A CONTRAST.
A muoh-needed lesson of decency and
forbearance Is furnished by Prof. Booker
T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute,
to those who are intent on making politi
cal capital out of the recent Georgia
lynchings. Prof. Washington is univers
ally regarded as one of the ablest men
of his race on this continent. Speak
ing of the immediate occasion for the
t break on the part of the mob.
Prof. Washington talks in this sensible
language;
The solution of our present difficulties
is to lie found in the thorough mental, re
ligious and industrial education of both
races in the South. It Is an encouraging
fact to note that of the hundreds of col
ored men who have been educated in the
higher institutions in the South not one
lias been guilty of the crime of assault
ing a woman.
That, too, Is as far as he Is willing to
go iii the consideration of the unfortunate
occurence.
What a contrast is presented by this
moderation to the frothy and incendiary
words of Hob Ingersoll, a man who is on
constant warfare with the most cherish
ed traditions of his race, whose only re
lation to Christianity Is that of a pro
fessional assailant. The views of this
chronic sensationalist have been set out
at length in the press dispatches. He
closes his expression of them by asking:
"Has the I'nited States no power to pro
tect a citizen?" and he proceeds to avoid
a rational answer to his own query by
p.ddint;: "A nation that cannot or will
not protect its citizens in time of peace
has no right to ask Its citizens to pro
tret it in time of war."
The man who speaks these words knows
as well as any man can know anything
that the United States has nothing what
ever to do with this transaction, and
never can have. He cannot plead ignor
ance since the man qualified to speak for
the United States in such a contingency
has made that much plain within a few
days.
No; the United States cannot protect
Its citizens In the direction Indicated by
Ingersoll. If It could, It would not have
t> :i a wholly unnecessary proceeding.
If It had long ago undertaken their pro
tection against the blasphemous diatribes
of tliis dangerous demagogue.
WHO WIU BE COl RT-MARTIALEDf
The embalmed beef inquiry has been
brought to a close. The decision has not
yet been rendered publicly. But two little
straws have been observed floating along
the turbid current side by side with the
receptacles: of discarded canned roast
beef which show the direction in which
the official mind in the war department
Is tending. These are the fact that the
representative of the department before
the board closed his case without argu
ment, and the other fact that Gen. Miles
Is already on tho war path against the
board and its probable findings.
The '"major general commanding" has
permitted himself to be interviewed, as
these columns showed some days ago.
And tho burden of his speech is that
somebody will be court-martialed, and it
will not be he. The average newspaper
reader is generally disposed to think that
Miles has made out a pretty strong case.
How strong, it would not be possible to
Bay with accuracy, without some knowl
edge at least as to how the beef contracts
were let, and who were the interme
diaries between the head of the war de
partment and the packers. Gen. Miles,
however, seems quite satisfied that there
will be another touching exonsi-ation of
all concerned except himself. Hence his
mind naturally reverts to the process of
court-martial.
The commanding general should not ex
pect too much. According to the view
taken by "the Judge advocate generals
office and other authorities on military
law," it is Gen. Miles who is on trial, and
all talk of court-martial Is idle which
has not immediate and exclusive refer
ence to himself. From all the indications.
then, the major general commanding may
consider himself a very fortunate person
age If he succeeds in escaping court
martial for his temerity in making a
venthole for the escape of the odors of
the embalmed beef.
a»
TOO DECENT A MAN.
The oracles of the administration are
greatly Intent on making it appear that
Thomas B. Reed has decided to retire
from public life purely out of a desire to
