When Texas lynches a negro,
it is for a nameless beastly
crime, and when the guilty tiend
is hung or burned, the citizens
return to their farms and busi-
ness, and all is quiet. The
lives and property of the law-
abiding are not molested. The
northern press and certain class
of northern fanatics have been
wont to hold up their hands in
holy horror at the awful treat-
ment of their skillet and saddle
colored brethren in the South.
The recent work of a mob at
Springfield, Illinois, should
cause them to repent in sack-
cloth and ashes and bewail their
great sins and total depravity in
mobbing several negroes, some
of them not charged with crime.
They even burned the property
of many who were good citizens.
