PERFECT EQUALITY.

Why 1t Is Essential to the Carrying On
of a Fair Discussion.
No discussion between two persons
can be carried on with any degree OF
farm IS unless each person recognizes
the other as his full peer in that dis
cussion. 1t matters not that one per-
son is older and more experienced and
better informed than the other; con
senting to enter into the discussion of
Il given point, the superior thereby as
sumes the position of one who may be
in error at that point; of one who may
be shown his error by the other person;
and of one who is ready to weigh fairly
and candidly the views and arguments
presented to the other in the course of
the discussion, and 10 be convinced by
them if they are such that they ought to
convince him. He who does not recog-
nize this as his duty in every discussion
IN which he bears part is incompetent
to conduct discussion intelligently
If, indeed, one deems another unworthy
Of being counted his peer in discus
sion. then he has the privilege of
de lining to enter into a discus
sion with him, even though he would
be willing to be his instructor, or to
give him all needed information; but n
discussion once begun must be carried
on on the basis of perfect equal ty be-
tween the disputants as dis
putants, or it is not true discu ,sion.
1t Is in view of this truth that one
who has any real. or apparent, supe-
rior.ty over another, with whom he is
discussing point, must be scrupu-
lousy careful to refrain from assert
ing, or seeming to think of, that supe-
riorty If it be learned teacher in
discussion with young scholar. or a
trained expert in discussion with II
iayman. or wise father in discussion
with forward child, or host discuss
ing with a guest at his own table. the
discussion as a discussion must 90 on
as between peers. The moment that
me superior asserts or intimates the
eialm that he is to be regarded in this
discussion as superior, or that his
opln on Is to have more weight than
the others opinion-that moment he
proposes to deny his opponent the
rights OF an equal in a contest which
me Two have entered as equals. If,
indeed he who has superiority in other
respects can show his superiority ,s =
oisputant' his superiority is entitled to
rompt recognition accordin CIV; but
until disputant can show his snneri-
ot,'y as dlsputant. he ought to be
ashamed to assert during discussion.
MS right to be recognized in that dis.
cussion as superior on any other
ground. IS. s. Times.

We are saddened to note something Of
Q disposition to make fun of our Brosius,
candidate for Congress- Wherefore such
strange inclination should be born in man
b not plain, because our Brosius is man
Of dignifled mIen and Of illustrious talent,
In and about whom disposition to smile
should freeze In Its infancy +; and it Is to
be noted that the men who laugh are
foreigners, who indulge their propensity
at safe distance from the awful
presence. There is the Erening Telegraph,
for instance, which cuts its caper In Phil
adelphia, but which, IL 1t came
mp TO Lancaster would sing very
different song, realizing, as 1t would, how
very dear and precious our Brosius Is 10
the Republican heart of the county, which
= Ill flutter to see him eclipse the an.
Client glory of Thaddeus Stevens. 1t was
this hope, we incline to think, that nom.
mated him. Lancaster county has been
vainly looking for plumed knight to
take the Stevens sceptre and the Drosius
plume captured her at once. There
was no doubt about the plume-and
that 1t was one Of gorgeous color.
There Is o profound conviction among
those who voted for Brosius that he
has O wonderful supply of brains, and
will be giant in Congress. We hope he
may be. We will not permit the unbe
lief of such farawsy observers as the
Evening" Telegraph to discompose oul
fond expectation.
