4 FIGHT FoR CIVILIZATION.

We rarely are called upon 10 comment upon
some lynching horror in tie South and urge for
the sake OF our common country and white civil
izati0n that tendencies toward baTbarism be re-
pressed but that some Of our Southern CON
IemporGrcs persist in misunderstanding us, in
constituting our derunciation of lynching and the
display by nobs Of lendish passion as an At
tack upon the South. We have often given as
surance that such IS not our spirit With equal
earnestness we have denounced the lynching
mania when il manifested itself right here in
New-Eork Our only purpose is TO encourage
the Law abiding elements everywhere. 10 arouse
The indifferent and make them realize the pro-
GreSSive evil OF THIS crime. SO when we have
dwelt upon the horror Of setting white girl TO
fastening a moose on a negro who had attacked
ner and said that such deeds were not con-
sisteat with Southern chivalry. It was with
real admiration OF Southern chiyalry and with
the desire that everything noble IN Southern
feeling might realize the danger 10 its ideals in
the lynchins spirit which has been allowed a
grow up in this country and might do WORK
whlch II alone could do Tor our national saliva

Not from any feeling of sectional prejudice
have we spoken, not from any hatred Of the
South, but entirely from hatred OF that savage

breast Which, whenever il manifests itself. mon.

COCHR4NE HEREDITY-

The announcement that Lord Dundonald is
going into politics and will seek entry into the
Canadian Parliament adds another feature 70
an uncommony interesting set Of condolences.
which can scarcely avoid aSCribing 10 hered-
ity. Lord Dundon0ld is the grandson of that
jllustrious Dundonald who was in his own time
second only TO Nelson as 4 sea fighter and who
ranks among the greatest captains of all time
Now, that great Dundonald. or Cochrane as he
was and is best known. was not only mighty
warrior; he an accomplished scientist. a
shrewd inventor, an earnest reformer and.
withal, man Of peppery and combative dis.
position. He was continually getting into hot
water. and he went into politics and sought
seat in Parliament in order 10 vindicate him
self against his foes-in which attempt al self
vindication he sadly failed. having 10 wait in
tedious exile the slow processes of uGSympa-
thetic time. We may add that his father he
fore him a great inventor, too. and that his
father before him, in turn. was no less peppery
and pugnaciOuS in temperament than the
famous admiral
Now. the present Lord Dundonald has shown
himself, along the Nile and in South Africa
70 be an uncommonly gallant fighter, quite
worthy TO be the grandson of ''Almirante Coch-
rane.' He has also shown himself to he
clever inventor In the last few wc~1s, in his
blunt speech and the ensuing controversy over
the Canadian militia. he has shown something
OF his grandsires reforming zeal and his capac-
ity for getting into strife. Like his grand
father, he has suffered official rehuke where he
deemed himself entitled TO Communications
Now, TO continue the parallel. he is said to be
going into politics. so that from the floor of
Parliament he can answer his critics and foes
in the department. 1t is an mcOmmonly in
terestins episode, the further development of
which will be watched with intentness and
with hope that the present earls political ca
reer will be more prosperous than that OF his
famous ancestor.

SUITS OVER DISASTERS.

1t is not easy to understand why The United
States Congress passed law permitting the
owners Of vessels under it's Jurisdiction TO limit
in certain cases the amount Of damages which
might be recovered in actions at law to a total
not exceeding the value of the hulls of craft
which have been wrecked or been made worth
less by collision or fire. The officers OF the com
pany to which the General Slocum belonged are
unwilling to pay an aggregate of more than
$4,000 to the survivors OF the excursion boat
and to relatives of the dead who NAV have
claims against them
This Is matter for the legal tribunals 10 de-
eide but many persons believe that Congress
shouId repeai THIS law at its next session. Rail.

dainty lighted In many cases there seems 10
be a superfuity of illumination. Over on Long
Island there are countless miles OF farm lahu
and pastures that are about as brilliantly lliuInl-
mated are the avenues and parks OF Man
haitian. 1t may he that such illumination pro-
notes the growth OF cabbages and potatoes
That, however. is q subject which pertains 10
our agricultural department and which we shaii
not discuss here, save TO say that If the farmers
are thus benefited, they should themselves pro-
vide the light. just as they do seed and fertllz-
ers, and not expect the city to do it. We can
conceive. too. that such profuse employment or
gas and electricity may increase the profits OF
the purveyors Of those commodities, but, again.
that is not a legitimate aim Of public expendi-
turc.

to-day the suggestive spectacle of a city of

spend $4,000 or $4,000 to mark its streets and
thus redeem itself from barbarism
