The Ahearn act, one of the most ex-
traordinary jobs ever got through the
New York Legislature, has been de-
clared unconstitutional, and Doodle all
dermen and other city officials subject
ed to Investigations who have escaped
conviction will have to go without the
compensation which they had been
promised for their injured honor. This
law was very comforting to rascals
who had been forced out of their Jobs
or otherwise annoyed by courts, legisla-
tive committees or counsel, and the
number of claims filed threatened to
rob the city of several million dollars.

There has been another extensive
Negro hunt in Georgia. A woman is
said to have been assaulted by two Ne
grOes at SsffJld on July 20. Up to
July %, I'VE Negroes had been lynehed
on account of this crime. and several
other deaths were likely to follow.
The custom in these cases seems to be
to extort confessions from the perpe-
traitors Of the crime when caught, and
then to hunt down and kill sll Negroes
implicated by the criminals testimo-
ny. Heaven knows what degree Of
Justice or injustice is done
At such time the widest and most
improbable tales seem to find credence
and when the killing is all over, and
denial is made that any Of the men
killed were guilty of anything. it is
impossible to prove the denial There
is no machinery for proving q mans
guilt after you have killed him. 1t
has beer asserted repeatedly, and Is
very widely believed, that Sam Hose,
who was roasted in Georgia last spring
Was guilty OF no worse crime than kill
ing q man in self-defenee and as for
Strickland the Negro preacher who was
killed ct the same time, the charges
against him were improbable, to say
the least.
Now it will be asserted that there
was no assault committed at Saffold,
and that the gang of Negroes who
were said to be accessories were inno-
sent. There will be no record of their
guilt, no recorded testimony, nothing
to show for their taking of but pistols,
ropes, and scalps. Lynching is surely
very unsatisfactory. There is q strong
feeling against it now in the South,
and here's hoping that it will grow
