Bishop Newman says. that 'the Me-
groes have Numbered in forming leagues
to gain their rights. When any one
claims certain rights because he is for
eigner or because he is of particular
color he is in the wrong" Bishop New
man would not, probably, adduce sim
gle instance of NEGRO" claiming any
right because of his particular color. He
simply protests against being deprived
OF rights because of his color; and to as
sert that it is blunder for him, or any
one else, to form combinations to pro-
tect himself, is very silly proposition
for bishop to maintain.

The struggle over the closure revolu-
ton was grand event for the republican
party, though it resulted in failure. 1t
showed the size and shape of some of its
leaders in most impressive manner and
doomed them to never be forgotten, to be
remembered only tobe cursed. It raised
the issue as to whether the cause of the
party should be progressive or the con-
trary. The party must MAINTAIN the
constitutional amendments or recede and
allow them to be exemplified. 1t must
establish free ballot and fair count, Z
die.

Dead Organic Matter In Boiled
Water.-A recent writer, referring to
the usual accepted assertion that the
most impure water is rendered pure
DIV boiling. and that in this there is
an absolute safeguard against the
danger of water containing disease
germs, calls attention to the fact that
while the boiling will undoubtedly
kill the germs OF disease, so high an
authority as DIR. Cresson declares, in
the "Annals of HYGIENE" the ten
deucy of such boiling to be, in reality,
to render the water more impure than
1t was before, because by the very
death of these germs dead organic
matter Is allowed to remain In the
water, which is polluted by putrefac.
ton. According to this. therefore,
while boiling is q most desirable pre-
caution against the occurrence OF
typhoid or similar diseases, when cir
cumstances favor the belief that the
drinking water In use con talns germs
of the disease In question, the i'm.
portant point Is TO be born in mind
that this boiling does not really purify
the water, but simply removes from
it the specific power to produce a
specific disease.

FALSE IMPRISONMENT.

The release and pardon of Frank
Aldrich, serving a seven years term in
the Western Penitent iary, Pa, is an
other proof OF the utter unreliability
of convictions procured under, detec-
tive agencies. A wealthy citizen of
Allegheny City was buncoed out .ot
$4,000. Pinkerton offered to secure
the arrest of the guilty man for 81 900
The money was paid and Pinkerton
astened on Alrich who proved an
incontestible alibi, but he was con-
victed and sent up. His heroine wife
sold her business, pawued her jewels
and for two years has worked to free
him. The evidence she presented to
the board of pardons shows that
Pinkerton knew he had the
wrong man.. and { that he
was gailty OF sentencing an
innocent party to seven years in the
penitentiary for the Gum of 81 900.
This accursed system of levying black
mail on innocence and invoking all
the power of the law to convict people
guiltless of crime, in order that the
detectives may secure their fee is q
crime against justice, humanity rig hit,
and outrages every feeling of human
brotherhood. The Pinkerton agency
has long been a standing menace to
personal liberty and the rights of the
citizen. Under this agency convic-
ton can be secured against any &C.
cused parties, provided only that the
rewards offered are large enough TO
make it worth while to manufacture
the evidence. 1t has been shown
again and again that the servants of
this agency incite riots, egg
on strikes, connive at crime
in order to get job.
The whole system of espionage, of
which this agency is so striking an
example, is utterly foreign TO all
American ideas of liberty and the
rights of the citizen. These men are
not needed. They only provoke to
crime In seasons of disturbance, and
work for conviction in order to secure
q reward, even when positive of the
innocence of the parties accused. The
rights of the citizen should not be
jeopardized, and his liberty curtailed,
and his freedom put in pawn to satis-
fy the cravings of this brood OF har-
pies, who, pretending to serve the
aims of justice, serve only injustice,
fraud, corruption, and al perversions
of justice. The private detective
should be outlawed. Pinkerton's
thugs should be disbanded, and inpo-
cent men given a chance for their
liberty when put upon trial for crime.
