PARIS, july ls.-La Lberte OF this
morning says: Neither France nor
Prussia have yet issued Il formal
proclamation or committed y technical
act Of war. Count Benedette and
Werthier withdrew Of their own nc
cord from Prussia"
This paper also c%ontradicts the re-
port that passports had been sent to
Count De Selnis, Charge d'Atfairs Of
the Prussian Legation, who, up to last
night, remained ut Paris, and explains
the fact as follows: "Count DE Selnis
declares that his Government does not
desire to begin war, and does not wish
to assume the responsibility and that
it still relies OIL the wisdom, concilia-
ton and spirit Of the Emperor. In
accordance with this view, he has been
instructed not to ask for his passports.
But If the Court ofthe Tuillerles chooses
to take the initiative and send him
passports, he will consider 1t an act Of
expulsion, aud will withdraw with the
entire Legation. This sitatial. how
ever cannot last long. Tue Chambers
expect to receive .to-Elorrow Il procla-
nation by the Emperor declaring war,
which Of course wtll put an end to all

The Ministry have submitted to the

ing the movement Of the troops and

thereofis punishable BY five thousand

published In the News yesterday, the
Intelligence from France and Prussia
concerning the supposedgreat war be-

bly, "simmered down." at least so far

The news of to-day, however, we do
not consider a true indication as to
what is going on by way of prepara-
ton for war. The real situation will
fully develop itself before long. We
believe that the news is suppressed by

A DISCUSSION has recently taken
place in Boston in reference to the cor
rect p~hraseology of the Declaration Of
independence. The printed Grafton
of MI. William Everett, delivered in
Boston on July 18th, 1870, gives sail
men are born free and equal" as the
leading principle Of the famous Decla-
ration, whereas that Instrument reads,
"all men are created equal" The
orator, however, asserts that / II his
spoken Grafton he made use Of the r
rect sentence. This mistake in the
printed copy Of the Grafton has caused
an investigation into the history Of the
sentiment, from which it appears that
the Virginia bill OF Rights drawn up
by George Mason. and adopted on
June 18th. 1916. contains the phrase
.all men are by nature equally free
and independent" In Jetferson's hrst
draft Of the Declaration the sentence
read "all men are created equal and
~saA
independent" The Declaration OF
Independence Of the following July
reads sail men are created equal
The declaration Of rights Of the inhab-
itants of Pennsylvania. passed by a
Convention, sitting from July 10Th to
September 2sth, l776. read: "aii men
are born equally free and ~indeperd-
ent." The Bill Of Rights Of Massa-
chusetts, drawn up by John Adams In
l77s, reads "all men are born free anu
equal" though the words as originally
reported by the committee were "all
men are born equally free and indie
pendent" From these authorities It
seems that George Mason's draft Of the
Virginia Bill Of Rights was the conf
mon source from which all the subse-
quent expressions were obtained. The
principle, however, can be traced to
much earlier writer's, including Locke
and Sydney, and, according to Sir
Robert Filmer to Cardinal Bellarmin,
who lived between l63 and 1921.

HoRarBI.E TRADE.-"M Making away
with infant children Is beyond all
doubt n regular trade in England, as
it possibly is in some of our own cities.
A woman was recently arrested in
London. and put under examination
In the Lambeth Police Court, charged
with starving an infant to death,
During the examination 1t gradually
came out that this woman, who had q
multitude of names. the chief Of which
were Waters" and SOLVER" was In
the practice of advertising for children
''to adopt" but only wanted a child
that was very young, so that 1t would
.snever know any other mother" than
herself. On receiving an answer to
her advertisement she would appoint
a meeting at 4 railway station, where
she would receive the baby and $25,
and "no questions asked" on either
side. Us to where the baby came from
and where 1t was to 60. In this way
she got possession of forty infants In
the last four gears. She took them to
a wretched place, where they were fed
chiefly on "Paregoric Elixir" for a
short time, and then she would take
them away at night, telling her servant
that she was taking them home."
The home she took them to is best eX-
planned by stating that near the house
Of this fendish wretch were some
vacant grounds in 4 secluded place,
and that In the months of March, April
and May of this year. the bodies Of
seven infants were found under hedges
aud other out-of-the-way places, bun
died up In rags, paper parcels, ETC.
The mother OF one Of these murdered
children was In Court, and produced q
receipt given her by the prisoner fol
four pounds $50, containing the
promise to adopt the infant entirely as
her own child, and always to ''strictly
study Its present and future happiness
It Is difficult to believe that:such a hor'
rlble trade can exist, or that such
monsters can live In a civilized coun'
try. But here are the facts, as devel
oped in an English police court.
