The hanging of Sydney Randolph by a mob at Rockville early this morning was a cold-blooded murder. There have been combinations of circumstances out of which feeble and inadmissible excuses for lynch- ing have been speciously framed but not one of such circumstances was to be found in the Randoiph case. Here was no crim- inal, caught red-handed in murder, in a community where legal punishment is un- certain. Here was no confession or dis- tinet proof of a peculiarly atrocious crime, for which the punishment designated by the law is in the popular opinion imade- quate. A prisoner of whose guilt there was se- rious doubt was dragged from a jail in tie Maryland suburbs of the capital of the nation, where he was awaiting trial and certain punishment, if guilty, and wes killed in cold blood. The men who com- mitted this outrage on the law and on the wood name of law-abiding Moatgomery county branded with the mark of Cain as deeply and as indelibly as the unknown Lrute who wielded ihe ax which sent the little Brxton girl to her dea Of the guilt of the lynchers there can be no doubt; that Randolph was a murderer is by no means sure. Si det ves who had studied the case thoroughly did not hesi- to pronounce him innocent. He was @ ular, ignorant tramp negro, with no coverable enimosity toward the Buxtons, who with a twelve-pound ax, according to his accusers, struck such light blows on the heads of four persons that only one was fatally wounded. It might have been that in the course of a@ legal trial facts at present unknown would have developed to convict Randolph, but at the time when he was murdered that evidence was lacking. Montgomery county, which has always been proud of its deserved reputation as a law-abiding and law-enforcing community, has a double task to perform. Possibly the slayer of the Buxton child and certainly the assassins of Randolph are at large. ere-should be no cessation of personal or jal endeavor until every one of the cfiminals has been arrested and tried. Fail- ure by the authorities to deal relentleSsty with both crimes will work untold injury to the fair fame of Montgomery county, and will add to the reputation for lawless- ness which Maryland seems bent upon achieving. ° soe AH One Today. This is a time of great political uncer- ta What with finance and the tariff and belters and threats of bolting there Is all manner of confusicn, which promises to become more involved and more trou- Yiesome as time rolls on. Republicans ‘*vho believe in silver shake their fists in faces of republicans who believe in while similar scenes are being cted in the democratic party. Then are the prohibition who are ing for a principle, and the popu- who do not need any such induce- sat as a principle to draw them Into the It is a great mix-up, yet there ts no danger in it. With all the marvelous diversity of sentiment which exists throughout the length and breadth of this land there is unanimity as to “the day wwe celebrate.” Go where you will in the United States on this the one hundred and twentieth anniversary of the famous Declaration of Independence you will find the Stars and Stripes conspicuously dis- played by millions of men, women and children, who are conscientious believers in everything of which the national colors are emblematic. In matters political, social and financial there may be wide ifference of opinion, but when the pa- triotte chord is struck there is instant re- Sponse in countless hearts in which the courage of the fathers is faithfully re- produced. ‘There is pleasing movement now toward rerewing the old-fashioned celebrations of cur national birthday—minus the intoxica- tion which was once an unfortunate fea- ture of the occasion—and this movement deserves encouragement. Every year there come to this country many thousands of people to whom the real Fourth of July is an enigma. They will never learn. the glorious truth from firecrackers or bombs cr toy-pistols, so it behooves the orator to set into training. A great deal of fun has been poked at the Fourth of July orator, but he has done noble work and can do very much more of it if he is given half a chance. Let us have more of the old-fash- fored Fourth. 