REMEDY FOR LYNCH law.



Judge Clark has just demonstrated

one of which the ravisher was lynched

this case. The prisoner was found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged on

ample Is commended to all other Judges

THE RAILROADS AND THE
COURTS.
The Commission n Great Evil
that Should be Ignored.


The railroad Commission matter
is already sat down upon. The
people of the State arc generally
disgusted with 1T. All Of the beat
ing of drums to revive public in
terest in it will fail. The World
will fail in its frantic efforts to fool
the people a second time. Nineteen
twentieths of the newspapers OF the
State will ignore its discussion, as
they have realized the fact that
they help to stop the building of
any moro railroads. For full two
years they killed the goose that was
laying golden eggs.
The World works itself into a
frenzy because the railroads take
advantage of their legal rights to
have their cases tried in the Feder-
al courts. If they have the law on
their side, why question their rights
to avail themselves of it. The slurs
at the Federal Judges, Baxter, Ham
mond and Key is bad tastel No
one dares to assail either their abili-
ty or their integrity except blind
partisan newspapers, and their at
tacks are hurtless as casting straws
against the wind, which are only
cast back in the faces of their ma
ligners.
The World charges that the rail
roads have no respect for the rights
of the people and the supremacy of
the law, and "distrust jury of the
vicinage."
The railroad managers appeal to
the law and abide by it. The same
law is ministered by. the Federal
Judges as by the State Judges
Newspapers, like the World, seek
to arouse the passions and prejudice
of the people by fattering their
vanity. That is in plain language,
demagogy. They insist on trying
cases by "a jury of the vicinage. |"
Why? The juries of the Federal
court are composed of our citizens,
and OF men selected for their i'm
tegrity and intelligence, They try
cases upon the law and the testi~
mony. Why can't they try cases
rightly? They find the facts in
every case in The same manner that
jury of the vicinage would upon
sworn testimony. Could jury of
the vicinage do more, if they obey>
ed their oaths? If justice is what is
wanted, we believe that jury of
the Federal Court would come near
er giving it than q country jury for
the very plain reasen that, being
strangers to both parties, they would
act more impartially and be less in
fuenced by personal leanings to-
wards their neighbors and freer
from preiudices. There il no blink
ing the truth tnat "juries of the
vicinage" have often yielded to un-
due passion, and prejudice, and
have not done justice to both parties.
Shrewd lawyers act upon this know
ledge In the interest of their clients.
We do not intend to fatter eur jnries
by exalting them TO the 9TH heaven

The Brooklyn Union publishes
the following dispatch from Peek-

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
passed nearly the entire morning in
listening to statement from Gen
eral Horatio G. King, of Brooklyn.
General King has just returned from
Buffalo, where he has been engaged
in making for Mr.. Beecher careful
investigation of the scandalous
stories in circulation about Governor
Cleveland. The result of his in
vestigation is entirely favorable to
the. Governor, and Mr.. Beecher is
highly delighted. To a Union re-
porter Mr.. Beecher said this morn
ing: III have been undergoing
judicial process. / have been way
down in the mud, but now the clouds
are breaking away, and | am be-
ginning to understand that these
stories about Governor Cleveland
are untrue and vile slander. You
can say that [ expect to brand the
men who have promulgated them
as black mailers and liars; for now
expect the Governor acted the part
of man in this affair. I shall take
the stump for him and tell the peo-
pie of this country that they must
elect him President. | shall enter
this campaign with an enthusiasm
second only to that with which /
entered the war. Take my word

CURED BY FAITH
A Cripple and Paralytic Takes
up Her Bed and Walks.


Much interest has been manifest
ed among residents of Newark, N.
j., over an alleged caseof faith cure.
Mrs. Mary. B. Douglass, Of No. 1874
Camden street, had been practical
ly bed riden for many years. In
heriting spinal disease from her
mother, she always had weak back.
A complication of diseases that ats
tackled her settled finally in her
spine, and after suffering for four
years from spinal inflammation she
was finally stricken with curvature
of the spine. That was four years
ago During the last two and
half years she had liberation of the
stomach and assesses. For eight
years she had been confined to her
bed. Her left hip was drawn out of
though she were club footed, and
her feet became paralyzed. Means
while DIR. Ella Haines has been at
tending her Miss Elmer and c. G.
Lathrop pursuaded her to see Mrs.
Baldwin, a faith curer, and that
that lady, with Mr.. Lathrop and
Rev. DIR. Sanford, congregational
minister, called to see her. Mr..
Sanford talked with her till she had
consented to intrust her cure to the
Lord, and then the three knelt
around her bed. DR.. Sanford pray
ed, Mrs. Baldwin pressed hard on
her spine, while she two prayed,
and the pain, Mrs. Douglass says,
seemed to leave me right away.
Then the gentlemen left, and Mrs.
Baldwin asked me to get up. told
her / could not, but / sat up in bed
Finally she ceaxed me to put my
foot on the floor and did so.
"'Now, said Mrs. Baldwin, plac-
ing two chairs by the bedside, rise

Finally she called DIR. Sanford in.

which was crowded with prisoners.
the greatest terror prevailed, and for
some time it was feared that the
panic stricken men would attempt
to burst the doors to escape. After
the first eonvulsion their dismal
howlings and screams to be let out
were heardwithin three blocks of the
building. A dissipated man by the
name of Doyle, who was tempOrari-
Iy incarcerated to await his trial, be-
came perfectly insane when the first
shock came, and acted like amaniac.
When he found he could not escape,
he retreated to corner of his cell
and shivering with terror hid him
selfbeneath the coverings of his bed.
After a while his moans ceased and
when found he was dead from fright.
At the State prison at Wethersfield,
the same confusion prevailed, and
force of prison officials were muster
ed to prevent an outbreak.
On long Island, brick chimnies
were thrown down and the Presby-
-erian Sunday School house at ia

A GUILTY MOSES.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Ex- Governor
Moses, once Republican Governor Of
South Carolina, and in latter days
an alleged swindler and confidence
man, was arrested by city detoct-
i've last night. The arrest was made
on a requisition from the Governor
of Massachusetts, based on a warrant
which charges Moses with embezzle-
ment in that State. The prisoner was
found at the house efrelations on Ar
cher avenue near Twenty seventh
street, where he has been staying for
sometime. He will be taken to Bos-
ton at once. During the Republican
Convention DIR. Hollister, of Chicago
was swindled out of some money by
q man who represented himself as a
New York physician in hard luck,
and it was always supposed that Mo-
ses was the guilty man, What par
ticular offense he has been guilty of
in Massachusetts could not be ascer-
tanned, as the police authorities pro
served a mysterious silence

Dispatches from New York of the

startled the residents in that vieini-

Portland, Maine, to Washington
City. 1t seems to have been felt
with the greatest severity on Long

from. At2:21 p. m. three long and
convulsive shocks were felt through
out the city and vicinity, and was
particularly felt in houses occupy

threwn down, and in some cases bad

bells were rung, and the houses

Says a contemporary Tennessee
has 300, e0e worthless dogs. What each
dog eats would make 100 pounds of ba-
con. This would abundantly furnish
meat for 100, 900 ablebodied laborers
for the entire year. At ten cents a
pound the bacon Is worth SO, 900, 900.
The worthless whelps prevent us from
raising 1000. 600 sheep the mutton and
wool of which are worth 5000, 900,
counting sheep killed, while we spend
not more than 50, ,OOO. .OeO to educate our
children. Thus 1t is three dollars for
dogs and one dollar for children. Keep
it before the people.
