The Gases Of the Jury Bribsrs.
Democrat May "a

Times. Democrat. May "a.
The development in the bribery cases
In the Criminal Court yesterday were
of character to seriously alarm all
good citizens Who are anxfoas to see
the temple of jnstice purified, An i'm
portant witness in one the Gasps was
discovered to have been spirited away,
and in other Of the cases counsel for the
defense eontended that it was no crime
to corrupt a tales juror At least that
is the substance of The contention
If this shall be held to be good law,
it will put a premium upon the ptacti-
ces in the Hennessy case, particularly,
against which the. entire community
revolted will render hopeless any
effort to secure jnstiee through the
courts, and will save from legal punish
ment bribers aud corrnptiopists against
whom the most direct and positive
evidence has been secured.
Such result of the efforts that have
been made to purify the atmosphere of
our criminal courts would be moDatrous.
It would be worse--it would be intoler-
able.

The Baton Ronge Advocate makes a
very happy suggestion, namely that the
anti lottery editors Of the State have a
consultation and agree upon a general
outline of facts as fhe basis of their ar
guments during the campaign. Some
of them say the Federal postal law has
ruined the lottery company, while 9th
ers declare that beggarly 81 ,250, 900
is too trifiing sum to accept from a
company that is annually making from
$12 .0OOOO0 to $l5,000,0O0 net Lee
turer Guice, who is nothing if not ex-
treme, in his speech Thursday night
took a yet bolder fight and claimed
that, by actual computation, the COM
pany had enough money. if converted
Tito dollar bills, to reach to the moon
or four times girdle the earth.
As we have said. the Advocates sug-
gestion is a happy one. A party OF
young men onue took sail on the
lake, aud during the run saw an alliga-
tor. AS they approached home one as
serted that the saurain was ten feet
long, another that it was fifteen, and SO
on until about thirty feet was reached.
Meantime. one of the party who had
been sleeping Off the effects of rather
deep potations, walked up and. after

Yrize Fighting.
From the Morning Star and Catholic Messen-


From the Morning Star and Catholic Messen-
ger.
Cervantes with his creation Of Don
Quixote laughed knight -errantry out OF
existence, for there is no weapon as
sharp and effectual as ridicule. PRICE
fighting has had quite day of its own
on this side of the Atlantic. 1t has
risen somewhat above its former level
of murderous brutality and associated
itself rather famiiarly with good So
ciety. It has found the entr6e to gen.
teel qymnastic clubs and made friends
Of the amateur athletes of orr otherwise
exclusive circles.
But after all, it is innately vulgar
and 1t has shown its mannerless gross
ness by admitting negroes into its
Brotherhood of equality. The white
man who gives q negro permission to
strike him thereby puts himself on a
level with the negro. Thenceforth he
cannot be admitted TO any place where
the negro would be excluded.
Take the case of Corbett for instance,
Corhett was rather lionized here and
received great deal Of admiriDg at.
tention from one of our athletic clubs
"a rather tone-y one, We believe,
though unable just now to recall its
name. IF Mr.. Corbett should hereafter
return to this city, he would doubtless
find the doors of that club closed
against him. He would be held to hi
own choice of associates and, as in thi:
community a man cannot associate
with both colors. he would have to con
sort with the negroes.
But if Corhett would d. such thing
forti0ri The others would. for he seeml
to be about the least brutal of hi
class. His whole class will thus, so fa
as the South is concerned, be forcet
down to social level with the negro
and the mistaken footing Of quasi-re
spectability to which Of late 1T has beel
! ineonsideLateiy admitted will be sum
mariIy abolished.
Once conceded that ring fighting j
relegated to negroes and their whit
associates and the fictitious glamour 9
decency of late surrounding il ID finaH
gone. Contempt il as fatal as ridicnIe
