MOB LAW IN GEORGIA.
The recent lynchings in Georgia are enough to
make one's blood boil with indignation. The hor
rid details are scarcely fit matter to appear la pub
ic print. The victims of mob vengeance la that
country are principally colored men, which is a ens
picious circumstance. Kace prejudice la that section
s doubtless strong, and much allowance must be
made for the fact that such prejudice has been a
natural growth for many generations. Yet no de
gree of prejudice can excuse the almost unparalleled
inhumanity shown by the recent mobs in Georgia.
Law is the basis and should be the guaranty of
good society. Such outbreaks as these tend to the
subversion of all law. Communities delegate their
law-making powers to, their legislatures. These
enact the laws for the commoirwealth and officers
are provided to execute those laws. Then why
should the people, after delegating away their law
making power, and that power having made the
laws to cover every case of crime, and having ap
pointed officers to carry into effect those laws, take
the law into their own hands to execute without
even the form of trial? This is foolishness. It is
puerility. In the instances mentioned above it is
nothing but "pure cussedness" and while we do not
seek to condone, for a single moment, the crimes of
any one white or black, we do plead for a cessation
of such outrages in the name of' our common hu
manity if for no higher reason. These things arc
more than mob violence Their inevitable tendency
is to anarchy. We wish that it might be found to
have a federal aspect so that the government at
Washington might deal with it as it deserves.
Yesterday a severe wind storm with some
rain passed over this section. Last night an elec
trical storm with rain made music nearly all night
and today as we go to press rain falls in torrents.
It is now officially stated that the March ex
ports of manufactures from this country surpass all
previous records. Just think of it! And this under
nrnrortinn and 'the cold ' standard! What is
this country coming to?

t May. 1st was "Dewey Day." How wui we
'manage about the "Glorious Fourth" when the
, edict is passed to make July 3d "Schley and Samp
son Day?" Then what -about Shafter, Wheeler,
Miles, but stop most of these fellows have already
had their day.
We know nothing about Huron county'along
thi9 line, but the county (Hancock) in Indiana in
which Greenfield is located has been overwhelm'
ingly democratic from "time immemorial." The
number of indictments by the grand jury of former
public officials is no wonder to us.
At Greenfield, Indiana, the grand jury is
stated to have returned 991 indictments against
former public officials for extortion, embezzlement,
bribery, perjury and a choice catalogue of other
misdeeds. A thorough investigation of some of
the methods of the Huron county court house ring
might result in the discovery of a few such also.

Mr. Woodley Brugler, recently of
Columbia, N. J., but now of Welling
ton, hat patented a device which he
has named "Brugler'i Bail Joint Sup
port," a device for the use of railroads,
concerning which the Scientific Ameri
can hai the following:
"The illustrations lepresent a sup
port for railway rails at their joints,
designed to prevent the ends of the
rails from becoming battered, and
thus adding to the life of the rolling
stock. The fish plates are of the an
gled type, engaging the web and flange
of the rail, and the fish plates are sup
ported upon a bearing plate which ex
tends from one tie to the other beneath
the joint, the same spikes holding the
fish plates, rails and bearing plates in
position on the ties. To strengthen
the bearing plate, however, an arch
support is provided, extending between
the ties, the support having the inte
gral end plates which bear against the
sides of ties as well as against the un
der sides of the bearing plate, white
the central portion of the arch bears
The Cleveland Leader got out its pencil the other
day and figured out the reason why the American
soldiers could not keep pace with the Filipinos
Every ten miles the U. S. soldier carries ten tons
more weight than the Filipino soldier, because the
latter goes barefoot while the former wears two
shoes weighing a pound apiece. We never thought
of this before, but now our attention being called
that way no doubt that is the solution.
JINGOISM VS. IMPERIALISM.
Something over a year ago many men in congress
and in the country at large were criticising the hes
itancy of the chief executive to engage in a foreign
war. Thev swuner their arms, frothed at the
mouth and gesticulated frantically, doing all in
their power to turn the country into the arena of
war. When, at last, the president found that war
was inevitable, he made what suitable preparations
he could for it in the limited time at his command,
and once being fairly launched upon his course, he
pursued commendable military tactics to bring the
war to a speedy and successful issue. He struck
Spain a back-handed blow in the Philippines which
crippled her in her naval arm to such an extent
that her Pacific squadron was quite unequal to the
task of affording assistance to her Atlantic squad
ron in Santiago. Now, by due course of peace ne
gotiations and settlements on the part of the bellig
erent powers, the Philippines having become a le
gitimate possession and dependency of the United
States, and their people having risen in open revolt
and having established an armed insurrection to try
to overthrow the authority of the United States in
the islands, and the administration having taken
the only course open to it by using armed force to
auell a rebellion within its own territory, now
1 er -
comes the cry from these same jingoes, "Imperial
ism." This forcibly reminds us that there are left
some of the legitimate descendents of a class of
people who flourished in this country from 1861 to
1865, familiarly known as "copperheads." They
were a class of men who were opposed to the war
for the Union and did all they could to obstruct and
embarrass the government in its conduct of the war
Once thev met in a national convention at the
city of Chicago and solemnly declared the war a
failure! That was in 1864 when Grant and Sher
man were literally pounding the "stuffing" out of
the Confederacy! One of the above mentioned cop
perheads afterwards became Vice President of the
United States under Cleveland's first term! Another
became so offensive that Lincoln passed him across
the lines into the Confederate army where he prop
erly belonged. That man afterwards came within
something like 100,000 votes of being governor ot
Ohio. One good thing we can say of both these
men today: they are dead. But their mantles have
fallen'upon worthy successors and it may be that
the administration may yet be constrained to take
heroic measures with them as Lincoln did with
Vallandingham during the civil war. They de
serve such treatment for their conduct is no less
than T r e a s 0 n.
Municipal ownership of public utilities should
be accompanied in every case by civil service rules.
There should be some reliable tenure of office rule
for the benefit of employes, to make the municipal
ownership effective. Where the employes of a city
are at the mercy of the politicians, and are liable to
be switched off the track at the next election, there
will not be that incentive to become proficient in
their work that there would be with a "during
good behavior" plan in operation.
Missouri draws first blood on the trusts. In a
recent suit of the National Lead Co. to collect a
bill of $1700 against the St. Louis Paint Company,
the judge presiding in the case decided that the
bill is non-collectible under the law. We learn
that New York's legislature has also done some
thing along the same line as far as the law-making
is concerned, and let all the legislatures which con
vene the coming winter, especially that of Ohio,
follow suit This is the way to hit the trusts right
on the "solar plexus."
The Big Four of Ohio Republican factionists,
Bushnell, Foraker, Kurtz, and McKisson, were all
in Columbus one day week before last "on bnsiness".
It was only a coincidence that they happened (?)
to be there on the same day, and of course, having
so much "private business" to attend to, it was
absolutely out of the question to talk over political
affairs of the state or to fix upon a gubernatorial
candidate who would be sure to antagonize the
present administration, consequently, as the yellow
kid journals say: "they didn't do a thing", la,

