What Mob Rule Leads To.

1t is not believed that any
sane person can read without dis
gust Of the act of that Maryland
mob which after kicking a negro
murderer TO death, buried the
body in swamp, returned the
next day, dug it up, and riddled
itwith bullets and finally burned
it after soaking it with oil. While
the corpse blazed the frenzied
humans did war dance around
the pyre.
The mere recital of this frenzy
of passion disgusts and nauseates.
The mental picture conjured by
narration Of the gruesome de-
tails is hideous and ghastly and
causes wonderment that men can
sink so to the verge of savagery
Yet this orgy is but the logical Sc
quence Of mob rule. From an or
derly lynching 10 the wanton re-
velry of crapulent brutishness
of the Maryland affair is bui q
natural retrogression. The one
is to be traced TO the other. Both
are begotten by a disregard for
the law, which is mans Frotecti-
on from primeval lusts, and to a
common cause both are 10 be as
