A LACK OF JUSTICE.

! The universal opinion among al
good citizens throughout the stat
is that the four hoodlums WHIT
''tcok" the Missouri Pacific rail
way last Saturday night. between
HillsbOro and Waco, should b'
severely punished; so severely in
deed as to deter other tun-lovin9
hoodlums from attempting a like
outrage. On Tuesday they plead
ed guilty to the charge OF carrying
concealed weapons and were fined
$50 each instead of the limit Of the
law, 500. They We're willing tC
plead guilty to disturbing the
peace if the charge of riotIng was
withdrawn, this the county attOr,
ney refused to do, and they were
released on bonds of 500 each
with the exception of one, who
was required to give 5000 bond.
1t is safe TO say that if the parties
are not dealt with in the United
States court for interfering with
the mails, that they vii! get oil ON
the payment of nominal fines. Tac
offense committed was Il grave one
and is calculated to do the state
great harm abroad. II was an act
of rowdyism that should be pun
ished to the fullest eXtcn, OF the
law, and the opinion is freely oX-
pressed that the perpetrators ought
to be sent to the penitentiary. In
extenuation it will be pleaded that
the men are fair average citizens
and meant no harm beyond having
a lIttle fun. It Is o shame and
disgrace to the state that the only
hope of the offenders IN this case
getting anything like justice is
through the United states courts.
In the federal courts all men stand
on an equal footing and there is
no distinction made in favor OF
persons and It is seldom that
money has any influence; In the
state courts the contrary holds
good. The fault lies not so much
IN the law itself, or in its oxeeu-
ton, as it does with the genral
public which is prone TO condone
otfenses committed by men who
are seemingly respectable, but who
by their acts forfeit all claims to
responsibility.

About ) o'clock Saturday at
ternoon 4 shooting ARRAY occurred
ut the residence of John Delauney,

-Hanlon, the man shot by Crow
