"TREASON SPLITTING GROSSE."
SOME TIMELY WORDS FROM DR. PARK
HURST.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR SEEMS TO
THINK HE is AWAY ABOVE THE Law
OUGHT TO BE BOUNCED IMMEDIATELY
A. W. Abbott secretary OF the City Vigilance
League OF New-York has recently received an I'M
portant letter from Dr. Parkhurst president OK the
League. dated Vevay. Switzerland. August l3
Among other items OF public interest contained IN
this letter which will be published In full next
week In the September number OF The City vigil
lant." the leagues monthly paper, is an article
headed The Treasonable Impudence OF Collector
Crosse"
In view of the energetic, though probably futile,
efforts that Crosse is putting forth to get the
nomination for Register by first securing the sup
port OF the German American Reform Union, and
hoping that afterward Tammany will indorse the
nomination. Mr.. Abbott has thought II fitting to
give for publication in The Tribune the following
extract taken from DR.. Parkhurst's letter:
While It might. perhaps. be easy to sympathze
with the feelings OF certain class OF our citizens
who desire to have excise laws liberazed. yet
the language sometimes employed by their self
constituted mouthpieces Is not only unfortunate In
the extreme. but boldly revolutionary, and Is or
sort to ft the Of only traitors and Anarchists
The Federal officer named In the heading OF this
paragraph lie example in point provided the Ian
attributed TO MN Dy tne NeW-1orh press
is fairly quoted.
He is said to have declared before the members
Of the Columbia Club: For my part. don't con-
slider the selling Of glass OF beer behind cur
tain and behind a closed door crime, although
the law says It is crime" II this Crosse" orator
understands the words he uses. he knows that
crime is crime because the law makes It such
and determines II to be such. What Crosse thinks.
or any other like him. has no bearing on the
question He says in effect. that his opinion Is
above law In other words. he splits upon the law.
grlnds his heel into the statute and gives the Co
umbia Club and the NewYork public TO under
stand that respect the ordinances OF the state
Indicates n stage OF pueriity that he. Crosse. has
outgrown.
And he is n Federal officer Some OF the pressure
OF the dignity Of our country rests upon Crosses
shoulders Some Of the hope OF the perpeufy OF
American institutions is staked In this ranting
treason splitting Crosse. The Federal Government
would honor Itself by promptly removing him to the
ranks
DR.. Parkhurst expects TO sail for home In
few days
