THE RAILROADS WIN.

Justice Barnard Of the District Of o.
lumbia Supreme Court yesterday de.
eded that the District commissioner
must sign the certificate authorizing the
payment by the secretary OF the treas
nry to the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company of 81.
500, 600 toward the cost OF the Union
station.
The court directed that q writ Of man.
dsmus be Issued compelling the commits
sioners to sign the certificate.
The railroad company demanded the
certificate some months ago, but was ad.
vised by the commissioners that they
would decline to issue the certificate IN
til the subststion in south Washington
had betn completed and the superstruc-
turs of the New Jersey avenue bridge
placed in position. The company brought
proceedings in mandsmus, and hesr
ing wss held last Thurcdsy.
The court adopted the argument OF
the railroad attorneys that all the work
required by the act to be done has been
completed and that the words, connect
Jog liuea," used 10 the statute, cannot be
stretched to cover the lines complained
of by the commissioners, snd the
removal of which they suggests ID
should be assured before the certificate
was used.
This is a remarkable decision, as nc
sub-station in south Washington has
yet been built. Congressmsn Csrliu was
instrumental In holding up the money,
but the railroad influence was too pc.
tential. The commissioners will appeal.
Police today are searching for Mary
Moore, who dressed as man, used 9

at Sargent, KY, and freed her husband
Charles Moore, who WAS held for murder

prisoners held for lesser Crimes, also es-
capped.

statements reveals some facts
that should bring us to serious
thought. It appears that the
crime usually associated with
lynching in the public mind had
comparatively small place among
the causes of this type Of law
lessness in the last year. II the
statement from which we get IN
formation be correct, many
lynchings were not the result Of
rape; some were for such COM
paratively trivial things as non
payment of debt and fighting.
And at least two persons. one OF
whom was a woman, were lynch
ed for no other reason than that
they were related to the real
criminal.
There is terrible significance
in such facts. The logical and
necessary result Of defiance OF
law is appearing: the wrath lot
the mobsthat was once believed
to be the avenger of the wrong
of women, is becoming a wilo
and senseless menace to all con
stituted authority. Such result
was and is inevitable. The Law
has, in the final analysis, but ont
guarantee of authority: it lie
in a certain attitude of respec
and obedience in the mind of tn
individual citizen. Destro.
this attitude at any point, il
any man, and all law, in som
degree, loses its regnanc,
over him. Arouse him stuff

senseless wrath. Before reach
