PEOPLE as we'll as newspapers
are given to straining at q gnat
and swallowing camel without so
much as making wry face at it.
The press and a great many people
strenuously object to the police
gazettes, but large number of the
metropolitan dailies published all
the details of the Colin Campbell
English divorce case. For down
right filth and absolute indecency
nothing to equal 1t ever appeared
IN any police paper. 1t may seem
strange, but the great mass of the
readers ofthe daily papers read
the disgusting particulars IN this
case with avldIty. Strict consis-
tency is indeed rare virtue. The
publication was made by the news
papers in answer to a popular de-
mand for it. Well regulated news
papers do not publish matters cal
culated to bring them into bad re-
pute with the public.

In 1886 a negro man was burned
at the stake in the city of St. Louis
for an unprovoked murder. The
St. Louis Republican of a recent
date republished the particulars OF
the lynchlng as related by a gen.
tleman who was living in the city
at the time. Nobody was arrested
for the crime and no effort was
made to punish anyone that had q
hand in the burning, although
everybody in town knew at least
who the rIngleaders were. The
judge at the next sitting of the
grand jury, said: "a great crime
has been committed in this county
since the last grand jury sat, but
the will of the people is the law Of
the land" That was the only
reference made to it by the Judge
and, of course, the grand jury found
no indictments. In the matter of
lynchings the grand juries of the
present day are not different from
those Of fifty years ago.
