The Crisis.

The week fraught with so many trem-
endOus realities to Cheboygan is closing,
but fruits of mcmentous occurrences re-
main. 1t is useless to reason with cy-
clone, unless you are at safe distance,
and to counsel graceful action to those
contending with desolating fires is more
easily done than to suppress the volcano
that belches. forth. Those who thoroughly
Investigated ;ths matter and are sure Of
Warmers innocence; those who are hon
estly opposed to capital punishment in
any case; those who did all in their pow
or to prevent the lynching; those who
are perfectly sure their daughters could
be as brutality treated, and subjected to
as exquisite torture and refined cruelty
as was Nettie Lyons, and that they
would under such an excruciating ordeal
oppose the hanging of the guilty fond,
have full right to speak in severest
condemnation of the hanging. But
those not included in the above, those
who at any time used such expressions
as-the guilty one should be
hung--hanging is too good for

attention has been given to the prepara-

that the public will appreciate the object
for which it is 7presented. The school
grounds are in very primitive condi-
ton, totally devoid of anything in the
way of Ornamentation, and very uneven.
1t is the earnest desire of the teachers to
do all they can towards identifying the
premises by drawing earth to fill up the
hOllOws. laying out flower beds, walks
etc. TO inculcate in the minds OF pupils
an appreciation of the beautiful, is as
much the part of their education as read

him-he deserves the severest pun
ishment, are somewhat embarrassed in
unqualified censure. Some say the lynch
ing is objectionable, and the leaders
should be served in the same way; their
position is simply unanswerable. Some
say the man should have been sent to the
penitentiary for life, which is. in the
language of the Detroit Evening News,
"a Lying death, more horrible than
hanging" If more horrible than hang
ing" why are you so good as to plead for
this more horrible" and Giving DEATH"
Is not hanging severe enough? And if
lifelong seryitude is severer punish
ment and more horrible" death why
are criminals such fools as to prefer the
more horrible" death? Any tough pen
itentiary bird would walk around the
world and enter prison to stay as long
as Methusalah lived rather than endure
the milder remedy 20 minutes. Some
say If it had been done judiciously it
would have been right. Such thing
could not be done judiciously in Michi-
gan. Jesus Christ was crucified Judi
ciously, and Jere Dunn and ex-COngress-
man Thompson were judiciously APPROX
ed, and some say mistake was made in
each case. The fact is there is no law
in Michigan that Furnishes rape COM
mensurate with the crime. and the un-
certain issues of criminal cases before
the law make lynching possible un-
der the most aggravating circum-
stances. In Iowa, Michigan, Illinois,
and all the states in the Union, there
should be more certain remedies for the
repression and punishment of crime, and
| the problem is the most difficult for the
political !SOlOns of this age to solve.
Every man should have fair trial.
Every punishment should be legally in
fiicted, and lynch law is the most terri
BILE ruler on earth, and should be dis
carded by every community desiring the
welfare Of virtue, good society and the
surest safety.
