ANTHONY CoMsTocK, who is paid &, 900 a
year, by the society of very laudable purpose,
to suppress obscene literature, challenged all
comers to "find case, or name a case, where
the action OF this society has not been justified
by the surrounding circumstances" He was
picked up by critic who wants to know
why he does not suppress such flash publica-
tons as the Police Gazette, thatare Extensively
distributed broadcast, while Comstock pokes
his nose into old reputable book stores and
art collections, TO spy out rare prints that the
young and guileless are never allowed to see.
The society recently made lmpertinent inter-
ference with the publication of limited
number of copies of the so-called Arabian
Nights Entertainments" The subscribers
were made up of merchants, lawyers, judges,
editors and other professional and business
men OF literary taste, whom Mr.. Comstock
classes as corruptible YOUTH The book
was not displayed, single copies could not be
bought and the corruptible youth of the
city had no access to it The classic was in
tended simply to enrich the private libraries
OF wealthy connoisseurs Mr.. Comstock's
agent enters his name as a subscriber, finds
after the second volume is sent him that it
endangers the morals of the girls and boys of
the city, and threatens to prosecute the local
agent If any more copies are issued. The
publication is thus stopped, while the news
stands abound with the most vicious periodi-
calls freely sold everywhere.

MIR. Hsy Coming nack to work.

1t has been rumored for several days that
Mr.. Hay, the first assistant postmaster gen.
eral, who has been i'm Florida for the benefit
of his health ever since he was appointed,
would be unable to assume the duties of his
Office, and it has also been stated that Penn
sylvania Democrats, believing that he would
resign, were already urging the appointment
of fex-Congressman Mutchler, of Pennsylva-
mia, to succeed him. Postmaster General
Villas said to an Associated Press reporter on
Tuesday night that the rumor was incorrect
in this instance; that he had received letter
from Mr.. Hay, in which the latter informed
him that his health is greatly improved and
that he will be in Washington on Thursday
or Friday of this week. Mr.. Villas said that
the question of Mr.. Hays physical ability to
perform his duties could only be determined
by himself, and that he (Vilas) had received
no intimation from him that he was not sutfi-
ciently recovered to assume the duties of his
Office. He declined to say anything with re-
spect to the rumOr concerning Mr.. Mutchler
except that he (Vilas)was concerned only as
to one first assistant and was not troubling
himself about any other man for the office.

SOME of the spiritualists arc not satisfied
with the experiments that are being made by
the commission under the auspices of the
University of Pennsylvania, TO test the truth
of modern spiritualism, which Investigations
were the condition Of receiving the 100000
bequeathed to the university by the late
Henry Seybert- OF deceased's friends and
co-spiritualists, Thomas Il. Hazard writes to
the newspapers that some of the scientific in
vestigators are strongly biased and publicly
committed against the verify Of spirtualism,
and hence are disqualified from giving it a
fair trial. If his facts are true the exception
to tho personnel of tho commission seems to
be well taken. On the other hand IL
will not do ut all to take the evi-
dence of the spiritualists themselves as
to scientific phenomena AS rule they
are the most credulous and gullible OF
mortals. Any ordinary sleight of hand per-
former can fool them and utterly deceive
their senses. Cool-headed aud fair-mnded
scientists are the persons for this work, and
the university should not miss its chance To
have it done in a manner that will be cred.
liable to itself and satisfactory to the public,
ifnot convincing to the spiritualists.

Esteems the Constitution.

The Ne,c Era would have the public to
believe that its readers in general and the
Lancaster county members in particular,
ought to have known that it was in favor
of the anti-discrimination bill, because the
constitution of the state enjoins such legis-
lation and, although the " Ne,o Era was
not in existence when this constitution was
adopted" " its editor, in the journal he
then controlled, was one of the most earn
est advocates of the reforms it contempla-
ted" " 1t was reasonable it thinks, "to
suppose that any person aspiring to seat
in the legislature and able to convince an
intelligent constituency that he was quail
fled to fill it, would know what was in the
constitution he must solemnly swear to
support, obey and defend.' F."
We give our esteemed contemporary the
benefit of this explanation of its silence for
eight years, content TO welcome it at last
to the ranks of those journals which be-
lieve that when legislators are faithless to
their sworn constitutional duties, journal
istic exponents of healthy public senti-
ment should make it known to them.
neaSOnaDle us IL lS to expect leSiSisi'
tors to know their duties and to do them,
the melancholy fact is that they ignore
them and shamelessly misrepresent theiI
constituents, as the Ne,o Era has frequent.
ly borne weighty witness. 1t may or may
not be news to it, that even judges do not
know or at least do not observe the law.
Despite the fact that Section 8, Article
XVII, of the new constitution, which the
editor Of the Nep Era reverences, forbids
the grant by any railroad of free passes
Pennsylvania has seen the sorry spectacle
even since the Neto Era was established
of some of its supreme judges riding on
free passes to the court in which they were
to try cases that the grantor of their
passes was a party to.

