a FARCE.
The Arkansas Bribery Investigation
What the Press of the state Has
to Say AbOuCIE.

Little Rock Gazette: The general opinion
OF the press of the State, SO far as we have
been able to ascertain, is that the resolution
of the house In regard to the bribery investi-
CATION was ridiculous farce. 1t generates
the two men upon whom public opinion had
most strongly fastened suspicion, and indi-
rectly censutes everybody else. It cleared
Furbush and inculpated Dawson; it exoner-
ated HolIfeld and was silent as to Lee; it said
that brides had been offered but failed to say
who had offered them; it said that those two
precious pinks of perfection and paragons of
virtue, Hoi6eld and Furbush, had been
tempted with offers of brides, but failed to
say whether or not they had cut themselves
in position to be tempted. Ia this respect
the house reversed the more manly and dig
nifed action of the Kansas legislature, who
resolved that several OF their members had
been offered bribes, but they deserved the
censure OF the house, and the condemnation
of their constituents, for having, by their
conduct and actions, courted and invited the
temptation and passvey submitted to such
indignities and insults. According to their
own testimony, Furbush and Hoifeld should
have been expelled 1nstenter on the publica
ton of their statements. Instead of that
they were exonerated. What farce!'

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.
The Effect OF Legal EnRetments on the
Subject-What the Wise Humboldt
says About 1t-Don't Employ
Lying Detectives.

Pniladelih Record, March 18th: 1.-The law
now before the Legislature proposing more
severe penalties TO- violation OF the Sunday
law Of 1884 Is deserving only of summary de-
feat. A class OF supremacy moral people APP
parentiy conceive that the world can be made
good through the enactment of inuumerable
statutes prescribing modes and forms of pun
IsAments for IntraCtions of the moral law
| They would have an elaborate code of ethics
OF their own prescription injected into the
statutory law. The mistake these oVer-wise
persons make Is IN suppospg that Law can
successfully take cOgnlz4hce OF moral delin-
qqencles that only affect the welfare of
society n remote manner. The principle
that should hold in the regulation of society
by statute has been stated by Humboldt
to be this: All those acts and offenses
which go to lDJure society directly can
| aud should be prohibited by law; but all acts
whose deleterioUs Influence is only indirect
must be dealt with ouly by moral sussion
| Ihls IS practical wisdom, and all departures
therstrOm are sure to result IN harm rather
than good. Were facts Obtainabie for COM
parIsOa, we feel certain that it would be
found that the cause of temperance has suf-
tered lnconceIvable injury through the enact
ment OF prOhlOltOry statutes. In respect to
the use Of intoxicating drinks, the true policy
is TO acknowledge the existence of an uncon-
| trollabe desire for stimulauts, and seek to
regulate, not to prevent the evil. as the
fSS'ASAC-
thing should be said in regard to the OBJ
sergance of the Sabbath. 1t is ridiculous and
absurd for few moral philosophers to set
up standard in regard to the seventh
day of the week, commonly called Sun
day, and demand that their fellows shall
conform to it. II 4 man concaIves il to be his
interest to visit libraries and art galleries,
or even to angle for trout IN some shady
nook on Sunday, we hold that ne cannot be
justly lnterlered with SO long as the manner
Of pursuing his peculiar kinds Of pleasure
does not disturb his neighbors' peace ard
quiet. The worthy men who seek additional
legislation for the purpose of keeping people
moral would do better to bend their energies
toward securing better enforcement of the
laws already o. the statute book. They
shonid, first Of all, learn this valuable lesson.
Vast lojury must necessarily result from max
log laws which are bound TO be dead letters.
The result of such laundering by over. jealous
legislators IS to sensibly weakeI the peop'e's
respect for the forms and conclusions of law. |
We therefore beg the seif-appointed friends
Of the Sabbath 10 desist, lest they oveIdo the |
thing and cause the Sunday laws to be more
OF burlesque and satire than they now are"

IN a THOUSAND xEAR s-wnATg

When we regard the progress Of discovery
and invention, and think Of The possibility
that, at some future day, discoveries may be
made as important as that of Galvanl from
whi,h come or teegraphs and electric lights,
and Inventions as immense as that of the
steam engines; that new facts will have been
gained from the luminaries of the sky, from
geographical research laying bare every nook

should find man an immensely superior eng
compared with the species as we now know
it-that he would be surrounded with thou
sand cOBveniences Of which we now have no
knowledge; that the resources o. science, as
science will then be known, will have rem
deTed him independent Of many irflu-
ences to which men are now doomed
to submit, and have surrounded him
with appliances that will increase the low OF
existence and the comfort of life, while |
knowledge, wide and profound to an extent |
we cannot conceive, viii exalt his whole be |
ing by expanding bis intellect and bringing |
into play the sublimes5 powers of his soul. |
The sum Of such reflections commonly is.
that they who live q thousand years after US
will be almost infinitely beyond US in their

without we'll knowing how to make the most
of it; the future has the knowledge and the
skill to use the material to the utmost advan-
tage, but ne Is embarrassed from its scarcity.
