Newspaper Honor.

(col. q. A. Pierces address at Fort wsyne.l
A short time ago discussion arose
I'm Chicago as to the relative duties OF
lawy ers and newspapers, and the ioi-
lowing query occurred to me: what
would be said of any respectable
journal that would take fee
for irving to make black appear white
that should undertake the defense
of a notorious murderer, for instance?
Not secretly, aud while pretending TO
be impartial that, OF course, would be
intensely hypocritical and dishonora-
hle-but openly and VIGOROUSLY? The
accused party would say, for instance:
II want defenders. | will hire Lawyer

sou What an cutlery would 20. up,

About the Strike.
ll,hicarn Inter.ncean.

"
The telegraph strike has now been
in progress three weeks, and the pros
pect OF any agreement between the
brotherhood and the telegraph COM
punies seems as far oil as ever.
Indeed, the telegraph companies,
while saying they are willing to ar
range with and give employment to
those who went out on the strike,
openly declare that they will in no
case acknowledge or treat with the Sc
crst organization which brought the
strike about and is responsible for all
the consequent troubles.
Hitherto the Inter ocean has con-
tented itself with the publication OF
the news, giving both the telegraph
companies and the strikers full oppor-
tunits to state their grievances IN us
columns; but as n conseryator or the
public good il seems that the time has
come TO speak out against wasteiul
idleness that is injurious
to public business, and
heavy tax on WorKlngmeii
who can i'll afford to bear it. The ma
iority of the strikers must be convinced
bv this time of the hollowness OF the
promises of their leaders, even If they
do not begin to suspect hat they are
the victims of Wall street stock-job'
bling schemes. lfthey have lost their
implicit confidence ia the wisdom and
| virtue of their leaders. and regret
hasty action, they have only the com
mon experience of mankind. It's the
weakness of the race that we cannot
foresee events 10 come as clearly AS We
can observe results that have become
accomplished facts, and the result /:
continual mistakes. There is but one
wey to reciify them, and that is to re,
pudiate the misleading elements and

A LITTLE MISTAKEN.

According to the Baltimore
1merica,a Hon. Randolph Tucker
calls Maryland and Virginia twin
sisters" This may pass as a rhetor-
ical flourish, but it defes histori
cal truth. There was only about
q quarter of century's interval
between the birth Of these so call
ed trims, and it SO happens that
one of those States was cut out OF
the loins of the other, very much
to the dissatisfaction of that other.
Read your history more carefully,
Mr.. Tucker

ference to the Committee, we have
heard considerable doubt express
ed as to its constitutionalty. It is
claimed that the petition for any
change must be made to the legis-
ture by the County Court, and
only through them can it be made
valid. A petition Of citizens will
not answer The constitution
does not speak of the application
being made by citizens of a coun-
ty, but it seems to us to contem-
plate that the Legislature is not
expected or required to act until
the county, through it's county
court, should act.
We call the Judiciary Commit
tees affection to this matter, and
ask them, if they have not already
done so, to make a close and care
full examination.

SMALL POX.

llere are TWO cases OF small
pox in Martinsburg' Both cases
are under strict quarantine, and
are doing well. No fears are en-
tertaired of the disease spreading
from the two cases already re-
ported, but it can hardly be ex-
pected that no new cases will be
brought from outside. Our close
proximity and daily communication
with Baltimore, where the disease
is epidemic and daily on the in
crease renders it almost impossi-
BILE to escapes with the two cases
we now have.
In view of these facts it becomes
matter of the highest Importance
that every citizen of the town
should be properly vaccinated.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. Everything pos
sible will be done by the authori-
ties to confne the disease to the
families where it may first appear,
with a view to stamping it out. To
be successful in this they must
have the cheeli'll and willing CO
operation of the citizens. Families
must see thot their children have
been vaccinated, and give moral
support to the authorities in every
effort to prevent the increase and
to stamp out the disease.
Our country f,iends need not
be alarmed aud I, fuse to come to
town. There is not the slightest
cause for staying away at present,
and we propose to give the whole
truth in regard to the disease in
Martinsburg, no matter whether it
be good or bad If it should I'M
fortunately come to that point
when it would be dangerous for
people to come to town, we will
advise them to stay away. Rely
upon it, the INDEPENDENT will seek
to conceal nothing, but will give
the whole tcuth, be it good or
bad. We hope soon to report thlt
we have not a case in our midst,
but if it proves otherwise, we will
report correctly all the same.

HOUSE BILL NO. |.

We have received a communi-
cation from Hon. G.. +. Evans in
regard to his bill for changing the
county court of Berkeley,to which
we incidentally referred last week.
Mr.. Evans is correct in his state
ment that the Bill was submitted
to one of the editors of this paper
and received his endorsement,
provided, there was no constitu-
tional objection. The general
principle of the Bill, which gives
every district direct representa-
ton in county affairs, meets with
our appreciation. We have always
been in favor of the old Supervisor
plan of managing county affairs,
when properly carried out by the
proper kind of men. We called
attention to Mr.. Evans Bill for the
purpose of evoking discussion on
that point. We notice that the
Judiciary Committee, to whom it
was referred, have reported it back
with the recommendation that it
be passed. Still, with all due de-

STATE SCHOOL TAX.

The same old proposition to in
crease the State school tax from
10 to 20 cents on the 500 has
been, as usrol, sprung in the leg
islature. Two years ago it was
only defeated by few votes. I'm
der the provisions of the bill few
of the wealthy counties would
be compelled to pay double the
amount now paid for the benefit
of the interior counties of the
State. Berkeley and Jefferson
counties, under this bill would be
compelled to pay about $4,000 for
the support of schools in distant
counties. The whole tendency of
the bill is to make the free school
system unpopular in the most
prosperous counties of the State,
and it ought to be defeated.
