THE CORRECT PHILOSOPHY.
Public opinion is higher than all
law, If the law does not agree with
the sentiment OF the people, SO much
the worse for the law--lt cannot be in
forced. We have so many instances Of
this, in which juries refuse to enforce
penalties, that do not square with
their notions, il Is strange law
makers cannot learn how useless uu-
popular laws are. The rea on and cause
of crime and vice is one thing and It's
remedy is another. The public deal
only with the latter. The frequent
outrages by blacks often call in the
services of Judge Lynch as a remedy.
The cause OF those outrages is another
thlng which We have never vet seen
fairly stated. Crime aud vice will
never disappear without the removal
OF the cause, Prohibition AZ a remedy
is powerless to remove the cause Of
drunkenness. The subject must be
looked at in another Light Denison |

MORE COAL DISCOVERED.
Some time ago the Gazette referred |
TO surface coal being found about six |
miles west of Pittsburg. Last week |
Mr.. w. d. Credible brought a lot Of |
ugnlte into town and we now have a |
chunk of it in our office. He saws he
took IL from the bed Of branch, and
that the vein Is four feet thick where
The water passes over It. The vein
can be traced for mile or two, and if
on further investigation the quality Is
found good it will prove a bonanza.
1t is about seven miles aud a half
northwest Of Pittsburg. Mr.. Il. j.
Duncan, assistant superintendent of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad, stopped
here last Saturday and went out TO look
at the coal on Captain Flatau's place,
six miles west of here, and he says he
never saw better indication of good
coal on the surface IPittaburg Ga

MORMON OPEN INSULT.

son OF perversion Of all the principles
OF law and liberty by Federal authority
is sentiment that is filed without
about as much gall as is possible to be
shown. After defying the laws of the

thereby have produced q most oppor-
