LAWLESSNESS AND IT8 PRE
VENTATIVE.
The law's delay cannot be pleaded
by the Bulloch county mob. Justice,
legally meted out In the caso of the
murderers, rapere and burners of the
Hodges family, did not travel with a
leaden heel. Judge Daley moved
quickly, Judlcloualy, and atood cour
ageously for law and order. There
was no fault with the court There
wan no complaint at the law, or Its
execution. The awful outrage upon
humanity committed by negro brutes
no Incited the mass of people that It
seemed almost -an Impossible task to
restrain the mob with bayonetted guns
uniondf.l. And yet It was an awful
crime—a crime against the state—
against the law—against the court
then in seaelon—-which wrested power
from the Judge, from the sheriff and
from the militia. The Judge and the
sheriff seemed to do their beet An
investigation must show how far the
military blundered or failed of Its duty.
But this affair Is behind us. At
least let us hope that tho reign o^
lawlessness Is over. The thing now
to be done Is to look for better meth
ods of prevention of the crimes which
so stirred up the mob eplrlt. In our
Judgment, several times expressed re
cently In these columns, as well ns on
former occasions, the best prevention
unfl be a revival of the old patrol sys
tem In rural districts, under the direc
tion nnd command of the sheriff-
mounted policemen, or a rural consta
bulary, an yon please to call It. Ten
men in a county to ride In twos, or
fours, twice a week at night—varying
the nights, and the order of riding, so
that It will never be known In advance
what nights the patrol 1s to be on the
road—would deter many a criminal
from attempting rape, murder and
robbery* We would not attempt to
outline details of operation—this can

i <>t be great, but we can afford to pay

Infinitely rich In mines of gold and sli
ver and copper. Mexico has been, so far
ns her own finances are concerned,
converted to the single standard. flhe,
has been liberal In her concessions,
and American bankers. Investors, con
tractors, miners and colonists have
been welcomed. Her government,
with the passing of the years, comes
closer to the form and spirit of ihe
American republic. Thla has latterly
been shown, in the effort to stamp out
yellow fever. There was a time, not
so long sgo, when public sanitation
was regarded with Indifference by the
Mexicans and pest-centers which
caused death and distress In other
countries, were tolerated. This is no
longer the case. American experts
have been called to aid the Mexican
physicians and the result has been that
the dread disease has been almost ex
tinguished. Doubtless the Mexican
authorities have watched carefully the
work of the United Htates officers In
Cuba and discovered, from tho record
made by them In Havana and other
Cuban cities, that It Is possible lo elim
inate tho very source of disease. Thla
seems notably the Vase in Vera Cru/..
A nation which develops on these
lines la bound to become great. We
have no doubt that within n few years
Mexico will have a navy to defend her
ling and to protect both' her coasts,
and will claim to be ono of ths great
world-powers. This will be natural
nough, because of ths resources of
the land. The outside world has yet
to fully comprehend their variety and
magnitude. The agricultural possi
bilities are enormous. Kvervthlng con
be grown from wheat to cotton, ac
cording to the lay of the land. The
mineral wealth Is beyond all calcula
tion. Among the mountains and val
leys all degrees of temperature, sum
mer or winter, may be found. The
country has for five hundred years
uwnlted tho Influence -of the Anglo-
Hnxon, and It has at last become ef-
fdethe. Industrially and politically.
It Is enough to have to print the de
tails of tho horrible affair at Htates-

