A THREAT FROM LUNENBURG.

The murder of Mrs. FAUST, an aged
white lady of Lunenburg County, Va,
has led to the arrest of two colored
men.
The evidence against them is not suf-
ficient to hold them forty-eight hours.
and yet they are held,
The intention of the good people of
Lunenburg seems Co be to hunt around
to find the guilty party and if he can
not be found, to hang the men who are
not guilty.
But the most remarkable declaration
of defiance was the notice to the Cover
nor of Virginia, that they would hang
two confessedly innocent men, if state
troops were sent into the county.
This shows the state of lawlessness
existing in this county. We know from
bitter experience the intolerance of
these people The murder of Mrs. LUCY
JANE POLLARD, the accusation against
SOLOMON MARABLE, PoKEY BARNES,
MARY ALTERNATELY and MARY BARNES
are vividly remembered by the people of
the commonwealth.
Gov. CHARLES T. O'FERRALL had
nerve enough to do his duty, and Gov.
A. j. MONTAGUE seems to come from a
stock that is equally as fearless and in
every respect as prompt as was the
brilliant son of the Old Dominion.
When Lunenburg County again at
tempts to go into the business of hang
ing innocent people, the city of Rich
mond will be heard from and even more
trouble will be experienced in their ef-
forts to carry out their bloody designs.
The murderer of Mrs. FAUST should be
hanged, but the lawful authorities must
do it.

LYNCHED IN MISSOURI.

MISSOURI furnishes the latest horrible
lynching. The murder took place Sun
day night at New Madrid, Mo. 1t seems
that Richard & Pringle's Negro Minis
trels gave an entertainment Saturday
night, February 10Th, and during the
performance certain Negro-hating white
men made an attack on the colored mu-
sicians.
One of the ministries ON the stage
opened fire on them, Several persons in
the audience are said to have been
slightly injured.
The colored men retreated to their
private car, which was at once sur
rounded by armed men. No further
violence is said to have been done at
that time, but the entire troope was put
in Jail.
AS is usual in such cases, the name of
the colored man was discovered and he
was taken out Sunday night and lyuch-
ed.
Several of the other ministries were
horribly beaten. To hang man upon
such trivial pretext and without judge
or jury is simply awful.
We cannot see any difference in dying
without having committed an offense to
justify the punishment and dying after
having carried one of the lynchers with
him to the other world.
While the colored man was shooting
he might as well have aimed true and
then have died for it.
These lynchings, with death all on
one side are becoming monotonous. Let
colored men defend themselves to the
death and go shouting home to glory, or
TO --, the other place.

A caucus of the Republican members
of the national House of Representa-
tives was held last Monday night and
the following resolution unanimously
agreed upon and adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this caucus that the Committee on Rules
report resolution as a substitute for
those now pending in said committee
providing in substance for a select COM
mittee TO be appointed by the Speaker,
to consist of eleven members, whose du-
ty it shall be and who shall have full
and complete power and authority 20
investigate and inquire into the validity
OF election laws and the manner of
their enforcement in the several States
and whether the right 20 vote of male
inhabitants of any of the States twenty
one years old, being citizens of the I'M
tied States, Is denied or in any manner
abridged except for crime, and such
committee shall report Its investigations
at as early "A date as practicable"
This work completed, the caucus ad
journed. There is now pending in the
House the Crumpacker resolution,
which provides for the reduction of tho
representation in all states which has
abridged the right of suffrage.
It is urged that this is the preliminary
step TO summary action in the premises.
One thing we do know is, that it has caus
ed the unconstitutional Constitution
al" Convention to change its programme
for the disfranchisement Of the Negro
in Virginia.

THAT WILLIAMSBURG CASE.

WILLIAM JOHNSON, colored, was ar
rested Feb'y II, 1902 at Williamsburg,
va. upon the charge of attempted Grim.
inal assault.
The white girl was of poor pare ntage
and was on her way at about $50 o'clock
in the morning to the knitting mill.
She said the colored boy spoke to her
az she was going down the street. He
sold her to wait and go with him. He
did not touch her or offer any indignity.
She claimed to have been greatly
frightened and ran into nearby house.
The boy ran too. WILLIE BADKIN,
white ran Up to the coloIed youth and
kicked him. The boy ran off, dropping
his hat as he did so.
On this testimony WILLIAM JOHNSON
was arrested, and carried before BAD
K!Ss, the white man who promptly iden-
titled him.
This would seem to be conclusive
evidence but as is often the case in the
Southland, white lady and gentleman
testified that at the time JOHNSON was
alleged to have insulted the white girl
ne was in his room.
Moreover the hat which was found did
not belongto JOIN SON. This disposed of
the case and JOHNSON was released. In
y moment of excitement there was great
danger of having life forfeited for a
crime which had never been committed.
Further investigation also proved that
no attempt had been made to criminal
" assault the white girl.
This is another strong reason for the
supremacy of the law. There can be no
excuse for the lynching of the colored
znan in the Southland upon any charge,
fOT white juries are generally ready to
7sgally execute him, be he guilty or in
nessnt and whether the crime be helm
ssNs or trivial.
Many an innocent colored man has
