A case OF Importance To the news
papers, and consequently to the
reading public generally, was decid-
ed in Boston day before yesterday.
The Globe published certain infor
nation. The members of the grand
jury desired to obtain the source Of
that information, aud summoned the
city editor and reporter to testify
before them. The newspaper men
declined to answer the questions,
very properly holding that the facts
we're privileged communications, and
that it would be q breach of profes.
>ional confidence to disclose the
names OF the authors. They persis-
ted in their refusal to reply, and they
were arraigned before the court for
contempt, Thursday, Judge Blod.
gett, of the Superior Court, decided
that the action could not he main
aimed, and that no answer could be
compelled. This is simple justice.
The journalist, like any other pro.
fessiOnal man, has secrets which he
cannot conscientiously disclose, aud
no court has a right to force such
disclosures from him.

amiable partner had done, while the
spectators looked on in amazement.
Mr.. Mangle was hating between a
point blank lie which might entail
the penalty of perjury, and the truth
which would cost him a loss of money
and reputation.
C,.wardice performed the Office of
conscience, and the truth came out.
The firms money, which George
Gilbert had lost, had been won by the
senior partner, and the Court in
structed the jury that iaasmuch as
the sum in question had actually
been delivered to one of the joint
owners, who was bound to render all
account to his associate, the prison
er could not be convicted, and
he was accordingly discharged from
custody.

THE VICTOR OF THE CANAL FIGHT

There was a time when the presi
dent of the Chesapeake and Ohit
Canal was ex ofiicio the rcseuer OF
Maryland politics. 1t was his func
ton to run the state, arrange the
states, fix primaries, preside atmeet
ings, prepare the business Of conven.
ti0ns so that they bad nothing to Dc
but carry out the arranged program.
and, when election time came, t,
furnish the majorities in close pre-.
cincts. But the orange appears t.
have been sucked dry-the COW, 81
to speak, to have been thorough,
MIXED. 1t is now stagnant line
of ditch water fretted with locks,
upon whose beams sit malarious
lock keepers, who use profane Ian
guage concerning these degenerate
times. Certain of its bondholden
are in court asking for receiver, an,
the painful fact stares them in th.
face that there is very little to re.
ceiye.
The presidency Of the canal lifted
one incumbent into the chairman
ship of the state Democratic commit
tee, then it lifted him into the Senate.
and thence into the craftsmanship nj
the Executive Committee Of the
Democratic National Committee
all sorts of committees within com
mittees; and the experience derived
in rescuing Maryland politics war
useful in running the Democratic
campaign of "purity and REFORM
But now, alas the Office is not
what it was. Mr.. Lewis Cass Smith,
who is the retiring president, seems
to have made the capital mistake Of
attempting to run the canal on bust
ness principles. So he goes. And
now Mr.. Victor Baughman is made
president of the big ditch, with all
the usufruct of rescuing the politics
of Maryland and all the appurtenan-
ces thereunto appertaining. But he
will hardly be able to accomplish Az
much rescuing as one of his prede.
cessors. In fact, it is thought that
the shade of former incumbent still
fixes things in and around the tow
paths of politics. Indeed, there are
some persons who go so far as to hint
that the reason why Mr.. Baughman
is there is because he is in harmony
with the spirit OF the good old
days" Some people even suppose
that an unseen hand viii pull the
strings that will make the marionet-
te perform to the music ofthe ancient
tunes. But ii President Baughman
desires to make a financial success
of it, the only way for him to do it
is to provide the board OF directors
with scyfhes, and make them now
the towpath and adivy , on the
hay - Anseyicaa.
