The history Of religious liberty

The history Of religious liberty
teaches important lessons. Intoler-
ance and persecution have wrought
incalculable misery in the past, and
are contrary to the spirit Of Chris
tianity, justice, and mercy, and in
compatible with modern civilization;
while liberty has proved to be the
best friend Of religion, and receives
from it its strongest moral support.
Spiritual offenses should be spiritual
ly judged, and punished according to
the gospel. Temporal offenses should
be temporarily judged, and punished
according to the law. The best legal
guarantee of liberty is humane cul-
ture aud Christian charity. The
church needs and should ask nothing
from the state but the protection OF
law. She commends herself best to
the world by attending to her proper
spiritual duties and keeping aloof
from political and secular complica-
tions. She can only lose by force and
violence. She can only gain and sue
ceec by the spiritual weapons Of
truth and love.-Dr. Philip Schaf.

THE INCuRABLE CURED.

Cancer is hereditary in roy family,

THE LAST GOOD NIGHT.

And all because they love mo 30.

To long TO say good night" again.
Isee the years stretch on and on,
The children all grown up and gone;
No chamber echoes to their tread,
The last good night has long been said.
And by his nreside desolate,
An old man sits, resigned to walt
Recalling Joys that used to be,
And faces that he may not see.
Therefore, what bliss Is mine that now
| Istlll can smooth each fair young browi
And feel the arms that clasp me tight
The lips that kiss the last good night

The columns of Texas newspapers

The columns of Texas newspapers
continue to be burdened with the
names of prospective candidates for
governor. The time has not yet come
for The Mercury to suggest names,
but it will take occasion right here
to advise its readers to keep their
"weather eye wide open.' The Farm
ers Alliance, as has been repeatedly
stated, is strictly non-partisan, but
this fact does not preclude its mem
bers-either in their individual capa-
city or as members Of the order
from discussing men and measures.
There are great reforms which are
imperatively demanded by the great
body OF the people Of Texas, which
must be adopted by the next state
administration. Some OF these re-
forms will doubtless be incorporated
in the party platforms, but this
should not be enough to satisfy the
laboring and producing classes OF the
state. Platforms in the paSt have
siguified little, or nothing. In fact,
they have as q rule been ignored.
We should demand declarations and
pledges from candidates, and such
pledges should not be too general in
their terms. These pledges should
be plain, pointed and full as TO the
reforms demanded, without either
qualifications or reservations. No
man should be supported whose de-
clarations do not show clearly that
he is in sympathy with the people.
There are good men in Texas, whom
the people could trust-Dallas Mer.

Seine Needed Legislation.
New York Tribune.

The official correspondence respect
ing the employment Of Deputy Mar
shal Nagle as special protector for
Justice Field vindicates the action OF
the department of Justice. The At
torney- General, apprehending viol-
ence from Judge Terry and his wife,
took the ground that it was due to
the dignity and independence Of the
United States court that no efforts
should be spared to relieve Judges
Field and Sawyer from any feelings
of insecurity and anxiety. His sug
gestions were promptly acted upon
by the United States Marshal at San
Francisco, who obtained special per-
mission to employ special deputies
for the protection of the two Judges
in the exercise OF their functions.
The exhibits filed by the Marshal
contains evidence Of Judge Terry's
desperation in Offering resistance to
court officials, and OF his implacable
hostility to the Judge who had ruled
against him and resented his auda-
,i)us proceedings in contempt of court
Justice Fields own testimony fully
exonerates Deputy-M Marshal Nagle.
1t embodies his deliberate conviction
that Judge Terry was bent upon MUIR
derlng him, and would have succeed.
cd, if the Deputy Marshnl had not
intervened with his revolver in the
nick of time. The spectacle of
Justice of the supreme bench at the
mercy of a malicious ruffian of un-
b; idled passions who was appealing
with clenched fist against Judicial
decision was of itself sufficiently de-
moralizing. If the Justice had been
murdered in cold blood staggering
bow would have been dealt to the
authority of the highest tribunals.
It was most fortunate for the honor
of the country that the Attorney Gen.
eral, forewarned by the menace Of
Judge Terry, had taken ample pre-
cautions for protecting the United
States judges.
What has happened once may occur
again, and at the next session of Con
gress measures should be taken to
arm the Department Of Justice with
adequate warrants for protecting the
persons of Judges against similar
assaults, and for determining disput-
Q | questions of jurisdiction. Depu.
ty- Marshal Nagle's prompt pistol
shot, while effective in striking down
Justice Fields assailant, is not the
kind of precedent on whidh United
States Marshal ought to be called up
on in future to ground their action
in similar emergencies. There should
be some distinct amendment to the
statutes by which the protection OF
Judges can be amply secured and
jurisdiction over such cases trans
ferred to the United States court.
This will be O difficult matter to ar
range, owing to the conflicting jur-
isdictions of National and State author
tiles, but with the recent dangerous
exhibition OF lawless ruffianism fresh
in the public mind Congress will be
justified in providining proper safe
guards for the protection of the high
est judicial officers. Both law and
precedents are now lacking. The
deficiency should be supplied.
