MobOcracy Rampant.

|
The accounts furnished in the press dis
patches of three cases of lynching, oc-
curing on the 23d inst. show that the
spirit of lawlessness is increasing and
that some definite action should be taken
to suppress it, Two of these cases of mob
violence in which the victims were killed
were in the south; the other and much
the worst occurred in the north-in the
staid State of Michigan.
The lynchings in Georgia were Of
negroes who were arrested, one for
murder and one for completely in the
crime. They were seized while being
conveyed to jail and hung by an infu-
rated mob. Without trial or chance to
defend themselves they were ruthiessly
hurried into eternity; that is they were
brutality murdered.
The man lynched in Michigan appears
to have been a white man, also accused of
murder and assault. and was taken from
jail by about two thousand infuriated
persons. dragged with rope around his
neck, strung up, stabbed repeatedly with
knives, his clothes torn from his person
and his body riddled with bullets.
1t was most brutal affair. There was
no decency or order about it. The lawless
ruffians who perpetrated the crime cursed
and fought with each other like demons
for pull at the rope that strangled their
victim. They were not indicators of the
law or the representatives of justice, but
the incarnation of vengeance, the express
sion of malice and hate, the embodiment
of lawless passion and savage fury. The
affair is a disgrace to the state.
1t is doubtless impossible to prosecute
and punish crowd of two thousand peo-
pie. 1t may be possible to bring to jus
tice the ringleaders of the mob. That
ought to be done. The executives of the
states where these outrages take place
will not be doing there duty il they fail to
set in motion the machinery OF the law,
and see that the proper officers take all
needful steps to prosecte the offenders.
Lynching is becoming so common that
it is infectious. 1t must not be tolerated.
It is out of place in a civilized community
where all the forms and appliances of the
law are available. 1t may have been
iIIsti ifs HE in earlv times before courts
and iuries and revenue for the execution
OF the laws were ready to be put in oper-
alton. There is no excuse for it now.
Mobocracy is parbarism and must be
abolished. The voice of the press and OF
the people ought to demand It's utter ex-
tinction in these United Stated.

Jurisdiction of Justices.

The endeavors of District Attorney JUDD
TO promote more perfect execution OF the
laws in the Second Judicial District have
occasioned considerable discussion. THE
HERALD has explained the reasons why
the gentleman directed peace officers in
that district to take defendants before the
nearest magistrate, whether he is United
States commissioner or justice Of the
peace. We endorsed this action as in the
interests of justice, for the convenience of
the public. in furtherance of proper econ
omy and in accord with the law.
1t has been contended that the attor-
ney's instructions are unlawful, because
justices OF the peace have no jurisdiction of
cases arising under the laws OF the United
States, and that "the Organic Act and
the laws of Congress nowhere provide or
give authority for Justices of the Peace
to assume the jurisdiction of United
States Commissioners over certain mat
ters,'' the 'scertain matters'' meaning
offences under the EDIUNDs and Ed
MUNDs- TUCKER acts.
One lawyer argues in print that Mr..
JUDD IS ideas on this matter appear to be
'fclearly without authority of law, and
will surely lead to trouble ii attempted to
be carried out.'' He states further that
sit is not q question whether the people
can be trusted to enforce the laws OF the
United States as well as those of the terri
tory, but it is simply question of law
and jurisdiction.
All we have to inquire into, then, is as
TO the jurisdiction of justices of the peace,
as examining magistrates, in cases arising
under the laws of the United States, ex-
traneous questions being admitted TO be
foreign to the vital question.
The organic act vests the judicial power
Of the territory in "a Supreme court,
District courts, Probate courts and in
Justices OF the peace. - This and subse-
quent acts OF Congress define the limits Of
the powers of the justices OF the peace,
but do not debar them from exercising
criminal jurisdiction. Justices may not
sit on cases of controversy where land
titles or boundaries are in question, nor
in civil cases, unless the amount in It'll
cation is less than three hundred dollars.
Their other jurisdiction is to be ssas
limited by law"
The territorial statutes limit the civil
jurisdiction of justices to cases of less than
three hundred dollars, and give them
criminal jurisdiction of petty offences and
in all misdemeanors punishable by a fine
less than three hundred dollars or i'm
prisonment for six months or both.
Justices are also declared to be magis-
trates, before whom persons charged with
offences may be taken for examination
with power to discharge or commit them
to the grand jury and admit them to bail.
1t will be argued, perhaps, that all this
applies only to cases under the laws OF
the territory. Well, we will go a little

OF the feelings OF Democrats in its vicinity
is altogether incorrect. At any rate their
objections should not be expressed to an
inscriptions foe.
AS to appointments, it is perhaps
natural that 'sour town. and "onr
county" should desire to be recognized.
1t is common though not exactly broad
minded to indulge in it. However that
may be, patience is virtue that COM
mends itself to all observers and usually
pays its possessor in the long run. Who
knows that by waiting little longer
complaints that have been INDUCED in
may prove to have been premature? In
any event, patriotic Democrats will not
bolt because they do not get Office for
themselves or their immediate friends,
nor do they give away their grievances to
their party's enemies.

The Wyoming War Again.

