What IS the status OF ComStork.
Who shall say! NoninillY ne IL tho
president OF secretary oi a strange or
sanitation known as the Society for
the Suppression Of Vice. AS such Ia
Is clothed With some sort OF leSlsla-
tive power. In New York. If he at
tended 10 his duties, 1t would seem
that he would find plenty TO do In A
quiet way. 1t must not be II
that Mr.. Comstock suppresscs vice.
The society Is q Shleld 10 his actlVi-

cast a critical eye over the metropolis
in search of the i~nnocuOus. When he

over the land. The papers almost
smoke their indignation. New York In
particular fumes and makes faces
Europe laughs long and loud. Every
body is III Il swivel. Only Cornstock
IS happy and Well-pleased.

nail the catalogues. OF curse, there
vas no warrant in reason for the pro-

They were no more vicious Than hun
lreds of paintings in the Metropolitan
and in other public galleries
