THE ADANA MASSACRE.

The Portland Oregonion says; 1t is
probable that the present Turkish
government would welcome evidence
which would justify 1t in the eyes of
the world and decent Turks In trying
Abdul Hamid by military commission
and hanging him like any other muir
derer. So far as the Turks are con-
cernej, their history shows that they
never inquire what becomes of de-
posed sultans and apparently are not
specially interested In such matters,
but a public hanging, after trial, for
an ordinary crime might not appeal
to them as proper thing. 1t Is pos
sible, also, that 1t might shock the SEN
sibllities Of other European govern
ments. That he deserves hanging Is
apparently true, but whether he will
get 1t remains to be seen. 1t is hardly
probable. There Is unQuestionably a
feeling among the people of monar-
chial countries ,and especially among
reigning houses, that 1t is unwise to
treat those who are or have been
among the Lords anointed precisely
as might be proper in the case of or
dinary men, If, as has frequently hap
pened, 1t has been deemed necessary
OF desirable to permanently dispose of
them, there is a feeling that publicity
should be avoided.

be synonymous with religious hatred
1t is surprising that religion, and es.

corner stone is in the love of ones fel-
low men, should be the cause Of the
most deadly hatreds and the most
awful cruelties which def1le the pages
OF history. But 1t has been assumed
To be the result of minds unbalanced
by continuous brooding over unfathom

some exciting cause into leadership in

VOTE AGAINST THE INCREASE
IN TAXATION.

On June s the people Of Utah will
be called upon to vote for or against
q special tax to be applied to the
building OF 4 state capitol In Salt
Lake City. This paper IS opposed to
any increase in taxation, however
worthy be the cause. The property
owners are To-Day taxed to the utmost.
Put in order to present both sides of
the proposition, we here reproduce
q statement issued by Governor Spry
Thursday. as follows:
Utah has reached position Of dig
nity among her sister states, and in
the maintenance of that position 1t is
eminently proper and fitting that she
Should have state capitol. Our i'm
mediate sister states. not more rich
ly favored than Utah, are now pos
sessed of capitol buildings which are
comfortable, commodious, and digni-
fled monuments to the states for which
they stand.
Business judgment, above all else,
demands that we erect capitol build
ing at once. The state is paying an
nually a large rental for quartering
The various officers of government
Consider with this the Inconvenience
of having the various Offices scatter
ed throughout the city, making the
transaction OF business between the
several departments cumbersome and
Blow, and you have advanced tho
strongest possible argument for the
immediate erection of a capitol build
ing.
No state In the union Is favored
with a more Ideal site for its capitol
building than Utah Within the past
sixty days / have been shown a letter
from leading architect of the United
States In which he says that on the
occasion Of i visit to Salt Lake City
como years ago he made a visit to the
capitol grounds and has given the
question of a capitol building for that
site some thought. The result of that
inspection and the subsequent con-
sideration convlnces him that the Utah
capitol site Is wonderful in its posi-
bilities of treatment from an archi
tectural viewpoint. The streets run
ming to the capitol grounds from var
ious directions OF the compass, the
prominence of the site and the mag
niilcent view from the city combine Il
make 1t susceptible to the most won
derful architectural effects"
The architectural possibilities will
little interest the taxpayers. The dec
laration that a capitol is necessary vii
be placed against the fact that thu
people of Utah are oyertaxed and un
able to stand a greater taxation.
1t is proposed to add to the rate o
taxation ono mill each year for tel
years. Today each mill weighs dow,

WHITE MAN FATALLY WOUNDS
MuLATTO WOMAN.

Watertown, Tenn. July 21.-James
Wood, a well-known white man, and a
man of good family connection, about
60 years of age, lies dead with a bull
let hole in his head. jessie Coates,
a good-looking mulatto woman of most
questionable character, lies dying
with the wounds inflicted by five
shots. Wood had been supporting
the woman for some time. A few
weeks ago she refused his support,
with the above result. He met her
Wednesday morning, and after a few
words, shot her. Then going to his
home he resisted arrest, and later, Of
ficers going to arrest him, found him
lying on a bed stiff in death with a
bullet hole through the head.

PYTHIAN MIDDLE.

