sAVAGERY IN SPRINGFIELD

The hooligans of Springfield, ILL.,, were in their
element on Friday night. An abominabie crime
had been committed, the perpetrator OF wnlch
was promptly arrested and imprisoned, with
every possible prospect of being punished 10
the full extent of the law. That prospect was
not however satisfactory to the hoohgans. On
tbe contrary. it seems to have been distinctly
unsatisfactory and irritating. The mob was
doubtless indignant at the commission of the
crime but its chief fury was reused by the fact
that n quick witted and tactful Sheriff mad sue
ceeded in reserving the criminal for the orderly
processes of the law, instead of surrenderlng
him to the caprices of lawless savagery
Accordingly it determined to have victim
anyway If 1t could not punish IN illegal faSh-
ion the guilty man, 1t would make some 1nno-
cent folk pay in his stead the penalty OF
baked mob passions. SO it set out to commit
larceny, arson and murder on wholesale scale
and 1t did so to an extent and with a success
which were doubtless pleasing to its criminal
instincts, until the bullets of the militia cooled
its lawless ardor The balance sheet was made
up Yesterday. On the one side, a brutal and
revolving assault, which was practically certain
to be punished promptly to the full extent OF
the law On the other side, four or more per-
sons killed. some of them quite innocent Oh
wrongdong, some dozens injured, ana num-
Der of shops and houses plundered and burned
and a monstrous stain put upon the good name
of the capital city of the third state of this
Union.
1t would be superfuous to remark that such
a transaction does not pay. All whose OPINION
is worth anything were convinced OF that be-
fore. The others, those who did this thing, are
not easily to be convinced Of anything save
under the impact of bullet. The episode was
simply an outbreak of that savagery which sui
fingers among reputedly civilized folk, mingled
with that criminality which seems lrrepresslDle
even in the most enlightened states. There is
no occasion for being censorious against
Springfield. The city, the old home OF LIN
coin. was shamed and disgraced by the deeds
of Friday night, but in that 1t merely shared
the shame and disgrace of many other commu-
1.ities in many states and in all parts OF the
Union. 1t is a depressing reflection that such
things so persistently occur But no sucn de-
Iression should be sufficient to deter every
law-abiding citizen from exerting every effort
to make such savagery as infrequent as pos
sible,. and as costly possible to its perpet-
traitors in the only way which counts with such
as they; and perhaps, one of these days, TO
make it altogether unknown in land OF law.

TURKEY AND THE POWERS.

One of the most encourag ging and, indeed
assuring features of the Turkish situation is
the attitude toward it which has been assumed
and is apparently to be sincerely maintained
by the great powers, which hitherto have been
Of necessity intervening to a considerable ex
tent in the internal affairs of the empire, espe-
cially in Macedonia. We have heard not
single unfriendly comment upon the revolution
from any European capital, nor any procama-
ton of intention to disregard it and TO con-
tinue Intervention, but, the contrary most
expressions of sentiment have been decidedly
sympathetic and the prevailing opinion I'M
uues; ;ionably is that which was agreed upon at
Ischl the other day by Baron Won Aehrenthal
and Sir Charles Hardinge-who may conf
IDENTITY be supposed to have reflected the minds
of the Emperor and the King-that the only pos
sible course for the powers is to extend active
sympathy to those who are trying to establish
an enlightened rule in Turkey and to refrain
from any action which might prove embar-
RAISING to them.
That must mean, of course, that Intervention
in Macedonia is not to be pressed, but that the
new Turkish administration is to have an OPP
portunity itself to work out the necessary re-
forms Happily the Turks themselves, while
eager to undertake the work in those vexed
vilayets, are not unreasOnably exigent in their
demands for evacuation. AT Seres are told,
q numerous deputation of Turkish officials and
notables reminded the French commander of
the gendarmerie that the presence of a foreign
officer was violation of the sovereignty of the
empire; yet they added, they realized that the
continued presence of himself and the other
foreign officers necessary for time, and
they desired that he and they would remain
until the domestic system could be satisfacto-
rily and efficiently reorganiZed and the
Turkish government and parliament could re-
adjust the relations of the empire with the
powers That was a most commendable course
for them to pursue, and 1t Is pleasant to OBJ

blizzard raging But Americans turned
out strongly in three of the wards Of
the city, and made splendid nomina
tions for membership in the Board Of
Education.

Smith, an old resident, a prominent
business man, one deeply interested in
the schools, man of family and of
high repute, was named as the eandi.
date. 1t was worthy nomination, and
Mr.. Smith is slated for election. 1t is
an American ward, and he is going to
put up winning fight. Strong COM
mlttees will cooperate for his election.
In the Fourth ward, Mr.. Bismarck
Snyder, q man well known, highly re-
spected, emnently ct, and popular, is
the nominee. Mr.. Snyder is lawyer,
be takes a deep interest in the school
work. He will command the full vote
of the lovers Of the schools in his ward.
He has a hard fight before him TO win,
but we believe that he is just the man
to make that Gght
In tho Fifth ward, Mr., Joseph
Oberndorfer, the present incumbent, is
the nominee. His term of service on
the board has endeared him to the peo.
pie Of the ward so that he will have
no opposition. 1t was fit that he should
be thus endorsed
In the First ward there was a mis-
understanding as to the place OF meet

evening, in Judge Whitaker's S court