5 —_~+++___ A great many people will doubtless be surprised to learn that a large number of Sioux Indians congregated at the scene of the Custer massacre on the Little Big Horn on June 25 and there celebrated the tnentieth anniversary of the greatest vic- tory Indians ever enjoyed over American soldiers. Remarkable as the celebration was it was not without precedent. Such eccerions are becoming quite common all over the country. ———_ +e Imagined Historic Parallels. Some historical parallels are running at Chicago—not all of them exact, but all in- teresting, and in the excitement of the great gathering serving a certain purpose. The most notable one ts hardly the most convincing. This makes of Mr. Bland the Lincoln of the hour. The Missouri leader is to be the later emancipator. He is to relieve the people of their financial shackles as Mr. Lincoln did the blacks of the bonds of slavery. Mr. Bland does not hold the same rela- ticn to his party on the subject of silver that Mr. Lincoln did to his in 1860 on the subject of slavery. Mr. Lincoin was not an abolitionist at that time. He was opposed to the institution of slavery, but he did not ropose to end it at once by a stroke of pen, or by any means. He was a con- servative in the eyes of the abolitionis<s. ‘They did not fancy him particularly— weuld not have nominated him had they been in control. He wanted to proceed on the Hnes of a national agreement. That Was not extreme enough for men of the Garrison school, and during the first two 2 years of Mr. Lincoln in office they criticised him severely, insisting on some extreme action by him. Mr. Bland as a silver man is one of the mest extreme cf that school. He ts of the Garrisonian type of leader. He proposes to take extreme action at once. He wants the present financial policy of this country to be changed as soon as a Congress can be elected to write the law. That is the secret of his strength. The silver men be- Heve that if elected President he would use the whole power of his offite in behalf of aflver. No conservative proposition weuld recelve a moment's consideration at his hands, but his whole purpose would be, from the hour of his entrance into the White House, to assist in realizing the full hopes of the friends of silver. Not a word of criticism of him would likely be heard from any advocate of free coinage as an independent act by this government. The personalities of the two men are compared. Mr. Lincoln was a plain man of the people; Mr. Bland is a plain man of the pecple. Mr. Lincoln lived in a plain way {n a small town removed from the schem- ing of tho politicians. So does Mr. Bland. Mr. Lincoln was greatly respected and trrsted by his neighbors regardless of party. So is Mr. Bland. The rail-splitter was a captivating figure in the popular eye of that day. The hay-maker would be in the popular eye of this day. And so on. But plain and even kemely man that he was; a villager in the simplicity of his manners and In the style of his dress; no caucus-fixer, no master of “fine work” in the political game, Mr. Lincoln had yet, before he was nominated for President the first time, demonstrated that he was a man of genius. He had met Judge Douglass, the greatest man in the democratic party, and vanquished him in a stumping tour lasting for weeks, and his Cooper Union speech had brought the east in a sort of wonder at his feet. Mr. Seward’s warmest friends took the new man’s size, and saw that he was an intellectual as well as a physical giant, and they went to Chicago half way prepared for the defeat they met there. = Mr. Bland has no achievements to be ccmpared with these. Can he, lacking Mr. Lincoln's grea'est gifts, play Mr. Lincoln’s great part? —___++2_____ Silver at Chicago. Shall the silver giant at Chicago use his strength Ike a glant? He is tempted to do so. Tke convention is so manifestly his that he wants to direct every phase of the proceeding. He wants to name all the con- vention officers, to make up the committees, to write the platform, and to nominate the ticket. He asks himself the question, “Why take any chances? Silver being the issue, the more completely I dominate this body the better.” The point is debatable. A majority may use its power with too great severity. A silver platform and a silver ticket are ex- pected. In fact, they go together. A straightforward declaration of principles capped by a wobbly representative would be grotesque. The country would not re- ceive such a performance seriously. So far as the platform and the ticket are con- cerned, therefore, the right of silver to rule and the wisdom of such a course would appear to be unquestionable. But at least a third of the convention is for gold, and the men of that faith are asking some sort of recognition. They don't want to appear as having no part or lot in the proceedings at any stage of the game. There is, of course, on the other hand, this question to be answered: Why should the gold men, finding themselves so hope- lessly in the minority, care for other Part in the convention than to present their views and record themselves in favor of them. As silver is in control, let silver be solely responsible. But this, it is com- plained, would make of the convention merely a silver body, whereas it is a demo- cratic body, called together to formulate a party