LYNCH Law AND ITS CURE

The recent lynchings at Richlands
again call attention to fault in the
operation of the laws and place where
tue remedy should be applied. There
Ut more lynchings in the South than in
the North because the particular crimes
for which lynch law is applied occur
more frequently in the South than else.
where. We refer to violence against
women.
Tle crime for winch four men were
lynched at Richlands was tho unp:o.
voked and murderous assault against
two men for the purpose of robbery. 1t
is useless to hold up the hands in hor-

stances the sentiment of e large m jorisy

Lynching springs from a desire to

Itself What, then, is the remedy?
Make the law flexible enough to act
speedily in case Of necessity. Let the
next legislature pass an act whereby, in
case of the commission of a heinous
crime and the apprehension of the sus-
pected criminal, the Judge of the court
of immediate criminal Jurisdiction may

an adjoining county, and, in case an in
dictment is found, proceed at once, be-
Tore jury similarly drawn from an
adjoining county, to try the indicted

should provide for immediate punish

ny drawing the juries from an adjoin-
ing county the danger of preiudiced
frials will be avoided, and with careful
judicial procedure not one. tenth as
many innocent men would be punished
as under the lynch law, which gets the
wrong man about once in n hundred
Zines.
But this is the only way lynch law

Our Mineral Exhibit.

| PRESCOTT, Nov. 5.-I Editor JouR.
 NAL-MINER. T hand you herewith
 a copy of Arizona" the official
 territorial publication at the World s
 Fair By the list of awards, you
 will please note that the Yavapai County exhibit received nine awards
 as against ten for the entire balance
 of the territory. As the Arizona
 exhibit of minerals was conceded by all to be the finest collective min eral exhibit at the Fair, the above proportion of awards would indicate that Navapai County possesses the best mineral ranges in the United States. Of this 1 am personally convinced from the reception granted the somewhat contracted exhibit l was enabled to make dur ing the short time allowed me. Had | been in the field from the time other county commissioners com menced collecting 1 could have had an exhibit very much more exten- slve, as well as more general in its character, as several Of our best dis trictS Were not represented by a single sample.
 The complete exhibit from Yava- pai County as it appeared at the Worlds Fair, with the exception of the samples from the United Verde mines, will be returned to Prescott from Chicago shortly, and it is my l earnest desire that this cabinet of | Navapai ores be placed on exhibi- tion at the Mid-winter Fair to be | given in San Francisco, ,commencing January lst, after which the exhibit | to be returned, and placed upon exhibition, either in the santa Fe depot at Ash Fork, or some where in Prescott. The results )f our exhibit at the Worlds Fair Ire already making themselves felt. financially, in our county, and tn, benefits to be gained by a good ex llblt at the Mid-winter Fair are in. There should be a trong effort made on the part of he citizens of Yavapai County to 'rovlde the means for completing he collection and placing it on ex- lbltlon Tn San Francisco during he fair there. We have the banner lineral exhibit of the United States. s our awards show, and this collec- on, which cost so much, and done much for us, should not be all wed to be broken up and lost.
