"Some good Western man” Is again a campaign cry. It has been raised by the Ch.tago papers. In the matter of the sue csesorshlp to ex-Sjeaker Reed. Gov. Johnston of Alabama is afraid that If "gold men" were permitted to sit In the proposed constitutional convention, it would be a ''partisan'" body and write a "'partisan” constitution. Apparently what the Governor understands to be a non partisan convention is one In which all of the delegates shall be of hts way of think ing. The Mobile Register has polled the press of Alabama en Gov. Johnston's call for an extrd session of the legislature to repeal the act calling a constitutional con vention. It finds that the Governor ts op posed by eighty-thre© Democratic papers, while he Is supported by seven Democrat ic, three Republican and two Populist newspapers. If the newspapers correctly reflect public opinion, the convention will be held, despite the Governor’s tardy op position. It appears that tn Chicago, also, there •re street cars without fenders; and on Thursday last two little children were kill ed by them, while on the day before one Ittfle chin suffered death In a similar manner. Naturally there is considerable agitation in Chicago to force the company owning the fenderless cars to provide those reasonable and proper safeguards to llfo and limb. There should be such agita tion In Savannah, and It should not cease or let up until every car In service is provided with a satisfactory fender. Mrs. Fayne Strahan Moore ts billed to make her theatrical debut In New York this week. She will not be an attraction at one of the leading theaters, but will pose In a second-class place as a figure •round which will be performed a bur lesque of the recent adventures which got her into JaU and her husband -Into state's prison. The understanding |s that she will go on the road with a company after a time; but she cannot play In Chicago. The legislature of Illinois a short time ago passed an act making it unlawful for any person who has gained notoriety through a criminal act to appear in theatricals in that state. The grave and reverend commissioners of the District of Columbia have, after mature deliberation, decided that it is not In good form for families residing in the f i.enable pans of the city of Washing ton to hang their weekly wash In the front yards to dry; in short that the stringing of anii is, and socks, and nighties, and other things, in the front yard is a nuis ance and must be slopped. It appeals from the evidences that Congressman J, I! Show alter, of the Twenty-fifth district of Pennsylvania, was the originator of the practi c -or at least. It originated at hi* liouse. Whether these exhibitions led to any contests in the display of fine linen is not known, but it can be umkratood very readl.v mat the portabilities of the olothrsdnc in that direction arc gieat. ANOTHER LTHCHItG. We were not surprised at the announce ment that the negro preacher. Strickland, had been lynched nor at the report that another negro, named Sewell, had been put to death by those who participated In the barbarous act of burning the r.egro Same Hose to death. It would not he surpr ?ing indeed if there should be othtsr lynching* soon, in the se tion of the stat* in which the terrlb.e affairs of Sunday ar.d Sunday night occurred. The condi tion of the public mind there is such that an peculation appears to be *ll that is necessary to bring about a lynching. If such was not the case the negro preacher Strickland would not have been lynched and horribly mutilated. It may be that he was guilty of the era* with which Sam Hose charged him Just before the ta'ier was burned to death, but the chances are that Hose was so terrified lhat he did no; know what he said. It is certain, as far as the public knows, thit i her- was not satisfactory evidence against Strickland. A part of the mob realized this ar.d tried to have S.rkkland turned over - o the authorities for trial. The?e lynching* are deplorable from whatever point they may be viewed. The lynchgrs say that they must protect the women of the South and probab.y some of them think that that Is what they are •loing in taking the law into their own hands, but the real motive of a lynch ing mob is a desire for vengeance. If it could be shown that such barbarous a (<■ is marked the lynching of Hose and Strickland had the effect of checKing the crime for which iym h:ngs are the most common there would be some excuse for them, but that cannot be shown. We are confident lhat punishment In accordance with the law has a far greater effect in preventing crime than punishment me ed out by a mob. Mob law begets a spirit that finds expression in the commission of crime. That this is so ts shown by the increase in the number of lvnehlngs. The mistrial In the lake City IS. C.) case seemed to Justify the opinion that there is a growing sentiment against lynch law. Otherwise there would not have been five members of the jury tn favor of finding the Lake City lynchers guilty. The expressions In some quarters apparently excusing the terrible affair of Sunday in this state may check that sen timent. It is to be hoped It will not, be cause no good can ~rne to this or any other etate, or to any community, from such a barbarous and shocking affair as that at Newnan. It is to the credit of ex- Gov. Atkinson that he exertc-d himself io the utmost to prevent It. The mob knew he was right, but its desire for vengeance was too strong to he resisted. What