The Agri< ulturnl Department, lias an agrustologixt and a thousand inspectors are abroad to prevent the misbranding of Heeds and plants; but the government cannot protect itself in this very particular and is the victim of more wholesome cheating than anybody else.

An economical if not a practical solution will be for the government to appoint fx fool killer. ? Race Hatred at the North. Altogether the most ominous feature of the lynching at Spring tield, Ohio, is the disclosure of deep-seated race prejudice and hatred which characterised it. T : i.:.i o. ? jy 111.1! lilj', 1*^ IllUt'UU* nilUUJ^II, I'VI'll in its simp I est nspeots; hut when the killing of 11 ?*? ostensible offender is attended hy hii outburst of in 11 r tenuis animosity against the entire negro colony it attains the proportions of an nil-prevailing calamity, says the Washington r'oat. No matter how completely we may condemn and abhor the lawless (lest i notion of a human life, it is still possible to imagine the infnriation provoked by some particularly fiendish erime. But when tins appalling onthmst of mob yiolence is followed by a demonstration of general and comprehensive passion for massacre, one stands aghast at the horror and the barbaiity of the sp'elide. fcihese frightful phenomena nearly always attend a lynching at the north. Th v never do at the south. In the aou'h I hey catch the culprit. >'?r the supp ?sed culprit. and put him todeath often under circumstnnees of unspeakable horror. L?~ 4 1 I- ?

Rut iit the northern b ales the lynching js merely the spark that lends to the ex (onion In almost every instance the mob whets its appetite for slaughter and devastation pn the initial sacrifice. It is only too plain that the lynchers seek the extermination of the negroes, and use the lynching as a pretext. The question is not thnt of punishing some individual otfender, however cruelly, but of killing every member of the race within oach. ilnrrBnrrr t .. SHBBsi The Wz.r in ihe East.
