Reforms should Begin at Home.

The acquittaI of DR.. Mellow in Charles
ton has given those Of the northern news
papers that seem to find a genuin pleasure
in att 'cking the south an excuse for ing
50. They have been filing their columns
with articles intended TO prove that the
south is lawless, and they have been publish
ing statistics showing the number Of nOmi-
cices that have occurred D several of the
southern states within the last year or two,
and how few of the white men charged
with the crime Of murder within the period
mentioned have been convicted. If their
purpose we're 70 strengthen in either ths
north or the south public sentiment against
crimes OF various kinds their course would
be worthy of CONNIE dation but such Is MT
the case. Their purpose is 10 create the
impression that society at the north is far
more law abiding than IN the south, and
that the civilization of the north is much
superior to thatof the south.
1t is true that there are a great many
homicides in the south, and i'll alsJ true that
in some of the southern st ties it is very
difficult to punish white man for murder.
However, white men in each OF the sout \
murder, aud sentiment az INST the unlawful
taking of hu nan life i. steadily becoming
stronger. The only reason DIT badly that
larger percentages of colored people charged
with murder Is convicted than of white me
is that the white men are, as a rule, much
better able TO secure the services of first
class lawyers.
But while murder in the south is not pun
ished as /, ought to be, 10 one will deIy
tnat burglary, larceny and other crimes, to
which the death penalty is not attached, are
punished promptly aud severely. Can it be
said that these lesser crimes are promptly
punished in the north.
What abou, the Doodle aldermen in New
York city' 1t is now more tina ! year d
half since these aldermen were arrested.
ln fact, 1t is publicly stated in New York
newspapers that it is about impossible to
convict the boodlers. Although in the
opinion of those who have kept themselves
posted respecting the facts in the Doodle
aldermeA's cases tue defendants are guilty,
nevertheless, one after another of them has
been acquitted, and it is broad limited
that all of them will be free in a compare
lively short time.
Although these northern newspapers are
condemning the south for crimes committed
within her limits, tey seldom or never
condemn the north for its failure to enforce
the law against thieves ami mbezzlers who
have wealth or .fluence. AS long as this
condition of affairs exists the north is not in
position to critlcise the south for it,
alleged failure to punish white murderers.
In the large cities Of the north crimes in
volvlng property are so oom non as
almost to cease to attract attentio , and yet
very few of the eenteel thieves are punished.
Why do not the northern newspapers under
take to correct the evils at their very doors
instead Of devoting so much of their time

Getting aid of a Son-in-Law.
From the 81 Toltjs GIobe- De,,,o.,,t

About eighteen months ago the daughter of
me of the most prominent citizens OF St Louis
was married while op a visit to New York TIE
parents were not consulted about the matter
and knew nothing of it until after the ceremony
lad been erforned, and the young couple
asked for their bles ing. The Bird groom was
YOUNG, handsome, apparently wea thy, of I'm.
Objectionable character, so far as could b.
learned The bride was beautiful, we'll edu-
ated leader in the upper social circle To
all appearances II was a splendid match, and
wAen the couple arrived here after an extended
lour, society received them with open arms, and
congratulations were neralIy showered upon
them. The father and mother of the bride
seemed to be well pleased with her choice and
pardon for the secret marriage was freely given
For short time matters went on smoothly,
md then 1t was discovered that the bridegroom
was practically penuiless The father made
gene Gus contributions from his own purse to
lelp the young man along, but as he showed
no desire to help himself this source of revenue
vas eventually cut off. The young wife thea
went TO a city Official and with tears in her
eyes asked for position for her husband Her
petition was granted, and for three months
their domestic life again ran on smoothly a
daughter being born to them during tais pc
Rod But the husband was not incliIed to be
Industrious. He avoided work did not ATTEND
20 his duties, and was absent from the office
for days at time. AS a result his services
we're dispensed with, and he was again Obliged
TO appeal TO the generosity of his faith r-in-law
From tlis time on he passed the larger part of
his time in pool alley, spending his allowance
foolishv and making no attempt to improve his
condition.
;, len patience ceased to be a virtue the
father-in-law decided to resort to extreme
measures and get rid of the obnoxious young
husband. Accordingly he got his daughter into
room IN the upper story of his residence and
locked her up. When his son-in-law inquired
for her he was told that she had taken her child
aud go 9 to New York Two days later the
young man was furnished with a ticket to the
metropolis, but no money. and he started, as he
supposed, to join his wife. As soon as he was
out of sight the daughter was set free, and is
now living as happy as possible under the cir
cumstances at her fathers house. The Young
ri wife's family are confident he will never be
able to earn enough money to buy a return
ticket, and fondly believe they are rid of him
for a while at least
