THE New Orleans Christian Advocate
does not approve of selling fruit on Sun
day as medicine. 1t says: This is
certainly a most remarkable proceeding.
That law of the land, passed by the
chosen representatives of the people in
general assembly convened, and duly
promulgated and then passed upon by
the supreme court as constitutional in
its provisions, should be set aside as to
some of its inhibitions by the mayor Of
the city and the district attorney upon
the certificate of half-dozen physicians
is surely a most extraordinary thing!
But that is not all. If one law may be
suspended upon the certificate of few
persons that some of its provisions work
hard upon certain class, then all laws
may be suspended, for there is no laws
hat does not bear hard npon somebody.
The wedge has entered! Alasl for the
Sunday law! Alas! for all law!'

WILLIAM BLACK is pictured tightly
built, 1.-THE Of limb, strong in the arm,
capable of great physical endurance,
nevertheless below the medium height.
Short black hair, thick brown mus
tache, dark hazel eve, firm mouth,
a square forehead. Black gives you
the idea of compact strength-a small
parcel, 50 to speak, well packed. You
might sooner take him for an artillery
officer who had seen service, yachts
man, or man who spent most of his
life in outdoor sports and pastimes than
set him down as an author, and parti-
cularly as a novelist.

CLERGYMEN AND THE STATE SENATE

CLERG YMEN And THE STATE SENATE.
A few mornings since a minister who opened
session Of the State Senate prayed in fervent
but general terms against certain iniquities Of
current politics But although he mentioned no
names the leaders of the minority in the Senate
construed his petition as a reflection upon the
Democratic party Accordingly no sooner was
the prayer ended than certain Of them rose and
directed quantity Of imprecatory observations
at the chaplain. These Senators evidently be-
lieved that the shoe fitted the Democratic party,
and they lost no time in bringing that fact
TO the attention Of their fellow members on the
Republican side
In order that no other minister during the
session may thus hurt the feelings OF Democratic
Senators, it might, perhaps, be well for the Clerk

THRIFT COMPROMISE.

The talk Of arranging n compromise Tariff
bill. upon which both the House and the Sen
ate can agree. belongs to the unreal atmOs-
phere Of Washington That diseased imag-
nation which mere politicians, who scarcely
ever think Of patriotism, craftsmanship or
duty, are apt to possess, often creates such de-
vices for compromising away rugged issue
Just as some Union savers" in 86l prattled
about amendments Of the Constitution long
after sensible men had learned that war was
inevitable President Cleveland obeyed the
South in forcing the issue between protection
and free trade. The South having been beaten
at the ball0t-bOx, some people are exceedingly
anxious TO compromise away the victory Of
the North as far as they can. But part Of
the Free Traders, to their credit be it said,
recognize that the Nation must choose between
a distinctly protective and distinctly non
protective tariff, and that the sooner it has OPP
portunity to make final choice, with full
understanding of the issue, the better.
Any patchwork bill which could be passed,
il Republicans arc honest in upholding pro-
lection and Democrats are honest in opposing
il, must OF necessity be an offence to both par
ties, discredt TO the Nation, and a useless
disturbance to business. For it could not
stand without change, and the foolishness of
changing the revenue laws once in March,
when it is known that they must again be
changed in April or May, is sufficiently obvious
Mere reduction Of revenue is not tho only thing
necessary. The tariff needs to be so changed
that it shall be more consistent either with
protective principles or with the principles Of
Free Traders. The people have decided which
way the change shall be, and il speedy
session of Congress is required for other rea-
sons, will expect to see that duty attended to
also.
The House, for instance, could not be
brought TO vote for more thorough protective
duty on wool, after having voted to admit
wool free of duty. SO much may be presumed.
What would be the consequence to the Repub-
lican party in wool-growing States Of the West
IL the change which is necessary TO save that
industry should be dismissed TO the distant
future? The issue has to be faced, and there
can never be a better time than the present to
demonstrate that as lower duties both for wool
and for woollens have brought disaster alike
to growers and to manufacturers, so more
effective duties for wool and for woolens
will bring greater prosperity alike to
growers and TO manufacturers. The
situation is the same regarding the tin plate
duty, which promises largely increased de-
mand for American labor. Having the issue
definitely raised by the action Of the Senate, it
would be not helpful for the Republican party
to refuse the application of it's aVowed prin-
cples.
II would be the object Of Democratic COM

rur spYS REVELATIONS.

