A WARSIXG TO LYXCHEItS. Tho assertion of the Supreme Court «»f It* authority and dignity in imposing: jail Sentences on a sheriff, a jailer and others responsible in part for the lynching of a prisoner whose, appeal the court had under consideration is welcome not only as a vindication of the nation's judicial power, but as a precedent which may lend other tribunals to take notice at similar affronts. The violence of a mob, abetted by tht- negligence of sheriffs or jaJln* mi cbargo of prisoners, is con stantly taking cases out of the hands of the courts and nullifying the processed of justice. if the «-ourts Ugh ami low, unite to punish for contempt those who lawlessly invade their jurisdiction and those wLo fail to use duo diligence in checkin; that invasion, though under oath to keep prisoners In safe custody, there may be an end to Incidents lik) those i f last week in Cairo. HI., which lower our self-respect and discredit oar civilization. The Supreme Court has seldom been called upon to punish contempt. Its proc esses bavo been generally re^p^ted. But the lns-ane passion tor mob violence which has been allowed to flourish in so many communities hat no resard for tra ditions or Jurisdictions, and when tli" occasion came it brushed aside the au thority of th«» highest court .iu>t at reok !• i>i> ,-i- v has >•> often outraged tin? dignity of low.-r tribunals. The Supreme Court i- not prepared, however, to sit passive under such an insult. It bus hunt I'll down and punished those who deflod It. Would that the state courts had shown the same determination i'> \! Itiug similar contempt wltli adequate penalties! Tin* lynching habit will be aJiana;iWMial arhea) defiant mobs and half li«arte«l sheriffs ar*» dealt with not only as disturbers of the peace, but as vlolat :s of judicial prerogatives. / /•/< / 7 / 1 >» A\ /* I'l.\ OCHLK.

Th* avcracp well Is merely a bole In the L'ri->ui!d. threo or four feet In diam eter and from a *)aaaa la v hundred «»r mcro feet deep, lined with rou^h BtaM work without cement, ibrough which water may freely percolate nt any time. The usual assumption Is that water en ters from a fptteg at the bottom, but it l». obvious that it may cuter through any stratum throughout the tfutlre depth of th<? well. or. iv most cases, from the surface of the ground. It ii therefore perfectly easy for at* '-• from a cesspool or vault, or surface drainage from a barnyard, to flow Into r> well even from a distance of mmi reds, according to til* 1 "lay of the laud*' and tho character and inclination d the strata, and to make th*-- sparkling con tents of "the moss covered bucket rank poison.

The Hon. Champ Clark has been tell ing the Democrats of Chicago that th* next House of Representatives will be -\3 Democratic as was the Houso of Itepr* oentatlvoa elected la 1874. Hope springs eternal in th« Missouri breast. We 'rust that Mr. Clark has not yet parcelled out all tho choice* committee appointments which ha will be called on to make as the next Speaker. Or has he merely de cided to surrender the power of appoint ment to a committee on committees, named by the Holism itself? Mr. ClarU Ulustratss moot delightfully tho length* to which thinking in the fourth dimen sion" can be carried in politics. It looks as if the Milk Trust had never studied very carefully the saddening ex perience of the lot Trust. That experi ence ought to serve as a deterrent ex ample. It I? something of a novelty for an au tomoblllst to complain that a horse drawn vehicle ran against his car while the latter was travelling slo-vly, but such things are possible In the present case it Is said that ti .•• wfywmtiMJ vehicle car ried no lights at night If so. that cir cumst. ice aggravated the offence. Tho law of New Jersey r^jtilring all vehicles to nhow lights at night ib an eminently reasonable s»nd desirable one, which ap plies to horse drawn vehicles as well as to automobiles, and it should be strictly enforced.

They should have called on the Governor for sufficient military force, Including a battery of artillery, which should hava been trained en th« mob and effectively served, and If the result had been the kill ing and wounding of half Its number it would have been a magnificent vindication of the majesty of law and the honor of th© ftate which was outrage.

Sir: Apropos of the celebrated murder trial Just concluded in France, much d:.-. cussion and iidvt r.-.' criticism has been In dulg.d l.i on this sid« or th<? Atlantic, and from some editorials In our local paper* one would be led to believe that the French administration of criminal law should be condemned as outrageous and unjust. As a matter of tact, th.- French criminal law and Its administration protect th« in nocent more ii:!y than hore in the gtate Of Wow York. The French method Is direct, whtlo ours la the opposite. a suspected person here la arrested ard immediately taken U» Police Headquarters. WberQ tho chief of detec tives and all aids administer the so-called "third degree," which Is nothing less than a rigid and brutal examination, a *tar chamber proceeding, where the unfortunate victim la holpirflai bHasj without counsel and Ignorant of his constitutional privi leges. Let us reform cur laws and Its ad ministration before- condemning the French method. The Judges in Trance, as in most Euro pean countries, are appointed and have tenure of offlcs for life, and If our judges were likewise appointed our Judicial admin istration would te elevated, m it should be. and our people would nave- more respect for th* law and also would develop our moral tense. Now we see the laws openly violated and total'- disregarded, especially in reference to Sunday liquor selling, and it follows that the evasion or violation of even one law inevitafclv produces disregard for law generally, In Franc* laws are •ureljr more respected and not broken so often. But when the tow is violated, pun ishment follows promptly and surely, as In En?!und and in most European countries, and with celerity unknown to us In Ne^v York. From the point of riew of a layman *-ho has served m a peMt and grand juror, much reform is needed in our method of criminal cdminlstratlon. V.'c cannot and should not adopt any European »-. stem, but v,« can and ''I'd improve our own. A person accused shoa!d have the benefit of proper advice and his examination should tv conducted not at Police Headquarter*. but by a lawyer especially designated by the prosecutor and officer of the county; and if indicted, the trial should take paaoa within a week after the arrest. On those lines much is expected from our newly elected District . •!,-■>, and tho*e who know him best say New York .-111 not bo disappointed. TOMO ■AJtOCKTI New Brighton, St.ii»»n Island. Nov. 13.
