The arrest of two editors for printing an
extract from another paper questioning the
validity of the aHti-lot,ery law is certainly
carrying things pretty high in this land of
free sp ech aud liberal government.
The Post has no objection to the stamping
out of the lottery companies, but the line
should be drawn, it thinks, at that point
where iTrespousibi bile underlings of the Gov
ernment attempt to stamp out the press.
On this line the Atlanta Constitution says
that this policy will not work. II lotteries
cannot be destroyed without also destroying
the freedom Of the press, the people will be
il favor Of letting the lott rieS alone. We
cannot afford TO yield our right to speak and
publish fair criticisms Of public measures.
If we yield the right in one instance we
whenever il suits the Government to demand
it. Fortunately it IS no easy matter to bull
doze the newspapers OF America. The
menace of fine and Imprisonment will in
timldate very few. No matter what Federal
officials may hold, the newspaper men Of
the country will not change their conviction
that an honest criticism or discussion of the
provisions contained in the anti-lottery law
cannot with any show of justice be held to
be a violation OF that law. II they are mis-
taken in this belief, then the law will have
to be repealed or modified. In this republic
the Government cannot array itself against
the press and have the support Of the
people"
1t is the policy and practice in some of the
monaTchies to inhibit criticism by tne press
of the acts Of Government, but until the
enforcement, or the alleged enforcement, of
the anti-l0ttery law no one dreamed that
such a thing would be attempted in the
United States.-HoustOn CTex.) Post, Sept.

Yesterday morning the nature OF her rela-
tious with the deceased, and was taken In
hand by the cross-eXaminer.
Attorney GOodfeilow called upon her for
an account of the illness of her first hus-
band. HE was an invalid from 1872 to
1874" she replied. HE was weak and ema-
ciated, and unable to work l supported
him by my work in the theater. He was a
clog-dancer"
The witness was asked whet Der she had
been faithful to her husband until she met
Mcdonald and replied in the affirmative.
Mcdonald paid the expenses of trip when
she and her invalid husband took TO inc
East, but with the understanding that she
would return to this city alone.
What was meant by that?' querled coun-
HE did not think my husband would sur
vive the trip" the mother OF the heir an

husband?'

Then the witness was asked to go back to
the days of her early youth and tell the
court what kind OF a lie she mad leo before
her marriage. She answered. that when she
was girl she ran away from home on &C
.rOnnt OF the harsh treatment she received.
When counsel questioned with reference to
McDonald's visit to her on the night before
the child was born she broke down and
sobbed bitterly until Judge COtfey declared
a recess. When she returned to the stand
she said that her husband knew that she re-
ceived money from Mcdonald, and that her
husband was present during several visits
which the Captain made to see the boy. At
torney GOodfellow asked her about her COM
plant for divorce, in which it was alleged
that her nus band was the father Of the child.
She said she did not remember having
sworn to the complaint. The record OF the
divorce suit was introduced, and the wit
ness then stated that the allegation as to the
paternity of the child was inserted by her
LAWYER in order to prevent scandal.

TEACHERS CERTIFICATES.
They Can Only Be Granted by tho Board

They Can Only Be Granted by tho Board
of Examiners.
The much-mOoted question in the School
Department as to who possesses the power
of granting school certificates, the Board of
Education or the Board of Examiners, has
been again discussed, this time by the City
and County Attorney in reply to the fol-
lowing questions propounded by Superin-
tendent SWEET:
First-Is the power of holding examinations
and issuing teachers certificates vested in the
Board OF Education or In tue Board of Ex-
amineTs?
Second. II tile power OF finally issuing cerlf.
the said board power to change tile name or
grade OF any Certificate recommended by the
BOaI d OF Examiners?
The sole power to examine teachers,
says Mr.. burst, in his opinion is vested in
the Board of Examiners. While 1t is true that
the Constitution gives the Board Of Educa-
ton control over examinations and the
granting of certificates, it is only in
limited sense, where the law does not pro-
vide for and prescribe the duties Of a Board
of Examiners.
The certificates granted by the Board of
Examiners can only be based upon the re-
suits OF examination. Whatever grade such
results call for must bs granted, and no
other; hence the Board of Education can
not grant or authorize or require the grant
ing OF certificate not warranted by those
resuitS