BOW THE BAIL JOINT 18 USED.
directly against the under side of the
bearing platd. The arch is strongly
made, so that it will not spread under
pressure, a cross bar connecting the
ends of the arch at the bottom, and the
rails being thus supported to form a
continuous, even tread surface at the
joints."
It is made without bolt or nut. It
forms a perfect bridge under the joint
so that it is impossible for one rail to
be driven below the level of the other
by the heaviest rolling stock. This in
vention will not let the rails drop and
in that way more than saves all extra
cost. Track men say that with this sup
port two or three men can be taken cff
each section, as half the time of sec
tion men is now spent in raising joints.
There ii no spring In this Invention
all the elasticity necessary coming
from the road bed, the rail support be'
ing no more rigid than the track Itself,
Mr. Brugler has this invention pat
ented not only in this country, but in
four others, Canada, Germany, Eng
land and France.
The one on trial here is placed near
the Mtiygar street crossing of the Big
Four railroad. This was done at the
request of Mr. M. E. Ingalis, president
of the road, who is taking considerable
interest in the invention and promised
Mr. Brugler that in the event of its
proving satisfactory, hii road would
adopt it on their entire system.
We hope Wellington people may be
come sufficiently interested in this
matter, that In case It proves a success
the manufacture of the article may be
secured for this point. Let no oppor
tunity of this kind pass without an ef
fort to improve It.

THE STARR-NICHOLS FIRE.
Gasoline) Stove Keeping House date
Frisky In He Solitude-Horse Escapee
from llmrn Stove Tries to follow Bolt,
bat goes to the Wall Instead.
About 6:00 on Wednesday last, Jay
Starr, son of E. A. Starr, who occupies
the Nichols property on Barker street
was in tha act of heating some water
on a gasoline stove in the summer
kitchen of the house. He had been
left to keep house two or three days,
his parents having gone to Cleveland,
During the process of water heating
Mr. Starr's horse escaped from the
barn near by and Jay, after turning off
the fire, started in pursuit. He had
not got far beyond the railroad north
of the premises when he heard the
fire alarm, and on looking town ward
saw his own home on fire. On arriv
ing at home he found, ai he suppose!
that there had been an explosion, as
the gasoline tank was discovered
some distance from the stove and ev
eral of the tubes of the stove were dis
connected or blown away.
The Are department were soon at
work, though the two or three men
already on the ground with bucket!
would have had the flames subdued
An unfortunate circumstance of the
affair is the ruination of furniture,
painting! and papering on walls and
ceilings by smoke throughout the en
tire house, although the flames were
mostly confined to the summer part of
the house. Unless it sheuld transpire
that Mrs. Nichols had Insurance on the
house to enable her to repair, it will
become necessary for Mr. Starr and
family to seek other lodgings.
The damage to hii furniture, cloth
ing, painting! and other thing! he es
ti mates roughly at $200, without
cent of insurance. Mr, Starr had al
ways kept his property insured until
moving to town, and had thought of
seeking an agent on Monday morning
before going to Cleveland, but waa
somewhat pressed for time to make
his train, 10 he let the matter go over
as "unfinished business."
The moral to all this ii: Look op
your iniuranoe poliotei to see if they
are in force and don't allow them to
expire without renewal, Inasmuch as
fire "cometh in such an hour as ys
think not".

Ul READY TO BUILD.
The I. M O. Deslrious of Extending to
Oberlln and Wellington.
Lorain desires an electric railway to
North Amherst just aa it desires any
fhrag that will tend to build up the
bnsiness or the general importance of
the city. The railway to North' Am
herst alone would Ibe of some value to
the city, to the farmers on the road,
and to ithe people of that village. But
a line to Oberlln and Wellington and
electric connections wWh Norwalk and
other towns would be of much, greater
value. These connection with all their
commercial and social advantages are
offered by the L. A. C. line to foe built
if the city council grants the franchise
now before that body.
In an Interview with J. B. floge upon
this subject he said the L. oV C. com
pany are In earnest about its construc
tion. If the franchise is granted the
line will surely be (built. The money is
ready for Its construction, itlhe road
wants the traffic, and there is no ques
tion about its being built. The origi
nal plan was to build tfliat line from
Oak Point south, but it is now settled
that the Washington and Dexter street
route will be followed if the city does
its part. '
The Times is pleased to give this pos
itlve assurance from one of the officers
of the road. Lorain Times.
