The English papers recently re
ceived give ample space to discus
sion of the Cincinnati riots. The Lon
don Echo, proceeding on the idea that,
though murders are extremely com
mon in Cincinnati, no murderers
have been hung since 1866, suggests
that the reason is not to be found IN
an objection to the death penalty, but
to the corruption Of jurors, and then
pays-this tribute to the wild justice of
the Lynch Code: ''It is remarkable
that American public opinion seldom
makes a mistake in its judgment of a
criminal, whatever the courts may
do. There is no case on record of a
man having been lynchcd on evidence
that would not have procured his con-
viction in any well-constituted and
honest court"

ar oar popular frnit yender, fine
