fortified by some loose assertions in Herbert
Spencers crudest work. Social Statics,' attacks
the titles of the present And-holders, and
argues that inasmuch "a in the distant past
much land was taken by force or acquired by
fraud, therefore it would be absurd to think Of
paying the present owners anything for it. Let
the State resume possession of it, he proposes,
and let no attention be paid to the protests and
remonstrances of that iniquitOus class the land
lords No doubt quite as good arguments could
be found for the confiscatiOn of all the capital
invested in the three per cent consols, and all
the loose cash. pictures jewels, statuary and
personal property generally N the hands OF the
weathier classes, and it is reasonable TO sup
pose that this too will be suggested in due
course. Just now, however, Mr.. George is
principally intent upon settling the land ques-
tiOn; and since there is discomfort among the
English poor he intends to strike the iron while
it is hot.
Mr.. Chamberlain proposed to relieve the
Over-crowding of London by compelling all
kinds of landlords except the kind he belongs to
TO build better houses for the poor. Mr.. George
will not be satisfied with any such halfway
measures. What he demands is that all the
owners of land shall be summarily dis
possessed. In England the land does belong to
the Crown, in theory, and no absolute title in
fee can pass there. Mr.. George would have the
Crown assert its pTcrOgatiye, and Parliament
abolish private property in land. This is the
panacea he holds out to the landess, and no
doubt he will find plenty of irresponsible back
ers Of that class. Perhaps the most depressing
fact about his mission is his own genuine belief
in the thorough feasibility of his eccentric
scheme. Oliver Wendell Holmes remarks that
if a general conhagrahon should occur to-
morrow, 50 strong is the speculative spirit in
mankind that there would be a corner in potash
twenty four hours later. just so it may be said
that if property in land were abolished to-
morrow there would be a rcactOnary movement
the next day. But civilization is not going back
ward. There will be furries and alarms at in
tcrvas. There may be occasional explosions to
clear the air. But the lines upon which Eyolu-
ton has proceeded thus far will be adhered to,
and no theorst, either with or without a
wagonette, can effect more than an ephemeral
sensation.

Ncv-snoncrs of a certain class are adding
new horror to the consequences OF insanity ana
a new pang to the sorrows Of afflicted families.
The mysterious disappearance OF SICK man Is
of the highest value TO them as 4 sensation,
and when the public excitement begins to flag
they lash it into life again by printing every
sort of impertinent gossip about the lost mans
private affairs. His whole life is ransacked for
the record of peccadiloes. Petty failings are
exacgerated into wees. The symptoms of dis
ease are distorted into marks of depravity.
The most innocent actions are misconstrucd,
and illness is represented rs the consequence or
q lon, INDULGENCE in evil courses. The missing
patent was popular while he was with u.s. but
no sooner has he vanished from sight than IN
genuity is strained TO invent dEcredltable eX-
plantations OF his misfortune. Ii the iayorltc or
the public could return he would find
that "live journalism" had made his abb
sence an occasion for destroying his character
Some of the scandalous stories told
about Charles Delmouico have been promptly
dlsproved. 1t is very likely that all OF them
could be disposed of if his friends had the time
or the patience TO follow up the daily falschoods
Yet il is worth noting that the papers which
have been starting these tales paid no atten-
ton to the refutatiOn Of them, and merely let
the lies drop when they had served the needs
of the day, and proceeded to collect new ones.
Just before yesterdays shocking discovery on
Orange Mountain, having left nothing OF the
reputation of Mr.. DelmDnico himself, they
were bestowing their attention upon his family
and nearest friends, whom they accused of
shamming grief and conspiring to deceive the
public and the detectives.
We cannot suspect the newspapers Of malice
in this cruel and dishonOrable treatment of an
unfortunate man and his kinsfolk. No doubt
if he could have been restored to health they
would have cordially congratulated him, and
perhaps been surprised if their fluctuations
were not well received. The trouble is that
they regard all personal affairs from the point
of view of "a village tea-party, in which the
dissemination of gossip is treated as the first in
terest of society, and reports about people are
circulated because they are interesting, not be-
cause they are true. As for any sense of moral
responsibility in the matter, of that the typical

al PRJV4TE OR LOCAL BILL

By a vote of the people in 1874 the Constitu-
ton was amended with view Of protecting the
statute book from unnecessary legislation.
Section 8 of Article Ill reads: " The LegiSla-
ture shall not pass private or local bill in any
4" of the following cases" Then follows the
enumeration Of a large number of cases, after
which the section continues: The Legislature
4" shall pass general laws providing for the cases
enumerated in this section, and for all other
eases which in its judgment may be provided
- for by general laws"
That this is a wise amendment nobody denies
1t simplifes legislation. 1t prevents useless
increase of its volume. There is no reason, for
instance, why the Legislature should be called
upon to pass bin every time man desires to
have his name changed. One comprehensive
general act on the subject under which all such
changes can be effected is much better. And
what is true of names is true OF a large number
of other subjects. There would seem to be no
need of calling attention to this amendment, and
vet the fact remains that at every session since
il took effect laws have been passed which
either come within its prohibition OF which con-
yict onr lawmakers of disobedience to its man
date looking to the passage Of additional gen.
eral laws. Governor Cleveland has thought
ful paragraph on this subject in his message.
Speaking of bills purely local in their character,
affecting only special interests he says !;
Every consideration of expediency, as well as
"the language and evident intent of the Con-
"stitutiOn dictates the exclusion of such matters
from legislative consideration. The powers
of Boards of Supervisors and other local
authorities have been enlarged for the ex-
