Sunday morning young Eisenhart
dressed for attendance at church, left
his home and passed in front of the

cry of terror came to his ears and he

from the blanched lips of Mrs. Peden

Leaping to the veranda of the

spring of the animal by grasping its
hind legs. With a twist he had hurled
it to one side, as Mrs. Peden turned

Eisenhart might have followed the
example of the woman, but, deter

he followed his advantage and re

it had recovered. One hand was
thrown to the animals throat and
with the other arm the daring stu

body, intending to run at once to his
home to confine his "subject." The
animal had other thoughts, and with

teeth in the hands that clutched in

Eisenhart, bleeding from his wound
would probably have failed in his
nervy attempt but for the appearance
of young man of the neighborhood

TELLING THEM FACTS.

From the lips of negro some of the people of New York heard words spoken a few nights ago that ought to set them to thinking. The occasion was A. meeting of the Central Federated Union of that city, and among the dele gates was a colored man named Wal lace. who said in his speech:
 I spent some time in the Southern states, where quick justice follows the crimes that are terrorizing New fork, and 1 witnessed one lynching. l must ing taking root in New York, but un- less there is a speedy change. l am afraid that lynching vii come New York has come to be a dumping gro9ndd d Almighty allows other cities to let loose If you go on the West Side you will find 1t swarming with loafers or all kinds. Now in the Southern states there is a vagrancy law by which loaf CTS who have no visible means or sup port are given a certain time to get out of the State. am sorry that we nave not such law here.
 What Wallace said about the danger of lynching was not mere idle talk, by any means, for not only the possibility hut the probability of mob law has more than once been hinted at by peo- ple who would probably denounce lynching in the South. Some of the crimes which have been committed in New York are enough to make the sanest and most level-headed men in the city think seriously on the prob able necessity. if not the propriety of administering justice outside the forms of law. There Is a limit to human patience with crime, even in New York. and some of those who condemn the South for sometimes resorting to lynch ing, may yet see the time when they will look on the subject differently. It would be a lamentable outcome of the conditions existing there. but we can not say that it would be wholly unex- pected-
 As Wallace said in his speech, New York has become the dumping ground for the refuse of all nations. Not only do the unsavory and undesirable char acters from all portions of the Old World seek safety and immunity on this side the ocean, but it is freely charged that some of the European nations gladly seize every opportunity to unload on us their own scum, fnd-

ing that course to be the easiest plan to' rid themselves of the evil classes they are glad to be rid of. It is an easier and cheaper plan than dealing with them at home.
 Under such conditions. 1t is not at all strange that the great city is i'm Tested and infected with every class of criminals and every variety of crime known to humanity. Nor is it strange. perhaps, that the authorities are un- able to apply an effectuai remedy. That muck more could be done in the way of preventing and punishing crime than is now done. seems undeniable, but the authorities and police force appear to be helpless. A vagrant law that is ef- fective in the smaller cities of the South would afford some relief If rigidiy enforced. but even that is not tried. Truly, New York is in an un- enviabie condition, and if remedy is not found and applied good people may well feel discouraged.

HERE'S A MESS .


 In the newspapers of last Thursday there appeared brief dispatch which wag calculated to cause a distinct shock to the entire country. It read this way:
 Boston. Aug. 7.-District Attorney Moran today ordered summons for the entire common council. seventy-ive members. in connection with charges of bribery in the passage of the loan bill of a million and half dollars last month.
 Now what are we to think of that coming from the very hub Of the uni verse? That was merely the prelimi- nary or precursive tremor of the quake that is to jar us and cause all the people to set up and take notice. Mr. Moran has evidently gone at 1t in dead earnest. He has instructed the grand jury to sift the charges in the most thorough manner. He has had witnesses summoned some of them being men who were concerned in the alleged bribery, graft. or whatever one may choose to call it. In the words of The Boston Globe, he is 'to take every councilman in turn" and that the grand jury will hear what any or all of them can tell"
 This looks as if there may be som > thing doing in Boston. It is a grave and important matter. bill involv- ing a million and a half of dollars is not a trifie. and the charge that there was bribery in connection with the passage of the bill Is a serious one. Is it--can it--be that official Boston has followed official Philadelphia and is going to be held up to the world as another hot bed of corruption? The very thought is enough to raise goose bumps all over the nation. Not that Boston is especially the abode of saints. but certainly we were not pre- pared to hear that seventy-five off, cials of the city were to be put on trial for bribery. That is entirely too much.
