excited people.
The undersigned thinks that The action Of
the police in this matter should be considered
with due allowance Tor the civil war which
had recently been brought TO close. The
body was not yet properly organized, nor
did u have the force that was required to put
down disorder Of such proportions in .
short time. In this connection il is proper
10 recall the words used by the Honorable
Secretary Of State at Washington in his note
addressed 10 the Marquis Imperiah, and
bearing date Of Nav Il, 1891: There Is no
Government. however civilized II may be,
however great the vigilence displayed by its
police, and however severe its criminal code
may be, and however speedy aud inf xble
may be ITS a iministration of justice, that
can guarantee its own citizens against
violence growing out OF individual malice or
ssudden popular tumult."
