Some Of the best advocates of the cause al
init that what is known as the women's rights
movement has suffered its most grievous
wounds in the house of Its friends. The alb
surd suggestions and the absurder conduct OF

that the questions which IL presents are too
serious TO be laughed out Of sight. Mrs. Blake

Foolish Military Martinets.
Newark Register.

The evidence taken in the case OF Gen. Drake,
charged with "hurrahing for Arthur" when
the announcement was made that President
Garfield had been shot by Guiteau, was sub
mitted 10 the Supreme Court yesterday. II
was IN evidence that he did "hurrah," but
"with no bad Intention" The whole case Is
an example OF what military martinets can
and VIII do to make something out Of nothing.
Drake may have been very foolish, and we are
inclined TO think that he was; but that he
sympathzed then, or that he sympathizes
now with assassination, the least particle more
than the members OF the court that tried him,

THE subject of forfeited land grants is
evidently being very maturely pondered by
the House Judiciary Committee. Com
mittees are sometimes apt to ponder such
subjects quite too maturely. Great cor
porations frequently find means to impress
legislators with the disastrous tendencies of
undue haste in matters of this sort.

The EXPOSE by The CRITIC of the treat
ment Sergeant Mason has received at the
hands of his superior officers since he fired
his well.intentioned, but unfortunate, shot
at the wretched assassin Guiteau, has
stirred those epauletted gentlemen up. The
fact is it looks to civilian as if Sergeant
Mason is deserving at least of as humane
treatment as Guiteau. He has not re-
ceived it. For one hundred and sixty days
he has been confined in dirty cell, with
out windows or proper ventilation, its only
light coming through skylight, next to
a water-closet, with its foul odors. The
unfortunate mans spirits and health are
depressed, and be has pathetically declared
that he would vastly prefer to pass one
hundred and sixty months in jail than one
hundred and sixty days more in the filthy
cell he has SO long occupied. Sergeant
Mason is unreasonable. He should
recollect that he has not as
sassinated President of the
United States that he should be kept in a
dry, sweet, comfortable cell, fed on the fat
of the land, allowed to hold levees, sell his
photographs, open an Office to do business
in, receive visits from weak-minded
females and demented males. He should
have killed somebody and he would have
been regarded as hero by silly women,
who would have sent him flowers and sat
up with him praying for him. He must
remember that he only tried to carry out
the will of the American people that the
assassin must die, at a time when ii was
feared that he would escape the punish
ment he deserved. Let Sergeant Mason be
thankful that he has not been confined in
irons, or daily bueked and gagged, or tied
up by the thumbs. all in the Interest of
good order and military discipline. The
fact that the foul water-closet has now been
removed, the place whitewashed and gem
orally made more decent and comfortable
does not relieve the commandant Of the
charge Of misusing man unconyicted of
any crime. On the contrary, this eleventh
hour virtue is a confession of Judgment.
