LEGALIZED LYNCHING-
Addressing the Richmond county
grand jury a short time since, Ju Ige
William T. Gary threw out the sug
gestion that if the people of the
8 iuth mean to take the position that
lynching is a necessary evil, they
should follow the only rational
course and legal ze it, a seeming
paradox that Hon. John Temple
Graves has also endorsed, as he re
ferred to it in his recent utterance
■in the subject that has created
much comment at the North.
Commenting on this, the Augusta
Chronicle say s : There should ap
pear to be a practical section to the
effect that there is one unspeakable
crime that places its perpetrator
beyond the pale of the law. In be
half of the sanctity of our homes,
and to relieve our womankind from
the apprehension of this black hor
ror that menaces them, Southern
er,:—aß a people —are apparently
prepared to fioe the clamor and
condemnation of the rest of the
world in support of this preposition.
Nevertheless, this universal deter
mination does not absolve our law
efficers from their obligations, or
alter the fact that under our stat
utes as they stand lynching is mur
der, neither more or less.
Too frequently in the past our
officials havo proved derelict in
their duty, but there are judges,
sheriffs and solicitors in the South
who respect their plighted words
and would not break an oath at
any personal cost, and when three
such fine thenselves opposed to a
mob, we can count with certainty
upon a very grim tragedy. There
is a cowardliness about lynching in
the abstract that does not commend
it to the Anglo-Ssxon terperament.
There are thousands in the South
ern States to whom it is repugnant
in any form ; there are many more
thousands wno would limit it to the
punishment of the one offense to
which reference has been made.
Why not, then, adopt Judge Gary’s
suggestion and frame such laws as
shall confine Judge Lynch’s minis
trations to a certain class of trans
gressors?
A med us - perandi would not seem
difficult to i soover. A magistrate
is to be sou d at every cross roads
mid a half dozen reputable citizens
omld be sworn in by him as readily
as a coroner’s jury is summoned.
Give these the power of life and
death in such oases. If the proof
of guilt is forthcoming and convinc
ing—as it usually is, and always
should be, before any violence is of
fered—there would be Utile likeli
hood of on abuse of authority, and
but brief delay in the inexorable in
fliction of the penalty. And above
all the ends of justice wr.uld be cur
ried out without any infraction of
the law
Under Judge Gary’s suggestion,
if a up! fled and enforced, our lav
officers will no longer stulify them
selves, nor our civilization bo ex
posed to the reproach of bloodguil
tiness. Whether this plan or seme
other be adopted, it is certain there
must be some speedier means of
bringing to trial and punishment
those guilty of the crime of assault
or lynchings cannot be stopped.
THE WAYS OF A NEGRO AND A
MULE-
Anent the proposed separation of
the negro and the mule, by the
German students who would intro
duce the “zobrula,” an exchange
says: In the mule the negro finds
a sympathetic and congenial spirit;
and any mule in his right senses
would rather be paralyzed from
stem to stern than lift a hoof against
him, although they will lie in wait
for years to get an opportunity to
spatter a white man over the sur
face of the earth It is the strong
affection of brotherhood that binds
the two together as with hooks of
steel, and renders it impossible for
the zebrula, or any other hybred to
fill the sphere in this life now so
gloriously occupied by the mule,
for ths mule will not go unlesi the I
negro goes with him and the latter
fully reciprocates the feeling. They
are one end inseparable now and
forever ; two souls with but a single
though'-, two hearts that beat as
one, h" nee the inexorable log c of
the situation is : No mule no ne
gro, no negro no mule Therefore
it is a dead moral certainty that the
zenrula with all his attractions and
accomplishments will never sur
vive the combined competition of
the mule and the negro, no matter
how well the animal may thrive in
the domain of the Kaiser. In flue
there is no place for the zebrula in
America, and if there were he would
be excluded from our shores by the
tariff and the regard of the Repub
lican party for the v, el are ano hap
piness of the ool< re l man and
brother. The zebrula may enj y
the privilege of exhibiting his gaudy
stripes in other climes, but not in
this land of tne free, and the home
of the mule
ROOSEVELT’S L *STEBT BREAK-
President Riosevelt has again
shown that he intends to make the
negro the social equal of the white
man if it be in his power to do so,
while he is the president of the
Un t d State J . His latest action ha?
stirred up the national capital as
nothing else has done for a long
time. A few days ago it was inten
ded to give the white children an
outing and permission was granted
for them to have the ground? im
mediately back of the White House
for their play ground. Some of the
table furniture was to be used
by them from which to eat their
lunch and the Marine Band
was orderd to make music, for
them. The managers of the outing
were delighted with the arrange
ments,and the little fellows were in
the seventh heaven of expectation.
When the president learned that
only white children were included
in the * program he issued orders
that all children, including negro
children, were to be given the same
privileges and allowed to mix and
mingle freely, with the whi'-o chil
dren and eat with them from the
White House tables, or else the
whole thing wu s off. That settled it
and the white children hunted other
quarters for their outing. People
may draw their own conclusions.
THE CHAFF REMAINING IN THE
WHEAT-
The public has been informed that
followers of Brahma and Confucius
have located in New York, notes
the JaoksonviHe Times Union, and
these missionaries find disciples
ready to meet them, but the effects
in America qiust be so small that
we may well compare them with
the changes wrought by Christiani
ty in Hindostan or China. These
are exotic cults —their teachings un
suited to our temperament or rea
son. Doubtless a few Guebres may
also be found in the vast concourse
of human beings and races that bur
row in the background of what we
know as New York, but that a sect
of fire worshipipers and cliff dwel
ers should originate in America
and flourish amid our population in
this day and generation is almost
unbelievable.
However, the Joplin News-Her
ald tells of such a community in
Missouri—the State whose lobby has
just proved itself conservant with
the latest knowledge of graft, and
where the American ideas of law
and justice have just been so sig
nally triumphant the hands
of District Attorney Fulk. These
people dwell in holes alo'g the
cliffs of a creek gulch, and they
worship n god who manifests him
self to them in the shape of a “great
ball cf fire.” The farmers at mid
night congregate to watch the ser
vices. Is it not possible that some
who go to scoff may remain to pray ?
Let the political economies study
these eddies along our march of
progress—breaking off from the
main stream and making a life for
themselves beyond the reach of the
channel along which we pass.
Many incidents of our national life
which appear in the papers as
“startling” are but reversions to a
primitive type. 'lhe “feudists of
Kentucky” ere not immoral nor
savage except as they are survivals
from a past we have left so far be
hind that forgetfulness has dropped
its curtain and leaves us apalled at
what our grandfathers intimately
knew. We are jast getting ac
quainted with our own people, and
many who denounce might find it
more profitable to be grateful for
their own escape. We extol our
ancestors, but when these appear

before ua unchanged we are horri

we should pray to be delivered
Cooped in the mountains, under the
shadow of the forvst-s yet remisin
ing, these survivals exist without
becoming our national life. There
the old rights are held sacrad and
the old thoughts prevail. Such
people felt themselves wrjnged
when forbidden to make their corn
into whisky. In Pennsylvania hus
bands still own their wives, claim
the right to exchange them and re
