certainly on higher plane than any

On this point, cannot refrain from
quoting part of an editorial from Bel
tord's Magazine, of September, 1889
Says its editor
1--WE have fallen into the singular
and not commendable habit at the
North of treating the South, in GU,
comments upon any violent act in that
region, from a very lofty and superior
standpoint
"We improve the occasions as di-
vines say, by delivering moral lectures,
as if we were, if not guardians. at least,
licensed censors of the Southern people
How we came to indulge in this
ludicrous and exasperating practice, is
difficult to account for. We certainly
are i'll no better condition morally than
our brethren Of the South. For erery
riolence IN that part Of the country ace
can offer at least t,co at the NORTH.
True our murderers are of low order,
while the wrong doors of the South
claim to be gentlemen. On the other
hand, the swindlers doing business in
the States Of the lost Confederacy, are
of degraded class, while our fraud
