Responsibility for Mob Violence.

OTaWIOruhNlIIe Argus.
The indianapolis Journal has a lengthy
editorial on the Oxford lynching, and IN it
the blame of mob law is placed upon the
courts and lawyers of this country, which is
certainly the proper place to put it. The ar
ticle also refers to criminals escaping pun
ishment through technicalities of the law,
and that the bench and attorneys magnify
these technicalities in order to defeat the
ends of justice, 1t truly says that the peo-
pie must have reasonable hope that murder
ers will receive the proper punishment. As
cases are treated now the people have no as
surance of this and, rather than run the
risk of seeing fiend set at large, they make
way with him. The remedy is with the
courts, and no other place

One of the greatest dangers that menaces
our government is the impunity with which
colored citizens may be massacred in the
South, and the State courts take no notice OF
the matter. 1t is the solemn duty of the
national government to step in and protect
its citizens when the State authority fails TO
do so.

The Irrepressible Conflict.

The civil-rights decision and the Danville
riot will make a vital issue in the next cam
paign. The civilization of the South does
not appear to DE willing to accept either
theoretically or practically the broad and
liberal doctrine of the political equality of
all men and women. Till this is done there
will be an irrepressible conflict between the
North and the South. There is deep an
tagonism between the civilization of the
South and the civilization of the North. 1t
will take more than generation of time to
blend them.
