We here reproduce an article from
the Brenhan Banner, under the cap
ton of "Pnblic Opinion VS.. Public
Sentiment which contains more truth
than poetry. 1t says; "a conviction
is gaining ground among those who
read and think, that the courts are be-
coming farce. Convictions are the
exception and not the rule. Grand ju-
ries find indictments that are frivolous.
and sometimes fail to find indictments
that would, with due diligence by the
prosecution, result in conviction
Again, grand juries have been selected
for certain purposes, and it has been
known to portion of the public before
hand that certain parties supposed to
have committed certain olienses would
not be indicted. Public opinion
condemns such action, but public SEN
timent winks at it, and what between
the two, the rectiication of the evil
being everybody's concern, nobody
takes any steps to have it corrected.
Until public opinion and public senti-
inent harmonic, there can DO but lit
tie hope for the better. So long a. the
masses Of the people are disposed to
put up witha lax administration of the
law and elect men to Office who do
not enforce the laws, the existing con
dition Of affairs will continue. 1t "a
perhapa almost needless to say, in this
connection, that the laws as they stand
on the statute books arc ample and on
ly need enforcement

much bitterness was manifested. a

central committee to call peoples

A TERRIBLE accident occurred about
10 o'clock on the night of the 23rd ON
the Detroit river, some nine miles be-
low Detroit, Mich. The excursion
steamer Garland, with twelve hundred
persons ON board, under the auspices
of the Detroit molders' union, while
going down the river collidod with the
steam yacht Mamie, coming up, cut
ting her in two, so that she almost in
stantly sank, The latter had on board
twenty-four persons, only four Of
whom escaped. The night was bright
with moonlight and there would seem
to have been no reason save that of
criminal neglect why the accident
should have occurred. None of the
bodies have been recovered.

Thanksgiving is older than the United

before the Revolution the old Governors
Of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode
Island and New Hampshire, issued
their proclamations. calling on oil peo
pie. on a stated day, to give thanks for
the favors of the past, aud imploring
remembrance III the future. This Gus.
tom. ns old as the settlement of the
country, wns continued, from genera.
ton To generation, until within tie past
diteen years. Now Se have it, '.Iu
accordance with the proclamation OF the
President of the United States"
a.. There should be a change made in
the form OF these Thanksgiving procla.
nations. There Is no law governing
them. Anyone, 6overnor, or of less, or
nc authority cuu issue them. One day
in the year ought to be sacrediy ob-
served TO that cud. and il would be prob.
ably better IL rule, or law, were adopted
that the Chief Executive OF the country
should nominate diy, rather than
leave it TO the choice of n promiscuous
crowd Of OF Governors OF States.
