THE LATEST ENGLISH SCANDAL

The news is that Sir Charles Dixie has
paid an aggrieved husband S125,0OO to
hush the thing up, and now we are told
that the matter is settled so far as the
Courts and the press are concerned. The
newspapers cannot now mention the right
honorable gentleman's name in connection
with the scandal that has run through
the dispatches for some days without incur
ring heavy penalties for libel.
1t is well for Sir Charles bikes delicate
reputation that England is what it is, and
that he can salve a hideous sore, heal a
vicious moral delinquency and sew up the
public mouth with pounds sterling. 1t is
well for Sir Charles Dixie that he has not
to deal with the American press. No such
saving Of palms could save him here. But
Dixie, in his liaison with the wife of a
Londoner, was not worse than many an
other civil official Of her Majesty Victoria
Alexandria, who has not been found
out, The moral rottenness of English high
life has been on exposition recently. and
the revelations give Sir Charles great deal
of company. There is only one man worse
than Dixie, and he is so much more blame
worthy, that the English knight is not to
be mentioned in the same breath, and that
is the aggrieved husband who sells his
honor for gold and becomes a party
to the infamy of his wife for
price fixed. There is no sympathy
to be wasted upon the woman either who
has been the cause of all the social stencil.
1t appears that she made and kept an APP
pointment with Sir Charles, but finding at
the rendezvous another of her own kind,
whom the liberal aristocrat had forgotten.
she becomes terribly indignant, expert
ences sudden shock of jealous virtue, and
makes the whole affair known. A meaner,
more unromantic or more vulgar scandal
than this has not stirred English society
for an age, nor one in which Jealousy has so
come to the front as the champion of viz

GRATITUDE AND THE FACTS.

1t is gratifying to find dignifed official
body like the State Board of Health COM
ing forward and acknowledging the help
fulness of the press. That Board has
most warmly expressed its thanks TO the
newspapers of the State for giving public
ity to its circulars of advice and atiording
it the means of freely addressing the pub
lie, as well as for manful stand taken by
the most of the State press on the side of
the Board in its unsuccessful effort to have
the State do its duty in the matter of pre-
cautionary action to prevent the invasion
of the State by epidemic diseases, such as
cholera, yellow fever and smallpox. Yet
it remains that, in a most contemplate
spirit of economy, the late Legislature did
point-blank refuse to give the Board the
power common prudence dictates it should
possess, in the form Of means to enable 1t
to erect barriers upon our borders i'll the
shape of quarantine stations. The truth is
that while the press generally has sus-
tanned the Board, portion of it antago-
nized the proposition for quarantine sta
tions. And it is very singular that this
opposition came wholly from San
Francisco, and was founded upon
misconception of what the Board desired.
What is more singular and unaccountable,
however, is the fact that after the matter
had been freely explained and it had been
shown conclusively that the bill called
only for inland stations, and not for quar-
antine grounds, where Chinese immigrants
could be herded and then turned loose in
violation of the Restriction Act, the San
Francisco press still opposed the bill-a
measure everyone now admits to be one of
necessity.

BEGGING THE QUESTION.

Referring 20 the drainage claims decis-
sion the San Francisco Call says: "The
Judge ignores the facts that the constitu-
tionalify OF the law was disputed from the
first, and that the work was not performed
in way to do the State any good if the
law had been declared valid" OF course,
our respected contemporary commits a
ludicrous blunder when it speaks of a
Court ignoring fact" when questions OF
law and not of fact alone were before tbs
Court, and neither the beneficial quality
nor the character of the work were
in issue. But suppose it is admitted
that to be an issue, what has that
to do with it? The work was done before
the Act was declared unconstitutional, and
after the law-making power had declared it
to be constitutional, and had invested it
with all the regalia of legality. Suppose,
for arguments sake, that the work done
was of no benefit, what has that to do with
the payment of the worker? He did not
devise the plans. His was not the scheme
1t was not by his advice that the work was
done Should the man who labored with
his teams in hauling earth to the embank-
ments, the carpenters who Joined the tim
bers, the laborers who cut the willows, the

CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSION.

IN the admiration of the steadfastness which
he maintained in the hours of his greatest
bodily suffering of the establishment at the iron
will with which he remained master of the sit
uation the while disease was gnawing away at
his vitals, we were enabled once more to gaze
on the picture of the great soldier as he was
after the conclusion of the war, which left the
Union as legacy to future generations intact
as it had been in the past.-[New Yorker lei
tung, on General Grant.
THERE is no hostile feeling among the great
mass of the people North and South. There are
some politicians in one end of the country and
the other whose stock in trade is a pretended
condition of inflammation. Their loyalty
will never be depressed until they find that they
can no longer trade upon it. No better proof of
the profound good will of the South could be
required than the sincere and eloquent express
sions of grief that come from every State south
of Mason and Dixon's line touching the death
of General Grant.-[Philadelph Record.
A PLEASURE ground is one thing, and cemc-
terry another, and the two do not merge well. In

thousands daily, but they do not go there in a
mood to be impressed by such a reminder of
mortality and heroic greatness.-[San Francisco
Alta.
INSTEAD of growing better in moral sense, in
spite of the greater enlightenment, the facts go
to show that the world is gradually worse. Its
entire social structure demands a radical pro-
cess of reconstruction, or better still, needs to
be supplanted by a new condition.-ID eseret

RUNNING TO COVER.

