PRECEDENT AGAINST MISUSE OF Pos
tai CARDS. "A person was recently con-
Victed in London of "a gross, vile and
most atrocious libel" ON his own niece, by
sending her postal card containing an ac-
cusation of immoral conduct, for which he
was sentenced to two years imprisonment
and fine Of two hundred and fifty dollars.
The young woman was one of eleven chill
drcn, and at the time, ON account of the
ill-health OF her father, was supporting
herself by working in respectable re-
treatment room. The uncle had written
her an ordinary letter on the subject, and
aftcrward sent her the postal card, thus
maliciously and cruelty conveying TO her
associates and employers his own unjust
suspicious. The result was that the girl
lost her place, was brought into discsteem,
and if the charge had been true, would
have been prevented ever from associatng
with honest women. The Judge who
passed the sentence compared the act OF
the prisoner to robbery with needless yo-
lence, and regretted that the law did not
permit him to order the rascal to he logged.

GovERNMENr RAlLRoADs.-Th expert
mcnt of running railroads by government
agency has not proved successful in Can
ada EXPENSES exceed the income, and in
creased taxation is likely to ensue. In
Nova Scotia last year the expenses of the
several lines showed an actual loss to the
government of $10,4S3. In New Bruins
wick the profits We're S6S,242. In other
words, on an investment of Sl2, ZOO, 900.
the government realized the scanty sum of
$51 ,7G0. Yet the people of Canada, I'M
dismayed by the prospect, have authorized
the Canada Pacific Company to eXpcnd
$3.50, 900 for new intcr-colonial rail-
road Astonishing as it may seem, the
Canadians believe that railroads ought to
be run, primarily, for the accommodation
of the public, and not to make money.
This novel idea has not reached our railroad
magnates. No courtier has ventured TO
suggest it to King Tom Scott or Commo-
dorc Vanderbilt. Its mention would para
lyzc their intellect, and leave them as be-
wildered as was Louis XIV. when told that
the people of France were not created for
his pleasure, but that he lived to govern
them with justice

to hear the arguments of Rev. r. De Witt

The expulsion of the Bible would decide
that great multitude of children should
have no religious culture. The Bible in

schools there ne would be nothing short
of dishonorng the Almighty. Common
school education said the preachers, is Il
creation of Professionalism 1t is stated that
the Catholics will at some time demand a
portion of the public funds for their schools.
1t would be better to let the public funds
go to them, and have the common schools

the charity of the Christian church, than
that the Bible should he taken from the

Bhc heidelberg pueIIiup Corps

The Constant Observer says: "All Wis
itOrs 10 Heidelberg must feel more or less
interest in the famous duclling corps eX-
listing there. These corps date their origin
almost rs far back as the foundations of
the Universities of the Elcctor Rupert l.
in the year 1886. They were at first com
posed Of all the best and noblCst among
the students, now, however, they no longer
hold the rank the once did but are looked
ON, even by some of their members, as
necessary evils, on the keeping up of which
the general honor of heidelberg in some
remote way depends. Many strange Gus
toms are prevalent among their members,
not the least curious of which, is the way
the funeral rites of any OF their numbers
at the university are celebrated. The tu-
neral takes place at night by the light Of
torches. The coffin, ON which is placed
the cap and swords of the deceased, Is
drawn on low bier by four horses. I'M
mediatcly after the body walk the mem
hers of the corps to which the deceased
belonged, bearing torches, and followed by
representatives from each of the other corps.
On reaching the burial ground which is Sit
ualcd at a short distance from the town. Il
'choralc' is sung by the whole company,
but no sooner is the coffin lowered into the
grave, than the hymn is changed into one
of the noisy drinking songs in which these
students excel. Without any religious Ger
cmony the grave is closed and the cortcgc
marches back to the town where they again
halt ON the Univcrstuts- Platz. and form
into a large circle Two of the best
swordsmen then go through the sword cX-
ercisc, after which, with loud shout, all
the torches are thrown high in the air, so
that they fall together in a burning pile in
the centre of the circle. The ceremony
thus brought to a close, the corps retire to
their respective places of rendezvous, in
one OF the numerous taverns in the town,
and the rest Of the night is passed in car
ousing and merry-makng.

PROGRESSIVE PUBLIC SENTI
MENT

The position taken by the country on the
salary increase by the last session of Con
gress is evidence of the advance made by
public sentiment, and of the general pro-
gression towards more refined and elevated
standard Of morality.
1t is matter for strong congratulation
that this idea of moral elevation is growing
into politics, Five times Congress has
raised its own salary and each time made it
apply to the current Congress, and there
was nothing said by the people on the sub
ject, until the experiment of last winter,
when the whole country was swept by Il
tempest of Indignation.
Several circumstances contributed to this
result. After years of unobservcd moving
forward by the nation, like an army silent
ly marching in the night, presidential
tempt was made to form II party based
partly ON political purity us one of the
planks of its platform There was, il is
true, really no contest on this point. Each
party claimed superior purity to the other.
But amidst the contest as to the fact wheth-
er there wal purity in one party than
in the other ,Nth11 principles, that purity
ought to prevail inpolitics, and that legis-
lation should be unAfsh, were accepted as
axioms, and at the Conclusion of the con
test they glowed with the light thrown up
on them by the comments of the newspaper
press on both sides. Both parties became
pledged to unselfsh and economical legis-
lation. Such legislation was admitted on
all hands to be needed, for we had an enor.

correspondingly heavy. These were the
points to which an already progressing pub
lie sentiment had advanced, when ON tho

RUTLAND DAILY AND WEEKLY
l.IOUIE.

Impressed with the growing importance
of Rutland as the business center of Il large
section of country, rich in its agricultural
and mineral possessions, and recognizing
the fact that at the present time, especially,
the material interests of this community
Gull loudly for help and encouragement, we
venture, humbly, yet confidently, to offer
to the public the Rutland Daily and Week
~ GLOBE, in the hope and in the belief that
through this medium these interests may
I've advanced and the general prosperity pro-
NOTED.
In entering upon this enterprise the pub
fishers huvc no desire to charge with inca
pacity or neglect of duty those who have
gone before them, or who remain in the
field to labor with them, but would simply
say that there seems Groom and verge
enough" for all to act with one accord in
advancing the general interests of the State
and country.
In It's politics the GLOBE will ever be the
consistent advocate of Republican princi-
ples-will heartily support the present adj
ministration in all its proper and Legitimate
acts and yet it will he outspokcn in dis
cussion-indcpcndcnt in its criticisms
never becoming the subscrvicnt tool of any
clique or party rs against the best interests
of the country. and entertaining the belief
that in a Republic all power should rest
with the people. it will at all times lend its
aid to the support of such measures Of pol
icy II, shall best subscrvc the interests and
protect the rights of all, ..-
Able editors. reporters and contributors
have bcch employed for the various depart
mcnts of journalism. and it is the dctcrmi-
nation Of the publishers to make the GLOBE

attention will be devoted to the promotion
and fostering Of the material interests OF
Rutland County, Western Vermont and

now when say that | cannot cross the

one thing to degrade ~ self nor disgrace
you. shall not make any appeal to anoth-
er country to do what you can and ought
to do. There are two brothers here to-
night who have received offers from Amer
