WASHINGTON department clerks are ten
der-hearted, sympathetic lot, and ready to
respond to the cries of the unfortunate. Not
very long ago Miss Burr pretty girl en-
ployed in the bureau of engraving and print
ing, eloped with Mr.. Barnard, an elderly man
also employed in the same building. Mr..
Barnard left wife and four children in
Washington, as Miss Burr was well aware,
having frequently visited at his house. Now
it appears from fearful letters written by the
young woman to her old friends in the de-
partment that Mr.. Barnard is faithless, and
has left her in st. Joseph Mo-, without
money The old friends were so moved by
this sad state of affairs that they immediate

they are needed now, not so greatly as in the
age in which Luther lived, happily; but still
needed, and nowhere so much as in pre-
cisely the line on which Luther moved.
There are still bonds for mind and soul; still
inquisitions and Cardinal Cajetans and Tet-
zels; there are still those who cast out as
anathema maranatha those who may not
think precisely as they do, and who do not
adhere to creed and dogma as closely as
their critics think best; there are still those
who would make indulgences of churchly
forms, and who would look with complacence
if not allowance upon almost anything, so
long as an independent mind and heart
would agree not to disturb the eternal har-
monies of what they conceive to be settled
truth. There are still places in which the
investigator, the pathfinder, the pioneer,
the Independent thinker, is made to know
and feel that he is marplot disturber of
the peace, and fit only for ecclesiastical CEN

screw and rack and gibbet if this were the
fifteenth instead of the nineteenth century.
1t has not been long since Theodore Parker
and Ralph Waldo Emerson were cast
out as evil, and only a little longer
since John Wesley was the target for abuse
and detraction. In our day we have seen
courts organized for the trial of men for
opinions sake, whose lives have fairly dis
titled the dew of helpful grace, but who
could not subscribe to all the WORKOUT
dogmas which may have suited the world and
done their appropriate work a century ago.
Truth is absolute, but the pursuit of truth is
as variable as the minds of those who are
honestly searching for it; and ii will not do
for any man to say that the path by which
he has satisfied his soul is the only route, or
that the pearl he possesses is the only gem.
The spirit of Luther is the spirit of toler-
ance, of liperty-not license-of mental and
moral independence, of soul worship based
upon individual conscience, a conscience
which, striving faithfully, does the right as
God gives it to see the right, and says with
the great monk, who could not give up his
faith, "Here 1 stand; can do otherwise.
God help me-"

A MOVEMENT is reported among the resi-
dents of Washington City to secure the right
of suffrage. 1t is curious anomaly in our
federal arrangements that q certain district
of the country is set apart from the remain
der and the people inhabiting it deprived of
voice in the government under which they
live. That such an idea is hostile to the very
idea of popular government needs no argu-
ment. In government of the people it
must be fundamental principle that all the
people should be represented. A re-
public cannot be an oligarchy in
even a remote degree The rule Of
suffrage must apply to all men alike, quail
fed only by restrictions that bear equally
upon all. 1t were palpably undemocratic to
strip the people of Philadelphia or of Chicago
Of the right to vote. Such a proposition
nation, not only in those cities, but in the
remotest sections of the country. The wood
chopper In Maine and the cowboy on the
plains of New Mexico would vote
solluly against Sucn an undem-
ocratic idea. The same principle,
so obnoxious in these supposed cases, is in
force in the city OF Washington. There can
be no good reason for such exception. The
wrong should not longer be perpetuated. 1t
would be difficult to conjure up any excuse
for the Acknowledgement of city of 100, 900
inhabitants. The fact that it is the capital of
the republic would seem to argue for rather
than against the right to vote. AS we'll
might the heart of man be expected to
stand still while the other organs perform
their respective functions.
The effect can but be baneful to the people
thus crippled The highest privilege of
American citizenship is the right to voice
in their own affairs. Deprived of this, they
are but lookers-on and cannot take that in
terest so essential to good government. The
people of Washington are probably as intel
ligent and have as much at stake as the peo-
pie of any other city or section of the coun-
try. No good can come from a longer denial
of what is justly theirs

