goaded into momontary loss of self
control by coarse epithet and insulting
innuendo, shall reply to his Republican
prosecutor in kind, that member is to
be expelled No penalty Is incurred
by the aggressor. No odium attaches
TO the majority hoodlum, who pro-
vokes the outbreak The Democrat
who fails to meet with smiling
front and lowly acquiescence the most
calling indiguity offered him, is to be
then and there elected.
That is what it means. The 1ri6uHe'S
failure to discern in Mr. Bayne's action
anything but the most delicate and gen
tlemanly and courteous good breeding,
indicates too clearly for the smallest
misapprehension the manner in which
its proposed remedy is to be applied.
We are Of opinion that the Republi-
cans in Congress had better go slowly.
It Is not difficult to realize that Mr..
Whitelaw Reid's paper should look with
purchased rapture on any act Of an al
minislration or party that put Mr.. White
law Reid in The way Of social eminence;
but the Republican leaders, who are the
creditors rather than the debtors of
their party, had better take heed lest
they strain the American sense of
justice and propriety beyond endurance.
Up to the point at which they facilitate
legislation and check frivolous obstruc-
ton, Mr.. Reeds new rules have re-
ceived the indulgent recognition of the
country. But when it shall appear that
they are TO be used for unworthy pur.
poses, for tyranny and oppression and
revenge, then the authors and advocates
of those rules will receive such a notif-
cation as they received in 1874, and,
perhaps, be condemned to still longer
term of minority

HERE is SOME good, wholesome
Democratic talk by the Philadelphia
Record.
The inquisitorial character of some of
The census questions would be mitigatedin
some degree If thorough and reliable social
data could be obtained by the process.
But from feelings Of delicacy, shrinking
modesty and other private motives many
persons would avade the questions and
many more would give false answers. The
Information, therefore, would have no
value for the purpose for which it is
sought. Inquisitorial methods that might
not be challenged in a despotism like
Russia will not be tolerated in this free
country. There is already altogether too
much government intermeddling with th e
private affairs of the people, and it should
be checked rather than encouraged. These
! inquisitorial census questions are based OF
| the vicious theory that the people belong
10 the Government; whereas the Govern
ment is merely the limited agent of the
people.

The Washington critic., 1890-05-19

THE Sunday Herald of this city is
greatly disturbed in its more or less
powerful mind concerning the Democ-
racy of THE CRITIC. 1t seems to think,
or perhaps il really thinks that it thinks,
that paper which suggests the re-
moval of the Jackson statue from
Lafayette Square cannot be truly Dem
; ocratic at heart. There may be some-
thing in this view Of the matter, though
we rather fancy otherwise, but THE
CRITIC will try to demonstrate Its
Democracy in some more effective way
than by perpetuating the fathers of the
party in ridiculous effigies, and we hope
we think of them reverently enough to
give their statues place in parks or other
reservations dedicated to themselves
and not 10 others.

There has been a slight impr Ovement in
the weather since the last mali left for
Europe; but its general character re-
mains the same, dry, with occasional show
ers. These have so far increased as to be
of some help to the grass nearly every
where; but have not done much for the
canes, TO aid which we want a heavy fall.
Below will be found details for Chris
tiansted and Kingshill. We had expected
to get a similar list from Fl ederiksted, but

charged with serious crimes, which has
been on trial here for several days, ha.
created intense interest Last November
the professor became involved in a diff :
Guilty with Thomas Garrahau. which cul.
minated in the arrest of Garrahan for
SANDER. The latter thereupoa announced
his intention OF breaking up the school
and obtained afidavits from some OF the
pupils to the effect that Johnson had been
guilty of indecent exposure on different
occasions to the young girls who attended
his school, aud had at other times at
tempted to debauch some of the boys
under his care. johnson was arrested
for the alleged crimes, and held in bail
for his appearance ut court In the
meantime the school board had dismissed
him from Its employ. About fifty wit
nesses testified, and the details were re
voting in the extreme. A number OF
these witnesses c~ontradicted each other so
ttatly that when the case went to the Jury
it promptly rendered a verdict of mot
guilty, and placed the costs. amounting
to $3.50, upon Garrahan.
