HOW TO STOP
| LYNCHINGS.

The alarming increase in the num-
Der of overt acts by mobs has caused
officials in the different states OF the
union to attempt to devise means te
minimize lynchings, if not to brlTe
the practice to stop. While all wei!'
meaning citizens admit that there arr
times when an eXasperated communlt!
is liable to become temporarily un-
balanced, the fact that human beings
are often sacrificed for offenses which
would not be shown to be capital were
the victims allowed chance for 'thel
lives is to be deplored.
Governor Goldsborough, of Mary
land who pointed the way at the re
cent conference of governors in Bos,
ton by which lynchings can be stopped
has continued his interest in the sub
ject.
The Governor takes the view by
the extension of the present Mary
land law, which provides compensa-
ton by counties or towns for property
destroyed by mobs, lynchings can be
effectively stopped. In brief, if coun-
ties and Incorporated towns are made
to realize that they are responsible
for the preservation of law and OIL
der, that if they do not employ the
forces at their command to save VIC
tins of mob rule, then they shall pay
compensation to the families or near
est relatives of these victims. A pre-.
cedent for this action was established
by the late James G. Blaine. Whe.
Secretary of State he took steps by
which families of II Italians hanged
by mob in New Orleans were COM
pensated for deaths of the men upon
whom they were dependent.
Governor Goldsborough has gath
cred decisions of the courts bearing
on the statute. One Of them is fur
nished by developments which grew
out of the attack of the mob on the
massachusetts troops passing
through Baltimore on April 10, 1861.

CARRY GUNS
TO CHURCH.

After the Jews returned to Pales-
tine at the close of the seventy years
captivity in Babylon we are told the
.1ails of Jerusalem were built under
strenuous conditions. A man worked
with trowel in one hard and a
sword in the other. When white men
came to this continent they were
compelled to carry their guns with
them to church and sat in pews with
the weapons half-cocked ready to
meet attacks of Indians. After four
hundred years of civilization this Gus
tom has been renewed.
Threats of death to all Americans
found in Hidalgo and Star counties,
Texas, after September Is, made by
bandits to Mexican residents, have
thrown the residents of these coun-
ties into a fever of excitement, and
caused them to ask Gen. Funston
for more troops and arm themselves
for more trouble.
For the first time since the days of
Indians, worshiperS came to church
yesterday armed with rifles and pis.
tolls At Dclfra the rifles we're stack
ed in the church, and a guard thrown
cut while religious services were held
At San Romano armed worshipers
hocked to the church, and rangers
stood guard during the services.