secure a greatly increased Income. Fairy
stories are in circulation of the tremen
dous income which he Is assured of by
reason of his established connection with
a New York law firm. And there are ex
pressions of great regret heard coming
from the clique whose operations are
the real cause of Mr. Reed's retirement.
Speaker Reed's income has been all
that he and his family desire. He has so
stated himself repeatedly. His position
in congress, which is assured to him In
definitely, is, too, more acceptable to him
than any position, no matter how lucra
tive, that might be placed at his disposal
in private life. So frequent have Mr.
Reed's statements in this regard been
that the fact has been universally rec
ognized in Washington society.
Why, then, did Mr. Reed retire from
his position In congress? The question
is easily answered. His decision was
reached because he was unwilling to re
r.iain associated with, or, In any manner,
even nominally, responsible for the opera
tions of those who are conducting the af
fairs of this nation In the name of the
people of the United States. He was, as
speaker, the second officer in point of
importance in the federal system. He
could not save himself from partaking
of tha public condemnation which is cer
tain, sooner or later, to be .visited on
that administration by reason of the dis
graceful character and operations of its
leading representatives. Strong and re
sourceful as he has shown himself to be,
he could not hope to continue to stem the
tide of jobbery that has set in in the
effectuation of those men's operations.
He is a clean-handed man. He is above
all personal reproach in his official ac
tions. He desired to so continue in the
estimation of his countrymen. He would
never constitute himself the apologist of
such a crowd. He could see no oppor
tunity to combat their influence with any
hope of success within his own party.
They tried to drive him out. When he
had stayed long enough to virtually dem
onstrate to them that they could not, he
went.
It should be a matter of grave concern
to the people of the United States when
as pre-eminently able and upright a man
as Mr. Reecl finds it inconsistent with his
own sense of public and private decency
to remain associated with the men of his
own party who have been put in charge
of their national concerns.
AN EXTRAORDINARY ATTITUDE.
Some months ago an Indictment was
found In this county against Andrew P.
Swanstrom, then and now first assistant
In the office of County Treasurer Arosin,
charging him with grand larceny In the
first degree. Yesterday another grand
jury found an additional indictment
against the same gentlemen on a charge
of perjury. The transactions out of
which both indictments have grown re
late to a system of insurance, said to be
fraudulent, In the conduct of which
Swanstrom was associated with "Bishop"
Ginner, now awaiting trial in the county
jail.
As the result of the alleged falsification
of the election returns from certain pre
cincts in the Fourth ward of this city In
the last election, George Coulter, a clerk
in the office of the register of deeds, was
indicted. All of these Indictments are
still operative, none of the accused
men having been brought to trial.
In the Coulter case, Register of Deeds
Krahmer at once suspended his clerk
from office pending the action of the
criminal authorities on the charge.
County Treasurer Arosin has not thought
proper to take similar action, or, Indeed,
any action whatever regarding the
charges brought against his deputy.
Either Mr. Arosin has exceptional
confidence in his deputy, or he
has very little regard for the decencies
of official station. In permitting Swan
strom to retain his position with an in
dictment for larceny pending against
him Mr. Arosin seems to us to have vio
lated a first principle of official respon
sibility. This Is true, no matter how
close his relations with his deputy may
be or how great his confidence in that
deputy's Innocence. •
The Globe has no desire to prejudge
any of these cases. It calls attention
to them only because of the extraordi
nary attitude which the treasurer of this
county chooses to occupy toward the pub
lic sense of the community.

