FEBRUARY 21 1888. JUDGE SPEER ON THE PRESS. “The Relations of the Press to the Administrations of Justice,” was the subject of Judge Emory Speer’s re cent address before tlie Florida Bar Association. Jn handling this sub ject, among other things, Judge Speer said: ‘‘The press is assuming a terri ble responsibility, it is guilty of the most unwarrantable assumption when it proceeds in advance of or pending the trial to decry and de nounce, or laud and appraise, it matters not, the proceedings of a court of justice where the rights or liberty of parties are at stake. But when it turns all the artillery of its power to crush a party to an untried cause ; when it undertakes to insure conviction, to fix the sentence of tho court, to defeat anew trial; in other words, to adjudicate and dispose of tho matter in controversy, however praise-worthy the motive, it is a de plorable wrong, a dangerous viola tion of the spirit, if not the letter of the law. It is a fearful misuse of the power with which it is intrusted, and it is beyond that well-nigh illimitable province wherein so nobly and suc cessfully it labors for the ameliora tion of society, and the eradication of its evils. Consider the indescribable disad vantage at which the party is taken when the controlling newspapers of the community assume to determine the merits of the cause in advance of the trial. Every’ lawyer will ap preciate it; every editor should. Even in commonplace affairs the heart of the faithful advocate sinks when an article in the morning paper misstates his client’s rights and creates a public opinion bo may never be able to correct. This we have all suffered. But when the seething passions of the multitude, outraged by the presence of heinous crime, turn upon the suspected tho volcanic fury of their indignation, such conduct on the part of the press makes a fair trial hopeless. If then by inflammatory appeal, sustained assault, by impugning the action of the court, and assailing the counsel retained, the press directs and con centrates the public temper, no court, howsoever commanding, is compe tent to give to tho accused the fair and impartial which is the base principle of human right in the social system. That majestic instru ment the constitution of the United States, declares the accused shall “enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, and shall have the assistance of counsel for his deiense. These simple words, and the price less privilege they confer, will for ever challenge the admiration and kindle the gratitude of the philoso phic friend of man. But the power of tho press, misdirected may as ef fectually deny the constitutional right as if the clause were blotted from the instrument. To inflame the public mind against the accused is to deny an impartial jury ; to ridicule the defendant’s counsel with para graph and picture, with irony and satire; to impugn his motives ; belit tie his argument; to praise his ad versary to his disadvantage, and denounce in unmeasured terms the whole scope and purpose of his labor, and to ao this day after day and week after week is practically to paralyze his faculties and to destroy’ his usefulness to his client. To the maintenance of trial bv law, and the discouragement of trial by newspapers, the bench should have the steady and unwavering support of the bar. Its honor, its rank as an honorable profession, its utility, aye, its very existence, de pends upon the inviolability of un prejudiced trial under the constitu tion and the law. Undoubtedly 7 the press has a most useful, important and vital relation to the administration ofjustice. Its agencies for the direction of crime in criminals of every degree are unsur passed. Its reportorial corps have rendered the most invaluable ser vices in the exposure of cruel wrongs upon the individual, and gigantic schemes to plunder the public. Its fearless and searching cautery has burned with fierce but senative heat, with lurid but beneficent light, into the cancerous corruption of rings and rascals, leaving them scorching and blistering in the indignation and contempt of the world, and the body politic redeemed and cleansed of their loathsome contact. Let the fearless journalist continue to lay bare the story of such wrongs and such cor ruptions. Let him give to the world the evidence in its broadest scope and minutest detail. Let him demand the attention of the officers of the law to the mischiefs he would remedy. In this magnifieient service to the public every patriotic lawyer, every righteous ludge will bid him God speed. When this is done his duty ends, and the duty of the court and the counsel begins. Now. the conscientious journalist should take no other than a histori cal interest in the trial. He may not direct it, or control the result. It is inherently impossible that the force which brings the criminal to the bar ofjustice should also judge him. To dothisis to deprive justice of her most sovereign attribute. The blind god dess would be but a sorry journalist. The keen-eyed editor, although ho may’ command all the resources of wisdom and genius, of learning and energy, ran never perform the func tions of a critic. The attributes of justice are exclusively his own. I appeal to the strong intellect, the far-reaching sagacity of tho sense of right, the light of experience, all abundantly’the attributes of the great and patriotic men who give tone ami direction to the progress of journalism in America; say* if it be wise for temporary good to dissipate and dessroy the reverence and respect of the people for the administration of justice. If the judge be partial or corrupt, pillory him ; if the counsel be trucu lent or dishonest, flay 7 him alive. The law will be well rid of both. But in the name of alLtJie traditions of our raeo, in veneration of the memory of every martyr who for liberty’ has died upon the scaffold of the battlefield, for the preservation of our free and happy system Jof constitutional government, bro th ere n in blood with “Hampden and Sy’dney’, countrymen of Henry and Hamilton, of Adams and) Jefferson, of Franklin ?atid Marshall, and of Washington, beneficiaries with tho happy people of this happy land of the blessings of liberty tempered by law, preserve inviolate the adminis tration otjustice. Kindle anew at the altar of the constitution your devotion to its principles, and as you contemplate the sacred page, sink deep into your patriotic souls its imperished principles, perpetuating impartial justico to all, perpetuating freedom to all, save on conviction for crime alter a fair trial, with benefit of counsel, before an impar tial jury, and an independent judici ary 7. These destroyed, the fairest structure of government in the an nals of time will perish and decay. Preserved, our young but mighty republic day by’ day will take on the adding glories of a full-orbed civili zation, its people will rejoice in a power and happiness the world has never known, its instructions a durability 7 and perfection worthy the genius of America, and grateful to the beneficienl providence who brought us through the storm and out of the tempest, and indissoluble union of indestructible states.” It Fills the Bill, Pyhsicians,consumers, dealers and all proclaim Westmoreland’s Cali saya Tonic the best of all: Jonesvu.lk, S.

