THE NATION APPLAuOs vAROAmAN.

Those who misunderstood Var
daman in this State; who failed
utterly TO understand his plat
form; who had a wholly wrong
and erroneous estimate Of his
character and who believed his
election meant liberty for the
mob and license for all forms Of
lawlessness for four years 10
come, have been loud in their
praise and applause of his action
in suppressing the Batesville
mob and preventing a lynching
at that place. Not only is this
true of Mississippi, but it is true
of the whole country. The South
ern press has spoken in no IN
certain words of commentator,
and the Northern press is equal
ly complimentary in its allusiOn
to the new chief executive, who
by his acts has said that there
must be an end to mob violence
in Mississippi. 1t is gratifying
to the Governor 5 friends to see
the country forming a righteous
estimate of the man. The New
York Sun in discussing the cpl
sode says: 1T is a good sign
that a man with these views can
entertain and act on so sound a
conception Of the duty of the
State executive as he has shown
in this incident. And we have
no doubt he will receive hearty
support of the best element
among the people of Mississippi,
which we believe to be the decid-
ed majority"
The Chicago Tribune, a rank
republican organ, says: The
deeds of Gov. Vardaman Of
Mississippi are better than his
words. Although known as the
most extreme of the present day
anti-negrO extremists, Vardaman
at the first rumOr of a lynching
called out the militia, summoned
his staff, hired special trains and
went personally to the scene of
action. He rescued the threat
ened cOlOred man and brought
him back to the Jail at Jackson.
Mississippians may be expected
to approve the Governor 5 prompt
and courageous action, in spite
of the fact that he was put into
office on the most rabid anti-ne-
gro platform ever launched ia a
Southern State. 1t is atine decd
we'll done Furthermore, it can
not fail to secure for Vardaman a
more respectful hearing for his
views upon the negro question. .
The press and people every
where are beginning to under
stand Mississippi's new Govern
or and to know that he respects
as a sacred trust his oath of office
and that he has a wholesome re-
gard for law and order and will
exercise the functions of his high
office to enforce the same. If the
Legislature will but put the State
militia upon an effectual basis
and local authorities will cooper
ate with the States chief execu-
tive, lynching and mob law will
be at an end for four years, at
