On the 10th of March | arrived
in Tuscon. This town has distinc-
ton in several ways, first it claims
to be the largest in the territory ;
it also claims the unique distinc-
tion of being the oldest town in
the United States, it is 354 years
cid or 13 years older than st. Au-
gustine, Fla. by official records
now in Washington. This latter
fact may not have a monitary value
but a new interest attaches to any
place in this new world where one

seeing an empire created and met

in the interest of peace and con-
servatism. But when the state
itself persists in refusing to do its
duty to preserve the life of help
less women and children because
some drunken scalawag shoots a
man, patience ceases to be vir-
tue. And we stand upon the verge
of losing confidence in, and re-
spect for the civilization that we
hare been taught from our infancy
to love. Lysching upon lynching
is piled one upon the other for any
and every offense, small and great.
by the hypocritical and cyntempt-
able scullions who call themselves
the leaders of civilization and the
great pioneers and directors OF

munity, the country would see
how quickly an end would be put
to it. In the same way, we con-
tend. these offenders. though they
be WHITE, could be subdued and
squelched if the officers of the law
so desired.
To our mind. it is next 10 child's
play to order the military company
to put down mob, if they are not
allowed to resort to such methods
as will produce the result desired.
Some years ago Colonel Colt, in
Ohio, an officer of one of the mill
tary companies, was called out to
stop the mob; he thought that the
state meant that he should do his
duty, and consequently proceeded
to do it by shooting one of the
rioters. 1t was by great effort that
he succeeded in escaping from
serving term in the state peni-
tentiary. This simply goes to
show the fallacy of these state and
county officials who pretend that
they cannot control the mob.
Something must be done to pro.
tect the lives and property of in
nocent Negroes of this country;
innocent Negroes from destruction
at the hands of mobs composed of
white men that are liable to break
out in any city in this country.
Every man should have home,
and that home should be his cas-
tie, and at whatever cost, it is his
bounded duty, as man, to see to
it that the sanctity of that home
is dot disturbed by any man or
men, white or black, even if it costs
him his life to do so. This is his
duty, and he is less than a man
who fails to discharge it.

Nothing affords us more pleas

low townsman, T. S. Rector re-
ceived word last week that he had
been allowed a pension of 5000

for a pension IL years ago but his
claims proved futile until the an

The Voice OF Missions, publish
ed in New York City, in a COM
ment on the Springfield, Ohio,
mob, says:
In the two editorials of the New
York Times and World respective
ly, they speak of the so-called race
riot that took place a few nights
ago in Springfield, Ohio, the home
of Congressman Keefer. We COM
mend the position of the World
and times respectively. But we
beg to differ with the Associated
Press dispatch that announces
that there was a race riot in
Springfield. 1t is absolutely false.
The facts are that a Negro shot a
white railroad brakeman in the
afternoon of Wednesday, and
Thursday and Friday nights a mob
of two thousand white men parad-
ed the streets of a certain portion
of Springfield, shooting, beating,
ard attempting to kill every Ne
gro with whom they came in con-
tact: burning the houses and de-
stroying the homes of the Negroes
throughout the entire section of a
certain Negro locality. This thing
was kept up until the mob had
satisfied itself. And yet the pa
pers had the effrontery to call this
a race riotn'
OF course the officers of the law
were powerless to control the mob
and the owners of property, SO
they say, have no redress against
the city and county for the loss of
their property that has been de-
stroyed by this band of highway
men. The state capital is less
than hundred miles from Spring
field, and everything that could
possibly be necessary to put down
these rebels against law and order
was at the command of the au-
thorities. but Notwithstanding that,
they allowed them to do their
worst.
We make a great to-do over the
conduct of Russia toward the jew,
but it is Just as well for us to con-
slider our own meanness, our own
murderous spirit, and the total dis
regard for the rights and privileges
of our citizens at home. If class
of people are to be denied the
right to live because one of their
race is guilty of shooting a men,
ber of another race, as was IN the
case of Springfield, we make bold
to affirm that the barbarity and
cruelty of America is as great as
any ever displayed Russia, Turkey,
or any people upon the globe.
We believe, and indeed have
practiced the principle advanced

SERIOUS MENACE TO uBoR|Ne MEN

The vanguard of horde of Hindoos
that is about to pour into the United
States from British Columbia has
| reached Bellingham. So dangerous a
peril to the American labOrer are these
foreigners believed to be that the labor
men in Bellingham have signed a petit
ton to their employers to cease hiring
the East Indians.
The dusky men have swarmed into
that vicinity, it is declared, and have
taken positions in mills and are crowd
ing the white men from their work.
"The feeling among the labor organ
izations is bitter" states one report.
Dire threats have been made to the
effect that the foreigners must be ex-
terminated before they crowd out the
whites, and an open race warfare is
looked for unless the arrangements
of the mills take some action.
"The Hindoos have formed a colony
of shacks in poor part of the city and
are able to live on an exceedingly mea-
ger fare They are said to be poor
workers and are paid for handling lum-
Der 81 per day. Just what action the
big mills will take in the matter is
not known at this time. The employ
ers say the foreigners are hired owing
to the scarcity of men,"

Robber Caught in His Own Trap.

TROY, New York, Sept. 22.-Peter
Curley of this city, noted gambler,
bank rObber and all around crook, is
dead as the result of being burned in
a saloon fire. Having gone into the
place for the purpose of setting it
afire, according to the police he was
caught in his own firetrap, the fuse
which he used being so short that an
explosion occurred before he could
make his escape from the place.
Curley was 81 years of age and first
came into prominence by his partici-
patton in the robbery of the Water
ford bank in 1873. He and his accom-
plices secured 100000 in this haul.
Several times he has been accused
of being a professional firebug but his
accusers were never able to prove the
charge.

Believed That Short Line Down Snake

CHARLESTON, Wash, Sept. 22.-lt
developed here today that the Oregon
Short Line was again in this field FOR
the purpose of running out and COM
ag its survey up the Snake rive
rom here to Huntington. The infor-
ration leaked out through the en-
ployment of two local men who were
formerly in the employ of the COM
pany on it's work on the upper Snake.
This morning these two men were
met at the Charleston entrance of the
bridge by a man with a team, whose
identity was learned later today as
being c. Stradley of Salt Lake, an
engineer in the o2ce of Chief En-
gineer Ashton of the Short Line.
An attempt was made to interview
Mr. Stradley but he would not be in
terviewed During today the party
has been engaged in running lines
along the former survey made some
time ago by Short Line engineers and
it is understood the work now is for
the purpose of making a check on
the former location Their destina-
ton is unknown, but it is believed
that they will work toward the Grand
ROnde river and there meet other
parties coming down stream who are
now in the vicinity Of the Innaha.
