mention of very ugly bit of unpleasantness
that came between Senator's Conklng and
Burnside, during an executive session OF the
Senate. The trouble arose out Of the discus

President, whose name was up for
confirmation. Conkling charged Burnside
with trickcry in committee. Burnside said the
statement was incorrect Conkling then re
peated his assertions, and appealed to Sen
ators to sustain him. At this Spencer
jumped up and declared that Conkling
was stating the truth. Burnside by this

excitement, and gave Conkling the lie direct,

One of the most deplorable fea-
lures Of the business OF those who
engage in the circulation OF vicious
and obscene literature is the fact
that they find their patrons among
the youth Of the country. Ii u
seminary issues a list Of its pupils,
the list Is very soon in the hands OF
these wicked men and tho parties
whose names are given are soon sup
piled with circulars. In other cases
they advertise that any boy or girl
who will send them the names OF
ten, fifteen or twenty oftheir young
sch Jol companions will have sent n
pack of visiting cards with the ad-
dress upod them. In this way
thousands Of names are furnished
and circulars ssnt. Institutions Of
learning have been warned not to
print the names of their students,
but they still continue to do 1t, and
thus furnish the means to aid
these harpies upon society. Few
parents would believe that their
sons and daughters were in
possession of such "literature," but
the Society for the Suppression OF
Vice state that in one public school
Of country village it was found
that one-third of the girl pupils un-
der fourteen years of age had OBJ
scene matter in their possession,
and the contamination had been
disseminated by them to the girls
of two other public schools. In one
block of the city of Boston, where
four brown-stons houses. occupied
by five families, stood in a row, it
was fOu nd that the children Of four
families In three of the houses had
similar matter in their possession.
In twenty three Institutions of
learning the foulest kind % books
and pictures were found in posses
sion of the students. And in every
instance the parents and teachers
were unaware of what was happen
ing under their eyes. What a ter
rible picture is here presented, and
how careful every parent ought to
be that their children are free from
the influence of this terrible plague.
No sentence, however severe, is too
great a punishment for those who
engage in this terrible business.
