The Spread of Lawlessness.
Wfi NOTH that a majority
nf our i ontenipni.il leu
plainly see nnrl s.iy th.it
the venlkt In the Bir
Iter trill anrl the hol conduct of
that trial Is an emphatic rebuke to
thit spirit of lawlessness which claims
the tight of pilvate eiiRe.into to mi
peiferte the law the ?ntne spirit that
brings about every lynching bee of the,
pieat nuinbeis that have rlls.pt m cd the
fair fAme of the t'liltei. State?. It
was such n tehuke, one rlRhteoti'" and
Just, one that should be lepeated In
every case of pilvate vengeance taken
whether by one peison or by "many.
But we tannin shaie the hopefulness
of Mich of these i ontenipomrlesi us
have dlcoeierl In It "a stronc ttend
of public fpellne nR.iinnt lynchlnrj."
There have been dispatcher telllnB of
"attempts to take prisoneis fioni the
Fherlff to exeeute niiniinaiy retrihu
t'on" for iilme t hat Red. from moie
than one s-tite sliue ty Barker tilat.
Iii at least one Instance the dispatch
came from a Pennsylvania town. In
VlrRinla a negin who In self defence
shot two members of the mob that
was trvlnp to lynch him on an accu
sation of crime committed It an
nounced In the dispatches and. what
ir. worse, in the headlines of northern
new spa pet s as having "murdered"
those two ould-be-muri1erf:'. and
the dispatch closes by saying that In
dlsnatlon inns high." "Indignation"
that lynchers should meet death at the
hands of the man they were striving
tri murder not at their murdeious and
lawless proceedings.
Alabama Is one nf the southern
states at present holding a constitu
tional convention. On June 2.1 the con
vention had under consideration a
proposed clause to make a sheriff lia
ble to mpearhment "who through ne
glect, connivance or cowatdlce shall
penult a pilsnner to be taken fiom his
rustody nnd lvnched " In the tourse
oi the discussion ex-Governor Jones
r:ernred. tint 'within the past ten
ears 127 citizens of Alabama had been
l.vncherl and thit two-thlids of these
1-erfons v.eie not guilty of the charges
epainst them " "This lynching bust
nrsn," he added, "has grown In AU
l'.ima until it- has become a common
thing for prisons to be shot down for
petty rrime.V nnd that "two-thirds of
these lynchlncs were due to the cow
irrlke of the yhoilffs 0i their vvllllng
ners for mcbi to take prisoners fiom
them" "Why should not a sheriff die
nt his post as well as a locomotive
engineer''-' Why not, Indeed?
There hive been two or tluee caes
reported from the South lerently
where a shetllf has had the courage
rriniblne-1 with a sense of his ofllclal
duty to defy the mob of vvould-be-lvnchers
In one case the militia hav
ing determinedly performed suih a
duty. These cases, and ex-Oovernor
Jones' utterances are hopeful signs of
ar. awakening to some degree of a
law-abiding spirit. On the other hand
comes the letttrn lately made to a
Louisiana couit by a grand Jury that
really had been tiylng to And an in
dictment in a lynching case. "Wo are
unable to obtain even the name of
one member of the mob, and conse
quently found It Impossible to frame
nnv indictment, In spite of our stienu
otis effnits"That is, an entire com
munlty had made itself "accessory af
ter thet"-.!p the murder, and de
termine!)) to shield every actual par
tlrlpator in It.
Says j. Philadelphia paper comment
ing on jjils very case, "in the past ten
years IVnchlngs . hPve exceeded the
legal executions by several hundred."
As ex-Governor Jones said of the 127
nf these In his own state "two-thirds
of thestfpeisons were not guilty of the
charges, against them," and a great
many were charged simply with "pet
ty crimes." The spirit of murder and
lawlessness 'grows more rampant with
every successful defiance of law, every
unpunished Individual or organized
"taking of the, law Into pilvate hands.
No country hiit America is ctused with
It. It is this same, splilt which organ

University Extension Todny.
