the St. Louis License Collector, the
cratic administration has been ''re-
ducing" taxation as follows /:

numbers, in 1899, before the Police
Bill was passed, to ST. 100000 for
1903. No wonder Governor Dock

We are glad to see such wide
and universal discussion Of the
lynching evil. We believe it will
do good. The Taylor murder in
Kansas City illustrates the evils Of
CONT delays, and now the Rudolf
Collins cases down in st. Louis is
giving additional force to it. There
is no question of the guilt of the
parties who killed the detective and
that the killing was done by outlaws.
Yet notwithstanding, time has so
run on that one has escaped and tn c
other is not yet executed, while costs
are piling up which the people have
to pay. The people DO not like to
pay taxes to clear we'll known Grim
mails any more than they care to
pay taxes for other wrongful pur-
poses. When il comes to paying
from s., 900 to $40, 600 ia taxes to
secure the conviction of a criminal,
the people have no taste for i, es-
pecially when they know il can be
done for the price of a rope and the
loss Of a few hours sleep. For
years and years we have imagined
we have seen the result coming.
We do not mean to apologize for
the mob but the mob cleaned out
Reno's in Indiana. when the courts
failed to convicI them. Judge Brew
er gives n OF the most effective
remedies for the mob spirit. IL Is
to let the criminal be tried on the
merits and then no appeal.

He was pension commissioner during
President C~leveland's first term and
is universally conceded to have
been about the best commissioner we
ever had. He was just TO the gov
eminent and liberal TO the old SOL
diers, and we never heard any one
accuse him Of wronging the govern
ment or the old soldiers. Out of
all the men who have held the Office
OF pension commissioner, he IS
with possibly one other) the only
one who could be elected to this
honorable position. Gen. Black
while pension commissioner, was
never accused OF twisting the law
all out of shape to wrong an old
soldier, nor of denying him his rights
under the law to Gave the govern
ment a few paltry dollars. He gave
the laws the Interpretation intended
BY a generous congress, and this
was always justice to the men who
