That Pineapple Fire.

"The men who in burning the calaboose at Pineapple after killing a neGo pri- soner, destroyed the business portion of the town will be severely dealt wi,h. The surrounding county is greatly outraged, ' said Monagomerian swho returned yes terday from a trip through Wilcox and Monroe Counties.
 Tt has been unfortunately true in some lynching instances in Alabama" he con- tinued, that the mob has been more or less endorsed by public opinion. But the perpetrators of this outrage, so far as l have been able to learn have no sup porters. The negro, who was killed, was hot charged with murder. He was not even charged with an assault with in- tent to murder He was accused of being an accessory In the attempt of another negro to do murder. Yet he Was done to death and the perpetrators of the crime started a fire which practically wiped out the business portion of Pineapple Men who had spent years in struggling for a livelihood had their all swept away in a few minutes.
 "'The people of Pineapple are greatly stirred over the matter. They have of fered a reward of $100 for the arrest of the guilty parties A committe of cii- zens has taken the matter up with Judge John Moore and Solicitor w. w. Quarles in an effort to have a special term of the court called to investigate the occur renee. A committee of Pineapple citizens went to Selma to see Solicitor Quarles endeavoring to have the grand jury called together at once.

GETTING AT IT RIGHT.

For a long time we have foreSeen that the day was rapidly hastening when the courts would be compelled to take Q hand in the striking business. True, it has been done already to some extent in the way of injunctions and other restraining measures, but what was needed, and what was bound to come, and what should have come long since. is proper punish ment for acts of violence and lawlessness on the part of the disorderly element among the union workers. It has reached a point where some members of the or ganized unions seem to think themselves above any law and at liberty to indulge at will in any kind of excesses. The Nashville News, discussing Chicago af- fairs, and particularly the refusal of unionists to allow a hearse and carriage to carry a corpse to the cemetery unless protected by the union label says: ''This ts the last cry of the brutal and dam gerous element of the labor union, and in going to this extreme that organization has tested the patience and federation of the public to- the last point of endur- ance."
 The limit was passed in this instance, but the authorities were apparently help less. It is a cause of satisfaction to note that a Chicago grand jury has taken up the matter in apparent earnestness, and has already indicted a number of strikers who had been guilty of violence. The in- formation leaks out that the jury is get ting but little help from the officials of the city who ought to be foremost in the effort to suppress disorder and to punish the law-breakers. It is beyond doubt ap- parently, that those officials, from Mayor Harrison down, have shown little dispo- sition to control the situation. Whatever the cause of that inaction may be, or who should bear the blame, makes little difference so far as results are concerned, whatever effect such a course may have on our opinion of the city government. It is to be hoped that the grand jury will be both thorough and fearless in its in- vestigations, and that ''the brutal and dangerous element of unionism may be punished as it deserves and the orderly, Iaw-abiding union men be relieved of such a disgrace.

OFFICIAL HONESTY.

Is political honesty and independence not expected from public servants, and especially from legislators? It is no un- common thing to read expressions like this: ''If Mir. --~- votes for that bill, or if Senator - opposes that measure, he takes his political fortunes in his own hands," In plain words, it matters not what may be the honest convictions of the Congressman or the Senator he must vote and work with an eye solely to fu- ture political honors. He may stifie his convictions. violate his sense of right and justice and stultify himself or he will endanger his future political aspirations.
 This is a degrading idea of a lawmak- er's duties. but that it is a common one is beyond question. for we are continually reading expressions such as we quoted at the outset, which indicate that a man who is in public life must govern his ac- tions by his desire for future preferment. If he refuses thus to regulate his vote and his influence he may expect to De defeated and then he will be censured and berated for his want of political fore sight. It appears to be a general belief in the public mind that a man in public life will not say or do anything unless there is something in 1t for him. That public men is of course true, but that 1t is a common one is certainly beyond question.
