within the last fortnight three men,
bers of my race have been burned at
the stake; of these one was a woman.
Not one of the three was charged with
any crime even remotely connected
with the abuse of a white woman. In
every case murder was the sole accusa-
ton. All Of these burnings took place
in broad daylight, and two or them Oc-
Cured on Sunday afternoon in sight of
a Christian church.
These barbariOus scenes are more
disgraceful and degrading to the people
who inflict punishment than to those
who receive it.
IF the law is disregarded when
negro isyeoncerned, it viii soon be dis
regarded when a white man is con-
cerned.
Worst of all, these outrages take
place in communities where there are
Christian churches-in the midst of
people who have their Sunday-schools.
their Christian Endeavor societies and
Young Mems Christian Associations;
where collections are taken up for send
ing missionaries TO Africa and China

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 2S.-Re-
ports received from the mountains and
valley points tonight, while showing
no further fall of snow or rain, indi-
cate that the weather is still cloudy
and threatening and that the flood
situation can scarcely be said to have
improved to an appreciab BILE extent. In
deed, it is a question whether a season
of good weather might not be as diSaS
trous as continued storms, for warm
sun would cause the snow to melt and
further increase the flow of water from
the mountains into the tributaries of
the great sacramento River, already
pressing against its banks where it
has not actually broken them.
The citizens Of Sacramento individ-
ually and through the newspapers,
are expressing Indignation at the lurid
reports sent out concerning the situa-
ton here Sacramento itself has never
been in the slightest danger from the
high water. and il is assuredly in no
danger now. The river has not reached
within two feet of its levees. and will
not until it has first flooded the whole
valley clear up TO the foothills of the
Coast Range, a contingency which will
probably neve- asent itself. for the
Yolo basin is capable of carrying off
most Of the excess water. AS fully told
in The Call heretofore. the fact is
simply that there has been a bad
break in Reclamation District 535,
south of the city, and that it has
flooded probably 10000 acres of the
richest land in the State. 1t is like
wise true that the backwater from
this break, three miles distant. has
spread broadcast and would reach the
city itself and probably cover the low
or streets for foot or more, were It
not for the Y street levee, which serves
as a perfect barrier, leaving the city
itself entirely unaffected
