An Innocent Man Lynched.

NV York, June 4-0ne spring morn
ing two years ago the people Of New jersey,
and Of New York. too, were startled to
hear that such n crime had been committed
in the former State, within fifty miles Of
this city, as II was supposed could hardly
occur in a law-abiding eastern community.
Samuel johnson, an old negro, who was
Familiarity called Mingo Jack, because he
used TO attend trottng horse Of that
name had been lynched in an atrocious
manner at Eatontown because there was
good deal OF reason to believe he had
assaulted Miss Anjoline Herbert, white
girl. The negro protested his innocence
TO the last. and in the most hear. rending
manner implored his assassins TO spare
him. Now comes an appalling story, in
the shape OF confession from the real
criminal that Mingo Jack Was indeed
innocent. Richard kearncy, negro
undcr sentence Of death in Freehold, n.
j., ior'tho murder OF Mrs. Margaret Pur.
cell, voluntarily made a sworn statement
to officials on Saturday that ii was he, not
Mingo Jack, who assaulted Miss Herbert.

LOUIS SCHADE VERY DESPoNDENi- Il
DECISION SETTLES THE MATTER.
Louis Schade, attorney for the United
States Brewers Association and editor OF
the Sentinel, at Washington, was seen ~
the Voice correspondent in reference to
the decision in the Kansas prohibition
cases. Mr.. Schade said at once:
at settles the matter in all prohibition
States. This is a terrible thing for people
who have invested their money in brew
cries. For instance, take Mr.. Walruti, i'll
Kansas. His brewery was worth $4,000.
This man carried on a recognized legal
business. Whateve. our feelings may be
regarding the selling of intoxicating liquors,
it does look unjust to wipe out that prop
erty at blow and make no compensation
for it.
"Why, this claim for compensation was
something that the brewers felt certain
could not be denied them In England,
two years ago. Mr.. Gladstone, while ia
voring local option, said that means must
first be taken to compensate those who
would suffer by such legislation.
The Court bases its decision on the
ground that the excessive use Of intoxicants
leads to pauperism and crime; but to legis-
late against the excessive use OF abuse is

wrong. This decision settles the question
for all Prohibition States. and even for
local option counties. ! am sorry for it
very sorry; not only on account of the beer
and liquor interests, but because I regard
it as blow at the civilization of the age.
1t will bring the institutions of this country
into contempt among all foreign peoples.
The Supreme Court says that man can't
even manufacture intoxicating beverages
for his own use from materials produced by
him.
"Doyou think all the brewers and liquor
dealers of Kansas will now STOP the bust
ness"
They will have to stop. But that will
not stop the people from drinking
DO you not think this decision will vew
much encourage the friends of temper

II can't answer for them. But ] should
think they have reason to be satisfied. for the
decision gives them more than they have

TO the present day the superstition
is rife that blood stain cannot be washed
out. During the French Revolution
eighty priests were massacred in the
Carmelite Chapel at Paris, and
the stains (called) of their blood
are pointed out to-day. Sir
Walter Scott, in his "Tales of a
Grandfather" declares that the
blood stains of David Rizzio, the Italian
Private Secretary OF Mary Queen of
Scots, who was stabbed at Holyrood
palace by certain Protestant leaders Of
her court, aided by her husband Darn
ley, are still to be seen. In Lancashire
the natives show o stone called the
Bloody Stone" which was so marked
to show Heavens displeasure at some
OF Cromwell's soldiers atrocities at
Gallows Croft. In Macbeth" act five.
scene one, Shakespeare alludes to the
idea: "Yet here's spot"
The truth about blood cannot be
easily explained. In the first place, if
that Of murdered person, it is not at
tempted. In the next.place blood con-
tains oxide of iron, which sinks deep
into the fiber of wood. and proves in
dellble to ordinary washing. Thus it
is true that stones of porous nature.
and wood not of the hardest kind. are
susceptible to the stain of blood pro-
duced by the oxide Of iron which blood
contains. But the blood of pig is as
good as that Of q murdered man.
