and high ideals for the safeguard

and high ideals for the safeguard
ing of reputation. The proper
sity to censure the offenders Of
these virtues that beautify and
glorify human life are but inviting
criticism of their own laches that
made possible the development of
youthful unrestrained passions in
to the criminal of more mature
years. Throttle indulgence, do
no wrong, and the light of truth
will not cast shadow, but rather
shed an effulgence on all that is
best, noble and honorable in hui
man character. So the journalist
who publishes facts connected
with the recurring events of every
day life, not fancies, is no more
responsible for the darker phases
of human occurrences than he is
for the destruction that follows
the Embossed wrath of the forces
of nature. Nor will he be deter
red from the exposure of wrong
by threats, menaces or violence
itself. The freedom of the press
makes it a mighty force for the
conservation of right in this land.
'Here shall the press the Peoples right main
tain,
Unaw'd by influence and unhrib'd by gain;
Here patriotic Truth her glorious precepts
draw,
Pled'g to Religion. Liberty and Law"

The editor of the New York
Independent attempts to condone
his offense against ,decency and
society for his participation in the
Cosmopolitan banquet, by the
plea that there was nothing wrong
or sensational in the commingline
of white women and negro men,
nor in the disgusting sentiments
expressed at that gathering. This
only demonstrates how even IN
telligence can lower its standard
of social relations; how prejudice
can break down the barriers which
the memorable laws of nature have
erected for the preservation and
purity of race distinctions. Such
a sentiment and feeling is akin to
Shakespeare's definition of vice,
and with these opponents of race
equality and miscegenation grows
apace until they become familiar.
"vice is q monster of so frightful mien,
As TO be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We nrst endure, then pity, then embrace"

LEGISLATION.

The great disadvantage of legis-
lation of the present era.-State
and Nationals that it is too
hurried, too prolific aud lacks the
essence of careful compilation and
wise consideration. 1t is too prone
to take into consideration the
needs or desires of a contracted
constituency, or to promote the
political ambition of some aspirant
for Office. Legislators. with few
exceptions, do not pause to con-
slider the welfare, prosperity, the
moral safeguards of all the people.
Intent on the consnmmation of
some personal ambition. fellow
lawmakers are importuned to
support some pet scheme. influ-
enced with the promise of like
reciprocity for some measure ad-
vocated by them. Thus this trad
ing in legislative enactments loads
the statute books with imperative
and hurried and ill-advised laws
that are of no benefit TO their pro-
jectors or the people at large.
If the same care, the same fore
thought, the same wisdom and
safeguards were thrown around
the formation of the laws as are
applied to successful business
they would contain
fewer flaws and become less vol
luminous.
The present Legislative body OF
has taken up the work
of law-making under conditions
and restrictions such as have sell
dom confronted the legislators of
a people They are under special
pledges aud promises to their
several constituencies to enact
reforms,-reforms that
have a strong bearing on the moral
status, financial standing and mat
,rial progress and prosperity of

Their every act will be scanned
With jealous scrutiny; their every |
Itterance will be dissected, scrut-
nized and held up to the light OF

Judge Hough of the United

the contention that President

the negro soldiers who shot up
Brownsville. This ought to close
