Blight of Perjury.
The frightful indifference to the
obligations of official oaths i is very
demoralizing in its influence. When
judges on the bench and prosecut¬
ing attorneys are violating their
oaths by shielding criminals for
political reasons—things that by
no means are of rare occurrence—
it is haidly a matter of surprise
that their example should be fol
lowed by some of the witnesses.
Outside the courts the violation of
official oaths is much more com
mon than it is inside, for, fortu¬
nately, the majority of our judicial
tribunals are free from the suspt
c i° n of intentional wrongdoing.
In non-judicial positions a defiant
^’ sre £ ar d of the law has become so
■ common that it has ceased in many
I instances to provoke comment.
I \V hen men in high places take no
I pains to conceal the fact that an
I oath does not bind them, what are
I we to expect from private persons
"'ith vicious instincts ? Ex.

A Monument to McKinley.
The Journal has suggested that
a monument be erected to the late
President McKinley.
The movement is a good one, and
we have no doubt the monument
will be built. We should like to
see it built of Georgia granite and
marble.
But he has a monument already.
It is located ir. the hearts and af¬
fections of the people, and it will
never mold, grow dim, or decay.
The name of William McKinley
has gone into history, and will live
on, and even grow brighter with |
time, and mellow with age, as it
goes on down through the ages to
come.
In this particular, no president
of the United States has a greater,
or more lasting monument, than
William McKinley.

Quadrennial Sessions.
Alabama, following Mississippi
in 1890, will be the second state in
I the union, if the new constitution
shall be adopted, to establish quad
rennial sessions of the legislature.
At first the sessions in all the states
were annual. Dele ware changed
to biennial meeting as early as
Ma,viand in .846, and Vir
giniaia fegislature ,850. The Pennsylvania
has met every two
years instead of annually since
1873 Now all the states but six
-
have passed over to the system of
biennial meetings. New York,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode
Island, South Carolina and
gia alone adhere to the ancient
method, and in several of these the
demand that the legislature shall
convene less frequently has gained
widespread proportions, Alabama [
not only proposes a session once in
four years but a session limited to
fifty days. The steady and grow
