She went to England some time ago and lectured on the lynching of colored men in the South and on lynching generally in this country. She succeeded in organizing there a good many anti-lynching clubs. In the abstract, that was well. We ueed reform in the direction in which she is working. It is to our discredit that this Is true. But it is humiliating to have English clubs resolve and petition con cerning it. But Ida B. Wells has now returned snd has created a good deal of trouble al ready and sot the press* the land over into a ferment. She has begun a lecturing and organizing tour here, her whole at tention being directed southerly. Her enthusiasm has carried her and her clubs into bitterness of speech against the South, and as a result this apparent ran cor has stirred up the Southern people and press until the old-time sectional talk is beginning to be resumed. It is charged that Miss Wells U not fair; that she not only mistakes and misun derstands conditions, but that she exag- geratos to the very verge of falsehood. Miss Wells contends that oue of her aims is to create a sentiment that will lend aid to the effort to lead the colored people of the South to a higher moral plane. On this line we quite agree with the Columbus Dispatch, that it is in order to ask our Southern brethren if indeed they have done their duty in this regard ? Have they given the helping hand that they might have extended? Have they been sufficiently concerned about the elevation of the colored people into a better moral atmosphere ? But Miss Wells in her ardor has gone to the extent of charging that in the South the ravishing of women charged to ne groes, would, were there no difference in color, be in a great majority of cases con sidered but adultery. In this she has cruelly assailed Southern women, and when she does that she touches the Southern man upon the raw. Ida Wells is handicapping herself, out ting oil' the possibility of good her mis sion might accomplish. She charges the sluggish movement of civilizing influ ences among the negroes in the South wholly to tho acts and iuiluence of the whites, and, as we find her reported, has not taken into consideration at all the failure of the negro in so far as there has been opportunity afforded him to become self-helpful and to take steps forward and upward. But, passing that, as a matter of fact there is a change of sentiment going on in the South regarding the lynching of negroes. A year ago the New Orleans limeS'Democrat, several Florida journals, and some of the papers of the Carolinas, entered protests against the practice and told the people that the thing must step; that tl" South could no longer iuvite the odium of such acts. It required a groat deal of courage to say as muob, but to day we read of a mass meeting of whites recently held at 2s ew Iberia, Louisiana, protesting against the lynching of a negro boy at that place. In Tennessee and Mis sissippi there is decided new opposition to the lynching sentiment, and in Virginia it would be very diiiicuit'new to organize a lynching party. The New Orleans TinwDeiHOcrat ad mits that in many sections the people be lieve that the safest rule in tile poorly policed regions is the lynch rule. It adds that a campaign of education will be re quired to convince the majority to the contrary. The LouisvLie douricr-Jour- nal declares that it is unnecessary to de nounce lynching as a wrong; "the wrong is admitted." But, exclaims this and other Southern journals: It is not accessary to inflame the races against each other by a recital of brutal crime*. The remedy for lynouiug is not n*ce conflict, but a strong public sentiment in favor ot the punishment of ail crimes, however outrageous, by process of law. The dtfondcrg of mob law have been losing ground. It is iiuposaibiu to measure th« extent, to which la* Wells has ie tar fled this work by her out rageous attacks on the Southern women, hue is a mischievous agitator, who can do the negroes of the south no good. Governor Northen of Georgia alleges that Miss Wells has beeu sent over from England charged with a mission by English linauciors deeply interested in Western bonds, to heap slander upon the South, and thus divert tending immigra tion from the South to the West to aug meut the bondholders' security. That is simply absurd and, aa the New York Sun well «ays, "there is not the slightest ground of laot upon which to rest such an assertion." Th« whole difficulty is that Miss Wells treats of iynohing as exclusively South ern, while in fact it is not confined to the Mouth. Tfa«r« ar» very few Stt>Ce« in which there are not the courts of Judge Lynch—more ihe shame to ub that it is so. That they are more frequently found : in the South is due in some degree to the exceeding large criminal element among the negroes, and that there is among them such a number given to brutal crimes. Sensible law-abiding colored men know this to be true and deplore it. j It is to be attributed, of course, to the j slowness with which the negro race in the South mounts to a higher moral level and the slight encouragement given him. The South is sensitive; it is not there fore to be led by irritating it; to bitterly assail Southern whites is not tho way to induce them to unite with you, Miss Wells, in your mission. Neither wili the South be moved by club denunciatory resolutions passed in England. You will not gain