Permit me to thank you as nn American citizen for the admirable way in which you have vindicated the majesty of the law by your recent action in reference to lynching. I feel, my dear sir. that you have made all men your debtors who believe, as all farseeing men must, that the well being. Indeed the very existence of the republic, depends upon that spirit of orderly liberty under the law which is as incompatible with mob violence as with any form of despo.tism. Of course mob violence is siiftply one form of anarchy. The correspondent says that the stat utes of the revolutionary coinniitte* forbid insurgents to touch peaceful Mo hauimeduns of either sex and thai therefore the report emanating froir the Turkish government that thej killed Mohammedan womeu and children in live Turkish villages in the Kastoi ia district is untrue. The settlement la looked upon as a decisive victory for tlio Connecticut Railway and Lighting company. The strike lasted seven months. During the second month Policeman Paul Mendelssohn was murdered while guardinga ear. His murderers have never been captured.

Some sympathizers were so Incensed at the defeat of .the strikers that thoy got on the cars and spat In the faces of the strike breakers. In such cases, moreover, it Is well to remember that the criminal not merely Bins against humanity in inexplicable and unpardonable fashion, but sins particularly against his own race and does them a wrong far greater than any white mnn can possibly do them. Therefore in such cases the colored people throughout the land should In every pbssiblc way show their belief that they, more than all others in the community, are horrified at the commission of such a crime and are peculiarly concerned in taking every possi- to prevent its recurrence and to bring the criminal to immediate justice.FOUR BOYS DBOWNED.

Tills caused serious fatigue and naturally contributed to diminish the solemnity and pious character of the ceremony.

Bostowski, the Russian consul at Monastir, on Saturday last. Moreover, every effort should be made under the law to expedite the proceedings of justice In the case of such an awful crime.

Hut even where the real criminal is reached the wrong done by the mob to the community itself is well nigh as great. Especially is this true where the lynching is accompanied with torture. There are certain hideous sights which when once seen can never he wholly erased from the mental retina. The mere fact of having seen them Implies degradation.
