GUILTY. Politicians, especially. had been long
accustomed to running the papers" Juntas
like the Albany Regency thought. and some
times even wrote. for the party journals A
partisan newspaper thus became to
great extent the organ of some man
or set of men. Independent journal
ism accordingly was obnoxious to parties,
the party press and the politicians. Strenuous
efforts were. of course, made to nip SO dan
gerous an innovation in the very bud The
most obtuse Of politicians could not fail to
perceive that an independent newspaper would
obstruct the schemes of selfish political fac
tions. But the people. always alive to their
own interests, saw the importance of having
an outspoken journal, telling the truth at all
times of all men, without fear and without
favor; and the world now beholds the result in
the HERALD. Not even the editor, writing
early in the day, can tell what will be the
tenor of to-morrow's news but all the readers of
the HERALD know that to-morrow's issue will
be photograph of the occurrences of to-day.
At this time there is no subject of greater
interest than independent journalism The
idea is one that has taken deep hold on the
public mind. It has given stability to news
paper property. It has developed news
enterprise and fostered independent opinion
by Independence. It helps the. people to weigh
every subject carefully and to decide justly.
1t oompels the corrupt judge or the corrupt
politician to tremble 1t purifes politics and
elevates morals. It develops art industry
and the independence which is its life. Thus
paper like the HERALD becomes great
power, and the people sustain it because it
supplies their wants by its enterprise and
commends itself to their judgments by its
independence.

stealthy, poisoning murderer, the murder
in tavern brawl, the wife murderer, tho MUIR
der of one desperado by another. the murder
by woman. The Glasses might be largely
increased beyond these even by visit to the
Tombs. 1t is a curious thing that every one
of them finds its apologists, under ono form
or another, among men who themselves may
abhor the idea of blood. Stokes has his
apologists among men who hated the
viciousness of the man he slew. Ma
gruder would find apologists by the
score south of Mason and Dixon's line or
west Of the Missouri, because he warned his
victim one day that he would shoot him the

vict him of murder with brutal premedita-
ton here would bring triumphant acquittal

him to plunge the knife again and again into

to believe he should mot be hanged. because
pistol was found in the pocket of the man he
shot from behind. Scannell, who made one
attempt on the life of Donohoe before
finally killing him. and furnished
himself with the heaviest pistol he
could find, to make sure of his
work, has had Jurors who believed
that these things were, with few others, proof
of insanity. Even Nixon would find apollo
gists among the class who believe that the
world and its roads were made for them alone.
Around the murderess, and sometimes strange
contradiction-the wife-murderer, the greatest
amount Of shallow sentimentality is thrown.
The name of woman alone inspires
the first; the suspicion Of hus-
band being wronged is held to palliate
the second. All these apologies are of the
fimsiest but their being brought forward
can be foretold with certainty as soon as thS
blood of the victim has been spilled. We
cannot purify the atmosphere of society of its
murder elements by using an absorbent on
only one order of nervousness. The rich
murderer as well as the poor, the influential
murderer as well as the unowned outcast, the
deliberate and the plotting murderer as
well as the hasty, the infuriate or the drunken,
must all be treated alike
eff juries will only do their duty" said
Senator to our correspondent, murder must

as On unshrinking Executive. These can give
society gauge of security by the conviction
of the criminal While Governor Dix is in
the gubernatorial chair we may rely on stub
born justice being wrought out He has
pledged himself to it. and has given us q
telling instance that he can be trusted to keep
his word.

The British Cabinet Crisis.

By q HERALD special telegram from London
we have intelligence Of the fact that the
British Cabinet crisis which was induced by
the resignation of Premier Gladstone, was
maintained at late hour of the evening yes
terday. Mr.. Disraeli took counsel with the
Earl of Derby during the night of Friday.
The result of the deliberation was that the
conservative leader in the Commons sought
audience of the Queen at Buckingham Palace
yesterday and communicated to Her Majesty
his reasons for declining Office and the task of
forming Ministry Lord Derby endorses
Disraei's position, the Peer being convinced
that the conservative party cannot accept the
responsibility of forming government at the
present time This resolve of the titled young
cradle amount of prudence and goes to prove,
also, that the political party chivalry of his
family has been toned down to o very reasona-
bic and rational extent in his mind by his col
legiate training, his University Rectorial ex-
perience, and his public communication with
the middle class masses Of his countrymen.
He does not appear to be by any means am
bilious to undertake the exercise Of ''tooling''
q derby dilly, with its six insides," at the
present moment and thus accepting the
almost certain chance of having 1t spilled
by the wayside, as was the tory ministerial
conveyance when his deceased father held the
lines Apart from the fact of Disraelis
declination Of Office there is not anything
extraordinary in the news. Mr.. Gladstone
is ruralizing with friend. The Queen has
gone to Windsor, where, it is said, she will
see the ex-Premier. The comments of the
English metropolitan press are variable and
without point. Earl Granvilles name is
again mentioned in connection with the idea
of Ministry, of which his lordship would be
the head and Mr. Cardwell Chancellor of the
Exchequer Public opinion points to gen.
eral election, Notwithstanding that it is said
the Parliament will be held over to Mid
summer or, perhaps. later period. A gen.
eral election entails . vast deal of expense on
would-be legislators in Great Britain, and
the people are as yet, poorly educated in the
intricacies of the ballot box, so that some
new and very unexpected results might ensue
from universal exposition of the national
will under the new form of voting.

civilization when being the relative Of man

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSHLF.-
If a railroad director were dashed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had to
take their own physic before admins
tering it to their patients, fewer people
would be poisoned. Dr. Joseph Walker
OF. California, took this course when he
first compounded the famous Vinegar
Bitters which now rank MS an inestim-
able household remedy in all parts of
the United States. He healed himself
with this specific before he offered it to
the world. He introduced it with a
simple statement of the manner i'll which
he had discovered its vegetable ingredi-
ents aud been cured, while wandering,
sick and poor, among the California
tribes. He stated what the preparation
had done for himself and few sufferers
from dyspepsia, billiousness, rheuma-
tism, lung diseases, and many other
prevalent disorders, believed him, tried
the new restorative and were more than
satisfied with the results. In this way
the sale of the Vinegar Bitters began,
and we mention tie fact as an evidence
that in this age of intelligence and in
quiry, nothing that is really valuable to
mankind can prove pecuniary failure,
even though it may lack the help of
capital, aud have to fight its way-against
powerful opposing interests. Within
two or three months after its introduce
ton, the article became self-supporting,
and it now yields magnificent annual
revenue.
