THE MONTGOMERY LYNCH1NG.

1t is exceedingly unfortunate that at the
meeting of colored men which was held
few nights ago the Iynching OF Sidney
Randolph by the Montgomery county mob
should have been treated as race cues
ton. To put it upon that plane belittles
its importance. 1t matters not whether
the victim of mob violence is white or black,
red or yellow, his murder is an offense not
against a race, or sect, or nationality, but
against the established order Of society
which should dominate all and the safe
maintenance of which overtops all oiEer
considerations. The lynching of Cooking,
who was a white man, was not one whit
more repreLensible than that OF Randolph,
who was coored. Each was murder,
pure and simple; it would be the most in
excusable euphemism to call any man en-
gagged in either affair anything but muir
derer, and II any of them is brought to
justice the highest penalty known TO the
law would be justly visited upon them.
There is not a scintilla OF evidence to
Indicate that the lynching of Randolph
was prompted by race hatred and prcju-
dice. On tue contrary. but little doubt
