Mr. Heard has written letter to
the Sedalia Democrat.-who'd have
thought so a year sgo?-in which he
"explains" his votes on the bills to
pension Mrs Grant and Mrs. Hancock
by arguing that one was protected by
precedent while the other is not.
Our Congressman is not good at ex-
plantations, and his latest is not hap
Ply one. He takes occasion in this
letter 10 expose what he calls the
demagoguery of his critic. Being
himself one of the mildest hammered
men that ever helped to disfranchise
his acknowledgements by wholesale
or capture county delegation, Mr..
Heard is of course full of solictude
when complaints are made concerning
his record and character as a politi-
clan or a legislator; and he is one of
the busiest explainers we know of. -

a story of pedal exploit has been
current a m nth in high society.
The account said that there was
merry party at a fashionable restau-
rant. three of the company being
maidens OF beauty, and some renown
as bellies. All were married. sever
al of the liveliest, most sentimental,
highly absorbent of alteration, are
husbanded already. The converse
ton turned accidently on pretty feet.
Somebody suggested competitive ex
animation of the feet of the three
beauties. A great deal of wine had
been drunk. They consented. A
convenient pOrtiere screened the wo-
men, except their barred feet, and the
jury awarded pair of carriers to the
owner of the pair deemed the lowell
est. This was an actual incident.
The names could be given and they
belong to respected and respectable
families. Of course, there was moth
ing positively wicked or even immoi-
est in the thing, but it shows that the
extremely pretentious circles of New
York are as apt as the rest of us to
do curious fe Is for fun.--AlbaDy

The strike Of the sugar refners iii
Brooklyn, f. d., has ended as all
such unequal and unwise contests
must end. The strikers have surren-
dered Internationally, and have asked
for work, Those who are taken back
Twill be paid s1,45 a day instead Of
s1.35 as formerly, the hours Of labor
will be more reasonable, and payments
will be maid twice a month; but what
the men struck for practically was re-
cognition of the right of their union
to dictate terms, and there they haven
failed. The folly of striking has sci

workers. New York Tribune.
An anarchist paper complains Bit
terly that censorship has been exer.
cised over the Chicago anarchist or
gan, the Arbeiter Zeitung, and APP
peals to the constitution of the United
States in support of Its position. The
answer to all such talk is that those
who put themselves outside the pale
of law have no right to appeal to the
law for protection. Further than
this, the law can never be invoked in
aid of lawlessness. The Arbeiter
Zeitung was a journal the whole and
sole object of which was TO incite its
readers to break the law and commit
the most atrocious crimes against So
ciety. No such sheet is entitled to
seek the shelter of the constitution.
Its relation to the community is not
that of a legitimate business under
taking, but that of an avowedly
criminal enterprise, the restriction or,
if need be, the suppression of which
should be regarded as simply police
measure, necessary for the security of
the public. The time has come when
the absurd belief of foreign anarch-
lists that freedom implies the right to
attack the foundations of society, and /
to defy all law and all morality must !
be swept away. Ordered liberty |
alone is what the constitution and the |
laws provide for, and those who can.
