THE Indiana "White Cap" gangs
which infected that state last year
are getting in their dirty work again.
Trouble has begun in Warrick county
but the reception accorded the gang
was not encouraging. When twenty
armed and masked men attack lone
man at midnight and return with
five of their number wounded it is
not encouraging, particularly to the
cowardly ours who usually take part
in the proceedings. Indiana has
been cursed with these Iawless self
constituted regulators of the public
peace and morals long enough aud
she owes it to her own good name to
rid herself of such pests. White
Caps at the north and Ku Klux at
the south. are all of the same dirty
breed and should be wiped out. Shot
gun receptions are the best remedies
particularly as they spot the offend
ers for the future action of the courts.

JUSTICE NOT JUDGMENT,

1t is always of the first importance
that justice be done, and the guilty
punished. 1t is also of the first i'm
rortance that in doing justice the in
nocent be not made to suffer. The
declaration of the law is, and always
has been, that an accused person is to
be adjudged innocent until he is
proven guilty, but in court practice
the very reverse seems to obtain and
man accused is considered guilty
until he is proven innocent. Not only
so, his innocence established in the
eyes of the law the stigma of the ac-
cusation hangs hound him like mill
stone and all the record of blame
less life seems powerless to lift the
weight which the mere fact of accusa-
ton has burdened him with. The
faint of a foul suspicion, no matter
how unjustly attached, like the blood
stains on the Lady Macbeth's hands,
will not out. and the man or woman
who has felt the force of accusation is
never the same in the eyes of the
great public forever after. How
very guarded then should be the
avenues of accusation which the
courts open, and how open should
be the examination into all the
facts tending to throw any light
whatever upon the deed of which any
one is suspected. 1t is crime against
innOcency for the courts to refuse the
t,,1 ,,,x, int
that comes before it. To rule ques-
lions out of order as prevalent that
bear with pertinent weight upon the
deed. is not the way to arrive at just
concerning the perpetra-
ton of crime. One or two things, for
instance, may be excepted as axiom
attic in all cases of attempted murder.
Malice on the part Of the assailant, or
insanity. If malice, then there is
cause real or supposed therefor, aN
any enquiry into the deed must of he
cessity include this idea of motive. If
one is accused and he can show mo-
tive on the part of another, while on
his part there is confessedly an alb
sence of all discoverable motive, then
it is in order to show what motive
that other had, how it has been de-
mon strated, and particularly if there
have been any threats by him against
the assaulted party. If motive on the
part of that other can be shown, and
not only motive but threats. and no
motive appears on the part of the &C
cused, it certainly seems as though |
this would be strolg rresumptive
proof of the innocence of the &C
cused. This being so it would
3 strike every sensible, honest, hu-
name, justice loving person that the
very first thing in order would be to
and not suppress all such
evidence as would tend to throw light |
Oh this phase of the case. 1t causes |
grave establishment when public |
prosecutor objects to the introduction
Of such testimony, and seems more
anxious to secure conviction than to !!
arrive at the truth. Such things go
far to shake the public faith in the
Justice of courts and the impartiality
Of officers of the law.

THE news items of tina LIGHT have
been sensational enough during the
past few days to suit the criminal
columns of a metropolitan journal.
The sensation is still on deck in the
examination now pending into the re-
cent shooting of Mr.. Lockwood. San
Antonio can very well afford less of
this kind of literature, but it is the
business of a public journal to give
the facts as they trahspire from day
20 day, and the LIGHT always leads
the procession.

SAM JONES is getting a great deal of
needless advertisement in some of the
city papers. Sam is theological
comet and his cratic wanderings
through the evangelistic cosmos are
of no special interest to any, save a
few interested spectators who make
study of such wanderings their bust

The Waco Day has little love for
the "peripatetic begging committee"
Of which Mayor Stewart, of Austin,
is manager. 1t condemns the whole
thing wholesale, says that only a
paltry $500 has been picked up at
the "niggardly north" and demands
that the committee return home. Re-
ferring to the work Georgia is doing,
the day says:
In this connection it may not be
out OF place to say that the A tlant ia
CONSTITUTIONS fund is rapidly growing
and will soon even exceed the so, 900
asked for and may reach $1,000
While this result has been reached
or will be reached-in Georgia within
a week or two for the disabled eX-
COnfederates of that state, the fact re-
mains that Texas has practically done
| nothing for its own, although, as the
Constitution says, we are better off
financially than any other state in
| the union.
The north was informed, when
Major Stewart went forth on his mis-
sion, that northern contributions were
not wanted, that the cOnfederates
could take care of their own comrades
and that no northern aid was asked.
How, then, does the Day charge the
failure to secure subscriptions upon
the niggardliness of the north? Texas
! journals have decried northern aid
until they have defeated any attempt
to secure it. Now let them hustle to
help the boys in gray by a state con-
tributiOn.

A BAD PLAN.
An Asking Price.
A Taking Price.

The plan OF store keepers having an asking
price and taking price for goods. Charging one
more than another and not refusing a reasUna-
Die offer is IA bad plan for buyers. The store
keeper alone knows the lowest price ut which
he can sell his goods. BUYERS never get them
for less and often pay more. This plan is JUS
lifted on the ground that some people won
buy unless they get something knocked of or
thrown in and some will only only buy where
they can get credit, some pever pay and that
must be made up by charging more 10 those
who do pay.
our one price cash plan avoids all such
methods. il marks in plain figures the lowest
cash price on every article offered aud nothing
less can buy IT, ON every article the buyer
gets the advantage of the discounts we make
in buying for cash and the expenses aud losses
saved in not selling on credit The saving on
these two items being a satisfactory profit in a
live business and accounts for some merchants
saying we are selling at cost.
