action of lhe mob is justified in the

Light punishment for mobbers would
induce the criminal not brave enough
to seek vengeance alone on his enemy
TO trump up a charge against him and
then raise a mob for the purpose of
putting him away. A better method
OF preventing lynchings would be TO
make the sheriff of the county in

and require the county to pay heavy
damages to the nearest relative Of the
victim.

PHILIPPINE Ho sTILlTIEs.

TIE KILLING of a lieutenant and six

show that some of the people in the
Philippines are not entirely satisfied
with the sort of government they are
being given. Liede prominence has
been given to the periodical outbreaks
in the islands because of the crush of

been so numerous, the fanatics" so
plentiful, that some attention must De
paid them.

their meals, perhaps more regularly.
And the United states government
must continue to send over American
soldiers for the little brown men to take
Tot shots at from ambush
We have been told again ana again
that absolute peace prevails il the
Philippines, but when a single band Of
fanatics" contains as many as 200
men and when those bands are cOa-
tinuOusly on the warpath The islands
cannot truthfully De said to De peace

coincidence IN the fact that reports IF
hostilities in the Philippines are filter

worked in 1890. It win be attempted

The origin of this tribe Of white In

the problem is rendered exceedingly
difficult in view of the fact that they
themselves have absolutely no knowl-
edge as to their early existence, and
there does not seem to be any tradition
prevalent among them concerning it,
Arguing from the fact that their COM
plexiOn is so unlike that of other IN
dams. it has been concluded in some
quarters that they are descended from
some European race, probably some
colony of ancient Rome, for their Gus
toms and manners render it extremely
unlikely that they could have been
descended from modern Europeans.

two years in the Penitentiary last Tuesday
under the name of John c. Shumway. The
prisoner was one of the three men ar

some OF the communications remind me
that a petition for pardon would be the
