PLE OP THAT STATE TO STOP WORRYING OVER SOUTHERN LYNCH INGS FOR-A WHILE [C ilumbia iS. C.) Suite ] The Northern papers and people con elude that the South Is In a state of barbarism because a lawless mob burns :l negro or a gang of toughs lynches another negro. They do not realise what risk they run of having the sunie logic applied to their section. The Michigan State Industrial School for Girls is being Investigated by n leg? islative committee and some of the wit? nesses tell harrowing tales of the most dreadful cruelty practiced upon the students by the teai hers. As reported in the Chicago Rci rd, one HI tiu- pu? pils, Annabella Eclitlnaw, was given a hot bath, the water being heated from a steam coil in the bottom of the tub. One of the teachers, Miss Oaks, who wns present, described it as follows: The girl cried out: "Are you going to scald me?" She was held sn twenty minutes and on i oming out became unconscious und died within twenty minutes. Miss Oaks said hot baths were a method of punishment. She also testified to holding a girl s hands while Mrs. Sickles gave her twenty live or thirty blows with it rubber tub? ing split Into pieces, She had also seen girls' mouths covered with courtplustcr tor ans wiring back. One of the pupils testified that she had been stripped and given thirty-six lashes with ti ruble r h so as n punish? ment for n remark about one of the teachers. She was black and blue for ri month. The report continues: Mrs. Helen M. Rnbcock, a former housekeeper at the - hool, testified that i he ben tings the girls got were sicken? ing. One Instance she spoke of was that of Bessie Force, who had been Im? pertinent. Mrs. Sil kies tore off her i lothes and gave her thirty blown. . fter she bad I.ti ni a solitary cell Mrs. Bnbcock continued; " 'Why don't y< u cry?' said Mrs. Sickles, when she I'm.shed. B-ssie was as white as a sheet ami trembling. She said: 'I can't cry. Mrs. Sickles.' 'You'll cry or i ll kill you. Take off your clothes,' said Mis. Sickles. Bessie took >fi her clothes. Mrs. Sickles went into another men, and got a trunk s rap about an im h mid a quarter wide. She mad.- Bessie III across a BO fa there In the office and !;.?.'.?? her, very delibe? rately, about letl blows on the naked lim1?-, i could noi i?ar the spectacle, so I stood at a Wind (W and looked out. Bessie was screaming: 'Oh, Mrs. Sick? les, don't kill me! .! n't kill mci" " All of this occurred in a state col? lege for girls in Michigan. As an evi? dence of barbarity it is pretty inclu? sive, but no one will be so foolish as to believe on thai nccounl that Michigan Is not civilized, although the occur? rences certainly .1., not speak well for that State It would s.-em that here Is n fine field for Mrs. Home .nid her Boston CO Inborers who have worked themselves up to such a pitch over Southern bar? barism. One ,,f their own sex is ac? cused of scalding a tender young girl to death: which, to say the least. Is ns barbarous anil cruel as burning a negro man- ? Neither Is to be excused or con? doned, but we should all be careful to avoid drawing general Inferences from exceptional occurrences. FRISCO'S INNOVATION. Its New City Charter Marks the Com? mencement of a New Era in Mu? nicipal Government. (American Land and Title Register.) The Pacific Coast metropolis ' has adopted a new charter, as an outgrowth of the demand by the people for bet? tor city government. Not without its faults, the new plan is interesting, pre-1 sents many radical and striking fea tvres and Is as a whole vastly superior to the cumbersome scheme discarded. The much discussed "referendum" and "Initiative" features are Incorporated in the newly made code, measures feared and denounced by some but ap? plauded by many. A board of super? visors, consisting of eighteen members, elected by citizens at large. Irrespect? ive of wards, for a term of two years at an annual salary of $1,200, takes the place of a council composed of alder? men. In this body the real legislative power 1? vested, the mayor being the presiding officer, meetings take place ? weekly and are public. In general the Interests of the com? munity are surrounded by the most rigid protection. Franchise granting for any public utility involving an amount of more than $50,000 is decided upon by public vote. All books and re? cords are open to Inspection, excepting only police records. Any official who gives or promises to give anything of I value In return for vote.* forfeits otllce | j and is forever disqualified from holding public olllce. The fee system Is entire. I ly abolished in all departments. No ] municipal oflleial may he Interested in; any manner in municipal contracts.: -The tearing up and destruction ot streets is wisely checked by the city performing all work necessary in open? ing streets and removing pavements under the supervision of a competent engineer and collecting the expense from parties for whom the work is un? dertaken. Desired changes in the charter or ad? ditions thereto may be made by 15 per cent of the voting population petition? ing for an election for such purpose, oi '. by vote at a regular election. Non I partisan boards control the library, j schools, fire, police and other branches I of the public service:-H is in these I boards that San Francisco is likely to I experience surprise and disappoint? ment. The student of city g-ivcrnment will be an interested observer of the work? ings of this new and novel municipal machinery which in the main is simple. ; elastic, and fairly bristles with that newness which is gradua ly divorcing ? American cities from potty politics and ring rule. It has been said that spoils? men could combine forces and make mischief through the "initiative" chan? nel, also that rabid socialistic tenden? cies are encouraged by huh the "re? ferendum" and "Inlatlve" features, but the argument does not hold water In either case. The new charter becomes effective with the year 1U0O. LEWIS PATRICK FOUND. NORTH CAROLINA LYNCHERS KILL I1LM WITH BULLETS. (By Telegraph to VlrRtnlan-FIlot? Rnleleh, N. C, June 15.?A special to the News nnd Observer from More head City, N. C, says: Last night about 11 o'clock, near the scene where K. u. Weeks was mur? dered last week.
