1HE Brown county B45uer hopes that
Governor Hubbard will leave no stone
unturned to ferret out the members of
the mob which murdered the Green
boys. recently in Coryelie county, and
visit upon them the iull vengeance of an
outraged law. The Bassnar is right on
general principles. The mob which was
strong enough to set fire to the dwelling
and endanger tho lives of innocent vo.
men and children, and strong enough
at the same time to kill both of the
Greens, was certainly strong enough to
have effected their arrest, and TO have
insured their detention until the courts
could have administered a righteous
punishment for their crimes, if crimin~
ais they were. We are aware that ii
sometimes happens that whole commas

tnat some such punishment seems not
only proper and right, bat about the
only thing left But it can never be
right, under any circums tanees, 70 rob

law, TO say nothing of the demoralizing
effects of such modes of procedure, and
the odium which attaches itself TO a
community which tolerates them.

WASHINGTON, September I3-Rev.
John McElroy, the oldest priest in
America, died to-day AT Frederick,
Maryland, aged ninety.six years. He
was born in Ireland and came to
America in 1856. He made Washing
ton his home aud shortly afterwards
joined the Jesuits at Georgetown col
iege, and WAS ordained priest in 1917.
AT the time the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad was In eOurse of construction,
many riots took place between the two
classes of Irishmen employed. The
military were almost useless, aud the
ooly person who had any power over
the rioters was Father McEIroy, who
restored peace on every occasion. Be
coming infirm, he retired to the NOvi-
ate at Frederick. Two years ago he
became blind and for several months
death has been expected. He built
churches and colleges ia different sec
tions OF the country, and was one Of

the American army in the war with
Mexico, and had charge of the sick
