OPINION IN ENGLAND.
London, Dec. 27.—The Dally Ndws
will say (tomorrow, In a leader, on the
arrest of the bank officials in New
Foundland, today:
“The arrests seem to be in Hhe nature
of a 'heroic remedy lor «he jiwanckii
troubls In the colony. Whatever the Is
sue of the proeecuiion may be, It can
hardly strengthen the public confidence
on which the poor remnant of ithe colo
ny’s prosperity for aho moment rests.
New Found land Is in a piteous state.
Slio has almost returned to finst prin
ciples as a social organization, and she
must now regret her shortsighted re
fusal to enter the Dominion. If she
'had Joined the federation She would
have 'had a better claim on tho sup
port of her sister communities. Her
refusal newer was based on any other
reason than selfish prudence."

sion yesterday passed the following reso
lutions concerning the killing of the three

cently beenperpetrated in our county, and
there negroes shot down without provo
cation, as far as we can ascertain, and
other Innocent negro men and women
were abused and submitted to nameless
Indignities; therefore be It
"Resolved by us, 1. That we deplore and
most solemnly condemn the spirit or law
lessness that seems to pervade our coun
ty.
"2. That we feel that these crimes
have left a blot on the fair name of our
county.
"3. That we call upon all lawablding
citizens to put down these crimes and we
appeal to the courts to see that these
criminals are brought to trial, and. Justice
meted out to them.
“4. That the report given In the
Atlanta Constitution of December 25, Is
entirely wrong and calculated do do our
county Inestimable damage; that there
has never bean any race riot in our coun
ty; that the negroes have never been
under arms, and that the whole trouble
has been caused by about twenty-five
white men, not over four of whom lived
in Brooks county; that we Invite and
appeal for a fair Investigation of the facts
from the papers.