the Governor says about politics being et the bottom of the lynching* may have some truth in it, and his advice to the leaders of the negro race that they must educate their people against such crimes as those for which neg Toes are lynched are all very well, hut If lynch ing is to be checked in the least he must, as the chief executive, see no palliation for mob law—he must throw the whole weight of his great office against It. What every good citizen wants is a stop put to lynchlngs and to the crimes for wntch negroes are most commonly lynched. We believe that can be done the quickest by Insisting upon a vigorous enforcement of the law against every vio lator of It. WILL PRECEDENT BE IGNORED f Will Senator Quay have sufficient influ ence when the time comes for the Senate to act upon his case to get the Republi can majority to overrule all the preced ents—precedents which have kept other Re publicans out of the Senate who were ap pointed under precisely the same condi tions under which he was appointed—and give him the seat he claims? It ts said by well informed Republican leaders that it would not be surprising if all preced ents were swept aside and Quay received by his brother Republicans in the Senate with open arms. If that should be done the country would be Justified In coming to the conclusion that the Republicans are willing and ready to sacrifice the best Interests of society and the country to promote party ends. The question as to whether Senator Quay is guilty or not of the charges which have been made against him in the courts of hia etato has nothing to do with the question. The simple ques tion is whether Senator Quay, because he is an influential political boss, is to be granted a concession denied to others who occupied a position exactly like that which he nows occupies. If that is to be done by the highest legislative body in the counlry there will be ample ground for despairing of the future of the republic. The idea is being thrown out that the Republican leaders sre afraid of him— afraid that if he is not permlted to have his way he will throw the state of Penn sylvania against Ihe Republican party in the presidential election. It is said that he is very hostile to the Preside!* be cause the latter didn't prevent the news paper controlled by the Postmaster Gen eral from taking strong sides against him in his recent trial. There may be some thing in this talk. If there is the Repub licans leaders must have very little confi dence In the Republicanism of the Re publicans of Pennsylvania. The evolution of machinery, as pointed out by a recent technical writer, is towards simplicity, compactness and lightness. Take the printing press; the first “type revolver" of twenty-five years ago was a huge affair some fifteen feet high, and about as long. The first web perfecting presses, printing from a roll, were consid erably smaller, but as compared with the presses of to-day they would appear enormous. And tn mechanism, the new est presses are simplicity Itself as com pared w,th the complicated wheels and gears of the old presses. The sewing ma chine is another illustration of the sim plifying process. The modern machine Is not only lighter and stronger than the old iy|ie, but it has fewer pieces to get out of order. The bicycle of the day is also a result of a great evolution. From slxiy pounds or more, the high grade wheel has p.en reduced In weight to very little over twenty, and the mechanism has been made *o simple that a child can understand It. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, APRIL 25. 1593. THE GROWTH OF TREATS. One reason for the great Increase In ’he number of trusts is the difficulty experi enced in finding .nvestments which pay a fair rate of interest—that is, investments which are considered gi.t-edged. Firs; class securities do not pay more than three per cent, and government bonds do not pay that much. Toe promoters of trusts, knowing that there Is a vast amount of money seeking investment, and feeiing certain that they can dispose of an almost unlimited amount of shares of trusts by prom.stng high rates of interest, are busy making combinations of all kinds of busi nesses and Industries. No doubt seta; of these trusts will pay a good return on the money invested in them, but it is certain that there are num bers of them that will not be.ause they are overcapitalized. A few days ago the Secre tary’ of the Treasury and Senator Depew took occasion in public addresses to cau tion the people against trusts which are overcapitalized, or, rather, against the overcapit -Illation of trusts. What they had .n mind was that a day- of reckoning would come for the trusts which rest upon a fraudulent or dishonest basis. Those who have put their money in such trusts wifi 1 >se it sooner or later, a n f the banks which loan money on the shares of such concerns trill suffer lors. It ought no' to to a difficult matter for the public to determine which are theover a[-..- I z- and tru.