The Springfield, Ohio, grand
jury has adjourned; without bring

members of the recent mob of ne
gro hunters and lynchers. In the
report of the officials of the city
and the county we're generally con-
demnedas derelict in their duties,
and thereby responsible for all that
the mob did. The efforts of the
mayor were rediciously feeble, and
he was inexcusably tardy in call
ing on the local militia. AS to
the sheriff, he showed such in
competency as to bring his office
into ridicule.'' - The district at
torney comes in for a share of the
wholesale censure. The police
force is condemned as reprehen
sibly passive, evidencing an un-
mistrkable absence of any desire or
vigorous effort toward the identi-
cacation or arrest OF the active par
ticipants of the mob" The pres
ment should have pursued the logic
of this episod a step further-a step
fho+ cox,erc the vital truth of the
matter, to-wit: That enforcement
of law and punishment of law and
punishment of lawbreakers failed
because the officials and their con-
stituents sympathised in, and tact
ly endorsed, the crimes of assault,
arson and murder by the white mob;

A GREAT STORY OF GOOD WILL.

What fine lot of people there are III
the worldl
What responsive, sympathetic. tender,
big-hearted men and women there are
In every civilized part of the globe.
Ten davs ago the story of American
life was largely graft, selfshness, greed;
intense devotion to business has meant
a sacrifice of much OF the finger side OF
living, and spirit that, put into words.
was "every one for himself and the devil
take the hindmost.
But that was before an earthquake
and Il conhagration conquered great
CITY and ut the same time smashed the
shacklcs that bound human hearts.
Why the story OF the goodness of hui
manity in the face of the tradegy OF the
Golden Gate is the finest thing ever writ
ten. 1t deserves to be forged into golden
letters to shine for the ages.
"I'm sorry" have been watchwords.-
They have made the rich man sign check
and toll night and day loading food into
a boxcar. Have made the poor man give
OF his small store while the tears stole
down his cheek. Were written in the
message of kings andqueens. Have been
preached in pulpits and on the streets.
what can we do?" was the hourly
query. and it was answered by the mil
lions.
Good will. 1t was the unwrltten mes
sage that went with the hams from
Chicago and the blankets from Boston,;
with the -four from Minneapolis and the
beef from Kansas City. The world wept
and acted. drew lessons from disaster.
but never stopped loading cars.
Good will gave right-of-way to trains
and good will was at the throttles, and
guarding switches. and shoveling coal,
and crowding and pushing to hasten the
help to the needy.
Good will stood on street corners and
asked for money for the unfortunate.
1t gave benefit performances in count
less theaters; it moved men of all sta
tions, and afforded relief of a magnitude
that the world marvels.
And that is the wonderful story OF
Frisco.
1t was story that was told at Bos-
ton, at Baltimore. at Chicago, at Gal
weston, everywhere where human misery
has reached the heights of national ca
lamity.
1t is fine, true, intense, Godlike.
In the face Of commissions of nature, 1t
is true that man is pigmy, and yet,
SO great is his heart and so true its in
stincts, that the same calamity that ex-
exmplfiies his littleness pi owes that he rs
constructed in the image of his Maker
and is almost divine.
All this was good for the people of San
Franseisco.
And better for those who forget self
and found how truly it is better to give
than to receive.-Memphis Scimitar.

LOSSES IN THE EARTH

1t is gratifying to be informed
that the greater number OF 1nsur-

losses in California. In this por-
ton of the South The Mississip-
ri Home Insurance Company has
paid its losses for twety-one years,
and it had losses in Yazoo City fire,
where three-fourths of the town
was destroyed. 1t has never had
any earthquake losses, and its
friends hope it never will. 1t is
careful in taking risks, and is
stronger than ever.

Joseph FITZGERALD DEAD.

The distressing news came from Jack
son Yesterday that Mr.. Joseph Fitzgerald
had died at his home near that city at 3
O'Clock yesterday morning, He had
been III for several weeks but it was only
in the last few days that all hope of his
recovery was given up.
Mr.. Fitsgerald leaves several children
and wife to mourn the loss of a devot-
ed and loving father and husband. The
whole of Jackson, as well as other parts
of the state where he was well known,
grieves at his demise.
Mr. Fitzgerald was man Of fine natu-
raj ability, and his experince i'll the bat
tie of life had made him one of the best
informed men in the state.He was a man
of positive opinions, OF strict honesty
and integrity, and one who was true to
his convictions and to his friends under
all conditions. Mr. Fitsgerald served
as justice of the peace at Jackson for
several terms. and was Conscientious
and admirable ofhcial. At the last gei-
eraJ election he was candidate for
sheriff of Kinds county. and was defeat
ed by a small margin. For the past two
years Mr.. Fitsgerad has been steward
at that insane hospital, and filled that
onerous and responsible position with
thorough sa tistaction to the superinter-
dert and trustees; indeed, his zeal in
the performance of his duties probably
resulted in the impairment OF his health.
Mr.. Fitzgerald was reared at Jackson,
where he was loved and esteemed by
everybody. He was lifelong member
of the Catholic church. and was also {,
| member of the Jackson branch OF Cath
olic Knights of America.
In addition to his immediate family he
is survived by his brothers, Charles Fitz-
gerald. postal inspector; E. A. Fitz-
gerald, business manager of the Vicls-
burg Herald; Will Fitzgerald of Rosedale,
and some sisters who reside at Memphis.
The funeral will take place at Jackson
this afternoon at 4 o'ocock.-Vicksburg
| Herald.
We deeply regret the death OF
Hon. Joseph Fitzgeard, of Jack
son which occurred on Saturday last.
As a justice of the peace, as a
member of the city council of
Jackson as member of the leg
islature and as steward at the Mis-
sissippi Insane Asylum, the deceas-
ed proved his fidelity to the peo-
pie. He was about fifty years of
age when death claimed him as
his victim. Mr.. Fitzgerald was a
brother to Hon. Chas. Fitzgerald,
Of Jackson, Postofice Inspector,
Hon. w. H. Fitzgerald. of Rose
dale, member of the Mississippi
Levee Board, and Hon. Ed, A..
Fitszgerald, business manager of