The revelations of the Government spy be-
fore the Parnell Commission have opened What
is called the American branch OF the case.
LIE Caron has been employed for many years
in secret service for the British authorities.
He has joined every extreme organization IN
the United States to which he could obtain
admission, and has made reports to the Home
Government Of everything that has fallen
under his eyes. He processes to have wormed
his way into all the secrets OF Fenian or
ganizers and dynamite fends, and to have
Systematically betrayed the confidence OF his
fellow-conspirators So adroit and unscrupu-
lous a spy would be a formidable witness
against Mr.. Parnell if criminal agencies had
been employed by the Nationalist During
his protracted sojouTn in the United States he
had unrivalled opportunities for ascertaining
what the force party" in its various secret
sections and cabals was doing; and il the Irish
leader and the Home Rulers had been conspir-
ing with desperadoes and revoluionists he
would have found it out. But when he at
tempts to connect his recitals Of Fenian plots
and dynamite broodings with the Irish mem
bers Of Parliament, he blesses like BALKAN
those whom he would curse His testimony
on that critical point is too fimsy to be serious
ly discussed. Even if the witness did have
the innocent conversation with Mr. Parnell
which he has repeated, it does not prove that
there was any guilty knowledge on the part
of the Irish members Of the guilty transactions
of the various secret organizations to which
the spy belonged.
The Attorney General was forced yesterday
to admit that he had never been prepared tc
prove that the Home Rule leaders were per-
sonally connected with murderous outrages
His sole contention was that they were allied
with criminal agents whose real character they
ought to have known and presumably sus-
pected If the case against Mr.. Parnell re-
solves itself into what he ought to have known
rather than what he actually said and did, II
may as well be abandoned outright :" The
| London Times" with all the resources of the
Government and the secret service at its com
mand, seeks to establish its case by exhibit

nromisers, at least, TO stave of any definite
action on the tariff question, first, by reduc-
tions of revenue which would leave the main
issue untouched, and then by the plea than
further changes of the revenue laws are not
needed. Could they succeed in this they would
not fail to attribute to the protective tariff all
the evils which result from its defects, and
would certainly taunt Republicans in future
campaigns because, protesting to believe pro
tectim beneficial, they do not dare to put 1t
into practical operation with respect to tin
plates, wool and other items Unless Repub-
licans at Washington entirely fail to compre-
bend the wishes of Republicans throughout the
country, this pleasant Democratic scheme will
end IS Mr.. Cleveland did, in defeat.

NOPE 1RODT THE SCHOOLS.

TIE report of the committee of the Public
EDUCATION Society presented in the form Of a
memorial to the Board of Education, is doc
umeit which ought to be placed in the hands
of every taxpayer. We are glad to observe
that the original suggestion of legislative
committee to investigate and reform the school
system, which THE TRIBUNE condemned as
soon as it was proposed as an injudicious and
impractical project has been abandoned. The
memorial now recommends the appointment of
commission (for which perhaps the sanction
and authority of the Legislature would be
necessary composed of citizens who are quail
fled by character and training to cooperate
with the Board of Education in revising and
codiiying the school laws and reforming the
school system. 1t is understood that the COM
mittee of the Board which has recently made
searching inquiry and valuable report and
which has now agreed to important modiiica-
tions of it's own plan, is not ayerse to this, and
II the full Board is willing to work in harmony
with such commission the result OF their
Joint labors could scarcely fail to be Of great
public value.
Apart from specific recommendations this
latest exposure Of the wretched conditions to
which. the school children Of this city are sub
jected is an effective confirmation and embodi-
ment of the charges which have long been cir
cuated in private conversation and deSultory
letters in the newspaper press by parents who
have had the facts unhapply brought homo
to them, and by many others who have taken
the pains to understand the situation. There
Is no longer room for doubt that the existing
system is responsible for an enormous waste Of
money, time and opportunity, and for lam
entable sacrifice of health and ambition. 1t
is neither easy TO distribute the blame for this
state Of things, nor is it now profitable to make
the attempt. Fortunately the truth is gen
orally recognized that many things are wrong
and that something ought to be done at once.
The public, moreover, was never before in
possession Of so much information on the sub
ject, and for that reason 1t can be said that a
good beginning has already been made. We
should be glad TO see those who have gra-
tuitously devoted time and energy to the ex-
posure Of these defects and abuses encouraged
and their labor rendered more fruitful by a
still more emphatic demonstration II popular
interest than has yet been made.
