unfortunately, a matter of public
notoriety that where attempts have
been made to try such parties, the
result has too often been miscar-
riage Of justice.
We therefore confess TO an M
feigned anxiety for the fate Of
society, If some more efficient re-
straint Is not placed upon this grow
ing tendency of individuals to
ignore the established courts of
Justice and to take the law into their
own hands upon every slight occa-
sion. We are confident that your
Honorable Body, in common with
all to whom the welfare of the State
is dear, must view with the deepest
solicitude, not only the present but
the future consequences if This state
of things Is allowed to continue nm
checked. immigration, which we
need to develop our great natural
resources. and to which, in some
respects we can offer such strong
attractions, will. so long as we APP
pear unable or unwilling to enforce
respect for law and obedience To its
officers, seek homes elsewhere: and,
since it is our laboring classes that
are most directly affected BY this
practical suspension of law. our
present industries upon which our
material prosperity almost wholly
depends, are in danger of being
seriously crippled. The prospect
that our laborers will he driven to
seek elsewhere the protection against
mob violence and lynch law which
they fail to receive here, thus ieav-
ing our large rice aud sugar planta-
tions untitled. is certainly no crea-
ton of fancy Even if facts were
not already at hand to Justify this
apprehension, such would be the
natural consequence of the instinct
of self-preservation.
But your Honorable Body cannot
but see that the moral consequences
are far more grave than these
material considerations. The seeds
5f long continued and desolating
future evil are now being sonn.
That reverence for the majesty and !,
authority Of law, which, in free
country like Ours, is the primary
guarantee Of social peace and order,
must necessarily be greatly weakened
ifsnot destroyed among the people.
Our youth, too, growing up III a
state of things in which law is dis
regarded under the impulse of indi-
vidual caprice, will become imbued
with loose and dangerous notions
concerning the inviolahility of
human rights and the sacredness Of
human life.
We therefore appeal to your
Honorable Body to enact such addi-