The news from Cheyenne of the shoot
ing OF DUB CHAMPION reviYes the story
of the ssinvasion'' which last year
brought Wyoming into SO much disgrace.
This man was brother of the NATE
CHAMPION who with NICK RAY was shot
and burned BY the mob that surrounded
the ranch where they were staying. He
was killed by AfIkE. SHAUGHNEs5Y, who
was one of the invaders and participated
in the raid on theT. A. ranch.
It Will De renlem bered that on the claim
that rustlers were stealing cattle in John
son county, a party was fitted out in
Cheyenne and went in the night into that
county, where they intended to take
control of affairs, drive out the obnoxious
settlers who were called rustlers,
and kin all who stood in their way and
offered resstaf.ce. Their sho citing at
JACK FLAeG and others, and their cold
blooded siegeof-the T. A. rancho where
they lay around until they succeeded in
shooting down CHAMPION and RAY and
setting fire to the house, was told in de-
tail in The HERALD,
The raiders were subsequently besieged
in turn by Sheriff RED ANGUS and his
posse and captured, and were finally set
free, the prosecution failing, chiefly
through lack of funds, to make case
against them. This lapse of justice in
jured Wyoming greatly in the eyes-of the
whole nation.
1t appears that SHAUGHNEssY's story
Is the only one yet told OF the latest
tragedy. He states that he was met by
DUB CHAMPION, who had been laying
wait for him having sworE to avenge his
brother NATE's murder, and an encoun-
ter took place in which SHAUGHNEssY
was the better marksman, and he shot
his assailant through the heart. He went
at once to Douglas, thirty miles distant,
and gave himself up.
This IS probably not the end of the
troubles growing cut of that invasion.
There are other men who have deadly
grudge against the invaders. The two
CHAMPIONS whose blood stains the soil
of Wyoming, have six living brothers.
Two of them have ranches in Johnson
county, and are considered hard men to
handle. If SHAUaHNEssY comes out OF
this affair as he did out of the other, he
will be marked man, and had better
prepare for trouble, or make himself
scarce.
Wyoming's reputation will not be i'm
proved by this re-opening of the rustler
war. A rigid examination should be
made into this latest homicide, and JUS
tice should be done, if it is another MUIR
der, while the slayer should be protected
if it proves to have been case Of self
defence

New and Fast Service to the Worlds Fair
Commencing May Z, the new time card
on the Rio Grande Western becomes eff
fective. The time on the night train is
shortened eight hours, improving the
service in all respects on both through
trains. The schedule is arranged as fol-
lows: Morning train leaves Salt Lake al
sos a. M, arrives Denver at 7:45a. NJ, or
a fraction over twentythree hours. Ar
rive Chicago at 2:15 p. N. The night
train leaves at 7:20p. m. dnstead of 9;25
p. NJ. as formerly arrives Denver at 0:40
p. m., Omaha p. M, Kansas City p.
M, St. Louis a. M, Chicago 8a. N.
Through Pullman Palace double drawing
room sleepers to Chicago. This is great
service and eommends itself to the travel
ing public who seek speed, safety, and
last, but not least, comfort. While this
fast and elegant service has been put on
mainly to accommodate the large Worlds
fair travel over the Rio Grande Western
line, it has come to stay and will be a
permanent schedule.

EMMA BUCHANNON,
WILL BE TAKEN BACK TO Pennsylvania
THIS MORNING,
There 10 Answer the Charge Of kurdsr-Sevsra
RObbsriss Reported YsslsrdaY-Ihs MiScslla-
nruuS Criminal News Of the Day.

Yesterday Detective Frank Campbell,
of Uniontown, Pa, arrived in the city
in search of Emma Buchannon, the
young colored girl who murdered John
Woods babe, as detailed in the REGIS
UER of yesterday morning, from the
lips of the girl herself. Mr.. Campbell
was seen by a REGISTER reporter soon
after his arrival in town, and he detailed
some additional facts concerning the
crime. In the first place, Mr.. CampoelI
says the statement that the child Killed
was eighteen months old, as contained
In a telegram from Uniontown, is incor-
rect. The babe was really but ten weeks
old. The babe died from the effects OF
the I've given 1t on Thursday evening last
while the girl was sent away from the
County Home that morning. 1t appears,
according to the detective, that when
the girl was sent over 10 the County
Home from Scottdale there was no
statement of the crime she had commit
ted, and as the authorities there didn't
want to be burdened with the girl, and as
she said she belonged in this city, she was
bundled off to Allegheny city, en- route
to Wheeling. When the news came OF
the death OF the babe, Thursday even
ing, it was then too late TO recapture
the girl, and the authorities appealed
to the County Commissioners for money
TO get her back. Mr.. Campbell
says the Commissioners have stead
tasty resisted all appeals to
furnish this money, seeming to
take not the slightest interest in the
case and throwing out all manner OF ex-
cuses, and he only came after the girl
upon the assurance OF the prose-
cutting attorney that the ex-
penses would be paid. The Buchan-
non girl has resided for six years
in Fayette county, Pa, and Mr.. Camp
bell SAYS she should have been sent
there rather than to Wheeling, as she
has not lived here since she was little
child. There is well founded suspi-
cion in the vicinity OF Scottdale and
Connelsville, according to Mr.. Camp
bell, that Emma Bucbannon may
have had something TO do
with the death of child who died
near Connellsvlle. about month
ago, from q dose of concentrated I've.
The girl seemed to know all about this
case while she was being detained at
Scottdale, after she had give the Woods
| child I've, but last evening she had for
gotten all about 1t, and could give no
! information.
