girls for immoral purposes. has report
ed that the charges are substantially
true. The investigation was general
and did not embrace an INQUIRY into

the fact that there is such traffic is
fully established in the Judgment of

The Troy Times pays this just tribute
to the devotion of Grants family: "The
country has marked and will remember
the devotion of that family circle to the
dying man. Good old Mother Grant, :"
as Mrs. Grant used TO be called in
Washington. was both mother and a
wife to the sufferer, and Nellie, the
daughter, who came 5000 miles from
across tn sea to shed the light of her
dear presence across her fathers path
way to the tomb, was ever minitering
angel by his side. The country, too,
has learned to love and admire Fred
Grant for his constant care and devo-
ton to his father The world has never
seen a more beautiful example of filial
love and duty illustrated. 1t is hard to
say when, through all the weary
months, Fred Grant slept, or ate, or
drank. He was the one whose minis
trations seemed constant He it was
who appears first to have interpreted
every wish of the dying man when
speech had departed from his lips for
ever. For weeks the General had found
repose only in his easy chair. As the
final moments approached the son
looked into the fathers eyes, and seeing
there a longing for something not to be
expressed in words. he asked, Would
you like to lie DOWN. and gentle nod
TOLD how well he had interpreted the
want. Blessings on the head OF Fred
Grant for his tender ministrations to
our great soldier in all his months of
illness! Let us never forget Tie son
when we think of the father"

ANNE ROYAL was the originator of

She published two weekly papers al
Washington-one, Paul Pry, and after
ward Huntress. Anne Royal had an
assistant named Sally Brass. They
both had the reputation OF being black
mailers. They forced hundreds to sub
scribe by threatening that if they did
not, the Paul Pry would print some
scandals about them. In those days,
according to Anne Royal, female lobby
lists wore scouped hats and long wells. -
They dress differently now. In 1929,
Anne Royal was indicted for being Il

80. Sally Brass preceded her about ten
years. Anne Royal was the widow of

Immortal principles" for which they fought.
The loyal element Of the Nation has been
very patient and forbearing, but it cannot
afford to let such utterapces go unrebuked.
Nor can it afford to trust Southern s1oyal'
traitors ard their Northern allies. Treason
cannot be deifed without harm to the
Nation. There can be no genuine
security, no unity, SO long as such
doctrines prevail, or are tolerated with
out the most unqualified denunciation. 1t is
written in the blood Of the Nations bravest
and best that treason is Infamous. They died
in that belief, and because Of that belief. They
died that treason might not prevail, but that
the Nation might live. We cannot afford to
forget the awful lesson of the war. The
scroll that unrolled in 1861 is still spread be-
fore the eyes of the world. The conclusions
of the mighty struggle it recounts cannot be
ignored nor set aside without imperiling our
national autonomy. 1t is Of record that trea-
son is odious and cannot be allowed a place
anywhere in all our redeemed land, saved
from the men who now boast of their attempt
to dismember it.

airy and expenses of man to report the Su-
preme Court decisions for the benefit of the
lawyersi There are lawyers enough in the
Legislature to jump at any proposition
locking to the special benefit Of that profession,
and under the plea Of economy put through
some measure the benefit of which they
will reap at the general expense of the tax
payers. That some relief is needed from the
everlasting food of Supreme Court reports no
body will doubt. The first relief isa Supreme
Court that willadhere to the same opinion upon
aquestion throughout the whole Of one term, at
least. Another relief would be change in
the Constitution, or a. change in its con-
struction, SO that all the opinions
on mere technical points of pleading
will not have to be printed. Were
the Constitution so construed that no
opinions should be printed except those dis
cussing and settling some principle, or ap-
plication of principle of law, there would
not need to be more than one or two volumes
of reports each year. 1t is in this direction
that intelligent economy should be used, and
not ia the direction of making the Office of
reporter charge upon the general treasury
in the interests solely of the legal profession.

The State of Indiana is disgraced to have
such men in its Legislature as the ten who
yesterday put upon the legislative records a
pitiable and contemplate amendment to the
very proper motion appointing committee to
officially attend the funeral of the late
Schuyler Colfax. The spirit of the amend
ment was fifty condemned by the more re-
spectacle Democrats in the body, but it is a
shame that any man could be found small
enough and mean enough to put such stigma
upon the State.

'"The Governor of North Carolina tells the
Legislature that the delay in the trial of Grim
mails in that State is putting the law abiding
spirit of the people to a test which, in several
instances, they have not been able to stand.
He condemns lynch law in the strongest
terms, but thinks that the responsibility for
such outbreaks must fall largely upon the
Legislature, which persistently neglects to
provide more speedy and efficient criminal
administration. This is timely reminder,
than North Carolina, and to other instances
of persons taking the law into their own hands
than lynching."

In speech, at Brooklyn, urging tho cleo
ton of Hon. VIM. NJ Evarts as senator of the
United States from the State of New York,
Hon. Stuart L. Woodford said:
There are other questions that will, in my
Judgment, come before the next Senate for
discussion of great import. These relate to
and spring out Of those amendments to the
Constitution of the United States by which
the Republican party have sought to perpetu-
ate and consummate the great results Of the
civil war. Gross violation of certain sections
of these amendments has given the late cleo
ton to the Democratic party by giving in
some Of the Southern States, a representation
to the actual voters nearly or quite twice as
large as to the actual voters of some of the
Northern States. Mr.. Blaine, in his post-elec-
ton letter, has pointed out this evil in
clear and unmistakable terms 1t is one that
must be met, considered and remedied; other
wise it will become q wrong too grievous to
be borne. The amendment of the Constitu-
ton relating to pensions is in danger since
the party that have opposed this as well as the
other amendments has come into power. The
contest over their construction and enforce
ment is assuming new aspect, one that will
call forth the strongest intellectual efforts of
the age. For these discussions the floor of
the Senate will be the forum of debate.
Again, the power is coming when questions
of constitutional construction affecting the
dearest right of man will agitate the Nation
The South and the Democratic party have
put the strongest men to the front; we of the
North must do likewise to cope with and over
come them"

THE English Court of Chancery has issued
a perpetual injunction against the publication
of the late Lord Lytton -Bulwer's letters.
This is rather wide departure from the
course hitherto held with the literary remains
Of eminent authors, but it strikes us as a ju-
dicious one There are two classes Of letters
which, if preserved by the parties, should
never be allowed to reach the public. The
letters of man and wife, before or during
marriage, which contain matters that neither,
if living, would show to any one else, and let
tiers impeaching private character, whether of
public men or others, which would excite i'll
feeling and make enmities between those
still living-in fact any purely per-
sonal references, that would make trouble
among surviving friends or aequaint-
ances, should never be made public while those
survivors or those interested in them remain.
Talleyrand did wise and righteous thing in
prohibiting the publication OF his memoirs for
generation after his death. A good thing
would have been done for the cynical Carlyle
if his diary and his snarling at contemporary
authors had been suppressed for twenty years
after his death. The good that is done by
spreading abroad the private opinions, de-
scriptions and estimates of the character or
genius of eminent dead men is likely to be
overbalaneed in good many cases by the i'll
feeling provoked, and in such cases publica-
ton should be made late or never. An in
junction is good thing to lay upon the pre-
mature exposure Of such matters, when the
executors or heirs have not judgment enough
to restrain them without it. There are not
many such cases, but there are few, and
Earl Lytton's letters and Carlyles memoirs
prove that they may do more harm than goods
to the memory of the deceased, if to nothing
else. It is well to know the truth of the
dead as well as the living but not when it
drags enmities and heart burnings into the
grave.
