Governor NardamaD gave the negro
plilcs Of the North a terrible blow when
he ordered out the State troops, put
them on special trains, took personal
charge himself and vent dashing at the
late Of q mile a minute across the State
to save the life Of a negro who had COM
mitted a foul murder. He had only a
slim chance to beat the mob to this ne
gro, and no knew it.. Failure to reach
the scene in time would have caused the
negro to be burned at the stake. This
wauld have caused a blot upon his ad-
ministration and the whole State, yet if
anybody was to fail in the attempt the
the Governor was willing to be that
person. He did not trust this mission
to a subordinate. II ridieulc was to
come from failure to save the brute's
life from lawlessness the Governor was
willing to take the chances Of that ridi-
cnlc being hcaped upon himself alone.
Bat he did not fail. He is not made
Of that kind Of metal When Sheriff
Johnson, Of Pamela county, appealed to
him for assistance, he was given it as
quick as steam power could carry him
and his troops to the sccnc.
We know this proiIpt and decisive act
on the part Of the Governor will he q
great disappointment to the negrophile
press Of the North. but they had as well
prepare themselves for many sudden
shocks. Governor Vardanan is going to
do bis duty to his State and people with
out fear or favor from any quarter.
And we love and admire him because

Loaded on Flatboats and
dashed to Vessel.

One Of the largest cargoes ever handled
by a single steamboat was successfully
Unanswered down the Ohio and Miesis-
sippi rivers from Louisville. and dis
tributed below Vicksburg by the towboat
Sprague. 1t consisted of 10000 tons
OF coal, loaded in as huge wooden fiat
boats, all dashed tightly together and
to the steamer. The tow covered ar
area of five acres, and was as large as
half a dozen Atlantic liners, side by
side.
Few persons who have not actually
e the massive tows which descend the
rivers from Pittsburg to New Orleans
have an adequate idea of the magnitude
of the steadily increasing commerce
which is there carried on. or of the car
goes which are handled by the shallow
draft stern-wheel steamers.
Along the rivers of western Penrsyl-
vania and West Virginia the 1,O00-ton
wooden barges are loaded and made UP
into RATS. When the ~riyeris high enough

Willie Fitzgerald, a newsboy Of At

mice in a box down the board walk one
day recently, when a rolling chair hit
him, causing him to drop the box. The
lid few open and out jumped the mice.
The walk was crowded with hundreds
of men, women and children, and the
feminine contingent scattered In all d.
~rections. Neither direction nor the
manner of going was considered, the
women giving vent to heartfending
yells.

Ivans, who came from Pittsburg On their
honeymoon, were rudely separated.
Mrs. Ivans made off down the board
walk, and was only found after a three
hours search.
An aged invalid woman, who was be-
ing wheeled down the board walk In a
rolling chair, forgot her ailments, gave
a leap from the carriage and ran up an
adjacent emu Another woman, who.
it is estimated, weighed close to ESQ
pounds, slipped as she started to run,
and landed with all her weight on one
of the mice.

JOURNALISM is GREAT FIELD
George Meredith, of England, Says It
Almost Takes the Place of
Government.

George Meredith, the father of ron
temporary English letters, has been Civ
ing vigorous expression to his opinions
on current affairs.
Regarding journalism he said: 1T Il
most likely that practical journalists,
like practical politicians. will have to go
largely on opportunist lines. Though
most of my work has been imaginative,
| have done a certain amount OF journal
ism and l recognize its difficulties. But
1t has extraordinary power, too, and
great opportunity for fine influence. 1t
has almost taken the place Of govern
ment. 1t is true that the editorials in
nearly all the newspapers have fallen
off very much only quite recently in
power and character. don't know what
the reason for that is, but still newspa-
pers have very great influence. The
power and functions Of government are
undoubtedly diminishing. don't know
whether we shall reach the time when
there will be no government at all, as
some people hope, but certainly that is
the tendency. Tyranny, which is the
complete form of government. has been
tried and proved to be impossible. We
shall never have that again unless the
democracy betrays ITSELF"
