often the case that a murderer money or his friends 4 and influence save his neck. Of course it isTight that jurisprudence should recognize degrees in murder as in every thing but if we can't convict a man of murder in the first degree, we ought to repeal our law which authorizes hanging.

5 The Carolinian office -waft nearly destroyed by fire on Monday night The fire originated in an old eloset under the, steps, in the editorial office, where a pile of old papers had been thrown. The cause of the blaze was evidently due to a xat, and a match. The i gained considerable headway, and the work of putting' 'out, the fire "was- Tather difficult as it was quite hard to locate the exact position v' of the flames.

The firemen did excellent work and jbut for their united efforts great damage might have resulted. A large crowd gathered at the Bound of the alarm and as the smoke was quie dense it looked as though a big blaze was likely. The Carolinian subscription books, advertising books and contracts were all saved, and though the paper will miss the issue of the present week, the editor Mr. Mit- vv hell, informed reporter that the paper would in no-wise pub- ligation; but- on the other hand would be the equal if not the su-perior of its old self. The Carolinian carried sufficient insurance to cover its losses, which are under $300, according to Mr.

Mitchell. The type suffered a drenching, which may damage it to some extent, and the general havoc, possi- Wy lost a portion of the type. The type cases and office furniture, books were considerably damaged. The building was owned by the Dr. Paleman John estate, and the loss, at a guess, must be $500.

The music school property was also damaged considerably. However everything was fairly well insured. Perhaps the Carolinian suffered the greatest inconvenience, and the editor was no little disturbed, 'as every preperation had been made to leave the citj on the early morning train on an important, Washington trip.

We have yet to hear an 'expression other than one of disgust over the result of the trial.

If the object of the trial was to convict and punish the slayer-of Wilson, then it was cTear akin to a farce; if it was to free Bishop regardless, then it came about as near being a success as could be expected."

But some one may say that custom has made it creditable for man' to do those things' and for no women but these of very low character to do them.

That is true in the eyes of those1 who Wish to excuse themselves own morality, but will that that same man feel willing for us to say that his character must be measured up by that very low-class of women whose social equal he has made himself by his own visits to their social resorts? Think of it gentlemen and if you wish to reply, tho editor will doubtless give you space. Can a young mau feel that he has an moral right to visit a place and engage in a practice where' he would not feel justifiable in publicly taking his best girl or his own dear sister, and in visiting her to partake with him? We say that it is a violation of every principle of real manhood to do such things, and yet if young men in our. day were to see their best girl visiting places which they frequent and engaging in practices in which they engage they would discountenance them forever. Why should the character of woman be more tender and pure than the character of man? Is there a woman who stands on djgnity of a good moral character who would be willing to enter into a covenant for 'life with a man whose character is degraded so low as to make him the common associate of drunkards and harlots; If so, let that lady answer through Jhe columns of this paper. pha.se so.
