of the readers, but the press is
seemingly free to tell these stories.
1t is deplorable that such a condi-
ton exists. The postoffice depart
ment recently ruled against the
transmission through the mails
of newspapers which publish &C
counts ofgambIing projects, mat
ter probably less harmful than the
Thaw stories. This was an
abiidgment of the absolute free
dom of the press in a matter affect
ing public morals. and as this can
be done, why might not some re-
striction'be placed upon the dis
sen.ination Of such prurient stories
as that of the Thaws?

blight struck the trees and they are all
practically dead.
When crossing the bay we saw e-i-
dences of the flood, in the way OF pill
ings. Where there were two bridges,
only one bridge spans the bay now, but
arrangements are made to have a fill
made across the bay in the near future,
of sufficient width for several roads.
The bay is two miles wide.
The sea wall along the Gulf Coast is
four miles long The dimensions at
base 16 feet, II feet high, feet wide
on top, and is built on piling driven 80
feet. The wall is built of concrete, and
circular on the inside next to the Gulf.
The wall cost three million dollars.
Contractors from Holland have the con-
tract for filling back of wall and under
the city at 18a cents per square yard.
The company built temporary canal
from the bay through the city. They
pump sand from the bay on large
dredges and haul on canal to end of
streets and pump through large fumes,
the sand settling and the water run
ming off. Houses are raised from four
to seventeen feet, according to the sur
face of the ground Owners of prop
erty pay for raising houses, and the
city pays for the filling. 1t costs 81, 900
to have large houses raised.
A Catholic brick church 50 $50 feet
is in process of being raised and will
cost 1000.
They have been two years filling the
city Of Galveston and it will take two
years longer. The canal will be filled
and buildings, erected. AS the streets
are filled they are paved, and event
ually all will be paved.
There are many costly residences in
the city and they claim to have thirty
seven millionaires living in Galveston.

THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

One of the cherished sentimen is
of this country is that the press
should be untrammeled in its re-
ports of actual occurrences and its
discussion of questions of public
interest, or of no interest at all,
for that matter, to anybody, But
like all other privileges, guaran-
teed by custom and popular opin-
ion, this freedom, at times, be-
comes dangerously close to license.
1t is true, the Postoffice Depart
ment has stepped in, on numerous
occasions, and stopped the use of
the mails for the transmission OF
journals, papers, circulars, &c,
containing matters deemed i'm
moral and Objectionable. This
places a certain wholesome re-
straint upon the license of the
press, ifnot upon its freedom. But
even this is not always effective to
prevent the dissemination Of opin-
ions, as we'll as Of facts, which do
not tend to promote morality.
Quite recently a prominent peri
odical, with a wide circulation,
contained an article on the increase
of the worlds population, TO
phrase its meaning in the least OBJ
jectionable language in which
some things that it seems to US
unwise to have put in the way of
children, were told N language al
most too plain to be esteemed de
cent Yet this periodical, which
is very popular enc and goes into
many homes and falls into the
hands of young girls, youths and
children, went through the mails
without protest. We think its
transmission was, to some extent
at least, a stretch of the freedom
of the press.
Just now and for months past
the daily newspapers of the coun-
try have been filled with details of
the life and habits of Harry K.
Thaw, who is being tried in New
York City for the murder of Stan
ford White, and of the former rela-
tons of White with Thaw's wife
before her marriage. Thaw is the
son ola deceased multi millionaire
of Pittsburg, Pa, and his sister is
the wife of an English nobleman.
This makes the case a conspicuous
one and, naturally, more space
would be devoted to it than if the,
were people of ordinary standing;
but, apparently, it is the unclean-
ness of the past life of Thaw and
his wife, and the victim of Thaw's
revolver, which have given the
case its greatest notoriety and
caused volumes of stories to be
written and published in the daily
newspapers throughout the land.
While the language used in'these
stories has been, for the most part,
guarded and free from open i'm
purity it has been too suggestive
to have been misunderstood, and
the prurient tale, repeated again
and again, in some form or other,
has been read with avidity by all
classes of people, young and old.
The effect of this, to say the least
of it, is not beneficial to the morals

A Bill Not Approved.

The bill introduced in the legislature
last week by Mr.. Martin of Rumford
changing the terms of court for Oxford
County does not meet with the approval
of the interested parties in the central
portion of the county.
At the last term of court a petition
was signed by large number of the at
torneys asking for third term of court,
to be held at Rumford Falls. 1t was the
understanding that this added term was
to be in May.
The bill which now turns up in the
legislature, coming from a Rumford
Falls source, has different appearance.
1t transfers one of the established terms
from March to February, and puts il in
at Rumford Falls, and puts the added
term in May at South Paris.
The petitioners for the third term,
who are most directly Interested, as
we'll as others less directly interested,
will insist that if term is to be held at
Rumford Falls, il shall be the added
term, and not one of the already estab-
lished terms. Any term held at Rum
ford Falls must be at considerable ex-
peuse and Inconvenience for the county
and the court officers, and the expense
and Inconvenience should be made as
small as possible.
