- There Is much talk of lynohing |
Richards, and If by possible chance
be should fall into the hands OF men \
exasperated by his deeds of cold /
blood we could not feel, what ever
they done, that they acted beyond the /
law. Such atrOcious acts of his de-
serve premptory dealings from JUS
siee. City NeICS.
OF course-where mob law is su-
pFeme it would take considerable
courage for a One-hOrse editor to
"feel" otherwise than that "aChdteUeT
the mob might do, :" they would not go
beyond the law. We excuse you,
therefore, Potter, for the emission of
such execrable twaddle. BY the way,
Potter, as you have had considerable
experience, and that "whatever they
donen would not be beyond the law,
you'd better go and lead the "premto-
ry dealings" and how would you
have Richards served up-roasted or
stewed?

Syracuse Journal. A correspOn-
dent to to the Omaha Republican says
that prohibition daily will be pub
Iished during the session of the legis-
lature and, probably, Finch, the great
temperance advocate, will edit it and
also be leader Of the forces which will
array themselves in a struggle for pro-
hibition. Lively times are expected
In our opinion a local option law is
what the people desire. a prohibito-
ry law will not prohibit.

Smith died, suddenly. of heart dis

Syracuse JOJrdI: The prohibit
tionists of the State think that they
can control the coming session of the
legislature, simply from the fact that
the members thereof are generally
temperance men. In this idea they
will, probably, find their mistake.
Because an individual belongs to q
temperance organization is no certain
indication that he favors prohibition.
