From the MartinSburg Independent.
The account OF the recent knock
down arguments and pistollng OF editors
at Wheeling, presents to the people as
well as TO the press q wide field TO:
earnest thought and firm, determined
conclusion. To the press, it says, you
must stand in fear OF desperadoes and
it is worth your life TO attempt, to
advise the people, OF their peril in elect
iuZ men whose habits are those OF iu-
fanny, and whose associates are the yuI.
lures OF society We do not care who
are the edijors, or who the person un-
der editorial mention, nor ls 1t essential
TO correct conclusion, that the charges
be true. The principles 10 which
we hOil, and which the peO-
pie in their majesty are bound to
secure, remains the same In either as
pect OF the case. The people are vital
iy interested in the liberty Of the press,
provided it be conducted decently, and
is careful Of the public veal. 1t is for
the safety OF the people that the press
warn them Of the presence and ma
chinatious OF evil disposed persons.
1t ia due the people that the prsss warn
them when cogniZant Of the fact tEat
violators OF the law are attempting to
become their law makers. When such
state of facts exist, and the motive is
based upon such facts and not
upon personal spleen, the true
Journalist will sound the alarm OF
danger and grapple with so
dangerous an enemy 10 public
pesce and security as readily and hero
ically as he would burglsr or assassin.
Will the people stand by and see him
shot dead in his tracks for such action ?
Even though the motive should be per-
sonal spleen, and the charges be the
foulest fabrica,ions, will decent man
20 with murder intent, and to cowardly
ialsehood add the highest crime known
to the law by becoming q murderer ?
Can such ethics be tolerated by the peo-
pie? Every man who has character
10 lose has the courts ana la" 20
sustain it, and 70 man Of, or
with character, need resort to
any other remedy for revenge
It js idle 'olly 10 suppose
that the press can he muzzIed
either by threats or 10y the bullet. The
presence @; either threats or weapons
should move faithful Journalist to re,
newed efforts in publishing truths and
exposing the vampires and ou;ca-,s OF
society. These general principles 6re
30 our mind applicable to all cases, AMI
for the purity OF the ballot box Tor jus.
and equitable legislation and the en-
Actmept Of wholesome laws, aui Tor the
Purging and the protection Of society

II Can't be Done.

From the Ohio valley News.
We cannct see how Sweeney expects
TO close the voice OF the independent
press by knock down arguments or pis-
tols. That thing has been systemati'
cally tried thousand times and as often
failed. Whenever the press OF Ameri-
ca is muzzled by temerity, it becomes
aseless. There is no better safe guard
for our free institutions than bold and
out,spokeu press. And hopeful day
it will he Tor our land when the press
will, without quibbling, speak its mind
as it knows aud feels it. But come
what may it will never be cowed into
silence by ruffianism in any shape or
form.
