charges ofcoruption. are ofthemselves
indications Of an unsound sentiment
in society, ard are to be deplored. No
good citizen. no patriot no competent
or worthy lawyer, no lover of Justice
except it be hastily or unthoughtedIy
will indulge in such remarks. unless
backed by the most palpable and pos
tive proofs possible.
Such criticisms as some OF our ex.
changes have indulged in, indicate that
they would have organized the jury in
this particular case to convict, a state
Of affairs, which if accomplished would
be quite as deplorable as that Of which
they complain.
That Frank James may have some
personal friends, who are democrats,
that desire and work for his acqulttal
is true, but that the great mass Of the
law.abiding, respectable democratic
citizens of Missouri, either sympathise
with, or would connive for his escape
from justice is certainly SANDER. The
time has surely come when such child
ish statements on the part OF both re.
publicans and democrats should be
dropped on the principle that every
good man and honest cit zen. demo-
crat, greenbacker or republican, is
equally concerned IN the good name
of his state. the administration of JUS
tice. the majesty of the law and the
preservation of life and property. The
fact that the "fools are not all dead"
ought not to be stored up against eth
er party, for it seems to be a part of
the inscrutable and mysterious work.
ings of providence that such should be
permitted to exist in the present stage
of our social DEVELOPMENT, but it is to
be hoped that as time passes the better
sentiment. which always comes upper
most in the end, will gradually elm.
mate such Unbalanced organisms from
its midst.

proper thing now for the democracy to

tober presents most attractive table
o. contents. Senator N. P. Hill writes
of "Gold and Silver as standard of Val.
ue," and maintains that silver should be
coined as we'll as gold, not for the pur.
bose of initiating the currency, neither
in the interest Of the silver-mining in.
dustry, but for the broader and more
equitable purpose of preserving uni
formity in the value of metallic money.
In "Some Aspects of Democracy In
England" A. Y. Dicey makes clear to
the American reader how it is that
while all the forms of monarchy and
aristocracy persist in Britain, the dem.

of the government. Under the trtle of

America, whose mode of life and
whose implements appear to have
been identical with those of the :aces
that contemporaneously inhabited the
Mediterranean countries, the Nile basin
and the tropical forests of India. The

HAsTY CRITICISM.

We RETAINED from commenting or
the verdict in the Frank James tria
last week purposely. We remember
ed, first, that the jury is sworn body
of men who are the sole judges OF the
facts presented to them and second,
that any criticism or censure not based
on a posihve knowledge of actual cor
ruption would not only be an injustice
but would also be fraught with harm
to public morals and the majesty ol
the law itself under which iuries are au-
thorlzed. 1t should be carefully kept
in mind that the greatest criminal in
the land is entitled, along with the
humblest citizen, to fair trial, and
that whatever of doubt there may be
in the case, the benefit of that reason
able doubt belongs to the man whose
life is placed in the judicial balances.
A government or law court that could
not afford even Judas Iscariot these
safe guards, would be a travestry on
justice and humanity. Whenever a
state or a community SO warp and
misdirect the course Of justice that men
are eonuitted or acquitted, as the case
may be, on general principles, or IN
compliance with public prejudice, or
popular clamor, law and liberty, as
well as life and property are in 'jeopar-
dy, and justice becomes mockery.
As to the sweeping charge that the
democrats of Missouri are responsible
for, and desirous of the acquittal of
Frank James, we believe ithas no more
foundation, in fact, than does the coun-
ter-charge made by just as 'fool-head-
ed" partisans on the other side that ie-
pubhcans are responsible, as republ-
cans, for the acqulttal Of Dorsey" and
his gang. In the latter case while the
whole country and perhaps the jury
itself might be well satisfied that the
government had been plundered, yet
if the specific charge of conspiracy"
was not proven, they could, not as
jury, return any other verdict There
are other charges against Frank James
which are to be passed upon and it is
possible he may yet be convicted and
but every reasonable citizen
who stands possessed of any real man
hood, will see at once that no good
md can be served by averdict of gull
y" on any unproven or doubtful
.ha,ge. The conviction and punish
nent Of a prisoner. by the forms Of
aw. without sufficient evidence or up
m d,sreputable testimony. is far more
|emoralizing to community than even
mob violence, from the fact that It des-
roys the basis Of law ITSELF

EDITORIAL NOTES

The necessity for change in
this State is becoming more and more
pressing as time passes. Many demo-
Gratis are ripe fol revolt against the
ring rule which parcels out rewards
and honors, TO its favorites without re-
gard to merit, fitness or long service.
Whether James G. Blaine will
consen. to be a candidate on the Re-
publican national ticket or not we
know of no other man, now before the
the country, better endowed with the
qualities calculated to draw out the
enthusiasm OF the masses. and to give
us an aggressive campaign next year.
He is able. eloquent and magnetic
and withal is something more than
mere politician.
Whether President Arthur is the
coming man, or not on the republican
ticket in 's4, as many PREDICT one
thing at least is evident, and that is
he has wonderfully increased his hold
on the public esteem in the past year.
Few men could have assumed power
under such circumstances and SO Sue
cessfully administered affairs. If he
makes no Serious blunder during the
balance of his term he will be
entitled the distinguished honor of be-
ing the first really successful Vice
President, called to the presidency.
There is nothing more advan-
tageous to a community than live,
thorough, and active, unity among all
its ci:lzens concerning all matters cal.
culated to build it up or increase its
prosperity. Like the Esprit de Coyts
OF an army. it is the one thing
neeoful, above everything else
and . many a community can at
tribute Its prosperity on the one hand
or It's decadence, on the other, to the
degree that it possesses or lacks this
spirit. To this end trade combinations,
manufacturing and building associa-
tions, and all such organizations that
unite and concentrate business efforts,
are beneficial, not so much in the par.
ticular things that they accomplish, as
in the unity of effort AMI good will
they promote in a community. No man
is so rich that he can afford to live
isolated from his neighbors, and no
one so poor, but he may make him.
self a useful factor of his community if
he so chooses.

Men, more than ever before, are
organizing themselves into socieies for
their mutual protection and social en-.
joyment. No person is so perfect that
he does not,need improvement by social
contact and the educational influences
of companlonship. In proportion as
men live alone they become unsocial
and incapable Of human sympathy,
which is SO necessary to the right CON
duct of good citizenship and proper liv-
ing. Chrltianlty seeks its fellows and
makes the most of the opportunities of
meeting together. for conference and
such social and religious fellowship as
have been found by experience to be
profitable in the advancement and cul-
ture ofa higher life. And as the world
owes whatever Of good things we have
to the principles taught by Jesus and
his apostles, it is expedient that al
shall initiate their exam pie, and follow
ir the footsteps OF their followers. if we
would be made better and fulfill the
grand purpose of ourbeing.
