pitality-The Legislature Vigorously Con-
demned and Gov. Porter Upheld.
The Liberty of the United States.
Tore Haute Express.
1t is easy to be misled by the careless lib
erty we have, but it will always be as ex-
pressed by the English premier on the occa-
sion of the Fenian raid in Canada; 'Lati-
tide is given in the United. States to all ex-
pressions of public feeling, and to anything
short of the actual violation of the law, yet,
as soon as the law was plainly about to be
violated, vigorous and decided measures were
taken by the United States to prevent a vio-
lation of its own laws and the rights of
friendly States" Now, as then, there is op-
p~ortunity for the extremes of sympathy and
moral support, but America must always be
the Great Neutral.
The Defects of the School System.
Greensburg Standard.
The wrong of the present school system is
in this: The poor man who is compelled to
withdraw his child from school when it be-
comes large enough to earn something for
the family, having perhaps gotten through
the three RS" is still compelled to pay
taxes to the extent of his small means that
the children of the rich may reap the adj
v~antages OF a high school or academic educa-
tlOl. lnlS Is leRdllZ6Q TODDeTg-HOlLllS
short. 1t is taxing the poor man-little it
may be, but that little is much to him-for
that which, under the necessities of his stu
ton, he cannot receive and enjoy.
The Senate and the metropolitan Bill
Richmond Palladium.
One statement Senator Brown makes is of
general interest. He says Bell was opposed
to the metropolitan police bill until Fort
Wayne was stricken out; when he supported
1t, Thereby showing he was willing to force
upon others that which he would not submit
to himself" That Is true of the whole Dem
ocratic majority in the Senate. That ma
jority forced an unjust law upon two of the
cities of the State, knowing it to be unjust
and for merely partisan purposes. Each
senator would have repudiated it if il had
been applied to his own constituents.
Abuse of American Hospitality.
North Manchester Journal.
Whilst it is true that America is the land
of the free, it is fast becoming the asylum of
agitators and red-handed murderers, that flee
from the country of their birth to escape the
punishment for crime that causes humanity
to shudder. The moment their government
gets upon their tracks they HE themselves to
America upon a business trip, of course. and
here plot and scheme to destroy their home
government. This abuse of the hospitality
OF a generous people must stop, if the rights
of governments is to be maintained as against
the machinations of bad men.
Their Harvest Ended. and Not Saved.
Warren Republican.
Democracy had ample time in which to
make hay during the regular session, and
for the very precious little good that was
done they have none but themselves to
blame. Their harvest is over and their sum-
mer ended, and the people are glad it was
no worse. All praise to Governor Porter for
his course and backbone toward the fellows
who tried to compel him to act against his
better judgment and the interests of the
people of the State. No, the people do not
suffer from the need of such a disaster.
No Protest Against His Principles.
Warren County Republican.
There were numerous protests from the
Democratic party against the course of Lieu
tenant-general Heffren in the late Legisla-
ture, but they were all against his indiscre-
ton, and the consequent injury to his party.
We have yet to hear the first word condemn
ing his principles. So it was merely a selfish
fear that prompted them, not an objection to
his reasonable instincts. There is no evil
dence that the latter have not been accepta-
BILE to the party.
