VICIOUS LITERATURE.

The following sensible article on
the subject OF current literature is
from Thursdays Reno Gazette:
Parents generally should under
stand that the present output OF
novels embraces many books OF ten
dcncics so immoral that it is quite
worth their while to supervise IL
rent literature that may fall into tho
hands OF their children. Many young
peoplo go to tho bookstores and buy
novels innocently, because Of titles,
which contain suggestions Of the
most unwholcsome character, while
in others may DO found the bold adj
vocacy OF tho most vicious doctrines
AMI theories. The time is ripe for
such public protests rs will make tho
publishers OF these books feel some
sense OF shame. II eplorable fea-
ture OF the business is that some
publishers who enjoy n high roputa-
ton for the excellence Of their litera-
ture in the past boldly aflix their i'm
prints 10 tho most degrading stuff.
We repeat that it will not do for
parents to permit their children to
pick and choose OF curront fiction for
themselves. 4 girl or boy, on pur-
chasing q novel, should DO required
to submit it to the inspection OF
father or mother, and the seller
should DO made to fool tho weight OF
parental ~displeasure il tho book be
unfit for tho young to read. There is
ulaw against selling liquor TO minors,
md there should be n law against
selling novels Of the kind to which
we refer to children. And such laws
will surely be enacted il those authors
nnd publishers arc not curbed very
eoon. Those books make n mockery
OF marriage md n jest Of tho most
sacred relations between tho sexes.
They instill a doctrine as absolutely
fatal to tho welfare Of society as thoy
are disastrous to tho youthful mind.

The courtroom was crowded this
morning with people anxious to hear
the proceedings in the case Of Mrs.
Robert Ray Hamilton, indicted for
an a~trocious assault upon her child's
nurse, Mary Donnelly. Mrs. Hamil-
ton sat beside her counsel and looked
pale and wan, and her face showed
evidence of tho stain Of close confine-
ment. Mr.. Hamilton did not look
towards his wife. Mrs. Hamilton fire.
quently sobbcd aloud during the
selection Of the jury, and gave every
evidence Of hopeless dependency.
A dispatch of tho 10Th says: The
trial Of Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton
was resumed this morning with argu-
ment for the defense. This was fol-
lowed by an argument for the prose-
cution. After recess tho Judge de-
livered his charge and the cas- givon
to the jury. The jury soon returned
n verdict OF an atrocious assault.
Mrs. Hamilton was led into the
court room and, when tho foreman
of the jury declared the verdict, sho
foil in q swoon to tho floor. This
most dramatic scene brought tears TO
all eyes. She was sentenced to two
years in tho State Prison.

A feature Of Army life that Is now

Is what Is known as tho ''canteen."
1t Is best known in tho English army,
and has for its object the providing for

missary department, r supplied by
tho post traders. Until within h last
few years The business o. the post
trnder was profitable. nut with tho
growth OF new towns near tho posts
his business fell of. until o his row.
cnue Is derived largely from his IL
cense to sell beer and wine. In many
cases it Is said That the post trader
abuses the privileges thus granted him.
and dispenses to tho soldiers n poor
quality OF whisky aud brandy. The
traders dealings ara thus often prcju-
dicial to good order and discipline at
the post. 1t is this fact, probably
moro than any other. that has led TO
the adoption of tho canteen system.
The cantccn is controlled BY n volun-
tary association ofthe soldiers. Tho sup
plies are purchased and sold rs ut the
p~osttrader's. but no spirituous liquors
arc sold, ind no liquors Of n kind

the soldiers themselves lond their
aid to tho officers in maintaining disci-
plinc. Tho amusements include both
indoor and outdoor recreation and

the officers look for tho best results
In tho morals Of the enlisted men. The
results OF the system have been so sat
isfactory that tho War Department
officials and heads Of tho army give all
possible encouragement to its growth.

NO HOPE Fol-. IT.

Congress and the present Admins
tration can help to revive business on
the Pacific Coast by remonetizing
silv,r.IBelmont Courier.
Silver is a legal tender for NIL debts,
both public aud private, made SO by n
Democratic Congress over tho veto
of a Republican President, hence it is
not remonetiza.ion that we want, but
FREQ coinage. But what political
party demonetized silver? What
grounds for hope have we that the
party that demonetized the silver
dollar will now lift its voice in behalf
OF the white metal? There is no
hope for it; and it is idle to suppose
that tho present administration vii
lift a finger in behalf Of the principal
industry of the Pacific Coast.
AS has been heretofore stated in
these columns there is no hope for
silver so long us tho government is
administered by Eastern men, no
matter what their politics may be.
Put Western man at the head OF
the government, and Western men
in charge OF tho principal depart
ments. men who arc not owned and
controlled by tho National Banks and
Wall Street, then, and not till then,
well grounded hopes may DO enter
tanned that silver will be placed
where it properly belongs, on an equal
footing with gold. Tho Republican
party, rs a party, will never do it.

Tho first number OF the Nationtl

ID. c., has reached our table. It is
Democratic to the core and takes the
administration severely to task for
grave mistakes in appointing 10 office
persons Of unsavory character. Over
two columns Of the paper IRE devoted
10 the names and previous record OF
persons appointed to official positions
by President Harrison. Following
is an extract from tho eqdipg ,di-
torial:
at is proposed That the new journal
shall contain n moro extensive and
complete record OF political matters
and events thun. is furnished by any
newspaper now published. Tho
greatest pains will be taken to watch
and expose tho conduct OF the party
in power, and the character OF mcn
appointed to public Office will be thcr-
oughly scrutinized and accurately set
forth to the people. 1t is evident
that in this department OF journalistic
endeavor alone there is ample just
iiication for an aggressive Democratic
newspaper in the city Of Washington.

litical affairs OF every State and Ter
