MACK AND THE LYSCmEHs.

The vigorous action OF Judge Mack
in the Douglas county lynching case
will he endorsed by every citizen Of
Nevada outside the gang OF lawless
wretches who perpetrated the cow
ardly outrage i'll Genoa.
The Judge did not mince his
words when he denounced the man
ner in which the officials OF Douglas
cooperatcd with the murderers OF
Uber. These men, who willfully
violated their official oiths and be-
trayed the trust imposed in them by
the voters OF Douglas, are equally To
blame with the men who were en-
gagged i'll the lynching and should be
indicted rs accessories. This is the
plain English Of it and when Justice
is meted out to some OF the ring
leaders they will be taught to realize
that there is law i'll america as well
rs Europe and that American law
recognizes the right Of every man to
be tried 10y a jury before he is exc
cnted. The officials OF Douglas will
also be made to realize that when
they are elected to office and take the
official oath that they have some
thing to do beside drawing their sal
aries.
Since the affair the element that
aided abetted, and perpetrated the
outrage have endeavored TO Justify
their acts 10y threats. bluffs and

They will probably realize that the
English speaking residents of an

OF whom cannot speak the language
OF their adopted country and most
OF whom are not citizens.
Tho men nov constituting the
Grand jury OF Douglas are among

it. Judge Mack has shown the back

and he will be backed up by every
