WASHINGTON: teined and may never be, but it that the bloodshed resulted from the plaint of assault had been made by an armed body of white men without legal autharity to arrest him. The deaths have apparent- ly been caused by the fact that in- dividuals have attempted to take the administration of law into their own hands and to administer it through the shot- gus, instead of through the agency of courts and the officers of law. A similar attempt at Birmingham, Alabama, even after the man against whom mob violence was directed was in the hands of the law, resulted in loss of life. It fs strange that the similar lawless efforts of the White Caps in Indiana and Ohio to make their fellow citizens law abiding have not ended in the shooting of some of the masked whippers of their neighbors. The lesson to be learned in all these cases is that private vengeance, either by the individuals directly aggrieved or by sympathetic mobs, must not be substituted for legal methods of punishment through the constituted agencies. os ‘There are indications that the day for ‘wooden and iron bridges, at least for railway purposes, is going by. The managers of the Pennsylvania railroad have resolved to rebuild all ite short-span structures of that class in brick or stone, instead of iron. It is argued that the weight of locomotives has increased so much of late years that iron bridges, which were built with a large margin of safety, are now dangerously Ytried by the trains passing over them, and the expense of inspection and repair of iron bridges represents » large interest on their cost. For these reasons the engineers on the road have decided that brick or stone arches, although much more expensive in the first instance than iron trusses, will be ebeaper, as well as safer, in the end. ‘The same reasoning will apply, though with perhaps less force, to wooden and iron bridges on ordinary roadways, and the intelligent local authorities in many localities are now substi- tuting stone arches for short span ,bridges and culverts where rebuilding has been necessary. Considering their greater durability and lighter cost of repairs, they are far more economical in the end on an ordinary wagon road, as well as on a railway line. And there is another point worth taking into account, ‘That is the esthetical consideration. Few ob- jects add so much to the attractions of a land- scape view ag a substantial arched stone bridge, flanked with trees and bushes, and overgrown with trailing vines, Therefore we say put up if possible an arch of stone or brick wherever @ gully or stream is to be spanned. ———————— In the brewing trade, it seems, we are to witness not only the formation of a great trust, but its management, when formed, by a syndi- cate of British capitalists. They have already perfected the bargain whereby they are to buy up several concerns in the interior of New York state, aud others will follow, pre- sumptively, in due course. It seems as if it were enough to have a gigantic industry gripped and throttled, without having the work done by the hands of foreigners. Remarkably enough, democrats, whose party is going out of power, made the attempt in Congress to break down the civil-service law, and the law was defended by the victorious re- publicans, at the expense of abnegation of spoils, and especially by an Indiana republican, in close communion with the incoming admin- istration, Deserving clerks will note the latter fact with satisfacti ee Some persons who know more about the dic- tionary than about modern political biography, persist in pronouncing the name of Pennsyl- vania’s junior Senator as if it were spelled “Key.” They do not fully comprehend their error till they have tried to draw from him some comments on the situation, and discover how little he is willing to unlock. — ——+eo ‘The neat bit of storm which Washington got on Monday night was shared, it appears, by a pretty large section of country, running from quite a distance south of us to points in Can- ada. The beauty of this city's visitation was that it left no wrecks, to speak of, behind. ‘The citizen who went to bed with the rain pelting against his windows and the wind whistling through his chimneys, awoke in the morning with the sun shining as brightly as in May, upon streets washed so clean and blown so dry that no one who had not been here over- night would have suspected the existence of storm, for a month past. —— The Christmas buyer crowds the stores and sidewalks. Washington furnishes this year ex- cellent shopping weather and a fine assortment of attractive goods from which to select, = enous! sores One of the ports of Hayti has been bom- barded, but not by the United States fleet. There will not be much left of Hayti for ary outside nation to fight if the civil war there lasts long enough. SS The tories have won in the parliamentary election at Colchester by an increased majori- ty. The series of liberal gains and victories, monotonous and discouraging to their oppo- nents, is at last broken. It isa long lane that has no turning. $$ The new elections in Servia result even less favorably for Milan than those which he re- cently set aside. Evidently the voters are not so pliable as the officials who dispense divorces, $a The Deacon White who has bought a con- trolling interest in the Buffalo base ball club is uot the Deacon White who represents one of the Brooklyn districts in Congress. The game the Brooklyn deacon aims at is bigger than the maticoal one. Wospzarct Scarce For Casu. HOLIDAY BARGAINS.
