A PRIVILEGED CLASS.

The question whether reporter can
properly be compelled to divulge the
source of information received by him
under pledge of secrecy has just been
decided in Boston. Two reporters, Frost
and Saunders, OF the Boston Globe, OBJ
tanned information OF an important con-
fession of murder made by one Boston
ian 10 another in New Mexico, though
the crime was committed In Boston.
Judge Blodgett held that the pledge
privileged the witnesses from testifying
before the Grand jury. In discussing
this matter, the Chicago Inter Ocean
says:
In Paris, and in Boston, the question is
simultaneously brought before the courts
whether reporters of newspapers can be
legally compelled 10 divulge as witnesses IN
courts the sources of the information which
they obtain for publication under a pledge
of secrecy as 10 such sources In Paris
the question arises IN the Criminal Court
ia consequence of the finding by the magis-
trate, NJ. Benoist, of the entire body of
reporters of the Paris journals who re-
fused To state whence they obtained accounts
of secret socialist meetings which the police
authorities were chagrined at finding that
the reporters could ferret out better than the
police. The Paris reporters pleaded that in
formation given to them for publication
under pledge of secrecy as to its source was
privileged. Though not mentioned in any
constitution or statute, they likened it to the
case of confession made to priest, which
is expressly privileged by the constitution.
Appeal has been taken from NJ. Benoist To
the Appellate Court.
There is as abundant reason why the
reporter should be privileged as well as
the priest, or the physician. He owes q
duty to the public which sometimes NO
cessitates pledge OF secrecy as to the
source OF his information. The fact that
he cannot be compelled to reveal the
source of his knowledge may often be a
material aid to him in the performance of
his duty, and the courts should protect
him.

Philadelphia Times: Conkling's key

torial shoes are kept.
Philadelphia Record: Have our eyes
deceived us? or is there the shadow OF a
shade passing athwart the effulgence Of

Lowell Journal: President Arthur
will retire from the Presidential chair
with more OF the popular heart going out
toward him than ever before. He has
given the country good administration
without the aid of brass band.
Toledo Commercial Telegram: In most
places there are few Democrats who do
not intend to apply for office under Cleve-
land; but in Columbus they take in all
that part of the city directory which lies
outside the asylums and penitentiary.

Three-Year-Old Tot, the Boss Girl OF the

A little girl lay curled up in the reai
corner of Fulton avenue car, fast asleep
She had on pink apron, with a white
dress underneath, that came almost down

One of her fat hands lay loosely beside
her. while the other wandered dreamily
toward fly that was walking up and dowr
her nose.
The conductor turned down the lamp
above the baby's head, and shooed away
the fly. When anybody looked admiring
ly at the baby he looked as proud as
though he were in her place, and when Q
colorsd woman got in and put very black
baby, also asleep, in the other corner, the
conductor went in and told her all about
the white taby.
"That's my GIRL" said he, "and shs
WON'T be three years old for over q
month";"
The colored woman looked surprised, q,
though she thought the baby must be o.
least eighteen years old.
"Yes," the conductor went on, "that'i
my girl. and she's the boss girl of the Fll
ton line. That's what all the boys call her
and she deserves It. Gentleman" turning

REPREsESTATIvE Cox, of New York,
admitted the other day that his bill ap-
propriating 100000 for the pedestal of
the Bartholdi statue was of questionable
constitutionality and frankly avowed on
the floor OF the House that he introduced
it simply for the purpose of stirring up
the people of New York. This admis-
sion is more creditable to MIR. Cox's can
dor than to his good craftsmanship. Pos
sibly his action may have the effect of
bringing the millionaires of New York to
a realizing sense Of their duty, but it is
scarcely creditable to man of Mr.. Cox's
ability and experience. If his theory is
good there is no reason why it should not
be applied to every questionable or i'm
practicable scheme which comes before
Congress TO demand its part of the sur
plus.
