearly a
thousand murders a year, or one
hundred and twenty times as
many per million Of inhabitants
as London or Canada. The pco-
pie are practically the same race
and condition. What makes the
difference is English law and
justice in Canada aud London
and the absence of it in America.
That of Texas is only a typical
case: the condition is practically
the same drought the south, but
little Of the northern states.
If security Of life is a test OF
civilization, where is our stand.
ing?. ..
A great hue and cry is made
whenever lynching occurs, but
that after all, is not the problem,
in some sens it is a corrective
due to a condition. The real
problem is the ten thousand
murders committed in the United
States every year, more than al
the civilized world together, with
a good share Of the uncivilizcd
1t is the general insecuriety OIL
life. The revolver in every
body's pocket, and the use Of il
on any little provocation. There
is general failure Of law and
justice; innocent blood IS crying
against,the country from every
partQf it. Mothers bringing Ut
their boys, knowing they will b(
tracked by this wolf of blood
and slaughtered through life
and perhaps struck down after

having been brought with inf
mite pains to that point.

having been brought with inf
mite pains to hat>point.
This condition has had some
discussion in the south lately:
notably from the legislature.
The press also has taken a hand.
have failed to hear a sermon
against the sel6shness and evil
passions that prompts these
deeds, although often the muir
der is committed at the very
steps of the a1tar-in or about
the church. Any agency that
strives to create sentiment
against the condition is useful.
but the strict enforcement of law
and justice will alone avail. If a
few of the high toned" people
that commit murder were now
ana then seen dangling from
ropes throughout the country,
young men would pause, and the
habit of the revolver would be-
come questionable. If the
hangman's rope is really in ev-
ldcnce there will be respect.
and even the most reckless will
think twice before he puts HIM
self in danger of it.
1t is yet possible for Tillman
to do service to his country in
furnishing such an exam pie.
His hanging alone wonld save
a hundred victcms; while his es-
cape would give new Impetus to
the reign of blood and murder.
'Tillman is boosted to be a man
Of courage.
Here is a test; it is more Sc
we're than that of striking down
an unarmed man in the streets
but If he has the public spirit
and bravery he boasts, he should
not grudgc paying the penalty
OF his crime for the good of his
country, ard the lettering of
the condition which made him
presume on the act of deliberate
murder in theS belief that he
conld escape law and justice. If
he would also use the last of his
life in warning young men a.
gainst the false pride, the selfish
ness an eVn passions that prompt
these deeds, he would have ac-
complished something to repair
the damage he has done.
The excuse Of Tillman are not
worth discussing, except as far
as they are aimed against the
of the press to criticise
and be fcar1e SIS in it's utterances.
If it were understood that an ed
ltor might be shot down with
IMMUNITY for using this liberty,
where would be the value of the
press? It would be worse gag
ged than that of the cars coun-
try. EXaggaration would not
justify a blow much less the TAX
ing Of life. They do not hurt
anybody. Or, if one thinks he
is really hurt, the law provides
remedy.
In so far as Tillman's pistol
is aimed to coerce the press,
there is double reason why his
action should be rcpudiated.

any such course as this. While fully
realizing that some more or less radical
change will have to be made, that gov
eminent does not at present contcm-
plate stopping the coinage OF silver.
The paper we have quoted from, how
ever, is undoubtedly correct in the
opinion that no ratio that might be
established could be maintained while
Mexico continues to freely coin silver
aud supply it to the Oriental and Latin
American countries. There must be
a check to this flood of silver In order
to maintain a stable ratio between the
two money metals.
American interest in this matter
grows out of the situation in the Phil
ippines, which is Of a nature that threat
n to cause a vast deal of trouble if
relief is not provided. The depreciation
Of silver has caused n heavy loss to
the Philippine government and been
disastrous to business. Undoubtedly
our government can manage this matter
and must take steps for prompt relief,
but the proposition that came from
Mexico certainly merits the considera-
ton given it by the president and sec
rotary of state. The problem presented
is anything but simple and now is as
favorable a time as there will ever be
for giving 1t attention and ~endeavoring
to find a solution.

they were travelling on passes, too.

HI TOOLER BILL.

If the so-called Tooley bill, proposing
to change the methods of app~ortioning
the school funds to the various school
districts throughout Nebraska, could be
traced down to its real source, its in
spiration would probably be found to
have emanated from the railroad lobby
infesting the legislature at Lincoln and
its purpose to be to divert attention
from the overshadowing issue of rail-
road tax Sinking. As there is neither
merit nor reason in the TOoley bill,
there should be no need of any unneces-
sary alarm over it as a to the
revenues Of the school districts which
would lose by its enactment. If the
state school fund is held in trust for
the children of the entire state. each
child Of school age has In equity the
same claim upon II, and to discriminate
between the school children in it's ap-
portionment because they happen to re-
side in different parts of the state
would be the rankest kind Of injustice.
We may be sur the clear-headed and
far-sighted members OF the legislature
will not want to have themselves
charged with responsibility for such an
outrage, not only upon the present gen.
Grafton of school children, but upon all
future generations to come So far as
concerns the question of equitable tax
alton of railroad property for municipal
purposes on the same basis as other
property within the same jurisdiction
is taxed, the state apportionment of
school money has no connection with II
whatever and each proposition will
have to stand on it's own legs.

AMERiCAN COuBsk CUMMENDrD


The German chancellor has expressed
satisfaction at the course OF the United
States in connection with the Vene-
zuelan difficulty. 1t transpires that the
secretary of state was kept informed
in regard to the German position by the
diplomatic representative of that coun-
try at Washington, receiving such in
formation in advance of it's being i'm
parted to Mr.. Bowen. This was a very
marked courtesy and showed how de-
sirous the German government was to
avoid giving any offense to the United
States.
Those who have ~endeavored to stir
up feeling in this country against Ger
many must now see their mistake and
should be willing to admit the ground
lessness of their professed belief that
Germany was scheming to get a ter
rltorial foothold in this hemisphere.
The evidence is that the German gov
eminent has acted in the most direct
and straightforward manner, actuated
by no other purpose than that of Sc
curing what she believes to be her just
claims. Carl Schurz has properly
characterized as "m~ischievous reck-
l~essness" the expressions against Ger
many which have been so freely in.
dulged in and there should now be an
end to this sort of unwarranted dis
trust and suspicion of a power that
has given repeated assurances of its
friendship for the United States, so far
as the relations of the governments are
concerned.
