Of citizens of the United States, or deprive
them of life, liberty, etc; and that the only
legislation authorized by the Amendment was
. corrective legislation, in case such laws were
made Inv States. or such acts committed by their
officers, Justice Harlan's position Is, practical
" that Congress has the right, under these
amendments, by affirmative legislation, to pro-
tect life, liberty and property, and legal rlgh'S
generally, within the States. The court mas
steadily held otherwise, and has maintained
that it could afford protection only against the
action of States and their officers ana agents.
and not against the acts of individuals In the
case of Cruikshank, the court released election
officers who had refused the vote of negro
Int had not acted under State law. In the hu-
Kin, cases that came up from Tennessee, the
corrt denied the right of the United States to
nrrisb y conspiracy of individual citizens
within the State against the pubic peace
Justice Harlan goes so far as to claim that hotel
keepers, railway corporations ana the IKE are
agents of the State, because amenaDle 10 puDhc
regulation. and that denial by them OF civil
rights is q denial by the State WITHIN the
meaning of the XIVth Amendment"
This is surely straining the Constitution until
II cracks. The purpose of written COnstltu-
ton is TO fix the law. We must adhere to the law
az written. or lose ourselves on sea OF doubt
and confusion. The meaning of these amend
mcnts is plain. One abolishcs slavery, abolish
ing what is commonly known az slavery-ho'
giving power to punish acts which may by
forced construction, be regarded as badges Oh
slavery. The other prohibits any "State' from
infringing upon the rights of citizens. II their
clear meaning could be distorted to Justice
Harlan's view, it would only be to gain tenn
porary advantage in matter of little practical
moment by the sacrifice of great principles.

BFtL ESTtTE REFORM.

The real estate dealers have at length under
taken to establish an exchange. The objects
proposed are reasonable. and the dealers Will
no dnnbt find an organization and common
place of meeting helpful to them in their buSl-
ness. But they have it in their power to render
a great service to the public also. If they make
their organization an agency for tho concrn-
tration of public opinion and influence in favor
of a thorough reform in the method OF aSccr-
tanning and transferring real estate titles, they
will command popular appreciation and sup
port which no mere association for the convcn-
fence of dealers only can obtain.
II is an axiom. almost, in business matters
that the value of u property Is greatly en-
HANGED by making il easy to establish ami to
transfer ownership in it. There are thousands
of persons, in "A city like this. who would like to
own a home. even though modest ana cheap
one. but who arc deferred, first by the delay
and difficulty and cost of examining TITLE
and next by the certainty that the same delay
and difficulty would arise if they should ever
need the money more than the home, ana
finally by knowledge that the demand for such
propcrty is limited because others like them
selves are deferred. If it were possible to buy
a little home as quickly and readily, with rs lit
tlc risk and as little expense, a. 1t Is To buy a
cargo of grain OF a bond or certificate OF stock,
there would be many applicants for such prop
crty where there now are none. Then, too, II
every buyer knew that the number OF other APP
plicants would he increased by the Same iaclll-
ties which open the way for him, and that he
could transfer the property to any other owner
when the two agree on TERMS as quickly ana
with ~ little trouble rs he can transfer share
of stock or bale of cotton, another serious
obstacle would be removed.
More buyers would insure better prices for
holders of real property. But a Simplicaton
of real estate titles would also lead To greater
facilities for the use of such property rs cOllat-
cral security in loans The more ready asccr-
tainmcnt of titles the saving of expense and
trouble in determining whether security Is
sufficient, would tend to make purchases posi-
Bile for great number of persons who are now
dcbarred from purchasing. If the dealers in
real estate seek to promote the permanent in
tcrcst3 of those who deal with them, they will
regard the reform in titles rs the most import
ant object to be promoted by the organization
of i'm exchange.

