PREJUDICE.

Does not such caption suggest
the exclamation point? How I'm
worthy of the mind Of him "cre.
mated only little lower than the
angels is prejudice!
The chief fountain o prejudice
is ignorance. Persons of inquiring
minds are seldom troubled with
this mental disease; for that is a
diseased state ofmind which leads
one to prejudice anything. The
healthy intellect demands all the
the facts. 1t comes to a judgment
on any given question in religion,
science, morals, etc, only after
weighing all the facts accessible
1t does not settle down in belief
until its own natural logic is salts
fed. 1t is in vain to quote the
judgement of other minds, be they
never so venerable or distinguish
ed for its acceptance. And when
it has come to a conclusion for itself
ii is still open to the reconsidera-
ton of the point decided on the
presentation of rev ideas thereon
from whatever source for the I'M
prejudiced mind is no respecter of
persons. With it truth is truth,
come whence it hay. To it all
truth is beautiful.
How different is the preiudiced
mind in its action. 1t accepts the
belief OF the past without question.
To it the language of "authorityn
is everything. 1t may be of GER
tain church or party-of a certain
great man"-of an ancestor
merely perhaps a grandfather,
whose only claim to consideration
lies in the fact that he is grand
father ~
This prejudice builds walls be-
tween the mind and truth, and
puts it into sort Of perpetual ban
ishment.
Were this all prejudice does it
would not prove such n powerful
architect of evil. But it is not. 1t
stops not, in its consequences with
the individual mind. 1t build
walls of brazen strength and icy
GOODNESS between nations as we'll
as individuals, and converts into
enemies those who else would be

MEXICAN AND FOREIGN
Mammals,

Speaking of the children one sees
in Lafayette Square, Washington,
writer says: Gas / have watched
these little men and women in the
care ofunderlings, away from the
mother for half a day at a time,
dragged through the streets, into
alleys, through slums, where. may
be, the woman visits some friend,
their eyes beholding all sorts of
filth, their little Weakening senses
receiving all sorts of impress
sions, wonder to myself il
in a future day, the parents will
not be shocked at some trait exhib-
tied, some evil cropping out in
their child that lays its birth to
these very nursery influences. l
| suppose papa will storm, mamma
will wiring her hands, and both of
them will wonder how one of their
blood could be so attainted. The
few mothers whom / have met
with their children are foreign
born, and bred to influence and
wealth too, | will hasten to say,
lest you imagine them vulgar
Mrs. Thornton, the English Am
bassadrice, drives and walks in
this park with her girls and their
maids; the French Minister'S wife
sits near by with the bonnie, to
watch the young Count as he runs
overthe grass. These people would
be shocked at the idea of allowing
their most precious things to be
cared for and kissed alone by an
inferior and vulgar person. And
are American children less pre-
cious, or are American parents less
careful and loving?n

notable differences in their decla-

INFLUENCE OF PARTY PATRON
AGE.-The bestowal of party pa
tronage upon journal is looked
upon as the purchase money of al
legiance by the leaders who have
1t in their gift but the growing
race of independent journalists do
not so regard it. A Gaze in point
is that OF Congressman b. r.. Col
ton, of the Second Iowa District
lie deaires a reelection, but the
majority of his constituents seem
TO think he needs rest. The Daven-
port Gazette, the principal organ
in the District, took occasion to
remark while ago that Mr.. Col
ton had not impressed the people
with sany superior qualities of
craftsmanship" whereupon Mr..
Cotton has written the editor a
high toned 'etter, declaring that
when he secured for that journal a
slice of pap in the shape of some
government advertising he did
not expect to find it SO soon requit-
ing him with "disparaging, false
editorials" Ifanything was need
ed to finish Mr.. Cotton, his frank
expression Of opinion concerning
the proper influence Of Govern
mcnt patronage ought to supply
the want. TO be sure it is the pop
ular idea, but all the same it is q
contemplate one.

The late coal miners strike at
Nelsonville, Ohio, which was at
tended with unusual violent dem
onstrations, is unfavorably com
mented upon by the press general
ly. That such events continue to
happen, is but little short of mar
vellous, for it would puzzle any of
the excited leaders who urge men
to such crime to point to single
instance in which "strike has
been made successful by the Use of
force of any kind, whether by ob
struction, assault, "mo6hing,"
shooting, burning, or destruction.
Such conduct always arrays the
common sense and intincts OF safe
ty in every community against
those who resort to violence, and
it alienates from The strikers the
good feeling OF those whose sym
pathies are naturally with the
workingnan, ia his efforts to get
"a fair days wages for fair days
work" There was reason TO hope,
that in this country, where iutelii-
gence is the ruleand ienorancethe
exception, the day would have
come long ago before this,
when the Unions Of working men
would have learned that the man
who counsels and leads them on 10
violence is not only 4 wicked dema
gogue, but the worst enemy Of the
working mems Unions.

