NEWPORT, - - ARKANSAS.
ANENT LYNCHINGS.
Local public opinion is con
vinepd that, in Loui Allwhite the
I
or should do more than make a
show. Arkansas has to her
credit entirely too many lynck
ings.—Batesville Bee. Will any
j one knowing the origin of this
rumor please favor the public
j with the information. Our sleuth
: confesses inability to find the
1 fountain head. The Batesville
! editor is beside himself in his re
peated hysterical ravings over
this affair. The idea of compar
ing the mob which punished the
most dastardly crime ever known
l in Arkansas to that which cruci
fied Christ is repugnant to any
people of the least common sense
and-too coarse for publication.
Kansas is again attracting at-1
tention by reason of another j
freak product. Senator Smith;
has prepared a bill making mar-!
riage a civil contract with a time
limit and it is offered as an anti
dote to the divorce evil. Pro
gressive polygamy, the idea is
proclaimed by St. Louis society
women, and all sorts of pet names
are hurled at this harmless
statesman from the Kansas prai
ries who only sought to make
home life more peaceable by
placing husband and wife on
probation.

mob exacted the life of a man
guilty of one of the foulest
crimes ever chronicled, and with
this security that an innocent
man had not paid the penalty,
the awful affair lost interest.
Yet the opinion of the press rel
ative to i he mob continues to
find expression.
There is little of censure in all
these discussions. For the most
part the authors have been con
tent to rest the responsibility of
it upon those who knew all the
facts, and have reserved their
judgment. Representative Keel
broaches the subject in his ad
dress to the house as temporary
speaker, and openly defends mob
law in cases of proven assault
and murder.
.Therein lies the danger of
mob* What shall constitute
and who shall be the
judges»? Are men aroused to
vengeanc-e for crimes that are
sufficient to make their blood run
hot, fit personnel for a jury in
this land of boasted freedom and
security? Is the evidence nec
essary to convict in the minds of
frenzied men always proof in the
-eyes of deliberate jurors sworn
to weigh the testimony and deal

It was generally reported that
“your governor” would take a
hand in the prosecution of the j
lynchers, but how few believed j
it! In the first place no one j
thought the governor was called
upon to take a hand, but had this
not been true the good men in ;
Sodom would have outnumbered ;

role of such a vigorous upholder

Lynch ever so fair and trust
worthy as the constituted tri
bunals of OUr land?
Usurping uri authority that is
not theirs, taking 2 life t° which
they have no right, thus placing
themselves as common murder
ers in the eye of the law, is the
responsibility a mob take upon
themselves.
And while in this late instance
the gallows have undoubtedly
been cheated, mob spirit is infec
tious and may sometime lead tc
that awful calamity of taking the
life of the innocent. For this
reason it behooves us to upholc
the law, our courts and officers
as we do value the good name Oj
our community and the rights o:
the individual.