Nor long since, when the Journal said the
ciyil-rights bill was passed not for communi
ties in which the equal rights of all men were
recognized, but where they were denied
not for Massachusetts, but for South Caro-
lina-the Charleston News and Courier tartly
informed us that South Carolina had very
string ent civl-riehts law on its statute book,
passed in 1869. We then asked our esteemed
contemporary to be kind enough to say
whether the law was passed by a Republican
or Democratic Legislature, and whether
there had ever been any convictions and re-
coveries under it in favor of colored plain
Courier will not pretend that there
have been no occasions when the equal rights
of negroes have been abridged in that State,
and when the provisions of this stringent
law could very we'll have been put into
active operation. We have not been favored
with direct reply to this question, but the
News and Courier of Friday last has a
column editorial upon "The South Carolina
Civii-rights Law" in which we find this
statement:
''The first civil-rights law in this State was
enacted in 1862 1t was amended in 1870
and subsequently, As it stands, it is as
sweeping in its provisions and prohibitions
as the United States law which has been pro-
nounced by the Supreme Court to be uncon-
stitutional. There has not been. so
far as we know, a single prosecution under
the State civil-rights law since 1t was
enacted"
That is what we presumed. And it is to
be further observed that the occasion of the
News and Courier's article is a demand by
of this law!

THE truth is, the measure remained law
long enough to tide the coIored people over
an era of prejudice and persecution. Now
that they have come out more fully into the
sunlight-have entered upon an era when
everywhere, the sex or color or wealth of a
human being has less weight than his or her
character and intelligence-the colored man
can succeed much better than he formerly
could even with the civil-rights law to aid
him. "-Laporte Herald and Chronicle.

TWO brothers on one side and three on the
other had desperate fight at Pnesville, La,
on Tuesday, over the word ''amen" The entire
party is presumably religious. At least all of
them were at a prayer-meeting on Saturday
night, and one of the parties of the first part,
named Lacroix, was praying when one of the
WilIbanks ventured hearty "amen." This
would have been all right, ordinarily But the
Lacroix who was praying declared that 1t was
not interjected at the proper time. Well, of
course nothing would do but to fight it out.
Several OF the combatants were severely stabbed,
The result of the fight is not yet determined,
and people are left in doubt to the proper
time to say "amen.'' The outcome will be
watched with interest

THE Richmond Palladium saws:

''There a number OF suits now pending in
our Circuit Court against farmers ana trades
men of this neighborhOod who have lost large
sums of money by putting up pork as it is
called, that is by procuring some pork packing
house in Cincinnati or Indianapolis to purchase
hogs for them and slaughter the animals. pack
the pork and retain it till ordered to sell. The
greater part of the money for these transactions
is furnished by the Cincinnati or Indianapolis
firms, the farmer usually depositing with them
a margin to protect them against loss. If
pork goes up high enough to pay in
terest on the money loaned, commissions
on purchase and sale, loss on dead
hogs,' and expenses of packing and storage, IaIl
goes well, but if the market begins to go
down, the farmer is telegraphed for in great
haste to furnish more margins at once, and IL
he fails, not only is his pork sold out at a loss,
and his deposit forfeited, but he is frequently
held liable for a large deficiency. In this way
many OF our citizens have lost nearly all they
possessed. 1t is difficult to condemn too
severely this method of operating. Men who
indulge in speculation of this nature have little
cause to denounce gambling in other forms. The
spirit of venture, the desire to win enormous
profits by taking great risks, is exactly the same
motive which induces men to stake fortunes on
the turn of a card But though have little
sympathy for those who lose at such game, we
still would like to see it fairly played, and when
all the knowledge and experience is on one side,
when party is skillful and the other mel pless,
we cannot always be sure that the dice are not
loaded"

vile riot the result Of the cvil-rights decision
of the Supreme Court. Such papers have surely
forgotten the past experience of the negroes in
Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana and South Caro-
lima. The decision of the Supreme Court had no
bearing whatever on the political rights of the
negro. In most of the Southern States the negro
vote was q nuiJy years before the civilrights

The civil-rghts decision was not the cause of
the Danville Democratic murders; but we pre-
sumo even the Trbune-News will not say that
that decision strengthened the position of the
negroes in the Southern States, where accord
ing to our Evansville contemporary, even the
right. of the colored man to vote has been a
nullity for years.