"U
NIVKRSITV extension,"
so earnestly titged n few
yeats ago as n method
of bringing the higher
education to busy people who had
never taken university or collegiate
course, after a good many "ttpi nnd
downs" nnd a fallute or rejection of It
In many places, has, It nppeaif, of
late set Itself to more practical work.
That Is, to practical sanitary and man
ual Instruction work among the poor.
It keeps its oiiglnal title to which,
so long as what It is aiming to do and
Is doing Is understood, there Is no
especial call for any one to object.
"Universities," by their very name, are
entitled to teach every branch of learn
ing that can be of ue to mankind In
Its upward progiess.
There r. a gieat many persons who
never took any slock to use a well
u .Vistood phrase In the "move
ment's" early attempts to teach polit
ical economy, history, llteiature nnd
science as It develops, by means of six
lecture courses and appended ques
tions' for answer on the final pages of
Its "Hjilibl," who will take satisfaction
In its new depaituie. We quote p-irt
of an abstiact glcn bv a New York
paper of the third annual repoit. Just
printed, of "the People's I 'nlverslty
Extension society." The report otates
t lint the society tlnds n gt owing inter
est among the poor in its educational
classes. It sas that one of the most
Important blanches of Its work now
Is the teaching of motheis how to
i are for their chlldien so ns to pre
vent disease. The society has "a staff
of physicians who give lectures on this
subject with piactlcal instturtlon in
various churches, missions, and day
nuseiles, also In nt least two public
schools" for such "mothereV meetings,"
wheie after schools houis such teach
ings will be given by the society's staff
of physicians.
For the children the society has or
ganized manual tt.ilnlng. That Is. It
has started In on a. most Important
part of the training of children that
the public pchonls In nlmovt every pait
of the couimy still peislstently nnrl
mischievously Ignoic. The lopoit
spraks of the "enthusiasm" shown by
the children of these classes. Hasket
weaving, chair caning, Venetian Iron
work, ate mentioned as especially pop
ular among the bos. The clashes in
cooking, sewing and diessmaKIng at
tract not only the gills, but their
mothers, to an extent that causes the
soi lety to appeal for more funds to
Kiipply a larger number of teachets.
It has not been found neeessaiy un
der this row depaittire of "university
extension" to go in t-eateh of pupils.

A Paying Experiment.
THI3 commercial value nf the
step which the I'lilted States
took when It demanded that
Spain should get out of
Cul a or be put out Is not yet fully
appaiont ai.d cannot be until the new
conditions have had time to woik
themselves out; but some ilguies com
plied lecently by Walter J. Italian!, of
Schenectady. N. Y., aie Instinctive ns
Indicating that Cuban Intervention wan
not all lot-s from the American dollar
standpoint.
Wiltes Mr Ballaid to the New Yoil;
Sun. "We have held Cuba as ttustrcs
for twentv-seven months, and during
that period she has imported $lfi2,noo,OnO
woith of goods, of which $7.1,000,000 were
bought In the I'lilted States, Her cx
poits dining the same peiiud hap been
Hlfi.ono.0ii0. of which we piiichased in
the ten months ending Apt 11, 1801, the
laige propoitlon of $31,000,000. In these
calculations we mut not loe sight of
the fact that for the that year of
American occupation Cuba was still
suifeilng seilous tiade distill bance and
partial paialysls. as a natural conse
quence of the Spanish-American war of
Cuban fieedom and the pi lor jeais of
Insurrection against Spanish oppies
slon." In KOS. the year of the war, the ex
ports fioin this count ly to Cuba footed
up S9..V.l.fiSii. In the next year the sum
had almost doubled, being for IS'A $1S,.
filfi.377. In 1000 it had risen to $215.31.1,.
400, and for the ten months ending last
April It was $21,551,631. Two ears ago
the balance of trade between Cuba nnd
the u oi lil was against Cuba by more
than $20,000,000 a ear. That Is. Cuba
bought that much moie than -he sold.
Vet for the Hrst matter of the pies
ent .ear, so qule'.iy has she. lecuper
ated, the balancu of trade Is In her
favor by $3,721,000. Such wondeiful de
velopment Is prophetic of a day when
Ameilcan trade with Cuba will be In
expiesslbly valuable.

