The LAWYER.

The recent acts of lawless men

DrovOked general expression from the
nress of the State, and the cOEcensus
of that expression of opinion Is to
give these lawless acts a general con-
demnation. We have yet to read a
single paper In the State, that at
tempts to uphold or defend mob law.
But while the voice of the press Is
unanimous in this, there are some,
and not a few, who take occasion to
complain of the "delay OF the law,
and some who criticise the lawyers
for their efforts at this delay.
This criticism, though sometimes
magnified, is not altogether unjust

A SPECIAL to the Memphis Com
g,lerctGL from New York, gives re-
ported interview with Tennessee's
dumb Governor, in which the said
dummy is made to say: '"Fhe Demo
Gratis Of the South and West have il
in their power to force on the Demo-
cratic party the free coinage of silver,
free trade and the sub-treasury a.
necessary lines of government" The
wish, no doubt, is father to the
thought. II dummy was positive OF
his statement, he would suddenly
learn to talk, and then he would make
the hills aud the valleys of Tennessee
ring with his much speaking. 1t If
the uncertainty of 1.-THE power, ;" that
gives h i'm pause and makes him Sit
upon his pedestal of honor like knot
on a log. The Democratic party has
trimmed at times, and there Is no
mistake of it; it does not always plum
the line of principle just as 1t should (;
il has at times done things 1t ought
not to have done, and at other times
left undone things it ought to have
done, but it never has gone right
square back on all of it's principles
and traditions, and it never will and

there and drawn plain and straight,

and jackson will be found fighting 10

Editorial Responsibilities.

We had occasion recently to say
that we thought it was duty a news
paper owed to the public, aud the
duty the public expected of a news
paper, to speak out, plainly, urOn all
public questions. We are glad to
find ourselves, upon this question, in
company with such able thinkers and
christian cholars as DR.. HnsS, of the
Nashville Methodist christian AdUO
cate. Last weeks AdOOcdte contains
the following:
"It is becoming an Increasingly
common view of the newspaper that
its office Is to reflect and not create
public sentiment. Many persons re-
gard it az mere bulletin-bORTd for
the blazOning of current events.
This view-sO 1t seems to us-is en-
tirely wrong. The business of the
newspaper is to keep men in vital
touch with the age In which they
live. To accomplish this result, il
must not only make an exhibit of the
occurrences that are constantly TAX
ing place in all parts of the world,
but must also thoroughly and sOundly
interpret these occurrences by show
ing their relation to the general drift
of contemporary history,
ave have lived long enough to
hear an editor say in substance: 81
have no disposition to lead the public
mind" Whether his utterance was
the fruit OF conscious incapacity or of
modest Accommodation, we could
not tell. 1t is our Judgment that no
man ought to occupy an editorial
position unless he has intelligence
enough to be a public teacher, and
moral earnestness' enough to express
his opinions on all burning issues
without let or hinderance. The tripod
ought not to be turned into q Ounce
block, nor the Sdnctlta to be desec-
rated by being made a place of refuge
for men who are too weak to succeed
in other callings.
ut need scarcely be said that
making ali editor out o. man does
not add the smallest item to his fund
OF Information, nor give the least adj
JitiOnaI clearness to his processes of
thought, nor enlarge his facility for
accurate and fOrcible utterance. II
he had nothing worth saying before,
he will have nothing afterward. The
mere fact that his efforts at thought
are printed on white paper does not
enhance their value in even the least
measure. This needs no debate.
1.-THE editor of a religious journal
needs special qualification over and
above those that we have been con-
sidering. lie must have fixed CON
vIctions on religious questions. Ifhis
mind is in an eternal flux, he is in
capable of the task to which he is
called. However brilliant he may
be, he cannot properly meet his Obli-
cations. In an age in which the air
is full of voices crying: "LO here,
and LO there" the voice of a religious
paper should give no uncertain sound.
"We cordially agree with a we'll
considered editorial in q recent issue
of the NdshUiIe american to the
effect that the editor of the next gen.
eratiOn-in spite of any present indi-
cations to the contrary-will be re-
quired to be the most accomplished
of men; deliberately educated, stored
with inexhaustible resources of
knowledge, master of literary
technique, and full of Intellectual life
and moral ferVor.n

