The Brookhaven lynching.

There is no good to come of
censure, elimination or criticism.
Whenever a black brute violates
the person of a white woman, he
ought to be hung, and he will be
hung if white men can lay their
hands upon him. He forfeits his
right to live-his right to the
protection of the law-he de-
serves to be treated only as a
mad-dog or a wild beast. He
ceases to be a human being, and
becomes the most monstrous OF
beasts. 1t is a great pity that
when one of these morally mis-
hapen things are caught, that he
cannot be taken by the people
and disposed of before the
officers of the law apprehend
him. The deliterious effect of
an occurance like the one at
Brookhaven a few days ago, is
the contempt for the court and
for the law, that it breeds. The
court had been called to sit in
special session, the grand jury
summoned, and everything in
readiness to give the beast a
trial according to the forms of
law. The governor had taken
the precaution to have the
prisoner escorted to Brookhaven
by a military guard. But the
white people of that community
were so enraged that they would
not permit the law to take it's
course. A trial by the courts
was showing to this beast more
consideration than he was en-
titled to. So the people took the
law in their own hands, over
powered the military, and visited
condign punishment upon this
devil in human form, who had
blighted the life of a sweet young
woman. I wish the matter had
been left to the courts, and yet |
have not one word of censure for
the loving father of the young
woman assaulted, who rushed in
and broke through the military
line to sink his pocket-knife into
the breast of the destroyer of his
home. I would have done the
same thing, so would you if you
are a genuine white man. |
imagine how this father felt
when confronted with the pos
sibility that his daughter, 50 ir-
reparably wronged was soon to
be called upon to confront a gap
ing mob, and tell to the court and
the jury the awful STORY Of the
outrageous crime penetrated up
on her. He did no more than
any other father would have
done, and | think the only mis-
take he made was not being
properly armed so that he might
have inflicted upon the demon
the punishment that was after
wards inflicted by the mob. To
taose who are disposed to cen
sure this father and his friends,
let them imagine themselves in
their places. Think of the sad
ness and the shame and the
sorrow that came into that home
as the result of this brute's lust.
When confronted with such a
situation, so painful and so try
ing, [ always recollect The

raw soldiers saved the day.
Meanwhile what of this fresh
blot upon the fair fame of the
south?"
'Ethieally it is wrong to lynch
a negro or anyone else for crime
or anything else. The law is
there for that.
But it is to be remembered
that the lawis but a larger crys-
talization of men and their con-
yictions, and it is the basis of the
criminal Jurisprudence of all ma
tons and all times that the pun
ishment must be proportional to
the crime. .
THE white men of the Black
Belt Of the South, everything all

of the law which Is propertioned

crime.
Morally, the white men of

| nected with the time he went up into
Maine to be the best man at the we'd
ding of the daughter of Dingley, the
tariff apostle. Gaines got up there on
time, all right, but the bridegroom
missed the train and the wedding had
to be postponed until the following
night, Gaines did not propose to waste
any time, so he went down town, hired
hall for the evening, called at a
printing office and ordered a thousand
posters stuck up over town. These
posters read: Free Trade! Free
Trade! Free Trade! Down with the
protection of monopolies. Come out
out tonight and hear the gospel of
tariff reform expounded by that cham
pion of the people, the brilliant young
statesman from Tennessee, John Wes-
ley Gaines. Admission free. Seats re-
served for ladies'. The band will be

Then Gaines hired the town band
that evening delivered to a packed
house one of the strongest anti-pro-
lection speeches ever made in the state
of Maine. He made hit with the peo-
pie, but it is said that Mr.. Dingley
never did appreciate the joke. He and
Gaines were really the only two who
never did see the joke of it.

Washington, September 5.-There is
little indication that the silver-tongued
Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, will be
heard on the hastings this campaign
Since he fell out of the senate and into
the Isthmian Canal Commission, with
headquarters in the Canal Zone, he has
Blackburn was great campaigner in
his day, and there was time when it
was hard to keep him from speaking.
1t is related of him that he was once
present at hanging in Kentucky, and
in those days a hanging was looked
upon as a public holiday. 1t was a
public performance, and was attended
by all citizens, men, women and chill
dren, and the farmers, with their hired
/ ,nds and families, drove in from miles
around. There was a great crowd
When the condemned man was asked
at the last moment If he had anything
to say, he shook his head negatively,
whereupon, Blackburn, mounted the
platform and said:
"Mr. Sheriff, if the gentleman con-
cedes his time, desire to make few
remarks on the political issues of the
day. and launched forth into a speech
that held his great audience for an
hour and half. The sheriff proceeded
with the hanging, but the assemblage
took no interest in it. They all pre-
| ferred to hear Blackburn.
Another old campaigner who will
probably not take much part in the
campaign this year, "Old Figgers"
Grosvenor, of Ohio. Like Blackburn
he was once an irrepressible spell
binder. Wherever two or three gather
ed together in the name of anybody,
there was Grosvenor to make a speech.
He was present one evening at large
church wedding. When the officiating
minister had announced that if any
man knew of any objection to the mar
riage he should speak then or forever
afterward hold his peace, Grosvenor
waited for moment or two during
the solemn pause that ensued, and then
arose in his place and said:
LAS no one seems inclined to take
advantage of this opportunity, l de-
sire to say few words in connection
with the coming campaign in this
state" and for the next 80 minutes the
wedding ceremony ceased until eros
venor finished his remarks.
Gaines-John Wesley Gaines, of Ten
nessee-the gay and debonair, the bril-
liant and the bald, is another un
squelchable orator and much more au-
dacious. than either Blackburn or eros
venor.
Probably the most characteristic
story every told about Gaines is ron.
