The Commissioners Decide 20 Impose a
Tax OH Mediums.


To uc Editor.
The district commissioners yesterday de-
cided that tho law regulating licenses places
mediums in the category of the theatrical and
other exhibitions. The smallest feo is S2)
per week, 800 per annum, or $5 per meeting,
if any fee is charged, no matter how small.
Under the present construction Of the
law, all moral and scientific lectures.
and demonstrations of all kinds, even
lectures on education come under tho
ban The effect of this decision will be to
compel mediums to give Washington wide
berth. Ohio alone disgraced herself and lost
the last election by the Rcnssell law, which
is an embargo upon free thought, free
speech, and scientific investigate on; but her
bigots and courts have not dared to brave
public opinion by its enforcement in single
case. 1t remain ed for the commissioners of
this district, right under the shadow OF
the capitol, dedicated (?) to freedom, to lead
off in this unjust discrimination, upon the
most flmsy pretext 1t cannot he possible
that the trainers OF this law ever contem-
plated such use of tho law; or that they
imagined that the act of congress would he
used to obstruct lectures on moral or scientific
subjects of any kind. / suggest the expendi-
ture Of large amount OF the proposed school
fund on this district.

intimated that their answer TO former re-
quests was a stereotypcd one and would
answer on this occasion.

The Remedy.
TO he Esiiior.

From your structures on Judge Wiley in
tho trial Of the detectives the rational infer.
ence is that there is something radically
wrong in the administration of the criminal
law in the district that needs reformation OF
remedy. The remedy is an easy one as
fully demonstrated by the legislative action
in several of the states, by passing law pro-
hibiting any judge in his charge to a jury to
and confne himself exclusively to the law
of the case and that to be done in writing,
the result of which is the approval or disap.
proval of the written instructions drawn up
by the counsel on either side. Let congress
pass such an act and the remedy is applied.
Advocate it, SPECTATOR.
