The fool-killer is needed at Cleveland

The fool-killer is needed at Cleveland.
The Leader, of that place, says:
'The Rev. Mr.. Rexford, of Columbus,
proposes that a law be passed to punish
grand jurors for perjuring themselves in
not indicting saloon keepers who violate
the law 1t would be hard to get evi-
dence against grand jurors, as every one
who appears before them swears he will
not reveal anything he says or witnesses
while there.
We would like to have the Leader
point out any such law, or the require
ment of any such oath. All grand jurors,
but not witnesses, are charged never to
reveal anything which trsnspires in the
jury room, unzess called upon to do so in a
court of justice. Even the grand jurors
themselves can be requires to testify
against each other in such cases But
the trouble is there is no statute against
perjury by grand jurors

REGULATING THE RAILROADS.

The President of the Chicago & North
western Railway Company has addressed
letter to Governor Carpenter, of Iowa,
with regard to the working of the Iowa
act to cut down railway rates. The Ex-
ecutive Council has placed in class A,
subject to the lowest rates, all the roads
operated by that company in Iowa
President Keep states the condition of
these roads. They are four in number,
as follows: The Stanwood Il Upton
Railway has never paid running ex-
penses. The Iowa Midland Railway was
short last year $780, of paying the cost
of running and maintaining the road
and the taxes, and has never paid its
stockholders a dollar. The Chicago,
Iowa and Nebraska Railway Is leased by
the company, and a per centage of its
gross earnings paid for rent 1t was last
year short of paying running expenses,
repairs, rent, and taxas by $24, ,949 63.
The Cedar Rapids g. Missouri Railway
is operated under lease, and cost the
company last year icss of S2S4, ,S69 90.
The act fixes a reduction of 80 to 40 ner
cent in the rates under which these re-
suits were realized. But we do not see
how this will affect the legal rights of
the people, under which, as Senator
Matt. H. Carpenter has clearly shown by
his speeches to the GrangePs, RAILROAD
companies have no rights that the peo-
pie are bound to respect. As it appears
by the Presidents showing that these
Iowa roads are operated at the expense
of the roads in Illinois and other States,
the Iowa act cutting down rates will
only draw more from these States, at the
expenses of the Changers thereof Is not
that something2 - sa

We heard public speaker say recent
ly that when man deserves praise he
ought to have it while he lives, and not
wait until after his death, and then have
q big monument erected over his re-
mains. Believing this to be correct, if
any one has good word to say about us,
let him not be too diffident, but out with
it. Those who want to say mean things
about US, will do so without a special re-
quest.
We were induced to make the above
remarks in consequence of seeing the
following, in the Columbus Gazette
The Jackson STANDARD has man at its
head that knows how to make good
paper; even if he does write 'Random
Thoughts by way of ornamentation
He manages to crowd enough from his
quill into the paper to attract attention
and claim the respect of friends and enc
mics alike-for brother Mackley has
enemies. and is very glad of it, we are
sorry to say. He has lately been making
a few remarks with reference to the
Beecher scandal; and we quote portion
of them entire, SO much are they to our
mind on this subject:
1--WE had been strongly inclined to be-
lieve that Beecher was guilty of some
impropriety, but Tilton's course makes
US doubt. He publishes detached por-
tions of a private correspondence be-
tween himself and Beecher, which may,
and no doubt does, convey directly op-
posite meaning from that which the en-
tire letter would convey. We saw that
illustrated year ago, in another case.
The man who will publish all, or any
part of a private. confidential CORES
pondence, is an internal scoundrel, who
is utterly unworthy of belief in anything
he may say.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

Only one month until the vote will be
taken for and against the new constitu-
ton. One day last week the Columbus
Journal undertook to classify the papers
of Ohio on this question, when it put the
STANDARD down as opposed. Several
weeks ago we said we were for it, but we
have said little about it since that time.
We.do not care whether it is voted up or
down. If it should carry, it would put
out of Office a lot of incompetent judges
but is there virtue enough in the people
to elect better ones? We do not like that
part of the new constitution which fixes
the term of Office of judges of the Su-
preme Court at ten years, and gives them
five thousand dollars per year. We are
opposed to the Governors veto. The
elective franchise is too restricted. Every
actual resident, male and female, black
and white, native and foreign born.
should vote. If the new constitution
should be adopted, and with it the license
clause, it would be sad move in the
wrong direction. But we.are for the aid
to railroad clause, and many other parts
of the new instrument, and shall vote
for it.

"A GOOD EDUCATION.

"a GOOD EDUCATION.
"The late Edward Everett condensed
into single brief paragraph his estima-
ton of what constituted a good educa-
ton. Here it is: To read the English
language well, to write with dispatch a
neat, legible hand, and be master of the
first four rules of arithmetic, SO as to dis
pose of at once, with accuracy, every
question of figures which comes up in
practice-I call this a good education.
And if you add the ability to write pure,
grammatical English, regard it as an
excellent education. These are the tools.
You can do much with them. but you
are hopeless without them. They are
the foundation; and unless you begin
with these, not with fashy attainments,
a little geology, and all other ologies
and osophies, are ostentatious rubbish

Let U Have Reform in Game
bafgh Literature

The following sensible suggestions
from the Kansas Rctoymer apply in
Louisiana as we'll as in Kansas
One reason why many among on,
most intelligent and honorable citi-
zens will not engage actively in mol
,,tlcs, is the dread which every man
has of the filth and slime that those
who may be opposed to him throw
upon him, no matter how pure and
true he may be. Years Of upright
and honorable 'conlact arc no proof
against the abuses and downright
t;.iselleotls Of the bascst kind which
tollow;l nomination for office, The
discussion of public issues at stake
the differences ia the principles and
1lAtft,Fnls are secondary to the most
ingenieus ISLANDERS which may tend to
destroy the character Of the opponent.
Tho gross e1aggelation If every vir
tue on tho one hand, is only eg,,alled
by the uslprincipalled and yilluiuo1,
lies of the opposition.
The qttestiom which occurs to rea-
sOnnble MOrtals is, what is the pool
of all this And the result is. that y
very general .unbelief is created re-
gardi'lg all that is said. When men
say of a drunken and dislonorable
man, that he is pre-eminently quail
tied to fill the high position for which
iie has been nominated, which is very
common, people of common sense
say, it's only Il campaign lie" When
(. journal says of Il fair, average can
1idate,i W no has been selected Inv a
respectable number Of his fellow cit-
liens, that he is an incompetent idiot,
the reader passes it as Il pardonable
breach Of dccency and sense, because
1t ~ tod for campaign purposes.
The great harm that this kind of
foolish exaggc,ation does, is to keep
out Of politics mans of our best citi-
zchs who will not submit even for
patriotic purposes, tn be maIipned |
and abused. The country needs the
services Ut its hest men and to-day
from cur smaller local offices up to
the highest and must honorable posts
OF trust, there ia a reluctance OH the !
part OF 'neh who can bring ripe scl,ol-
afShip, good Judgment ~and clear
moral character, to run the gauntlet
