THE LYNCHING RECORD.

1t is a noticeable fact that the past
year has the lowest lynching record in
twenty years. The number of murders
by mobs fell to So. And this Is rem
dcred stll more remarkable by the fact
that the number Of murders and
homlcldes rose to 9,2i2. Sixty-hve OF
the victims Of mob fury were negroes.
1t is probable that the sentiment OF
the South Is undergoing change for
the better and this should be still fur

very largely due to Gov. Montague OF

OUR CANDID OPINION.

1t IL not surprising that objection
should be raised by some of the Sena-
tors who are members of the commit
tee on privileges and elections, at the
discourtesy which is disclosed by the
publication OF matters connected with
the case of Senator Reed Smoot. and
which are supposed to be private and
not for communication to the general
public. 1t IL clear that some person or
persons on that committee are respon-
sible for the alleged leakages, also for
jumping at tho conclusion that certain
members are for and others against
the gentleman whose rights have been
under investigation. while the case Is
still open and no official or formal con-
clusIon has been reached and no re-
port agreed TO,
The improperly OF which those Sem
ators have just reason to complain is
bad enough, but It does not equal the
turpitude OF the course pursued by one
active member OF that committee, who
has not only exhibited strong animus
against the defendant throughout the
examination, but has publicly and re-
peatedly rendered his decision against
the Senator through the public press
and on the political stump Senator
Fred Y. Dubois, who has aided the
cause of the protestants from the very
beginning. and that without any dts
guise, went on the platform and gave
articles to the press over his own sig
nature. before the committee adjourned

THE MUNICIPAL CHANGES.

Tho appointments made by the Mayor

Swallowed in this paper, There was no
fsctlous opposition to the slate prepared
by the majority, and It Is 20 be hoped
that the absence OF wrangling and per-
sonalties IN the proceedings OF the
council. will be characteristic of the
new administration throughout It's term
Of office. There will be differences Of
opinion. Of course, and there should be
the utmost freedom In their expression.
But we hope the courtesy and regard
for each others views that ought to
be entertained by gentlemen viii be
exhibited in the course of the new coun-
ell.
The percmptory removal OF William
J. Lynch as Chief OF Police, although
expected. calls for some remarks con-
corning his official career. Removal

reason alleged for the change. because
that Is the legal phrase as cause for
such action. The proposition was con-
CURED In, while some members OF tho
council did not endorse the idea thus OK
pressed. The truth is, Chief Lynch has
made clean, competent and conserva-
tive public officer, and there has been
more harmony and less obstruction and
discomfort among the members OF the
police force during his incumbency,
than for many years previously.
There may have been some cause for
complaints about the prevalence OF
gambling and Kindred evils during the
last few weeks of his control OF the
police department, but Investigation
will show that he was carrying out an
understood policy of the city adminis-
tratlon. that was not new by any means
and for which he was not personally re-
sponsible. Nor do we attempt TO offe,
any apology for It, or have anything
further to say concerning II, except
that the cutlery raised was simply par
tisan and Intended. not for the public

The Idaho crime was more than MUIR

degenerate representatives Of European
civilization. Their crimes was not OF
