He was lynched In broad daylight by unmasked men. Ills crime was that ot assaulting a married woman. She was passing along a lonely spot. The negro rushed upon her from ambush and accom plished his purpose under threats ot murder should she give the outcry She then went and promptly reported the crime and a mob of determined citizens ran the negro down nnd 1:111 ed him. They peppered him with shot from their guns and were on their way to hang him when he e' pired from loss of blood. The papers are already saying they served nim right. Tliey call him a negro rapo fiend. If he had been down South the Northern press would have put it down as another outrage perpetrated upon a "colored citizen.' Thero would have been all UinJs of .. adverse comment against the peoplo down there. It is another lesson to the Northern citizen. The North has had many lessons of late of like character. In the North, where there Is not one negro in 1000 population as compar ed with the South, rape is being per petrated by them here with a greater proportion according to their popu lation than in the South. Lynchlngs in the North are also at a larger per cent according to the negro popula tion, than in the South. Yet It is brutal to lynch in the South and right In the North. This is not true. It is not right to lynch anywhere. The law should al ways take Its course. The negro is a citizen of the country, made so through blood and tears, and he should always be protected as other citizens are protected. But this abuse of one section for doing a thing that those complaining would do under the same circumstances, should cease. The . two sections should come together on this point and form some plan not onjy to 3top lynchings, but to prevent the cause of the lynchings. It is a scientific as, and tho American peoplo can ac complish anything. The rape fiend is a disea.se. He is tho consummation of a loathsome disease. He is so by inheritance. His posterity became such by inheritance. Smallpox and a hundred other contagious diseases, In cluding yellow fever, have been con trolled by science, and why not con trol tho rapo flond disease? It has cost this country reputation, bitter comment and human lives. It has sacrificed the most sacred honor, that of pure woman. It is tho bitterest enemy to our laws and our welfare.- To cut it out would bo the greatest of modern achievements. No prico would bo too high. I-et It bo done, should It bo necessary to colonize, transport, exile, emasculate, blot out -this class forever. In the meantime, let the North Uxplorers keep forging nearer and nearer the north pole, it is only a question of time until it will be reach j ed. Explorer Peary, who has Just j returned from an expedition, stntes that he reached four degrees farther I north than has ever been reached be fore. The provious record was SO de grees and 2" minutes. -Mr. 1'eary's present record Is SI degrees and 17 minutes. Another expedition is forg ing toward the south pole. Modern man will soon explore every point on this sphere, and, with the Hying nin chine, ho may branch out later to other points. Portland is responding to the relief of the sufferers from the late forest tires with true open-handed charity, the woolgrowers of Oregon, who were In session at Pendleton Tuesday, were the first to start tho fund on foot. They gave $100 as n body and individual members stated that It was only necessary to riuu out now much was needed nnd It would bo raised. Tho people ot Oregon are noted for their charity when a deserv ing case is presented. Bryan is certainly a lucky man. outside of politics. His marvelous escape from death yesterday in a train wreck is the second ono of tho same kind since ho has been playing to the galleries. His luck Is only equaled by that of President Uoose- velt who escaped from the collision with an electric car a few days ago. Hut neither has yet tackled an automobile. Tho Boxers are again shaking China, even unto her very' walls. It Is claimed that the theories of the Boxers are similar to that of vliat is known as socialism in this country, the main difference being that tho socialists here do not believe in mur der and rioting. Now that the United States ma rines are taking a part in the Pan ama trouble, it Is presumed that the Insurgents will quit. AXMAN SPARE THE TREE. The Information is given out that all but 91 of tho Calaveras big trees have been included in tho sale of a timber tract, and that tho buyers will soon begin lumbering on their purchase. This Is sad news, and bad. Ono would think that thero is enough tim ber in California for economic uses without attacking these great trees, which are the oldest examples of In animate life in tho world. They give no evidence of having passed tueir prime. Tho decay age is not upon them. If it were there might bo somo excuse for their harvest and conver sion to tho uses of man. But tney still stand erect, their verdure un touched by ago, and their rootliom on mother earth as firm as wnen tney were saplings in that far past Detoro man had erected nations or organ ized government. itfnt manv hundreds of them exist Thev were migratory, and dendroiog- lsts And cvidenco of their original hab- itnt hfivond tho Arctic circle, wnence they started on a journey southward, going below tho present southern linnnilarv of uauiornm.

Talk ted by Alonzo Tucker, tho rapo fiend, 0r the old ruins of tho Eastern Hernia- vesterdav In Oregon. Phero, to wnicn wo inane pum. Is talk about things of yesterday when the age of thosu troea Is com pared with that of tho sphinx nnd pyr amids, Man did not build them. Joa quin .Miller snld that tho greatest ar chitect could not build a tree. But man's hand ran easily destroy that which It cannot build, and It !r about to be put to tho task ot destroying these nnclent works of nature, to make a few dollars! It Is bad for tho trees that man and government ever overtook them, If man and government canont save that which flourished without them. Wo protect the buzzard and tho gull and the sea Hons from slaughter nnd ex termination. Wo glvo tho wild deer nnd birds a chance by making a closo season in which no man s hand can slay them, unpunished. Wo glvo to tho fishes of the sea nnd river shelter of the aanie law that man makes for his own protection. But deer and wild birds and fish may be enslly re stored to their cover and to tho waters In a few years they can bo multiplied and renewed. Not so these nutoc thons that are the primates ot tho forest. Their growth was so alow that they wore intended to ho compnr isons of time, the comrades of tho con' turles, the epochs, the neons. They cannot be exterminated, to bo renow- ed and reach the majesty of their per lection In the lltcttme of a man. To the drenuologlst thoy nppoar conscious of their great destiny In tho preparation thoy make for their ca reer. In their first youth they bulgo at tho ground and taper rapidly. This bulging base Is their foothold nud foundation. From It their roots go far afield, cleaving the granite and clinch ing in its crevices to hold up their great height. Uke athletes thoy poiso mil balance and prepare for their weight and height they aro to carry. and lit themselves to defy mountain stonnst hat are to beset them, tho great gales that are to try their tonv per and the heavy snows that aro to try to crush them. -Man in all his wlsuom and experi ence, with tho resources ot science and art within his reach, nowhere makes more conscious preparation for his life and destiny than thoy. Thoy stand the most impressive and inter esting and valuablo of the creations of nature. They aro tho oldest plants that tho sun shiueu upon, and tho most ancient relics of vegetable life wo know. Wo havo learned to call the destruc tion of man's works by man vandal Ism, from the stern northern peoplo who with hard hoof trampled Into dust the elegant evidences of Homan civilization. But man replaced the re fined creations that tho vandals de stroyed. The offense thoy committed was slight compared to that which is chargeable to the exterminators of these old trees and grand. The sensi bilities of a few Callfornians are tem pered and on edge as the great ca tastrophy approaches. But tho ma jority aro Indifferent, and the almost human groan of the great creatures as tney fall strikes upon deaf ears. No hand Is raised to prevent tho sac rifice. Commorco seizes upon tho dead bodies of these great brethren, and they are sold In tho market place and the money Is banked, nnd tho en terprise of man has found its meanest expression in tho murder of tho trees. -rSan tranclsco Call.
