Lynched by a Mob.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. l7.-John
Buckner, coal black, an ex.convict,
hangs dangling at the end of
rope as a penalty for his villainous
criminal aussaults yesterday upon
Mrs. A. Mungo, the wife of col
ored farmer, and Miss Allie Har-
rison, the pretty nineteen-year old
daughter of VIM. F. Harrison,
a prominent white farmer. The
assaults were committed within
one hour, and almost within
stones throw of each other, be-
tween Valley, Park and Man
chester, Mo. The hours run from
this city about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The lynching took place
about dawn this morning. A mob
composed of farmers in
the vicinity, marched across
the country to Manchester, where
the negro lay in Jail, awaiting re-
moval to the county jail at Clay
ton. After arriving at the Jail a
little time was wasted in getting
the prisoner away from his
guards, and firmly bound with a
rope about his neck and three
hundred shot guns and re.
volvers ready to empty their
contents into his worthless hide.
The March was again taken up
back to Valley Park, the scene of
his crime. He was carried, or
rather dragged, and there upon a
wagon bridge, near the scene of his
second crime, he was yanked
upon with a jerk that al
most, but not quite, broke
his neck, and for nearly twenty
minutes the mob watched his
writings as he slowly choked to
death. At last the body became
still. Then, with the unanimity of
platoon, regular volleys were
fired, which filled the dangling
corpse with lead. The lynchers
then dispersed.

House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Some
routine business preceded the re-
sumption of the tariff debate this
morning. The House then went into
committee, as whole, for the con-
sideration of the tariff bill. Pend
ing amendments were those fixing
the date on which the free wool
schedules should go into effect.
Morse, Republican, maintained
that the country had been carried
by the tariff reform party under
false pretenses, as shown by the
result Of the elections last fall,
and he contended that the tariff
should not be tempered with I'M
til the people had another chance
to express their opinion at a gen.
eral election. When the blow was
struck at the great corporations he
said it was blow as well to labor
ing men employed by those corpo-
rations. Payne's amendment to
the tariff bill to make free wool go
into effect October LIST 1898
was lost by a vote of 6S to l54.
JOhnstOn's amendment to have the
free wool clause of the tariff bill
go into effect Immediately on the
passage of the bill was carried by
a vote of l16 to 102. This was the
first defeat for the committee.

Keep the Brazilian Ports Open

Blue and Gray for January.
Notwithstanding all assertions
to the con trary, it is quite clear
that the Mello adherents repres.
ents royalistic tendencies, and that
the European diplomatic corps at
Rio favors the revolutionary fac
ton. The obvious duty of this
Nation is to support, as far as is
consistent, the cause of the Brazil
ian Republic, as represented by
President PeiXOto. Our CONNER
cial interests demand that this at
tempt to re.establish a monarchy
in Brazil shall be frustrated. Eng
land and Germany desire the sue
cess of Mello, the overthrow of the
republic, and the severing of the
commercial relations that are
gradually growing up betwee II
Brazil and the United States. AS
we pointed out, some months
since, the diplomatic and consular
service Of Europe controls, or at
tempts to control, the rich South
American trade, and no efforts will
be spared to prevent the United
States from gaining a foothold
there. This nation cannot take a
hand in the factional quarrels
of Brazil, and should the
Mello party prevail and estab-
lish a de factO government, sup
ported by the people, we cannot
consistently interfere. But until
this is done we must regard the
Mello party as rebels, and keep the
Brazilian ports open to our mer-
chantmen, even il we have to de-
stroy the insurgent navy to do it.
Now is good time to interpret the
Monroe doctrine literally, and to
serve permanent injunction upon
the European powers. In this the
administration will receive the full
support of all parties.

Reform in the Jury Room.

Blue and Gray for January.
Trial by jury has always been
more or less of farce, and is grad
ually becoming more so. No one
has ever explained exactly why
perfect unanimity is required of
jury when a majority, greater or
less, is allowed to decide all other
matters of contention. 1t is hard to
see why the majority rule may not
be applied In the jury room with
perfect justice. Less time and
money would be squandered on
worthless criminals if the present
customs were abolished. AS the
case now stands, it is COM
paratively easy for counsel to Sc
cure the necessary zone stubborn
man." whose power the law makes
absolute to defeat the wishes of
his eleven colleagues, and, perhaps
the ends of justice. All sorts Of
pretexts affecting merely one jury
man may undo weeks of work, and
cause the waste of much public
money. Only few days since,

the sudden real of feigned cit does
not matter which, insanity of one
of the jurors compelled an entire
re-trial, with great attendant costs.
Contingencies of this sort may
arise at any time, and are
not only expensive but clearly
detrimental to the administration
of justice.
A reform is also needed in the
rules for the selection of jurors. IT
is impossible to select a jury COM
posed of intelligent citizens to try
a case that has filled the public
prints without excepting men who
have already "formed opinions,
The test of moral integrity an
