TIE MOB AND THE OoURr.

LAwLEssNsss is on the increase and
state and national governments seem
powerless. The failure to enforce the
law with reference TO colored men
is causing q corresponding indifference
in dealing with white ones. The fol-
lowing explains itself:

the charge OF assault with intent to
murder. He was arraiRned for trial
this morning and soon after horsemen
surrounded the courthouse and detail

the proce sdiugs must stop.

A white woman at Atlantic City last
week refused the assistance of = col
ored man who plunged in the surf to
save her from drowning. White
batherc finally lrescued her. 1t was q
lucky thing for the colored man that
other were near her, for it is COM
mendable on her part that she did not
charge him with attempted criminal
assault and that the white men did not
lynch him.
The name Of the woman was ALICE

be Baltimore. She had been drinking
too frequently from the bottle OF race
prejudice.
