MOD JUSTICE.
The oppermoataentlment iutpired by
the BtrottdlVurg lynching yesterday la
not one of pity lor the vijtim, he be
ing, according 10 ail lbs evidence, n
villein who well deserved his fate, It
is rather one of regret that the orderly
procitisei of the law were not first given
a fair U'st before it was decided to
make this mad resort to the passionate
tribunal Of BOb justice. That there
were extenuating circumstances of
great gravity, so far as the wrath of
the populace concerned the ptroOQ ol
the Qseing I'o. vo i. is readily admitted.
Pnryea'e crime had been esoeptlonally
brutal, coarse aud Inhuman. A u aged
oonple had been shot by him, coolly,
deliberately and with absolutely tie
provocation, his solo aim being to se
oure ivsseasiou of a small sum of eou
ooaled money.
But there is nothiug In evidence to
prove that the courts of Monroe county
would have failed in their duty toward
Christian l-'.hler's burly assassin. Ttiey
had been aoeordad noohanee to ihow
either competency or loooupotonot.
They were brushed aside by the mob as
of mall concern compared with its
own unnatural appetite for blood; aud
not satisfied with this excess of animal
ism, the lynchers added insult to in
jury brOUttini the fatal rope iutJ little
pieces, tor preservation as mementoes,
aud strove, as we are told, like hende
to got Krape of bar. from the tree
that served as Poryaa'a impromptu
gallowa
The entire Incident is nauseatingly
llsgrscefuL Notadetail of it breathes
the spirit of justtco or of deliberation
I was a crime crowned by a crime, and
the crown is worse, if anything, than
:Ue rotten deed it cover?. When lime
shall have cooled the bounding pulses
ot these amateur Uonroe county hang
men they will bo assailed by shame and
regret for this uaholy, this unmanly
deed. They will viw with deep hu
miliation the conspicuous share they
took in bjiagia; oiium on a law-abiding
peo ple. And they will slink off in
anntterable dissatisfaction with their
bloody work, if. indeed, they do not
receivs aa even ait) pablio punishment.
Liw is not readv to abdicate in
But there are other persons than
ministers who shoull unite to eipjdite
this uecessiry movement. Incoagru-c-.s
SS ::may appear to name the two
classes i SS)Sh CtOSS juxtaposition, the
licensed loci I retailors of malt aal
apirituona liquors ought to occupy no
laggard's place ia the efforts to viaii
cate law and order. We do not expc:
this assertion to escape sharp critieism
We do not forget the, existence in
Iscrantoa of earnest men who view in
very vender of alcoholic stimulant a
direct incarnation of Bstsaic impulse
wholly beyond hope. Nevertheless,
we are preoared to maintain, before
aii;,rjju iiced and impirtial jurors,
that it is the duty of the liq Ml dealers
themlve to work anouller to
shoolder with the ministers ani toe
constables in a coacirte! e:T jrt to p-o-
mots honest Uw oaeervance. And I
why ? Ars they not escu forced by the
Itats to psy $300 for the nrivilsge of !
pnrsnmg their business? Is it not to
tneir direct pecuniary gain to have
tnis business continus 1 under the reoog
nition aud with th lease 1 aanction of
tnelaw? But if they do not themselves
put form sincere eff jtt to oretarve the
law, how can they expect to stem tne
rising sentiment whim disapproves of
the license system altogether and
Which WOOid x'.arminte their basi
nets utterly? Again, why should the
respectable retailers tie forced to pay
the large prios salted hy thi state for
its legal protection if they are not
afterward to get tnat promised protec
tior.? And, if they do not have anv
alternative but to pay ths priOS, why
f'.o they not co-operate to insist upon
getting what they pay for, which is to
eay, freedom from illegal competi
tion? Whether this quest. on Is viewed
In its relation to ethics, or eimply to
vuigar dollars and Otnts, thi conclu
aion is 1 lenthal in either case that 1 1
is the duty of thoas liceassd retailers
who really believe they are engage 1 in
a legitimate business and who are will
ing that the UOSSM law shall be en
forced to its strictest letter, provided
the enforcement be impartial, thorough
and uniform, to enter heartly and earn
estly into this coming campaign for
law and order.
The aj proviso, though, is Impor
tant. It ia fair. It ia just. There
should be a general move nil along the
line, and not b aingling out of one
place or another, In the manner of
blackmailing constables or detectives
The remark mado upon this anhjiot by
n local retailor yesterday deserves
thought lie eaid: "I psy $100 f,,r
license and I wat.t $500 of protection
from it. I would much rather d .
my place on Sunday than to keep it
open. I would much rather observe
nil the detaila of tho license law than
to overlook one of them. WbyV Bl
cause if I do the law will last longer
nnd I can remain in business longer. Tint
I cannot afford to pav $-100 license
money for a year of U0O business days
nnd yet be compelled to competo with
n man next door who sells to customers
885 days each year for the same
price. It Isn't business." Bat it is busi
ness fur the reputable dealer to com
bine with his reputablo brother dealer
and prosecute thelaw breaker. And that
is just what the reputable retailers of
this city should do. They should form
r mutual protective association, pledge
each member to honest law observance

