The New Lobster Law.

To the Editor of the Press:
A PRESS correspondent of two days ago dis.
covered that the law prohibiting the taking of
Holsters afterAugust LIST, and up to Oct. 10Th. is
harsh measure procured in the interest of the
packers. This is silly notion at best, and not
only does injustice to the packers and all Others
who really have thought much about saving
and making valuable our fisheries, but is di-
recty hostile to the good offices and efforts of
Mr. Stillwell, our able fish commissioner, and
MS deputies, and to every other student of this
question. Mr.. Stillwell helped to draw this very
bill, and urged even a more rigorous penalty.
Professor Baird expressly recommended and
urged close-time; and indeed, all the differ
ences concerning it, in any quarter, have been
as to how long this yearly prohibition should
continue. After full and fair comparison of
views. it was agreed that two months and
half would cover the soft shell and spawning
season sufficiently to save the crop from de-
structloD, and be no especial hardship upon
any class, as the local trade is very small. and

and which even then came too late to answer
the needs of the state. 1t is a measure sup
ported by every unselfish friend of our material
interests, and is not based upon any petty
scheme OF advantage over any class
The writer referred to, said the packers were
at corn and berry preserving about this time
and did not suffer from the law, but the fish
ermen do. This is not true except as to some
of the packers, for while some of them do this
latter business they do it at other places and
with different crews. But even if it were true.
and the lobster packers would hang up, any,
way, it must be very plain that the fishermen
would have to hang up, also, since they would
have no market for their catch. SO much for
a silly prejudice against this important legisla-

ImprOmptu Hanging.

A peculiarly impressive specimen OF It's
class was the s'moral spectacle of the hang
ing of boy of eighteen in Missouri for horse
stealing, of which scene the st. Joseph Her
aid gives a full and graphic account. The
murdered boy, James Ross, was arrested by
constable on suspicion of horse stealing.
On the way to Jail he was taken
from the officer by band of armed
men and dragged into the woods. When the
rope was put about his neck he seemed fully
to realize for the first time his situation and
begged in most heartrendins strains for
mercy, adding piteously that che was mere
boy and wanted time to REFORM" The stern
reply was, 'You can have five minutes" and
four stout men took significantly hold of the
rope. The lad was so agtated that he would
have fallen to the ground had he not been
supported. Then he rallied again, and again
besought mercy. He might as well have
spoken to the deaf. Then came silence for
moment, broken only by the tick of the
watch in the spokesman's hand. There was
no pity in their rigid faces. The shadows of
night were gathering, and only a minute re-
manned to him, when the boy began to pray,
although in tone so low that his words
were undistingushable. Then came fran
overwhelmingly Times up;' and, after the
single exclamation, SO my Godp the body
of the young horse thief was dangling ten
feet from the ground. His hands were thrown
wildly up to catch the rope. but moment
after they dropped lifeless on each side and
the boy thief was dead. The executioners
mounted their horses and rode rapidly away,
leaving the corpse there with the night.
Then entered LAWN the person of the cor
oner, who gravely cut the body down and
held an Inquest, in which the bereaved con-
stable was the sole witness, who swore with
equal gravity and decorum that the boy had
been taken from him by persons unknown.
The jury found that the deceased died "by
violence at the hands of some party or parties
unknown" And so the whole matter was
comfortably concluded.
There are great many similar affairs
transpiring just now in Missouri, Kentucky,
Tennessee and elsewhere which must afford
great degree of satisfaction to those stern
moraists in our own state who gloated over
the Pressure Isle lynching of last year. The
moral effect of hanging men is, in these cases,
perceptible in the highest degree. 1t may or
may not check horse stealing or burglary or
highway robbery or whatever other specific
offence is charged against the victims; but
we submit to the advocates of the irregular
halter whether spirit of violence is not en-
gendered by these lawless performances
which will almost certainly lead to other and
graver transgressions. Those who deduced
from the Presque Isle murder the conclusion
that prompt hanging by law must be assured
to prevent repetition of like summary ven
geance, must logically insist on attaching the
death penalty, in the states above mentioned,
to all the minor offences of which Judge
Lynch has taken cognizance with such tragic
pffect
