returning the fire of their prosecutors. Could less be looked for? Especially could it be looked for in an age when men are free to provide themselves with the means of murder Arms and ammunition are as freely sold in our cities, to any who ask them as are the common necessities. A single shop in Atlanta sold $l6,OOO worth of pistols and cartridges in thitry-six hours, with full sanction of the law that has been invoked as vainly to speed punish rnent for crimes less grave than that ~ filling mems hands with instruments of murder.
 In the retaliation of the black several white men have been hurt and killed. Four policemen are among the victims. It was not discovered that the police were doing anything to restrain violence when committed by those of their own color. Should race hates intensity, should the war be car ried beyond. Atlanta and involve Georgia and adjacent states, the South would be reaping terrible harvest from the seed sown by the fathers of the land when they planted human slavery on these shores two centuries and more ago.
 But there will be peace; the blacks will be terrorized into submission, though not before they have tried to better the example of their former masters. It will not be peace of con sent, however, but only of fear. Each element in the conflict will suspect the other and will keep it's attitude of an armed guard. Crime will be liable at any moment to recur and illegal punishments to assume their present savage form.
 And what can be done to better the situation? The first and effective thing would be to disarm the populace, black and white; to forbid the sale, use car riage or ownership of weapons that are devised for the taking of human life, just as we forbid the storage and un- licensed use of dynamite and poisons. The next and equally effective thing would be to get the law out Of its ruts of precedent, so that criminal cases would be tried and disposed of in the same year. the same month, the same week. The real enemies of the law are those who misconsuue, and abort, and avert 1t in the interests of criminals, great and small, making it's very name synonymous with trickery and delay and partiality.
 The mUbs of the South and West that lynch and burn and prosecute are assailing persons less than they are assailing an outworn system. That system abolished, and the courts re- stored to their function of popular defense, lynching will cease. But fogyism and interest cling to system that works so admirably for the break CT of the law, especially when he is in | high station. What then, will be the upshot of prevailing dlscontent, ii court practice Is not reminded and the aggressions of the vicious and ignorant l continuel Will the whole body of so. 1 ciety be vitiated and the primal pas sions flame out in increasing violence OH every provocation?

GETTING RID OF PIRATES
How Band Was Quickly Disposed oi'
 in South China.

A reader who arrived at Hongkong from Wuchow informs us thta on Sun
 day, when he left wuchow, there was a great changing of gongs and blowing
 of whistles The people were in a most
 excited state of mind and crowded the streets and housetops.
 Inquiry as to this unusual state of
 affairs eiclted the information that
 seventeen of the most notorious rob-
 bers of the district, men who had kept
 the inhabitnats in terror for long
 time, had paid the penalty of their
 misdeeds. It being impossible for the
 uathorities to effect their arrest in the ordinary way, the taotal of district en- ticed the robbers to his yamen by mak- ing an offer of a free pardon and other inducements to abandon their nefarious
 practises.
 No fewer than seventeen of the ruffi- ans swallowed the bait. Sixteen enter ed tile yamen and were promptly sur
 runded by troops and made prisoners. One man asescaped from the compound into the street and ran for dear life. Another-the seventeenth an-sls-
 pected trap and took to his heels without the entering the official resi- dence. Meanwhile the troops were not handling the fifteen captives very gent | ly They were promptly disarmed and without much ado were stripped and
 cut into a thousand pieces
 The enraged populace were not long in securing the two runaways, and I they met their end in the same man. 1 ner in the streets. There was great re- joicing afterward, and it is hoped that | this lesson will have a deterrent effect on others haunts may be in the neigh borhood. .-South China Post.

ELEVATOR ACCIDENT.

An accident happened in the elevator of the Washington building yesterday afternoon to William Ryan, aged elev- en years, and but for the cool and prompt action of the elevator boy, Os- car Berry, the lad would undoubtedly have been crushed to death. As it was his right arm was fractured and his body was otherwise badly bruised, It was stated at the hospital last night that there were no internal injuries and that he would soon get better. Ryan is an inmate of the New Haven orphan asylum

Both Varsity and Second Team Play
 Erratic Game.

Both Varsity and Second Team Play
 Erratic Game.
 The playing of both the Varsity and the second team yesterday afternoon at Yale field was very discouraging both to the coaches and to the specta- tors. Neither team was able to hold the ball in its possession for any length of time, and most of the big gains made came after a fluke by the opposite side. Flukes were made in- cessantly or forward, passing especial ly Alcott, who was playing right end, grabbed the ball on fluke of forward pass and ran forty yards before he was tackled. Phil Stillman, 94, was the only new man in the coaching lines. Brides was tried at right guard .on the Varsity and played a good game.

NOUS volume of business in 1906 and in spec
ulative circles it is thought that the increase
in earnings of the United States Steel Cor
poration will be so large that the management
of the concern will be induced to renew divt-
dends on the common stock. The actual volume
of business transacted in iron and steel last
week much larger than is general in the
holiday season, and orders received came in at
a rate which indicated great pressure in all
departments Of the trade in the first half Of the
current year. Prices maintained at firm
level. but it is not the policy of the various
companies to make important advances. their
theory being that any large increase in quota
tons would serve to check the demand from
consumers. Profits large at current figures,
and the decision of the iron and steel men not
TO make a general advance is one of the most
favorable factors in the iron and steel situation

add more than SJ0O00000 of value to the actual
worth of the property. That there is going

BIGGER CANAL LOCKS.


The decision of the Panama Canal
commission to construct the canal
locks with a width of 100 feet and a
disable length of 1000 feet, instead of
90 feet width and 900 feet length, as
recommended by the board of consult
ing engineers, is one of great import
snce. Under the physical conditions
the increase of dimensions adds enor-
mously to the difficulty of construction
as we'll as to the cost. No such locks
have ever been constructed, although
the feasibility of the work is nowhere
questioned IiCtt'5-T',f 81 GO.
The original act of congress requires
canal ''of SUFFICIENT capacity and
depth to afford convenient passage for
vessels OF the largest tonnage and
deepest draft. and such as may be reas-
onably anticipated" and that it should
be supplied with all necessary locks
and other appliances to meet the ne
cessities OF vessels passing through the
same from ocean to ocean" The in
crease in the length and draft of ocean
steamships is going on so rapidly that
locks according to the original plan
would likely be too small to serve
ships that will be afloat by the time
the canal is opened to commerce. and
the administration has therefore wisely
decided in providing for the future TO
build as big as it's probable necessities.
1t is these locks and the two great
dams that are required, and not mere
excavation, which constitute the real
difficulties of the isthmian waterway,
and require the lions share Of the ex-
pense. The change of plan involves In
creased first expense, but a more than
proportionate increase of value.
