A Case Of Law and Conscience.

The debate in the House OF Commons
mon the case Of Mr.. Bradlaugh promises
TO make him famous as a martyr and a
politician. Mr.. Bradiaugh is a very offer
sive person TO all those who believe IN
the Christian religion and in those ques-
tons Of public morality upon which the
safety of society rests. He represents
Radicalism in ali its forms, and we can
understand the objection Of many
Englishmen-of all who, at least. bs'ieSe
in the Church and the Cre~n-to sit with
him in Parliament. Bu. this Is not q
question of Mr.. Brsdlaugh's principles or
his conscience. II enters into the liberty
of the British subject and the independ-
ence of Parliament Mr.. Bradlaugh has
committed no crime. He is good c,ti-
zen so far as the law is concerned. He
has been elected to represent an English
constituency and comes as its representa-
tive into Parliament. He proposes, in
taking the oath, to obey the law literally.
Now, for Parliament to 60 beyond this
and to inquire into Mr. Bradlaugh's NEIL
tai processes or his religious belief. or
any declaration he may have made on
political or theological questions, and to
unseat him by the sheer force of stub
born majority, is TO establish precedent
menacing the freedom of the citizen and
the independence of Parliament
1t is strange that thesethings should be
done under the administration Of Mr.
Gladstone. Coming into power as libe-
raj government, Mr.. Gladstone has been
compelled to accept more violations Of
ancient constitutional British law than
any Minister since the Iia:e or the French
Revolution.

TIE editor Of the C,lio,, is very gener-
ous when other peoples property is being
sacrificed. He says that the Flume Com
pany ought TO he given the right OF way,
and also that the only published Reason
for net making the grant is simply by
reason of the fact .ha. DR.. Baker has
money invested IN the enterprise. Hum
bug. Johnson, you know better, snch
stuff as you get off is milk for babes
tell the truth when you write and not
make such abortive attempts TO mislead
what few readers you have. Tell them in
letters so large that he who runs may
read that the only reason for not granting
the right of way is only because the COM
pany either will not or cannot specify the
route where they wish to locate their
tract Giving right of way under these
circumstances is like giving you q blank
check to fill up in paying for a small sum
of money. Th-re is possibility that You
would not make improper use OF it. but
no one is going to trust you all the same.
And another thing johnson. before you
recommend any other measure 20 the city
council it may be as well for you to display
a little public spirit and not try 40 hard to
squeeze money out of the city as you have
done on the poor pretense that your prop
erty has been injured. The city recently
gave you 500 for damages which any
man of honor orspirit would havespnrned.

The lickspittle of the O'egonian, better
known a. the compiler of the gmon,
comes out with the sentiment that /" no
country paper need attempt to rival or

efforts Of the Union to assume the role OF
. newspaper it is very evident that the
Oresc,,ioa never need fear rivalry from
that sheet. Ii is far different with the
