THE SALISBURY LTNCHTNG.

the Press Of The State has given free

details OF the lynching, including the

dar-aged Lyerly girls TO view the ghast-
" spectacle OF the dead and mutilated
bodies Of the negroes who we're charged
with the murder Of their father and
mother ard brother and sister, and the
attempt to burn the girls alive. We
say it Is all sickenlpg and naussating,

THE WESTERN FARMER.

The Sioux City Qa.) Tribune of re-
cent date says that there must be a
foreign market to take our surplus
and as long as there are markets for
this surplus. which may be readily
secured. the farmer cannot justifiably
acquisce in any Generalization OF
prices due to a surplus.
1t claims export buying introduces
helpful competition The opening OF
the great German market would i'm
mediately help prices to marked ex-
tent. Producers have been complain
ing of the dangerously small margin,
and a better price for cattle would
help the price Of corn and all Of the
farming interests would benefit.
1t is claimed that for the benefit Of
manufacturers the producers on the
farms have been deprived OF price
buffer which stands between a sur
plus and unprohtably low market fig
ures. The question Of reciprocity with
France and Germany is important
from the fact that the masses Of con-
sumers in those countries would buy
our cheaper grades Of meat which are
now sold at a sacrifice In our mar
kets
The paper declares that the prob
lem of reciprocity is of vital import
ance and interest to western farm
ers, because reciprocal arrangements
would introduce larger competition
for the American surplus.

go forth, to show the people that there

evils, if any exist, and to refrain from
further agitation Of the problem. She
win do this amply and honestly If

ONLY REAL MEN REBEL.

Rev. Dr. Algernon S. Crapsey, of
Rochester, New York, may not be a
veritable Martin Luther, but he Is
man enough to do his own thinking
and rebel against established forms
and doctrines that do not suit him;
always a sign Of manliness. We have
not the slightest idea Of the basis
Of his controversy, but, on general
principles, admire him for his loyalty
to his conceptions which must be of
some merit, since they require Of him
a fight against the powerful Episco-
pal diocese of New York, and the re-
nunciation Of the teachings Of life
time, and this without the faintest
shadow Of gain in a material sense. 1t
is only real men who rebel.

WEATHER.
ITO HELL WITH THE LAW!"

There are not many men in these
United States who would have dared
to use this expression on the public
rostrum of a metropolitan city to
mixed audience of Americans; but
United States Senator Benjamin r.
Tillman, of South Carolina, would
have gravely disappointed not only
his auditors, but the nation itself, had
he refrained from some such ebulli-
ton. 1t was expected, and 1t arrived;
and for clarity, force. and applica-
ton, it stands out from all the rest
of his lecture, monumental thought
and a daring, as well as honest ex-
preston of it. We shudder at such
bald and bold emanations from men in
high places, while we quietly nurse
the identical idea in the hidden places
of our hearts, nor venture to declare
them lest we pain our neighbor who
is cherishing the same silent convic-
tion.
The essence of the matter is, that
our people are absolutely smothered
with the law. David Dudley Field once
lectured on this subject and among
other vivid statements, declared that
the day would come when the law,
from it's very immensity of volume
and wild complexity, would become
detestable to the whole people, and
it has nearly reached mat point. The
mass of statutes, federal, state, NUM-
cipal, district, aside from the con-
glomerate and inextricable bulk Of
special edicts, based upon myriads of
varying basic laws, has become
stencil in the nostriIs Of the ordinary
decent citizens, and there are not
dozen men in the thousand of today,
who do not hold the law in semi
tempt, at least, from the sheer knowl-
edge that no given law exists upon
the books that is not rendered nuga-
tory and worthless by some other law
within the same covers. The tremen-
dous fact remains, always, that the
so-called "law-abiding" citizen is well
within the law because he is natural
ly good and indisposed to evil, and
not from knowledgeable observance
of any statute on earth.
And We take it that this is what
the grouchy senator from South Car
olina meant when he made use of his
extraordinary phrase. He knows, as
does every other "law- maker" in the
country, that the doctrine of the law
today, is not so much the preservation
of the equities in human society and
commerce, as for hedging, manipulat-
ing, defeating and confusing the codes,
until their efficacy shall be found in
the breach, rather than in the OBJ
servance of the law for the actual at
tainment Of exact justice
There are, Of course, certain funda-
mental edicts that have stood for ages
and custom has made many another
the rule of human action, and these
are cherished and respected the world
over; but for the frills and fripperies
of the law; the huge addenda that
makes for confusion and belittles the
organic principles of the law, we, along
with most of our fellows, are acquir-
ing the detestation Mr.. Field so pho
phetically alluded to: and for one, we
cannot disparage the observation of
the Southern senator, since we be-

CHICAGO. Jan. 3l.-No facts of great
Importance were developed at today's
hearing Of the packers case. Edward
Morris, treasurer of the Fairbanks Can
ming company; Ira n. Morris, his
brother. secretary of the same corpor-
alton, and Edward F. Swift, vice-presi-

nesses on the stand.
Didn't Answer Question.
The direct examination of Edward
Morris was almost concluded yesterday
and he was cross-cxamined today at
considerable length by District Attor-
ney Morrison. He was asked II there
was anything In the books OF his com
pany which might have convicted him
of violation of an injunction Issued
some time previous to the Garfield in
vestigation, by Judge Grosscup of the
Federal bench in this city, enjoining
the packers from combining in re-
stralnt of trade, but the court declared
that he could not be required TO an
swer the question.
Garfield Would Protect Them.
Ira n. Morris and Edward Swift de-
clared that they had been assured by
Commissioner Garfield that none of the
information he secured from them
would be turned over to the Depart
ment of Justice.
