The Dixie Oirtiucss.

1t is very evident from the Dixie bust
ness that no great injustice has been done
English society as an entirety by the scam
dalous exposures of the PdH Mall Gazette.
There seems to be some political animosi-
ty at the bottom of the affair !; and since
the Gazette's revelations bore against the
Conservatives, the exposure of Dilke's
frailties is ascribed to the retaliation of his
enemies against the Radicals, of whom
Dixie was chief.
1Ieis fallen pillar now; he has been
sadly compromised and politically destroy
ed, not by his indiscretion and sins, but by
the exposure of them. On this side it is
hard to understand what he has TO gain
except, perhaps, escape from Jail, if his of
fense is jailable one--by paying large
sum of money to a silly woman and hel
cuckold husband; but it seems that ht
thus avoids all discussion of the scandal il
the newspapers, which to a public man i
something, of course.
Meantime the spectacle of half milliol
people, on mile and half of paper, pet
tioning Parliament to do something for th
suppression of vice seems to be one {
which political leaders cannot wisely be ii
different.

HONORING THE MARTYRS.
The Monument to Rebecca Nourse Who W
Hanged for n Witch.


Hanged for Witch.
From the Boston Advertiser
The monument erected to the memory of
Rebccca Nourse, hanged in Salem, July 10,
1892 for witchcraft will be dedicated on
Thursday at the old homestead at Dapvers,
when the thir annual gathering of her de-
scendents will take place. The exercises
will begin at noon at the First church, Dan
vers Centre, the Rev. c. b. Rice, pastor.
This was formerly the Salem village church,
of which Rebecca Nourse was member at
the time of her arrest for witchcraft There
will be addresses by the Rev. Fielder Israel,
pastor of the First church, Salem, and the
Rev. @. b. Rice, after which procession
will be formed and march to the graveyard,
where the monument will be unveiled
and dedicated. The old homestead from
which she was taken will be open for
inspection by the kindness of Or.n Putnam
and daughter, who reside there. Francis
Nourse purchased the Bishop farm, as it was
then called, April 20, l67S, to be paid for in
20 years, the price being e150 and the rental
for the first II years to be e. per annum, and
after that GlO per year. In the old homestead,
which still stands, lived and prospered
Francis Nourse and his wife Rebecca at the
time the witchcralt delusion arose. On the
23d of March, 1862, Rebecca Nourse was ar
rested by George Herrick, the marshal of
Essex, on complaint of Edward and Jonathan
Putnam, for having practiced ''certain
detestable arts called witchcraft upon Ann
Putnam, Mary Wolcott, Elizabeth Hubbard
and Abigail Williams" She was committed
to Salem Jail by John Hawthorne and
Jonathan Corwin, judges. On April IL she
was taken to Boston with four others by the
order of the great council which met in the
First church, Salem. The court met June 20
and the jury brought in a verdict of .'not
guilty." but the audience made such a
clamor that they retired and brought in a
verdict of guilty. The prisoners were
sentenced to be hanged July 10. Mrs.
Nourse was brought into the church July 3,
MIR. Higginson and Mr.. Noyes being in the
pulpit She was in chains and was excom-
municated. She was hanged July 10, 1862,
on what Is now known as Gallows Hill, and
the body was thrown among the rocks.
whence II was recovered in the night by her
family, taken to the old homestead in Dam
yers, and buried. The monument is SL feet
high, with grassed base 2h feet high. The
base is OF Rockport granite with die of
Quincy granite, lettered and polished, the
apex being Of cut Roekport granite.

A Good Exchange,

In removing John f. Hartranft from tie
collectorship of the custom house in Phila-
delphia and appointing John Cadwalader
to succeed him, the president has done
something more than to supplant a Repub-
lican with Democrat-which, in itself, all
other things being equal, is right good
thing in our estimation.
To begin with, Mr.. Cadwalader stands
better in his party than does Hartranft in
his. The new collector is of old and sound
Democratic stock. His father and his
uncle were distinguished members Of the
party, and did good public service. John
Cadwalader is worthy scion. His Demo-
cracy is ingrained and clear cut he has con-
victions and courage his practice squares
with his profession; and as president of
vigorous association, candidate of his party
for elector and Congress, and in other like
relations, he has attested his Democracy,
which was so well recognized that he was
indorsed by every member of the Demo-
cratic congressional delegation of estate
by thirty-iive out of the thirty-nine men,
bers of the Democratic city committee, the
four being absent from the city; by the
presidents of all the Democratic ward CON-
mittees, and by the entire Philadelphia
delegation to the Democratic national con-
vention at Chicago in 1854. John Cad
walader is live Democrat.
Hartranft has been barnacle upon his
party. He is weak and useless man.
He has served the purposes Of stronger and
worse people than himself and they have
had to provide for him ever since he was

taken up for auditor general to beat our
townsman, Commodore Hiestand, and was
then quietly bagged by the opposition, who
made him twice governor, then postmaster
and collector at Philadelphia. In none of
his positions did he ever show distinguished
ability, leadership, energy or efficiency.
Hartranft is dead Republican.
The administration of the Philadelphia
custom house has been loose, weak and in
efficient. 1t has been the roosting place of
decayed politicians, hospital for lame
ducks. 1t has illustrated the tendencies
and served the purposes Of the Republican
party, and its free and easy system of ad
ministering public trust. 1t is to become
something different under vigorous ad
minstmtion of official responsibility. Tn
] outgoing Of IIartranft and the incom
| ing of Cadwalader give earnest of this.

1T is not at all surprising to hear that the
publishing house of Charles Scribner's Sons
are making preparations for the establish
ment of new magazine of the first class, to
be called Scribner's Monthly. 1t was under
this title that the now famous and phenome-
nally successful Century got its first foot
hold and planted the seeds of its later devel-
opment For several years the old name
clung to it, and when it was sold the vendors
agreed with the purchasers to engage in no
new enterprise Of the same kind before 1856.
But the remarkable fortunes and wider
| scope of the modern magazine, and its indis-
| pensable aid to great publishing
house have tempted the Scribner's
| into new venture. 1t is difficult
| to see Just what field remains to be
occupied by such literary experiment
Biography, travel, outdoor nature, the war
history, literary criticism and "reminiscences
have all been well worked, and nearly every
special interest has its class publication. But
the new periodical, backed by mor6y al.d
conducte1<u .SSrans, vii, no : Jubt find a
place c-~o'Iip TO maintain the supreme tri.

enterprise in the field of periodical litera

THERE will undoubtedly be a great deal
of personal feeling in the pending Virginia
campaign. The political issues and party
lines are not as distinct there as they have
been and even if they were the candidates
chosen are of such name and record that
social sentiment and personal feeling would
necessarily largely rule the issue. The
Wises and tho Lees are both old and dis
tinguished families, with large following.
Wise is the reader campsigner Lee the

with Mahoneism and has lost the respect of
many of his associates. We think he will
be beaten.

GENERAL INIEFFICIENCY in the custom
houses must go.

THERE seems TO be q very general out
burst of sympathy with T. B. Aldrich, the
poet-editor of the atlantic Monthly, in his
ailiiction at having been bequeathed $4,000.
Some years ago he wrote:
man should live in garret, think
And have few friends and be poorly clad,
with an old hat stopping the wind in the chink
To keep the goddess constant and glad.
In memory of this, some of his literary
friends who have heard Of his misfortune,
now como to the fore and agree to start a
company of seventy of the pubic-spirited
men of Boston to agree, each for himself, to
relieve him of $1,000, so that the bequest
cannot do him any i'll.
