A towards Crime.

Louisville, Ky, May IA Courier
Journal Bsrdstown special tells of terri
bic double murder in Nelson county. The
murdered men are Herbert Armstrong and
David Brown. They were found in a field
where they had been blowing, one shot in
the head and the other through the heart
The wounds showed that the killing was
done with Spencer rife. In a clump of
bushes were found two empty shells The
superstition is that the murderer concealed
himself in the bushes and coolly shot the
men down. 1t is not known who the MUIR
derer is, but man named Freze is suspected;
all the evidence goes to show that he COM
mitted the crime. He had bad business
to trouble with the murdered men. The
rife shells fitted a Spencer rife be owns.
Tracks leading from the bushes to his
house were alse discovered. The men are
all well-to-do farmres. The excitement is
running very high, and it is feared that
Freze will be mobbed.

of a business card : mad, mad for
give me, dear wife, and love the boy"
Tie simple fact is that, with no
vengeance in his heart, and with all
the moral support extended to him
by the church and by all the organs
of enlightened public sentiment, Judge
Reid found life burden too heavy
for him to bear under the disgrace of
having taken a horsewhipping with
out killing the man. 1t is said that
his own wife was dissatisfied with bis
course in this respect, and while he
had the nerve to die by his own hand,
he had not the courage to bear the
suspicion of personal cowardice to
which the affair had exposed him.
He felt that underneath all the sur.
face talk on the subject, the tradition
al and ineradicable sentiment of his
state called for personal vengeance,
quick and deadly, on every man who
dares to lay the slave lash on a free
mans person.
The public sentiment which up
holds private vengeance against the
law in any case of personal wrong is
a relic of barbarism. How cruel is
its sway and how false is its estimate
of personal courage, the suicide of
Judge Reid illustrates. 1t destroyed
the peace of his home, broke down
his religious convictions and goaded
him to the dread alternative of TAX
ing his own life or committing what
knew to be murder.

JUDGE REDS SUICIDE.

A month ago, when Judge Richard
Reid of the superior court at Mt. Sterl-
rg, KY, was horsewhipped by Law
yer Corneilson, member of his bar,
and member also ofthe same church,
it was confidently predicted says the
Post-Dispatch, that such an affair
could have only tragic termination
in Kentucky. 1t seemed for a time
that this prediction would not be veri-
fed, and that an apparently unani-
nous expression of sentiment from
bench and bar and press and public
would nerve Judge Reid to act in the
premises as became a Christian and a
wearer of the judicial ermine.
But yesterday, this man, who thirst
ed for no other mans blood, who had
show himself true Christian in every
hher trial, who had no stain on him
nut the marks of the horsewhip, and
no had every prospect of being NOM
GATED and elected judge of the
highest tribunal in the state, went in
to q law Office in Mt. Sterling and
blew his brains out, leaving no ex-
nlanstion but these words on the back

THE PANIC.

No better argument could be ad-
vanced in favor Of the legal surpres.
sion Of stock gambling than is furnish
ed by the transactions 10 Wall street
during the past week and if they
lhould result in awaking the country
10 realization of the terrible and
rawning abyss over which hangs not
only the monetary welfare but the
very existence of the American gov
eminent, so long as few reckless
millionaires greedily grasping for
more and endeavoring to control the
entire business of the country are per-
mitted to carry on under the guise of
legitimate trade their nefarious prac-
tices, then indeed will the late panic
prove a real blessing, Notwithstanding
it has brought to suffering and want
many honest and industrious people
and for a moment paralyzed the entire
business of the country while the real
ly guilty are pampered, sympathized
with and condoled, the vaults Of the
government treasury, the wealth of
Europe, pensions and private aid be-
ing showered upon them until for
every dollar lost they receive ten.
1t is a sad and alarming spectacle
indeed to see the intimacy existing
and the close relations borne by these
sordid grasping money changers and
userers and the government officials
and is anything but assuring to the
calm observer, as to the integrity and
uprightness of the latter.
With over a years crops ahead,
with prospects the most fsttering for
a coming season of plenty, with every
branch of industry well developed,
with willing and ready hands to push
the car of progress onward with a
power and speed never before attained,
the country is treated to the spec
tacle of wreckers casting Instructions
and lmpediments in its track, like
the robbers who waylay a train for
plumber. Whatever Interpretation
may be put upon the present exhibit
ton which is only repetition of the
past, however it may in the minds
of the masses be connected with polit-
ical, s Governmental or speculative indi-
yidual ends, the fact remains it is a
horrid and hideous vampire sucking
the blood of the nation and paralyzing
its best interests and one which de-
mands speedy extirpation at the hands
of both federal, state and local govern
ments, and the sooner the fact is re-
allied and the people see to it that
their officials carry out that fiat, the
better for the country and every in
dividual init.
