far less advantages than the South ern States, have been built up at the expense of the South, and just when we were beginning to hope that Arkansas was living down her past name, (which was never be- slowed justly or truly), another out rage is Haunted in the faces of peo- pie who know no better than to be- lieye the statements of newspaper correspondents more gifted with . riotous imagination than love of truth.
 The action of the correspondent of the Gommercial-4ppeal was in marked contrast to that Of the local correspondents of theSt. Louis Giobe- Democrat and Republic.

.SENSA TIONAL
CORRESPONDENT.

CORRESPONDENTS.
 Every Arkansan who loves his State and pease and order, who has a regard for the truth and dislikes unadulterated lying, and who reads the Memphis Commercial Appeal, felt deep sense of humiliation and shame yesterday as he perused the contents of that paper. On the first page of the Commercial Appeal was a sensational dispatch from Pine Bluff, under we'll displayed and box car head letters, detailing the hanging of one negro at Kendall for the murder of Johnson, followed by the statement that six other ne groes connected with the affair were in iail at Rison, and Git is the gen eral opinion that before tomorrow morning all six will be suspended between terra firma and the clouds.
 As result of this sensational and unwarranted dispatch, the tele- graphic wires were kept hot with messages from foreign newspapers asking for particulars. Now, there never was any ground for tfis sen sational dispatch. Instead of there being s'riot at Risona everything was quiet at the time the dispatch was sent. with no indications what ever of any disturbances. All of this could have been ascertained by an expenditure of % cents for . telephone message to Rison, but in- stead of obtaining correct informa- tion the local correspondent of the Commercial Appeal contented him self with the free exercise of his riotous imagination and perpetrated an injustice upon the people oi Cleveland county and islander upon the civilization of Arkansas.
 in the name of the people Of Ark ansas, we ask when is this business to cease? For years the State of Arkansas and it's people, civilization and institutions have been tfe un- willing victims of sensational and lying newspaper correspondents, who at a penny line and for the sake of personal gain, magnify the slightest disturbance into q trace war or some kind Of a horrible crime, shocking alike to civilization and Christianity.
 It is such things as these that prevent Arkansas from leading in the van of progress among the sis. terhood of commonwealths and de prive her of the position to which she is rightfttlly entitled, by reason Of her resources, in the great galaxy of States. Arkansas is inviting i'm migration, but with such outrages Haunted in the faces of home-seekers, they will not come. They are lead to believe that human life, property aud society are unsafe in the South. In this manner Western States, with

MOB LAW.
 There are times when the people rise above the law and inflict pun ishment without appeal to the courts. But this extraordinary power should be exercised only in cases attended with atrocious cir cnmstances. There is one crime which is almost universally attend ed with death. This crime the crime against woman--is punished with death at the hands Of the mob, regardless of color or country. This fact applies to the North as well as to the South, as was strikingly illus trated in the North, recently, by the lynching of negro at Urbana, Ohio, and the killing Of white tramp by a lot of infuriated farm CTS near Chicago In each instance the culprit was guilty of the name less crime. and in each instance the punishment was the same. This goes to show, as Bill Arp would say, that @human natur' is the same the world oyer, so far as hearin from. And this is trib- ute to our civilization It shows the high regard held for the saneti- ty of our women, and no nation has ever prospered that has not reyer- enced and respected women,
 But it is to be doubted if a resort to mob violence is ever justified as a fitting punishment for any crime outside of the one indicated above. One can imagine, and there have been instances of murders so hein- ous ard so atrocions that lynch law was justified, but these are the ex- captions that prove the rule. There fore, as a general thing, mob law is not justified except in revenging and fighting, in q measure, the wrong done an innocent and virtu ous woman. But the exercise Of mob violence, even in such cases, k demoralizing, in measure, Tn its results, and brings the public to hold the law in too light a regard. This leads the people to inflct bru- tai mob punishment where 1t is not deserved The lynching of negro in Cleveland county last Monday night for the murder of T. T. John son was utterly unjnst:fied and un- justiliable. First, there was a doubt as to- the guilt of the negro in question; second, evidence is not lacking that the white men created the disturbance. and, third, the white men should have known better than to be frolicking with negroes. It is very easy thing for row to arise between drunken white mar and an ignorant negro. Whenever whiskey and ignorance come in con tact there is going to be trouble. Whiskey and ignorance met at q negro picnic near Kendalls mill last Saturday, and the result was as usual. But the fight should not have been followed by the lynching The murder of Johnson was not such an one as would justify mob law. The courts of Arkansas are compe- tent and adequate to punish in such cases, aud the leaders and movers of 1 the mob would have reflected credit upon themselves and the civiliza- ton and laws of their State had they relegated the punishment of l the murderer or murderers to the courts of our land.

Connecticut Avenue Extension.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1t seems to me that the proposed change
of the line of Connecticut avenue is not
only unnecessary, but is injustice to
the taxpayers of the District, as the pro-
posed amendment requires that the cost
shall be paid wholly from the revenues of
the District.
The latest proposition is to appropriate
$2OOOOO out of the District taxes or rev.
enues. but those best Informed say it will
cost much more than that. The only rea-
son that 1 have seen assigned for 1t was
that stated by Mr.. Newlands viz: That
when he and Senator Stewart invested a
large sum In the syndicate lands out there
they understood or expected that the ave-
nue. would be run on straight line.
Admitting this to be so. 1 submit that is
no reason why the taxpayers of the Dis
trict should be put to that expense 1t
certainly is no reason why the revenues of
the District should be thus expended, when
they are SO much needed for things which
are vital to the health and prosperity of
the District, as. for instance, the early
completion of the sewer system, schools,
police, fire engines and similar things
which are necessities.
AS a taxpayer, 1 protest against this ex-
penditure Of the District revenues for spe-
cial benefitss at the sacrifice of more i'm
portant public interests, and / sincerely
hope that the House will not agree to the
amendment for these reasons. or. if done,
that it will not be taken wholly from the
District revenues. TAXPAYER