FLOWER TALKS.
Governor Flower, from Tain in any
atBndpoint,is unDardoiiably awkward In
his efforts to flounder from under the
terrlblo responsibility of hie ibarslo the
murder of Robert Hose, The governor
tries to brush aside his connection with
tlmt tragedy by the commonplaoe com
ment thns it ie "absurd" to charge 4 the
crime to his failure to sign .the non
partisan election inspection bill. Then
be ndds: "T have sent for Mayor-elect
Molloy, and have told him that the
boitoui of the Troy nffitr must be
reached, no matter who suffers by the
exposure. He has promised me to do
all in his power to nl l in bringing the
guilty ones to justice. If I find that
that there is a deposition to shield
anyone or drop the matter, 1 shall take
a hand in it myself."
The governor reveals by this awk
wardness that tho tragedy presses
home. Ho is evidently not sufficiently
schooled 111 electoral outrages to view
the present crime with unconcern.
Perhaps it Is not yet too late for him to
repent aud get out of the unenviable
teredos of his blood staiuod masters
odiridnally, lbs gorsrnor lias alwsyi
been reputed a generous mil kind
hearted man. The sooner, th n, ho
shakes otf the ruthless yoke of Mur
phyism and its kindred r dUi s, the
better will it ait upon his OOaSOltBOS
and the sounder will bi Ills llssp Ol
nights.
Hut the governor should first of nil
things ascertain tho value of silence.
With talk comes danger. His com
ments already will return to plsgna
him "Absurd", is it, to charge him
with a share 111 the crime,' Then were
the tWSnty-asVCQ Troy ministers "ab
surd'' iu asking him to sign the BOO"
partisan Inspection bill. Then were
they "absurd" lu stating that If lie did
not sign it. If, by his outright refuail
or failure to not promptly, the old
scenes worn re 10 SO ted at tho Trojan
polls, the old crimes committed, the
old thugism perpetrated nnd ap
plauded, hu would be amoral partici
pator iu them, Sttd Would assume
moral retpousihtlily lor whatever
might happen,
No, Governor Flower, you need not
"lake a hand" in this matter. Yon
hate taken oun already, and It Is n
hand that is stained with a suggustivo
aoqnlesosnos in Murphylsm'a immoral
sway.

BY ACT OF CONGRESS.
The fact that the seuate of the Uuited
States, which once stool firm agiasl
threatened attacks upon ttioatability of
our national credit, has at last suc
cumbed to the pernicious principles of
the western Populists comes In the na
ture of a foreseen misfortune. Iu 1S90
the country sowed the storm of fusion
ism and dltCOOtent, and today it is
reaping such a whirlwind as not even
its wisest prophets had then dured to
foretell. Nor is this the end.
Meanwhile, the other nations of civ
IllntiOB are invited to feast their eyes
en the speatacle of an intelligent peo
ple trying to keep a on-third intrinsic
valne-and-i-twotbirds-shesr-ftst kind
of money upon a parity with money
good for its face value in any mart of
commerce. Meanwhile, the American
people, or that portion of them resid

dominating tho American congress,
will with yonr kind permission give nn
illustration of how to rSTOltttionil the

by means of subtraction and add to
wealth by vitiating the umsure of