A Delegation Of Duty.

A committee of the local posts of the
Grand Army Of the Republic has waited
upon the county commissioners and asked
shat their posts be allowed to name for this
city the suitable persons "in each township
and ward of the county, at the expense of
the county, to look after, bury, and pro-
vide headstone for the body of any hon
orably discharged soldier, sailor, or marine
who served in the army or navy of the
United States during the late rebellion or
any preceding war, and shall hereafter die
in the county, leaving insufficient means to
lefray the necessary burial expenses. !"
And the commissioners are said to have
delegated their authority andresponsibility
in such cases to the local posts of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
We trust that the commissioners have
done no such thing /; or that, if they have
done SO, they will reconsider it. For such
action would be utterly wrong and indie
fensible.
The Grand Army of the Republic, hav
ing previously undertaken TO bury such ex
soldiers as died in INDECENT circumstances
have seen fit TO shake off that responsbilit,
and to transfer it to the counties. The.
have clamorously demanded and inconsid
erately secured legislation making it tn
duty of suitable persons" appointed b.
the commissioners to do this. Now'let tn
commissioners select and appoint these me-
themselves, and pick out suitable" pei
sons, of discretion and judgment, VIII
shall in each case determine whether or nc
it is such one as the law contemplate
II the county commissioners do not fe'
themselves competent to find suitable pc
sons they'had better resign and allow me

for them. The request of the Grand Arm
is impudent; to grant it would be imbecil

IT was nearly time to turn the rascals out

IT was nearly time to turn the rascals out
of the agricultural department Commits
sioner Coleman, the successor of DIR. Loring,
who vainly hoped to make his office a cabi-
net one, finds that the money for the de-
partment that should have lasted until next
July is entirely expended. The salaries for
the intervening period cannot be paid. 1t is
declared that Loring is not responsible for
this state of affairs, but that it is due to his
rascally subordinates in whom he implicitly
relied. This, however, does not not excuse
Loring. 1t was his business to have honest
men about him, and If with good intentions
he did not get subordinates of this stamp, it
was his bounden obligation to see that the
interests OF his department were well cared
for He did not do this and consequently
his department is embarrassed. There is
good ground here for criminal prosecution.

Escaped Conyiets Armed With Royolycrs


Latest advices from Clay's plantation, at
Brennan, Tex, tho scene Of tho recent
wholesale escape of convicts, is Ia the effect
that quito a number have been captured,
while others have surrendered. From these
it is learned that the escape was not pre-
meditated affair upon the part of the convicts
and that the two strangers who instigated
and aided in the escape of the convicts
brought with them at least twenty revolyers
and twelve Winchester rifles. The returned
yicts say that it is the determination of
those at large not TO be captured and il will
be folly for the officers To attempt their ar
rest without long range guns, unless they
can get them cornered. The gang of twenty
or more convicts still at large were at last
accounts heading for Western Texas and are
changing their convict clothing at every OPP
portunity. When the convicts left the planta-
ton they carried with them six good shotguns
and five revolvers, and those not mounted
on mules or horses belonging to the planta-
ton took horses, mules and arms from the
farmers as they retreated from the Brazos
river.
large number of the escaped convicts
still at large are criminals from Western
Texas and they are desperate men and will
fight to the last before they will surrender.
The country through which they are passing
is throughIy aroused and news of a bloody
conflict with the outlaws is almost hourly
auticiDated.

Don't Fool With Facts.

Congressman William ID. Kelley pro-
nounces Gen. McClellan's Century article
on the Peninsular campaign ga tissue of
evasions, equivocation and bold prevarica-
tion." He says, that he is preparing an an
swer to it, but, before making it public
he will wait for the generals second article
to see if he takes back or corrects some of
the malicious statements and egregious
blunders."
Mr.. Kelley does well to halt and take
breath before he proceeds with his pur-
pose.
Gen. Mcclellan writes with the easy,
confident air Of a man who knows what he
writes about, and his statements are made
largely upon his own personal knowledge
and experience. When he says that Stan
ton told him thus and SO, and that Lincoln
said this and that, We venture that Mr.
Kelley will find it difficult to gainsay his
statements.
That McClellan's article discloses STAN
ton to have been creature of base du-
plicity and bitter animosities should create
no wonder even in the mind of Judge
Kelley. All that was proved years ago out
or Stanton's own mouth and over his own
signature. The evidence of it has been
steadily accommodating. Asto Mr.. Lincoln,
there are no fiercer diatribes against him on
the record than Stanton's. If Kelley is
determined that his memory shall not be
tarnished, he will have to erase some Of
Stanton's own letters and sayings. That
ne came to exercise an undue and malign
Ynhuence over Lincoln is too well known;
and is the only excuse that can be given for
some of the eccentric acts of that admins
tration.
Heretofore those who have essayed the
defense of Stanton have only made his case
worse. Kelley had better take warning.
