which was sold within a vear for S1B00,
and last ycar in anples and fruit alono
there wcro sold oll tho placo onough to
piy for it, and sevoral hundred dollars
to sparo. Tho lato owner told us tho
othcr tlay that ho certainly expected tho

on tho premises cost $1,800. That ho

The freedom of the press is one thing;
the licenseof ihe press another. ine jour
ripln rohlch deliberatelv lcnore this dis
tinclion are the only enemies which the
nreas has to fear in these aaye. us ioes
without lonc beo became of no account,
It is the foes within its own lines agatnst
which it now has need toarmitself.
"Congress shall make no law," says the
Constitution of the United States,
abridging the freedom of speech or of the
press;" and a similiar proviaion will be
found in all the State constitutions. Is
there any danger that this injunclion
will ever be abrogated t 1'robabiy not;
but the fact remalns that there are news-
naners in thN country to-day pursuing a
policy well calculated to pioduce a pub-
lic scnliinent wnicn eome oi lueae unyo
may demand that a censorahlp ot tbe
nrpoa be establiehed.
AVhat is this policy? It is, in a word a
nolicv which teaches by example that prl-
vate life has no riglita which a newspaper
is bound to resnect. 'A man's house ia
liia rnstlp." is the familiar nhraso to ex
press the idea that there are sanctities
attached to bome, which, other thmgs
being equal, cannot in justicy or deceucy
be invaded. The policy of the newspa-
pers we have in mind is founded upon a
rauicauy amerem cunceiuuu ui me bik
niflcance of a man's house. They re-
gard it, not as anything in the nalure ol
a castle, but rather as a place as prop
erly open to the public gaze and printed
comments as a BKating rinK, as a re-
sult of this outragenus policy one not in
frenuentlr sees publicationn in thenews'
papcrs which excite the indignation of
all reputable people, which are ubsnlutely
indeleneioie t.nu wnicn, neveriraa, can'
nnt he easilv reached by law. Thus ii
the freedom of the press erossly abused

teaches that when the populace Is beni

discrimlnate. Sometimes, in its zenl for
the ending of an abuae, it curtails the

political tolerance. White immigration
