GOOD ORDER AND REAL ESTATE.

: good order with real estate. though SOM
:: what more indirect. is equally demonstr,
bic. The town of Huntington, Lon
Island. has been distinguished FOR serit
of ku-Klux :hdignities inflicted, upon pc
sons obnoxious to tia. community. The
usually employed tar and feathers, in Ii
use and application Of which the Hunting
ton experts are regarded especially skill
full. Several cases of aggravated enormit
are recited, running bacl. for a period {
twenty years. The last was the case Of
man named Kelsey. accused Of some di:
respectful demonstrations toward
young lady. For this it is charged tina
he was seized. tarred, seathered an
beaten. 4 body with clothing staine,
with tar has been found floating in tn
neighbo,ing waters. Boots and othe
articles Of dress have been found, be
heved to have belonged TO The missin!
man. The public conviction OF his muir
der seems, therefore. quite conclusive

position of these people to correct the ten

brush, a narrative says:
! kelsey's was the fourth and last case. anG
II is not little singular to know that none
OF the people tarred seem to have long sur
! vlved the outrage committed on them.
And it is then added:
The Hun:ingtonians generally. though
loud III denunciatlOD. are slow in action
If they could only BE made to understand
that. as Il community. they are disgraced
by this outrage before the eyes OF the world
they would perhaps stir themselves into
| activity. They will learn that fact sooner
| or later, however, and first OK all through
the medium OF their pockets. ! do not
think that many New Workers would care
TO purchase country seats or summer resi-
dences in a locality where they might be
tarred and teathered or murdered by their
neighbors. with the 'best families in the
place" as accessories. in the garden plot Of
their own or their neighboys' houses.
The people Of Huntington. however.
have seen this danger to rea! estate. They
have held town meetings. provided funds
and organized a rigid investigation into
the affair. It is proper to allot to this
rather tardy vigilance share Of proper
motive, but there can be no doubt that
the Discrimination Of New Workers .".o

influence. We would respectfully cite
this example and this effect to the worthy
and respectable citizens OF those parishes
in Louisiana which have been SO unfor-
tunate rs to have been the scene of SO
many murders. scourgings. and Of SO
much social ostracism. II SO happens
that these very parishes offer for sale the
