THE CHASTITY GHOUL

The Erening Post is still shrieking in its
shrillest fasetto about the newspaper ghouls
who pursue the President and ransack the
privacy of his family life. In view of the
peculiar performances of that journal in 1884
these antics of prurient prude, whose im-
morality and indecency in print were then the
talk of the town, are grotesque. Let the
Chastity Editor answer two plain questions
before he has the efirontery to establish him
self As a censor Of public morals and journal
istic manners.
1. Did not The Erening Post publish in 1884
a series of most disgusting articles on the
Buffalo scandals about the President These
articles, if we recolect them Alright discussed
various incidents of Mr.. Cleveland's private life
with marked cOarseness, indecency and imno-
rality. These articles also assumed with cynical
frankness the essential truthfulness of the
scandalous charges. We are not aware that
any of the so-caled "ghouls "pursuing the
President since his inauguration have made
even distant approach to the vulgar, immoral
and lasciyious articles about Mr.. Gle ye!and's
private life W hich then shocked the readers OF
family journal 50 long conducted by MIR. Bryant.
q Has not The kpening Post since MIR. Cleve-
lands election persisted in reviving these
scandals and dragging them into the courts
The complaint of Or. Ball in his libel suit
against that journal was drawn so as to exclude
the President from the ground of action. The
Post in its answer to the complaint widened
the scope of the pleadings as 10 bring in the
nauseating private scandals which it had dis
cussed during the Presidential canvass with
such wanton effrontery.
The President may have occasion TO pay
another Of his characteristic tributes to the
American press Let him not forget the mis-
guided and perverse Chastity GhOul Editor
who is constantly pursuing him.
New-York tribune., 1886-11-13
THE TELEPHONE CONSPIRACY.

The Government suit against the Bell Com
pany has been dismissed because 1T was not
instituted in district where the Federal courts
have jurisdiction. 1t is an open secret that
the counsel emplo, ed by the Department of
Justice were divided in opinion respecting this
primary question of jurisdiction. Some of the
eminent lawyers believed that the case would
be thrown out Of court in Ohio and advised
that.the issue should be joined in Massachu-
setts. Why was Ohio preferred when the ques-
ton of jurisdiction was in dOubtf Since the
expense of the litigation was Likely to be con-
siderable-Judge Ranney in his report assumes
that $500, 900 would be required, II the case
were to be tri I'd on Its merits-why were time
and money wasted in arguing an unnecessary
question of Jurisdiction
The answer lies in the records of the United
States courts in the Massachusetts. District.
Every question at issue in the Government suit
with the possible exception of that of fraud
and collision of Patent Office examiners in OBJ
tanning the Bell PATENT had been argued in the
Federal courts. la every instance the patent
had been sustained in Massachusetts,. If the
Department of Justice were to place its official
resources and political influence at the disposal
of the telephone spectators, some other Gis-
trct had to be selected, because the Govern
ment would have had only slender chance of
success in the Massachusetts District. The
Department of Justice did what it could to
promote the spectators interests. 1t hired
expensive counsel, proceeded with great delib-
Grafton, and carefully selected the tribunal
where its case could be heard to the best adj
vantage Its most strenuous efforts to vlndlcate
its own reputation and to break down the Bell
patents in the interest of the Casey Young
Van Benthuysen conspirators have been utterly
baffled.
What course is now open to the Pan Electric
lntriguers of the Departments OF Justice and
the Interior? Apparently they will halt until
the six telephone cases now on the calendar OF
the United States Supreme Court are argued
next January. But why was not this policy OF
delay followed at the outset I Why was the
Government suit brought at ALL when 1T was
within the power of the Department OF Justice
to advance the telephone cases on the Calendar
of the highest court 7 Each of the petitioners
for thai suit could have been given an oppor-
tnnity to prove in existing ltigations the
charges preferred against the Bell Company.
But this orderly course of procedure did not
accord with the private speculatOns Of The
business partners Of Mr.. Garland. They in
sisted upon banking upon the Official station
of the head of the Department of Justice and
the political influence of the Administration.

PROMPT ACTION NECESSARY.


