way must be found to puta stop to these
outbreaks of mob violence. No judicial
system ever devised by man can withstand
these assaults. 1t must be weakened and
brought into contempt and consequently
made useless. If public sentiment cannot
be aroused against lyEchings sufficiently
to prevent them. other means must he tried
Tue horrible sordidness of the people of
Charles county, Nd, points out a remedy
At the last session of the Louisiana legisla-
ture law was passed which imposes upon
the county in which lynching takes place
a penalty of SIS, 900. for the benefit of the
nearest living relatives of the dead man..
and also inflicts upon the sheriff in whose
bailiwick it occurs the forfeiture Of his
office. Since the enactment of this law
there has been a marked falling off in
lynchings in Louisiana.
Were such a law as this in force in Mary
land. tits safe TO sa y that the Charles county
people would have at least compared the
cost Of a trial with the fine of So. 900, and
probably Cooking would have been given a
chance to make a defense before court and
jury When the Maryland legislature gain
meets it would do well to ponder that
Louisiana law, using all efforts in the mean
time, however, to bring the Charles county
lynchers to justice.

there are no specific charges Are
there general charges" If so, OF what ma
ture? Neither is there anything, accord
ing to the president OF the school board,
involving either Mr.. Sites character" or
his scholarship" What, then, is involved?
Clearly Mr.. Sites, the patrons OF the
Eastern High School, and the public gen.
orally are entitled to know.
The board of public school trustees has
dictatorial powers in the appointment and
dismissal OF teachers. A teacher is not
assured of his or her position for more tina d
year. AT The end Of the year for which
he or she has been appointed, the board
may drop his or her name from the list
without notification or explanation. But
that principle of fair play which is an es-
secure for Mr.. Sites an opportunity to know
who his accusers are, and Of what they ac-
cuse him, and to refute those accusations
If he can. Perhaps the board is justified
in removing him; if so, no harm can be
done in letting all the facts be known.
But if the board refuses to give any reason
for its action, the people will be compelled
to believe that a IL is not as it should be.
The evening times., 1896-06-29

There is something very singular in the
methods of the board OF school trustees with
reference 10 the proposed dismissal OF
Mr.. c. NJ. Sites principal of the Eastern
High School. This gentleman, it appears.
is 10 be suinInarily dismissed, in spite OF
the protests Of teachers and ma jority
of the parents, whose children have been
under his care No definite charges have
been preferred against him; all his in
sistence upon this and upon a fair op
portunity for him orefute them hasbrought
as reply merely fla denial OF this funda-
mental proceeding OF any action that may
finally result in the discharge Of man
from responsible and hcRorable position.
The only satisfaction Mr.. Sites has been
able TO get from President Whelpiey, of the
school board. has been a statement that his
removal was represented TO he in the in
terest of the pupils of the Eastern High
School, and the expressed wishes of the
charges against you. and nothing whatever
that involves either your character or
scholarship"
In view of the fact that out of 800
of the patrons of the school, $50 have
signed a petition asking for Mr.. Sites
retention, it would seem that his removal,

LYNCH1NG MUST BE STOPPED.

More or less public indignation is always
aroused by a iyncbing, not only in the State
where it occurs, but throughout the coun-
try, because people recognize the fact tha.
such lawlessness undermlpes the very foun-
dations of society in that it is continual
menace to peace and order. and the regular
course of justice. 1t is safe to say that no
lynching has ever called forth as much and
as strong condemnation as that of Cooking
the other morning at Port Tobacco. There
should be no failure to detect the guilty par
ties and bring them to trial. They can be
found, for all arrangements were made
openly by well-known citizens of the
county, and the fact that lynching had
been determined upon was generally dis
cussed for q day or two before the dis.
graceful affair came off. What makes this
lynching particularly outra gcous is the
circumstance that 1t was not the result of q
sudden outburst of popular passion, not the
taking Of revenge for some specially re-
puisive crime, but the outcome of deliber-
ate discussion, and that the ayowed motive
was the eagerness OF the people of the coun-
| ty to save themselves the expense Of trial.
This, in face of Cocking's persistent denial
of his guilt on the one hand, and the abso-
lutte certainty OF his punishment il found
guilty on the other.
