The victim of the lynchers was an undoubted murder er; but he had been apprehended, and was safe in jail. There was r.o ex cuse for murdering him, except the excuse that he himself might have urged for the very crime of which he was guilty tin lawless satisfaction of private vengeance. Crimes of violence resulting in the destruction of life and property have recently become deplorably rife, par ticularly in the Northern States, says the Philadelphia Record.

Tens of thousands of them hope to become merchants. when they have no aptitude whatev- j er for commercial affairs, and are doomed to lives of bitter toil and grinding poverty. This ought not to be. Everybody in America is. justly entitled to a trade, and he ought to have the chance to master one. Many sons of poor parents and many or phan boys are compelled to forego the inestimable benefits of appren-1 ticeship. and these ought to be as-! sisted oy wise philanthropy; but very ; many more fail to improve the great j opportunity of becoming skilled workers, and so drift into the labor- ! ing army to become helpless victims ! of poverty all their lives. j Hoys in town and country, learn ;i trade.

The (ieoruia Philosopher lias no Patience with the Trainpiiiir " Welders. There was a time when every State had a law punishing vagrancy and it said that any man who was found go ing1 about in idleness and had no vis ible means of support should be deemed a vagrant, and on convic tion should be imprisoned and put to la bor. I don't think that law has ever been repealed in (leorgia, but it is a dead letter, and I reckon it ought to be in these hard times. There are now thousands who are idle and have no means of support visible or invisible. Most of them are willing to work, but can't get work to do. Neverthe less this Coxo- army is nothing but an army of tramps, an excursion of willing vagrants who would rather "plunder than work. We have no pa tience with them no consideration for them. If any of them have fami lies where are they and who is sup porting them while the head of the house is howling over the country? If they have no families, why don't they sc atter over the West or South and work for their victuals and clothes on the farms or in the mines or on the railroads, rather than to beg or to rob or intimidate for a living? Most of them are like the organ grinder who stops under your win- dow and grinds out his horriu music ; until the lady of the house throws j him a nickel and says: ''Please pass J on." "Na. na." he replies. "Me pass j on for two nickels." and he grinds awav until she throws him anothei The good people along- the route of this army are alarmed at their pres ence and give them bread and meat to go on. So do the towns and cities. They are looked upon as dangerou. and they are.

We out- dt there and laughs at their own quarrels and talks and jokes and prints their speeches and draws their pay and tramps over the country when they feel like it. A late cor respondent says the average daily number of absentees in the House is seventy, and hence it frequently takes several days to get a quorum. The cost of a session is said to be half a million a day and the people have it to pay. When will this out rage cease? When will they pass a tariff bill? It does uot matter much what kind of a bill it is so they pass one. Capital is waiting on Congress, : and labor is waiting on capital. Mil-j lions are lying idle that would be in - vested m manufac tures or in mines or railroads, if it was known what the tariff was.

There is not enough difffer ence in the two great parties to give the people much concern. The pend ing tariff bill, with all of its amend ments is no better than the McKin ley bill.