When the Grand Lodge of the Order
of knights of Pythias convened in an
nuaf session in this city last week 1T
was anticipated that representatives
of the white Pythians of the state
would give them some trouble. 1t
had been published in the daily pa
pers that such step was under con-
sideration, and it was known that a
committee had been appointed for
that specific purpose, with power to
act. The Grand Lodge convened, and
the expected intruders were so long
putting in their appearance that many
began to feel relieved. But such a
feeling was soon dispelled. The in
junction was served, but the business
of the meeting went on just as if moth
ing had happened. The injunction
was a mild affair compared to the
muddle caused by a few dissatisfied Py-
thians. 1t seems impossible nowadays
for Negro lodges to hold a meeting
without the interference of some dis
turbing element, and usually the dis
satisfied parties have no just ground
for complaint. But the worst aspect
of the whole affair was the calling
in of the county sheriff. There was
absolutely no need for such an act.
The sheriff himself stated that every
thing was quiet when he reached the
hall, and he did not find any one with
a weapon of any sort. The Pythians
are thoroughly organized and conduct
their business in the most orderly
manner. But there are some members
of that Order who would destroy the
interest of every member to let the
world know they are in it. These
are disturbing elements. The Order
of Knights of Pythias and all others
need a law whereby they can rid the
Orders of such characters They ought
to be put down and out forever and
ever.

REGISTRATION.

In a short while the regular regis
tration will be held throughout the
state. The certificates issued at this
time will last until the next regular reg
istration unless the parties holding the
same change their place of residence.
There is no cost attached to this quail
ification, the voter only has to go to
the registration place and answer the
questions asked by the clerk, so there
is absolutely no excuse for any one
being without these certificates. 1t is
not improper to ask your neighbor
if he has registered, and it is the duty
of every one to urge his neighbor to
register. The man who is a qualified
voter is the man of influence. He is
the man who has a say about his own
affairs and the public affairs of others
Every Negro man in Tennessee
should register, pay his poll tax and
vote in every election. The young
men have been and are now too in
different about their franchise. 1t is
a sacred gift, and should be looked
upon as such.

1t is an indisputable fact that
where law ceases, anarchy begins; and
vice versa, where anarchy begins, law
ceases. This, we repeat, is true.
Mob violence is anarchism, and anar-
chism is hatred of and antagonism to
law and it's orderly process. Be it
said with dead moral certainty that
the government that cannot check or
smother anarchism will eventually
totter to its fall. It's end is a catas-
trophe, such as characterized those
which history gives account of that
passed that way-the way marked by
blood, wantonly drawn, oppression
and the destruction of the liberties of
a weaker people.
To what extent, we gods! i'll this
condition to go? We know it IS of
fensive to ask this question, but it is
wholly within the confines of reason.
If the government, under its laws,
cannot guarantee to every citizen a
safe, speedy and impartial trial. then
what does that government stand for?
Why are those who operate the gov
eminent and its laws so silent and
passive toward that element ever
pregnant with the desire to seize upon
every conceivable excuse or pretence
to uproar the general peace and pour
the milk of sweet concord into hell?
1t is as unwise and unsafe for them
selves and their posterity to allow this
spirit of anarchism to continue it's un-
holy growth as for those upon whom
1t feeds. Is it not sowing to the
winds, planting of dragons teeth?

Mob Violence.

To the Nashville Globe:
The devilish institution which holds
forth in the South known as the
mob utterly disregards the law, taking
upon itself, presumptively, the lib
erty to mete out summary punishment
in the form of death by hanging, burn
ing or drawing and quartering any
alleged Negro criminal or suspect
that falls into it's hands. This assump-
ton of the rightful function of the
sovereign and allsufficient law by IT.
responsibles who ever thirst for
blood is the damnable and crying evil
of the times and a hellish stigma
upon the civilization of the age.
It matters not what the nature of
the charge made against colored
man, frivolous or serious, from that of
purloining a chicken to that of an
alteration with white man, he is
subjected to the possibility, nay the
probability, of being hanged, burned
or quartered. This ought not to be so
in a so-called Christian land, where the
entire machinery of the law, in every
conceivable and implied sense, is in
the hands of the race whose members
riot and revel in these constant recur-
ring, bloody and sickening executions
of men without the least sanction of
law. This awful condition of things
along that particular line is a griev-
Gus sin, an inhuman outrage that cries
for remedy. 1t is well to ask, where
is the end? Will it go on to the crack
of doom? Can the white man not
abide with patience the due process
of the law made, interpreted and ex
ecuted by himself?

of this opportunity to learn something
about scientific farming, if circum-
stances will permit him to do so. 1t
often occurs that there is a scarcity of
certain products on the markets of the
South, and of articles that are grown in
every garden, but our farmers and
truck raisers lose sight of the fact
that the markets of the North and
East are constantly calling on the
South for foodstuffs, and it too often
finds the Southern farmer unable to
supply the demand. The man who has
the article to sell will in every case
let the highest bidder have it. Not
being accustomed to paying fancy
prices in the South the Northern man
gets the goods and the man at home
has to do without. The Negroes OF
the South can relieve this situation,
and will if his white brother will let
him do it. Encourage him to do farm
ing. Allow him to own some Of the

shows signs of prosperity that night
riders will not fall on him in the
night and drive him from his home.
