A MONUMENT TO MISS PELLY.

In the Evening Citizen of Saturday
a suggestion is made to the effect that
a suitable memorial to Miss Anna
Pelly in the form of a monument
should be erected at the spot where
the unfortunate young woman met
her death. A popular subscription is
mentioned which would permit every
one to contribute and assure gen
eral representation in the movement.
The Bulletin is very much in ac-
cord with the plan to a certain point
and would heartily favor the idea In
50 far as ii pertains to the erection
Of suitable memorial to Miss Pelly,
but it strongly believes that such a
monument should be placed at the
last resting place of the pure and
beautiful woman whose martyrdom
has meant and undoubtedly will
mean SO much to this community.
1t is learned that residents in the
locality where the last horrible scenes
of last Wednesday night were enact.

1t acted upon the fact that a white
cut-throat is no better than black
one and deserves the same fate.
The outrage may in theory be on
laws delays, the wearisome techni-
calities of legal procedure in criminal
trials. manufactured testimony, the
spinelessness of juries and weak and
vacillating governors ever ready to
commute sentences or to pardon
thugs altogether have much to do
with creating mobs and causing vio-
lent and barbarous mob outbreaks.
Governor Deneen's calling out of
ten companies of militia is the farci-
cal end of this superb tragedy drama.
The curtain has dropped on that play,
The band has ceased to play, the
crowd is gone, the lights are out, the
house is lark and it is over. This
outburst has done its work Of purify
ing and OF cleansing. and in that way
it has fully accomplished its heaven
destined purpose. There will be better
order in Cairo hereafter and greater
security.
Government, which all comes from
the people, sometimes, in the course
of nature, returns to the people Then
look out for something to happen.
The foul stain of that awful crime
could only be wiped out in this des-
perate way. Cairo has redeemed her
self. The spouters against it will by
their syllabub moralizing, not estab-
fish proof of their goodness OF
heart, but of their sortness Of head.
Long live the people! Long live

CAIRO'S CRITICS.

Much space is given up in this
mornings paper to opinions of the
pulpit, people and press. on the
tragic events in this city last week.
The opinions are so varied that all
readers, no matter what views they
may take, will find something to APP
prove. Some wild opinions are eX-
pressed, showing either lack of dis
eliminating power or a lack of knowl-
edge of the facts, and these are hard
ly worth considering, 1t would be
time wasted TO deny all the false
statements that are made, or to de-

last weeks affair was not a mob in
the ordinary sense OF the term. The
ten thousand people who surged
through the streets of Cairo were not

wanton destruction of property, or
the taking of innocent lives, as in
Springfield and other places From
its beginning to its terrible end the

the men engaged in it were sober.

on murder, but on furnishing muir

1t was protest against iawlessness-

to the hearts of the weaklings and
corruptionists in official circles of
the city and county who had for

wreck. Those rescued were saved in
the boats of the Onda. Many were
bitten by sharks.
The accident occurred about 4
O'Clock this morning in a thick haze.
The vessels were steaming at a good
speed and the LaSeyne was cut al
most in half. There was no time for
a panic nor for any attempt on the
part of the officers of the laundering
steamer to get out the boats. The
majority of those on board were
caught in their berths and carried
down with the vessel. The rescued

HOW WIND PRODUCES WAVES.
Its Action Upon Desert Sand and
Prairie Snow

There are wind waves in water
sand and tnUw. The great sea waves
are produced at that part of cyclone
where the direction of the wind coin
eides with the direction of advance
Of the depression. Along this line Of
advance the waves in their progress
are accompanied by a strong wind
blowing across their ridges as long as
the atmospheric depression is main
tanned. So the waves are developed
until they become steep. The average
height In feet is about half the velocity
Of the mind in miles
A wind of fifty-two miles an hour
gives waves of an average height of
twenty-six feet, although individual
waves will attain a height of forty
feet. The prevailing wind in all long
itudes Is westerly, so wherever d west
erly wind springs up 1t finds long
westerly swell, the effect of previous
wind still running, and the principal
effect of the newly born wind is TO IN
crease the steepness OF the already
running long swell so as to form ma
lestlc storm waves, which sometimes
attain length of 1900 feet from
crest TO crest. The longest swells due
to wind are almost invisible during
storms, for they are masked by the
shorter and sleeper waves, but they
emerge into view after or beyond the
storm.
The action Of the wind to drift dry
in the deserts. AS the sand waves
cannot travel by gravitation their
movements are entirely controlled By
the wind and they are therefore much
simpler and more regular in form and
movement than ocean waves. In their
greatest heights of several hundred
feet the former become more complex
owing to the partial consolidation OF
The lower layers Of sand by pressure,
but they still have the characteristic
wave features.
In the Winnipeg prairies of Canada

In a procession OF regular waves pro-
crossing with visible and ghostlike

sand waves, but less than half as

times a. great as the height. The

relatives of the deceased, for the pur-

But the thought that in some way
the lesson should be brought to mind
from time to time is good and
proper one if it can be done without
offending any particular neighborhood
or iniuring the city as a whole and
the suggestion is made that on the

lence.
In the first place the governor of
the state of Illinois is without legal
authority to arbitrarily rush troops
into any community of the state when
disorder threatens or Is in progress
unless the local authorities call upon
him for such assistance,
Under the law the sheriff of the
county has first authority in this
matter. and so long as he believes he
can cope with the situation and does
not call for assistance, no troops can
be sent.
The governor is subject to the call
of the local authorities.
In many respects it is proper that
it should be so. Otherwise. If there
should be an indscreet governor
elected he might often use hts at
thority over the state troops arbitra-

SAVIOR of Objectionable militarism.
But from whatever viewpoint one
may observe this matter, 1t is very
apparent there should be closer re-
lationship between the sheriffs of the
state and the governor In the matter
of suppression of mob violence. This
is a matter which the sheriffs' or
ganization of the state should take up
with energy, and let it be well drilled
into the minds of all sheriffs now and
hereafter that when mob violence
they should not wait until
the mob gets beyond their control.
but call upon the governor when mob
violence threatens and have troops on
the scene in time
For instance-On Tuesday of this
week an atrociogs crime was con-
United in Cairo which stirred UP the
storm of mob violence.
There was no thought Of troops.
Wednesday morning the news
papers throughout the state, the
State Register prominently among
them, played the situation up big.
The State Register headlines said
among things:
Excitement runs high. Crowd
gathers around Jail"
No word was said about troops.
Thursday morning, nearly forty
eight horrs after the commission or
the crime. the news reports again
told:
Jail surrounded by angry mob
"Lynching imminent
No word was said about troops.
Friday morning the news reports
said
Two men Iynchel at Cairo.
Then the sheriff asked for troops!
Obviously such an arrangement is
wrong. Ii might be advisable for the
governor and his staff to keep closer
watch upon any such evidence of
probability Of mob violence and to
communicate at once with the local
authorities advising them of the
readiness of troops, Phls would put
it up directly to the local authorities
whose duty it is to call for help the
moment danger arises of mob vio-
ience with which the local authorities
might not be able to cope.
The arm OF the law moves too much

handling mob violence in its incip-
iency.
