THE COLORADO LYNCHiNG.

From the Springfield, Ill, Journal
Colorado has disgraced its name
once more and has perpetrated an
other lynChing of an innocent Negro
for raping an old woman. We dom t
believe he committed The depreciation
his protest TO the last establishes his
innocence. The old lady who ideat-
fled w. II. Wallace would have picked
out any Negro and accused him of as
sultlng her. The boy who climbed the
pole and threw the rope over, has
blackened his future and will be brand
ed as much degenerate as the poor
Ntgr the life of whom they sought.
1t is pleasing to note that the sheriff
and mayor of the Colorado town
used every available means to give
the accused protection but were over
powered and made to yield to the
wishes of the Inturiated cannibals
whose thurst for blood was not be
appe4sed by the better pleadings oI

THEIR ORIGINAL S1ANINGS.

Shrewd Snce signified evil or wicked.
Thomas Fuller uses the expression "a
shrewd fellow" meaning a wicked
man.
The word prevent" originally meant
nothing more than to go before. 1t is
used in this sense in several. places in
the Scriptures.
Prejudice was originally nothing
more than a judgment formed before
hand, the character of such judgments
being best indicated by the present
meaning of the word.
A saunterer is believed by some ETY.
molOgists to have originally signified a

There may be disagreement as to
the specific way in which these multi
flying laws may be met and defeated,

their authors, in other kind of legiSla
