Petersburg gather annually to watch
the breaking up of the ice, but on the
great rivers that flow southwark it often
happens that this process is accompa-

Perhaps ii is tor the change PRODUCED
by the melting of the snow and the
breaking up of the ice that Easter Is
celebrated with such transport by the
Russian people. There is fullness or

Mob Law and its Logical End.

Editor Herald:
Much has been recently said about
lynchings and mobs, but there are two
aspects of the case which seem to have
been overlooked.
1t is assumed apparently that these
mobs are composed mostly of good and
Jaw. abiding citizens who are goaded
into this desperate step by the laws
delay, or the fear that if the case is in
trusted to the courts the culpit may
defeat and escape justice.
AS a matter OF fact, and in almost
every instance, these mobs are com
posed of men by no means noted for
good citize aship, and largely reinforced
by thoughtless young men and boys,
attracted by the excitement.
1t Is a blood lust, pure and simple.
and by no means Indignation at the
crime, or fear that justice, sure and
swift, will not be dealt out by the
courts.
In so many instances relatives OF the
victim have joined the mob while half
crazed with sense Of wrong but the
cases are far more frequent where these

man joins mob, by his own act he de-
clares himself an enemy to the State,
and the mob itself is an act of war, and
to be dealt with as any other public
enemy.
Admiral Cervera is undoubtedly a
gallant sailor and personally most es-
Unable gentleman: but when he steamed
out of Santiago harbor with shotted
guns to attack our ships, no mistaken
ideas of fear that he would hurt good
man prevented Schley from shooting,
and shooting to kill.
Let it be once understood that mob
is an attack upon sovereign State,
and that states have the same right of
self-defense as individuals, and lynch
ings will decrease, for personal courage
is not a characteristic of mobs.
This growing conte apt for law must
be checked; it is far more serious
menace to the Republic than trusts
or aggregated wealth. So long as we
can preserve sane, self restrained and
patriotic citizenship, content to obey
the laws Of it's own making, trusts and

, relatives have vainly pleaded that the
law might take it's course.
And this savage lust OF blood grows
with the indulgence; at first lyDchings
seemed reserved for the most heinous
ard unspeaKable of crimes; later the
mob's jurisdiction has been extended to
cover other offenses, and now by logical
and inevitable steps it has become the
means of wreaking vengence for personal
grudges against humble citizens who
stand accused of no crime at all, but on
the contrary, bear peaceful and law
abiding regulations.
The inception and growth of mob rule
in an adjoining county is significant,
and bears out this statement
When state becomes unable to pro
tect its humblest citizen in his life,
liberty and propert~, it is rapidly ap-
preaching that point where it cannot
protect any right whatever, and an
archy is ar accomplished fact.
And there is another aspect 1T the
Gaze: the mob presumes upon the

officials to tahe life in defense OF de-
graded criminal who richly deserves