-is and whic . are the trusts w.c, ft l ave kept within safe bounds in Issu.ng shares. The truth about each of t. " trusts is pretty well known in well in formed financial circles. A person who is not In a position to find out all about trusts ought to steer clear of thera.i It is certain that the times for trusts will not always be as good as they are now, A little depression in business will be ail that is necessary to force some of them Into bankruptcy. Such a depression may come suddenly. The wise thing to do therefore Is to give all trust? which arc not known to be able to weather a finan cial storm a wide berth. Attorney General Grigg* said the other day ft f tn more dangerous to those who put their money in them than to tne public. It would not be at ail surprising if time shouid demonstrate the truth of this re mark. Some of the most persistent ene mies of trusts now are those who have failed to get tn on the ground floor. When the trust bubble bursts the greatest ene mies of trusts will be those who have lost their money In them. “PRIVATE JOHN" mg SENATOR. The Mississippi senatorial election will not be held for more than eight months yet—the legislature meets In January; nevertheless a lively campaign for the seat is in progress. Private John Alien is on tiie firing line down in the low-grounds, and is making things warm for Gov. “Anse" McLaurln, the head of the famous clan McLaurin which has of recent years come pretty near to owning Mississippi politically. The Governor wants to be senator. He has had a taste of sen atorial i*fe,. he likes it, a rd wants more of it. He served a short unexpired term, of about a year, and has ever since been laying pipe to get back to Washington. Having pretty nearly the control of the political machine in Mississippi, it looked as though he wou'd have something of a walk-over, until Private John, who had concluded that he would like to try life at the Senate end of the eapltol at Wash ington for a spell, appeared upon the scene as a candidate. Gov. McLaurin claims that he ought to have the senatorship as a vindication o{ his administration. I.ately his administra tion has not had the support which he could wish for It, hence he wants the people of Mississippi—or rather the legis lature of Mississippi—to. send him to the Senate by way of an indorsement of his acts as Governor. The Governor having made his administration the issue, Private JdTlh sailed in upon its record and began tearing it into ribbons. It seems that he has an abundance of material to work on, and, with his wit and wisdom and readi ness of repartee to aid in an attractive pre sentation of his facts, he quickly had the Governor on the defensive. And then it was that the Governor dis covered that he was being made the vic tim of what he conceives to be a mon strous conspiracy. He is now said to be telling the Mlssissippians about it. “It's the gold-bug gang,” he says, “the bad gold bugs, that's back of John Allen and trying to beat me. The aristocrats don't like me because I was for silver; and they say that because I once drove oxen and split rails, and because I eat my greens with a knife, I ain't fit to be senator for Mississippi.’ 1 It is understood that the Governor expects a heap from this state ment. He .is sure that it will create a fellow feeling for him in the breasts of all of the ox-drivers who manipulate their greens in the same manner, and convince other persons of his democratic simplicity, in contrast w.th the aristocratic gastro nomic feats of John Alien. For it is pretty well known that Private John is as fond of good eating as he Is of a good story; that he frequents some of the sweilest eating places In Washington, and often stretches his legs under the mahogany of rich and influential men. And the Gov ernor wishes to Impress it upon his hear ers and their friends that that sort of thing is altogether wicked, gold-buggy and reprehensible. The fact is that Private John is a free silver man. a strict adherent of the Chi cago platform, notwithstanding he does not eat his greens with a knife, and often enjoys a hot bird “with trimmings.'' The congressman is a brilliant stump speaker, which Ihe Governor is not. and the Gov ernor ts a remarkably shrewd practical politician, which the congressman is not', hence ihe contest is likely to be Interesting until it is finished. If Private John's wit wins agamst the machine, he will have earned his promotion. To secure French wives for Frenchmen in the colonies, the ministry of the colonies Is to open at Paris an office where all wo men suitable for colonial marriage will be supplied with wedding outfits costing ICO, with CM pocket money, and a pass to the colony selected. The mystery of the disappearance of Lieut. Gilmore ar.d hi* men. of the York town, at Baler, is no nearer solution cow than it was on the day of the occurrence, as far a* the information which has reached this country goes Gilmore and fourteen men. It will oe r-membered, went in a boat, armed ar. t having a machine gun. to relieve the Spanish garrison at Ba er. A few rifle shots and a bugle call were heard by Lieut Standley, who was on the shore recocnonering. The machine gur was not heard Standley tried to as certain what the shooting ar.d bugle call meant, but could see nothing of his com rades or anyone else. 9 nee that time all investigation has been fruitless. No signs of a bloody conflict have been found; no signs a struggle, such as it is certain the fifteen hardy Americans would have made even if urpri-ed by natives. The boat and the men have disappeared as if the earth had opened and swallowed them up. It is to be hoped that the dis patches of the next f--w days will contain something positive respecting their fate. The best is to be hoped for, hut the worst expected. Those Philadelphia counterfeiter* who were captured by tr.e fed ral secret ser vice men the other day were art sts .n crime as well as in engraving and prim ing.

