a council of his military authorities the
result thereof will bear us out In the
opinion that, ferocious as the Senator
from South Carolina appears when pitch
ing manure about the Senate chamber,
responsibility for his good conduct may
seafely be left TO the regularly consti-
tuted guardians of the peace OF the city
of Providence, providing Chief BAKER
can see his way clear, in view of the
emergency, to give them a day off from
their researches into corruption.
Nor you'd we regard the presence OF
Senator BEN as any occasion for public
mourning. The idea hat W. should dis
play the city flags at half-mast and toll
the bells or notify the health department
is preposterous. Not only, we are conf
dent, may peaceable citizens continue to
pursue their usual avocations without
full smile so long as the sun shines and
business is brisk.
Let us neither fear nor despair. Pitch
fork BEN is all right, and the coun-
try is safe. The committee OF ar
rangements for the Commercial Club
Inner will convey its guest from the
railroad depot to the hotel in a closed car
riage, and Landlord HUMPHREYS has cut
holes in the roof OF his hosiery to keep
the roof from lifting when senator BEN
blows off steam. The banquet tables will
be firmly spiked to the floor and every
precaution will be taken to preserve the
furniture and the chandeliers from demo-
lition at the mouth of the Senator from
South Carolina. On the day following,
the newspapers will report such portions
OF the address as may be got into print
without melting the type, and that are
otherwise fit for publication, and at all
events the sun will continue to shine and
the world turn around even though it
may be temporarily lop-sided at this
corner.
We have endured epidemics OF N kind
and another in this town since its estab-
lishment, two hundred and sixty years
ago.; we have weathered two September
gales, we successfully got through inter
necine strife back in az, and We are
even now, mid the aches and pains of
G~oo-Gooism, able TO look upward and on
ward with hope and a spirit consecrated
to cheerfulness and superior to woe. We
guess we can stand TLLMAN if the Com
mercial Club can, and maybe even derive
a measure of amusement from his presence
among US.

Jean De Reszke Engaged.

II has often been rumored that Jean de
Reszke, the famous opera singer, was engaged
to marry a French woman of title. and from
time TO time the reports have had it that his
marriage was TO take place within "A short
time. These stories have been told for sew
eral years past, hut the tenor is still a bache-
Tor. one OF the reasons assigned for this Is
the fact that the woman to whom he has
always been said to be engaged. has never yet
secured the countsnance of the church to her
divorce. Yesterday NJ. Willy schultz, the
brother-in-law Of Edouard do ResZke. said
that Jean was positively to be married in
May IN Paris. His betrothed is Countess
Mlramaille. and she has beeuelegally divorced
from her husband for some time. nj. schultz
said that she would have secured a religious
divorce by the time Jean reached Europe. and
that the marriage would take place az soon as
the tenor arrived In Paris. He also said that
De Reszke would retire from the stage after
his marriage. But 1t IL pretty well known
that he Is under engagement TO return here
next season and that a question of terms Is
the only thing likely TO interfere with the
Arrangement Maybe M. Schultz is only
learning the wiles OF the American press
agent, and Jean will still be- a bachelor when
he returns to US uextIear.

LET'S ALL BRACE.

guest II THE Commercial Club OF the Hon.
orable BEN TILLMAS, a Senator In Con-
gress, and several other things from South

Nor can we give our support to any

requesting the Governor to call out the
militia to keep Senator TItLMAN of the

And by no means can we see our way
clear to endorsing any order OF the Mayor
for the displayof the public flags at half
mast during the stay OF Pitehfork BEN

community.

The Mayor is to be commended for his
veto as a rebuke to an appropriation pro-
vided for in a loosely-worded bill. The Goo
Goo Councilmen should learn than in ex-
pending the money of he taxpayers there
should be left no room to doubt or ques-
tion the objects for which the mon is
appropriated. There is, Of course, no
question that this particular appropriation
Is demanded and the money ought to be
made available as quickly as possible
since some OF IT is debt OF the city for
work already performed. Whether 1t is at
all true in the sense the Mayor evidently
intends to convey by the assertion that
''money once appropriated the tendency
70 use it is very strong" it is certainly
true that the records ought TO show ex-
sctly for what money SO appropriated is to
be expended Inc that before the a~ppropri-
alton is made. The carelessness OF the
Goo Goo Council in the passing OF this
particular appropriation bill, is GER
tainly open to serious censure.

The other day a Chicago editor was
sentenced to two years at hard labor in
the penitenitary, and to pay a fine of
$1,000 for sending indecent matter through
the mail, the matter being printed in the
EDITORS newspaper.
The newspaper referred to has been for
some time a notorious scandal to Chicago.
1t is vile in every respect, but public
sentiment has so far been unable to sup
press its publication or control the char
acter of its printed columns.
In the mailing of the sheet, however,
the newspaper ran up hard against Uncle
Sam. Our ~postofice not i~nfrequently
fulflls a wholesome mission as a con-
servator of the public morals. Indeed, TO
protect the people from injury, from in
fiictions possible in many ways, from be-
ing defrauded, abused or exposed to the
receipt of dangerous or offensive COM
munications, is a statutory function OF
the duties and responsibilities of the post
Office department, and the full power Of
the federal police and the federal courts
is available to the maintenance OF the
cleanliness and integrity of matter trans
mitted by mail.
SO it transpires, that, by reason OF a
part of the edition of this vile Chicago
publication being delivered by mail, the
United States authorities have accom-
plished what an outraged people of city
and State have been unable to do, the
editor will receive a just punishment and
the columns of his newspaper will be
edited with a view to some sort of
decency, or, at any rate, that portion OF
the edition hat goes by mail Will have
to be e%xpurgated. And In passing sent
ence the Judge emphasized the finding OF
the jury in words OF splendid force,
dignity and meaning. "The jury in
my iHiuu, utcidrtu JuuBe GkONf UP,
brightly found that these papers were i'm
decent and obscene. They were not
simply insufferable to good taste and ROOD
morals, they were clearly and vilely
criminal. As Lord CHATHAM said, a
mans house Is his castle. The storm may
enter, the rain may enter, but the King
OF England can never enter. Every am
lily can create its own standard Of morals,
its own atmosphere Of taste and purity.
The door can be shut against offensive
servants, offensive visitors, and offensive
literature, but the hand of the mail ser.
vice penetrates every chamber of the house
hold. II is no light obligation to see that
that hand is always clear"
The honorable judge, in his remarks,
spoke for the integrity and sacred obliga-
tons of the United States mail, but his
words are as distinctly applicable to the
obligations OF newspaper publishing.
