Raleigh News and Observer
The lynching of the three negroes
at Salisbury was a species of an
archy without palliatiOn or excuse.
The court was i'm session and the ne
groes charged with the murder of the
Lyerly family had been put upon
their trial. The action ofthe mob in
entering the Jail and brutally drag
ging out the prisoners to their death
was contempt not only OF the court
but of the standards OF justice which
typify civilization. Every man in the
State who has aninterest in the hon.
or of the Commonwealth must feel in
the light Of this diabolicai manifes-
tation OF passion almost n personal
sense of shame. As many of the mob
as it may be possible to identify
should be prosecuted without regard
to labor or expense and, if convicted,
their punishment should be made to
exactly fit the crime of which they
are guilty.
LYNCHERS MUST BE PUNISHED.

Kerosene for Cleaning.
? Presbyterian Standard.

TresDy terrain standard.
Kerosene is one of the greatest aids
in cleaning that can be found among
the household supplies. Soiled zinc
under stoves or on kitchen tables,
grimy galvanized ware, gummy bath
tubs and wash basins, all give up
their Objectionable collections when
rubbed with a cloth dipped in kero-
sene. After the loOsening with the
kerosene all that is needed to COM
plete the job is to wash the mixture
with pearline suds and clean cloth.
For washing windows put a little
kerosene in clear water and use u
cloth as when washing with soap,
but do notputany soap in the water.
A few spOOnfuls of kerosene in a boiler
of clothes will make the dirt come
out much easier, and the odor of the
kerosene is not noticeable when the
clothes have dried. A cloth dipped
in kerosene will take dust and specks
from polished furniture and leave it
looking much better than when water
is used. A very little kerosene Oh II
newspaper makes a good polisher for
tins. If the sewing machine gets
gummed and runs hard oil the parts
good oiling with kerosene, then run
it a while to give the kerosene a
chance to reach every place, repeat
the oiling and running, then wipe
every part free from the loosened dirt
and give thorough oiling with ma
chine oil. remove rust from metal,
saturate with kerosene and leave it
for a day or two, then scour with
whatever substance is suitable for
the article to be cleaned. This may
be whiting or fine emery powder for
steel ornaments, but sand or scrub
bing brush for large iron articles.

What do Men Live For.

have nothing but vain regrets for
failure to conquer. In the end no
hope on earth remains save the
children may press their fathers bat
tie to victory or may enter into the
kingdom which he saw from the noun

no children because they wilfully re-
frain from having them, or have 'em
SO thriftily that they risk having none
in the end-what have they to live
for? What hope is theirs that makes
life really worth living? Millions of
men are finding every year that the
incomes which seemed barely suffi-
cient for themselves alone are suffi-
cient to support wives and children
and to build up estates as well. A
man never knows what he can do un-
til he is Obliged to try.

II is impossible for the Republicans
/ to disguise the fact that the''trust era
is syDchronous with the present tarlfl
law, which so Iavishly protects those
special interests IT. the expense of the
American people. No one ever heard
of our manufacturers selling their pro-
ducts abroad cheaper than at home I'M
til the tariff was increased beyond the
high rates of the Mckinley bill,,to pur-
poseIy protect the manufacturers from
foreign competition. There were
some trusts before 1897, but they were
feeble infants compared to those vast
combines that now control our markets.
There are now 1853 trusts that enjoy di
rect tariff benefit and there are 3Siother
trusts that benefit to some extent. To
these giant corporations must be at
| tributed the enormous increase in
prices, through the protection granted
them in the tariff law, SO that the cost

A Ounstion OF Tainted Money.

If the Republican congressional
committee is only going to collect 81
from those members who feel like sub
scribing, why did the party leaders re
fuse to pass the Tillman bill which
prohibited corporations from giving
money to political parties? Somehow
the two facts seem to jibe and there
is sneaking suspicion that Chair
man Sherman would not refuse larger
contribution from the Sugar trust, the
Standard Oil trust, the Beef trust, or
even the railroad corporations if
checks were forwarded in plain en-
velopes. 1t will be remembered that
even President Roosevelt denounced
Judge Parker for charging that the
trusts and corporations had subscribed
to the Republican campaign fund in
1904, but it has since been proven that
such funds were solicited and received,
especially from the funds of the l.
Insurance corporations which should
have been sacred to the orphans and
widows of the policy holders. And
there is no record of the President hav-
ing apologized to Judge Parker MOI
that restitution of the tainted money
has been made. Richardson Gazette.
