Anthony Comstock, of the Ne,

Anthony Comstock, of the New
York Society for the Suppression OF
Vice, recently had number of
Philadelphia art dealers indicted for
selling alleged obscene pictures.
They were tried on Tuesday and ac-
quilted. The Judge SAID it was not
very easy to define actually what
the terms sslewd" and "obscene"
meant. Nude pictures were not
necessarily lewd or indecent. If
that were so, it would include ev-
erything, and it would include pic
lures of the most sacred kind.

Quite a number of ranchers and
stOckmen of Nevada have, during
the past few months, visited Cali
fornia for the purpose of investing

land for speculative purposes, not
one, SO far as heard from, proposes
to live here, and saying on their re-

ON Stealing Newspaper Ar.
tsc1es.

Every once in a while some paper
rises to indulge in growl about
somebody who has copied an article
from his paper and given 70 credit.
This is all nonsense. A good many
things we write look so wretchedly
commonplace to us a few days after
wards, that when we see some
damphool print them in his paper
without credit, we feel delighted
that he has shouldered the response
biIitv of the stuff, and go to bed
that night in happy and contented
frame of mind, chuckling at the
sorry joke on the other man. If a
really good thing is stolen we never
feel sad, but watch our chance un-
til the other fellow gets off some
thing good, and then we steal it
away from him, and by the simple
process of not sending him that par
ticular paper, lift the load of unhap-
piness from his tender SOU, that
might otherwise worry him into
wanting to run for the Legislature
or got a divorce from the good wife
who has suffered with him all these
long years.
Anybody can steal from this pa
per all he likes, and if we can't
steal as fast as he can, then we're
no scissors thief; that's all. Slide

The Mormon Legislature

The Mormon Legislature has
rejected the bill proposed for the
suppression of polygamy. 1t might
have been supposed that policy
would dictate different action while
the question of the admission of
Utah to the Union is pending, but
fanaticism apparently took the bit
between its teeth. With that state
of feeling prevailing, the genuine
ness of the recent avowals in con-
vention in favor of obedience to the
law becomes more r.oblemat;cal
than ever.

He Stole q Horse and Wagon.

BALrIMoREAN DRIVEN TO CRIME, HE SAYS, BIZ
THE SIGHT OF HIS STARVING FAMILY.
Sunday about noon Conrad King arrived
here from Baltimore. He had no money, but
did have q horse and wagon which did not be-
long to him. He had stolen it from the Lex
ington market, Baltimore, Saturday night.
He tried to dispose of the team, but the price
asked was 90 small that il aroused the sus-
picions Of persons to whom he offered il, and
the consequence was that he was arrested by
Officer Rather Of the sixth precinct, and locked
up. The horse and wagon belonged to Chas.
Schlitzberger. The prisoner claims that he is
book agent. He is forty-four years old.
When locked up he frankly confessed the theft,
and told pitiful story as to the cause for his
act. According to his story he had been in
hard luck recently, and Saturday night he left
his wife and children and went to market with
out penny in his pocket, with the intention of
getting something FOR his family to eat if posi-
BILE. He failed to get anything for them, and
said he could not return to his wife and little
ones without a mouthful Of provisions He
walked about the market, and thought of every
way imaginable how he might procure some
food. Finally he started home empty-handed
When he got outside the market he saw the
horse and wagon and drove of with it. If he
could sell it and raise money in that way il was
all right. and il on other hand he was caught
and sent to prison that was no worse than see-
ing his family suffering for want of something
to eat. He started from the city and was soon
ON the road to Washington. The night was
cold. He had no overcoat and was hungry.
He suffered great deal during the drive, but
his spirits were kept up, he says, because he
expected to raise sum OF money and make his
family happy once more. His hopes, however,
were not realized for before he could dispose
of the team he was arrested and locked up.
This morning he went back to Baltimore with
Detective Seibold, Of that city, without requi-
sition.

Favoritism at the Tax-Office.
To the Editor Of The EVENING star:

An exasperating and pernicious abuse pre-
walls at the Office Of the receiver Of taxes,
which the collector should at once correct I
was one Of those who this morning formed the
long line of citizens who patiently waited their
turn for an opportunity to pay taxes. During
the thirty-five minutes thus passed in waiting
noticed that the messengers, and sometimes
the clerks in the back ofice," took the bills
and money of certain favored persons, who
were averse to taking places in the line, and
passing within the railing, had the money Of
the favored parties received in advance Of
those who had been waiting for thirty or more
minutes before reaching the cashiers desk. I
protested against this unjust discrimination.
The cashier who took my money informed me
that the persons favored belonged in the
building" which was not true, and which, il
true, gave them no special privilege. The re-
ceiver OF taxes has no right to fitch time from
me and give il TO his special favorites. I was
further informed by the cashier that '.this
desk had nothing to do with it. You can make
your protest at the proper place." 1t struck
me that the proper time and place was at that
very desk and that exact moment. as il was
then and there that my rights and those Of
others we're being invaded. But as that was
not 1.-The proper place" to protest against Q
fragrant abuse of public trust, desire to
make it through The EVENING STAR, 30 that
the general public may be apprised of this vio-
lation Of their rights and that Collector Davis
may be given an opportunity to apply the
proper remedy. j. NC.

August II, 1885, she wilfully deserted him and
has not lived with him since

not entitled. Justice Hannen reserved his de-
