MOB LAW.

w
ern press as being given over to mobs
and to lawlessness. The lynchings
which occasionally take place in the
Territories are quoted In evidence OF
the semi-barbarous character of their
Inhabitants and as proof of their un.
fitness for self-government. When
Governor Crosby telegraphed ia
Washington that, "Government feed
is scarce. The Democratic ~ posts
master at Greenhorn has been
lynched by a mob for burning a
neighbours barn." Republican jour-
nalists In the East seized upon the
news as damming evidence of the
lawlessness and brutality of IA peo-
pie in general, and of the cussedness
of Democrats in particular. It turned
out, however, that the postmaster was
q Republican, not q Democrat.
The mischief tnaJ tnoughtless dis
patch of the Governor did to our
people is incalculable. As its result,
we have been spoken of a. a people
ready to disregard the law upon the
least provocation, and to take it into
our own hands whenever the humor
seizes us. Doubtless hundreds OF
well-to-do, peaceful, law-abiding cit
liens of the States who have looked
to the West for new homes have
been deferred from settling in u
Territory by that very same dis
patch.
It Is not Of this matter, however,
we intend to speak. The press of
the Territory have been heard upon
the subject, and with one or two ex
ceptions-Republican journals-they
have expressed their decided disap-
proval of the Governors action. W.
merely wished to cali attention to
the fast, that the people of Montana
are quite as obedient to the laws, and
possess the elements of the higher
stage of civilization ia as great a de-
gree Is those who compose the com.
munities of more favored localities.
During the past fifteen years. a Jail
has not been broken into by a mobin
Montana end we know of but onein-
stance In its history where prisoners
were taken from the officers of the
law and lynched. That vas done in
Lewis and Clarke county with the
would-te murderers of the old man
Lenhardt.
But never in the history Of the
Northwest has such a scene been en-
acted as vas enacted in Cincinnati
night before last. Ten thousand PEG.
pie were seen defying the law and
seeking the blood of a murderer. 1t
is possible Berner was a
most guilty wretch and
deserved hanging. But Ohio has
her laws; Ohio has judges of her
ewn choosing-we occasionally get
one from that State we don't choose
she boasts of her intelligent people
and her high state of civilization.
She has furnished the nation With a
of Presidents-with the assist
ance of accommodating returning
eight to even electoral COM
mission, and Dorsey-and is pre-
pared to furnish another one. She is
supposed to be q law-abiding State,
In which the mob spirit has long
since disappeared, and a model of
good order and good government
the Territories should emu
late. That illusion, for it was only
IN illusion, is dispelled and Ohio
may now look to the West for lessons
In order and self.government with
profit to herself and her lawless

fight. An instance is given where
one man shot three of q mob dead
and run the rest off when it attempt
ed to break into his gun store. A
squad of thirty policemen captured a
cannon from another branch of the
mob.
This all happened last Saturday
night. Sunday, the gravity of the
situation impressed everyone. The
solemnity that prevailed throughout
the CITY was appalling. The people
seemed to realize the dreadful work
of the mob. The loss of property and
the frigbtful destruction of life are
calamities they were u%nprepared for.
"If," say our dispatches, anything
could intensity the honest indigna-
ton directed against the first cause OF
this outbreak, the revelations of this
morning do It," Gov. Hoadly has or.
dsred every military organization in
the State to report at Cincinnati. A
telegraph wire is placed at his dis
posaI, and he is kept constantly adj
vised as to the situation in Cincin
natl. Berner is resting quietly in
the prison at Columbus. The gates
of the prison wete closed Sunday
against all on account of the great
multitude of people who wanted to
see him as he passed to the chapel
with the other prisoners.
AT $40 p. m. Sunday, Briggs Swift