Had the scheme been consummated. :t would have been one of the most sensational robberies in criminal history; but the secret service detectives were too smart for the counter feiters. The bears tn the stock markets do not hesitate to turn to tneir own account every fact, rumor or possibility that they can. Marconi has succeeded in telegraph ing across the Strait of Dover without wires. Presumably, therefore, wireles* telegraphy will be put to commercial uses before a great while, to the great detri ment of the volume of business transacted by the cable companies In London the other day this argument was used by the bears to beat down the price of cable stocks, with some degree of success. PERSON A Li. —Frank Bray, the Englishman who is said to be the brains of the Filipino Junta at Hong Kong, has spent most of his life in the Far East. He speaks many of the Filipino dialects fluently and knows the Malay of Borneo as well as the Malay of the Philippines. He says we will never conquer the insurgents, and that "ail the wealth the Yankees get out of the Isl ands will not maintain the necessary hos pitals.” —lt ts said that Sir Thomas Lipton, the buiider of the challenger for the America's cup, Is being to a certain extent ignored by the members of the Royal Yacnt Squadron, who are more or less incensed that a tradesman and a man not a mem ber of the yacht club should presume to take such a prominent position in the in ternational contest. This is g.ven as the reason that the leading English sporting papers are paying less attention to the coming struggle than might have been ex pected. —Capt. George W. Streeter's schooner was thrown upon the beach of Lake Mich igan at Chicago years ago, and there was washed up arousd it a quantity of sand, which is now land and comprises 186 acres, to which the captain has successfully es tablished his claim. It is known as the ' District of Lake Michigan," is said to be worth several millions of dollars and to he no part of the state of Illinois or of the United States. A memorial is to be pre sented to the next Congress asking for the annexation of this land to the United States. CURRENT COMMENT. Commenting on the acquittal of ihe Lake City lynchers, the Charleston News and Courier (Dem.) says: “All the evi dence was one way, and against the de fendants, but the evidence had nothing to do with the failure of the jury to act. That was influenced by considerations apart from the testimony in Ihe case. No one expected that the jury would find a verdict of guilty, it would not have been surprising had the jury found a verdict of not guilty, its failure to agree to a verdict must be regarded as a distinct advance in public thought and conscience. Five white men out of twelve in South Carolina holding to the end for' the administraiion of justice, according to the evidence, ts a triumph for order and a promise of better things in the future. Justice will not be done until the Lake City lynchers are punished.” The Hartford (Conn.) Times (Dem.) says: “The action of Quay’S" Governor, Stone, in "appointing” him United States senator on the day after the adjournment of the legislature without an election, is a flagrant defiance of all the rights and proprieties of the case. It is an impudent impertinence to the United States Senate and cannot fail to be so regarded by that body. It disregards a provision of the state constitution which requires the Gov ernor to summon the legislature to meet and elect whenever a vacancy has hap pened. It is a revolutionary, unscrupulous proceeding, and a Governor should be im peached for such conduct.” The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.) says: “The decision of a circuit judge that the law against vagrancy is uncon stitutional on the ground that slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a pun ishment for crime, is abolished, assumes that vagrancy is not a crime. Now crimes are divided into felonies and misdemean ors. and the statute against vagrancy makes It "a high misdemeanor." At the rarne time it must be owned that the man who buys a vagrant generally gets the worst of it.” The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.) says: “The volunteers at Manila desire to be mustered out there, thua receiving travel pay for 1.1,000 miles. Instead of transportation, and enabling them to make the grand lour of Europe, and come home as cabin passengers," V Jumping Toothache. “It was a toothache,” said the veteran, according to the Cincinnati Inquirer, "that won me a reputation for daring at the battle of Bull Run. That was the only fight I was ever in where I didn't wish I could find a ho.e to crawl into. All this talk about coolness oo the eve of battle is nonsense, invented by people who have never been there or o.d soldiers whose tongues get away with their memories. Our men and officers were as brave as any in the war. and made good records, but they all had the ague and longed for sick leave Just about the time the bullets began to fiy. But I had the toothache for two days before that battle and if there is an aggravation on earth that will make a man want to bat his best tr end in the face that is it. “On the night before the fight I did not sleep a walk. The old tooth got