BY the term vicious we do not mean
those that advocate violent reform meas
ures or any radical changes in manners
or in customs. We refer solely to such
papers as print sensational news, chiefly
that which sets youthful minds aflame
with improper desires, and instead of
elevating their morals, degrades them.
Base stories of elopements, divorces,
sometimes coupled with murder, theft
and other crimes, the perusal of which
week after week makes the readers of
such cases well acquainted with crimes
and misdemeanors they should be en-
tirely ignorant of. Their advocates and
supporters say that making such affairs
public deters others from committing
them, and it is but proper that vice
should be exposed that the unwary may
be warned. Nonsense Who ever
heard of any one refraining to commit
crime lest it should become public. Or
who that has committed crimes and ex-
cesses fears the publicity of his acts.
They may dread the punshmet but not
the notoriety it brings them. No, these
papers are gotten up with a different
purpose than that of showing the malig-
nifty of violating law. They cater to
depraved natures, and the public that
supports them is at fault. Some are
illustrated, some are not. The latter
have as evil an effect as the former.
The parents that permit such papers to
enter their homes have a good deal to
answer for.-EG.

The new ballot law in Massachusetts
will receive its first practical application
at the state election of this year, and
much will depend upon its successful
working. Politicians and election officers
who would like to see it fail might be
able to contribute somewhat to the result
if there was nobody to watch them or to
look out for proper efforts to make the
new system a success. Realizing this
fact, friends of the reform in Massachu-
setts have formed a Ballot-Act League,
the object of which is to see that none of
the steps for making the provisions of
the law effective are ovelooked or neg
lected. 1t will look after the preparation
of the proper forms for nominations,
ballots, etc, the plans for polling arrange
ments, the information of election
officers and political committees, and in
general will see that the work is done,
that is necessary to put the reform into
successful operation at the start. 1t is a
most desirable organization, and the
friends of the reform in other states that
have passed laws regulating the ballot
will do well to follow the Massachusetts
example, and look after their proper
execution.-N. Y. Times.

Ir is astonishing with what rapidity
labor and reform papers are springing
into existence. We know that it
would astonish the great majority of
our readers, for we know it astonlshes
us. The Single Tax movement is
taking like wild fire, and the more the
people knows of it the more contagious
it becomes. Old Greenbackers, Anti
Monopolists, Union Labor men,
knights of Labor and Alliance men
are looking into the subject. Even
Democrats and Republicans, who have
investigated the matter at all, admit
the justice of it. 1t is all anti-mono-
Poly-in behalf of the many as against
the very few. 1t works injustice to
none.-Ihe NonpU'eM

The Government, it is reported, has
contracted for $50, 900 enameled bricks
of English make to be used in the
construction of the Congressional
Library building. OF course, the
Government will not have to pay the
tariff duty on imported bricks for its
own use; that burden is only laid on
the bricks made for or imported by
other builders. But if the encourage
ment of the home industry and the
employment of our own brickmakers
are objects to which the Government
forces everybody else to contribute,
why does it turn tail on it's own policy
when buying bricks for itself? The
brickmakers of Philadelphia, who
think they make bricks good enough
for Government structures, are some
what puzzled by the antics of this
High Tariff Administration.-Re Record.

The Scranton Truth, situated as it
is in the midst of protected industries,
has opened its eyes to the fact that
protection is nothing more or less
than one-sided iniquity. In recent
editorial it says:
The Truth has been an ardent admirer
of the doctrine of protection because it
honestly believed that it was best for the
workingmen; but if labor is to be denied
its share of the profits arising from this
economic system, and monopoly is to use
it merely as campaign cry to be forgot
ten as soon as the votes are counted, we
will have no scruples about denouncing
it at the very first opportunity when de-
nunciation can be made effective.

THAT charitable aphorism, to speak
no i'll of the dead, has been generally
observed in the case of ex-United
States Senator Simon Cameron, who
passed quietly away from this life at
Harrisburg last week. But those
papers that throw the mantle of char
lty over the person of the deceased in
kindness to his relatives, should not
forget that they owe a greater duty
to the living than to the dead. Simon

goes, his career as Secretary of War
which compelled President Lincoln to
demand his resignation, his bare faced

the United States Senate, and the
authorship of an infamous system of
politics bribery and bull-dozing-
which continues in force to this dav,
are matters of public Importance and
should receive the condemnation of

The Dogs in Glover.

1t is estimated that there are at this
very moment 20,000,0O0 dogs in the
United States. Now it is plain that no
dog can be boarded for less than three
cents per day, which would run the keep
of every dog to at least ten dollars per
annum, or $40, 900, 900 for all the dogs in
the land. What is worse most of these
dogs are absolutely useless. The money
required to feed this enormous kennel
would give 100000 families $500 each
every, year. Just think of the vast
wealth daily thrown to the dogsl

The legislature of Michigan on
Saturday decided to place that state
in the ranks of those which have
passed laws for the purifcation and
secrecy of the ballot-box A new law,
embodying the most important fea-
lures of the Australian system, was
adopted and will be tried at the next
election. Pennsylvania's prospects of
adopting this much-needed reform
are not very encouraging, as Quay
has said it is not needed in this state.

INDIANA passed law to prevent
the sale Of Chicago dressed beef in
that state and the courts have declar-
ed it unconstitutional. Free trade
between the several states is one OF
the first principles of the United
States Constitution, and has been the
most powerful factor in advancing the
nation to what it is today. If free
trade between states has accomplished
so much good, would not free trade
between nations accomplish consider
able more?

For years have sold drugs in Kansas and Missouri, with large experience in selling patent medicines, and bear testimony to the remarkable efficacy of Swift's Specific. It cured more people of contagious blood poison than any other medicine that ever sold, and I have sold all kinds. One man (whose ad- dress I will give to those who wish it) had his hair all taken out by contagious blood poison. Scales came all over his head, face and body. His bones finally became involved, and he went from bad to worse under the ordinary treatment. This man was cured sound and well by s. s. I could name dozens of the worst cases who were cured of all sorts of blood diseases by S. s. s. after exhausting all other treatment.

 They had been there only few minutes when Mir. Petit discovered that he had a "bite." The oarsman cautioned him about losing the huge fish, for that is what it appeared to be, and rowed to an island near by, where both men were unable to pull the fish ashore. MT. Petit tied the line to a tree and then came to the Park Hotel, in company with the oarsman, where number of men and steam yacht was procured to go and get the fish. The party immediately proceeded to the spot only to find the fish, tree and island had all disap

for the tragic role, while no better
conception could be had for the true

than Mr.. Wood. Miss Stover also
made splendid impression when her
part required the pathetic or the

The "Kicker's" Grocery Store a Success

Several months ago We established
grocery and feed store in connection
with the Kicker. The,New York World,
Herald and other effete dailies of the
metropolis predicted dismal failure,
but the result shows they were mis-
taken. We figured that this other
business would be just what we
needed to distract our mind from the
harassing thoughts of editorially run
ming this country, and that we would
be all the better and brighter for be-
ing occasionally interrupted in our
literary labors. The result has justi-
fed our predictions and more. We
were never in as good mental condi-
ton as now, while our sales have kept
increasing week by week until we
have been compelled to hire a clerk
to assist us. The editorial entitled
advice to the President" was writ
ten with more than a dozen interrup.
tiOns to measure corn, draw molasses
and sell clothes pins. and yet we will
put it against anything that ever orig
mated from the pen of the stuck-up
and exclusive New York editors. =