platform, of which the money ques- tion is to form but one plank. There must be campaigns waged in states where de- mocracy stands for a revenue tariff and for other things. How shall the fight be made in those states, therefore, unless the con- vention is made to take on the aspect of political brotherhood at some stage of the proceedings? If the convention records it- self simply as a silver body, having regard to no other proposition, and blacklisting all the men present who do noi subscribe to tree coinage, the effect is certain to be dis- asirous im many localities. it wili be interesting to note, after the work at Chicago is done, how the demo- cratic organizations in New England, New York and in other kindred locaitties proceed to form their lines of battie, and how they salute @ sitandard inscribed with free silver above ail else. —_++«-+-—___ Kites and Science. Caucasians have frequently smiled at the kite-flying Chinaman. At first glance there is cause for laughter in the spectacle of a sedate person of mature years seriously jaged in what we have always regarded 4s the boyish amusement of doing the best he could to direct the movements of an air- suported kite. But all kites are not toys, hor are all kite-flyers in search of recrea- tion. The Boston Aeronautical Society holds that the kite is a scientific instru- ment of value, and worthy the attention of those who take an interest in sclentitic experiment. To encourage kite-designing and kite-flying the Society has planned a competition, cash prizes amounting in the aggregate to one hundred and fifty dollars to be distributed among the more conspicu- ously successful kite builders. In addition to this inducement there is an offer by ex- President Octave Chanute, of the American Society of Civil Engineers, of a special prize of one hundred dollars for the best mono- graph on the kite, giving a full theory of its mechanics and stability, with quanti- tative computations appended. It is hoped that the Boston police authorities will not Fermit the Boston small boy to interfere with the kite-flying scientists when they assemble for their great competition in September. > ¢--______ It is probable that Mr. Hanna will be able to point to the Chicago convention as showing how much time may be need- lessly consumed through the lack of a good manager to arrange a program before- hand. 0 It is a matter for regret to the nervous that people cannot show their patriotism as satisfactorily by studying the Constitution and history of the United States as they can by letting off cannon crackers. ——_+-+e—____ Senator Gorman’s absence from the con- vention may be due to the belief that he can find trouble enough in his own state without going clear to Chicago after it. — > e=______ So long as nobody else presents a formal claim to his title Governor Altgeld may have little difficulty in being referred to as “a leader.” —_-- ++ = ____ Having in mind the unpleasant experi- ences of Thomas B. Reed, Mr. Boles will go to Chicago and personally conduct his boom. —_>+e—___ Mr. Carlisle would be very much obliged if Mr. Blackburn would quit crowding in the favorite-son corner. —_++e_____ Maryland should lose no time in coming out flat-footed on an anti-lynching piat- form. —___ seo Mr. Bland might be forgiven for wishing Mr. Teller would not be quite so neighborly. > © 2 ____ The situation at Chicago shows a great many more early birds than worms. ‘The last week prior to the national demo- cratic convention at Chicago found Richard P. Bland cf Missouri in the lead for the presidential nomination; the silver leaders sought to have the executive committee se- lect a silver man for temporary chairman, but the committee refused to change the custom, but to have the national commit- tee, which has an anti-silver majority, se- lect the cheirman; a strong undercurrent of feeling favorable to the nomination of Senator Teller was developed. The annual reunion of confederates was held at Rich- mond and the corner stone wes laid of a Davis memorial. An overcrowded plier at Marine Park, Boston, collapsed, and thirty people were thrown into the water, two of whom were drowned. The sheriff of Wil- mington, Del., seized the gas plant owned by J. Edward Addicks, in that city, who has refused to pay taxes upon it because it {s not in operation. Garret A. Hobart, re- publican nominee for Vice President, visit- ed Canton and met Gov. McKinley for the first time since their nomination. At New- port, Ky., Judge Helm overruled the mo- tion for a new trial for Alonzo Walling, convicted as an accomplice of Scott Jack- son in the murder of Pearl Bryan. Will- fam Turner and William R. Dunlop, the Burden diamond robbers, were sentenced to nine years ih prison. The National Base Ball