l Attracting attention, as on a timely subject and on its merits, is an article
 lin the August number of the Yale Re-
 yiew by J. E. Cutler. of Wellesley Col
 lege, on Proposed Remedies for Lynch ling" Mir. Cutler reviews the remedies proposed and the results of action un- Eder them, wherever such action has
 been taken. It was not until about fif- Eteen years ago that public attention be- fgan to center about this grave evil and that remedies were proposed. Reform measures were suggested by the gover- Enors in several southern States in 1894. Cases of lynchings had become so nu- |merous in the early nineties as to ex- cite comment, not only here. but in for Eeign countries. In some cases lynch Eings were advertised as show events. In Paris, Texas, on one occasion excur- Esion trains were run to enable the peo- Eple from the surrounding country to witness and gloat over the horrible sspectaele of the public burning of a ne- Igro MT. Cutler traverses the whole subject of lynching in his paper, and towards the conclusion remarks that 'lynchlng as crime against society is |not yet distinguished from lynching as the justiffable infiictien of a deserved punishment by private citizens" This
 remark by Mr. Cutler most clearly states the situation and shows how lit- tie in the way of reform has been done. Tt is apparent to all who read the news papers that lynching, if no longer a popular form of amusement, is as prev |alent as ever, particularly in southern States. MT. Cutters summing up is as
 follows: No single statute can be en- acted which will put an end to the
 practice of lynching, nor is it likely that |any single measure can be adopted which will effectually suppress lynch ling. Every measure which will tend to Iinvalidate the excuses offered for the adoption of lynch law procedure, every measure which will tend to prevent the
 commission of crimes provoking resort Ito lynch law procedure, every measure
 which will tend to strengthen and
 maintain a popular reliance on legal procedure, every measure which will in
 amy way tend to create a strong, un- compromising public sentiment against llynching-all of these must be adopted, if the practice of Iynching is to be made thing of the past in the United States" ""

 NOW FOR MAINE.

| The Democrats, Mark Tapley-like, are finding hope in diversity and are rising Eup to explain things. Oregon last June showed a notable Republican gain. Arkansas this week reelected Davis Ca Democrat, of course) its governor, but with a loss to him of 45,000 votes, he getting in by the meagre plurality of Hess than 4,000. His Republican com- Epetitor gained 10000 over his vote of 1.-two years ago. Next Vermont rolls up l31,50O Republican plurality. Now for the Pine Tree State next
 Monday. Maine's average plurality in the last eight presidential elections is I23, ,795, and in the last seven State elec- Itions 25,230. The State elections have been more even than the national eIec- Itions, but the plurality has never reach ed the maximum of 45,7T7 given Me-
 Kinley in 1896. The plurality in the last State election--1902-wa 27,490. It is
 not to be expected that the plurality next Monday will reach the figures of 1902, but if the plurality is over 22,0OO the Republicans will have no kick" coming. Indeed, in the circumstances,
 the plurality could be as small as 10000 without affording the Democrats any consolation. But the Democrats will have another chance to resort to figur- ing and explaining again as consola- tory measure

From the milliners in convention in Chicago comes the important advice that the automobile" veil must go. No veil," says the chief madame of the milliners, lis suited for use on an auto trip which leaves any loose ends to wave in the wind. They should rather be round, and neat, and clinging close to the face" It should be noted, however, that nothing is said against ''automobile" veils for street and street car uses, so there is no reason why the fair peripatetics should yet haul in eaaGss streamers.

 for the crop of this year is one of the items in their resolve to plant wheat again this fall. For great deal of the Oklahoma wheat is not yet marketed. Much of it is not yet threshed. The acreage of wheat to be sown in Okla homa this fall will be as great as that of last fall. os the counties in Okla iioma only the two north tiers has any thing like a bountiful yield. In these the average was about fifteen bushels to the acre, although there were tracts from which as much as thirty-five bushels to the acre have been threshed. It was in the counties south of these two tiers where the wheat growers suffered. In many places the crop did not yield ocer four for five bushels to the acre. and it has been estimated that the average yield the territory over would not go higher than eight bushles to the acre.

Taggart May be the Democratic
National Chairman.

ST. Louis, July 10.-The national
committee, new in .ts makeup, met at
2.30 o'clock this morning and again at
4 O'Clock this afternoon with the avow-
ed intention on behalf of the supper
tiers of Taggart of Indiana of organiz.
ing by electing him chairman.
The~early morning meeting wes not
fully attended and the object aimed at
was not accomplished. 1t was pointed
out by Norman E. Mack of New York
that it would be discourteous 90 take
any action until Mr.. Parker, as the
candidate, was consulted.
The Taggart men, while not having
enough to elect, still suggested that
David B. Hill, William +. Shee!ian
aud August Belmont, the candidates
friends, were still bere, and adopted
resolution that they be invited to
meet the committee this afternoon.
At the afternoon session Chairman
Jones Of tie old committee asserted
that the contemplated action would
be npreceoented, and in fact Illegal.
1t was also stated that ct late hour
the convention adopted a resolution
authorizing Mr.. jones to call the new
committee together in New York city
at such time as be might suggest.

Geronimo at Worlds Fair.

S ST. Louis, July 8.-Geronimo, the
once blood thirsty Apache chief, who
sspread terror throughout the South
west until he was finally captured by
General Nelson A. Miles, is one OF
the striking features of the Indian
Exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
Geronimo regards himself as still a
great chief because he resisted the
American Government longer than
any other In6ian. He is seventy years
old and while revesed by all Apaches,
is not considered as ruling Chief
tain on accent Of his extreme age.
When General Miles first made
Geronimo captive, the old Indian was
sent to Florida, but in a short while
be returned to the prison at Fort
Sill Geronimo is nominally free at
the Worlds Fair, but practically a
prisoner Of war. He was accompanied
to the Exposition by Captain Ssyre OF
the u. S. A., under whose charge the
old Indian has been since his stay at
Fort Sill.
Geronimo spends the days in the
Indian Building at the Worlds Fair.
and as pastime writes his autograph
for visitors. He has a special tepee
in the Apache Village and makes his
home with his tribe at night.
OF ali the tribes that roamed Amer
lea IS forests, the Apaches were the
most cruel and treacherous. And of
ali the Apaches, Geronimo was. the
most vicious. lie fought desperately
when escape was possible by no other
means. But slaughter from ambush
and the Staying of the defeDseless was
the more to his choosing. Long years
sof captivity has broken his spirits, but
he is still warlike, proud and erect,
the true representative of once pow
erful race.