"Thc-hcartS of the people, says The Demo-
cratic Adrdncc care get upon historic Justice
being done in 1851" Reading little further
along in the article we find out what The Al
rance means by historic Justice - in 1881. It
means the old ticket, 1idcn and Hendricks!
Some folks never could distinguish between
"hstoric Justice" and post-mOrtcm card play
ing. "Thc great fraud if there was a great
fraud was committed in 1S7G-'77. Obviously
then, historic Justice was in order in 1850.
But when Democracy came to nominate a Prcsi-
dent and Nicc-Prcsidcnt in 1880, they posi-
lively declined to dilatc with the emotion of
"historc JUSTICE Tildrn and Hendricks were
moi rcmominatcd. Why not Wen, the fact of
the matter is that the Democracy thought that
they could fire the popular heart with a soldier.
The soldiers name was llancDck-a good man
weighing 200 pounds. That consideration was
fatal to the historic Justice" racket. If Han
cock had not been available, doubtless in a dis
trrssing stress of circumstances "hstoric JUS
tice" would have been allowed to assert itself
it being understood that historic justice" and
desperation were convertible terms.
Are the people "sct upon historic justice
in 1SS42 The Adcdnce says they are. What
more stcrnly "sct upon it in 1881 than they
were in 1880, and if 50 why2 In 1850 there
was no great popular uprising in behalf of his
toric justice visible TO the naked eye. Have the
people resolved, made IA memorandum to get
madden about tie great fraud eight years
after 4" the great fraud Occurred than they
were four years after it occurred! VIZ suspect
there is some mistake. "What are you up TO ?"
inquired the man of the small boy whom he
found digging at the entrance of Il woodchuck' :
hole am trying to dig out w0odc buck"
was the reply. The man laughed heartily and
then said "Why my boy, you can't dig out u
woodchuck." The boy without pausing in his
work, exclaimed: stranger, pvc got to dig him
Out-wc're out of meat at hum.'
Democracy cannot make any Roadway with
its LOT fraud and historic justice talk.

Upon the Board of Education now rests the
entire responsibility for our numerous unhealth-
full schoolhouscs. The Health Boards inSpec-
tors have examined the buildings ndrcportcd
such changes as are necessary to make them
proper places for the children to stay in. Inc
renairs would cost $50 900. This is certainly
not1nuch when it is remembered i'll what bad
condition many of these schools have long been.
And vet the Commissioners of Education
Yesterday coolly said they really could not
afford to spend what the Health Board advised
They voted that about $4,000 must be their
limit of expenditure in this direction That
decision was a great mistake. 1t is matter OF
first importance that what schoolhouscs we do
have shall be kept in a proper sanitary condi-
ton; and it is ridiculous to suppose that ont OF
the millions appropriated for educational pur-
poses in this city $4,000 cannot be spent III
repairs which the Health Board declares ncccS-
sary. The members of this Board of Education
have made several bad blundcrs OF late, but the
one they made yesterday is more serious than
all the rest.

What the Chinese Government says IN its
circular, recently sent out to foreign Powers Ill
regard to the Tonquin complications, and now
made public, is all true enough. 1t cannot be
honestly denied that the Kingdom OF Anam mas
been for centuries tributary to the Ia Using
dynasty, nor that France should respect TINS
relation neither can it be denied that 'he
French have conducted their negotiations IN an
unfrendly way. But they have been guilty oil
more than that, and if the Chinese were gong
to send out bill of particulars at all against
their enemy, they might just as well have made
il longer and stronger. They might have men
toned, for instance, French unrcasonableneSS
in regard to the neutral belt in Tonquln' the
sending of false dispatches to be read to the
Deputies and the open confession of rapaclous-
ness which NJ. Ferry made the other day. Yet
the circular is good-what there is OF it and 1t
means war.

fully made up their minds that they are under

Of late years, especially since the Signal
Service has been in full operation, great dis
aster on the Upper Lakes has been rare. The
commanders of the propellers are sllilful and
cautious men, and they take few risks. Captain
Mckay, of the Manistee, was especially brave
and careful, and yet the sad news has come that
his vessel, with passengers and crew, has gone
down in Lake Superior. This calamity and the
loss of eighty eight lives by the sinking of the
French brig ROcaberg in mid-Ocean are the
saddest features of the mornings news.

although many months have passed away since
the accident, the public prosecutors are not

Shockingly overdrest.

While he was told that she,
Though dressing rather plainly,
Was rich as rich could be.
She was weary of teaching;
Here was splendid show,
Capture this wealthy dudley,
Then of to Europe go.

Sewing machines on time,
And being pushed too often
Down to his bottom dime.
Here was wealthy lady.
She'd be a splendid catch
Up loomcd an easy future,
Ii he could make the match.
She was quitc condescending,
Smiling to see the way,
That, through her skilltul planning,
Dude fell an easy prey.
The lazy waves are plashing,
The sky looks soft and blue,
a happy pair are sitting
Away from public view.
Their arms arc round each other,
Their warm young lips have met,
The schoolmarm feels quite happy,
And SO Goes he, ''you bet"
Alas! for human passions,
Alas fer broken vow,

And didn't even bow.

Which looked the bigger fool.
