 A NORTHERN VIEW OF RIoTs.
 Perhaps no single lynching or riot in OUT country has brought out such universal comment as the late race war at Atlanta. Single lynching and serious disturbances have occurred from time to time. but nothing of the proportion of the Atlanta affair. A nong the many expressions of the press, we think the public will settle ueo1 few stern, fundamental facts that should prove of great profit in dealing with this mepacing problem in the future As usual when serious and complicated matters are dis cussed, we find those who give forth prejudiced and distorted opinions that it is necessary 10 wind them out be- fore the truth can be ascertained. For single instance: A Southern Roman Catholic paper actually lays this outrage at the door of the Protes- tant churches. Witness the follow ing, where the editor is speaking of the negroes: These poor people be- come members of the Methodist or Baptist sects, and for the most part are ignorant of the first truths of reve- lation. ignorant too of the command ments. while their knowledge of our Blessed Lord seems to go no further than glib and offensive use of the Holy Name.
 Another press comment falsely charges the riot to the jealousy on the part of the white people of the South of the more progressive negro ele- ment. This must also be elem mated | We do not understand that there is any serious antagonism among south erners 10 the honest industrious negro. They are willing that he advance to the limit of his power. They ought also to be willing that the moral and intelligent negroes should freely ex ercise their suffrage rights Other i wise these will harper q constant re- sentiment against being deprived Of weapon in the ballot box with which. nearly everywhere else in the world. the industrial and lowly classes are bettering their conditions. There has always been friction between the "poor whites and the negroes suffi- cient to furnish motive for lynching sometimes upon slightest provocation. We believe the entire country <has

Farmers of this section no dou bt
know best what they oughtto do,
but they will probably not take
offense at little friendly ADVICE
offered in a friendly spirit. Sea
sons are not what they used to
be; we are having more rain. A
few years ago there would be
weeks after harvest without
rain and grain in shock was rea.
sonably safe for a long time.
Now, however, rain comes with
out warning, and there is lots of
it, making the practice Of leav
ing grain in shock a dangerous
business, and we would advise
farmers to stack their grain as
fast as possible, and as cnndi
tions will permit. Even If you
have the promise of a machine
tomorrow, you had best keep
stacking until tom orrow, for
something may happen that the
machine won't come. Grain well
stacked is comparatively safe
from the ravaRes of the elements
but in the shock it is a toss up as
to whether you will save it. with
the odds against you.

BlSBEE MEX|CANS TO GO TODAY ID AID
 AT SALTON SEA

There will be shipped from Bisbee this morning to aid in the reclamation ot the land now submerged by the Sal ton Sea, 150 Mexican laborers. The men were gathered together for this work by C. C. Thompson. acting under 2 commission given him by Southern Pcci@c Contractor Calkins. who has Eecn in the city for the past two days with this end !n view.
 MT. Calkins left yesterday for Ben son, and afte~ attending to the details in connection with the transportation of the MeXicans, wired to Thompson to send them at the earliest possible moment. Owing to the failure of the transportation to arrive in time for last evenings train, the men were held till today, when they will be delivered to Calkins at Benson by Thompson.
 The Bis6ee contingent will repre- sent but a small part of the army of men that are being rushed in by the Southern Pacific in that compaay's en- deavor to divert the waters of the Col orado from it's present course into the old channel of the river, thus reclaim ing thousands upon thousands of acres of tiilable land, and saving to the rail- road an enormous expense for constant changes that will have to be made in the course of the road should the wa ters of the river be permitted to con- tinue to fill in the great basin below the sea level.

YOUNG WYATT |S ELECTROCUTED

 The only plausible solution to the cause of death is in the presumption that Wyatt in some manner formed a circuit with the current in the trans former, probably by grasping one of the iron braces that hold the cross tree to the pole. his death following.
 The wire leading to the Don Luis transformer carried a current of 22O0 volts. Wyatt was burned about the right hand and the calf Of the left leg.

Bisbee daily review., 1906-08-04

Chester Wyeth, youth or nineteen. met his death yesterday afternoon at Don Luis by coming in contact with either live wire, or by forming circuit with his body while engaged in repairs on a pole of the Bisbee Im- provement company. The young man was hurled from the top of the pole to the ground. a distance of thirty fee, and before aid could reach him, was dead. The body was brought to the city as soon as viewed by Coroner Hogan, of Lowell, who was brought tc the scene of the sssas deata, and now lies at the Palace Undertaking parloTs.
 A sad feature of the death lies in the fact that the young man had but a short time since come to Bis5ee from his home in Bedford, Kentucsy and had gone to work for the B.sT Co. but an hour or so before death over took him- in company with Construc- tion Superintendent James.

GENERAL TORRES ADDS WORD ID
 DEN|ALS
Mexican Soldier With Family Passed Through Bisbee
 Last Evening.

General Luis Torres, the famous In- dian fighter, and very high in Mexican army circles, passed through the city When asked by a representative of The Review whether his trip was of any special significance. and in regard to the rumors of an uprising on the 16th of September, the genera said:
 My trip to Dougas al the present time is merely of a personal nature. I am taking little pleasure trip with my family before returning to our home in Hermosillo. have quite number of friends in Douglas, and am taking this opportunity of seeing them again before return to my -ome."
 Tn regard to the rumors of an up rising against the government on the 10th of September, so much has been said in denial by people who know the conditions, that feel as if there were nothing left to say. The utter absurdi;y of these rumors would be apparent if people had time to take trip through the Republic, and see the prosperity that prevails.
 "At TO time has there been such general prosperity. so many men work ing for good wages, and such good feeling existing between the Mexicans and the foreigners. Of course we have malcontents and would-be revolution ists the same as any other country. Point a country out to me that has not got any of this class of people. Their only aim in life seems to be, to make others unhappy and discontented. But you can say for me that the people of Mexico are not foolish enough to think for a minute of giving up all of the blessings they have received under the guidance of our estimable president, General Porfrio Diaz, to fol low a few misguided and ignorant mal- contents.
 "These alarmists make it appear ttat the movement is going to be es- pecially against Americans. Now, let me tell you that there is not work inS man in the Republic of Mexico who will not say hat wages have in- creased. and general prosperity fol- lowed whenever Americans took hold of mines or anything else in Mexico. and I can assure you that they will never be misguided into driving out the best friends they have The best or good feeling exists between your country and mine. and I can assure vou that no true son of Mexico is so- ing t9 disturb the harmony. I say that these rumors are absolutely ..b- srrd, and have been started by ire sTo7sitle peODle for their own ends"
 This denial from General Torres should be sufficient to convince any on that the recent rumors are without foUEdation.
