where the white people have the
judges. the juries ami every known
method of civilized punishment for
crime, the lyncher openly breathes
defiance and takes from the sworn
officers of the law the culprit and
kills him.
IL was alleged that this form OF
lawlessness was the result Of
the laws delays. We knew better
and as IL to prove the strength Of
our position. courts were converted
into rump tribunals and prisoners
hurried TO their doom with twenty
minute trials. II was alleged that
by this method the necessity for
lynching would be doue away and
that as the court subserved the pur-
pose. the lawiess elements would be
satisfied.
That this view was erroneous sd-
mits now OF no question Cor prison
ers on trial. even where their fate
was certain were taken from the
court room and hanged almost in
sight OF the presiding Judge. The
case at Salisbury. North Carolina.
fttingiy illustrates this view Of the
situation. while the lynching OF
three colored men at Spring
field. Missouri emphasizes II. That
it is practically impossible TO
secure the conviction OF the lynch
ers after the crime has been COM
mitted hardly admits OF a question.
This brings the matter back to our
original proposition ami that is. the
lyncher should be punished at the
time he is doing the lynching. One
vOlley from a determined body OF Of
fcers Of the law viii settle all dis
putes as 20 the identity OF the men
engaged in the crime When
lynching becomes dangerous, then it
will become unpopular AS the
matter now stands an unarmed man
is TO be the victim and dummy off,
GERS OF the law are his protectors.
II seems to US that II a sheriff does
not intend 10 defend a prisoner.
he should be required 70 arm
the unfortunate victim in order
that he may sell that life as
dearly as possible. The death
OF one or two lynchers at ev-
cry lynching would prove a powerful
deterrent.
IL is no use 20 argue that a demand
for a fair and impartial trial is SYM
pathy for the criminal Negro. Col
ored people of intelligence are as
much opposed TO Negroes OF this
kind as are the white people who con
done the lynching. The low. degrad
ed. criminal Negro deals a blow az
his own race far more deadly than
the one he levels at his victim. We
want to see the criminal elements OF
both races punished and we want 10
see the law-abiding elements OF both
races combine 70 accomplish this
reault
Crime is not an exclusive asset OF
either race and there is no act OF a
Negro. be II ever so heinous that
has not been duplicated by the mem
bers OF the white race. History EN-
phasizes this fact and all scholars
know IL. We desire 10 have our
people Initiate the good traits in the
white man and shun the bad ones.
In the meantime. education and
wealth and moral training will do
much TO Tighten the clouds that are
gathering and are persistently how
ering over us.

This is a little bit singular replied MIR.

went out you came in visited me on the

"Ihe same, answered the minister, laugh
ing heartily.
Did he leave his name?" asked Maddy.
He did not Perhaps he was not so anxious
to obtain information in regard to Mr.. Nal
drake as he was to ascertain if any one had
called TO inquire about him, suggested Mr..
Gardiner
Maddy looked at me, and | looked at Mad
dy. Doubtless Mr. Pickwick was another spy.
Perhaps Palingrove had sent him, knowing
that Mr.. Maldrake had preached in the church
in the Avenue Marbeuf. This was the thought
that came to both OF us.
II assured my caller that no one had in
quired for Mr.. Maldrake, and this seemed to
satisfy him. He did not ask anything more
about the reverend gentleman. | concluded
that he knew where he was, or that he had
no business with him" continued Mr.. Gardi-

The next thing we have to do is to COM

ued Maddy, taking a paper from his pocket
book. He was to be at the Hotel de Hol-
Iande, in Cologne, yesterday afternoon, and

him there"
Between us we prepared the Dispatch:

"No; he has not been there for several years.

But it appears that your grandfather is a

Maddy, when we had rehearsed the events of

minded man, according to Mr. Gardiner S
statement"

Niuht at Mozambique.

From "The Second-C Class Passenger" by
 Perceval Gibbon in the October Me-
 Clure's.
 Lamps were beginning to shine every where, and the dull peace of the place was broken by a new life. Those that dwell in darkness were going abroad now, and the great saloons were filling. Dawson noted casually that evening was evidently the lively time of Mozambique. He passed men of a type he had missed during the day, men Of all nationalties, by their faces, and every shade of color. They were lounging on the sidewalk in knots of two or three. sitting at the little tables outside the saloons, or lurking at the entrances of narrow alleys that ran aside from the main street every few paces. All were clad in thin white suits, and some wore knives in full sight, while there was that about them that would lead even the most innocent and conven- tional second-ciass passenger to guess at a weapon concealed somewhere. Some of passed along; and although he met their eyes impassvely, he-even he-was con- scious of an implied estimate in their glance, as though they classified him with a look. Once he stepped aside to let a woman pass. She was large, fiamboy antly southern and calm. She lounged along a cloak over her left arm, her head thrown back, a cigarette between her wide red lips. She, too, looked at Dawson-looked down at him with a su- perb lazy nonchalance, laughed a little and walked on.

PLoUGHlNG BY NIGHT.
Use of Steam on Great Western
 Farms-How Outfit Works.

From the Kansas City Star.
 The steam plough has become a famil- far object in western Kansas. Managers of the big implement houses here say that about 250 outfits have been sold in the past twelve months and that about 600 are in use on the western and central Kansas plains wherever the fields are large enough and the ground level enough to permit their operation.
 All through the western portions of the wheat belt big traction engines, with wheel tires nearly a yard wide, are at work pulling the gang ploughs and turn ing up the soil at the rate of thirty acres a day, with two men working each out fit These two men, working In the old way, could plough oniy about six acres a day so that the steam plough has in- creased the efficiency Of labor fivefold In this one character of farm work.
 These outfits cost about $500, but the expense of ploughing averages only about 40 cents an acre. as compared with an ex- pense of 75 cents to $1.50 an acre where the work is done by a man with team Therefore farmer who owns 1000 acres of wheat land can save enough In lew years to pay for a steam plough.
 Kansas City dealers say that about half the steam ploughs in the west are owned by large farmers, ana lHe TelHdihueI pe- long to threshing machine men, who run the ploughs in the spring and the late fall when they are not busy threshing grain.
 The rush to get the fall ploughing fin- ished while the ground is in good condi- ton has prompted some farmers to run their steam ploughs at night, with a great glaring headlight gleamfng across the fields, as well as in the daytime.
 The only objection to the steam plough Is that it enables farmers to plant more wheat than they can harvest In the portions of central and western Kansas, where the farms are large and the popu- lation is comparatively sparse, favora- ble fall for ploughing and planting and steam ploughing outfit at hand result In such large areas of wheat that when the harvest season comes the task of gath erng the crop must wait on the incoming of hundreds of strangers to labor for 6. few weeks in the harvest fields.
