"FXPRFSSION OFPUBLIC OPINION"

In conversation recently had with
fellow townsman, who by the way
never enjoyed the privilege of collegi-
ate or university training, he asked our
definition Of law. We tried to recall
the exact words of Blackstone in an
swer to like query, but before we
could do so, he did so for us, and then
began to criticise the definition of the
able law writer, and added, Law is
nothing more nor less than the ex-
preston of public opinion" We have
since thought much of what he said,
and have come to the conclusion that
he was about right. Law is nothing
more nor less than the expression of
public opinion. This being so all law
is dead letter which is not supported
by public opinion. The laws against
pistol "totingn in most of the States
are rigid enough as enacted but the
trouble is that so many men (?) fancy
it badge of manhood to 90 armed.
The boys take up the same silly notion
and so go to "tOting' too.
And so the laws against Sabbath
breaking, selling cigarettes, cruelty to
animals, combines, swearing in public,
gambling and especially those aimed
at the sale of intoxicants are not en-
forced simply because public opinion
does not demand it.
When all the christian people, sober
people, well behaved and orderly peo-
pie Ofany country, any commonwealth,
any community, any city, any town,
demand a reform no matter what it is
that reform will be sure to come. The
trouble is that so many stewards, and
elders, and deacons, and vestrymen,
and class leaders do love a "dram,'
and so long as this is so, and it has
been so from the days of Noah, it will
be "up hill" work to close the chung
hOles.u
Few men have il in their hearts to
commit murder, and so the law against
murder is fairly well enforced False
swearing is not popular fad, and it
follows that the crime of perjury does
not go UNPUBLISHED.
When men in general hate Sabbath
breaking and whiskey drinking as they
do killing fellow-men, we will have
quiet Sundays, and the sale of intoxi-
cants will have fallen into "innocuous
desuetude." Claw is an expression of
popular opinion" and not as MIR.
says Law is rule of action

Richmond has her head set in the
direction of that Street Fair, and will
be certain to "get there" We have
ours in the same direction and hope to
be there too. We have long since been
convinced that the place to have eX-
positions or World Fairs is along the
principal streets of the city. They
can be made to hold all the attractions
and are so in touch with the visiting
masses. We much prefer "seeng the
sight" in the very heart of the city
rather than to be going out on the
suburbs to find them.

age he was taken into the office of Mr..
Stevenson, in his day leading lawyer
of the State, as mere office boy. From
that humble place he moved up to that

large and lucrative practice of Ken
tucky's leading lawyer. He was after
that a partner of Mr.. Carlisle, and
when politics tempted him he was
realizing $25, 600 year from the prac-
tice of his profession. But alas, the
political cup was placed to his lips and
he was made to drink it to its bitter
dregs. The weaklings who feed at the
public crib or starve, saw in him the
line elements of the leader they 30

THE BATTLE IS OYER.

The pope of Rome, the Commer- cal Appeal, the ezar of Russia, the royal astronomer of England, the chief of the naval observatory in 6he United States, and Camille Flammarion, the most eminent as tronomer of France. have decided that i6 takes 1,900 complete years to make nineteen centuries, and that as the twentieth tury can not begin until the nineteenth is finished, it will not begin until January l, 1901.
 This settles the matter rrevoea biy, aad there IS no appeal from our decision. The Commercial Ap. peal has opened its columns to the afgu6ers of both sides, and every kind of opinion possible to be con- ceived has been given an airing. But we have decided now to call a halt, A fresh battalion of cranks with the twentieth century face on them are now advancing against our serried colums, and our serried columns are complaining. Hence it is that We shall be compelled to reject all further communications on the subject, unless they are paid for as advertising matter.
