The Rev. DIR. Kirkus, an English
clergyman, rector of the Church of
St. Michael and AL Angels, in Bal
timore, Md, vigorously attacked the
Sunday and liquor laws, two Sab
baths ago. DR.. Kirkus instanced
Sunday laws and liquor prohibition
laws. He characterized such laws
as tyrannous in principle and impos-
sible of execution. There never has
been a civilized society which did
not habitually Use and very largely
abuse alcoholic stimulants. Their
use is as universal as the use of cook.
ed meat instead of raw meat; and
for whose benefit are these laws in.
tended? Clearly not for the benefit
of their promoters. Nobody propos
es q law compelling them to drink,
They have no personal grievance
1t must be intended, then, either to
benefit nobody or to benefit the PEG
pie who do not want it, who regard
it as a monstrous tyranny, and who
will certainly resist it by every pos.
sible means at their command. The
ten thousandth part of those who
use alcoholic stinulants never were
or are never likely to be intoxicated
Is it within the legitimate functions
of Government to protect men by
physical force from all the possible
temptation or occasions Of crime?-
What'kind of monastic institutions
and vigorous seclusions would moi
be necessary to protect men from
every temptation or occasion Of
breaking, for instance, the seventh
commandment?

The opinion is now almost universal
here that the only possibility of es=
cape for the defendants is through
some failure on the part of members
of the jury to perform their clear
duty.
The detective scandals that are be-
ing unearthed are about as ugly as
could be imagined. In reading the
revelations which daily appear in
the prints it seem wonderful how
anybody ever escaped burglary and
blackmail. There was a perfectly
organized scheme of robbing private
residences, and althougho t course
there is chorus of denial, the detec-
tive force appears to have been as
expert in preventing recovery, ex-
cept on the payment oflarge rewards,
as the thieves were in taking what
did not belong to them. We even
find that. as in the case of the Chris
fancy jewels, the detectives sug
gested and planned robberies. The
District commissioners are a good
deal stirred up over 1t, but so many
facts have come out that they seem
to have made up their minds that
during their incumbency the city
was not governed to any appreciable
extent. The President has taken
his time to find the other District
commissioner, and is evidently doing
like n of those old classic fellows
did who went around with a lantern
looking for an honest man. If the
President will turn his eyes away
from his own "grand old party" he
wouldn't find the object IF his search
so difficult. Mr.. Arthur's extraor
binary procrastination in the mat
ter of important appointments is th'
Subject of much unfavorable com
ment. Whether it arises from COW
ardice and indecision, or from crafty
motives, it is aqually discreditable

We are however not afraid that
the Office will be dishonored by the
election of him in a moral sense, as
some of our Brothers seem to insin-
uate. Some Of the structures, both

crat, r untimely;; baseless and I'M
kind, to say-sAe least of them-when
applied to Mr.. Sater.-GreenuiUe
Courier.
Thus speaks the Greenville Cour.
ier, a Republican journal, of the Dem,
ocratic candidate for District Judge,
which should be sufficient endorse
ment for Mr.. Safer. In our stric.
lures on the Judgeship, the name OF
Mr.. Safer was not mentioned; the
Courier therefore is GLADLY off, in
that line.

The .Budgeship.

We give place in this weeks issue
to the actions Of the several County
Central Committees in the matter of
putting j. W. Safer, Esq, before the
people of the second sub division as
the candidate for Common Pleas
Judge, to ill the place of Judge
Meeker, who retires after having de-
clined to enter a party contest for a
denomination, for which refusal we
give him credit. We have always
advocated that the selection of a
Judge should be outside of politics
and party, and are still of that opin-
ion, but as the Republicans and their
organs seem to offer no opposition to
the proceedings of the Democratic
Committees in regard to the Judge
ship, we are content to "accept the
situation" and support the party sc
lection, 7. w. Safer, Esq, of Green
vile, who is not a stranger by any
means in Preble county, having been
a resident of it for several years and
also commenced the study o his pro-
fession in the office of Judge Camp
bell in Eaton. That he is eminently
qualified for the position-and that
he will fill it with credit to himself
and honor to his constituency, and
maintain and respect the purity and
chastity of the Judicial Ermine dur
ing his time, we have such ASSURANCE
that removes all doubts heretofore
entertained in the matter. That. he
will be selected by the votes of the
District to fill the position is certain
and that be will be a worthy success

shadow of doubt.
