The temperance league at Columbus
undertook to enforce the liquor laws of
the State. They had number of wit
nesses subpen@d to testify before the
Grand Jury. They were sworn by the
clerk, and. remained near the door of
the jury room all day, but the Grand Jury
refused to permit them to testify 1t is
said that the foreman of the Grand Jury
is himself liquor seller. The following
is a portion of the oath administered to
every Grand Jury in Ohio
"You shall diligently inquire, and true pre-
sentiment make, of all such ma tiers and things
shall be given you in charge, or otherwise
come to your knowledge, touching your present
service. +" You shall present no person
through malice, hatred or ifl-will nor shall
you leave any person unpresented through
fear, favor or affection, or for any reward or
hope thereof"
Is there no law in Ohio to send Grand
Jurors to the penitentiary when they
commit willful and corrupt perjury? If
there is not, such statute should be
enacted at the very next session of the
Legislature We call the attention of
Mr. Harrison, and other members of the
Legislature to this matter.

LYING.

We heard sermon on lying recently.
1t was a good thing-most excellent, and
very much needed But we think the
speakers definition of lying was not the
best. If we correctly understood him,
his definition was substantially this: A
lie is a deception with bad motive, or
where the deception works harm to the
person deceived, or where the person
using the deception hopes to derive ben
eft therefrom at the expense of the party
deceived. The speaker claimed that
there might be deception without lying.
where the motive was good, or the end
to be attained laudable one We enter
our protest AL deception is lying, and
the end neveT can justify the means. Let
us put case in point. A mother has a
sick, weak, fretful, peevish child. The
physician prescribes bitter medicine
and tells the mother that it Is essential
that it take it at once, and it is also i'm
portant that the child be not irritated or
fretted The medicine is mixed, the
child utterly refuses to take 1t, and COM
mences crying. The mother does not
desire to force it, which is right, if she
can possibly avoid it. So she tells the
child that it is very good-sweet-she
takes up a little sugar and calls the
child's attention. to the fact that she
sweetens it. The child stops crying, and
begins to think about it. The mother
tastes the medicine and declares that it
is real sweet and good, winks at an older
child, gets it to taste it and also declare
how good it is. The poor child thus de-
ceived by its own mother and little
sister swallows the nasty stuff, and at
once finds that its nearest and dearest
friends have cruelty lied to it and de
ceived it. Here the motive of the
mother was one of the best and purest
and there was no intention to wrong the
person deceived, but on the other hand
the deception was intended to save it:
| life. But would it not have been better
for that mother to have buried tina
child while it believed her to be homes
and truthful, than to teach it she was /;
liar2 1t would be pretty apt to practic'
the same game that mother had taugh
it, when opportunity offered. We hav'
our independent way of thinking, anC
we regard all deception as lying anC

AT fifteen minutes past seven o'clock
on Saturday, May 23d, the Senate of the
United States passed the Civil Rights
Bill, by vote of % to 16, after a session
of 20 hours. The Democratic party, the
supporters of Horace Greeley for Presi-
dent in 1872, spoke and voted against
this much needed measure of justice to
the colored race The bill now goes to
the House of Representatives, and there
is a fair prospect that it will become a
law. The Republican party owes it to
the country, and to the colored man, and
to christian civilization, that this great
measure of justice become the law of the
