THE LONDON sEusATION.


sensation continues, and the third
installment Of its exposures wal
put forth today. This in many re-
spects IL more repulsive than any
that has preceded it. Five pages
are devoted to details. Every case
is so clearly described that the
guilty parties could be located
within twenty-four hours by . de.
tective Of the most ordinary intel
ligence. Every possible clue is
given, except the names of the
principals. The accompanying ed
itorial today is short, but more ae-
gressive than any that has been
printed since the exposures we're
begun. The editor not only de6es,
but invites, prosecution, but he
warns intending prosecutors that
many names will necessarily be re-
vealed during the trial of any cases
brought against him. Some men,
he says, will be spared until the
last, on account of their honest
wives and worthy daughters and
sons, Of whom they are unworthy
fathers If such men choose to
lead the attack, they will, he says,
be sheltered behind women whom
thew know they are unworthy to
touch.
The only persons who thus far
come within the clutches Of the
law on account Of this sensation
are a few nexsboys. The cumber-
some machinery Of the Home Office
for the suppression of newspapers
cannot be lightly put in operation,
but any inspector can order the ar
rest of persons selling what he
deems to be an obscene publication.
Hence it happens that while the
Pail Mall Gazette S presses are run
ming night and day, and the papers
are being sold by truckloads for
circulation throughout tue three
kingdoms, ten newsdealers have
been arrested on a charge of selling
indecent prints, The prisoners
were taken before Lord Mayor Fow-
Ter and promptly released or re-
manded under nominal bail. The
Lord Mayor expressed the opinion
that the editor of the Gazette was
actuated by the highest motives.
He said that if crime had been
committed in pointing out a nest of
crimes, the publishers should first
be dealt with, after which there
be time enough to prosecute the
men and boys who bought and sold
the paper in the ordinary course of
trade.
The Office Of the Gazette is in
state of siege, A shrieking mob
is in possession of the sidewalks.
News vendors, regular aud irregular
are pressing forward to buy copies
of the paper at shilling apiece.
Eight policemen are on duty form
ing the purchasers into line. They
are admitted at ole entrance, where
tickets for the papers are bought,
and as soon as they receive the pa
pers called for by their tickets they
go out of another door aud begin t.
sell the papers at almost any pr'ce
they choose to ask. The sale Of
papers at the Office is not onl ~ tol- |
Grated but regulated and facilitated |
by the police. but as soon as the
yender begins to sell his wares on
the street he is liable to arr st. Al

At the clubs the principal occu
patton is fitting the names Of ac
cused persons to the descriptions
in the Gazette. In many cases th.
descriptions are so accurate tina
nothing is left to conjecture. l. !
other cases there is a good deal o,
guesswork. The names Of mem
bers of the royal family and of til,
highest nobility are freely bandie'
about. Many aristocrats are howl