The Aqueduct Commission ought not to
delay in taking measures to enforce It's orders
providing for the proper lighting and ventila-
ton of the shafts and tunnels of the new Aque-
duct 1t is scandalOus that this should con-
tinuc to be matter of complaint so long after
the report of the State Board of Health on the
subject. Not only has the health of the em-
plOyes been injuriOusly affected, but the
proper inspection Of the work has been pre-
vented through this neglect on the part of
contractors. Many Of the large number of
deaths which have occurred in the shafts and
tunnels are also traceable to this cause. In
eleven months there were ninety seven acci-
dents, sixty three of which were fatal. In the
same length of time in Pennsylvania coal
mines which employ nearly twice as many
men, there were not one-third as many deaths.
The State Board Of Health reported that
large number of the fatal accidents could have
been prevented by the use of proper appliances.
Months ago the Aqueduct Commissioners
ordered the contractors to cary out certain of
.he recommendations Of the State Board of
Health. Some Of the contractors have refused
to do it. The Commission has authority under
the contracts to require this to be done. 1t
now has the subject under advsement, but the
frequency with which accidents are still taking
place, and the complaints of employ es, ought
20 hasten its decision. There has been long
enough delay in this matter. The honor OF
the city and the welfare of those concerned
demand prompt action.

than generation quick, simple method OF
clearance, com no1 to all great shipping ports,
has obtained here.
But the up-country lawyer who N MIR. Cleve-
land fshed out Of the interior of the State to
run New-York's great maritime and customs
service has been nosing around among ancient
tones for some Jefferson simplicity, and has
discovered this old law. lie has sprung it on
all the shipping companies. with the notice
that they mnst hereafter conform to it. It is
useless for them to explain that shipping con-
ditions in 1886 are wholly different from those
of 1893; that such plan will cost them
thousands of dollars, and delay them to the
public's aud their own lasting injury. Collector
Masone assumes Jeffersonian attitude and
saws, aThis is the law, and while am here 1t
must be obeyed" Mr.. Magone ought to know
that common sense is above even decayed
law, that there are hundreds of unrepealed
laws on the English statute books, the pi esent
enforcement of which would recall tke Dark
Ages. Custom is law. 1t is childish to con-
tend that any confusion would result from the
Interpretation of law in the light of world
wide custom and present conditions.
Secretary Manning should instruct Mr..
Magone to stop his nonsense and conduct the
public business without regard to practices
that obtained before the food.
New-York tribune., 1886-11-13
OUR JEFFERSONIAN COLLECTOR.

Collector Magone's controversy with the
steamship companies is entirely unnecessary
and unreasonable. 1t is part and parcel with
the stupid Democratic idea that the way to
reform things is to revive antediluvian customs
to the ANNOYANCE and discomfort of everybody.
This is Jeffersonian. 1t is coming back to
the good old methods of our simpler days. Just
before this century began and long before steam
ocean navigation was heard of, tho law was
made for the clearance of vessels. 1t has never
been repealed. but the exigencies of advancing
civilization have modified it, and for far more

of grudges to satisfy. While thoy are quarrel
ling the Republicans can occupy themselves In
considering what reduction of taxes they could
effect IL they had been intrusted with power.
They could safely abolish all duties on sugar
and all taxes on tobacco, amounting to about
$50, 100000; lot us see whether the Dem
ocrats can do as well.
Louisiana planters would object to the repeal
of the duty on sugar, but they have Just elected
another unbroken Democratic delegation by
suppressing The votes of a majority OF the
people of that State. 1t is not encouraging I or
the people of other States to tax themselves
any longer for the exclusive benefit of Lousi-
ana planters, who trample upon tho laws of the
United States In order to give political power
to free-trade party. On the other hand, the
voters of Virginia and North Carolina, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, have shown growing
attraction to the Republican policy OF protec-
ton. 1t would be to them very welcome thing
to have the internal tax on tobacco abolished.
and the Republicans, if they were entrusted
with responsibility, could make that change
with safety. An increase of the duty on tin
plates, on steel wire rods and ingots, and
restoration of the duties on wool, would also
be natural parts of Republican policy, so that
home industry should be encouraged as well
by better defence against foreign competition
as by lessening of burdens What policy
equally beneficial can the Democratic majority
