WHOLESOME ADVICE.

On the assembling OF the Police Court yes
terday morning the COURTROOM was full of
spectators. Judge W. A. Henry, in referring
to the aad scene that had been enacted in
front of the Court of justice the morning be.
fore, made the following remarks: Before
calling the calendar this morning desire TO
speak a word or two in the presence of the
crowd here assembled in regard to habit
which appears 70 have become common
among a certain class in this city. l refer to
the habit of carrying concealed weapons;
and if there are any young men present to
whom my remarks may apply, trust they
will take timsly hint and at once relisve
their persons Of the unnecessary weight of
such equipments, as well as their characters
of the debasipg iBhuerces of such q habit.
There are good men in this city, whose bust.
ness requires them to be up at late and un-
usual hours of the night, who sometimes find
it necessary to apply for permits to carry
weapons Of defense. On the other
hand, there are scores of persons who
seem to think it a proper thing to perambula.e
the streets in open day with dangerous and
deadly weapons concealed on their persons.
To such l would ssy. The possession of q pie
tol or bowie-k knife is not evidence OF any
at least ground of suspicion that brutality
and cowardice are characteristics of the
owner. You don't need these vile imple-
ments for defense. A better defense the
world over is a proper recognition OF the
golden rule, the study and practice of the
principles OF justice, integrity, reverence and
regard for the rights of Others. The law
should be strictly enforced. There is no
legitimate excuse for this ineiscriminete habit
of carrying concealed weapons. In its nature
it is the reverse of dignity and refinement.
1t is uncalled for, and repugnant to the
principles Of order and morality in civilized
community, and should be thoroughly con-
demned by public sentiment. It engenders
reckless spirit of strife and contention. It
provokes unwarrauted violence, frequently
ending in bloodshed and murder. The prac-
tice is presumptuous defiance of a law that
ought to be implicitly obeyed, and trust the
officers of the police force will be vigilant and
active in bringing TO justice those who wilt
fully and psrsistently violate its provisions.
