The Murder of SnodgtNss.

buNNTNh ohNihNlt
The trinl Of Smith, whose real name is
Hogan, for the murder Of Marshal Snod.
grass, at Ciestline, is an illustration that
comes close to home, OF the necessity Of n
reform In the administration OF criminal
Justice.
Although according to the law, the YER
dict is severe, yet according to the facts the
fellow ought to have been hung-and the
people care very much for the facts and
very little for the law.
4 worthy man, selected by the people to
ill an Important public office, ia shot dead
in the conscientious execution OF his duty
by professional burglar of notorionsly
bad reputation. Every witness who dared
to testify against the murderer is subjected
io ridicule, abuse and insult. The prose
cutting lawyers are scoffed ut and treated
conteniptuously. The murderer, known to
be professional desperate, is held up Ms n
martyr, aud the victim viiliicd and his
character asaniled. All pity is for the fam
lily OF the numbering villain, all scorn,
contempt and cruel insinuation is for the
victim and his bereaved family.
Justice, justice for the people demands
blood for blood, n worthless life for the
valuable one. Law requires only ten
years imprisonment which folly fortu-
nately made imprisonment for life.
No matter, that life imprisonment in the
penitentiary is worse than death, the pee
pie do not so regard it. They have seen the
iniquity OF this trial, they have now been
made fully aware of what the Jo,Tndi has
often declared: That The administration of
criminal ldw IN thus Nation is crime against
The people, and the teaching of this trial has
been sharp and severe.
Ii is safe To predict that there will he
no trial OF the next desperado who muir
ders good citizen. A couple Of rufhans
may quarrel and one kill the other; thar
will only he one villain the less and the
people will care but little, hut woe betide
the next professional scoundrel that mur.
ders good officer ora good citizen, as llo-
gan murdered Snodgrass. His trial will
not cost the people more than 81 900 as
this has done, unlss every thing is in his
favor aud every thing against the people
attending to him.
This il may he said, is mob law. Not
so; it is revolution. There is dreadful
ne, essiiy for revolution in the admins
tration of criminal justice, and in this
government OF the people, Ivy the people
for the people the trial and punishment
Of criminals must he SO revOlui iuniZrd that
IL ceases to be crime against the people.
Our criminal courts must cease to he arenas
where nnscrupu'ous lawyers have umre
strined OPP ortuniiies to clear criminals &
build up an Infamous reputa iun at the ex.
pense of the people. Ii only mob law and
revolution can effect this reform the sooner
such crisis comes the better for society.
