FERROUS REACTION.

But of late we have heard a new voice from the South. It is louder and less considerate of the claims of hu- manitv than the milder tones of the more dignifed and decorous leadership which it seeks to supplant. This is the voice of Tillman and aNrdaman and Baringer and Thomas Dixon. These new oracles tell us that the negro must be denied political, civil, educational and even industrial opportunity lest social equality should be the consummation of it all. The Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule. the Sermon on he Mount the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the Uuited States, and the genius and traditions of American institutions are held in open defiance by a narrow and provincial spirit. The ethical and political foundations of so- cial order are rUthlessly OVerbOrne by the fat of a silly phrase. The question is of vital concern to every loyal Amer ican citizen. For if this spirit is all lowed to prevail and the nero is, of set policy, suppressed below the level Of American manhood, in deference to an absurd social theory, then his stature will inevitably settle into Q servile caste as rigid and memorable as that which blights Oriental civilization.-From so cial Equality" by Kelly Miller, in Ma tional Magazine

The Annual Carnival of HoodlumIsm.

A significant commentary on this
 nations remarkable method of cele-
 brating the anniversary of it's birth is
 the announcement that the hospitals of New York have made extensive preparations to care for the victims of
 the festival.
 | There is no question of the neces- | sity of these preparations. It is ab-
 solutely certain that thousands of per
 sons in the United States will be se- riOusly injured between now and to-
 morrow morning, something like half a thousand of whom will die of their injuries, by the idiotic use of explo- sives in alleged celebration of a. pa triotic festival. This happens year af- ter year. Everyone knows it is go- ing to happen every year, and yet nothing is done to stop the barbarous practice. It would be interesting to know just what other civilized nations think of us as they read the death roll of our Fourth of July celebrations. They must regard us as a lot of sav- ages. and that is just about what we prove ourselves with each recurring Independence day.
 Probably nobody knows how this abOminable mode of celebration orig mated. It is impossible now to find the least reasonable justification for it. There is no logical or sentimental connection between all this senseless row and the occasion of the celebra- tion. All this setting off of danger ous explosives means nothing and ex- presses nothing. IL has come 10 be all there is of the Fourth of July. What ever of significance the holiday may once have had for patriotic Ameri- cans has disappeared amid the smoke and noise of the carnival of hoodlum- ism into which a great and dignified national patriotic festival has gradu- ally degenerated.
 There is growing sentiment against the present method of cele- brating the Fourth, which, in the course of a century or so, may crys- taIize into action that will put an end to it. Until that happy day arrives we civilized and intelligent Americans will continue to show our joy in our national independence and our grati- tude to the patriots who won it for us by killing ourselves and each oth- CT and setting fire to our cities by the reckless use of dangerous explosives.

FIammarion on Space.

Camille Flammarion, the celebrated French astronomer. endeavors to give an idea of the infinity of space. by describing an imaginary journey to the uttermost confines of the visible universe. The innumerabIe worlds that appear all around us, as far as hu- man eye can penetrate space, form a most fascinating subject of contempla- tion. M. Flammarion says:
 Let us go, let us rush with the ve- locity of light. Tn a little more than a second we pass in view of the lunar world, which spreads before us it's yawning craters, and reveals it's AL pine and savage valleys. We do not stop. The sun reappears, and permits us to cast a last look at the iIluminat- ed earth-a little inclined globe slowly shrinking in the infinite light

We pass sufficiently near the sun to perceive his tremendous explosions. but we continue our flight Here is Mars. with its Mediterran- cans with thousand indentations, its gulfs, it's shores, it's great rivers. it's nations. it's strange towns and it's 9c- tive, busy populations.

A valued religious contemporary, the "Churchman," of New York. thought il worth while to inform itself about the six directors of the company whose deal with the city hall gang for the seventy-fve years lease of the city gas works precipitated the pop ular uprising in Philadelphia. Four of them are pillars of Philadelphia churches, it appears; one is a member of the Society of Friends; all are spoken of as "men of mark and great influence in religious, philanthrOpic, educational, social and financial cir cles." Presumably their view of the matter is that there's a time for ev- erything, and that the time for reIig- ion is after business hours.

Lynching Decreasing.

A negro was lynched in Tennessee the other day and the news of his lynching calls to mind the fact that such news is growing scerce. The Florida Times Union directs our at tention to the fact that there was a time-and that not long ago-when the average daily report of the AssO- Ciated Press told of a lynching. If the lynchers skipped a day they made it up by more than one lynching on other days. Now we hear often Of ef- forts to prevent lynchings, but no; of ten of Iynching. Their decrease is a hopeful sign for our section. What ever may be the cause, they have de- creased to a startling extent in the last few months. We have no figures from which to make a precise state ment, but We believe that all men who have kept up with the daily news will indOrse this opinion; there have been fewer Iynchings in the south during the year 1905. which is more than half gone, than the average number re- corded per month during the five pre- ceding years.
 This decrease in this species of crime is due in part to more earnest efforts on the part of the authorities to protect prisoners than were ever made before. These efforts are not confined to any particular state. Of- ficials of all the states now call out the military in time to prevent lynch ings. Heretofore they have called them out in time to attend inquests. Then we are confident that the law abiding spirit has grown among the people. or, perhaps. We would be more accurate in saying the law-abidinS people have eXerted greater force. They were always in the majority, and were in other respects the more infu- ential members of the communities in which they lived. They prevent now where they formerly deplored. And we think the negro is not without his part in this reform. We believe that the crime which generally called forth acts of mob violence has grown less frequent. The better class of the ne- groes have exerted their influence and crime perpetrated by their race has decreased
