prsprcT TO Law.

Under the above caption, the
Kansas City Journal of last Satur-
day has this to say. Its truthful
ness will appeal to the -consclences
Of the good people Of Trego county
who recognize the sacredness OF the
ballot. twill be a dark day when the
respect for law that belongs to the
American citizen ceases to govern.
But the tension in later years Is IN
creasing, and unless a change takes
place in public and official morals
and methods it will cease.
If there is an offense merlting
capital punishment in a free govern
ment, where the voice OF the people
rules, it is the suppression OF that
voice. Offenses against the body
polite have always been regarded as
more serious than against the person,
and men have been brought to the
block in all times for crimes OF that
grade, and amid the sanctions OF
mankind.
In war men are shot and hung
| for offenses that are trivial in times
Of peace-because Of the vast inter,
ests then involyedA So a man may
vote illegally and his punishment
be mitigated by circumstance. But
the public official having in hi
hands the right Of all citizens tx
ote-dependent on his action-wht
deliberately or who negligently pre-
vents the citizen from right a
sacred as life-because on its exer
else may depend life-commits hllgl
treason to free government.
This is the effect, and that ough
to be the law. And unless the Lax
of the land takes cognizance OF TIL
crime and adequately Furnishes Il
the law Of public safety will recos
!. nize it and deal with it. Whe
> men are made to understand thl
: possibly they may be made to d
f their duty.

CONSISTENCY REQUIRED.

There Ia nothing like sitting on both
sides Of a fence, particularly II you are
not certain just where the bull whose
low below Is heard In the distance is go
Ing to put in an appearance. One OF the
great morning papers of southern Texas
has got this thing down fine. In Tues
days issue, speaking OF the proposed
legislation at Albany for an arbitration
committee in cases of strikes on rail-
roads and where the public are inter
ested. this morning daily says:
"It is all well enough to talk about a law to
compel operators TO operate their property
aud opera ives to work for them whether
either desire II or not, abut whitfield down
to a point 1t would be the worst kind of legis-
lativc tyranny, arbitrarily interfering with
the right OF a man TO control that which he
owns, be 1t capital or labor. II would virtual
ly make a slave of every wOrkingman in the
country. The New York board of meditation
and arbitration will have to find some other
way out OF the labor trouble difficulty"
1t is by no means difficult TO see on
which side the fence the bull was cup
posed to be coming on Tuesday. On
Thursday something had changed the
currents OF the air, and 1t must have
seemed that the below was from an en-
tirely different direction, for the legs
were hastily jerked over to the other
side with the following comment on the
situation:
Has the general public a right to interfere
in strikes2 Legally 1t has not, but in equity 1t
certainly has. For instance: The Reading
miners and the Reading operators are at log
perhcads. All work has stopped. Production
has been seriously curtaIlcd. The price of
coal has scared into the skies The public
pays the additional tariff. 1t has done so for
some time back. Its hands have gone into its
pockets and extracted thousands of dollars.
Has 1t not an equitable right to demand that
operators and miners quit their fool!shness?
Now look upon this picture and then
upon that and determln elf possible how
much educational power there must be
In the utteranCes Of such journal
What Ia required of public journalist
In the conduct OF his editorial columns
is that he shall have clear and decided
opinions upon such matters as he brings
to the notice of the public, and so ex-
press them as not TO be misunderstood.
Ifpublic opinion Ia formulated and edu-
Gated by the press then must the press
have some educational force In the minds
OF those who direct Its utterances. In
nothing so much as In the deliberate exy
preston OF editorial opinion upon public
questions is real consistency required.
The public grow perplexed as to the
rights Of wrongs of things when they
become so mixed In the authoritative
uttersnces of responsible Journals.

The Ghost OF TlconderoGa.
From the London Daily News.

Shall we ever know the exact truth
about the ghost Of Ticonderoga? Mr.
Louis Stevenson wrote a ballad about
him In an American magazine, aud
though he introduced plenty OF ghosts.
It appears that he left some out. Ac-
cordiBg to Mr.. Stevenson, the highland
gentlemen concerned were Stew
art and Cameron. One OF
them stabbed the other, and
"pawkily" took refuge with the slain
mans brother. Thus the natural sven-
ger OF blood, the brother, was con-
strained by the law OF hospitality not
to kill the homicide. But the ghost Of
the slain came thrice TO his brother,
pleading in the most unsportsmanllke
way for the Infringement OF the laws Of
hospitality. The brother, however,
was true to his salt, and the ghost,
much provoked, remarked "Iicondro-
ga" The brother then Joined the army :,
and after falling to find out any Ticon-
derOga elsewhere, saw his own
wrath and was killed at the battle OF
Ticonderoga, In North America. In Mr..
StevensOn's spirited poem. the Stewart
was the murderer, the Cameron was the
murdered. But Lord Archibald Camp
bell claimed one hero as a Campbell OF
Inverawe, the other as Macniven. Mr..
Stevenson, perhaps, had a right to drop
MscBiven, though 1t rhymes to "riveD,"
driven" and other useful words. In
the Atht anum Lord Archibald adds,
from the narrative OF q descendant OF
number OF apparitIons
omitted by Mr.. Stevenson. On the
day OF the battle of Ticonder-
oga the old Miss Campbells
OF Ederlin saw an arrangement Of olouds,
which resolved themselves into lively
mirage Of the combat, the death Of In
vera we, and the rest OF 1t. The super
natural must have had a singulsrly keen
interest In tine Csmpbells or lnverswe.
First there was the ghost, who came
thrice, then the warning "Ticonderoga,
then the wrath, and then the mirag".
The mirage was witnessed by a doctor
and HE servants as we'll as by the old
Miss Campbells.

PRTESTLY DUTY,

Converting a savage is as hard as tanning
a rhinOceros, which, it is said, will die of
a broken heart before it will abate its
natural ferocity. The second nature of an
Indian is hate of the white man, and this
Unborn dislike must be subdued to re-
spect for white teacher before any good
impression will take hold. To see savage,
therefore, at the feet of a Christian mis-
Sionary learning the divine precepts is an
exhibition of wonderful will power of the
former over the latter. An instance of the
kind is the mission service of Rev. L. N.
st. Onge, P. p, who, through very trying
exposure during ten years of hard Indian
missionary life in the Rocky Mountain
region, pursued his noble calling OF this
he writes that he encountered a worse
enemy than the savage developed from
his mode Of life) and taking hold of him
with the tenacity of death itself With
this enemy he struggled very hard, which,
like the Indians prejudice, he had to Crap
pie because it was violent, and, like his
own will power over the savage-that
which he employed to conquer and sub
due-was in its nature as oveTpowering as
the influence he eXerted on the savage mind.
1t penetrated with magical effects and made
its permanent result. Let him explain.
In 1882 he wrote from Glens Falls, n. Y,
stating: Il am kept in bed by rheumatism
and am a cripple trying the virtues of your
great remedy. / could not bear the pain
yesterday, but single application stopped
it and made me sleep comfortably. trust
il will rpdupp the SWELLING and allow mo IN
walk" Oct. 20, 1856, he writes again:
Everything l used failed to relieve me
until tried st. Jacobs Oil. One applica-
ton was sufficient to stop the pain, and a
very few applications TO reduce the swelling
In the joints l, therefore, recommend that
remedy to every one afflicted as was, and
consider it a duty to give it unqualified
praise" As a priestly duty he makes it
known. The same sense of heroic duty
prompts him, and in cOnquering the in
slincts Of the savage by patience he has by
patience found the greatest discovery of the
age.
