The following from the Dexter En-
terprise is a sermon in itself. In these
days of maudlin sentimentality, it is a
very difficult matter to bring murder
ers to justice, and the consequence is,
whole communities endeavor, for self
protection, to enforce the spirit of the
law by breaking the letter thereof
"Twelve years ago this month";" says
the Enterprise, "a mob lynched
George Koons at Kennett, Dunklin
county, by hanging him to the cross
beam of a cotton-gin for numbering
Hard Randall. Since that time until
Sunday night no man has suffered
death in that county for murder. not
withstanding fully score of worse
kind of murders have been committed
there since the hanging of Koons. But
from various causes the perpetrators
of these crimes have always come off
free or with a very light sentence in
the penitentiary. The lynching Su n
day night was the squei to the murder
of John McGilvray, at Maiden, on
Friday, the 10th, by Bowman Paxton.
Monday was the time fixed for the
preliminary examination of Paxton,
before Squire J. J. Knight, at Maiden.
Yesterday Constable J. H. Bledsoe and
II. r. Cox went to Kennett to bring
him up for trial. AS they were return
ing with him last night, between 10
and IL O'Clock, at a dark place in the
road, about two miles and half south
of Maiden their horses were seized by
the bits and the hack in which they
were travelling surrounded by armed
men with leveled guns, and they de-
manded Paxton. At the same time
the guards were seized and disarmed.
Paxton was taken from the hack and
the horses heads turned toward Clark

Out at Last.

A plain but most ineligible and
conclusive explanation of the Mug
wumps is contained in the last number
of Haaper's Weekly. 1t was the out
come of letter lately published in the
Evening Post advising Mugwumps to
give up being amateur guerrillas of pol
itics and make of themselves square
Democrats. The Post opposed the idea,
and Hdrper's Weekly agrees with. the
Post, and the ground of its opposition
to complete fusion throws the whitest
kind of light upon the whole Mug
wump enterprise. In the judgment of
the Journal of Civilization the reason
why the Independents did not imme-
diately after the election of Mr.. Cleve-
land throw themselves into an mex
tinguishable union with his party is
indicated in this:
''If the President had called Mugwumps
to office, and if the Democratic leaders had
welcomed them as none the less Democrats,
although they had always opposed the DEM
ocratic party, an irresistible AdministI alton
party would have arisen."
1t was because Mr.Cleveland did not
do this satisfactorily, thinks Hnrper's
Weekly, that the Mugwumps are not
to-day Democrats. So we see that if
the Mugwumps had got the offices and
the Democracy had suddenly been con-
verted into party ruled aud directed
by the Independents, and of which the
Independents enjoyed the rewards and
honors, Mr.. Cleveland's special body
guard would have stuck to the Democ-
racy for good.
A striking feature of this declaration
on the part of this Mugwump journal
is its simplicity. The Mugwumps want
to run the Administration and they
want the offices as a means of running
it, if for nothing else. That is very
It is the very essence of
Democracy.
But by the Mugwump on the outside it
is called the spoil system.-N. Y. Sun.
