No Discrimination by Judge Lynch. Many of the more rabidly partisan Re i publican party newspapers throughout the j east and west appear to be reveliug in the 1 throes of frenziel surprise because an impetuous throng of Lruisiama citizens while excited with indignation at the brutality of a drunken white man who willfully shut down a respectable negro women wp-sted the offender from the prison officials aod summarily hanged him to the most convenient tree. Such an occurrence merely exemplifies the scrupulously impartial if somewhat im patient sense of exact justice that prevails jin Louisiana. Taking into account the motley elements that predominate in the I states of New York anil Illinois that have been for yea s dominated bv the practical politicians of the Republican party, one can much more readily perceive why these trained partisans of the most bitterly partisan press on the American continent tind themselves completely bewildered by actual justice and utterly unable to under stand such a condition of affairs. To their biased minds the hanging of a negro by an alleged “southern mob” has apparently always meant merely one less negro and another substantial republican vote lost forever. However repulsive the character of the man or however horrible the nature of the crime he had committed to bring upon him such a penalty in ex piation was wholly lost sight of in the raving reseatmeut of partisan hostility toward the people mainly and incidentally the occurrence that had de prived them of a voter in the interest of justice. Yet it would mani festly be very bad policy to allow outlaws and malefactors to run at large merely because they habitually vote the republican ticket. Were capital punishment abolished and state prisons demolished Xhe frenzied hosts of the Republican party might with the resistless sweep of one wild tidal wave override the whole country. Obviously that could not be allowed. Our national constitution provides that the rights of the defenseless and the unoffending must be pro tected. Confessedly the numbsr of negroes sum marily executed in the state of Louisiana— let us say—far exceeds the number of whites similarily punished for crime. Yet that Is but natural. Close study of the most accu rate statistics of crime in the gulf states will show that an overwhelmingly large pro portion of the criminals are negroes. That is also but natural. They are yet compara tively ignorant and have by no means fully recovered from the intoxication of a sud denly acquired liberty that under the incen diary teachings of unscrupulous partisan republican adventurers they blunderingly construed as license to violate any la w that tended to trammel the wildest freaks of thd; unbridled desires. Conseqectiy hundreds of ignorant negroes Lave w.thin tie past quarter of a century paid with their Uvea the jienalty of merely following the malignant teachings of crafty and unscrupul us visiting political counsel ors who incontinently deserted them as soon as they got into the clutches of the law. But the negro hat learned better than that now. Gradually be is forsaking the evil ways of pcfcen.ing vampires who merely wish to prdst by his difficulties and Lis downfall. With the rapid acquirement of educa tion and the growth ittei.igaace he is 'proßper.Eg and cutting adrift from the ••entargling alliances” that tare hitherto retarded his advancement. Thus Le gets his actual right* and enjoys them. Ami any person of any shade of color who at tempt* to deprive h;m of them is very promptly and peremptorily- punished. Nowhere within the broad expanse of this great republic do the people manifest a more profound regard for law and order than do the white men of that particular portion of this union of states that is commonly denomi nated ‘‘tho south.” That is plainly at tested by tho intolerant impatience with which they hasten to express their vory positive disapproval of any gross infraction of the statutes. Night School Teacbere. A committee of the board of education will meet to-night to select teachers for the night school, which is to be a part of the pub lic school system of this county. The grand jury authorized the county commissioners to put in the tax budget $5,000 for this snhool, and there will be that amount to support it. It is evident that the school can be made the means of doing a great deal of good. If good and capable teaobers are chosen, and car a is exercised in spending the money appropriated to it, there is every reason to believe that it will become a blessing to the community. The committee of the board of education will undoubtedly discharge their duty con scientiously, but is it ns well qualified to select teachers for the school as a committee composed of the principal teachers of the public schools would be* The principal pub lic school teachers know what qualifications teachers in the night should have aid they are well fitted for finding out who of the applicants for the positions possess those qualifications. Would it uot there fore be advisable for the committee of the bsard of education to recommend the appointment of a committee of the princi pal teachers of the public schools to select night school teachers rathbr than disoharge that duty itself* Tho wish of every oue is that competent and capable teachers shall have charge of the night school, and the course suggested seems to be the best one for securing such teachers. And why not spend a portion of the $5,00U iu educating giris who desire to be come self-supjKirting; There are a good many girls in this county who are capable of becoming type write iv, bookkeepers and clerks, and with bolp from the night schools they could easily prepare themselves for seine useful employment. Republican editors seem to be having a “heap o’ trouble this load o’ poles” iu doing their campaign work to their own satisfac tion. (July a few days ago a Mt. lxmis Gtobc-lh ntaeral man let off a most dole fully hariowing recital of a recent expcri* epee under a big and black headline making the startling anuosncement that it it “No Joke to ba Tarred and Feathered.” i'oetibly some of hi* environing constituent* might with equal truth retort that it s no jokn to be maligned merely to mska a partisan holi day.