A GREAT deal of the wheat has been
harvested and will soon be on the
market. This will ease up the money
pressure considerably. The farmer
will get the money for his wheat, and
pay it to the merchant and the mer-
chant to the bank and the banker will
loan it back again to some other farm
er or merchant. Thus, one load OF
wheat will go long way. But the
farmer who can afford to hold will
not sell in a hurry. He will grind
what he needs, and store the other
for better prices. 1t is the man who
is behind and is forced TO sell, who
runs to the market when it is low.
the well-to-dO farmer waits for the
market to come to him.

CURRENT COMMENT.

And this is the way Brother Fields,
of the Lebanon Observer, sizes them up:
"Carmack, the A meTicdn's strawberry
blonde, and the awfully sarcastic ora
torical genius of Tennessee journalism,
and Baskette, the melodious little lyric
who does poetry for the NushUitte Ban
her, are engaging in a mud singing
contest. The rampant Cain, of the
NdshUiLIe Herald, is also on the war
path, attac king every imaginable object.
\ very dignified state of affairs to exist
among the three papers that have each
the largest circulation in the State.
The Banner will exhaust itself by and
by and favor us with a flip-flash stanza;
the american, too, will become ex-
hausted, and read the country press a
moral, though satirical lecture on duty
or decency or foreign missions, and

His name is Henry Parker. His par.
ents live in q humble cottage at the
foot of Long Hill. They are poor but
honest The father works in tho saw
mill, and tho mother does all in her
power to help him make living. She
has worn the same bonnet for twenty
two years and she goes bare-footed every
summer to save shoe leather. All! she
is indeed a true wife. and Mr.. Parker
has often blessed the day he found her:
Henry is now twelve years old. Ono
day last year his fond mother said to
him:
Henry, let US surprise your dear
father tonight. He tolls all day long.
He works ten hours for nine hours pay,
and he never strikes Let US surprise
him with something new for supper"
with all my hearth exclaimed little
Henry, as he left his play. "What
shall 1t be?"
"a fine, fat custard, my boy. You
run over to Mrs Thompson's and ask
her to lend me bowl, three eggs, cup
of sugar and pint of milk and I will
make tho custard."
but, mamma, don't you already owe
her two barrels of sugar, carload OF
eggs and hogshead of milk?"
Probably moro than that but when
you have o good neighbor don't let &c"
Little Henry departed in bouyant
spirits, and as he was about to cross the
bridge he espied an object in the road.
Going closer, he discovered that it was a
large, fat wallet He picked it up and
opened 1t, to find that 1t contained sew
eral hundred dollars. No ono was in
sight; no one had seen him. An evil
voice whispered to him to take the
money and throw the wallet away, and
for q moment he was tempted. But for
q moment only. Then he lifted up his
head and said aloud:
mo, 1 will not do it. This Doodle be-
longs to Judge Gherkin, who lives in
the biggest house in town and lends
money at eighteen per cont will carry
1t straight to his Office.
He did so. The Judge counted over
the money to see If II was all right and
then smiled upon the honest lad aud
said:
boy, thank you, and this next fall
I'll give you two shillings cord for
saving up my woodpile"
Honest Henry ran home to tell the
good news, and his mother laid her
hand on his head and said:

THE versatile Carmack, of the
american, addressed the Vanderbilt
graduates last Saturday night, and
delivered them a charming address
indeed, one replete with good sense
and good advice. Our venerable
friend waxed eloquent as he exhOrted
the young men to flee the wrath to
come and keep out Of the wild oats
field. If this gifted son of Maury was
not such brilliant and pronounced
sucoess as an editor, we would say he
made mistake in not being
preacher. The Sabbath Thoughts"
he has been expressing through the
american, have been doing a good
work for their author, and we hope
for bright conversion soon. When
it comes, Sam Jones and Sam Small
and Bob Taylor and other shining
examples will not be ain it, ut all.
