A BERKs county postmaster has been
arrested by the federal authorities unde,
the laws against obscene literature, fQr
returning 10 a business firm one of lis
circulars with filthy endorsement. We
beg to call the attention of the postmas,
ter general to the fact that during the
late campaign tons of obscene literature
were mailed to clergymen and into
American homes all over the country
by the various Republican committees
The contents of these circulars were
known to most OF these postmssters who
handled them, but we have yet to hesr
of single federal official who tried to
check their circulation or to bring to
judgment the rascals who sent them
out.

SATURDAY EVENING nov. is. ise4
A Tsrdy Announcement.

Having ascertained that no objection
can be taken to the vote in New York
which will affect its plurality for Cleve-
land, Mr.. Blaine takes occasion to de-
clare his virtuous desire not to take any
technical exception to the returns, his
only aim being to ascertain the declared
win Of the people. He thinks it would
b. no honor otherwise to secure the
presidency, and for himself he would
spurn 1t IL he has not fairly won IL.
These are good words but come some
what late from Mr.. Blaine. They would
have been very much In order il they bad
been put into his FIRST communication
to the public after the election. They
would have saved his committee from
claiming his election after the returns
showed that he had been defeated. The
sentiments he now expresses would have
prevented him from claiming that he had
been elected when he had not been. 1t
viii be remembered that Mr.. Blaine de-
clared that he had the figures to show
that be had plurality of the votes Of
New York. The result shows that he
never had any true figures, showing this,
and it seems quite certain that he never
had figures Of any kind that he had
reason to rely upon, demonstrating that
he had carried New York for no one
else has ever had them. But when Mr..
Blaine made this decided assertion and
proclaimed to the people that
he had been surely elected,
when he had not been elected
at all, it would have been very proper for
him at the same time to have declared,
as he now declares, that he would take
advantage Of no technica]ities and that
be would scorn to accept the presidency
IL be was not clearly and decidedly
chosen by the votes of the people. To
say this now, when there is no possible
chance of the New York decision being
made In his favor fairly subjects Mr.,
Blaine to the suspicion we entertain Of bis
virtuous words, that they are the out
come of his knowledge that there are no
technicalities nor devices which can be
made profitable to him. 1t is well that
Mr.. Blaine is resigned, even this late, to
the inevitable and to know that he Il
virtuous, when it does not promise I,
pay to be wicked but it does not dis
play in Mr.. Blaine any peculiar quick
ness of discernment or any powerful
honesty. Mr.. Blaine, in truth, has go
to be very slow old crank. He did mo-
know that Burchard's RS we're bad fol
him, ard did not know that he was slair
until everyone else had found it out.

1T it is said that the way is open for
Arthur to succeed Lapham in the United
States Senate. 1t would be desirable
change. There never was time that the
senatorial representation of the leading
two states WAS as weak AZ now.
THE minstrel show advertisers claim to
have originated the expression painting
the town red." In their rivalry to cover
the bill boards, one of them covered every
dead wall in Adrian, Mich, with scarlet
posters, and that was the first town
"painted red."
The Syracuse Morning Standard crop }
announces that, in its judgment, Cleveland
has carried the state, and this view will be
accepted by Republicans throughout New
York. The NsW Era keeps out its flag
in celebration of Cleyeland's victory and
its Republican friends may as we'll pay
their bets.
1T seems that some of the Independents
have come to stay. Beecher says 'In
national affairs am Democrat and shall
remain one as long as the Democrats main
tain ideas consistent with good govern
ment. Having elected Mr.. Cleveland, il
would be unfair and unwise to abandon
him, and to return to the party which
deliberately chose Mr.. Blaine as it's leader"
Meantime the Republicans are doing all
they can to permanently drive the Pro :
hibitionists out Of their old party. Casss
are reported from all over the country
like that from Millville, N. j., where one
Of St. Johns supporters has become 30
exasperated by the remarks of his former
Republican associates that he placed
flagstaff upon his residence, ran up q flag

The marriage of the daughter OF ex-

In the Richmond, Va, cathedral on Thurs
day evening brings up au interesting
question Of Catholic church discipline.
From time immemorial 1t has been rule
in the Catholic church that the wedding
ceremony between Catholic aud
Protestant cannot be celebrated in o
Catholic church. A special dispensation
was granted by the pope for the ceremony
for tho reason that the brides father
having occupied high civic position in
the nation, his family is entitled to the
same immunity from strict churchly
restrictions Of this kind as the houses of
nobility on the continent. While on its
face this may seem bending of the
church rules in favor of the wealthy and
powerful, It is doubtless founded on good
policy At any rate, humanity speak
ing, it enables the church to retain her hold
OF those whose membership is at once an
ornament and o bulwark.
