Turn These RascaIs Out,

A young man charged with sending OBJ
scene literature through the U. ). mails
has been convicted in the federal courts of
Cincinnati, and sentenced to three years
imprisonment. This swift and condign
punishment of a disgusting and demoral-
izing offense will, no doubt, meet with
general appreciation.
During the last campaign many members
Of the Republican party and many branches
of its organization were actively engaged
in this same dirty business. They sent
through the mails hundreds of thousands
of copies of the foulest, most libellous, sug-
gestive and indecent documents. One of
these in particular printed secretly in Phil
adelphia-the publication having been re-
moved from New York to avoid Anthony
Comstock, no doubt-was mailed exten-
sively in this state and in such an open and
shameless way that the postmasters hand
ling it could not well have been ignorant of
its character
The documents were mailed in Philadel-
phia for the clergy of New York and New
Jersey, and they were sent from Camden
over to Philadelphia. They We're sent in
open envelopes and so carelessly dis
, tributed that they were almost certain to
fall into the hands of the children of the
households into which the deadly poison
was sent.
The postmaster and other postal officials
at such offices as Philadelphia, it is to he
presumed, were well aware of the kind of
stuff that was circulating through their
hands and under their noses, in violation of
law. They are usually very alert to detect
and to have cognizance taken of this sort
of thing in private offenders. We have
yet TO hear of the first effort they made to
ferret out the pimps and procurers of the
Blaine committee who prostituted the
mails and polluted the households of the
and with this deluge of obscene ltera-
ture.
The postmasters who connived at this
sort Of thing are of the class described in
Gov. Cleveland's letter;
s.Many now holding such positions have
forfeited all just claim to retention, because
they thaye used their places for party pur-
poses In disregard OF their duty 10 the peo-
pie, and because, instead Of being decent
public servants they have proved themselves
offensive partisans and unscrupulous manip-
uiators OF local party management
Every one of them must go-and
quick, too.

All but one of the anthracite coal pro
ducing and carrying companies have agreed
among themselves as to the proportion of
the output of 1885 each shall make. The
exception is the Pennsylvania railroad
company, which will be very glad to see
the Others restrict themselves. but wants a
loose foot itself. 1t promises to behave
decently and to keep up prices as far as it
can, but it possesses conscientious scruples
about entering into bargain with its COM
petitors. 1t doubts whether it is lawful /;
and the Pennsylvania would not offend
agair st the law for the world. 1t never
does; unless when it suits it. This
time it does not suit it. 1t will suit it q
great deal better to have its competitors
bound up while it has free foot. 1t can
thus get good prices for its coal get lit
tie more than its full share of traffic and
pose before the community as wise, law
observing, public opinion-respecting corpo.

The Reading company will he worse
than silly if they enter into such 4
fast and loose arrangement with their rival
1t is a serious question whether the
Readings interests do not require it tC
keep out of any combination and to sell al
the coal it can for what it can. We are ot
the opinion this is her proper policy. Sh,
hassuperiorities over her competitors whicl
she ought to take full advantage of. Tn,
present policy of the companies has re
suited in keeping the price of anthracit,
coal so high that bituminous coal takes it

price while yielding large prof

in their own light in demanding higI

which large sales and small profits shoul,
be the motto, and so long as bituminou

The Reading, as the greatest coal produce
and carrier, and as corporation who's
prosperity is bound up with that of til
industries tributary to its railroad, shoul

will yield it fair profit, upon the bushes

IT is pointed out as remarkable fact that
three statues were raised to women in Amer
ca during the year just closed. One of these
was to Mrs. Julia s. Teirs, of Shelbyville,
KY, who won her fame by success and use
fulness as a teacher. Another was to Harriet
Martineau, the famous Englishwoman, and
the third to Margaret Haughrey. The most
of the visitors to whom the latter's memorial
in New Orleans will be pointed ont will ask
"Who was Margaret Haughrey?" She was of
Irish birth; never owned a silk dress or a
pair of kid gloves, but she made large for
tune by a bakery famous for the excellence
of its bread ali over New Orleans, and with
the money she made she founded and built
up an orphan asylum, which the wealth she
left endows and sustains. Sang a rare Eng
lish poet:
