We find In the Washington Post some re-
marks made by the Hon DANIEL WEBSTER
VOORHEES, that tho Mugwumps ought to read
and profit by. These monomaniacs seem to
think that the Indiana Democratic Convention
pledged itself to GROVER CLEVELAND because It
tossed a resolution OF him. and that the friends
OF the Hon. ISAAC PUsEY GRAY are actuated by
purely altruistic motives The remarks Of Mr..
VOORHEES, should serve to correct these gro
tesque misconceptions. A Washington Post
reporter asked him II he was going to pre-
sent the name OF Governor GRAY at tho Ma
tional Convention. III you will read the In
structlons contained in tho platform recently
adopted by the Indiana Democrats" sail Mr..

to have Governor GRAY's name presented to
the Convention. Isn't 1t pretty late In the day
to ask what is to be done with Governor GRAY's
nnme at the Convention"

ant that Indiana is earnest in his support and

The Corruption Of English Society.

An article by Lady JEUNE in the May num-
Der OF the North American Review on London
society presents pictures and describes ten
denotes OF the fashionable life OF the Eng
lish capital which are commanding much
attention there because Of her undoubted
competency to deal with the subject.
Lady JEUSE is the wife OF Justice JEuNE
of the Probate and Divorce Court. and both
before and since his elevation to the bench
she has occupied position which has given
her access to the society she criticises. She
mingles In the gayest. or tho smart" set,
and she can also look att from the confines
OF the sobercr circle CT those who take
u more serious view OF life: for she
frequents them both. She is, moreover. a
very clever woman. keen in her perceptions
and clear In her observation. who writes of
people and conditions She has known and
studied thoroughly. Her social success has
been too great to render her open to any
Just accusation OF the bitterness which is
sometimes engendered in critics who are
shut out hopelessly from the circles against
which they inveigh. Her social path is
pleasant before her and not rough and
thorny. and hence she is philosophical and
not envious and rancorous.
Lady JEUNE starts out by referring to
the revolution which London society is
obviously undergoing. Luxury. ease. COM
fort. she says. have become the watchwords
OF the " smart set, or the circle which Is
most conspicuous and whose countenance
Is most sought for. and they arc corrupting

one aim. Men and women live only for

for great wealth is absolutely essential to
provide the luxury demanded. It has always
been necessary for that purpose. Every
society of fashion and elegance has rested

Constitutional Reform in Belgium.

Il Is now settled that even Belgium. which
has hitherto been tho most conservative OF
all European countries possessing parlia-
mentary institutions, will reconstruct her
organic law upon democratic principles.
On Tuesday OF this week tho Chamber of
Deputies decided to revise in many funda-
mental particulars the Constitution which
had remained unaltered since it was fash
toned siXty-one years ago. There is no
doubt that the Senate will acquicsce in
most OF the resolutions passed by the lower
House. and the Joint recommendations Of
the Chambers will be carried into effect by
a Constituent Congress to be elected in
June. A review OF the reforms sanctioned
by a legislative majority will indicate the
scope and character OF tho new political
system about TO I've framed for Belgium.
Too much stress must not be laid upon
the fact that the Chamber of Deputies
unanimously voted to revise that clause of
the existing Constitution. which prescribes
Q property qualification. and confines the
parliamentary franchise to q small fraction
Of the adult male citizens. Taken by itself.
this vote might moan n great deal or very
little. and its true Significance is To be de-
duced from the preceding debate. In the
course OF which the Radicals demanded
universal suffrage. and even the Conscrva-
tive leaders admitted that close approach

The Encts of the Case.

For 1t Is shame even to speak OF those
things which are done Of them in secret"
So says st. PAUL OF the worst OF the vices
Of the pagan world in his day.
Reporters who were obliged to listen to
the testimony of DR.. PARKHURsT and young
ERvINo in the General Sessions on Monday
and Tuesday. say that tho conduct and
practices witnessed and described by this
pastor and his parishioner were utterly in
conceivable in their vileness. They were
not surprised that the young man broke
down completely as the result OF his horrible
narrative, for even to hear it was like pass
ing through fearful nightmare.
1t was story OF unspeakuble depravity,
unparalleled in history. ancient or modern
To tell it was shame. TO listen to it was
an obligation Of professional duty. revolt
ing to every sense. To have looked on such
scenes willingly implied moral insensibil-
ity in the observers which ostounded every
listener in the court room.
Dr. PARKHuRsT and his party went to
these scenes Immediately after taking part
in the "circus' at the ADAMS house. where
they had drunk three rounds OF beer with
their vile entertainers. Here Is a short
extract Of his testimony on Tuesday:
Q,-wha, time did you go to the ASpRrAs houssf A.
think It was about 30 O'Clock on the morning OF
March IL. II was about that time.
Q.-WhAt did you do when you entered the house'
Ave went into the parior and ranged ourselves about
the room. and fell into conversation.
Q.-Dd you have anything TO drink Ayes; one Of
the party ordered beer, aud we drank It.
Q.-What was said after that, A.-One OF tho marty
said. 'fou don't seem to be doing much here Haven't
you any nusic! The defendant said she didn't have
any music bnt she had gir.s and she could
tain us II We wanted her TO- some one skcd hos whu
she could give us She named tho different ne
formances
Q-Was a price for these agreed uponi Ayes
She demanded - Of iece for each Of u.s. and the SIG
was paid.
Q.-How long did you remain In tho house, Al
should think We were there about half an hour
According to the testimony Of q young
detective named HOwEs. who was one OF
the party. the unspea&ably revolving per-
fornnnce itself lasted fifteen or twenty
minutes. All OF them remained in the room,
as observers while it went on. and they had
four rounds OF beer.
This mere statement ought to be enough
for decent and sensible people. 1t will
enable them to decide both rs to the char
acter Of the house and the moral quality Of
the PARKlIURsT visitors.
