The fact that our judges and courts do
so little to interrupt the progress Of
lynching seems an Indication that the
legal tribunals are very willing to have
the people relieve them of their grave
responsibilities. "The laws DELAYS" are
as marked now as in the days of Ham
let.

them had made trial trip in the papers,
are denounced as obscene and disg race
full by the New York Graphic, which
charges, with great deal OF truth, that
the women versifers of to-day are very

would hesitate, and the angels step in
where men would fear to tread. The
subject under present dissection by the
Graphic, is Ella Wheeler.