Why Tim Was Offered a Fortune. To all outward apnea ranees the case of j the foster son of Mrs. Hopkins-Searles is | only another exempli flea tion of the injuri \ ous effects upon the lower order of human I nature consequent upon the rare weakness of being too indulgently kind to the friemd [ less. When Mrs. Mark Hopkins with her nat ive benevolence took the boy Tim Nolan into her homo he was depending upon a mother who earned her living by manual labor. Kindly she cared for him and made him her special protege. Not only did she give him food and raiment but maternal sympathy and counsel as well, and by the influence of education and the home sur roundings of intelligence aud refinement she faithfully and nobly tried to make of him a worthy man and the most perfect possible semblance of a genuine gentleman that care and expensive training could reasonably be expected to effect without the aid of inhereut fundamental priuciples of that condition. So long as her husband lived the boy re mained the protege of Mrs. Hopkins aDd notuing more. Shrewd aud experienced old Mark Hopkiue would not hear of ad mitting him to a closer relationship. Sub sequent events tended to confirm the sound ness of the old gentlemau’s judgment. Notwithstanding the objections of her husband the sott-hearted and lonely old lady soon sucoumbed to her sympathies, and after the death of Mark Hopklus made the youth, then grown up, her adopted sou aud heir to all of her millions. No sooner was Mr. Tim thus comfortably installed than he began to gradually dis close the proverbial cloveu foot. Imme diately “feeling his oats” with tb most ostentatious consciousness he straightway proceeded iu such a course os to make bis kind foster mother speedily regret that she had ever taken him into her home. Long before she met Mr. .Searles the poor woman is said to have realized with due re gret that she bad nurtured a viper with the usual disastrous results. Feeling that he was in the saddle and held the reins, as it were, he attempted to ride over his foster mother rough shod whenever an opportu nity offered. By way of illustrating the manner of man that he turned to be a Bin fie Incident in point that is related by a member of the family will suffice. After choosing a wife In direct conflict with the expressed wishes of Mrs. Hopkins he is said to have calmly proceeded with her out to the San Francisco mansion. Entering the dining-room for the first post-nuptial dinner Tim led the way with bis newly-acquired bride and seated her in the chair usually occupied by Mrs. Hopkins at the head of the table. Although the old lady immediately noticed the direct affront she made no scene by a complaint. Instead she walked up to the chair and with her usual tact and perfect composure smilingly said to the bride: “I will thank you for my seat.” Very much to Tim’s Inward chagrin and unconcealed wrath she got it without delay. Most likely she never forgot it either. But that was only one of many similar occurrences that are related by her friends to show that her dislike for Tim was of long standing and well grounded. Therefore they declare that the $3,000,000 —and not $10,000,000 —that Mr. Searles really offered to pay him was virtually to restrain Tun from going upon the witness stand and venting his ill will upon hi* dead benefactress. Merely to protect the memory of his wife Mr. Searles was willing to give to Tim a vast sum of money, to which he has no recog nized actual right and only the shadow of a tangible legal claim. Now that the case in the probate court hss been decided against him, it looks os if he would not get any thing. Had the sympathetic Mrs. Hopkins al lowed Tim to remain in poverty and be buffeted about and to grow up and work out his own peouuiary salvation, probably the inevitable hard thumps of constant con tact with the rugged surface of adversity might have worn off many of the rough edges and tended to somewhat toaiper the pristine brininess of his nature, so ss to make of him a more or less just and humane man and useful citizen, if not a polished gentleman. But the ossified tendons of so in frangible an organization naturally proved altogether impervious bo the soft influences of binevolenoe and sympathetic instruction. Just hers is whore we discover ample justification and confirmation of the old aphorism that -’blood tells” iu the develop mont of the man as well as in the speed aud mettle of his beast. Baltimore is at present the scene of a rather feverish prohibition fight that is waxing fierce. While all th 9 small cigar mil candy shops, confectionories and hakerie- were closed by the police Sunday morning last at least half a dozen big saloons in the cen ter of the city are said to have had their side doors open and were selling w hisky aud cigars. Those placas have a hotel license. Patrons are required to register at a desk near tho bar. They write any fictitious name they please, aud are thea shown to a room, where they can have cigars and liquors served to them at the regular prices. Those establishments are alleged to be un der the “protection” of the police. At a recent meeting of the l'resby te; ian minis ters it was declared that the police were do ing their utmost to kill tho Sunday law. They charge that a trivial war was being made on the bootblacks while the true in tent of the law was not carried out. Though a man was arrested for sweeping off the steps of the Presbyterian mission school certain saloons were permitted to bs open. Such flagrant frivolity and invidious dis crimination causes tee Presbyterian soul to swell with Indignation. Provocation of that sort is certainly sufficient to warrant all the reseutment they are capable of engen dering among themselves, disking an op pressive law odious Is all well enough in its way provided the officers proceed about its enforcement in an impartially Just aud proper manner. But there is no apparent oppression in the Baltimore lair.

