THE DETECTIVE NUISANCE.

The $25, 900 verdict given against an express
company in st. Louis points moral. It is
the heaviest verdict ever given to an individual
for damages under similar circumstances.
These were aggravating. One Fotheringhan,
express messenger, was attacked, robbed
and roughly treated III his car. He sold q
straight story of tho occurrence which was
company employed detectives to investi-
gate the case, and they concluded that
the messenger was implicated in the robbery.
Having formed the theory, they proceeded to
support it, bending all the facts to it. and
manufacturing facts where they were lacking.
As result, Fotheringham was arrested, kept
in Jail for some time Swallowed for many
months and his reputation cruelty injured.
In suit for damages the jury gave him
verdict for $4,000. In the progress of
the trial the detectives were severely
arraigned, and their methods received q
thorough ventilation. The heavy verdict was
to some extent against them. as well as the
express company. Ex-Governor Johnson,

to put an end to the sweat-box methods of de-

agree with this view of the case It is time
TO cali halt in the detective business and re-
store the ideas of personal liberty and private
rights to their proper place. The detection
and punishment of crime are important
duties of society, but the preservation of per-
sonal rights is even moro So The general
theory of detectives seems to be that nobody
has any rights which they are bound to re-
spect. Most of the so-called professional de-
tectiyes of the present day are not much bet
ter than professional pirates Many OF them
are thieves or the consorts of thieves. Few
of them have any knowledge whatever of law
or of the rights of citizens, or any regard for
either. The Pinkerton detectives undoubt-
eddy do some good work and are often useful
in arresting criminals, but it is done with great
disregard of personal rights. The ST. Louis
verdict should be lesson to all concerned

4 VIEW SCHOOL OF ROMANCE.

Novel-readers who have grown weary OF the
realistic in fiction should appreciate the efforts
81 magazine editors to crafty their taste for
another class of stories. For some reason,
nnarhaea beEeSse the Northern literary mind is
hopslessly utilitarian and unromantic, they
have turned to the South in the search of the
coming author. Writers from that region
are eagerly welcomed and each hailed in sue
,cassion as the great American novelist for
whom the public has long been waiting. IF
ekfll in writing bad English as it is spoken by
the natives constitutes high order Of attain
ments, then, indeed, can all share IN the
honors In spite of the talent displayed, how
ever, this modern species of literature has
failed to gil the want completely. A moon
sinner Is agreeable enough as q casual
acquaintance, and the negro is always
noicturesoues but one wearies Of an endless
sprocsssion of initerate writes, and negro
dialect loses its charm after the first
dozen volumes Besides, all the tales
referred to have, up to this time. partaken of
the realism which has been so severely criti-
cised in the works of Northern authors. At
asst. though, the anxious editors seem to agree
that they have found what they sought. The
new writer is young woman Of Virginia.
That is. the editors announce that she is
young. and there are some indications of ex-
trema youthfulness in her productions; but,
On The other hand, there are internal evil
dences, if not of age at least of experience
ashich is not commonly supposed to be part
OF the girly-girly period of life. But however
this may be, this young persons writings GER
ltainly cannot be called realistic. since the
people she described never existed outside of
a lnnatio asylum, and the events set forth
could have occurred only under the guidance
Of truly gifted imagination.
The heroine Of her latest tale is a young
and beautiful widow, who, like Mrs. Gum

OUR EEIaHB0Rs,

The injunction to love thy neighbor "a

when people had neighbors in the

across the street, or around the corner is to

rule must depend upon circumstances, and
that the exigencies of modern civilization
demand that the neighbors to be loved as our

must be satisfied if the love is less warm than
seems proper. Nevertheless the rule is as
golden in it's beauty as when given By the

he might do that he should gain eternal life.