Northern, president of the Georgia State Agricultural society*, spent a few hours in the city* on his way* to Waycross, where he will attend the meeting of several hun dred representatives of the society* during the next thirty days. In answer to various questions concern ing the coming state fair, he gave the following information as gained in his recent travels through the state. While in Savannah all satis faction was gained in regard to freight and passenger rates on the Central railroad system. All exhibits will be passed free of charge, togeth er with their exhibitors. The pas senger rates will be lower than ever before, and accommodations perfect. The many different counties visited are fully* aroused and are active ly engaged at this date in preparing for the greatest state fair ever held, which will open here some time in October. The meetings in Waycross will be celebrated as the most harmo nious and enthusiastic farmers’ con vention ever held in this state. The deep depression of the low spirited farmers will be enlivened, and more honest endevors to win a prominent place in the agricultural world will be the mark to run for by all. Counties only* known by their name on the state map will be manifested by large displays, and thus the whole state, farmers and merchants, have awakened from their slumbers nearly* equal to old Rip's. Look out for a marvelous reality of an unheard of thing—a bona fide, genuine state fair. ■ —. An Avaricious Man. Why is an avaricious man like one with a short memory?

A TRaNS-IsTHlan railway ad vocated BY A COUNSEL. Pureto Baruos and La Union the Points Favorable for Termini—The Former Port Within Fifty Hours of Mobile—Advantages Which Would Accrue to this Country. A special says: The United States Consul at San Salvador has made a report to the department of state in regard to the railway system of Central America, in which ’’he urges the great importance of a trans-isthmian railway to the com merce of the “The great good,’’ he says, “which would result from the completion of a trans isthmian railway through Central America, from Puerto Barrios to La Union, consists, not so much in the tact that it will enable the traveling multitudes to cross the continent where narrowest, withoutS’possible danger from the deadly fevers and plagues incident to detention at sea level, but that with its branches it will'bind together the five Centra! American slates in perfect political and social unity,and accomplish their perfect commercial annexation to the United States. CLOSE TO MOBILE.’ “Puerto Barrios within fifty hours or less of .Mobile, ami only six hours would be required to transfer a trav eler or bale of goods from Mobile to tho*Paciiic coast harbor of Launcen. United {States and other steamers now pay from 820 to 830 a ton at Launcen for English or Australian coal. It may be delivered there from Alabama over a trans-isthmian rail way for from 85 to 87 a ton. There fore the government of the United States, as well as the people, must feel a keen interest in this short, easily built railway, which surely must accomplish most bencficicnt political and commercial results.” The Consul alludes to the prefer ences given by San Salvador and Guatemala to Americans in matters of franchises, and concludes his re port as follows: “The rapid multi plication of foundries, furnaces and forges in Alabama and other south ern states induced the writer to seek for the behoof of the commonwealth which is his home, an insatiable market for its products to be found alone along the western shores of the three Americas. From every trad ing place of as many as 2,000 or 3,000 inhabitants along this interminable coast railways will soon lead to the farms and villages of the interior. Twelve such railways are now build ing between the southern countries ol Chili and California. If a trans isthmian railway be speedily finished the iron and coal and steel of Eng land and Australia may be supplant ed everywhere on the Pacific by that produced in the United States!” THE PREACHER & THE SINGER. Spurgeon Says He is Not Acquainted With Emma Abbott. Nashville, Tenn., February th in an interview with a Memphis Avalanche representative in De cember, Miss Emma Abbott, among other things, said : “Among the best friends 1 have ever had are enrolled : Henry Ward Beecher, Dr. Chaplin, Dr. Talmage Dr. Swing and Mr. Spurgeon. I hese were not of the opinion that my profession carries with it danger to good morals.” When Bcv. W. A. Chandler saw this he sent a copy of the interview to Mr. Spurgeon and asked him re garding his being a friend to the stage. Mr. Spurgeon’s answer Las been recieved, and he says: “So far as I can charge my memory, 1 have never heard of Miss Abbott. I am decidedly of the opinion that the stage is the enemy of both morals and religion. It has not improved this lady’s truthfulness if she men tioned me as enrolled among her friends. She may be a very excel lent person, but I know nothing of her. Yours truly, C. H. Spurgeon.” Advantages of Thinking* To have learned to think, whether learned in schools or out of them, is to have attained the most valuable of all acquirements. Any system of instruction which does not" teach a man to think falls short of the best results. A man who has learned to think continually separates and combines, and lrom the scraps which lie gathers as he constructs. Mate rial is ever at his hand, and whether he is on a journey, in the shop, or the factory, his eye is ever observant and his senses alert. Having learn - how to acquire knowledge, he never finds himself anywhere that some thing does not appear which he wants to see, and having seen, will not sooner or later put to practical use. Having learned to think, he sends forth every moment freighted with some sort of effort. He has learned the “value of work as a means of happiness, and of a change of work as a means of rest, and idleness as neither necessary nor recreative. He can catch an idea on the wing, and an idea gained is a source of true happiness. Such a man does not easily weary, and it is late in life before he grows old. —Youth.

