The eason however, is quite plain to us.The one-sided system of giving slight publicity to crime in which only white people ire implicated, and staging lynchings when colored citizens are accused cf similar wrong doings, ig a chronic example of the type ot civilization of which America should be a-*hamed. We note, not with any degree of surprise that the alleged attackers have not yet been murdered.

How long the system will be permitted to prevail in Indiana is beyond our knowledge.
