pound. II IL PRACTICALLY a pessimist.
Memory fails to recall the time when
its columns were not grooming
under some real or imaginary burden.
1t distorts the most trifling wrongs
into the most colossal misfortunes and
bewails ne small thing as the kick
OF mule with as much sincerity as If
II were national calamity. II is not
surprised that the Black Hand Socl-
ETY. exists In Spain, because WANDER
BIIT chooses to give a magnificent
party in New York. 1t would attrib-
ute the revolution OF Anarchists in
France to the hunger OF a street
Arab Ia America, or the work of
the Nihilists in Russia to the existence
Of poverty in another part of the uni
verse. Ere long IL will attribute the
eruption of Mount Etna TO the wick
edness of Chicago, or the overflow of
the Mississippi to enterprise of the
Missouri Republican. If all the news
papers were rs constant GROWERS at
the Post Dispatch, the 'silver lining
of the clouds, heralded in history and
hung on the pen Of the poet, would be
justly entitled TO the name of myth.

Conviction of Six Members of the
Armagh Assassination Society
Notes.

Belfast, March 27.-The Jury has
rendered a verdict of guilty in the case
I, of six members of the Armagh Assas-
sination Society, who were placed on
trial here yesterday. Counsel for the
defense mainly tried to impeach the
evidence given by the intormer named
Duffy. He argued the crown doubted
its own case because it had failed to
secure indictments on the men, who,
according to the evidence offered by
the crown, We're strongly implicated
in the crimes charged against the
prisoner, Counsel for the crown in
reply strongly asserted the compiled
W OF the Land League in the projected
murder of landlord Burke, through
Boyle, who was then treasurer of the
local league.

cannot fail to discover an absence OF
the usual cant about the absolute
safety of the British subject, no matter
where he may be, and the fine moral
discourses about the deplorable condi-
ton of affairs in Russia and other
monarchical governments. Until the

The Gibson Substitute /.

The Gibson substitute to the rail-
way commission bill has passed to EN-
grossment in the house. While it is
infinitely to be preferred to the origi.
nal bill /, contains some provisions
tn Il should be eliminated from the
bill before II passed. In considering
this measure legislators should divest
themselves OF all bias OF prejudice that
they may have absorbed or cultivated
and consider IL only in the light of the
interests involved between the rail-
ways and the people The mission OF
the railway is to accomplish the de-
velspment ofthe country, and in this
policy the railroad should be sustained
by the people. The in
terest of railways, proper
Is organized and managed,
is 20 dependent upon the people and
SO deeply involved in their prosperity
that II seems almost Impossible to inn
agine that the railways would In any
way, attempt To work any hardships
upon those TO whom they look for sus-
tenance. Selfish, designing and as
piring men, regardless of all the Cu-
ties of life, have labored and are laber-
ing TO cultivate the public mind and

A NEWSPAPER loses its influence
when II loses its temper. In order TO
mould public opinion a journal must
show that its own opinions are dispas-
slonate and devoid of prejudice and
that the questions il discusses nave been
calmly and deliberately considered
I and its conclusions reached without
! interest in the subject matter, and un-
influenced by personal motives.
/ Any other course pursued
by a journal aspiring to in
I fluence or direct public opinion
will inevitably result in discontinue.
The cold, naked and indisputable facts
must be presented clearly aud fairly,
and the conclusions must be the legiti-
mate result of the premise stated.
Thea and then only can a newspaper
hope to exend an influence among and
upon It's readers. Personalism, bigotry,
and prejudice will soon be discovered
by the inasses a want of confidence
and distrust in the integrity of the
paper WIZ 10 inc result, ana
IA reaction will follow which
will oyerwhelm all previous attempts
to direct public thought or official ac-
tlon into IA certain channel. The op.
position manifested by some of the
newspapers of Texas against the con
firmntion of the penitentiary leases
has been so violent and unreasonable,
so personal and bitter, that it has done
more to secure the confirmation of the
leases than any other agency. Men
cannot divest themselves of the ut
tributes of human nature sim
ply by donning the official
toga; neither are they expected to lay
aside their individual opinions and be-
come mere machines for tho execution
of the duties devolving upon the Office
into which they have been indicted.
Representatives are but men, and pos
sess the fraities and weaknesses of
their kind; their sympathies can be
aroused, and their judgments warped
aud distorted by their feelings, us
other men. The walls of
wrath which have been poured
out upon the penitentary lessees,
their friends, and the advocates of their
interests, has caused reaction in their
favor, and If the leases are confirmed
and the burdens they impose fastened
upon the people of Texas for fifteen
long years, the ill-tempered and bitter
opposition of some of the papers in
Texas will be, in a large degree, re-
sponsible for the result. There are
facts and figures enough to furnish ar
gument against the confirmation
OF the leases without attack
ing the personal character OF
any individual or impugning the
motives of any official who may favor
the leases. The GAZETTE has been
opposed, and is still opposed to the
confirmation of the leases, but il has
never sought to deny any person the
same right of opinion that it has main
tanned tor itselfi or impugned the mo-
tlves of any one who chose TO differ
with it, he il the governor of the state
or his humblest constituent. Should
, the Leases be confirmed, the result
should teach the press that moderation
is more effective than vituperation and
argument moro forcible than villifea
ton.
