Senator Tillman,s Confession.

New York Commercial: 1t is a
notable and significant confession by
Senator Tillman that lynching has
utterly failed to prevent criminal as
saults by negroes on white women in
the south. He does not, however,
come out squarely and counsel the
white men of that section to abandon
iynching right now-to run down and
punish lynchers as they now pursue
ravishers. Instead, he recommends
the establishment Of a European sys-
tenn of passport, coupled with a large
increase of officers of the law. Both
suggestions possess merit, and the
latter more especially. Comparatively
few communities in the south are ad-
equately policed. White mobs run
riot and do murder largely because
the constituted authorities are power
less to cope with them-but too often,
also, because popular sentiment does
not sympathize with an opposition
to the mobs that would effectively
hold them in check. So the senator's
recommendation is really one for more
physical force with which to confront
lawless men, black as well as white
a confession by intimation that it is
hopeless to try to educate or argue or
plead the white men of the south
away from their present notions as to
lynching for one particular class of
crime here.
