The excitement in Louisiana over the lottery campaign is now at its hight, and lt is described as something Avonderful, but still tho election is nine months dis tant. For three-fourths of a year to come, theu, this unequaled, excited and dis turbed condition of tho public mind is to continue. From this simple statement of fact we can gather some idea of the in tensity of feeling among the people upon the subject. Naturally the aggressive and most excited of the parties are those fighting the lottery octopus. Tho con test of the latter is made witii greater winning and the unsympathetic chink of gold coin, lt stands boldly, unblush lngly forAvard with its purse in its hand, tempting the State with an offer of one and a quarter millions of blood money annually, and bribing voters with an effrontery unparalleled. All political lines in tho State are aban doned; tho pros and antis make tho only issue. For onco in the history of tho Stato all the people, on ono side or the other, are running over each other to aecure the negro A'ote, and it is certain that next spring there will be no attempt made to keep tho black man from the polls. Unfortunately it is true that in Louisiana, as throughout the South, he is auseoptible to bribery more than are the whites. His impoverished condition makes the ring of coin exceeding tempt ing to him, and hence the efforts of tho friends of decency to "brace up" his moral courage, and to give him backbone suliicient to stand against the allurement oftho dollar. Thero is growing hope for the anti lottery cause. Its supporters are well organized in every parish: all the clergy ol all denominations :tr<- with them; th<' Governor and many leading Democrats support them: the farmers' Alliance has indorsed them by an anti-lottery plank in its platform; anti-lottery mass-meet lngs are numerous and enthusiastic, und pledges to vote against the curse are being signed throughout the Btate. Bo aroused and earnest are the people that a proposition is seriously debated lo rise in revolution if the lottery is not crushed at the ballot-box. The Creoles and foreigners aro mainly for the lottery; the blacks are most easily "worked" by its agents; some astute, but unscrupulous, politicians argue before the people that the subsidy fee the lottery will pay for its charter is suliicient to atone for the gambling evils it promotes; that lotteries are drawn elsewhere, and that the people Avill play at the game anyhow, and there fore it i.s wiser for Louisiana to reap the profit. All this is stale argument, the answer io it is too obvious and crushing to need to be repeate 1. The most humiliating thing about the < sac Ea that in tliis hitter part of the nine teenth century, with all the experience of the ages to teach us, and the ethics of imon honesty to guide US, any con siderable body of our people ahould be • 1 tostand forward as apologists for licensing gaming, and that, too, at the very time when Europe is shutting up her gambling dens, and closing her statute-books against charters to lottery gambh rs, having found, after half a century's experimenting with the mom t-tcr that the only efficacious treatment for it is to choko the life out of it. a.n Oakland court has punished a juror by imposition ofa heavy line. The man agreed to a verdict of guilty, but on a in..tion t". r a new trial, by affidavit he testified that be believed the defendant to bo innocent, and had concurred In the verdict only because he did not wish to be kept away from his business any longer. Of course the court WM right; of course the man deserves to be pun ished for perjury, if it were possible to do it, but we all know that this is but a dis covered case among very many that are buried in secresy. There is no question but that jurors frequently yield and sign verdicts that they believe to be wrong, for the mere purpose of being r from jury confinement Assuming this to be true, the question arises, does it conserve tho interests ofjustl priv to lock apa jury for a consitfc length of time in order to OOeroe the jurors into agreement ? Which is better, I ire the Independence of the juror and submit to disagreement, or to force concurrence by Long confinement at the risk of having an untrue verdict? The (remedy In large part i'or the evil in- I is the majority verdict, and which obtains in some parts. It has never I to us that tiie unanimous verdict isan essential of justice, or that it more - es the interests of society, than that which ifl rendered by one-half, or two-thirds of the panel. W. C. ISraxn is editing and publishing at Austin, Tex., a paper he calls the Jconoclas'. If men si verity, tbe snarl and the growl, fault-finding and pessim ism wore virtues, the TconoeloM poet them all. For instance, in the issuo far Angust Ist three quarto page s arc devoted hv the editor to "The Hypocrisy and CoAvardico of tho American Press." Itis j arraigned for all crime, wrong and in justice, and at its door is laid all sins of mankind. We are told that it lacks in dependence, truth, and honor; that it is not an exponent of public thought, but a blatant camp-follower; it is not a leader in progress, but is tho Aveight that holds down the safety valve of society, Avhile the furnace lires rage hotter and hotter; it is the brake on the Avheels of progress, a strait-jacket on society, preventing its expansion. It is false iv its conservatism, A-enal itt its politics, and it courts the popular rather than tho right side. It would have clamored for tho crucifixion of Christ, and the imprisonment of Gali leo; itis ludicrous in its abiding faith in its own puissance; its opinions are not honest; it is tiie seat of envy, the home of prejudice and the abiding place of time serving. This, in brief, presents the heads upon Avhich Brann enlarges, and | Aye givo them as illustrating the truth that in vituperation there is no strength. Brann forgets, or ignores the truth, that the press reflects the peoplo who support it; it is tho fair representative of the civil ization of the period: it is neither better nor worse than its environment. Since the Avorld is full of goodness, charity, j fair speaking and human tenderness and j helpfulness, so, too, is tho press, else it could not exist among a justice-loving people. The Iconoclast may rail to its limit, but tho press will continue to be the exponent of public opinion, and Avith all its errors and evils, will remain tho best means of the ago for inculcating a love of spreading the truth and conserv ing the desire for knowledge. Mr. Brann has to admit