Most of the newspapers North on ! South art' making a "prosit miration" over the lynching of a m gvo in Louisiana for stealing a cow. Wo can't see why this shouhl excite any greater comment or indignation than many other deeds of I outrage and lynchings, for equally as small and perhaps less olYenses and since there ought not to he any excuse made for any other lynching than for one olfense only, all the rest are without mitigating features. We publish in this issue of Tin: Timks the rules and regulations which will govern the conduct of enrollment and primary elections for the nomination of mayor, aldermen and other oflieers of the city of l7ni >n, adopted by the executive committee. The people of the city will do well to r?ad and study and thus become laminar with each ami every rule in order to be able to intelligently comply with the rcquiiemcnts. Tiik Ti.mks endorses these rules and will endeavor to support the move made to secure a clean and fair election of city ollieials. We arc democrats and should work in harmony with a view to promote the best interest of the entire people. < >n our first page of this issue we hive two articles to which we desire t > call the special attention of our readers as containing startling facts and conditions against which the l>eople of this country will soon be callo l upon to tight and face in a manner which must eventually and inevitably settle the socialistic question for better or worse. "The Duty of the Privileged Classes," "The Menace of Socialism," awakens fears for the safety of our social fabric which are not without foundation, in existing facts and conditions. Why should the privileged - sUt*Ti~vti'lose J.1 u-ir eyes and ears to ? ????? - iabfK^.'i^t'on, whose tlii? all lniportarrrqxrc*?., - , duty it is to make the effort te>V,.(l just the situation, it being mof^ nearly in their power. Why should the church, which is powerful in a degree, stand hack and allow the oppression of the over rich widen the broach between the classes, which inevitably engenders evil spirits and precipitates crime. Legislation is powerless to suppress many evils that public sentiment would be able to remedy and relieve. IRONY OF FATE." * Perhaps in the history of noplace or people has there ever been a flK more glaring, glittering, glimmering illustration of the irony of fate than that furnished by the community in which we live, which forced the projector and promoter of the most colossal scheme, the of which lifted the city from its sleepy inactivity, to hustling, hustling enterprise, progress and prosperity. A deposed king who suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, after spending his energy in earnest effort and eonsumation of a people's greatest needs, could feel no deeper wiong than must the. greatest of this people's eaptain of industry, in yielding, l>y force of circumstances to a cruel fate which places hcyoiid the reach, grasp and enjoyment of the one to whom the credit for the groat enterprises and industries which has kept alive and pulsating the great commercial activities of the city for the past years of her phenomenal growth. The whips and scorns of an ungrateful people is "hie l'nxtitfgbT t?Vr tfr all." iSta.. F.ULES AND REGULATIONS l or the Conduct of the Enrollment oi Democratic Voters and o!
