1t is a deplorable fact, and a

1t is deplorable fact, and a
shame to the country, that every
crime is seized upon as political
capital, and a partisan press has
sunk into the debasing practice of
wrangling over these affairs as
political, instea i Of uniting in con
demuing vice and bringing crimi-
mails to justice, regardless of their
profassed political alliance or ofiic-
ial position; and criminals are not
only emboIdened thereby to VIC
late the laws and outrage society,
but seize upon these wrangles TO
escape justice. This practice is
not only n folly but is criminal
and ifnot abandoned will ruin the
country.
If a newspaper condemns either
crime or injustice, it is suspected
or openly accused Of being actua-
ted by political motives, and we
are scarcely ever certain Of hay
ing the true statement of such
affairs.
This wrangling may forever con
ceal the real perpetrators of this
Grant outrage and screen them
from legal justice, and therefore
criminal, because it aids the eS-
cape OF criminalS.-DeIhi Chron

NEW ORLEANS MERCHANTS

We regard the certified checks OF
the New Orleans banks rs sort
Of swindla. There i y GiscOu. d
Z to 10 per cent on them, and
this the farmer has to pay. The
merchants o! \. D. ought to make
special efforts to meet the wants
of tie farmer. We don't believe
in that sort of trade where the pro
fit is al on one side. When the
farmer has big crcp of cotton,
the merchants are as polite rs a
basket of chips,and when bis crop
is short, they ought not throw him
overheard. They make enough
out of the big crop to lose some by
tue little. While the merchants
of the city are clothed in purple
and fine linen, and fare sumpt-
ously every day, Our farmers are
living hard all the time, and we
say that when hard times come to
them, the merchant ought to, if
need be, lose a little to sustain
them. This is only justice. But as
it is our farmers are not getting
justice, and if they were ever JUS
titled in holding OIL to their cotton
it is uow.-Sparta Times.
