ERIQUSLY, if an American were isolated in another country and looking in perspective upon his native land he would be hard pressed 45 for explanations that would make the current event among us consistent with our claim of a high civili- €ation. Whether the country is responding in its own way to Governor Roosevelt's call to a “more strenuous | life,” or whether the passions always let loose by war are at large, or whatever may be the reason, the past vear has been characterized by a disregard for law | terests of the Brooklyn man. Some strong papers in the South have advocated Gorman and some able politicians in the North have openly declared for him, { but the masses North and South have continued to shout for Bryan with the persistency of parrots that have but one cry. Repeated failures following one another so rap- { idly would dishearten most men, to the extent at |least of inclining them to give up and take a rest during the summer, but Tammany is tircless. A new plan has been devised and is now being worked up at Saratoga, where a considerable number of Demo- cratic leaders from all parts of the country are gath- and its orderly administration to an extent herctofore unknown in our history. To say nothing of the wage | troubles, in which dynamite and missiles, the torch and rifle have been appealed to in more than & scorz| of es, the issue being between employer and em- | ployed, there is the infliction of the death penalty by | : | mobs, the issue being between one or a few indi-| vidus and scores and hundreds of cit law to punish its violation. There have been in the United States within the | year one hundred lynchings. The most oi them have occurred in the South, and negroes have been the victims. In the majority of cases the exciting cquse been the commission of an unspeakable crime, | but in a percentage of them there was no proof that | the victim was guilty. The sad truth seems to be| that the relations between whites and blacks in the | s, known or suspected to have violated the law, zens who violate the W | South have become so strained that the fires of a de- vastating race war are smoldering in more than half of those States. The whites are falling into the habit of considering it their duty to kill a negro when one of that race commits a crime, and one is killed with- out any nicety of discrimination as to his identity. The mob habit being abroad. others than negroes are its victims. Within a month fifty missionaries of the Mormon church have been mobbed in Georgi Tennessee and Kentucky. Their churches have been burned or torn down, and every right of free speech and religious teleration has been denied to them. Any one who knows the effect of persecution upon a religious sect knows that these things will do more to propagate Mormonism than preaching Thercfore all who believe that sect to be pernicious must appalled when ignorant and mistaken men put behind it the i Mormonism can do. mpetus of martyrdom. | never became formidable until after Joseph Smith was shot by an Illinois mob in Carthage jail and his fol- lowers were banished from Nauvoo. when it went to the other pprty religious persecution began and the future of Mormonism was assured. The church is now rich and already announces that it will | if spend a million need be, to protect its missions nd its issued $500,000 in church bonds, all of which were taken by rich Mormons in Utah. Therefore no one need be troubled about the effect on that theocracy, which can take care of itseli.

We protect the heathen, and we mob missionaries at home, because their brand of Chri war has more serious f missionaries abroad, among anity does not suit us. The race atures than the religious war. General Stephen D. Lee, a very influential member of the Confederate Veterans, advises that the South proceed to exterminate the negros ppall- and it is ing that this proposition is regarded as reasonable, tates like V. ginia. Throughout the South if a citizen or a news- { paper deprecate the lynching of a negro instantly comes back the accusation from the lynchers of sym- pathy with the crime committed by the victim.

By this plan it is proposed to bring forward favorite sons from as many States as have such precious and popular possessions and present them all at the next convention in opposition to the Nebraska favorite. Ii the scheme can be carried out, a good many delegations that otherwise might be instructed for Bryan will be sent to the national convention to sup- port local favorites. New York will be pledged to Pennsylvania to Pattison; Illinois 1o Ohio to Campbell; Maryland to Gorman; Harrisor Massachusetts to Olney; Missouri to Stone; and it is believed other States can be found where Demo- crats have sufficient pride in a local favorite to in- struct a delegation for him. Th: object of the plan of course is to prevent Bryvan from carrying the convention with a rush. By dividicg the vote among many candidates the con- test will be prolonged until confusion will result, and then the astute politicians who are working against the free silver champion will be able to make com- binations that will defeat him in the end. From reports made by Southerners at Saratoga it appears there is a widespread discontent in that sec- tion with the Bryan leadership. In the South the | Democratic party is the conservative party, and the Dbetter elements of it are naturally antagonistic to the vagaries of Populism, of which Bryan is the repre- They do not like the work of fighting | Populists in their State politics and then supporting | what are virtually a Populist platiorm and a Populist candidate in national politics. Tammany will thus have considerable support from the delegations of that section in making combinations against Bryan if it have an opportunity to do so in the convention. Hence the scheme of putting up the favorite sons. sentative. The report of the Samoan Commission has reached Washington, but Secretary of State Hay says he will not permit the details to be made public until after the document has been inspected by the officials. When The Call published the complete report two + weeks ago it had no desire to make the worthy Secre- tary of State act like the ostrich with his head in the sand. 2 Scientists attribute the recent seismic disturbances in all parts of the globe to the fact that the earth has | been on an uneven keel. The fact that Tom Reed has | crossed over to this side from Europe will tend to rearrange the equilibrium. Let the procession of the THE ASSAULT ON LABORI equinoxes proceed! Y the assault upon M.

At present this most distressing issue, gen- erated in a slowly accumulated passion that cannot be reasoned with, is the great American problem. e e . At a dinner given recently in his honor, Captain Sigsbee said he felt like a whale. Right on the heels of this statement he declined to make a speech. That's where the former commander of-the ill-fated Maine is different from other whales of the navy.

ITH a vigor that is surprising, considering the heat of the dog days in the East, the Democratic politicians of that section are his leadership of the party and to defeat his expecta- tions of a renomination next year. The attempt of Tammany to start a boom for Van Wyck failed at the famous Jefferson banquet. The dollar dinner of the Bryanites eclipsed the Tammany feast and, despite the luxury of champagne and or- tolans, made it look like thirty cents at a Democratic primary. The effort made on the Fourth of July was even more futile, for on that glorious day, in Tam- many Hall itself, Mr. Hogg Texas rooted the thing up by the roots and left not a sprout behind.
