Charity for Human Nature..-"The disgrace of
the outbreak in a measure is shared by the whole country because it represents
so complete a breakdown of civilization, but it is better that it should
have happened at Urbana than in some community where past slavery would
have given a color of truth to the charge that a negro can not get justice.
It is well that it should have happened within the zone of the influence
of New England. If no other lesson can be extracted from the Urbana disgrace,
there is at least the lesson of charity. It teaches that human nature
is the same all over the country, and that one community is no more secure
than another from the temptation of the gust of passion aroused by brutal
crimes."
