ALEXANDRIA, Va, October /, 1904.
The police are looking for negro named
George Reed, who is charged with attempt
ing to kill Julia Myers, alias Shirley, col
ored, last night shortly before IL o'clock at
the corner of Princess and Royal streets.
Two shots were fired, one of which took eff
feet in the woman's knee. She was taken to
the Alexandria Hospital by Officers Young
and Gill and the bullet was extracted by
Mrs. Adamson, the matron. BY the time the
officers reached the scene of the shooting
Reed has disappeared. He was seen at
distance early this morning by policeman,
but managed to effect his escape, although
a shot was fired at him. In the opinion of
the officers, after they had made an investi-
cation. the assault was unprovoked. 1t APP
pears that Reed became incensed because
he found the woman in company with an
other man. They were passing up the
street together 1t is stated, when Reed ran
out on the corner and shouted some angry
demand to the woman. He then drew his
pistol, 1t is alleged and fired twice, only
one ball king effect.

In all our national life nothing is more cOmcally
pathetic than the hope Of poor foolish people that
corrupt politicians win curb the trusts.
Every boy has read about the lion that goes hunt,
ing with the ackals keeping him cOmpany-and a
hyena or two following at q respectful distance.
The lion kills his prey, eats his fill and goes to
sleep. He go0dnaturedly leaves the head and bones
for the iackals to gnaw at. They, In their turn,
quick Of sight and hearing, warn the big animal Of
danger that approaches.
When the lion and the iackals have gone on their
way the hyena comes along and takes what is left.
His strong jaws crunch the big bones that resisted
the teeth OF the others.
What the iackal is to the lion in his hunting ex-
pedtiOns, the corrupt crafty politician is to the big
trust in It's attacks upon the people.
The most ignorant savage in Africa would never
think of asking the ackas for help against the lion
he understands only too well the iackal's deep in
terest in the lions successful killing.
And here in the United States innocent white peO-
pie ought to know better than to pin their hopes
the little political iackals But they are deceived
and made pitiiuy hopeful by the barkings Of these
creatures and their pretense Of interference with
trust crimes.
It would seem as though there we're sort of idiOey
in the minds Of the people when political questions
are discussed.
The iackal politician may have spent every day
and hour Of his life working against the peoples in
terests, selling out to corrupt corporations. But
when the time comes for him to be elected again he
has but to climb up on the stump, bark out empty,
lying denunciatiOns Of the public robbers, make
empty promises as to what he will do II elected
and back he goes into Office again, while the people
cheer and actually feel happy.
The trust managers themselves are so we'll aware
Of the professional politicians character that they
actually come to believe that theythe trusts-real
" have the public's approval and confidence.
They cannot realize that the people can be such
fools. When they hear solemn discussions as to
honesty among class Of men that live on their pay
rolls wonder they gradually come to think OF the
people IS idiots, or worse.
When the peOpleOi the United States get ready to
rid themselves Of dishonest trusts, they must begin
by Kidding themselves Of the political ackasin che
United States Senate and elseWhere-that live on the
trusts and do their dirty work
Every political body has these iackals included 10
it-egisaures, boards Of aldermen, the national
congress- and even the bench.
They are we'll known and many Of them are proud
OF their lucrative employment.
They must be weeded out first, before the serious
work Of getting rid Of the trust lion be success
fully undertaken.

added to this an exhibition OF savagery which Is
matter OF humiliation to every man who believes in
the majesty Of the law, says the Meridian Star.
There Is only one crime for which there Is a higher
law than that Of the courts This crime is that name
less outrage for which every negro guilty Of IL is
lynchedjn every respectable community both North
and South. The higher law exists because lady
who becomes the victim Of such q crime cannot 90
into court as q witness against the fend. Such
spectacle, even if q woman should be made to suffer
all that it would mean to her. could not fail to have
more demoralizing effect on the community than 3
lynching. Therefore as long as negro men assault
white women they will be lynched, but even when
this is dOne it should be after the guilt Of the party
is proven beyond the shadow Of q doubt. When It
is done it should be done by the first citizens Of the
community In quiet and orderly manner; by hang
ing the BRUTE and not by that exhibition OF savag
cry which always attends the burning Of a negro at
the stake.
The murder Of James Eastland hideous as it vas,
does not come under the higher law Of which we
speak. It was crime for which the courts are the
only place to punish the guilty that is in keeping
with civilization and enlightenment. There is no.
reason why the negroes who committed this crime
should not have been given trial. That they
would have been convicted and hanged is certain
as the fact that the murder was committed If they
had not been there would have been plenty OF time.
then for the mob to deal cut it's vengeance.
Instead OF thus showing that respect for the ma
esty OF the law, which the best interests Of every
community anu every State demands, the mob has
given upon the proud soil Of Mississippi, 8 State
whose civilization and enlightenment is as high as
that Of any other country EARTH an exhibition OF
unspeakable savagery that will have a brutalizing
effect on the entire community, and make the entire
State suffer in the eyes Of the outside world
It is time for the people of Mississippi to draw q
line in this matter. II we keep on ynching ne
grOes for murder the spirit Of lawlessness will take
root and grow, and after awhile We will lynch them
for stealing and other Offences and the cOntagion
will spread until We lynch white men, Let It be
known that there is only one crime for which men
can lynch negro and escape the penalties Of the
Law.
We need an awakening of the public conscience
which will force men to respect the majesty OF tha
Law.

The next largest mine is on Douglas Island Alaska
The yearly average OF this mine is about 600, 600
tons Of ore. Another important mine is the Port

gold mines, which command an enormous output,
and which brings them up to the front iankr These

Among the thirty largest gold mines in the world
the Transvaa has seventeen Of them, six Of the re-
maining thirteen In West Australia, three in the
United States, two in India one In Queensland an
one in New Zealand To summing up the statistics
it is found that the richest district is that Of Cripple