i
Poison Ivy.
FOR MANY years, with nn In
crease of the agonies caused
by It to gieat numbers of
people eicu summer, the
poison-Ivy has been allowed to spread
itself luxuilantly nil over this country.
Woods and groves, countty highways,
where It ciovvds and climbs along
fences literally foi'inllea, cairy poison
to nearly every perunn who unwarily
touches it, to a great number who
do not oven touch It, but to whom the
breath of tho wind blowing to them
from over It carries Its malello Inllu
ence. I: looks so much llko the, wood
bine that It Is continually being mis
taken for It.
Tho scientists of the agricultural
department and all the other wise men
who are so strenuously busy In eradi
cating the mosquito, had better set
themselves to the eradication of this
far mote noxious pest of the vege
table kingdom. Once In awhile some
newspaper makes a sporadic effort to
rouse the attention of the public and
of the scientific men to the rapid
npi end of this virulently poisonous
lne. Such nn effort was made by
some Philadelphia papers two or three
years ago, as the nuisance spread It
self mile after mile along the roads
leading through the most beautiful
submba of that city. Now Chicago
papeis duonlclc a similar state of nf
falls theie.
If almost an entlte leglmcnt of the
National Guard of any state, while In
camp, wore to bo made helpless by a,
midden seizure of typhoid or malarial
fever the country would have had a
spasm of Indignation over the allowing
of conditions that had biought such a
result to piss. Hut tho dispatch noting
that "nearly a whole tcglment of New
York mllltla has been tendered almost
helpless by coming In contact with the
"rhui toxlcodondion" that Is, the.
poison Ivy Is scatcely noticed.
The ivy poison spreads all over the
body. It gives the unfortunate suf
ferer often from, two to six weeks of
almost Intolerable anguish. It Is quite
as likely, ns scarlet fever Is well known
to be, to leave blindness or some other
Incuinblc trouble behind It. All of
these things are perfectly well Known
to physicians nnd to scientific men. Yet
nether the scientists, nor tho owners
of fatm lands and country pleasuie
grounds, nor local authorities of any
place tr.it has so far been heard from,
have taken the trouble to do anything
tow aids lessening the evil. Will the
Agilcultmal Department, the Academy
of Natural Sciences, and the other sci
entific bodies of the land bestir them
selves In that dlicctlon?
With the opening of July the revised
iutei national money order system be
tween this count i y nnd Canada, nnd
between the UnltedStatesnnd Its Island
dependencies, has gone Into effect. At
all postoillces In any of these countries
orders may bedrawnon nny postmaster
in such eountiles or any post oillce any
wheie else In tho eountiles named.
The lil the i to existent troublesome
system for sending money otdcrs fiom
one of these eountiles to another is
abolished, also the extrn charges tho
tegular domctlc rates on money ordeis
hip to lule hencefoith. This Is a
decided Impiovemcnt In postal business
methods.
It is better not to fight the hot
weather. The poison who generally
stands the heat best keeps quiet and
lets the elements sizzle.
Hotel business at Buffalo appeals to
be moie profitable than banking.
This is what may be termed "oldest
Inhabitant weather."

Tribune, to assut In l'i)ing this expense.
Here is an opportunity for some ambitious young people to
earn the best college education without a great amount of effort,
and it is an opportunity that may never be repeated. The Trib
une may find the returns much less than the expense and would
then be unable to again make such generous offers. Such a con
dition will be The Tribune's loss and the contestants' gain.
There are many young men, and young women, too, who
would be glad of an opportunity to "work their way through col
lege," in fact, the presidents of these institutions are deluged with
applications for chances of this kind. Here the work for an entire
course of four years can all be accomplished in three short months,
and an education that would cost in cash '$i,ooo is assured with
out further outlay. Parents should urge their boys and girls to
enter the contest and work (or one of the special rewards. One
of the eight is within the reach of everyone who really tries.
Send a letter to The Tribune for full particulars, including
handsomely illustrated booklet. Address,