a foot of advance by defaming Southern women. You will not drive any Southern community, but most of them may be led. To enkindle sectional bitterness of feeliug is almost a crime; to reform by abuse is an impossibility. Lynching is a reproach; it is murder by tho mob; it is brutal, savage and never to be justified or condoned. The orderly processes of the law must have their way; the iaws against crime must be enforced, and the education of the people away from savagery must be pushed on. Miss Wells is laboring in a right direction, but her method appears to be inllamina tory, and id therefore weak; she cannot speak too harshly of lynching anywhere; but she will accomplish nothing by in temperate assaults. She is right when sho sayo that the institutions of society cannot stand the strain lynching puts upon their powers of endurance; but to enforce conviction of this truth and to encourage respect for law aud to discour age lawlessness it is not necessary to in liame the South by a&daiiiug its women and embittering its men. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. They have an independent audit sys tem in (ireat Britaiu that protects stock holders. Under tne law all joint stuck companies have an auditor appointed by and directly responsible to the stock holders, lv some cases the auditors are appointed by law. Those auditors have at all times access to all books and papers of a stock company. When there is a vacancy in an auditorship that the stock holdera cannot be convened to fill at once, the Governmental Board of Trade makes the appointment on petilion of as many shareholders. The auditor serves for but one year, to avoid liability of his being corrupted, but he is eligible to re-election. An auditor cannot be a stockholder 01 an oiiicer or employe of the company or of its Board of Directors, ilis daties are prescribed by law, and are very ex - plioit. Whatever proposition the direc tors make to the stockholders the audi tor examines into and reports uuou to the shareholders to whom alone he is re sponsible. Of course such a position is oue of dignity and great importance, and is given only to men of high competency and business integrity. In a work on the system by F. W. Pixley, au eminent auditor, he says, after describing the op position an auditor will encounter from directors who have neglected their duties or prepared false accounts: "The direct ors are in his power if he is iirm, as they would be placed in an embarrassing po sition if they attempted to face the meet ing of the stockholders without the au ditor's certificate." The system works well throughout the United Kingdom, we are told, and is now being introduced freely into the United | States by companies in which English capital is largely invested. In England the business of "independ ent auditing" is undertaken largely by iirins of auditors, who train up men for this business, ana these fir ins undertake the auditorshipH for many companies, so that it is not necessary that there shall be a separate auditor for each company. By this means heavy cost is saved and the auditing for lesser corporations is done at a low figure. For several years one of these auditing tirms has had a branch house in the United States, and the testimony is that it has had all it could attend to, many companies falling into the system with j out Isgal compulsion. MONGOOSE NOT WANTED. W. K. \ anderbilt's Importation, for Ills Farm. Are we to have an animal past iv our country like the rabbit is in Australia? In conversation with a Record-Union reporter yesterday, William Land said: "I see by oue of the Sau Francisco papers that W. K. Vandorbllt ha» received b} steamor several mongooses, or Indian ichneumons, which he proposes to turn loose 011 his South Carolina farm. Ue no doubt thinks he is doing a good thing to get rid of the snakes, but I question if the day will not come when he will heartily repent of it. Iv India, where many thousands of the natives die every yeariroru the bites of poisonous snakes, the mongoose is v positive boon to the people. "Iv this oountry, however, it is differ ent, and toe animal is more likely to prove a curse, as it did in .Jamaica. I have seen many of them, and they are the most fearless, ferocious little animals I ever saw. Thoy will tackle not only rats, but cats and even dogs and men, and as they can bite terribly and are almost ac quick as lightning, they are very formidable antagonists. The cobra di capello is the most venomous of suakes, but tue mongoose, with his lightning-like movements, easily avoids his deadly fangs, and seizing him by the throat, kilis him instantly." The mongoose was introduced into the Island of Jamaica by a gentleman who thought to benelit the oountry and put a stop tw ihe ravages of the sugarcane rat. The mongoose not only killed the rats, but he killed the fowls of the people aa well, lie sucked the turtles' eggs and the hens' eggs, and anally became such a pest that the people booted the gentleman who introduced him, and added mon goose to his name. If these animals become plentiful in thus country we may bid farewell to our chickens, our turkeys and ducks and to our wild game. Their eggs will be de stroyed, and they themselves will be de voured. It is sinoerely to be hoped that Mr. Yauderbilt will reflect before he turns his importation loose in the coun t:-v- ,- S4IBA*JPA.BI&LA and Iron.

