Proper Position to Take.

We have heard tha: at least one perspn in this CON,
munity, having been offended somewhat by an article
which appeared In the clitoria l columns Of the I'D
p~crfiser, charged . friend Of ours with tn" author
ship Of said article. Let 1t be understood, once for oil
that whatever appears MS an editoria, IN this paper !,
" rittcn by the editor. and no alone Is resp"Esible
Whenever We have 10 call on others TO write editvriall
We will surely take our name from the top Of thcIt
columns, and turn the paper over to snne one more
Competent; but 80 long as 1t remains, there need new.
ar b. any doubt Us to who urOtc The editorials.
Our idea Of II newspaper is that 1t should speak on
IN oil important questions fesrlrssly and without re
gard L" the opinions Of others. If We happen to taxi
tho wrong Side Of an issue, why the moon will no
s,oI, IN her revolutions. nor will the current Of evcntl
be changed; bnt the world will ~wag along just th'
same"
Whatever we say will be for the good OF the conn.
try. as we conceive IL, bnt surely 1t Is not expected
that every one will accept these views. Doubtless
many serious charges may be brought against us. hu
we are willing 10 face them fairly, and We do beg tba
our friends be spared tho necessity Of carrying oul
burdens. We trust that when the chnrce Of plasuar'
ism Is made, some show Of truthfulness may also ap'
pear.

I.In the Name of Justice,

Eiitoriaily. We have made some suggestions In this

system. The attention II our brethren OF the press l.
called To the same. with = view to free and full dis

lions. gentlemen, and in the name Of justice. let us IN.
tertalD q cpmin"n feeling I" remedy the features OF tn,
system that are now 50 degrading and abnininablc, an
which are alike diS.racrful and injurious to the com
snonweaith.-SumncrriNc Herald.
II the number OF Trial Justices was reduced
TO onc-half, IL II tho remaining one-hali
were paid n salary, the business of the Court
OF General Sessions would, in our opiuion, be
reduced one-ha!f.

No Advice.

We have no advice TO offer those Of our con-
tcmporarieS who nave recently been engaged
in heated discussion. We are all full-grown
men. While 1t Is to be regretted that these
brethren nave so far forgotten themselves as
to indulge in language undienified and de-
moralizin. in Its tendency, we are not dis.
posed 10 read them a moral lecture. Their
own consciences will doubtless administer
the necessary reproOf, as 1t Is not unfreqnent-
~ the case, we suTmisc, that even where
shnrp and harsh language may be provoked.
or used 10y way Of retort in kind, those who
indulge very soon thereafter sincerely regret
j., If they are not heartily ashamed OF being
thus betrayed. Such, ut least, Is our W ex.

The Editorial EpixoOtic.

It is rumored that n considerable portion OF the
country press Is under the control Of the Neus and
Con-, Ter. by reason Of the following process, viz
When country editors get harl NJ, Capt. Dawson
lends them ,nr,ney. IN return for which, they harp on
the ssnc string that the .Netcs and Courier plays on.
In other words, when Dawson takes sniff, they all
snerzc with enc accurd.-S1mter -Adrdnce.
The above paragraph Is news TO us. We do
not know of any country editor who Is unde
control of the Neus and Courier. neither have
we ever heard OF Capt. Dawson lending
money on any terms to any country editor.
We would be glad for the Adrancc to name
the newspaper or newspapers that sneczc
when anybody else takes snuff. We do NOT
know any such newspaper. We think the
Adrdncc Is off the track.
