The Negro Brutally Drag ged from a Hospital ana Riddled with Bullets. A Shameful Scene. Tke Scepter of Woman. . (Joel Benton, in New York Christian World.) The women with pure Hps to kiss, Knows nothing of the "serpent's hiss;" Nor is she, as has late been sung, Acquainted with "the serpent's tongue. She is as peaceful as a dove; Her life is given to deeds of love; As mother, through enduring years, She wipes from childhood's face its tears. jn illness, on the fevered brow She lays her hand I feel it now , And, pointing to health's upward slope, Reveals the power of faith and hope. She does not rudely ask the State To be made man at any rate; She finds within the walls of home Her larger Greece, her nobler Rome. Lovely she is in every spot; ' She will not be what she is not; And him she takes, who comes to woo, Will find her faithful, fond, and true. She knows that nature's precious line Goes on from her dear and devine; Is here without a word's dispute, With none to be her substitute. Tis she who quickens mind and soul; For years she has them in control; And all our restless sisters quote, Give her no wish to brawl or vote. She is the world's true genesis, The center and the fount of bliss; The pattern, as the years grow ripe, Of that which makes the angel type. Divinely fair, nurtured on high, And flawless as the azure sky. , She shuns loud famt, dismiss&'stsiio,-:. - . And reigns as mother, sister, wife. " ' The Ivnching which occurred at Charlotte the other day is one of the first lynchings . in i North Carolina for a, good many years. It is true that tne negro uau committed "a grave offense a gainst the peace and dignity of the state and probably deserved a severe punishment for his of fense but this fact, is no justm niiiiinn lor mob violence. Sup pose he was a murderer,, it is for the punishment of such men that we have organized government and society. Even though his firlmA mav have been committed in cold blood and with premedi tation and deliberation he was in the hands of the law and would soon have been given a trial by a lecrallv constituted court ; in whose power it would have been to lawfully pronounce ana exe cute the death 'sentence upon a ..AUif. rf "cmiltv found bv a ICIUiVV w 1 - iurv of twelve unbiased men. His crime may have been a dark and heineous one but it is made no less hideous by the ac tion of a lawless and godless mob. An active participant in tne lynching of a human being is a murderer and it adds nothing to the credit, to the luster or the glory of the state that thirty men make murderers of themselves because of the . fact that one wretched negro had become a criminal.' -Ifj the law were de tartiva an that justice could not V w state, like a pestilence, crime stalks Abroad at noonday and the sound of the pistol is more fre quent than the sound of the mocking bird and the screams of women and children fleeing from pursueing brutes close the gates of our hearts with a shock." The city of Charlotte, , the county of Mecklenburg and the great state of North Carolina rises up against this damnable act perpetrated by masked cow ards under the cover of darkness and proclaim that every effort shall be made to punish this of fense against the majesty of the law. The Thaw Case crime there mighb be excuse, sometimes, for mob violence. The laws of this state are sufficient to punish crime and in the exe cution of our laws the courts of the state have no need of the as sistance of the mob. ' ' These frightful outbursts of lawlessness stir the state from one end to the other and let it be said to the credit of our people that every where in ou r borders the citizenship of '( North Caro lina condemnslhe action of the mob. A few years ago when the Salisbury lynching occured it was condemned and denounced everwyhere throughout the state and that act tho' possibly more outrageous than , this8 met with no less rebuke than the Charlotte lynching. V1 V If a'man slay his fellow and the blood of his brother crieth out from the earth against him shall it suffice to condone a lynching If the murderer be black and the murdered be white shall the great white race trample down the law and menace the peace and security of the innocent? Shall this race, stronger in its moral fibre, superior in intellect, wealth and power, set an exam ple of extreme depravity to be followed by its weaker and more immoral dusky brother? What motive prompts the lyncher to do his unspeakable crime? HATE one drop of which may engend er a thousand homicices. How shall he explain to society his attack upon organized govern ment? In what fountain shall he cleanse his hands of the blood of his brother? To society he can not explain his crime for the "blood of his brother crieth out from the earth against him." Once give the reins of govern ment into the hands of the mob, peace and security flee from the face of the earth, sleep lays Do eUiurveu, it vm f - i - - - tected criminals and encouraged, down armed insolance walks the The escape of Harry K. Thaw from the asylum for the criminal insane at Matteawan is alleged to nave been the results ol a criminal conspiracy. The auth orities, since his capture in Cana da, have been endeavoring to bring him back to New York but when Harry's lawyers withdrew the habeas corpus proceeding and the judge refused to hear argument against the withdrawal of the proceedings. Jerome and other attorneys on behalf of NeJ York were greatly disappointed and the cheers of the wild crowd for Harry added humiliation to the disappointment. The Thaw trials attracted a great. deal of attention through out the country. There was first "mistrial," the jury could not agreerlthen taere- was-a verdict i of ' not guilty on account of in sanity." Thaw was confined to the Assylum for the Insane at Matteawan. It is said that there has been no attempt to cure Thaw of his insanity. This would indicate that the authorities do not regard him as being insane. If he were insane when he killed White and has since become sane is it right that he should be con fined indefinitely and be slowly lynched by those sworn to up hold the law? We do not know what the final outcome of the case will be but we are a little in sym pathy with Harry for when he struck down, in Madison Square Guarden, the author of the ruin of his home and life he did what men have done in every civilized age of the worlds history. When the ages were in their infancy the decree went forth from the high courts of heaven that the adulterer should die. Maybe Evelyn was a had woman but if Harry Thaw loved her and v was happy in her love Stanford White's crime against Thaw was one beyond the power of the human heart to condone or for ...V'..
