THE LICENSE OF THE PRESS.

Evidently there is no escape for any
man from the shafts of foul assault in
the sensational press, when once it has
been resolved upon that he shall be
made target. This fact is made sin
gularly conspicuous just now by the
cruel attack upon a venerable Justice
Of the Supreme Court of the State, Hon.
T. B. Mcfarland, an old citizen OF Sac
ramento. Justice Mcfarland came
from San Francisco to Sacramento the
the remains of lifetime friend, and
to assist in committing the body to the
tomb. The funeral was not over in
time for the Justice to catch the z p.
m. train for San Francisco, and he was
compelled to wait over until between 4
and o'clock. During that time he
met casually some old Sacramento ac-
quaintances, and spent some two hours
with his friend, General Barnes.
The venerable Justice has made this
statement in response to malignant and
mendacious assertions that he came to
Sacramento to meddle in the Senatorial
fight and to urge the claims of one of
the candidates. The Justice, whose
word is the synonym for truth, feels
compelled by the outrageous attack
to reply to his assailants that he is
taking, and has taken no part or con-
Germ in the contest; that while here he
took no action in such direction and
made no expressions upon the subject
which justify the assault upon him.
This ought to suffice. 1t does suffice
with men who respect character, and
who have regard for truth. But it
press. That agency for evil will take
pains to convey to its readers that its
original charge was true; if not by di-
rect statement, it will manage to create
that impression by inuendo.
Had the libelous sheet which assailed
character in the instance referred to
desired to have printed the truth it
could easily have ascertained it in the
first instance. But such procedure is
no part of the ethics of scurrillous jour-
-nalism. With that order Of papers ques-
tdens of truth are inconsequential. To
be charged by the merest whisper of
cowardly suspicion is equivalent to be-
ing convicted with that kidney, which
respects neither the altar nor the grave,
and which holds that the more shining
the mark the better the opprtunity to
villify and detract.
Nothing more infamous in the line
of assault has come to notice in a long
time than the incident referred to, GER
tainly nothing more indecently men
dacious. But there is no use whatever
in attempting to stem villifcation of
this order. The man Of self-respect can
do but one Of two things in these cases,
cowhide the Mbeler in the public forum
or submit to the assault and trust to
his reputation for integrity and his
character for uprightness of conduct to
justify his daily walk For the sensa-
tional and Hbelous press has the whip
hand; under cover of Liberty of the
press 1t maligns, assails and ridicuIes
by inuendo or infamous charge, whom
soever 1t pleases with immunity and
without restraint

John Longmaid, respondent; William
A. Coulter ct al, appellants. Action
by vendor for purchase price. Affirmed.
There is great distinction between
the lien of the vendor, after convey
ance, and the interest Of the vendor
tanned the legal title as security for
the payment Of the purchase price. In
the latter case, the vendee has acquired
only an equitable estate in the land. He
has acquired the right to have the legal
title conveyed to him upon the per-
formance of his part of the agreement.
The vendor who holds the legal title
may sue at law upon the debt or in
equity to enforce the contract, or he
may pursue both remedies concurrent
ly; his right to pursue the property is
security or by other acts which would
operate as waiver of the implied
lien; and so long as he retains the title
the vendor clearly manifests an inten-
ton to rely upon it as security for his
debt, and equity will not compel him to
part with his title until his debt has
been paid. The institution of proceed
ings at law for the purchase price,
whether evidenced by notes or not, and
the recovery of judgment and the issu-
ance of execution. thereon do not affect
the right Of the vendor to satisfy his
claim for the purchase price out of the
property. except so far as such judg
ment may have been satisfied.

The averment that defendant spoke
"the false and scandalous words fol-

their falsity to pass a general demurrer.
The power to set off one judgment
against another exists independent OF
statute. and rests upon the general
jurisdiction of courts over their suit
ors and processes. One of the rights
of a. judgment. debtor is to acquire an

MAY FIGHT WHISKY TRAFFIC.
DIR. BrOughton Has Arranged for a
Notable Revival.

Atlanta, Aug 29.-Dr L. G. Broughton,
who has been enjoying a months vacation
in New York. has arranged for a noted
revival meeting in September at his Tab
ernacle here
He has secured the assistance of Rev.
Dwight L. Moody, who was here during
the exposition, and also Rev. c. Camp
bell Morgan, a noted divine of London,
England. one of the most remarkable pull
pit orators of the world 1t IS said Rev.
sam Jones may also take part in the
meeting.
1t is Or. Broughton's intention to make
this if possible, the most pronounced re
vival meeting ever held in Atlanta and
while il is not given out that it is to that
purpose. it is said by many that one Of
the main objects of this religious demon
straton VIII be a crusade against the
whisky traffic.
Or. Broughton has said that Atlanta
must have q prohibition council and so
pronounced has he been along this line
that just prior to his departure for New
York it was limited that he might be in
duced to stand for the Council from the
Fifth ward. Dr. Broughton noticed these
rumors at the time. and while denying
that he had any political aspirations, threw
out the broad inference that things might
take that turn. if it was necessary so to
do in order TO strengthen the prohibition
cause in this city.
He has said in his pulpit that he had
the whisky candidates spotted and was
going to boycott every one of them with
all the religious influence that he could
command, and the bringing Of this strong
array of pulpit orators to Atlanta would
indicate that this is the first step in his
plan of campaign.