before the public gaze pictures of the
sickening scenes! The latter Tho

JUDGE PARKER'S ACCEPTANCE.
Philadelphia Record: Our leader has
ipr.kefi with no uncertain voice. Now
let the battle begin.
Pittsburg Press (Rep.): The more
,ie reads it. the more he is Impressed
with the thought that the mountain has
been In l:tbor and has brought forth—
a mouse.
Baltimore Hun: His speech of or.
ptance Is that of an honest, cour
ageous und well-balanced man, who
holds to the old landmarks and believes
In the reign of law and the supremacy
of'the constitution.
New' York American: Judge Parker
has told the American people the prin
ciples and purposes for which he
stands. It is for them to decide wheth
er they prefer a peaceful conservatism
to the perils of radical Iiooaqyeltlsm.
Boston Globe: While It is Instinct
with true Democracy, there Is In it the
tolerance of a falrmlnded man and the
caution of a patient temperament.
That It will commend Its author to the
respect and confidence of open-minded
>ple Is not to be doubted.
New York Hun (Rep.): Instead of
rising above the platform Judge Par
ker nan crawled pretty Ignomlnlously
beneath it. In our reluctantly expressed
opinion. He himself has decreed that
tho choice of independents shall be orv*
of parties and records and principles,
rut her than of men.
Loulttvllle Courier-Journal: It Is the
voice of u Democrat, of a statesman, of
a lead who. at a crisis-when such ser
vice seemed most lacking and waa
most needed, has rlson up to stay the
worship of strange gods nnd to con
duct the people back to the true altar
of free government, the constitution.
New York Press (Rep.): The speech
of acceptance begins with self-lauda
tion for his telegram and resignation.
Is Ailed with quantities of platitudes,
and nguln ends with self-laudation for
his refusal to consider a second term
when he Is ns far from a Arst term
any man who ever ran for president of
the United Htntes.
New York Tribune (Rep.): The
whole speech Is an obvious attempt to
force the personal issue to the front,
to bury out of sight the Democracy
which has not only been’ Insane for
eight years, but for four years before
that played havoc with the administra
tion of Its own "safe and sane" Presi
dent Cleveland, and to put forward
Judge Parker as better thnn hla party.
Baltimore American (Rep.): There
Is nothing new In what he says, noth
ing that has not been ofteh said be
fore as well ond sometimes better than
he says It. He clings to the Immortal
telegram to Ht, Louis on the Anances.
and places It ahead of his thanks to
tho convention much as n boy exhibits
hi i pride over a big Jump or nn unus
ually acurate stone throw.
.New York World: We do not think
It too much to say that the effort as
n whole reveals the candidate In a
very favorable light to qll who want
to vote for a constitutional rother thnn
n personal government—for n safe
rather than a "strenuous" president. A
complete antithesis of the Roosevelt
whom the country has known for the
pnst dozen years In the man disclosed
by this strong and convincing speech.
Now York Evening Post: If Ameri
cana have got tired of all the fret nnd
sham of militarism and the meretrici
ous glitter of Imperialism, they will
turn with relief to Judge Parker. But
whether they do or not, he has shown
himself a man worthy of their confl-
dence and their suffrages, and has al
ready wrought a great work for his
country by pointing It to the things
which make for Its penco und true
grandeur.
Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.): We
must confess to a feeling of disappoint
ment ufter rending the npeech of *e-
eptanco. Ho offers nothing whatever*
It la Dimply u plea to take him In plaee
of Roosevelt. He has a few promises
to make of devoting his best efforts to
the administration • of governmental
affairs. That Is all. Against these
promises, this luck of Issues, the Re
publican party places a record of
grand achievements.
Baltimore Herald: t The nddrese Is
characterized by clear and direct state
ment on every mutter alluded to, and
the courage uf the writer Is unmis
takable. It Is su?h a production as
might have been expected front a
Jurist of Judge Parker's ability nnd In
dependence, who Is accustomed to
studying public questions In a broad
ond liberal manner, standing for a
strict Interpretation of the constitu
tion and u rigid and Impartial enforce,
incut of all the laws.
New York Commercial (Rep.): Oth
er tssuea tint will enter Into the pres
ent cnmpalgn he reserves for dlscus-
alotn In his formal letter of accept
ance. As a whole, Judge Parker's
speech will tend to confirm th# opinion
which haa hitherto frequently been
expressed that the pending political
ronteat will turn largely on the per
tonality and temperament of the lead
lng candidates for the presidency.
tther than on a wide divergence of
principles and politics for which they
resffecttvely stand.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: The speech
of acceptance was not a perfunctory
approval of the platform or a mere
paraphrase of Its declarations. Show-
wide conrtast between the Derr.o-
• tlo • andldnte of 1IM end 1900 and
andidnte of 1504 is made th** more
>-'<plcuouH \,y the temperate, schol--
y. frank address of Judge Parker;
fcho-.vH th.- bread difference be-
oen.the noisy demagogue and pcs-
ro’iM Ho'i -dat of former years and
statesman and patriot
this year. The Democratic party
is to hr- • ongratulated upon having
•id of th*- Mordld leaders and the
* • * «!es which for ten
years put it «>ut*lde the pale of public
confidence and respect.
New York Helard: While vigorously
calling for reform of abuses in the
government. Judge Parker declares
that "the spirit of the Democratic
platform assures conservative instead
of rash action." While the Judicial
tone of his speech may disappoint
"campaign workers" w'ho want ringing
phrases, tse absence of these will fav
orably Impress all thoughtful readers.
The Judge's declaration that if elected
he will not accept a renomlnatlon and
the reasons assigned for this attitude
are very Impressive. It Is the demand
for a return to calmer, constitutional
government as opposed to Mr. Roose
velt's Impetuous imperialism that the
dominant issue in this campaign is
found. In comparison with that the
tariff, trusts, and so on are of minor
consequence. What Judge Parker's
speech says on that subject will be
pronounced clear nnd authorative by
the people, and the people will have to
decide!
New York Times: The tone of Judge
Parker's speech of acceptance is in per
fect keeping with the sobered sense of
the American people. Since the year
1858 we have not been at all times
quite In our sober sense. War is an
exciting business. The fever has ling
ered in our blood. The flush of It de
parts but slowly from some faces much
In the view of the people, and the heat
nnd passion of battle now and then
glow again In the Pingunge of our chief
public men. Judge Parker talks to us
ns one who from some high place looks
across the smiling, busy land, and in
calm discourse reminds this people of
certain well-known principles of con
duct and of government which they
should now allow themselves to for
get. and by occasion indicates errors
of policy and behnvlor which It would
benefit them to set right. He talks as
one who if raised to the presidency
would lead the ‘country In the ways of
wisdom, in the paths of peace. There
Is In hla speech not the remotest sug
gestion of wars and tumults, not even
the "rumble of the distant drum.”

season. * - . . - *-
Those who had the station In charge
last year-are aware of the fact that
it was not successfully operated, and
the agricultural department at Wash
ington has instructed the use of almost
the entire sum recently appropriated
by congress in completely remodeling
the plant. The fund available is $15,-
000. Tho work of reconstructing the
plant is under the supervision of Mr.
Arthur Givens, the government expert
who was here last year. In addition
to a lot of now' machinery, the evapor
ators, boilers and crushers will be
changed.
V\ uti the now plant, there will likely
be two grades of syrup manufac-.
lured. The Juice from the first crush
ing of the sugar will make a light
syrup, and the Juice obtained from the
second crushing will make a darker
syrup, which will hardly bring such
high prices as the light.
JThe plant will be ready for operation
by the beginning of the sugar cane
season, and will likely be patronized
by most of the farmers In this section
