The llroostook Traaedu.

As cool reflection returns, the Discus
sion Of the lynch law proceedings in the
Aroostook Tragedy. occupies the public
mind. The expression from The press
which probably reflects the average senti.
ment of the community, Is, that there IS
no Justification for mob law in quiet old
State like ours. The Progressive Age, oil
Belfast. iusliGes the act taking the ground
that such = liend rs Cullen should be shot
down ike Il mad dog.
Some papers SAY that the gross murder
and avenging are the result OF our educa'
ton on the Capital Punishment question
one side contending that the sickly sen
timenlaiity which fails to deal out justice
to the murderer encourages crime, while
others say that the execution OF culpril,
has lamiliarized the world with deeds o
bloodshed and atroeiIy, and on this &C
count. murders multiply. We doubt i
Cullen was influenced by either view
He was hardened. reckless, desperate
villain. who acted from will and passion
without regard to consequences. II any
thing is to be inferred from the act 81
lyuching him. it IS that death is the mos
natural and only adequate penalty fol
such horrible crimes as this villain coin'
miited.
The objection to summary Justice 'o'
Lvach. law. is, that men execute 1t in the
heat OF passion, wrought up by circum'
stances pointing To the guilt Of party
and without the safeguard OF trial
vouchsafed to all. Where man Is
caught in the very &C, Of SOME terrible
crime. and enough Of the people, who ai'
sovereign. take the law into their own
hands, and execute tho guilty party de
liberateiy, IN the day time. ii may b
justified in some conditions Of society
hardly. however, in a community OF IA"
and order ike ours.