TO-NIGHT THE STATE FAIR OPENS. The Big Pavilion Well Filled With Handsome Exhibits. Cassnsa's Band Will Be Heard—An Assurance of a Brilliant Season of HaciDK. The doors of the State Agricultural So ciety's great exposition building wili be thrown open to the public this evening, aud the annual fair will be started. The last two days have worked won ders in the interior of the building. Al though carpenters and decorators are still at work, the exhibits have approached so near completion that the character of the show can be salely determined.! It will be a very attractive one in every respect, and those, who have been accus tomed to saying that there is a marked similarity in all lairs will lind much that is new in thin one. Some ol the local business houses have exceeded all prev ious etlbrts in the way of decorative art, while the foreign exhibits constitute a novelty that may never again be wit nessed La ihis country. For those who did not attend the Chi cago uor^au Francisco lairs, the Oriental. French, German, Russian, Irish and other lortign exhibits wili possess grtat iinerest. The paintings are now mostly in pia> c, and Superintendent Stan ton has them so arrauged as to give the besi possible elfect. There is a decided difference in the foreign and domestic schools, the loriner being ttio bolder aud more striking, while tue latter charm by their nnob trusiveness and close adherence to detail. To-night the famous Cassasa Hand of fiity star musicians will bu beard lor tlie first Lime iv this city, and the uiusio alone will be well worth tlie prico ol ad mission. TLe county exhibits promise to be uu ubually lino, aud it will puzzle tlie judges bow to award the handsome cash prizes that have been offered. Although thore have been several en aaieries iv operation in tho State lor some years past, comparatively lew per sons have any idea of how they are run. Those who visit the pavilion "this week aud next, however, wili be afforded an opportunity ol this kind, us one of these wholesale butter-making factories Will be in operation in Machinery Ha;!. the Park ali ia bustle and activity.

Superintendent Banooak baa a force of competent men at work putting the fin ishing touches on the racetrack, aud horsemen say it will bo in splouuid con dition. There are quite a number of strangers already Iv the city, and to-day something approaching a rush may bo looked for, although the main body of visitors will not show up until the races begin on Thursday. lleferriug to the fair, the San Francisco /W says: "The races this year promise to oe of unusual interest, as the best lot of horses ever brought together iv Cali fornia s\ ill contest. The ruuniug brigade is unusually strong, aud some grea formaneea are expected. Tbr two-year old division is particularly good, sucb cracks as Key Alphouso, Flashlight and Piquante being among the youngsters slated to start." GOT THE DOG. An Kxcltiug ClMMta in the Neighbor hood or the Depot* There was lots of fun about the depot yesterday, aud a dog was the cause of it all. It seems that Division Superintfcud< ut Wright received by express a valuable boar-houud, but while the animal was fastened in Wells-Fargo's ofiice in Uie depot he slipped his collar and escaped. The police were requested to kee;« a lookout for the dog, and linally oiiicer Talbot aud Special Fitzgerald got sit, rh; ol it aud tried to capture it, but the canine with swinish proclivities wouldn't let them approach him. They ran the dog up Front street and over the Volo bridge, where it doubled on them and Hew back through the depot like a blue streak. Tai but left Fitzgerald to "pipe oil" the fugitive while he went to a hackman to get a huchiug-strap. Then there was another race. The dog struck out across the nursery grounds toward I street,with Fitzgerald in hot pursuit. Talbot ha.l a poor »tart, but was bringing up tho roar with giant strides, and people who did not know what was up supposed Fitzgerald to be a murderer or something of the sort whom the uniformed rank man was trying to capture. Everybody shouted, and this spurred on the special oiiicer. The race was au exciting one until the dog—which was not familiar with the locality—got mixed up with the strands of a barbed-wire feace. Whiie he was In this predicament Fitzgerald camo upon him, aud the frightened brute was made a prisoner and taken back in triumph. Tne only wonder is that someone did not shoot Fitzgerald so that Talbot could catch him. LABOR DAY PICNIC. 1C Was a Wei! Attended aud Pleasant Affair. There was a great crowd of people at the Labor Day picnic held at East Park yesterday for the benefit of the families of men who had been left without employ ment as the result of the late disastrous raiiroad strike.

Bauer, aud in the afternoon by a string orchestra, Jed by K. lierlinger. Oue of the features of the afternoon was a burro race, which was won by Jack Har ris.

OF INTEREST TO Record-Uulou Subscribers. A File OR Harper's Weekly (During the War) is worth $100. Over 1,000 of the stirring Harper Weekly war pictures, by Thos. Nast and other iamous Harper war artists, taken right on the held, were used to illustrate HARPER'S Pictorial History . OF THE Civil ~\JJ<. This great book has sold for years at $16 to $$0 in two big volumes. The pages are 16^x11$ inches. There are 832 pages. Lots of maps and sketches, and one big colored map 23x33 inches. People wanted them, but couldn't afford $16 and kept asking for the oid "Harper's Weekly during the I War." After the pictures had been put into th'S big, new, complete his tory, the old Weekly plates were de bt; oyed and now tho^e files are scarce. But the big history was so inter esting, and, being compiled from all the official records, was so com plete and valuable that thousands bought it. Now it is all cut up and everybody is getting it and being surprised. It is made into 26 big parts, 32 big pages in each, and printed on nice supercalendered paper—better than ever before—and has a hand some buff cover with emblematic de sign on each part. The parts have seUl as high as $1 each, but can be got for only 3 cents each if you know how. The pictures alone are worth more than that, but the story and copies of many official documents and state papers of priceless historic value, all go in with the pictures. How!!!? Well, you want to first get part No. 1 and see the table of contents and see that there is ten times as much value as you thought, or even saw before for the money.
