AND OUR SEA PORTS.

There seems to be a great tide OF
prosperity throughout the country,
and 1t is gratifying to know that
Virginia is receiving her share. Crops
OF nearly all kinds have been abun-
dant, and the farmers have plenty
for home consumption and consid-
cradle share for the market. They
have been blessed In their farms, or
chsrds, stock yards and gardens, and
ere rejoicing In their prosperity. The
merchants have also shared in the
great blessing, especially those OF
Fredericksburg and surrounding
country, as evidenced by the busy
rush going on at their places OF bust
ness, and also by the nearly three
quarters OF a million dollars on de-
post in our National banks as shown
by the last reports. The manufae-
turers OF all kinds OF products are
kept busy, some day and night, and
their products must be carried to
market. Much OF our surplus OF all
kinds finds a market in foreign coun-
tries, and then the great West Is
sending it's abundance TO our sea
coast cities to be transported across
the waters. These facts have called
public attention TO the necessity OF
looking after and improving our
magnificent harbors. On this subject

yICEPREsIDENT STEVENSON ON
MOB LAW.

Vice President Stevenson delivered
an address at his home, Blooming
ton, Illinois, Thursday at the dedi-
cation OF new courthouse. In the
course OF his remarks he discussed
mob law and lynching and stated
that 1t was a greater menace to the
public welfare than is to be spprs-
hsnded from a foreign foe. Ofcourse
We do not at present apprehend any
danger from foreign foe, but mob
rule and lynching are among us, and
the question Is how are they to be
managed and put down? And be it
remembered that it is a question,
not only for the South to consider,
but for other parts OF the country as
veil. It has been brought home to the
people OF Delaware, Indiana and Hi
nois, and the authorities are now
eontending with it. Other Northern
States have had their mobs and
lynchings, but most OF them have de-
clined to punish them or to make
any effort in that direction. Mr.
Stevenson thinks that these evils
could be abated, il not altogether
prevented, II the courts would act
promptly In the trial and punish
msnt of criminals, and that Is the
conclusion reached by the best and
most intelligent men who have writ
ten or spoken upon the subject. This
has been tried in yirginia-in Fred
ericksburg and Caroline county
With success. The cases we have In
our mind were the most brutal and
wicked. The people were excited and
lynching was freely and publicly dis
cussed, but upon promise ola speedy
trial the law was allowed TO take It's
course, and the criminals we're de-
clarsd guilty and executed. This
a. infinitely better than lynching.
And we are confident that what sat
isned the outraged people in this
part OF Virginia would be acceptable
to the people in other parts OF the
country under similar circum-
stances. 1t IL worth trial at least
on the part of thecourts, and ifspeedy
trials fall they will have the satisfac-
ton OF knowing that they did their
duty In the matter.
