A Moral Awakening Wanted.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Our usually just and we'll l-balanced con- temporary, the Brooklyn Eagle arraigns the whole south for certain highly im- proper practices which, it says, are In vogue in three counties of Alabama" For example, 1t appears that negro in one of these Counties "borrowed dollar from white man and neglected to pay 1t back. The white man had him arrest ed and fined se5 for obtaining money un- der false pretenses. He was sold for the amount of his fine to another white man, who worked him for a year and after wards resold him to another white man for $40 The Eagle says this amounts practically to a restoration of slavery and adds: What with lynching slavery, feuds, moonshining, child labor and the necessity for a military guard in Its courts of justice, 1t looks as if the south were In need of a moral awakening"
 If any such practice as our Brooklyn contemporary describes actually exists in Alabama or any other southern state, those who profit by it should be called to stern accounting. It is a grievous wrong for which the victim should re- ceive immediate redress. But when our contemporary piously suggests that "the south Is in need of moral awakening" 1t is pertinent to inquire whether all parts of the country, including even New York, would not be better for such an awakening" Is there no such thing as 'slavery' in Gotham, where the sweat shop" system has fourished for many years? Is 1t true that enormous quanti- ties of 'moonshine whisky" are manu- factured there under the very noses of the internal revenue collector and his deputies? How long has 1t been since the abolition of the Company stores' in Pennsylvania, which sold miners the ne- cessaries of life at exorbitant prices and reduced them practically to a condition of involuntary servitude?" And, talk Ing about "child labor" how many little boys underfed and underslzed are doom ed to toll for a pittance in the mines of Pennsylvania? And the outrageous white slave traffic." which exists in Philadelphia and New York; has any serious effort ever been made by the au- thorities in either of these cities to sup press 1t?
 These suggestions are offered in no carping or unfriendly spirit but merely as reminder to our excellent Brooklyn contemporary that the "need of moral awakeningH Is not confined to any sec ton of the country We are all of us poor miserable sinners" Let us awake to righteousness and have general puri- flying of the atmosphere from the Atlan- tic to the Pacific, from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico.

No Indictment.

"You, as grand Jurors for the body
of this county, do solemnly swear that
you will diligently inquire and a true
presentment make Of all such matters
and things as shall be given you In
charge; the states council, your fell:
lows. and your own you shall keep
secret; you shall present; no man for
envy, hatred or malice; neither shall
you have any unpresented for love,
fear, favor or. affection, or hope of re-.
ward; but you shall present things
truly as they come to your knowledge
according to the best of your under
standing. So help you Cod
The above oath, taken verbatim,
which is administered to the grand
juror, is a bar to any questioning or
real knowledge Of the proceedings in
cident to the case of Vane Hamilton,
which was presented before them. Mr..
Lamb and his associate were seen
once or twice on the streets of Grove
dale and to enter the courthouse. A
hush of expectancy lay over the town,
but Of course it was never known
what was said and done with regard
to the bank case behind those closed
doors and before men sworn to
secrecy. The result only was known;
and as 1t would have awakened great
excitement to have known that an In
dictment had been found against Vane
Hamilton, it occasioned equal stir to
learn that none had been brought.
And the tongues were set a-wag-
ging. If the cashier had been set at
liberty, then 1T must be he was reck-
oned unaccountable for his embezzle-
ment, or some other person had made
use Of his name or influence to gain
possession Of the notes and obtained
them, they said The grand jury
might consider there was lack OF
grounds for indictment, but it would
in their opinion, have been much bet
ter to let the case come to trial. Bet
ter for him, better for the town. II

Serious indeed was the state Of at
