A New York firm of detectives advises
us by circular that if we I" wish to ascer-
tain any special facts "or have " any busi-
ness of confidential nature to he investi-
gated " they will be happy to be
favored with the job. We note the
request for the purpose of sug-
gesting that one of the growing evils of
the day turks in this detective agency busi-
ness, which is nominally conducted in aid
of the law, but really in hostility to it. De-
tectives detect by being in colluSion with
aw-breakers; and soon the day will come,
If it is not already here, when there will be
Siamese connection between detective
agencies and bodies of thieves.
There is harm in these agencies. further
more, in their invasion of the homes Of the
people, and in their leading the guleless
into crime which they may find their ac-
count in entrapping them into. There
are many ways in which the evil-disposed
Of men worry their fellowmen, and in
which they may be helped by detective
agency, scrupulous only as to the profit of
the job in hand.
Detective agencies have already earned
for themselves so doubtful reputation
that it is time for the Lawmakers to look
into the question of their benefit to the
community; and to enquire especially
whether men, whose ostensible business it
is to act as the officers of the law, should
be permitted to assume that duty without
being so in fact, and without lying under
the oath obligations and supervision
that bind the sworn officers of the law to
their duty as its champions. Should it not
be declared that the private detective
agencies are obnoxious to the law as posi-
BILE compounders of felonies, promoters of
and consorts of criminals ?

Hard 10 Reconcile.

There will be many people who will find
it hard to reconcile to their ideas of
what is right the situations Of two
criminals whose cases are now occupying
some share of the public attention. Edwin
Botheras is to be hanged on April !, for
shooting, on the streets Of Hazleton, VIM.
Nichols, for fancied wrong against his
niece. The deed was not done in cold
blood, but was admittedly the result of
passion working upon mind easily in
famed. A few weeks ago, Richard Short,
with the premeditation that is presumptive
of malice in the eyes of the law, waylaid
Captain Phelan in O'Donovan Rossa's
Office in New York and stabbed him.
That Shorts knife failed of its deadly
work was not his fault. He has never since
pretended, nor has it been contended for
him, that he did not seek the life of Phe-
Ian. All that saved the latter's life was
the accident that the knife failed to pene-
trate vital part.
Yet we find New York police justice
calmly permitting Short to leave prison ON
$4,000 bail to answer the charge Of felonious
assault, and not even held in his own recog-
nizance to keep the peace in the meantime
At the hearing Phelan asked for police
protection, which request was received
with judicial guffaw accompanied by the
remark that the state could not give him a
body guard. But the immunity this man
Short enjoys after his murderous attack
makes the favor asked nothing more than a
simple right.
And Edwin BothCras is languishing in
the Luzerne jail, awaiting the moment
when he will expiate with his life, the out
come of brief passion. There is some
thing wrong in the law that permits those
that are murderers in all that goes to make
mp the essence of the crime, and who have
failed of their intent through accident
merely. to walk the earth free men while
their more passionate, but less fortunate
brethren must pay the penalty at the end
of a rope.

THE TAMMANY DEMOCRATS of New York
do not propose TO be outdone by their
brethren of the County Democracy when
they attend the Inauguration Of Cleveland.
They will go in a style that becomes the
victors in Roman triumphal procession.
At meeting OF this organization few nights
ago it was stated that Tammany would mar
shal its braves, Ave hundred strong, headed
by a band of 100 pieces. This will entail an
expenditure of $500, or SIS per man, and
will include all the living expenses of the
trip, from midnight March to the return
March 3. Not to be outdone by Tammany
the County Democracy will turn out 5S5
men, and they have narrowed down the ex-
penses to sl2 a head. The spectacle would
be far more pleasing to their Democratic
brethren through the country it they went
to Washington a solid delegation as an
earnest that the hatchet Of discord had been
forever buried.

Burglars chlorofosm s-WeaIthy Berks County
Cattle Dealer.

George Levengood is wealthy farmer and
drover, residing at Weavertown, several
miles below Reading. Recently he sold a
large lot of cattle and ii was known that he
had great deal of money in the house
during Monday night burglars entered his
residence and ransacked the lower rooms for
money without finding any. Their object
seemed money only, for they left many yalu-

THE DEAF MUrEs OF a benevolent union in
New York were given a grand ball the other
night The orchestra played merrily away,
fair girls in bright array danced with young
men in "spike tails" but the light-hearted
laugh and the musical director calling the
figures of the dance were missing. The
silence was only broken by the music which
none of the gay dancers regarded. But it is
stated that there was tremendous amount
OF smiling and communication by signs,
which proves that the human heart needs not
words for its proper manifestation, and that
love that laughs at lock-smiths, smiles at
such an insignificant obstacle as defect in
hearing.

SOME people will wonder what public pol
icy demanded the passage of the joint reso-
luton in the United States Senate providing
for the striking of medals to commemorate
the dedication of the Washington monument
And their wonder must be increased when
they learn that ii provides that each senator
and representative in Congress shall have
one medal, and that 1000 copies shall be
struck for sale TO the public. 1t is not easy
to see why the public is not as much entitled
to medal free of charge as a congressman.
If this gratuity is the price necessary to be
paid for having the medals struck, it might
be just as well to indefinitely postpone the
striking.

THE Philadelphia Norta American has
been inquiring of the Pennsylvania and
New Jersey congressman what they think of
about redeeming the trade dollar. 1t has had
replies from ten of them, who all favor the
redemption of the dollar at par. save
perhaps Congressman-to-be IieStand, of
our town, who says that as he is not yet
a full-tledged congressman he conceives that
his views will not be influential in the pres
ent Congress, though as soon as he gets a
whack at the question he will favor any
measure that will reduce the trade dollar
" TO its original element of bullion: -
which means apparently that Mr.. Hiestand
wants to buy the dollar back as cheap as he
can get it.