TIE WAY THE BATTLEsTANDs

The railroad war i'm the northwest
particularly in Illinois and Wis
consin-has got into the Courts at
last, and after the usual Jaws de-
lays" decision may reasona-
bly, be anticipated from the Su-
preme Court Of the United States
which will determine the actual
power possessed by State legisla-
lures TO control railroad corpora
tons. Cases are now pending in
the Supreme Court of Wisconsin to
forfeit the charters of the Chicago
and Northwestern and Milwauk ee
and st. Paul companies for their
refusal to respect the tariff of tolls
established by the Legislature of
the State. Whichever way the
State Court decides, the losing par
ty will appeal to the Supreme
Court at Washington. But while
the state has been pushing the
companies in its Courts, the latter
| to get the question before the Su-
preme Court of the United States
in the speediest possible time, have
brought the main issues involved,
before the United States Circuit
Court, in an application made by
creditors Of the North Western
Company, toCircuit Judge Drum
mond, for an injunction restraining
the Attorney General and the Rail-
road Commissioners Of Wisconsin
''from instituting any proceedings,
legal or otherwise, or from taking
any measure of any kind for the
purpose of enforcing or executing
the provisions of the act passed
by the Legislature regulating the
fares on the railroads This appli-
cation has been some time pending
and has been fully argued. The
grounds upon which the creditors
ask relief are that If the State law
isenforced the Company cannot de-
rive enough money from all its
sources of income to pay the ope-
rating expenses of the road, main
tain its equipments in proper
state of efficiency, and pay the in
terest on its bonds, therefore the
law inasmuch as it impairs the
obligation of contracts sunconsti-
tutional. This line Of argument
is substantially the same as that
followed by Judge Curtis and Mr..
Evarts in their recent opinions.
The answer Of Senator Carpenter
and Acknowledgement Sloan is to
the effect that the creature of State
legislation cannot be above its
creator; that the clause in the
State Constitution giving to the
Legislature the power to alter or
repeal charter is a part of every
contract made with or by corpO-
ration, as much as though it had
been written in the bonds, aad that
the claim that railroad can con-
fer on its bondholders constitution
al rights which it does not possess
itself is "a mockery of argument
and an insult to common sense

THE ONO DEMOCRATS. In ref

Of the Ohio democratic state CON
vention the Columbus correspond
ent of the Cleveland Herald tele-

the voting on the new constitution
should be over with before the
convention meets, TO keep it out
Of politics; and anotheris that the
agricultural community Wouldn0t
be able TO attend were it held in
July. 1t appears, however, that
there is a divisionamOng the dem
ocrats who are opposed TO the new
constitution. A part ofthem claim
that the democratic party in con-
vention should proclaim against it
while others claim that the best
plan is to let itgo before the people
without any party expression on
the question, believing that should
the democrats proclaim against it
it would only spur on the republi

WHOLESOME REFORM-The new
Secretary ofthe Treasury, ifreport
speaks truly, has inaugurated one
wholesome reform in that depart
ment. In the long investigations
Of the Sanboln contracts and the
moiety operations, part of the de-
fence of some of the higher officials
of the Treasury was that impor-
tant matters had to be left to sub
ordinates, and in this way abuses
crept in without the knowledge OF
the principals. With the new Sec
rotary, no viewer, we are to have a
new, and, it is hoped, better pol
icy. No more letters are to be
signed before their contents are
read, and sent out to the country as
the instructions of a cabinet minis
ter, who does not himself know
what they contain. Several in
stances are mentioned in which
the new Secretary has put stop
to this. He says he wishes to
master all the business of his great
Office, and if he successfully follows
this course the country will be very
much the gamer.

THE QUAKER POET.

At the reunion of old abolition
lists at Chicago, on Wednesday, a
letter was read from John G Whit
tier, closing thus:
"The end has been reached, not
as we had hoped, through the
peaceful ways Of argument, appeal
and constitutional argument, but
through a red sea of revolution, at
an awful cost. The evil has been
extirpated, and we still feel the
consequences of the terrible strug-
gle. As Aboiitionists we have
never hated the peoble of the
South, and it is now our duty and
privilege to convince them of this
by generous and magnanimous
dealing. Let all revenge and mall
ice aud evil speaking pass away,
and let it not be our fault if we are
not hcncefort" a united people in
FEELING as we'll as nature"
