that the United States has no liza

THE NEW ORLEANS MOB
Attacks the Prison and Batter
The Doors Down.
NINE PRISONERS ARE SHOT DOWN
AND TWO HANGED.
The Outcome of the Hennes'y Assassi-
nation.


The volcano that has been show
ing signs of great disturbance O
late broke out on the 18th inst
The long forbearance of the PEG
pie of New Orleans has come t.
an end. The murderers that have
infested that city for years have
laughed at the puny efforts of the
law to check them. When the
law becomes powerless to protect
the citizen, then the people in
mass must take hold. In this
case they seem to have done so in
terrible earnest. 1t was strange
to see how such a multitude could
have been governed SO well, and
that any one was allowed to es-
cape, when we know what a tenn
per they were in. For that feature
they are to be praised. They went
to lynch certain ones, and when
that was accomplished they left.
1t is seldom that a mob is 50 east
ly controlled, for, as a general
thing,when they once get the taste
of blood they resemble wolves
more than human. 1t is something
always to be dreaded, and the case
must be aggravating in the ex-
IRENE before we could give them
any countenance. In this case,
however, the proof seemed posi-
tive of their guilt, but still they
were turned loose upon the people
and something had to be done. 1t
was done. and efectualIy done at
that, nine of the murderers were
shot down and two hanged.
What effect this will have upon
the others who are awaiting trial
it is hard to tell.
1t was thought at one time that
as these men were Italians and 81
cilians that it might lead to some
complications, but it seems now
that they were nearly all natural
lied citizens.
These troubles are liable to oc-
cur in other places as well as New
Orleans so long as men of intelli
gence are kept out of the jury box
simply from the fact that they
have read something about the
case before. Now, if a man says
that he is biased from that reading
and could not give an impartial
trial it would be right to reject
him. But the mere fact of his
having formed some kind of an
opinion of what he has read should
not dlsqualify him, for no man
should set IN a jury who does not
read, and when he reads he should
form some opinion, or there is lit
tie use of reading. Under the
present laws nothing but igno
rance will ever get on a jury to try
a felony.
The best method, however, to
prevent these occurrences, would
be to exercise more care in the
landing Of these immigrants. The
C%aliforhians declared that ''the
Chinese must go" and we of this
country must say that the Dago :
must so. Remove the cause and ,
he disease will soon yield to
reatment.
