regenerating influences. 1t has prospered,
from material point of view, since the sub
sidence of partisan divisions, but from a NOR
al stand point its course has been retrogres-
sive. A quarter of a century ago the editor
who gave place in his columns to such in
decencies as are now common in at least two
OF the metropolitan dailies, would have been
kicked, cuffed, and cowhided, and if he proved
impervious to these curative measures, the
chances are he would have finally reached
the penitentiary. Nowadays, the people
seem to have grown callous to the most glar-
ing outrages upon the sanctity of private life,
or the considerations due to official station.
Long impunity has emboldened the trans
gressor, and weakened the moral sense of the
community to such a degree that the most
indecent utterances escape Reproduction. The
public appetite for scandal has been unhealth-
fully stimulated. .N
1t is high time that there should be a check
put to the increasing license of that class Of
newspapers which fatten on this morbid
taste. They ought to be Stunned by respect
able readers. They are sapping the integrity
of the rising generation, inspiring danger
GUS familiarity with things that are evil, and
helping in so far as they have any influence,
to weaken popular faith in the superiority OF
our form Of government over every other
known to mankind.

ELECTIONS IN GREAT BRITANNIA general
election in England takes place in this way:
Parliament is dissolved by proclamation under
the great seal, by the advice of the Privy Coun
Gil, the Lord Chancellors of Great Britain and
of Ireland respectively being ordered to issue
election writs, returnabe on certain day.
These writs, each under the great seal, are adj
dressed to the sheriffs of counties, both for
counties and boroughs, and are the authority
for holding the elections, the sheriff, in the
cases of boroughs, issuing his precept to the
returning officer to hold the election. The
names of the persons elected are returned by
the sheriff to the Clerk of the Crown, who
makes out from them a list of the members of
the new house of Commons.