that there is hope for tho American press, and though ho holds it to be now all that i.s damnable, he finds in its history elements that indicate a foture, cleanly, elevated and refining. How, out of so much foulness, such good is to come, he docs not explain. Brann is either insane or bis observation is narrow and his thinkiug runs in a rut that is fall of envy and uncharitableness. It now turns out that tho true reason for the seizure of the .steamer City of Panama was because of Captain White's refusal to deliver to the Sau Salvador officials certain political refugees upon his ship. The ruling* in the case will be very nearly parallel with that in the Bar rundia affair. The American Hag pro- I touted the refugees, and Captain White's position will he maintained. But, un fortunately for the owners of the steamer line, San Salvador may cripple their franchise aud. l.y granting subsidies to German lines, take harsh revenge upon the American Hue, The Washington au thorities appear to have acted with promptitude in the ease of the City of Panama, aud the protest ofthe United States against the seiznre has already been entered, through Minister Pacheco*S agency. Whether the Salvadorian au thorities released the steamer on tin- pro test being filed, or whether Captain White sailed despite the seizure, we are not yet advised ; but that he has started up coast la certain, and that the Salvador officials] have no naval force with which to pre vent his departure is well known. _^_ It would be well for the workingmen to consider, before they lend themselves to the free coinage of cheap silver policy, as two parties are now asking them to do, to consider if the adoption of such a policy will aflect wage-earners. Is it or is it not true that when the Government permits the owner of Hi cents' worth of silver bullion to take it to tho mint and have it turned out a.s a 100-eent dollar, that commodities necessary to life will rise iv price? That is tho question every wage-earner and consumer must ask himself. Is it possible to give SO cents of value 100 ceuts of legal purchasing power, aud not change the price relations of goods for sale? Under such a policy the article to-day worth $0 cents in silver would by natural drill become worth the supposed 100 cents in the dollar made out of tho 80 cents of silver. The cirec-t ou the workingman's wages must, in tho long run be the same. A man working for $:_ a day would be paid in silver worth SO cents, or (I iiO of real value, which would sent the true purchasing power of his day's labor. « Tin: Philadelphia Record asks the Now York Recorder, whicli has taken it to task for advocating reciprocity without tho "Latin-American States" handicap: lf reciprocity meant -better wa^os fur the ..ic. better pricea for the farmer, neater security i"*.* capital," why should It Be con ; due l to regions with which tbi:, country iias, and Is liki ly to huve in the future, extremely ' small trade?

That is to say, we tlo not buy our boots or breeches from A or B or 0 for senti mental reasons; we do not choose our roast or cutlet at a shop out of sentiment, but because tha shopkeeper pleases us by his goods or prices, or both, and mukes it to our advantage to trade with him.

In a letter to tlie Oakland Tribune Col onel John P. Irish thus scathingly criti cises that paper's course in denouncing the shooting of Colvin by the father of iii- would-be victim: To the Editor of the Tribune —Sin: In an editorial on the Howell allair you vol unteer defense of me, and tak^ occasion to indict, try, convict and sentence a father who long forbore but finally struck, rightly and righteously, in defense of his family. It is true that I said Howell did riglit, and I desire now to repeat and emphasize it. In the last ten years there have been a dozen cases in Oakland of pursuit and persecution by lickerish wretches with au erotic maggot in their brains. In every case the woman was of peculiarly hign spirit and modesty, entitled to the r< spect of all men who remember their mothers, but they were pursued as if they were guilty of a crime by denying themselves to men without manhood. Colvin's conduct presents every offen sive feature possible. Not oonteut with personal actions, drunk and sober, thai revolt every normal man, he put iris erotic spiles in print, and to crown ail, alter his so-called "affections" h.: transfi -.rei! to another, bo c mtiuued, >\ith added vileness and vindictivene s, I • slauJcr^and persecute the lady, who (iom the first had rej< eted bis ac [uaintau< Any one who reads tbe "statem nt," paraded as that of the Maxwell woman, If capable of analysis and skilled in the abnormal phases of perverted men. m i - in it the dictation of Colvin toaw* sharing his debauch, into whose 1 head he had put jealousy of her husband. Having failed'in all his quest to find a fact with which to tarnish Horn i H's child, he gets a woman in bercups and j< to set up a phantom letter, and in the whole miserable business this waa the nearest be could gel to >■- Iden -c to justify himself in his publioand private slanders of a lady to punish her for refusing his attentions. Tliat it was his Intention to offer Miss Howell physicial harm 1 bave no doubt I believe that for a long time his i for su interview with her alone vi*as for the purpose of killing her. Defeated in this by her caution, tins jier* rl mined to slaughter ber reputation by methods which, the Tribune -ays. have succeeded. If this he so then no modest women are safe. If the newspaper press tak< j view of it. there la no close season for women; they an thi ■• mmon prey and legitimate game of abnormal meu, and | must choose between surrender oi their - or loss o!' their reputations, v. hen any man chooses to make the demand and liack it with a threat. Every father in this city knows thut in such cubes a.s tliis the law leaves his daughter without statutory defense, and you, by convicting Mr. Howell in ad vance of his trial, propose to leave him without natural defense. In the condition of society which your editorial suggests, fathers have no cnoice but to fling their daughters to any dog that harks under their windows. I sliould dislike to think that this or any other American community with yoa. Every wholesome lath: rand mot lier in California regards.lohn Howell as a soldier who has had to take up arms ! in defense of thousands of homes besides his own. and whatever fate befell bim, the sympathy and respect and friendship of thousands of good men and women are with him and his family, every one.