FINAL, ORDER FAULTY.
New One Necessary for raving a
Block on Tenth Street.
The board of public works yesterday
rejected the specifications prepared by
the city engineer for the paving of Tenth
street, from St. Peter to Rice, and sent
the final order back to the council, with
the request that a new one be prepared.
The board claims that a recent opinion
of the legal department of the city is to
to the effect that a final order can con
tain only one proposition, and the one or
dering the street paved provides eithor
with asphalt or brick it was of no force.
The new order will ask for brick pave
ment on the strip used by the street car
company where granite "will ba used.
The brick pavement between the points
mentioned will cost $4,125.
The Warren-Scharff company were also
notified that on a number of the asphalt
paved streets on the hill the pavement
was In such a condition that extensive
repairs will have to be made at the ex
pense of the company. The total amount
of pavement where repairs will, have to
be made is in the neighborhood of 6,000
square yards.
LOOKING FOR TROTTERS.
A Representative of the Dubnqae

Mr. Baldwin went out to the fair
grounds and told the fifteen or more

SHOT IN HIS CELL.
Miss Lacaze, of Louisiana, Shoots
Her Betrayer in Prison.
NEW ORLEANS, La., April 28.— W. B.
Harrington, a good-looking, well-edu
cated young man, who came to Lees
vllle, this state, from Kentucky, where
he Is said to be highly connected, lies
in a dying condition at that place with
a bullet in his left breast, fired by a
woman.
Harrington was arrested about a month
ago on the charge of criminally assault
ing Miss Mary Lacaze, daughter of Jo
seph Lacaze, one of the most prominent
citizens of Vernon parish. As there was
strong talk of lynching he was trans
ferred to Many, in the adjoining parish
of Sabine. He was returned to Leesvllle
for trial, court opening here today.
Negotiations had been In progress to
compromise matters by Harrington mar
rying Miss Lacaze, and she visited the
jail yesterday with a view. It was sup
posed, to make the final arrangements.
Before being allowed to see the prisoner
she was searched by the sheriff, but no
weapon found. On entering Harrington's
cell, she suddenly drew a revolver from
her bosom, exclaiming dramatically:
"I've come to kill you." With this sne
opened fire. Her first shot missed, but
the second went true, the ball striking
her victim In the breast, penetrating the
left lung. His death is only a question
of hours.
Miss Lacaze was arrested and placed
in jail. Her family has many friends in
Vernon parish and they threaten to res
cue her. The sheriff has an armed force
of deputies guarding the jail.
PLAYING . aTrEBELLION.
United Stated. .Officials Promised
Death Should They Interfere.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 28.— Word
has reached E. R. Durham, United States
marshal, that the farmers who are In
sympathy with the.fiugitlve judges of St.
Clair county have a party 500
strong, which is pledged to escort the
three judges into: Oaceola on May 1, when
the county court .must meet and levy
taxes, and the mob will shoot down any
United States marshal or deputy who at
tempts to serve qan- attachment paper en
any of the judges.
It is understood that the farmerß are to
surround the court house after tho
judges have taken their place inside and
prevent with their guns the entrance of
any one else.
In order to make the tax levy binding
it is necessary that the judges hold their
meeting in the court house, otherwise
they would probably get together in some
secluded farm house, with the county
clerk and sheriff, who are in sympathy
with them.
In spite of this threat of an organized
gang Marshal Durham and a force of
deputies will be on hand May 1 to serve
attachments that have been issued by the
United States court. The federal court
here some weeks ago ordered the judges
to appear and show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt fop
refusing to make a levy to cover tKe
famous railroad bonds. Deputies have
been trying in vain ever since to serve
the order, the Judges taking to the brusti.
Dozens of St. Clair county judges have
gone to jail during the last twenty years
for refusing to levy taxes to pay the old
bond issue.

