THE STATE OF PUBLIC FEELING PRESS COM
MENTs or THE RECENT EVENTS.
! CINCINNATI, April As TO the state
OF public feeling, il cannot be said that the
original impulse that actuated the men
who took part in the demonstration on sat
urday night has been removed or lesscned
by the presence OF the military. On the
contrary, the events OF Friday and Satur-
dav nights have given rise to 4 new feel
| ing-that OF indignation against the mill
tia. Only the hopelessness OF conflict
with this powcrfuIy-armcd force prevents
an attack upon it.
Newspapers usually conservative in
tone speak with great freedom to-day on
the situation as II now is.
The VolkSbldH Germany says: The call
ing out OF the militia on Friday night can
only be characterized as a grave mistake.
Our militia know and can do nothing else,
it appears, but shooting. ii reliance had
been placed on the police force order mi ht
probably have been restored without The
loSs OF life
The Freie PreSSe (German) says: The in
dignatiOn OF the people is on the increase
on account OF the rough and wholly uh-
provoked shooting upon peaceful citizens,
upon women and children, and the in
crease OF indignation is becoming worse
and more fearful. 1t may be dreaded
upon the too reasonable grounds that the
shedding OF blood is not yet ended, but
will begin airesh. The article blames
Sheriff Hawkins, Mayor stephens, and
Governor Hoadly, the first two for mis-
management and the latter for not coming
here to see for himself what the situation
required.
The Commercial Gazette, in an editorial
to-day upon the situation, speaks IN inc
strongest possible condemnation OF sherIL
Hawkins for calling on the militia, and
takes an account Of the salvage from the
three days of terror and destruction. II
SAYS: 1--WE have saved our iailiul Of
murderers. We have killed f0rty-hye In
nOcent men, and wounded ana malineC
145 more. all to save our iailfIll OF murder
ers. We have burned our fine courthouse
with the records OF three-quarters OF
century, creating confusion which who'll
generation will not suffice to settle
But what is that by the side OF iailful o
murderers saved from popular excitement
We have converted just and popular i'm
pulse against the prOstration of the law
before crime into war between an unor
, ganized people, inccnsed to acts OF blin'
vengeance against the authorities, wh'
) killed them to protect murderers. w
