Mr.. STEAD, the editor of the PGU Maa
Gazette, who moved London to st least a
consideration of the reforms necessary to
prevent the corruption of young girls by
salacious old beasts, has got himself into a
very bad box, and if he escapes going to
prison to break stone it will only be through
the clemency of QIeen Victoria, who is
much interested in the good work he ac-
com2lishsd. He should have been satis-
fed with that work and not weakly have
had recourse TO questionable methods to
prove his case. There can be no DOUBT,
we think, of Mr.. Stesd's guiltlessu15o 4
good faith in the matter of the Armstrong
9irl. but such an experiment was not neces-
sary TO prove ais case, which was sufii-
ciently strong without it. Before the Law
he is as guilty of procuring girl child for
lewd purposes as any Of the old roues he
referred to so eloqusntiy in his articles.

TIE canvass in Mississippi is very dub

been fairly launched yet in New York.
But in Ohio and Virginia it is increasing

Democrats have encountered letter OF

ESTA ABLISHED 1910.

The Valley road, as the Louisville, New
Orleans and Texas railroad is called, would
find it money in its purse to put on daily
train from Arkansas City to this city.
The people of the country intervening are
anxious to trade with Memphis, and would
do so if only half way encouraged. They
are our friends, and, we think, should be
induced to visit US and buy of us. Be-
sides, the Valley road will find larger
measure of profit in doing so than it can
by working in the interest of New Orleans.
The more cotton it brings to Memphis, the
more it increases the chances for an in
crease of freight on its longest haul, be-
tween this city and Chesapeake bay. 1t
would thus profit both ways, and would
help the city which is in time to be its
best customer

Washington special: sit has just been
ascertained that some of the clerks who
have been removed from the Treasury De-

they persisted in incurring debts and in q
refusal to pay the same. Now that it has

of them are in a state of trepidation. There

given up the idea of collecting debts from

sgenent to merchants in this respect

were graliied upon receiving portions OF
