ton to the riots at Springfield. ONO,

the same North aud South when ne
s-eps out of bounds 10 commit some
outrage ON white man or a white
woman. II is not confined TO the
South alone. as has ofttimes errone-
ously been thought, but IL Is born
and bred in the bone of the Anglo
SlXon race. The Southern people
have borne with neutrality-suspicious.
and seli-control the constant crlti-
cism of some Northern newspapers
ON their treatment OF the negro,
knowing that in time the chickens
would come home to rOOst, and
they have done SO. We read lately
in the public press of clashes between
the whites and blacks. hut we read
OF more of these unfortunate occur
rances in Northern States than We do
in Southern. if We take into conNld-
Grafton the far greater proportion
of negro population in the South.
In Springfield this week the provoca-
ton leading TO present riots wasiaf
less than that which usually drives a
Southern community to infict.a law
less vengeance. These riots grew
out of the shooting of a white man
by several negroes, and what has
been the result? The guilty parties
are resting secure in the custody OF
the law. while innocent negroes had
to fee from their homes TO avoid the
mob. and their homes have been
given over to the fury OF the flames.
1t is awful to contemplate the milic-
ton on innocent human beings OF
such unjust and uncalled for punish
ment and it is a disgrace upon the
city where such lawlessness is posi-
BILE, but race feeling exists and will
exist and manifest itself in such out
breaks in spite OF law, police and /
militia. Springfield is drinking from
the same cup from which her sister
cities. North and South, have drunk |
and from which they will continue to
drink so long as the black man
and the white man continue to live
together. 1t is a sad commentary, |
but it is a true one, and the sooner /
one section ceases to criticize the |
other for occurrences which both |
are exposed TO, that much sooner |
can we turn from criticizing one an |
other to some Joint action looking /
to an improvement OF conditions
which make these occurrences posi-
BILE. We sympathize with the city OF
Springfield and we wish her speedy |
solution OF the problem which we OF
the South have wrestled with for
long and weary years.

Develop Insanity in Philippines.

Washington. Nineteen soldiers, who have been doing service in the Philip pines, have been admitted to the Gov ernment Hospital for the insane for medical treatment. They were sent here from the General Army Hospital at the Presidio, San Francisco, and were accompanied by military escort. They are chiefly young soldiers.
 1t has been found that in most cases the mental disorders of this class of patients are readily dealt with. An expert figured out high rate of re- .coveries from the cases under treat 'ment in the asylum few years ago. It was also shown by figures that the average annual development of mental diseases in the Philippines campaign was one to 1000 men, which showed exclusively, it was stated, that there was no marked tendency toward the production of insanity in the condi- tions of this service.
