MURDER AND TREASON.

Apolocists Tor the revolving crime
OF lynching generally urge. as AN ex-
cuse, that the courtS do not mete out
fun Justice to certain fiends, but this
plea has no ground In the case OF the
mob murder that took place few days
ago at Chattanooga The mob at that
place not only committed murder. but
added contempt Of court--the highest
tribunal II the nation,
The facts were these A negro had
been tted and sentenced 10 death for
assault upon q white girl But the evil
dence seemed insufficient to those best
qualified to judge OF such things. In
fact the impression was very strong
that the legal proceedings were little
better than a farce. An application
vas made for writ OF habeas corpus
20 tie federal circuit court OF the dis
trict, but this was denied. The court,
however, intmated that an appeal to
the federal courts on constitutional
grounds WIS within the statutory
righta OF the defendant An appeal
vas Then made to the Supreme Court
Of the United States. Justice Harlan
granted the application and issued an
order staying the execution. and a day
later the full bench formally sanctioned
and Endorsed this action. Thus the
Court as a whole had assumed juris-
dlctlon and ordered the local author
tiles to refrain from carrying out the
sentence imposed by the state court
When the mob learned of this they
proceeded to the Jail, oyerpowered the
sheriff and his subordinates and
lynched the prisoner.
This as will be seen, Is an extraor-
binary case Contempt for law and
courts is becoming too common In
the country. Unless the murderous
mob leaders are taught lesson. others
may initiate them and believe they
can do SO with impunity. Lynchers
have often tramped upon the author
ity OF state courts, but this Is. perhaps,
the first time they have dared to defy
the u. 5. Supreme Court.

THE LAW WILL BE UPHELD,

Some serious Misunderstanding has
occurred about the reported offer OF
Governor Gooding of Idaho to the labor
unions OF the country. to receive dele
cations to Boise for the purpose OF In
terviewlng Orchard and Adams. and
listening to their confessions and i'm
plicatlons OF conspiracy to murder, on
the part of the men who are under in
dictment for completely in the staying
of former Governor Steunenberg. 1t
appears that no such invitation was
extended, but the Governor is willing
that the closest investigation shall be
had and that every opportunity shall
be afforded the labor organizations to
learn the facts. Also he stands pledged
to see that the accused have a fair trial.
OF course he Is In duty bound to do
this by virtue OF his office as the chief
Executive OF the State. But he Is per-
sonally interested IN the case. for the
enforcement OF the law and the vindi-
cation OF the honor Of the State which
Is involved IN the matter both
for the protection of its citizens from
assassination. and for the maintenance
of the good name OF the commonwealth
as an upholder OF justice and freedom
of the rights OF accused persons and
of the majesty and fairness Of the
courts.
Nothing that individuals charged
with crime can ask for in reason will
be denied the defendants. They will
have just as able lawyers, and facili-
ties to obtain witnesses, and opportunl-
ties to clear themselves as they may
require. and 1t is the height OF folly TO
think that any of the authorities in the
State OF Idaho desire to condemn iIno-
cent persons for the crime that has
startled the country and should be exc
Grated by all rlght-thnking people In
the land. There must be a fair and
full trial. and It must not be swayed on
the one hand by pre-judgment or aly
kind OF bias, nor on the other hand by
threats OF fanatics or mobocrstlc
spirit breathing defiance and anarchy

decision. The action OF the Senate In
this case Ia purely judicial, not legis-
lative. They are to decide on the law
and Constitution whether he is prop
erly member, and no urgency by any
one should have the least influence on
Senator What we think. or what
any other man or woman thinks as TO
Mr., Shoots right 10 a seat, should
have no effect with n senator. He must
judge the constitutional matter HIM
self, according TO his best Judgment
and should not I'm the least consider
an acre OF petitions from his State
The Christian Evangelist, published In
ST. Louis. cannot be accused OF favor
ing Senator Reed smoot or the Churcn
to which he belongs, Il has had some
very stringent articles ON Mormon
ism" showing It's antipathy to that
system and exhibiting no friendship FOR
the people who belong to It. But on
the question before the Senate OF the
United States It has the following to
say. which we believe Is coming to be
very generally entertained both by tho
secular and the religious press OF the
country:
I'VE are heartily In sympathy with
every effort to protect the aanctlty OF
the home and TO combat the Mormon
menace, but the sendin. Of appeals and
petitions to the senate for the expul-
sion Of Senator Smoot seems to us q
wholly improper use Of the right of pc
tltlon. The Smoot case II It Is to be
decided justly, must be decided upon
a basis of fact and upon that alone.
No responsible person has charged Mr.
Smoot with the practice OF polygamy
or bigamy. His case Is, therefore,
distinctly unlike that Of Brigham II
Roberts, the Mormon representative,
who was expelled from the House a
few wears ago The charge against
Mr. Smoot Is that his office as one of
the Board OF Apostles of the Mormon
Church renders him ipsO facto a con-
spiratOr against the laws ana govern
ment Of the United States. The Sem
ate Committee ON Elections has taken
great deal of testimony on this point,
and II Is preparing to take stu more.
Most OF US have our information OF
the subject chiefly from incomplete
newspaper reports OF the hearings OF
this committee. When the committees

on the case II win submit the matter
to the Senate, and the Senate. acting
as a jury, win pass judgment ON Mr..
Smoot In such case It Is no part
OF the jury's business to be guided by
the preponderance OF public opinion,
II must decide according 10 the facts.
In a murder trial public opinion Is
sometimes very strongly against the
prisoner at the bar. and with good rea,
son. But the cause Of justice would
not be served by bombarding the jury
with petitions to convict"

ceiyed even by the preachers who have

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

The expected impression upon the
United States Senate through the for
warding OF petitions signed by legions
Of religious women asking for the OK
pusion from that body OF Senator
Reed Smoot. does not seem TO have
been made TO the extent intended and
expected. Nor does the movement
appear to meet with that general en-
dorsement which was predicted,
Some OF the influential secular pa
pers have taken the matter up on the
constitutional side. and while they say
nothing against the right Of petition,
which no one denies, they recognize
the right OF Senators to act on their
own judgment and in the light of the
law, no matter how many petitions
may be presented TO swerve them from
that line OF conduct. Sharp criticism
was INDUCED IN by opposition papers
on the remarks made by two Senators
when presenting petitions from ladies'
in their respective states. But II is
generally conceded that those gentle
men simply expressed that which their
duty called Tor, seeing that they are
under oath to support the Constitu-
ton OF the United States and are
therefore bound to view the subject in
the light Of that Instrument
Some time ago we copied an ex-
cellent article on this subject from the
New York Independent, a very in
fluenual religious publication. We 40
tice that similar sentiments are ex-
pressed by some other religious pa
pors, that see through the folly OF
attempting to sway the lawmakers, of
the country by clamor. when they
should be guided by principle and by
the rules and regulations OF the aug
ust body Of which they are members,
We clip the following rs the closing
sentences of an editorial in religious