Precisely what was to be desired has
happened leading New York journal
has assailed the action of the committee
of the Supervisors of San Francisco that
reported upon the filthy condition of the
Chinese quarter and has augmented the
publicity of the report Now comes the
New York Herald and sneers at the find
ings. The burden of its cry is that San
Francisco should not complain of that
which she has tolerated That is to say,
if Chinatown is such stencil, the city is
responsible for having permitted it. Even
if this be admitted to have force, what
does it prove? Certainly not the desire
ableness of Chinese immigration, nor the
undesireableness of sanitary reform in the
Chinese quarters in California. 1t might
be replied that for a quarter of a century
New York tolerated the horrors and mis-
cries of give Points," but the historic
fact did not stay the hand of reform put
forth under the administration of Fernan-
do Wood. The Herald is anxious to have
California for once discuss the Chinese evil
without prejudice. All questions should
be so considered The difficulty in the
present case is, that however calmly we
may debate the subject in hand; however
cogent the reasons advanced; however
strong and convincing the proofs offered,
and however invincible the conclusions
drawn, the sentimental press of the East
insists that the California disputant is
prejudiced; that is to say, our Eastern
friends invariably beg the question by de
nying to us the capacity to debate the
matter dispassionately. For some years
the aggravating character Of the debate
has been due to this running to cover by
the opposition, There never can be any
response made to a disputant who, when
confronted with proofs and COMPOUNDED by
reason, replies "You are prejddiced." 1t
is the last resort of the defeated and the
cowardly refuge of the incompetent.

tue. Had the unexpected woman not ap-
peared the expected would never have
blazoned abroad her own dishonor. In
some respects the whole affair looks very
much like set and successful scheme on
the part of both husband and wife to en-
trap and blackmail Dixie, who muzzles the
Courts, gags the press, and comes forth in
| a clean coat of social whitewash. It is
tolerable to refer to this scandal only be-
cause of the wide publicity it has already
| gained, and because it comes on as a sequel
to recent exposures of moral corruption in
English society that read lessons to all
others. 1t serves to lay bare the methods
by which crime, when backed by wealth
and political influence, can shelter
itself beneath the mantle Of the
law. Precisely such a result is
possible under our laws-to their shame
be it said-but we do not believe that any
such processes would gag the American
press, notwithstanding that it has been
! in not a few instances brlbed INTO
silence 1t should not be possible to gag
prosecution for crime-to put the admin
istration of the law at the mercy Of whose
ever sees fit, for price, to sell it out.
Prosecution for crime should be unstable,
and even criminal libel should not be pun
ishable at the mere within of the party sup
posed to be chiefly offended. Society is
injured whenever a criminal libel is ut
| tered. In fact. it is more aggrieved than
the parties Immediately concerned. We
cannot understand why it should remain
the law that such offenses as these shall be
punishable only when given party sees

DR.. WHITAKER REPLIED TO

DR., Whitaker, of Cincinnati, has per-
mitted an interview with him to be pub
iished, in which he argues against crema-
lion. The argument of the gentleman has
been reproduced by a San Francisco jour
nal in full. There is not point" that
IS not capable of being rebutted by the
facts. The doctor has dealt with scientific
facts with freedom of truth not at all
complimentary either to his conscience or
his knowledge
A few Of these we propose to point out.
That there is nothing loathsome in pu-
treiaction in the ground" On this head
It would be sufficient to call as witness
any undertaken or sexton. The doctor al
leges that it is a myth, but cites not scin-
lilla of proof. lie admits that decempo-
sition is only slow combustion" and thus
contributes his testimony to cremation, for
1t is one of the chief claims of its disciples
that incarceration only accomplishes more
speedily the oxidation that burial brings
about after long season of horrible decay,
because of the retarding and surrounding
earth
The sequestration of grounds for GENE
teries is no objection, for IN few years
they are abandoned and converted into
parks" Where this is true it is one of
the most forcible of reasons yet advanced
for cremation. 1t proves that the senti-
ment clinging about the act of committing
the body to the bosom of mother earth is
soon violated. and that burial does not
command the respect of men for the place
Of sepulture. If the ashes of the loved
were inurned, however. the abandon
ment of a home for the dead F"
would not mean the blowing up of the
bones and the removal of decaying re-
mains. Nor in inurning are the graves
two or three deep" as is true in hosts of
cemeteries. Grimm declares that there is
not churchyard in Germany where the
graves have not been disturbed to admit
new occupants. Switzerland permits re-
moyal Of bodies after seven years, to make
room for "new dead" Germany puts the
limit at fifteen years. and France at but
1--WE.
The drift of opinion of scientific men
does not favor the belief that burial pois-
ons the ground and the water in it," The
proof Of scientific research is all the other
way. The Brazilian and United States
Commission two years ago demonstrated
that the living germs of yellow fever
swarm in grave grounds of two years vic
tins, and these germs conveyed the
disease. Our own Board of Health adj
vises that in deaths by diphtheria, small
pox and cholera, the body, prior to burial,
be SO treated or inclosed as to prevent con-
tamination of the earth. The eminent
physician Wegmann-Ercolani, in laborious
essays, proves such position as that taken
by DR.. Whitaker to be false; as also have
Siemens, Pasteur, Southwood-Smith, Sir
