LYING REPORTS.

It is difficult to understand for what
purpose the recent lying reports about
suits against the Central Pacific Railroad
on the Part Of the United States Govern
ment, have been set aAoat 1t is, how.
ever, proper TO call attention to the fact
that Commissioner French has denied the
statements made in regard to the matter,
in the most comprehensive way. lie says
that the Government has not commenced
any suits OF the kind in San Francisco or
elsewhere, and that it has no intention of
doing SO. That as to the report about
withdrawing or canceling the lease Of the
Southern Pacific, it is sheer nonsense, the
Government not having subsidized that
road at all and that the other statements
recently telegraphed about disagreements
between the Government and the Cen.
trail Pacific are equally without
foundation. As certain journals have
already used these false statements as texts
for diatribes against the corporation, they
will now, if they are honest, make as full
a showing Of the denial as they did of the
assertion. The strong presumption is
that all these slanderous rumors are put in
circulation in the interest of rival routes.
1t is a kind of business which has been
tried before, however, and it is pretty well
understood. 1t will not effect anything in
the long run except to insure the exposure
Of the rognes who are responsible, and
tins to convince the public that they are
undeserving of confidence, and in fact mere
frauds and blackmailers.

THE WATERFORD ORDINANCE.

The State Supreme Court has rendered
decision declaring the so-called waiter-girl
ordinance unconstitutional, on the ground
that it is in contravention of Section is,
Article MIL, of the organic law, which
provides that ''no person shall, on account
"of sex, be disqualified from entering
"upon or pursuing any lawful business,
vocation or profession. As matter OF
course if the keeping of night houses is a
lawful business, girls cannot, under this
provision, be prohibited from serving in
them, and neither municipal ordinance
nor State law can effect the end sought.
The question whether the business itself is
immoral in its tendencies does not enter
into consideration here. Whether it is or
not cannot be taken into account, so long
as it is not unlawful. The Constitution
has put women upon level with men in
regard to the choice of occupation, and
neither the Legislature nor municipalities
can evade its plain and mandatory provi-
SION We are satisfied that the position
of the Supreme Court is sound, and
that thus one more OF the latent beauties
of the new Constitution has been brought
to light. But though the Constitution
thus protects the waiter-girl business SO
long as ii is lawful, it does not in any way
estop the Legislature from declaring it I'M
lawful on other grounds. II, for example,
it were enacted that it should be unlawful
for persons of either sex to serve in these
places, the constitutional inhibition would
be overcome. All that it iorbids is dis
elimination against women. Make the
prohibition indiscriminate, and there can

ougEg gnroLoaIcAL STUDENTS.

That is a curious case OF the two theo-
logical students at Lawrence, Mass, who
went into the business of burglary and
possible murder SO deliberately, and one OF
whom was shot and killed while attempt
ing to rob house. According to the con-
fession of the survivor, this estimable pair
had robbed the same house six months pre-
viously, and knowing that the owner had
about SO. 600 on the premises, they de-
termined to get it, if necessary killing him
to obtain it. As it happened, one of them
was killed instead. What did they pro-
pose to do with this money? Perhaps they
were going to build churches or endow
theological professorships at Andover. 1t
is limited that they had committed sew
eral other robberies, aud it really looks
as though they had become almost pro-
fessionals in that line of business. Did
their peculiar ideas as to the
sanctity of property never interfere with
their religious studies, we wonder? Very
probably not There is case on record Of
a man who committed wanton murder
for ten cents, and having done it he refused
to eat some meat which he had found on
his victim, because it acas Friday. His re-
lgion had not prevented him from becom-
ing murderer, but it at least saved him
from the awful crime of eating meat on a
Friday. It would be easy to cite many in
stances of the same kind, no doubt. The
marauding theological students evidently
mistook their vocation but had they not
been found out it is quite possible that,
unless they had been very successful in
their burglaries, they might have proceeded
with their studies to the end.

TOO muca nRoRIogoo1A-eaA BUSINESS.

A proposal has been made to take up
collections at the local revival meetings
for the relief of the victims of the earth
quake at Scio. At the same time that our
local religionists are thus straining their
eyes abroad in search of foreign subjects of
charity, the news ia received that not less
than eight thousand American men, women
and children have been rendered homeless
and destitute by the great ice-gorge at
Yankton, Dakota Territory It will be
remembered that Mrs Jellyby, in "Bleak
House, was so devoted to the African
Mission Of Borioboola Cha that she never
could find time to bring up her own chill
dren or makeahome for herown husband. 1t
isvery doubtful whether there ever is a time
when abundant opportunities for the exer-
else Of charity within the confines of the
United States cannot be found, but some
how there are always people who appear to
think that foreigners have special and
peculiar claims upon their bounty, and that
there is no need Of benevolence at home.
The old saying that Charity begins at
home" has seldom been borne out in
practice. Everywhere there are found
societies for the relief of distant heather,
or of people who have fallen into difficult
ties in some other quarter of the globe
yet, while so much philanthropy Is being
poured out upon strangers, it is not seldom
very difficult to get anything done for
sufferers only few miles away. II there
is any spare cash in this community, and
II 1t Is felt necessary to bestow it for the
relief Of any portion of our fellow men, it
cannot be questioned that the claims OF
the Yankton sufferers are stronger than
those of the people of Scio. No doubt it
would be a delightful thing to be able to
assist all WHO are in need OF aid and
sympathy, without regard to race or faith
or country. But seeing that our means
are necessarily limited, 1t would seem the
veriest common sense Of the situation to
reserve il Tor our immediate fellow. citizens.
As for Seio, it has all Europe to look to for
help, and it viii doubtless obtain abundant
relief speedily. 1t does not therefore,
need orr mite, but the poor people at
Yankton 60, and them it may benefit
materially Acharitable spirit is excellent,
but it is not commendable to exercise it
without discrimination.
