The Philadelphia Controllcrship

There Is universal regret and sincere
sympathy expressed over the death Of
Controller Jeffries, Of Philadelphia,
stricken down upon the threshold Of an
official career which he had q chance TO
make one of credit TO himself and an
agreeable disappointment 10 those WHO
opposed his election. He was a decent
man personally and the strenuous oppo
sitlon which once defeated him and
again ran him Is, 600 behind his : Eot,
was directed rather at the political DhI
ences which dictated his candidacy than
az himself. lie had started fairly In his
official position and the public was dis
posed to give him fair play. II seems an
| indelicate thing to canvass the success
orship before the grave has closed upon
Mr.. Jeffries, but there seems to be an
irresistible popular impulse TO do this IN
view of the very recent struggle for the
Office, the fact that the appointment rs
in the hands Of the governor who mad to
HI the vacancy just year ago, and tie
belief that the appointee will have the
advantage in the contest that will eusuo

4 PROSTITUTED POWER.

If humanity, despite al that is
said and adrar ced to show the vices
that cling to it with Increasing aga.
as barnacles fasten to the ship with
Fastening decay, still stood the test,
still proved free from vice, there
would get remain one evidence of
mans weakness and his daring in
the face of law. That evidence
would be found in the bare-faced
effrontery with which those who
live by a defiance of law, and by
violating nature, advertise their ne
farious vocations. It is sad COM
mentary on the boosted power Of
the press for good that it should will
lingly advance the ends of the evil
doer, by advertising their disreputG-
BILE business to the world. If enc
could show the consequence that re-
suits from one Days advertising
through such q popular medium IS
the New York Herald, he would
stand appalled,. Yet that journal is
an admitted representative; is a
power in the world; is taken into
every home, placed before the inno~
cent, and eide by side wi h tne min
listers exhor!ation, in the same
number with editorial moralizings
on crime and its preveDtatives, can
be seen appointments for assigna-
tions, advertisements Of abortionists
and the cards of the worst Class of
humanity who prey upon mankind
by vicious practices, and invite pat
ronage in the very testh of laws OPP
posed to them.
It is hardly necessary to travel az
far as New York for All example,
when it can be found in the columns
of sheet representing itself as a |
great moral calcium light; and Jet
for a few paltry cents It's columns
are open TO abortion advertisements,
and the abortionist is so braZan-
faced as TO be regardless Of the laws
Of man, or the sentiments Of moral
and purely loving community. With
what grace do utterances of honesty
and virtue come from creature so
venaI and mercenary that it will
pander to the will of the vilest and
the most detestable. AS portion
of the great power that should ever
be exercised in behalf OF the
best interests of humanity, we in
vite a comparison between the ut
teTances, the claims and the prac-
tice of so base sheet, and We blush
for shame that an influence should
ever have come in our midst that
VII gaze calmly on the effrontery.
the glazing, the advertised wicked
ness of the vile thing that will
admit even a willingness to yield
to and encourage the evil propensity
of the foolish and the misguided.

IN THE Republican convention of
1880, one Flanagan, of Texas, made
himself famous by short speech on
the civil service reform resolution
which he moved to table. His
speech was as follows:
Mr.. Presiient-Texas has had quite
enough Of civil service. During the last
four years, sir, ont Of l, 400 officers sp-
pointed by the President OF the United
States, 14e represented the Republican
party. We are Tot here, sir, for the pur.
pose ofproviding officers for the Demo.
crazy. There is one plank in the Demo-
cratic party that I have ever admired,
and that is, $50 the victors belong the
spoiIs." After We have won the race,
as We will, we will give those Who are
entitled to positions Office. What are
we up here fol-? ! mean that members of
the RepU blican party ere entitled to
Office, and If we are victorious We will
have Office. I therefore move to lay the
amendment on the table.
No more truthful speech was ut
tered during the convention, and
while it echoed the sentiments OF
every Republican, it created sen
sstion, the party feeling as if it were
the giving away OF something.
Orders were sent to Texas not to
let Flanagan come to the conven-
ton this year, but the frank old man
bobs up serenely as a delegate, and
the party managers are wondering
what unpleasant truths he will
make it his business to utter this
time.
