In the Pittsburg district there were

MISUNDERSTANDING 9TH. 1905.
Is THE NATIONAL GOVERN
MENT AFRAID?

AT this writing. no information
has been received as TO the arrest OF
any OF the persons connected with
the lynching of Ed Johnson. the
colored man who was charged with
criminal assault at Chattanooga.
Tennessee. On the other hand. 10
is boldly announced that an attempt
was made 90 burn down the resi-
dence OF Rev Dr. Howard L. Jones.
pastor of the First Baptist Church
OF that city simply because ne con-
jemned the mob that took John
sons life and thereby deded the
mandates OF the Supreme Court OF
the United States
The persons guilty OF this second
heinous onense have not been APP
pretended. The enquiry naturally
resolves itself into the question. Is
the national government afraid?
We are unwilling TO believe that
with an of the skill displayed by
some OF the best detectives in the
United States that 1t is an impossi-
bic feat 10 find out the names of
the men who lynched Johnson.
Past experience mas demonstrated
that often IL is the case of the dog
freeing the right man, but the
wrong one so far as the feelings of
tde community are concerned. The
result is that the dog is called OF.
We have taken much interest in
the affair. Certainly. if the lynch
ing is being probed by the United
States officials. the attempted de-
struction of the property OF DR..
Jones should be Investigated by the
city officials. 1t is asserted that
Rev. DIR. Jones and his friends fred
guns in order TO ascertain whether
or not the incondiaries were still in
the neighborhoOd of ais home. This
was a wise precaution and empha-
sizes the force of our contention
that firearms are a necessary ad
Junct 10 southern life. The time to
find lynchers is when they are
there and IL behooves every good cit
izen, both white and colored, to
own a repeating rifle or a shotgun
and to use it when the occasion de-
mands.
These weapons should be called
into service in UNFOLDING the law
and not in violating its DEGREES.
Conditions are indeed critical when
the national authorities hesitate 10
arrest murderers and pause on &C
count Of the excitement IN a COM
munity where a crime has been
committed. IL seems that the bold.
defiant, justice loving servant of
God from Virginia. who risks the
destruction OF his property in order
TO proclaim eternal truths is more
TO be commended than are the
sworn officers OF the law, both state
and federal. who as yet have accom-
plished nothing in the way of pun
ishing admitted violators of the
law.

MINERS NOT DISAPPOINTED

DID Not Expect New York Conference
TO Agree at First Meeting.
Philadelphia April Information
concerning the conference in New
York between the operators and the
Representatives Of the miners was ca
gerly sought by the idle workmen In
the hard coal region. Definite results
were not expected from the first meet
ing. and there was no disappointment
when IL was learned that the confer
rees had adjourned until Thursday. In
fact. the friendly spirit in which both
sides are reported to have met has
aroused throughout the region a feel
ing that the suspension Of work will
only be tempOrary. The situation re-
mains practically unchanged. In Sha-
mOkin the Enterprise colliery, owned
by w. l.. Council d Co. was operated
shorthanded by non-union men. In
Scranton the oxford colliery, a small
nonunion operation. and 20 washeries
were worked. Aside from these plants
there were no attempts in any part OF

SLEEPY HAS SPRING FEVER
Hewitt Gets InOcuIated with RaImy
Ozone and Tires Of
Jail Life.

SLEEPY" Hewitt. who has been in the
county Jail the last six months awaiting
trial on a charge Of breaking and enterinB
and grand larceny, will go to trial before
Judge Sutton Tuesday morning Sleepy
has been contented with his quarters at the
Jail until the last few days Whiffs Of
spring air percolating through the bars and
stories OF how the fish were biting at Cut
off lake related by newly arrived prisoners
have tended to make him restless and dis
contented with his lot. He wants a chance
to gain his freedom and the county at
torney will give him an immediate trial.
Last December he was allowed to with
draw his plea OF not guilty and enter one of
guilty. But when he found what the sentence
would be he gigged back to the not-guilty-
plea again. Since then he has been in Jail
almost long as his sentence would have
amounted to If he had accepted it at that
time.
He is accused OF breaking into a railroad
freight store house and stealing SEQ worth
Of goods.
