An Excellent Example.

The militia of Roanoke, Va, who fired
into il mob engaged in attempting to
lynch IL colored man accused of crime
have given an example which ought to
be generally followed in the South, and
might very protitably be initiated in
Jefferson parish, La. So far from be-
ing bounded and denounced, these citi-
zen soldiers ought to be praised for their
courage and their sense of obligation to
duty a1d the law. 1t innocent persons
were injured, this does not affect the
character Of the work done by the mi
litia. Innocent persons had no business
where lawless mob was operating, un-
less to assist in putting down the mob.
The fact that the criminal was ulti-
mately lynched in another town to
which he had been taken by the author
ities, does not impair the effect of the
yindication of the law at Roanoke. A
few more instances of bold stand on
the part of Southern State authorities
against lynclling would soon put an end
to the barbarous practice.-N. Y. Press.

New York Witness We have long
needed a National bankruptcy law. The
Torrey bill has been again introduced
into the House of Representatives by
Col. Oates, of Alabama. This measure
is in advance OF existent laws and
should be pushed through after being
amended as may be found desirable
during its passage. 1t puts all the cred
itors of a bankrupt on a fair footing, in
stead of allowing undue preferences
such as are now so commonly made. 1t
also provides for the discharge of an
honest bankrupt after he has given up
everything. Above all, it aims to put
an end to the perplexing diversities
which now exist between the laws of
different States on this subject. In the
present day wien interco,nmunicatio
between all parts of the country is so
constant and SO intimate, and the bust
ness interests are so interviewer, a ma
tional law is more than ever business
necessity. AS matters now stand, great
injustice is frequently inflicted on credi-
tors for whom the debtor has no parti-
cular concern while the interests of
favored few are unduly guarded.

We 60 on free tickets.
If we are seen on the streets too often
they say we neglect our business.
II we avoid going on the streets they
say we don't hustle after news.
If we reject a long winded cOmmuni-

stops his paper.
II we publish lengthy communications
our readers say we lack discretion aud
put in anything Ito fill up"
1t we fail to. decorate our office on
Washington's birthday they say we lack
enterprise, and that there is not a drop
of patriotic blood in our veins.
If we swell out in a new suit they say
we got our clothes "on tick" or adver-
Using and that we are by far too fop-
pish.
1t we sometimes perpetrate joke. or
make a stagger at poor little pun, they
say it is exceedingly light and won't do.

If we publish man who has brought
disgrace upon his family, the friends

Col. Thogeland tellsof what he calls a
sure cure for stammering. A person
who does not stammer- without being
conscious of it, as he begins to speak
let's the tongue rest against the roof of
the mouth the contrary is the case
with the stammerer. Now if the per-
son who stammers will, when he begins
to speak, press the tongue to the roof of
his mouth, he will find he can speak as
easily and fluently as any one else. The
remedy is simple one, and hundreds
of persons may be benefited by the
knowledge of tn. O. Daily Item.

New York Witness We do not think
that any more barbarous system of COL
onization was ever devised by man than
that by which the lands purchased from
the Indians within the past few years
have been allotted to settlers. The man
who had the best horse or the longest
legs, or who was sharp enough to evade
the law and get into the territory before
the others, was the man who had first
choice, and the poor man, who had Il
poor horse and who was not able to run
had nc chance at all. In other words,
the man who most needed free grant
of land could not get it. We do not be-
lieve that even an African tribe would
set out to colonize new land on SO uu-
fair system, and VIC arc glad to think
that there will be no further opportuni-
ty for such colonization.
