Mob Law.

Since the hanging OF the cold
blooded murderers Of LaPrade at
Springfield, great deal is being
said pro and con by the press OF
the state on the subject OF mob
violence. We give below an ex.
tract from the Gallatin Examiner,
which contains many solid facts.
1t says:
The Examiner has expressed
very clear and decided opinions IN
regard to mobs. 1t is opposed TO
them under all circumstances. All
who take part in them should be
punished vigorously. But, in con
sidering the question fairly, we
should not tlose sight of the causes
that bring them about. While
there are ne two sides to the mat
ter whether there is any justifica-
ton in one breaking the law in or
der to revenge crime, it is within
the line of discussion 70 consider
the causes that produce this upris-
ing of the people TO punish infrac-
tions Of the law.
The law fails in being yindica
ted. Life and property are not
protected. No citizen feels secure
In his castle. He has Lost conf
dence in the power OF the law 70

fdence In the court house; he dis
trusts the judge; he distrust the

Kissing aud Telling 1t.


When the wroyg man kisses the
right woman or the right man Kisses
the wrong woman-and both sone-.
times happen-it does not always
follow that there Is disturbance.
about it. The world can never
know how much Unauthorized kiss
ing has been done and forgiven and
forgotten. In the naturally wild
and sudacious career of the human
kind there is n great deal of that
sort of business, and it is just as
well that it is not cruelty dragged
before the public on every occasion.
II that were always done it would
be very discouraging to q reasona-
bly, delightful pastime which more
or less concerns everybody. Many
of the cares and trials of this world
find relief in kiss; it is q very
little thing, uncommonly sweet for
its size, and one of the few luxuries
OF this world winch well organized
people never get too much Of
Nobody who understands even the
rudiments of kissing disdains its
practice, and those who have been
so fortunate, as to reach some
thing OF the science of the thing are
not easily restrSined in their pur-
suit of supreme happiness. A kiss
doesn't cost much OF anything,
and its a pretty small matter to
make q disturbance about, and
most people will endure a great
deal of kissing without getting an
CRY about it and regarding it as a
misfortune to make public com
plant. Now and then, however,
humsn nature is put to an awful
test in this way, and human nature
breaks down. A man may not bt
so particular about putting his kiss
es where they viii do the most
good; the chief aim of man is to ge
the kiss, aud be is frequently too
hasty and too reckless about il. Blu
a woman is apt 10 be q little mor'
consIderate in her preferences.

omce Seekers.

New York Sun: The republican
party has controlled the national
government for the last twenty
years. All the officers who derive
their appointments from the execu-
tive departments are republicans.
A vast majority of these hold their
positions under commissions which
have not yet expired. A large share
Of the rest occHpy their places at
the will of the appointing power.
The president is reported to have
said that he shall not remove any
OF the present incumbents whose
terms have not expired except for
neglect Of duty, and this will be the
policy OF his administration. '1a'sa
Nevertheless, Washington swarms
with Republican Office seekers of
every grade. They crowd the
streets, fill the White House, throng
the executive departments, and be-
siege the president and his cabinet;
they smother them with petitions
and letters of recommendation; they
hang upon the skirts of senators
and congressman, and they make
themselves disagreeable oy. the
pertinacity with which they urge
their claims to places under the
government. afe--tT q

Another Grcnt storm.

Chicago, March 19-One of the worst
storm Of the season set in early this
morning and up to this hour (noon) snow
has been falling SO rapidly, that snow
lies three or four inches on a. level. A
fierce wind accompanied it, but so solid
was the snow that it did not drift per
ceptibly, and the wet and solid mass lies
on the streets and pavements like sc
much ice. Steam cars generally arrived
on time, as they were nearly here when
the storm began, but the street cars,
after keeping up q battle for two or
three hours, sought their barns.
Snow:plows took their place on the tracks
and attempted to open the roads, but
with little success, for their six and eight
horses were unable to keep the tracks
clear. The streets were blockadcd with
pedestrians during the morning, and Ia
ter 'busses and carriages were improvis-
ed to accommodate travel. Telegraph
wires are weather bound to most prnci.
pal points and in the city there is great
interruption in telephone and telegraph
business. She wires look like two inch
ropes with their heavy wrapping Of snow.
Inquiry Mt the railroad offices show that
the storm was not very severe in the
north, but extended west as far as Oma-
ha, south to ST. Louis and Kansas City,
and east on the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne
road as far as Crestline. Railroad men
say there will undoubtedly be great de-
lays if the storm continues much longer,
as it is Of the most dangerous character
of any this season.

Condition. of shipping In tho East.

New York, March 19-There is no i'm
provement Of note in the cape trade to
California. Both lines have ships in
berth and and are doing fairly, yet there
is no great rush. Shippers, however, are
inclined to hold back, many OF them hop
ing that the new overland road will be
able TO make rates against all roads and
thus enable shippers to forward freight
by rlil that otherwise would have to go
by sail. However it is not probable that
the new route will make any special rates
for some time yet or until they are in
good working order. Rates are firm, as
many old contracts are running out and
the disposition of agents is to advance
rather than to cut.
Isthmus freight is dull, MS railroad
agents hold the.rates up to the overland
tariff, and the only rise is by steamers
for certain rough and coarse goods that
cannot pay the overland contract rates
At Boston there is considerable freight
offered, and Van Week deems it advis,l-
BILE to put on ship instead of bringing
freight to this port. The ship Brown
Bros. is due there and she will probably
take berth for San Francisco railroad
freights. At Boston there were fairly
active shipments the past week, includ
ing 545 packages fish, 100 cases of canned
goods, 100 cases of yeast powers, so cases
OF sugar of lemon, so boxes of tin plate
TAB kegs OF horse shoes. At Philadel.
phia the market is quiet; in fact SO mucl
so, that considerable freight has beer
sent to this port for shipment.