GERMANS BETTER PLEASED.
Believe Americana Have Come Over
to Their Side In Samoa.
BERLIN, April 28.— The newspapers
here, commenting today on the latest
news from Samoa, express satisfaction
with the attitude of Admiral Kaut2, U.
S. N., interpreting it as a sign that the
United States government will henceforth
side with Germany in the Samoan ques
tion. The Boerson Courier saya that
the American admiral's position may Indi
cate how differently the Americans and
the English in Samoa Interpret instruc
tions received simultaneously.
It Is believed here that an understand
ing has been reached between the gov
ernments of the United States and Ger
many, not only as to the relations In
Samoa, but in regard to other portions
of the world as well. Some of the Ber
lin newspapers today condemn a speech
made recently by the United States con
sul at Amsterdam, Mr. George C. Corey,
in which it was said that from the year
1868 Prince Bismarck had been constant
ly scheming to seize Holland. The North
German Gazette, commenting on this as~
sertlon, says that the United States seems
to pick out singular specimens of man
kind for diplomatic posts.
GERMANY PROTESTS.
Wants France to Wind Up the Agi
tation In the Dreyfus Case.
LONDON, April 28.— Ernest Vizetelly
says that the German government has
addressed an expostulatory note to the
French government regarding the Drey
fus caee. This note was recently pre
sented to M. Delcasse, the French minis
ter of foreign affairs, by Count yon Mun
ster, the German ambassador to Franco,
and deals with the proceedings before the
court of cassation, as published In the
Figaro, and which, the note says, sur
prised and pained the German govern
ment. The note, atfeordlng tp Vizetelly,
intimated that in certain eventualities it
would be impossible for the German gov
ernment to refrain from officially pub
lishing the facts, in justice to its own
officers, who have repeatedly solicited
permission to speak. The note urged In
forcible terms the desirability, in the In
terests of both countries, of a speedy con
clusion of the present agitation.
Mr. Viztelly learns that eighteen of the
judges of the court of cassation are In
favor of, and fifteen opposed to revision
of the ©reyfua case. It is probable, Mr.
Vizetelly adds, that on a full vote of the
judges of the united court of cassation
the revisionists will have a majority of
eight.
ANGLO-SAXON BROTHERHOOD.
What Mr. Robert P. Porter Had to
Say of It.
LONDON, April 28.— Robert P. Porter,
who was the principal gue3t of the White
toast "The Anglo-Saxon Brotherhood,"
dwelt upon the ever increasing commer
cial ties between the United States to
Great Britain, ties which, he said, would
be "still further improved by the faot
that the tariffs for Americas new depen
dencies would be patterned after Eng
land's open door."
In the course of his remarks Mr. Por
ter said that during his recent visit to
Germany he had tried to make It under
stood that Germany could profit, as well
as England, by manufacturing American
raw material. In this connection he ob
served that, despite recent events, the
United States was "in close sympathy"
with Germany.

American Government.
KINGSTON, Jamaica. April 28.— Public
anxiety over the government's refusal to

resentatlves with the necessity of mak
ing their stand for reciprocity when con

ATTACK GEN. GOMEZ.
Havana Paper* Refer to Him aa m
Traitor to Cuban Cauae.
HAVANA, April 28.— Tho attitude of
Gen. Maximo Gomez towards the "Inter
vening power" as he calls the United
States, causes a lively controversy among
politicians here end even among his
friends. La Discussion and HI Reconcen
trado treat him as an ally of the United
States, and refer to him as a "traitor to
the causa of Cuban Independence.' La
Lucha and La Patrla view him as a con
slßtent leader of the Cuban people. From
time to time copies of hia private corres
pondence, embodying allusions to public
huenless are supplied to tho press and af
ford material for speculation and argu
ment regarding his real position and hl3
Intentions. For instance, one of the
papers today publishes extracts from a
letter Gomez recently wrote to Doldolfo
Mendea, of Merida, Youcatan, In tho
course of which he said:
"My energy, my strength and all my
prestige I am giving here In my devotion
to tha cause of Independence for this
heroic country, and I devote myself es
pecially to the labor in concert with the
provisional government which attends
and serves the country."
A member of his household has given
the following explanation of the position
of Gomez:
"Of course, Gen. Gomez continues to
favor, as he always has favored, ultimate
Independence, but he considers a period
of American control as a logical prepar
ation for that independence. Therefore,
ho wishes to co-operate with the Ameri
cans, without reservation, in disbanding
the troops and in quieting and recon
structing the country. He cannot tell
how long this period shall be, but he
would Bhortly have Issued a statement
declaring his formal support of the Amer
severe attacks upon his views had not
been made."
The report that Gen. Gomoz is drawing
up a proposal for that organisation of
Cuban militia 13 not verified by him.
