Revolving.


FROM ire Andsrddm morning Senfne.
II the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst Of New York can
muster the courage to go into his pulpit on
Sunday and face an audience Of ladies' and
gentlemen OF culture and refinement, he may
be put down as the possessor OF the most
hardened and colossal cheek ever exhibited
by any public speaker.
His testimony in the Mrs. Adams case on
Wednesday. in which he admitted visiting a
house Of bad reputc. consorting with nude
females and drinking beer. is tho most revolt
ing admission on record. He will not We
think find the public willing to justify his
conduct. despite his claim OF having COM
mitted this great sin that he might expose the
SINFUL For nearly an hour he reveled in vice
OF tho lowest possible character without utter
Ing word OF reproof to the miserable women
who lost all self-respect years and years ago.
1t would seem that there Is no congregation
anywhere that could sanction his conduct. and
II the ecclesiastical body to which no belongs
permits the offence Of Parkhurst against the
divine and human law to 60 UNPUBLISHED. it
will merit the scathing rebuke OF the world.

ton. and have enjoyed most fully the
advantages OF refined and religious In
luences and associations. arc only modest
by police compulsion. the world has been
deluded In celebrating modesty as q fem
mime attribute. II this defender OF DR..
PARKHuRsT is not q sianderer Of woman
hood, oil women arc immodest by nature:
the modesty which we ascribe to them Is
only deceitful appearance. a subterfuge;
and the wrctched creatures who exhibited
their shamelessness to DR.. PARKHURsT the
other night. simply went to lengths to
which all women would go except for fear
OF the police.
Even IL the women OF the society OF
fashion are taken as representing only
themselves. this preacher has cast an
odious imputation on hundreds OF the
most exemplary and refined women OF New
York. Most OF these women are wives and
mothers. All OF them are attentive to their
religious obligations. and some OF the num-
Der ore included In the flock Of DR.. PARK
HURST himself. Moreover. by reason OF
their social position they set an example OF
propriety for all other women. Fashion
starts in their circle and spreads thence. II
their full dress Is as immodest as this
preacher describes 1t. and nothing except
fear OF the police restraints them from going
to a still further extreme OF immodesty.
they are far more corruptlnR In their In
fiuence than even the wretched outcasts
visited by DR.. PARKHURsT. Instead OF hav-
ing been driven out from society. they are
its leaders and lawglvers in matters OF
feminine dress and department. Nor is tho
full dress worn by them. and thus furnished
as model for all society. assumed only In
the privacy OF a disreputable haunt. 1t is
displayed publicly in the boxes at the opera.
To such pass has come a sympathizer
with DR.. PARKHURsT as social reformer!
He vilifles all womanhood in order to ex-
cuse the clerical detectives unchristian
methods Of protecting and promoting
social purity. Instead OF seeking to lift up
the fallen in the merciful spirit OF tho
Friend OF the Magdalen. no would drag
down to their deplorable level some Of tho
lovellest examples Of pure and beautiful

until the very suggestion OF philanthropy
is made odious to them, Chancellor MAC
CRAcKEN can expend his energies TO GOOD
purpose. Let him employ them In devising
a scheme under which the money he already
has secured will be made useful In support
ing the college In Washington square as
department Of one comprehensive univer-
sity system. formed by real federation
with Columbia.
New York wants n veritable university.
It does not wish to encourage competition
which divides the money and the intellec-
tual resources essential to the satisfaction
OF that need. Is it not obvious that the emo
will be attained rather by strengthening
the strong institution than by going to
far greater expense In the attempt to In
vigorate the feeble?

Moreover, as this full dress at tho present

proper study to the undesirable WALLER tene-

attached memorandum which showed that
he had made critical examination OF ovory
line Of the bill that he had thorough knowl-
edge OF the subject with which 1t dealt. and
that he had the best OF reasons for disapprov-
ing it. though they had been overlooked by both

THE PETITION DISMISSED.
Horace w. Harrriott was Legally
Held on the Executive Warrant.

A rescript was handed down In the SUI
preme Court to-day, together with an
opinion, In the matter Of the petition OF
Horace W. Harriott for q writ of habeas
corpus to issue against Warden Wall of
the states Prison. The rescript declares
that the petition for habeas corpus Is de-
MED and dismissed.
The facts in the case which make the
decision OF the court n valuable one are as
follows: rha petitioner was imprisoned
in the month OF September, 1891. for
criminal otfense, in the State Prison OF
this SAFE, and his sentence expired on
March 9th last. On the Goth OF March
governor OF New York, issued warrant
for the apprehension of the petitioner,
aud his delivery In New York.
The same day writ was issued against
him in a civil suit, and when his sentence
expired he was apprehended by sheriff
at the Jail. The sheriff remained at the
Jail with him until the 3Oth OF March,
when he left him there, the keeper re-
fusing to surrender him. He was unable
to obtain bail, and was committed.
On the 12th Of May Harriott gave
bond for his appearance In the civil suit,
and claimed his release, on the ground
that he could not be held on the extradi-
ton, as he was wanted in this State OH
this civil suit; and that this State thus
having the prior claim in a case in which
he had given bail, he should be released
from jail.
The Court argues that to produce the
state of affairs cited by the petitioner the
commitment must be by virtue of pre-
vious arrest, and the mere record Of com
mtment on the Jail book Is not enough
to constitute an arrest. Consequently
the court thinks there was no arrest on
the civil suit, aud that the petitioner was
properly held on the Governors warrant.
