to have a more stringent bill put
through. Mr.. Jesup betrayed his OK
penses &c Washington and Senator
Buckingham, OF Connecticut, intro
duced the measure in the Senate and
Clinton l.. Merriam In the House. In
tense opposition was met from a pow
erful lobby OF publishers, but the bill
got through by a small margin. and
with the aid OF Speaker James G.
Blaine, was among the last taken up
and passed on the night of the final
day OF the session OF 1873.
He Refused the Salary.
After the law went into effect Sena-
tor Buckingham asked Mr. Comstock
to take position as postofice inspect
or to see that it was enforced. He ac-
cepted the position, but declined the
salary, on the ground that he might be
placed under obligations to politicians.
and on March 9th. 1873, was made a
special agent OF the department. which
commission has been renewed each
year since then.
So severe was the blow dealt the pub
fishers OF the profitable Sub rosa lit
erature that desperate efforts were made
to have the law repealed, and in 1887
a petition containing 10000 names and
headed by Robert G. Ingersoll, backed
by unlimited money and the most
adroit lobbyists. was presented to Con-
gress asking that the restrictions be
removed. Mr.. Comstock appeared
alone before the House committee
which had the repeating measure and
in the face of severe and brutal con-
domination was successful in prevent
ing favorable action. AS part OF tho
campaign against him n book entitled
Tine Life and Crimes of Anthony Com,
stock" was published and seventeen
thousand copies distributed 1t was
stated that he himself was a dealer
in the very things against which he
waged war, and that he had been ar
rested by FIVE district attorneys. but
he kept on his way, and never once let
up in the struggle with evil.
Mr.. Comstock is still a postoffice
agent without pay. He is allowed five
cents per mile mileage and 81 so per
day witness fees while attending courts
as q witness, but these payments he
turns into the treasury OF the society
for which he is agent. In this way he
has turned over more than 321 900
which he might have kept.
The work which Anthony Comstock
has accomplished and is doing to-day
Is OF incalculable benefit to the moral
fibre OF the maturing citizenship OF the
Republic. The man is one OF Gods
appointed.

Viborg, Finland, July 24.-The cur

drama of Russias first parliament.
Under the spur of the threat Of Gov

held, 1856 members of the lower house
hurriedly adopted and signed an ad-

ed by Prince Paul Dolgouroukoff, vice
president of the house, to carry on the

The address, which bears a remark
able similarity to the manifesto
framed by the council of workmen last
November that landed its authors and
the editors of eight st. Petersburg
newspapers In the fortress Of St. Pc

ment In its most vulnerable point, by
declaring that the administration Ii

CHURCH IS UNABLE
TO HJLD PROPERTY
DR.. R. w. Forsyth Says Constitu-
ton Confers Great IN
conVenienceS.

In a sermon delivered last Sunday. DIT.
Robert w. Forsyth. rector Of ST. Pauls
Episcopal Church. referred TO the lack
Of recognition BY the Constitution recent
~ passed OF the Christian Church. There
is absolutely no provision IN the Consti-
tuition whereby churches may be incor-
porated so as 10 hold property. Dr. For
syth referred 20 this as great grievance
because church bodies may hold property
only BY proxy. which is very inconveni-
ent.
Even the vestry OF a church has no
title 70 the church building or to any
property or funds that may be connected
with It. Church property is vested only
- - corporation not connected with the
church. appointed by the court on the
nomination Of the vestry. and the only
means by which a church may hold the
title TO its own property Is by some
ingenious evasion OF the law, which. OF
course. would not be tolerated BY the
church itself.
br. Forsyth said last night that he has
an intention OF agitaung movement to
amend tho Constitution whereby the
present inconvenience might be removed.
and that his reference TO IL in last sun
days sermon was only a side remark
made IN connection with the subject of
his sermon, which treated Of the mutual
recognition between church and state
under the rule OF King David lie said
however. that Il he had been in virginia
at the time OF the Constitutional Con
vention he would certainly have raised
his voice IN protest against the cOnven
ton FOR its failA2g to recognize the church.
