Principles, Not Hangmen.

Our esteemed contemporary in Chicago
the Inter- Ocean, takes n trivial view OF very
important public question:
"nE TO be regretted that Newspaper 80 clean and
% far from sensatonalism A. THE srr Il should bs
heard demanding repeal OF the law against publicity
Tnx sus win not suffer when It comes TO be rule OF
Journalism that the account OF execution shall be
confined mention OF the fact that certain day .
certain man was killed, In pursuance OF law. for
having murdered another man In . certain place At
certain time There are newspapers in New York
whose readers Of the sort that rejoice to read re-
porers story Of hanging but the readers of Tnr suS
are not OF the raw.heAd. and bloody bones tribe"
II the convenience and profit OF the news
papcr as a purveyor OF news were the only
things to be considered, probably no SELF
reliant journal In New York would object
"a letting the secret execution law stand.
There is little more trouble In ascertainng
the facts, larger demand upon the enter
prise and resources OF the newspaper cstab-
lishmcnt, heavier draft upon the genius
Of the modern reporter, but that is all. The
news Is obtained and printed Just tho same
as II Mr.. ELBR1DoE T. GERRY had never
been born into this world OF woe and sin.
Those larger demands upon enterprise and
heavier drafts upon ingenuity and organ
lied energy are precisely what every new =
paper that is fit to exist Welcomes like the
breath OF the morning sea Dir, or the north
west wind In midsummer. It feeds upon
them, and they mako it great.
Furthermore from the point OF view OF tho
journal whose only purpose Is to sell what
It prints. there is no com parson in regard TO
news value between m old-fashioned public
hanging and ono OF these so-called secret exc
cutions, mysteriously conducted behind i'm
penotrable stone walls. and surrounded by
dead line OF Winchester rifles and Gordon
OF blur-gray oaths and pledges. Public in
terest in the affair is stimulated by the new
tangled barriers TO information, and in this
respect the law defeats the very purpose
which the cranks who framed it had in mind.
1t makes no difference TO THE SUN whether
the crazy attempt to restrict by legislation
the constitutional rights Of tho Tree press
takes this particular form or some other.
To-day the law is directed against the pub
lication OF the news about executions by
electricity. Tomorrow it may prohibit the
publication OF court proceedings in cases OF
crime where high political interests are in
v0lvcd. The next day 1t may attempt to ex-
ercise n censorship over reports OF the po-
litical conventions OF the party opposed to
the party In power. Tho principle is tho
same. the invasion OF a precious liberty is
the same, the violation of plainly declared
constitutional right is the same, and the
duty of the free American press, concerned
for the preservation OF its own freedom, is
the sane. The SUN will continue to per-
form this duty and to oppose such laws as
long as it has ink to put on paper.
We hore that in this aspect the position
OF THE sun will commend itself to the good
sense of DIR Chicago contemporary.

