LYNCHINGs AND CRIME.


It looks like grim irony, that at q
time when American society is being
narrowed In all directions by tales, In
the press and pulpit, Of the menace 10
the home, supposed TO exist in Utah, q
drama OF horror is enacted in one Of
our immaculate States, compared to
which the alleged cause OF the present
tumult Is as nothing.
In Kentucky some wretch committed
a crime, revolving In the extreme. This
was the signal for an entire COM
munity to become insane. a frenzied
mob seized the criminal and tortured
him to death, inalcting such mutila-
tions upon his body, as are practiced
only BY the lowest class Of savages.
And as II the thirst for the awful was
not quenehed by the spectacle Of
human being expiring in indescribable
agony In flames, the multitude scram-
bed for teeth and bones to keep as
souvenirs Women and children were
in the throng that looked for fragments
in the reeking ashpile.
II must be remembered that the mob
which, In this way, executed vengeance
did SO not to vindicate the law: nor TO
keep others from committing the crime
for which Coleman was burned at the
stake The criminal was In the hands
OF the officers and the law would GER
tainly have been carried out in his case.
And as for any deterrent influence OF
mob law It has been proved beyond a
doubt that there Is absolutely none.
Mob law breeds violence. II proyokes
crime. When the ordinary methods OF
justice are overruled, there remains but
brute force, and the country Of lynch
lngs consequently becomes the country
OF pistols, knives and feuds. In view
OF all the facts, there Is no ex-
PLANTATION Of the lynching but this,
that the mob yielded 10 precise
ly the same savage instinct az that
which prompted the miserable wretch
TO commit his crime. 1t was case
one brute being tortured TO death By
other brutes-murderers Staying an as
sassln. And what must the effects o!
such lesson be, when impressed upon
the minds OF children and the mothers
OF children! What about the sacred.
ness Of the American home? What
about American civilization?
The most dlscouraging feature Of the
entire proceeding is this. that the pro.
fessed ministers" Of the gospel are al.
most silent, when their church members
engage In such savagery, Some feeble
protests are recorded in the press, but
beyond that, there Is almost no effort
to stop the law-breaking that threatens
to become a national calamity. Why
are the ministers silent while blood
IL being shed unlawfully, and why arr
they lifting their voices against an evi
their own Imagination has unduly mag
nifed? How can they escape the re-
buke that once was hurled with IN,
power Of divine eloquence against thos,
who are s,raining at gnat? II Their,

American home, let some effort be mad,