to jump ing like a goat, and I eouldn t have suf fered more from an amputa ed leg. I was also furiously tr,3d. I felt that Id either got to boH for the rear in search of relief or encourage some Cor,fed. to pot a ball through my head. “We'd been waiting in battle line for an hour, aid the boys had grown white and were all choked up. I had been en tirely occupied with the old tooth, and the first thing I knew the fight was on We were hokl.ng them in caeck, but that didn't suffice me. As I got hold of my gun ard pulled the handkerchief off my jaw I yelled out for the boys 10 foi w. ard we struck a whole brigade ar.d whirl ed it around and sc-r.t it back half a mile I felt that I could lick the whole of Lee s army for an hour or two! They told me that I yelled and cheered and dodged death a thousand times, but I remember roth ing but the jumps of that tooth. When they stopped, or for what particular rea son. I could never say, but after a couple of hours i camo to myself, as It were, and was being complimented on all sides and the Jumped had ceased.' Wrong Place to Stutter. It was In one of the elevators of a Nas sau street sky scraper, says the New York Sun. As the elevator shot toward the zenith, a little, stout man, with a mourn ing badge on his siik hat, began to sput ter. His face assumed the complexion of a lobster that had passed away in boil ing water. “Bub-but. rt—st—st—b'r'r’r," he said, as the veins stcod out upon his neck. “Guess he'll have a stroke,” muttered a passenger to the elevator man, while the latter gazed anxiously at the man who was sputtering like a lamp going out. At the twenty-third story the stout man's eyes were nearly starting from his head, perspiration sought its watersheds on the map of his countenance, and as he grasped the arm of the elevator man ihe latter nervously pulled the lever and the lift started for the bottom at a terrific rate. The solitary passenger danced about, gurgling spasmodically, and it se med as if the threatened stroke would get hirn before the ground floor was reached. As the car struck bottom, however, he rushed through the door and up to an im portant individual whose cap bore the screed "Starter.” “3-s-s-say,'' he sputtered, "t-t-this Is the th-th-third trip I-I-I-I've t-t-t-taken in the d-d-d elevator, 'n I-I-I-I w-w-wanter g-g-g-get off at the sev-sev seventh fl-fl-fl-floor. Before I-I-I c-c-c-can say sev-sev-seven I-I-I-I'm up to the t-t --top, 'n be-be-before I-I-I can cat-cat-catch my br-br-breth. I-I-I-I'm down h-h-here again, 'n I-I-I-I’m In a h-h-h-hell of h-h-h-hurry." The starter put him on a car, closed the door, said “Seven," and the car started. The Gaamltes.

Americans In Bndnpest. Ever since the Wild West 6how appear ed in Budapest the citizens believe that every American is in the habit of carry ing a revolver. “A few nights before my arrival,” writes a correspondent of the Chicago Record, “an American traveler and his friends had been silting at a ta ble in a music hall ordering such refresh ments as may be obtained at that kind of a place. When the American called for his check, the waiter performed a feat in mathematics and learned that three times three made seventeen. The American found fault with this system of multipli cation and stood up to protest. The young womati who sold programmes threw her self in front of him and seized his arm. 'Please don't,’ she said; ‘he is a poor man. He has a wife and family.' The manager came running. ‘Wait, wait!' he entreated, ‘Please do not make any trouble. I ask you that you should not shoot!’ Yielding to these entreaties the American spared the life of the trembling waiter, who had made a run for the stairway. There was another computation, and it was decided that three times three made nine.” Churchmen as Ranters. The author of ‘‘Kings of the Hunting Field" says that at a certain English church many years ago, while the clergy man was reading prayers, a man walked In, shouted "I’ve got ’un!” and imme diately withdrew. He had sounded a well known call. Every farmer and laborer who possessed a gun soon followed him. and in an hour or two brought to the vil lage inn the fox they had shot. Spirituality was In those days at a very low ebb. and some clergymen cared more for sport than for the example they set to their flocks. Bishops tried to discoun tenance hunting as a clerical pastime, but the law did not enable them to remove the offenders from their livings. Dr. Phill potls. Bishop of Exeter, who called to ac count several sporting clergymen in his diocese, met one of them at a friends house. "I am told, my lord, that you object to my hunting," said the clergyman. "Dear me. who couid have told you so?” answered the bishop. "What I object to 1* that you should ever do anything else.” PIMPLES Blotches, blackheads, red, rouen, and oily •km, red, rough hands with shapeless nails, dry, thin, and falling hair, and simple baby rasb-s prerented by Ccticcra Soap, greatest of skin pnrifying and beautifying soaps, as j well as purest and sweetest for toilet, bath, , and nursery, because tbe only preventive of inflammation and clogging of the Pores, the cause of most minor affections of the skin 9 j ecalp, and hair. liSiolifWiei'iaie j S.x days more of extra values.