The on-Confor,nists and Homo Rule

The Carlow election, repeating with great
emphasis the lessons OF North Sligo and
North Kilkenny, seems to prove that Mr..
PARNELL has ceased to figure us a
Nationalist leader. 1t also indicates that
the McCarthyites should be ablo to OBJ
tain almost as many Irish seats in the next
Parliament as the undivided Nationalists
now hold. Does it follow that tho overwhelm-
ing triumph OF tho McCarthyites would
leave the prospect Of obtaining home rule as
promising asit looked a year ago? Is it like
ly, in other words. to strengthen or weaken
the Gladstonians in England? 1t is because
they answer this question in tho negative
that not only the Liberal Unionists. but a
great many sincere GIadstonians declare
that the blow inflicted by Mr.. PARNELL on
his party is irrcmcdabie. and that British
Non-Conformists will no longer consent to
give Ireland a form Of horne rule which tho
Catholic hierarchy will accept.
Let us SEQ how this conclusion Is renched
by those who take gloomy vicw OF tho
situation. WHO was it. they ask, who won
in North Sligo, North Kilkenny, and Car
low2 Was it Mr.. I. HEALY Mr.. SEXTON. or
any other political representative of tho fac
tion opposed to MIR. PARSELL? 1. is notor-
Gus, they answer. that, had tho Catholic
Church remained neutral, no other Nation
alist leaders conld have coped with Mr..
PARNELL in political campaign, with the
possible exception Of Mcssrs. DILLON and
o 'BNIEN. who wcro cut OF by imprison-
ment from taking any part In the contest.
The victors then, in the three successive en-
counters were ostepsibly the Mccarthy
iias hut rauilv nd unmtst hIx, tho Gath
olic Bishops and priests Since Carlow it Is
impossible to deny or disguise the fact,
which, we may add. Is neither startling nor
unwecome to the mass OF Irish tenant farm
ers and agricultural laborers. But what are
the British Non-Con' ormsts going to say.
when to them the fact Is brought home, as II
surely will be by the Unionlsts in the cam
paign preceding the next general election,
that the Catholic hierarchy exercises abso-
Lutte control over Mt least eighty OF the 103
seats allotted to Ireland? II the Non-Con-
formsts would not tolerate the possession
OF political authority by the Protestant PAR
NELL after his conviction OF adultery, how
can they view with equanimity the seizure OF
tremendous political lover by the represent
atives OF a religion 70 which they are irrec-
oncilably and fanatically opposed3
The UniOnsts make no secret OF the ad-
vantage they expect to gain from the sensi-
tiyeness of the Non-Cunformist conscience.
II the Gladstonians and McCarthyites,
united. obtain majority OF the next House
OF Commons, and thereupon bring in a
Home Rule till. some leading Unonist will
propose an amendment making it n penal
offence for Catholic Bishop or priest
to take any part whatever in politi-
cal election. 1t is believed that ofsthe
nominal supporters Of Mr.. GLADSTONE in
Parliament, every Scotch Presbyterian and
every Mont -Conformist member for English

The Hon. THOMAS BRACKET REED is
having his portrait painted in Paris by Mr..
JOHN S. SARGENT, one OF the most accom-
plshed and original OF the younger genera
tiOn OF American artists; and the work
ought to he a noteworthy addition to the
gallery OF statesmen. A subject more
salient In characteristics. more interesting
in genius, and stronger in type could not be
given to Mr.. SARGENT's pencil, even II he
should go back to the great race OF subtle
statesmen and hdalsos who were the con-
temporaries OF VELAsQUEz. with whom
some OF his admirers have compared him.
The high-piled forehead OF the SHAKE
spEARE OF the Strutford bust, the shrewd
and penetrating eyes Of a master
politician, and the careless Down-East
moustache scarcely penumbrating mouth
OF hospitable width, at once humor-
Gus ard determined; cheek firm aud
hard. n chin that means business, and a
coquettish scbaceousness OF under chin and
upper neck: here is a combination to which
all Of Mr. SARGENT's skill cannot do more
than justice. The moustache will be es-
pecially difficult to render.
Unlike another celebrated son OF Maine
and Bowdoin, Mr.. REED does not give up
to his upper lip what was meant for
his brains. He does not wantonly
waste nervous tissue in the nutrition OF
a moustache several sizes too large for him.
Avoiding capill AIRY hypertrophy, he contents
himself with plain, modest. and econom-
ical mous,ache. To parody famous phrase
OF DANIEL WEBsTEn's speech In the Dart
mouth College case. it is a small NOUS
tache, and yet there are those who love it.
Its proprietor devoted nearly,fl fifty years to
raising it; the painter should not slur it,
magnify or miniiy it, but lay it upon the
canvas in all its simplicity OF texture and
carelessness OF attitude.
Another charm. evident II impalpable OF
Mr.. Speaker REEDS countenance is the
unextinguished light of boylshness that

expression Of unworn boyishness on that
massive plenilHne OF vlsago will be difficult.

with the gavel in one hand and the Force