IJusiness conditions during the past week have continued unsatisfac tory. The bituminous coal and coke trade strikes and labor troubles in other fields have aggravated the existing depression. The output of pig iron in the West has been greatly cur tailed; but aside from industrial stoppages, which have resulted from a scarcity of fuel or the refusal of workmen to accept offered wages, there has been no further restriction of production. The distribution of manufactured goods in some depart ments has been smaller because spring trade requirements at first hands had been previously covered. In all lines there is a disposition to avoid unnecessary engagements ex tending into the future. This hesi tancy is in part due to falling prices and to distrust of general business prospects; but much of it proceeds from uncertainty about the tariff laws. Recent developments at Wash ington indicate that the latter cause of trade disturbance will soon be re moved, and it is highly important that it should be without further de lay. Exports of merchandise have fallen off; but the New York totals for April were over '.) per cent, larger than they were for the corresponding month last year. The comparative decrease in imports during the same period was 3.' per cent. The Treas ury ""Id reserves have ljecn depleted by further exports of gold; but the shipments had no appreciable effect on the financial markets. IJusiness failures in the United States and Canada during the last week num bered 2s, as against 243 for the cor responding week last year. Accord ing to R. G. Dun & Co. there has been a marked decrease in the liabil ities of failing traders. The total for the last week of April was $ 1.44s, -144. and for four weeks 3.722.70$, of which $3,722,220 were of manu facturing and $4.". 14.3n'7 of trading concerns. There has been a further decline of 3-1 G of a cent r pound in the price of cotton, as a result of liquidation by discouraged "speculative holders and the continued indifference of spinners. The movement from the South has been moderate, but lias continued to run about even with that of last year at the correspond ing period and crop conditions have continued favorable. The cotton goods trade has Ih-cii of a reassorting character, and without noteworthy activity in any department. In spite of restricted production and the fact that a few makes are sold ahead, the general supply of cotton goods in first hands is ample, and in some in stances stocks are redundant. In view of the unsatisfactory condition of the trade in these products, man ufacturers are cautious buyers of the raw staple even at the lower prices now current. So far this crop year the comparative decrease in North ern mill takings of cotton has been 2CS.232 bales. Wheat prices made a new low re cord last week, in consecpucnce of further liquidation of speculative holdings of May contracts; but after the May deliveries had been absorb ed there was a partial recovery, and as compared with figures current a week ago prices are now only J of a cent per bushel lower in New York, and i of a cent higher in Chicago. The interior movement of wheat b small, and as more of the grain is going abroad or into consumption in this country than is now coming into commercial centres the visible supply is running down. It is nearly 9.000, 000 bushels less than it was ayear ago, but is still large (M.oSS.OOO bushels): and in view of the near approach of another harvest the supply figures afford no encouragement to bullish speculation. The weather recently has been favorable to the develop ment of the wheat crop, and the out look is more encouraging'. Export ers are buying moderately of spt-c ia! grades of wheat, but there is no ac tivity in the demand. Corn prices showed some weak ness early in the week, in sympathy with the decline in the wheat mar kets, but have since rec overed to the level of quotations current a week ago. Receipts at Western centres are lighter, and stocks are decreas ing'; but while exports continue lib eral, the outward movement is large ly on account of previous engage ments, and the new demand for for eign shipment is light. Yalues of provisions show- little net change for the week. There has been a fair home trade distribution and a con tinued free movement for export. Multnin In Prvo.

There are no earnings so highly taxed as those of the jMior. They pay an exorbitant profit on the ne cessities of life, and death brings to them the double burden of sorrow and extortionate undertakers' bills. The jHHir man's coal costs him twice as much as that of the millionaire, and the poor man's loaf is apt to be half the weight it ought to lie. He pays two prices for the milk he buys for his children, and generally gets it stale and polluted at that. The rent of his tenement commonly yields its owner alxiut twice the rate of interest that is obtainable on fine residence property, and it is con structed with just as little regard to sanitary regulations as the law allows. No Hard Times with Him. Lenoir Topic. The other day we asked a fanner if the hard times had hurt him and the answer he gave us was that he had made more money within the last six months than he ever made liefore in the same length of time. ''How did you do it? " we asked him. Here plied, ''I have had something to sell the people wanted and had to have." That is the solution of the hard times. Don't cry hard times when you have nothing to sell w hich will bring mon ey, but go to work, raise something the people need and hard times will never bother you. A Deputy Sheriff Held l. WatuUKa PcliKicnit. On last Saturday as Deputy Sher iff Hampton was coming up the Dlue Ridge, not far from J. S.

They then took his pocket book containing near ly $30 in cash (tax funds) and after giving him a heavy round of threats and abuse, left him. Mr. Hampton says they were entire strangers to him. and we fear that they will miss the justice they so ric hly deserve.
