NO TIME FOR DISSENTION.
McMinyille Standard.

We regard the discussion of this
question, at this particular time, as
unfortunate and inappropriate. If
the Democratic party desire to
elect a Democratic President and a
Democratic Congress this fall, they
have no time to dispute about the
Tariff" or other questions which
tend to divide and weaken the
party. 1t will be time enough to
discuss these questions after the
party shall have come into power.

The city of Cairo has permanent popu'

costing millions of dollars, including build
ings erected by the government; has
splendid levees about seven miles in length,
which have thoroughly protected the city
from inundaton by the unprecedented
floods of the last two years, aud which IN
view of these extraordinary high waters
have within the last six months been at
great expense greatly raised and strength
ened and also has railroad depots, tracks,
inclnes and other appliances, constructed
at great expense, for the transaction OF the
immense traffic brought to it by the rivers
and railroads centrng there. The extern
sion of the river improvement in the inter-
est of through navigation from Commerce
down stream will, by rendering the banks
of the stream permanent, furnish an ade-
quate and permanent protection to the city
and to all the costly appliances already
provided for the proper accommodation OF
the immense commerce concentrated at it.
As the work necessary for the protection
of these river banks is required to be done
above the locality where the effect is to be
produced the government alone can afford
this permanent and adequate protection,

AN INTERPRETING DECISION,

Judge Blodgett, of the Superior court of Massachusetts, has just made decision which is of interest to all managers of news papers and their readers He refused to commit Daniel J. Saunders, city editor, and James P. Frost, reporter, of the Boston Globe, for contempt of court in printing in formation supposed to be known only to the grand jury. The Globe printed story re- garding murder case, which evidence had been before the grand jury, but had not been found sufficient to found an indictment upon. States Attorney Stevens seems to have got the idea that some one in his office or in the police office or on the grand jury had leaked, and that a proper way to find out would be to have the reporters com mitted for contempt of court. Judge Blod- gett found that the facts did not warrant the commitment, as the question simply was whether the reporters should divulge the names of persons who had given them infor- nation and was not material to any inquiry in the murder case.
 This decision is one of several that go to show that editors cannot be compelled to tell anybody who may want to know where the
  field Republican thus properly comments up- on the decision: Exemption is not claimed for the (editoriaD profession from the com mon duty of all citizens to give evidence, when called upon, to secure conviction for crime; but, on the other hand, they should not be exposed to arbitrary attempts to ex- tort from them the authority for statements which have come to them from confidential sources, the ascertainment of which is not material to the ends of justice. The public are interested in and profited by the publicity of current events; the importance of this end justifes the confidential relations be- tween the reporter and his sources of infor- nation, similar to that between the lawyer and his client, or the physician and his pa tient.
 People Gwen State attorneys and police of icials) will sometime find out that newspa- pers do more good than harm by discover ing and printing things that they (the attor- neys and the oficials) are apt to want kept secret. We are glad to see that this idea has found a 1odgment in the mind of the mayor of Philadelphia, who has done very sensi- ble thing. He has ordered station house sergeants to inform without delay the news papers and police authorities of murders and other crimes, and has dismissed certain of these officers for withholding such informa- ton. The truth is, there are very few cri1ni- nal cases nowadays where secrecy is any advantage, and there are many where the public and reporters may give valuable aid.

Peter the Great at KarIsbad.

Ni
 Peter first visited Karlsbad in October Til, doing so with view to drink the waters; but nothing definite is known about his malady. From picture of the period a notion may be formed of the manner in which he took the waters. A room is there shown in which there is bed, and on the wall board on which to chalk the number of glasses taken. There are three rows of figures the third is blurred, but the second indicates the number twenty-three An anecdote is preserved which shows why the Czar Peter had to be careful in noting the number of glasses. When the doctor first saw him he ordered that the Czar b gin by drinking three glasses. The Czar under stood him to mean three pitchers; and select ed out of the pitchers used for bringing water from the ''Sprudel'sto his lodgings the one which he thought the best for the pur- pose of drinking. Lying in bed he swallowed the contents of one pitcher and had nearly finished those of second when the doctor entered the room. The Czar said to him: ''I think I shall empty the second pitcher, but cannot possibly manage to get down the contents of the thirl." The doctor was astounded and hastened to explain the mis- take. As the archives of Karlsbad were de- S6EOy0u. ny llo HI 1iOJ3 AAdaIly O1 eAo P"L CLSu lars concerning the Czar's sojourn are lost; but the records of Teplitz have been pre- served, and they contain the foll1wlng anecdote of the Czar, who wont thltheI from Karlsbad to take the bath lie arrived at Teplitz on the 9th of November, 1712, and took bath that day. Although the temperature of the water was 110' Fahren- heit, he ordered stove to be placed in the bathroom and heated to high pitch, and, be- fore entering the hot water, he swallowed a large quantity of brandy. Each time he took a bath he remained several hours in it. In the absence of more precise information, it may be inferred that overdoses of brandy may have occasioned the Czar's ailment. He was as assiduous at his devotions as in drink ing There being no Greek church at Karls- bad then he was accustomed to go daily up the side of the valley, kneel before cross placed there, and say his prayers, while his attendants kept away intruders. He worked as a mason at house then building, and he competed for and carried off the prize at shooting match On both occasions he dis played his nasty temper. A mason regard ing him, as he thought, in a contemptuous fashion, he threw 8 trowelfu1 of mortar in the poor mans face. Learning afterward that, finstead of meaning disrespect, the mason meant to express h1s astonishment at seeing so great man working with a trowel as mason, the Czar repented him of his haste and of the injury done to the mason and made him present. In like manner he was so enraged at the applause of spec tator of his shooting, who was really sur ,prised at his skill but was supposed by the Car to have made so much noise in order to distract his attention that he fired at but happily missed him,