Do you recollect of risking your life one dark, stormy night in crawling over a freight train to warn a green brakeman about a dangerous overhead bridge below Attica?’ ' •You bet 1 do: But you’re not Billy, the brakesman?” ‘“No. sir. No more Billy in mine; it's Will —sw'eet Will - the conductor on the through passenger.’ and he broke out into a musical laugh that noarly rattled the dishes on theluncn couoter. • The tears came to my eyes in spite of me, for I was weak, weary and boartsirtc. He noticed them, and, clasping my ha id, said, in the sweetest words that ever fell on mortal ears: -•Come, come! Shut her off and oil the valves,’ and he led me to a stool at ihe lunca counter and said: ” ‘.Now, you sit. here and fill up. Lot a few biscuit* bit the chair and you will be all richt agaiD.’ "He stepped Into the dispatcher's office to get his orders while I poured down coffee that would discount the nectar of the gods. He appeared iu about ten minutes ind said: ‘AU aboard tor Lafayette,’ took me by the arm and led me to a coach, an ! then steppe! back to the platform and waved his moss agnte at the engi neer. I curled up in the seat wneu the train started to hide the tears that kejd Welling up in my eyes, and for the first twenty long years I could have cried like a babv. I believe in a special providence siuee thaf terrible night and in the morning I was hetfft broken: and Bill —the sweetest Will on oart*i Is still pulling a bell-cord iu the varnished cars o i the old Wabash.” A Dog’s Fine Mathematical Head.

Bobby barked once. "Suppose 1 take 0 cents away, how many will be left?” Bobby looked up at his master, wagged hi3 tail and was silent. "That's correct, Bobby; nothing would be left,” said the master “You are a very good dog. Go into tbe shop and be careful to abut the door behind you, because the day is chilly.

The teacher of one of the primary classes of a school out in the western addition of San Francisco propounded a question the other day which proved a "stumper" to her juvenile students. She was giving them lessons in patriotism, and they had successfully explained the inuaomg of the Fourth of July celebration and how we "had lirkod the Britishers twice and could do it again." Then the subject of the flag was taken up, and the class was asked to explain the meaning of the stars with which it was adorned. This was pretty easy, but when she asked who could tell what the thirteen stripes meant, evory ohild was mute. "What: do s oue of you know what they mean?” she re peated, There was silence for a minute or two, when up jumped a little tot of (> or 7 years, her face agiow with the consciousness of knowledge not shared by her schoolmates. She snapped her fingers in approved fashion to attruot at tention, and whi n the teacher gave her per mission to sp-ak she explained: • I knew why the flag has thirteen stripes. It’s because there were thirteen people at the Lord's last supper.” At all events the child's religious education had not been neglected. England is the only place I know of where they drive to the loft, says a writer in the New York Home Journal. English drivers say that by sitting on the right ani driving to the left they can better watch the hubs of approaching vehicles, und thus prevent collisions. I don’t exactly understand this, but it is the explana tion they give for driving to the left, Quick going vehicles wid turn a corner sharply, but the driver raises his whip to notify the vehicle In Ids immediate rear that lie is about to turn. "Cabbies ' are more considerate concerning fel low drivers than they are thoughtful about lh i lives and limbs of pedestrians. All their attention is given to the road way.

Sweeter* and the writer were driving up the Pennsylvania Water Canon, and as we turned a bond we saw a doe and a voung fawn drinking from the stone ditch. At our approach the animals were startled, says the Banning Herald, and in attempting to turn and run the poor little fawn lost its balance and fell into the ditch. As many of our readers know, tbe water runs very swiftly and In great volume up there, and, of course, the fawn was carried down stream. The mother deer seemed to loose all fear of us. and ran along the edge of the ditch trying to reach her offspring with her head Suddenly she ran ahead of the floating fawn for some little distanoe. She plunged into the ditch with her head down stream and her hindouar ters toward the fawn. She braced her fore feet firmly in tbe crevices of the rocks to resist the rush of water. Iu a second the fawn was washed up ou its mother's back, and it instinct ively clasped her neck with its fore legs The doe then spraDg from the ditch with the fawn ou her bac. She lay down, and the baby deer rolled to the ground in an utterly exhausted condition. W e were now not more than thirty feot from tbe animals, but the mother, seem ingly unconscious of our presence, licked and fondled her offspring for a few minutes until it cose to its feet, and tho doe and fawn then trotted off up the mountain. Recently Mrs. Asa R. Woods, a respectable widow of the town of Washington, Pa., aston ished her friends by telling them that ahe had come into a fortune of $240,000 in a very unex pected and romantic manner. She had been considered a woman of more than ordinary hard sense, and when she told the story of her good luck the neighbors believed it was true especially as she displayed documentary evi dence that appeared to settle all doubt Mrs Woods’ story was that William H.
