INTOLERANCE.

We are told that at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, on
Sunday night O'Connor, an ex-priest,
attempted to lecture on church topics
that a mob of l,5O0 people assembled.
stoned the speaker, threatened him with
tar and feathers, and broke up the meet
ing, and that of the three daily papers in
the place, while the affair occasioned in
tense excitement, not one has had the cour-
age to publish the names of any of the
rioters, or to set forth the particulars of
the ARRAY. The only arrest made by the
police was that of the lecturer. 1t scarcely
seems possible that the right of free speech
can be so in suppression in any American
city. or that, in this enlightened day and
in this republic, such manifestations of in
tolerance can go unrebuked and unpun.
ished in any community. GAINESVILLE stands
before the nation to-day disgraced, and
nothing she can now do will rub out the
stain of her shame.

PUBLIC sw1EnLgRs.

Swindlers abound and prosper who seek
to make the United States mails the me.
dunn for perpetrating frauds. The postal
authorities publish monthly list of per.
SONS and firms conducting schemes to de-
fraud. For all such, mail matter of every
description is refused. The December list
of these frauds" as the Postmaster.
General boldly denominates them, de-
scribes 29S persons, firms and companies.
All these swindlers adroitly advertise their
schemes or goods. Such alluring bats
cover their hooks that it is small wonder
the rascally anglers catch the unwary.
Generally these fellows call for SO small
sum to be forwarded, and promise such
rich returns, that even if suspicion is
awakened by the i5erality of the offer,
many incur the risk to satisfy their curl
osity. But large number of the pro.
scribed demand heavier investments, and
promise proportionally marvellous rewards
The postal statistics disclose that the PEG.
pie are robbed by these advertising frauds
of an exceedingly large sum annually. It
is scarcely possible to provide any ade-
quase means for the protection of the in.
cautious in this regard. All that the press
can do is to utter its warning against all
kinds and classes of advertisements prom
Using very much for very little and to di.
rect attention to the fact that the charac.
ter OF the journal in which these traps are
set will very frequently give key to the
character of the scheme announced, as the
more reputable journals now exercise
censorship over their advertising columns
in this respect.

A powsRLEss BOARD.

The report Of the State Board of Health
is an interesting one. Whoever peruses it
must conclude that this important body
lacks power. By knowledge and expert
encs it is fully qualified, but it has no
authority to put into practical operation
such sanitary and other regulations as are
necessary to secure desirable results. Not
long ago the Board found itself powerless
to enforce necessary measures to check the
incoming of contagious and loathsome
disease at the State line. 1t appealed to
the Executive to exercise extraordinary
powers, and the request was complied
with to secure the desired end, but it was
done without full warrant OF law. Men
do not live to take care of their health,
but take care of their health to live, and
this should be the rule Of action for the
community. Bat without an effective
State Board Of Health no general public
progress in sanitary reforms can be made.
The Board should not only be our mentor
in these matters, but occupy much the
position of guardian. AT present it is
little more than statistical and advisory
bureau, giving advice no one is under OBJ
legation to respect. 1t should be invested
with some executive vigor. The organic
Act of tie body is sufficient as to its con-
stituticn, but that should be supplemented
with positive powers. Trust, in these
matters, must be reposed somewhere, and
it is better placed in a State Board than
elsewhere. Bills are already pending to
give the body adequate authority in sew.
eral directions, one being as to examina.
tions for color blindness among those
whose vacations place them in charge of
the lives of human beings another con-
Germs the matter of vaccination, and still
another confers the power to protect the
State from the immigration of pestilence.
Certainly such reasonable powers as the
Board asks to be invested with should be
granted to it.

A CoMETIc THEORY.

Igratius Donnelly, whose atlantis
attracted deserved attention, for the in
genuity of his argument and his remarka-
BILE array of authorities as proofs in support
of the theory Of sunken continent, is out
in new work on the age of "Fire and
Gravel, in which, reasoning from the facts
adduced, he satisfies himself that the $50
called Glacial Age" really represents a
collision between the earth and some one of
the many wandering luminaries of space.
He holds that there was not alone one, but
many of these collisions, repeated at dis.
tsnt intervals. Without entering into
controversy on that subject, it may be said
that this is crumb of comfort to timid
souls. A great proportion of mankind still
regard comets with terror, and as foe to
all things mundane. Even our author con.
siders their cratic behavior sufficient
apology for fear /; but he also maintains
that they are agencies in a great evolution.

TRIVIAL REFORM.

Mr.. Perry's bill to amend the Act regu,
lating the government of State Prisons,
requires all convicts under twenty.one
years of age to be confined and kept sepa.
rate and apart from those over that age,
and that I" first termers" shall be sepa.
rated from those confined for second or
further term of imprisonment. This is
impracticable as our prisons are now con.
structed. Even if practicable, it moves
upon false theory. Age is not the proper
standard by which to distinguish tyros in
crime from hardened offenders. Such
patchwork efforts to correct our prison
system can effect nothing, and will not
advance reformatory measures.

STEEL vs.. IRON RAILs.-The gradual
disuse of iron rail is shown by the fact
that in the last few months this country
has entirely ceased to import them from
Great Britain, and that in the eight months
ending with August there was decrease
in their expectation from England of l64
per cent. The steel exports, however, in
the same length of time, increased from
339. CSC to 505 OH tons. Our own rolling
mills are also turning out much larger
proportion of steel rails. The mills at
Pueblo, Colorado, are fitted up for making
steel rails only, of which they turn out
about 1000 per day.
