Public opinion in Virgifila appears to be deeply agitated over the Emporia tynching, and the governor, the county judge and the sheriff are coming in for a rather severe criticism. Just now the affair is shrouded in some degree of mystery, and {t is tm- possible to ascertain who 1s responsible for the tragedy, which had been apparently averted by the intervention of the militia control by a responsible body this principle of good local government should not be ignored. In another item the proposal is open to objection. It is gravely to bé doubted whether the best results would flow from and was then permitted through the with- €rawal of the soldiers. Gov. Tyler defends his course by laying the blame on the sheriff, who ordered the soldiers away. Yet the final telegram received at Rich- mond from the officer in charge of the sol- diers, while announcing that all was then quiet, specifically stated that without pro- tection the prisoners would be lynched that night. And they were lynched, for no pro- tection was given them. The state should by all means investigate this matter. If there Is any doubt as to the right of the governor to order the militia to remain on the scene even against the orders of the sheriff, they should be dispelled by statute. For it is most desir- able that the state's executive should be unhampered in his treatment of such emergencies. Being at a distance from the scene, yet in touch with the case through the militia officers, he is better able to judge the necessities than those who are directly embroiled and whose passions and fears may warp their judgment. Virginia is showing marked signs of a reaction in this matter of lynching, and as shown by the current agitation is free to express her sentiments in deprecation of the outrageous custom. Whatever may be the legal out- come of the Emporia tragedy the moral ef- fect is likely to be wholesome. —__ += —_____ An actress is to have a gold statue made of herself.

Dem.). ‘The nomination of McKinley ts Inevitable. The President's health ts good. It is so good that he will probably survive another national convention, in which event he will more be the standard-bearer of his rty. Nor is it clear that any considerable number of republ ns are looking for a way out. So far as the Eagle {s aware, not a single contest concerning the candidate r first p! eon the ticket is likely to be As an organization the party its preference at Phila- delphia. It looks as though the expression would be unanimous, which will be signifi- cant enough.
