The lynching of Henry James, the
alleged rapist in Albemarle county
last week, is another example of what
may be expected by negroes who COM
NIT Outrages on white women. They
are as certain to be hung as they are
caught. One of the reasons why such
men are not allowed trial by jury is
that on the trial the woiuan is con
PEELED to undergo an ordeal before the
court and jury, which is so terri le
and revolving to the sensibilities, that
the public becomes shocked, and to
prevent this is one of the objects Of
quick retribution. So soon therefore
as the perpetrator has been identified
so soon does his doom seem to be seal
ed. Another argument which has
much force is, that the perpetrator
has forfeited his right to life, that he
is then classed as a brute, wild
beast, an outflow, that anybody may
kill, and that the Hue and cry"
have been raised as soon as the crime
is known and no man has been guilty
of an offense who rids society of such
creature. But mob law is dangerous,
it has about it results which are to be
dreaded, and breeds an infection which
amounts often to contagion in the
commission of crime. In Barbour
county, W. Va, some years ago
society known as Red men" formed
to rid the community of class of
petty offenders who could not be
reached by any law then in force. The
RED Men, went to the houses OF tile
offenders, caught them, administered
stripes, tar and feathers, or such
other punishment as they thought tit
and warned the offenders away. But
the laaC makers soon began themselves
to break to law in other respects, they
began to steal and commit crimes
which so appalled, the community that
detectives were brought in, and when
the truth flashed on the community, it
stood agast, for men who before Rad
stood at the top, were found to be
amongst the leaders. Special laws
were passed for it's obliteration and at
last the mob was broken up. 1t is i'm
possible to condone the offense for
which the man in question passed to
his doom, but there are many who
fear that the Identification in this
case was incomplete, and that ven
geance might have been visited upon
the wrong party. We trust this is
not so, and that the real culprit was
the person who met the untimely fate
at the hands of the incensed people of
our neighboring county. There is one
sure way to end such trouble and that
power is in the hands of those who
commit such crimes. Let them cease
their crime and lynching will cease,
not before.

Mr. Yast i,eclines 10 RIM.

In city paper yesterday Mr.. Yost
in a-card bade farewell! TO the candida
cy for Congress which has caused him
50 many heartburnings, SO many hopes
and fears, and last Saturday so much
disgust and modification. It is usu
ally the province of others to write
ones obituary and preach his funeral
sermon, but in this instance the de-
ceased has seen fit to perform both
functions, and high on the shaft are
inscribed by him, the Dingley Bill, and
beneath it other acts of great political
foresight and broad craftsmanship.
A vein OF sadness runs through the
epitaph which is pathetic, but some
how as deeply sorry as we are that the
country will no longer have the bene-
fit of his services, we somehow feel that
the resolution to quit was the out
growth of the very CALLING defeat met
with by him in the court house last
Saturday, more than desire to return
to the pursuit Of business, which his
faithful efforts as our representative,
haYe, according to his epitaph, SO much
prospered.

Let us have Peace.

Now that Santiago has fallen we
should have speedy peace. There is
a far better chance for Spain to OBJ
tain reasonable terms now than she
may ever have again. We see that we
have been fighting for the freedom Of
a worthless people. Our soldiers have
such distaste for the Cuban Patriots"
that they are almost a stencil in their
nostrils, and will become more and
more so as we become better acquaint-
ed with them. Some have already
been shot by our soldiers for pillaging
and looting their tents whilst the boys
were in the field. There is a feeling
of sympathy pervading many people
of this country for the Spaniard. He
has been found brave, in fact our
army ran up against all it wanted
when it met him on land in the trench
es about Santiago. They found the
Spaniard did not stampede at the first
shot, and that in all respects he was
far above the Cuban Patriot" for
whom we were inYeigled into fight
| ing. There is strong feeling just
now in this country that we are fight
ing war of aggressism, that we are
taking from the Spaniard that which
has belonged to him since this country
was discovered without due provoca-
ton or excuse, the same feeling which
pervaded Gen. Grant when he was in
Mexico. and saw our splendid army
crush and destroy the weak and I'M
trained, but valorous armies Of that
country. He had no heart in that war.
although he did all he could to bring
about victory to our arms, and said
ever afterwards that he was ashamed
of the part he took in it, as well as
sorry for the conquered. This war is
much the same as to the contending
forces. and it is no pleasure to proud,
brave and strong people like we, to
override and kill weakened people
like the Spanish. 1t is therefore de-
voutly hoped that Spain, from whom
the overture must come, will see that
now is the time to treat for peace, and
that the United States will meet her
half way and a cessation be put to the
shedding of blood, the exposure to yell
low fever, the taxes and all the long
retinue of calamities which follow in
the wake of war.

First Fall for Hackman.

On last Saturday Mr.. Jacob Yost and
Mr. Turner K. Hickman, opponents
Tor Republican Congressional honors,
had a wrestling bout, ''catch as catch
can," in the court house. The strug-
gle was fierce. In the set to Hackman
got an under holt which Yost could
never break. They went round and
round, the perspiration dripping from
each and the crowd looking on with
the deepest interest. At one juncture
the willy little politician Jakey made a
trip and got Hackman's leg SO twisted
up that he could have thrown him flat
of his back, but the young attorney
who has been in matches of this kind
before, by a great bit of sleight and
quick action disentangled his leg, and
got his feet again. Then Jakeys holt
tore loose, and he was winded badly
in getting a new one, and the second
hold was not as good as the first.
Jakey tried the "Nelson lock" and
several other illnesses, but Turner
seemed to be on his guard and invari-
ably would foil him. At last the crowd
got close up around the contestants,
and the excitement waxed fierce. The
friends of each applauded and encour-
aged his man, and the betting was
about even, but it was plain to be seen
that the little Congressman was hav-
ing his hands full and was breathing
heavily. Just then Turner picked the
Congressman up and threw him in the
air, but he adroitly turned his body SO
that his feet would have struck
squarely on the floor as the cat falls,
but, (no. this is What rhe Congress
MAN ciain5) SOME If the coloEed
members Of the audience who sided
with Turner. put their feet in it and
tripped Jakey, and he fell hat of his
back and Turner held him there, and
the fall was awarded to Hackman.
1t was funny to see them when the
contest was over Hickman looked
fresh and ready for another bout, but
he had evidently been kept busy. He
was perspiring from every pore. he had
torn his vest and lost his collar, few
scratches were visible about his hands,
whilst MI. Yost was entirely out of
breath, wet with perspiration, his
trowsers split, one shoe gone and his
back full of dust where Hackman had
him do WI. At least that is what they
who saw it tell US, we missed the
match and can only speak from hear
saw