No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and uni versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of Health all over the world.

A pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume In each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Bchedler only proves what every observant consumer of tho Royal Baking- Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economi al, and, besides, affords the advant age of better work. A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder will convince any fair minded person of these facts. * While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree of strength than other powders ranked below them, it is not to be taken as indicat ing that they have any value.

Special to the Evening Journal. Washington, D. 0., Febuary 11.— For several successive days last week Messrs. Blount and Candler, and per haps one other member of the Geor gia delegation, made regular daily visits to the treasury department, but no amount of coaxing or persuasion could unveil the object of these visits, and the newspaper correspondents had about given up the matter in despair when a lucky incident dis covered that these periodical pilgrim ages meant no more or less than an effort on the part of these members to get the sum of 811,500 out of the national treasury and into the state treasury, which the stupidity of some state official or the negligence of the last legislature had lost to Georgia agricultural colleges. The journal shall be the first Geor gia newspaper to lay the particulars of this case before the public. It will be recalled that congress passed an act in March, 1887, making an appropriation 0f8585,000, or so much thereof as might be necessary, to he divided in equal sums cf' 815,000 among the several states and terri tories with which to aid and promote the principles of agricultural science, or, to put it more plainly, to further the efficiency of the several agricul tural colleges in the Union. The disbursement of this large sum was to be made by the secretary of the treasury, and the bili recites that it shall bo given to them in quarterly payments of 83,500, beginning on October 1, 1887, and thereafter on the first of January, April, June and October of each subsequent year. Under the provisions of the act it is further stipulated that “these grants of moneys are made subject to the legislative assent of the several states for the purpose of such grants, and that the payments of such in stallments as shall become due to any state before the adjournment of the regular session ofits legislative meet ing. next after the passage of this act. shall he made on the assent of the governor thereof duly certified by the secretary of the treasury.” It now appears that Governor Gordon promptly drew his requisi tion on the secretary of the treasury for the first installment of 83,500 due on October 1, 1887, and the same was honored, the legislature being then in session,but that body having adjourn ed without taking action to comply with the terms of the federal statute under which the state was to continue to receive the donation, the install ments due in January, April and June of the present year must tem porarily lapse into the national treas ury. This indeed is the decision of the first comptroller, to whom the question has just been submitted by the secretary, in response to the ap plication of Mr. Blount. It is known that the branch agri cultural college at Milledgeville is located in Mr. Blount’s district and the one at Dahlonega in Mr.Candler’s district,and the desire of these gentle men to have these over due payments sent down to Georgia for distribution has brought to the surface the vexa tious and complicated state of affairs. Important School Notice. r PHE attention of patrons and teachers of 1 public schools is called to the following points in the revised and amended school law, and to the instructions of the State School Commissioner in accordance there with. Ist, Schools must use the text hooks adopted by the County Hoard of Education. No pupil, who uses other books, will he allowed to receive the benefit of the public fund.