League board of directors held a meeting at Pittsburg and sustained the New York club owner in every particular in the case of Pitcher Rusie. Sadie B. Mc- Keen of New York committed suicide in a Philadelphia hotel by shooting herself through the heart. Deputy sheriffs had a fight with strikers who were trying to pre- vent new men from taking thelr places at the Berea stone quarries at Westview, Ohio, A riot was caused at Cleveland by the fatal shooting of a striker from the Brown Hoisting Company's works; the militia was summoned to protect the shoot- er, who claimed to have fired in self de- tense. President Cleveland went to his sum- mer home at Gray Gables. Postmaster Sam’l A. Laning of Bridgeport, N. J.,was re- moved for violating the civil service laws, and will also be presented criminally. The deaths of the week included Harriet Beecher Stowe, Theodore D. Wilson, naval constructor at the Charleston yard; Gen. A, R. Lawton of Savannah, Ga., and Charles Howard Johnson, artist and illus- trator. Foreign. The agricultural rating bill passed its third reading in the British house of com- mons. A much better feeling prevailed on the London stock exchange in regard to American stocks. Frederick Errazwiz was elected president of Chile. Fighting be- tween the Dutch and the Achinese has been renewed in the Dutch Indies. An ex- plosion in the Fort Mozelle arsenal, near Metz, killed several persons and seriously injured many others. At Buenos Ayres Dr. Alern, the leader of the radicals, committed suicide; he took part in several revolu- tlons, but wes pardoned. In the District. Public attention was aroused by two lynchings in‘this vicinity, one at Port To- bacco, Md., when Joseph Cocking, accused of ths murder of his wife and her sister, was taken from jail by a mob; the other case was that of Sidney Randolph, colored, charged with a murderous assault on the Buxton family, near Gaithersburg, Md., and was taken from the prison at Rock- ville, Md., and hung. At a meeting of the beard cf public school trustees the teach- ers for the new school year were appointed, the principal changes being the appoint. nents of H. M. Johnson in place of C. M. Lacey Sites as principal of the Eastern High School, and W. S. Montgomery in place of Prof. Cardozo, the principal of the Colored High School. Tents were erected on the White Lot for the use of the C. E. conven- tion, which meets here next week. After an Investigation the justices of the Su- preme Court of the District decided that the charges brought against Capt. Leonard, warden of the District jail, were unfounded. Theodore W. Noyes was elected president and John B. Larner, secretary, at a meet- ing of the board of trustees of the public library. SHOOTING STARS. A Firecracker Story. He did it in sport; He alone ts to blame; The fuse was too short. New his finger’s the same. “Some men,” said Uncle Eben, “nebber seems ‘er git real industrious ontll dey’s doin’ sumpin’ dey’s gwinter be sorry foh.” Maternal Pride. “My son is very much devoted to the classics,” said the proud-looking lady. “He is taking his vacation now, isn’t he?” “Yes. But even in his preparations for the Fourth of July I detected a great par- tiality for Greek fire and Roman candles.” A Substitute. A boy in this city failed to get a permit to celebrate the Fourth, owing to the fact that he had been away and did not return until last night. His parents warned him against using fireworks of any kind, and he was indignant. Early in the morning, however. his face was radiant with smiles, as he wont through the dining room with a mallet. “What are you going to do with that?” his father asked. “Celebrate the Fourth.” “You must rot explode caps with that.” “I'm not going to. I am not going to use any explosives at all.” Presently a noise that shook the china reverberated through the house. The fam- ily jumped in dismay. It was repeated and the family rushed to the back door. “Did you make that noise?" asked the boy’s father. “Yes, sir. Isn't it a wonder? I noticed that this tin roof was a iittle loose, and every time I hit it, it makes a noise that I wouldn't trade for a whole pack of cannon crackers.”” = A Theory. “I want to get a permit to shoot fire- works,” he said to the policeman. : “Go right up to headquarters.” “How much'll it cost?” “Nothing.” “What qualifications do I have to show!” “None. Just go up and get your permit; that’s all.” “But if there’s nobody they want to keep from getting permits, and they don’t ex- pect any revenue from them, will you tell me what the use is in issuing them at all?” “I don’t know exactly. The only reason I can guess for it is that they thought the clerks weren't having enough to do; and mebby they had some old back-number ink that they wanted to work off.
