Ilete and tbete in the Ninth, as In the South, theie are poi sons of strong Sectional prejudice, who cannot get over the habit of look ing upon the people of the once oppo site section as In somehow yet public tnemlcs; but Ibis Is ery exceptional In tho North. Hete the gteat body of people abhor lynching, not becntise It happens most fieuuently In the- South, but bemuse It happens nt alt, nnd also because, In the majority of Southern uiscs. It is the Index of feeling of racial antipathy that woiik to In- glow ing nioie ciuel and dangeious yc.it by jear and that scattcis Its evils wlde sptead We hae not at hand the llguies from which might be leal tied what pel cent age of negioes inhabiting Northern states me l.Mubcd, so as to con trast It with the percentage of negioes lynched In the South.

"He did not," was the sena tor's icply. "Dlil ho hreuk any pledge to your fr'lsnds?" the senator was then asked, and he replied as befoie: "He did not." This Is Interesting and fair as a matter of political history, especially In view of the ilalm by soni" of Kllnn's former followers that Kllnn was gold-bilcked. The governor of Pennsylvania Is a man who keeps his woid. Students ot Cuba's newly dintloil constitution have discovered thnt no ptovhlon is made to guarantee flee ttadc between the ptovlnces nor be tween dlffetent cities of the same prov ince. Thus it might, It Is pointed out. come about that all lommerclal nnd icclprocal tleatles between the I'nlted Slat's and the republic of Cuba ootlld be pi actually nullified by piovlnclnl legislation on the pan of Cuba. The omission Is ti setlnua prior, but thcio ;s little danger that ill results will follow. Cuba needs the Cult-d States much mote than the fulled States needs Cuba or Cuban trade.
