tacing-sports differing, of
course, one from another and
akin to man hunting only in
that they offer excitement.
The fatuous fellow who
sponts about lynch law for
criminal assault is dangerous
% the peace of the commun-
ity because his Endorsement
of mob murders encourages
the rufhans who make up
lynching parties. The man
who is willing to join the mob
is merely a cowardly brute
who likes the excitement Of
man batting where there is
little prospect of interference
at the scene of the contem :
plated crime or indictment
afterward for participation.
One determined officer who is
willing to shoot to kill can
turn back a mob of 100 de
termined citizens" That is
because lynching is merely a
country froIic. enjoyable only
so long as there is no danger
that anyone save the prisoner
will be hurt.
The Courier-Journal agrees
with the World as to lynching
being always indefensible, but
does not believe that there
are forty Southern newspa-
pess-uf any importanccs in
whose opinion Iynching is a
Southern institution worthy
of defense. There may be
forty, or more, ready to point
out that in proportion to the
opportunity provided by the
presence of a mixed popula-
ton lynching occurs as often
in the North as IN the South,
and that it is punished no
more readily in PENNSYLVANIA
than in Mississippi. But cred
it should be given to several
States which have taken pre-
ventive measures by enacting
automatic removal laws" un-
der which an officer who yields
to a mob loses his office with :
out being allowed to raise the
question of whether he was at
fault. Automatic rem ov
laws are in force in only a
few States. Every State should
have such a law, and because
the Southern States, W t h
their greater Negro popula-
ton, stand more in need of
them and have exhibited little
interest in adopting them
they can be justly blamed for
not having exhibited the right
degree of militancy against
mob murder. Kentucky is
among the States that have
neglected to enact the auto.
matte removal law. Its enact
ment is regularly recommend
ed by the Courier-Journal
when Legislatures convene.

AND
RETRIBuT|oN.

Retribution is an awful
thing! and it is as sure in it's
coming and working as the
Fiat of Fate. Belgium and
Retribution have met face to
face and have embraced and
kissed each other. Years have
swept on since that crowned
wretch, old King Leopold,
supported and encouraged by
the moral silence and ac-
quiescence of the Belgians as
a nation committed suc h
nameless horrors upon the
defenseless black people of
Belgium's Congo possessions.
So awful were those crimes
that an outburst of protests
came from all of the civilized
nations of the world ere Bel
gium and her worse than
Negro-like wretch of a king
let up committing their ghoul-
ish atrocities.
The severed hands and feet
and heads of the black men
women and children, the dis
embowelling and the manac-
ling of limbs and casting Of
others aside to starve in the
event these poor creatures
brought not up their super
human tasks, all this cries to-
day against Belgium. and Re-
trtbution- is exacting its-toll
! with fearfully added interest
from the ill-sated country.
Retribution is a terrible thing!
1t is so linked with misdeeds
that the latter cannot escape
without making their reckon
ing sooner or later.
Liege, Brussels, Louvaine,
Namur. Antwerp, and hun
dreds of towns, villages, ham
lets and countrysides which
received some of the blood
spoils that came from the su-
perhuman tail of the mained
and brutally maltreated blacks
of the Congo are an answer
through German destruction
to Retribution. The devasta
ton of the country as the re-
suit of the horrors that was
has wrought in his widest and
most desperate fury through
out its bounds brings strava-
ton home to the people who
sanctioned the cruelties of old
Leopold who manacled and
starved to death the blacks in
the Congo who brought not
in their impossible tasks Of
rubber.
Yes, the spirit of those per
mitted and committed atroci-
ties are abroad, and the men,
women and children of Bel
gium, though old Leopold, the
wretch is dead. are now an
swering in their lndescribable
suffering the suffering endured
by the black men, women and
children long since gone. Re

faithful account against Bel
gium, as eventually he will

RAG OF GOLD COIN UNEARTHED.

While watching workmen in the
excavation for the new Victor build
ing at Boonviile about four O'Clock
Monday afternoon. those standing on
the sidewalk around the excavation
saw all at oncc a scramble among the
negroes who we're digging with shovel
end spades. II was soon learned
that the workmen had struck a sack
OF gold and silver coin about twelve
inches below the bottom OF the cellar
and they were engaged in n scuffle
for the money. Henry Williams. M
OF the negro workmen. got a large
share OF the treasure. amounting TO n
little more than si4O. which was
mostly in gold. Uncas Linn got sij;
Oliver Dledrick, sis: Chris Ruby.
$50: Sid Mcdowell. $40. and others
smaller amounts. Two $50 gold
pieces were picked up Tuesday by
Joseph FELTON, from the dirt which
was hauled from the excavation to
his yard. II Ii thought the total
amount will reach about $500.
or course there are a great variety
OF opinions on the question OF who
blurred the money there. but the most
reasonable one is that some one plac-
ed II for safe keeping during the try
Ing times incident to the civil wal in
this section OF Missouri. Most OF the
coins bear mIntage dates IN the COS.
A few bear dates In the early COS. and
none OF them later than 1899. show
Ing rather conclusive evidence that
the money was buried during the
early part OF the war. All OF the
coin was o or less corroded but
after n little rubbing. the gold pieces
would look almost like entirely new
