cleapsed; / prsS that good may come
from this horrible exposure, which incl

THE AUTHORITIES DEFfgD BY THE
GAZETTE
The Pail Mall Gazette in one of its
later afternoon editions bids defiance to
| the authorities who are engaged in the
| work of attempting to suppress the sale
of the past three days issues of the
paper. 1t claims honor for leading in
the cause of exposing the vices of the
rich, and declares that the best men of
| England enthusiastically support it in
| its crusade. The Gazette challenges the
courts of London to prosecute it for the
work it is engaged in, and says it might
subpoena half of the Legislature of
England prove the accuracy of its
| revelati The Gazette continues to-
day the..sor of adding to its revelations
The paper is selling at great premium
and the circulation is enormous.
THE ARTICLES OF THE PAIL MALL GA
| ZETTE
are the topic of conversation everywhere.
Cavendish Bentinck has given notice
that he will ask the Home Secretary if
the pf6prietors cannot be prosecuted.
He is the man who recently said in the
House of Commons: Il do not profess
to be moral man." 1t is said orders
have been given at Marlborough House
the residence of the Prince of Wales
that the Pail Mall Gazette is never to
be admitted there again. Everybody
who speaks of this smiles for obvious
reasons. The general opinion is that the
articles will do harm to the Gazette as
paper, as its method is too sensational
but much admiration is expressed in ad-
vanced circles at the courage of the
editor and proprietor.
