Ml'KKAV. Barbarism In Kansas. George Meeks and Ed Silsbee who were lynched by hanging at Fort Scott on Saturday night bad beeu tried and convicted of a deliberate, cowardly and treacherous murder. They had also just made a desperate attempt to escape from prison, but hud surrendered to the guards. It was the duty of the leagully established courts to try these men iu due form and decide their punishment according to the law.

It was the duty of the officers of the law to enforce the decree of the court. The mob had no more right to punish those two convicts than it had to try them. It is essential that the courts and officers of the law execute the whole process of trial, conviction and punishment of the criminals. Whoever participates in the unlawful killing of a supposed criminal, whether convicted or unconvicted, whether innocent or guilty, commits the crime of murder. When to effect this pur pose a mob breaks open tho prison, intimidates the officers of the law, and seizes and kills tho victim of its rage, it is guilty not only of murder but of virtual treason and rebellion aguiiist the state.

Bodkin, Chas. Shpy, i O'CoNMOtt i Committee. Scott lynching? Those who perpetrated it must have had little respect for the law before. Their respect for it has now been permanently lessened.

There are hundreds of people iu whom the spirit of lawlessness and crime has been born or strengthened by this one incident. There are many who will be more ready than ever to do acts of violence and gratify their rage or revenge, or take the law into their owu hands. Who can tell how many murders or other crimes may result from the brutalizing effect of having been participants iu that act of defiant lawlessness? Lynching is no remedy for crime; it is the prolific source.of new crime. What kind of citizens are they who have torn down the power of the Btate, repudiated the laws made by the soverigu people, spurned its courts, stultified its officers, staiued its honor in the eyes of all civilization and weakened its prestige and power to govern One such exhibition of mob tyranny and violence smashing down the edifice of law and civilization inllicts an injury of incalculable extent, a shame of unfathomable depth.
