TOK8DAY BVBNINO, MAY 30, 1084, A rcUtlea That Needs Ame-rimest. Judge Teurgee Is nothing it net sensa tional. A few years age he wrote a clever book, "A Foel's Errand," and It was thought that a new literary star had arisen In the firmament ; but the prom ise- of his first work was dissipated by hla later productions. Just new, aa editor of The Continent, he is engaged in prep agating every manner of Beclal ami political theories, tbe chief recommenda tion for which la that they are all startling. The judge, as might have been ex pected, has taken very kindly te the un constitutional Blair bill that would dlstrlbute mere than $100,000,000 of the surplus In the national treasury among the states for educational purposes. The opinion has already been expressed In these columns that the bill is net only Inexpedient, but Is absolutely un constitutional, as In no way coming nudcr the general powers of Congress te "provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States." But waiving these questions of the con stitutionality of this scheme, Judge Teurgee would have the funds distribu ted among the states en the basis of illiteracy In each. Te bring about the result desired, that is, educational facili ties widely distributed, this method is perhaps the best, and if the eminent litterateur had held his peace after mak lng the latter suggestion, his credit for geed sense might have been saved. But a petition baa been addressed te the United States Sonate nnd Heuse, emanating from the Continent elhce, in which Teurgee's flue Reman baud is discernible nnd which contains nmeng its preambles the following : Whereas. Many riots, and murders. and outrages of various kinds, have dis turbed the peace and disgraced the civili zation of theso (Southern ) states, and we bellove that only the general enlighten meut of all classes of the people can rcpreis Bueh evil?, can prevent n cenllict between the raceB at no distant clay, which must result in tbe most horrible of all forms of civil war, we Implere you, also, by your sworn obligation, te provide- for the na tional dofeuco and the general safety of the land, that you, without delay, make such appropriation and prevision ler tbe pro motion of intelligence and education a?, without extravagance, or unnecessary expenditure, Bhall most speedily aud certainly teud te the im mediate reduction of the ratio of lll'.toraey in tbe Southern states and among all races and classes of citizens. It will be noticed here that a bold assumption is made of a fact that can net be proved. Xe Intelligent observer will say that the best educated classes are the least crmlual. The contrary U tee often true. Massachusetts nnd Connecticut, where- the percentage of Illiteracy is perhaps the smallest in the union, ntferd evidence that education per ae docs net diminish crime, and recent offenses, the most heinous and most subtle, leperted from that quarter, verify the chnrge that in the grades of wrong doing most dangerous te society, there can be no superiority of virtue predicated of any particular section of the country. The past few years have seen fur mere " riots and murders and outrages of various kinds" in the North ern states than in the Southern, as witness the Melly Maguire crimes, the outbreaks at Pittsburg and Cincinnati, and the countless lyuchings throughout Pennsylvania, Ohie, Indiana aud ether Northern statts. Education is a geed thing, but in our own county, by ttie last nunual prison report it Is seen that of the 135 convicts new in prison, 10 can read but net wrlte, and only 7 cannot read or write, while 118 can rend and write. Tims we see that the thoroughly Illiterate make up but G per cent, of the prison inmates, while these who have had educational advantage.1, se far us te learn te read aud wrlte, cemprise the enormous number of 37 per cent. As it is impossible te deduct a sound conclusion from a false premise, it is respectfully stuzgestcd that Judge Tour geu cut from ills petition the balderdash alluded te. But with that gene, his case goe3teo. Indeed, since the Blair bill reached the Heuse, the suspicion is growing that It is buried somewhere therein. At any rate, it stands little chance of passage among the strict Democratic expounders of the ceustltu tien. If Jiulee Teurgee would save ills reputation as a logician, let lilm amend his petition, while there is vet time. Cremation. Heme melnnohely grave digger is allowed te waste npace In the Examim r with an attempt te preve that cremation is prejudicial te public health, unscrip tural and tends te make peeple godless. In support of the first preposition lie argues that if the crematory were Jeca ted abeve the water works, " the illtli would run into the Conestegaand pollute the water the citizens of Lancaster would have te drink." As there is no mere filth about a crematory than there is about a bakery, tills objection is easily removed ; and as the Lancaster cemetery, with Its live or ten thousand meuldering dead, nnd the stuck yards, have been above the water works ull these years it would be a relief te plant a nice cleau crematory in the same quarter of the city. The Scripture cited by the Examiner's correspondent te prove the impiety of cremation hasn't a word against it. It is true that most of the patriarchs are related te have been burled there is no proof that they were net Orst burned hut, In theso dajs, population was sparse, few dwelt In cltles und ground was abundant. Moreover, some of the very lefercucea cited, point te ward cremation. Fer they burled Samuel In his house at Hamuli," (.1 Sam. xxv., 1) ; aud very likely that means his ashes; they would hardly have burled the body in the house, Aijaln "the bones of Saul nnd Jonathan, his son burled they" Just as they de In Japan, after cremation of the flesh. A new supporter of the cromatlen doctrine has arisen In the person of the omlnent physician, Dr. Jes. Lcidy, who answers ulike the sanitary, sentimental and religious objections te it. He says: I lure always been en odvnestn of cre matien en sanitary grounds, and I bolievo that If it wero adepted in thiekly pepu lated communities it would prometo thelr hefclthlncss. Ordinary burlat is the easlcst and most economical mede of disposing ei the deau, and wuen rcmeveu u jhuj-ui distance- from human habitations nuswera all geed purposes ; eiu iu emeu and contiguous positions, where, from the accumulation nnd decay of bodfes, the air and water bcoemo liable te pollution, it is botter te dlspoie of them byorematlon. Many disoases have their source and ethers nre Katly aggravated and ronderod mere fatal in orewded com munities by the decay of dead, oxoremou exoremou oxeremou tltlous and waste organ substances. Theso are rendered innocuous by burning, and this means te destroy thorn should be em ployed when It can be readily dene. Pire I. .i, itpii mirlAnr.

In both processes the materials of the body en- uureauu acceruiug 10 uununau ueuiriuu, await the omnipotent call at ths last resurrection. " One of the ni03t independent and perspicacious citizens of the United States" who has generally voted the Itepubllcan ticket, writes te the New Yeik Sun that the party of his most fre quent association is retteii te tiie core ; that " the Star Reute business is only a llttle dust kicked up by a few bad men te hide villainy aud public plunder in some ether quarters, and when the vouchers en which million of millions have been paid out come te be examined by competent and honest men, the won der will be that the graud old party did net explode of itself long age." Mr. Wayne MacVengh , who resembles the abeve writer, lias written a bitter letter te Mr. Brlstew, showing why Mr. Arthur should net bs nominated, or elected president. Other " independent nnd perspicacious' Republicans have performed the same task for Blaine, Ed munds. Lincoln nnd ethers ; no effort. being required te make it clear in Lo Le gan's case. Democrats will observe, us they go along, that in no instance does anybody propose te leave the Republican party because of the tariff issue, but thousands will desert it if the Democrats show a resolute purpose te turn the rascals out and supplant them with honest men. That is the winning issue. Te the front with it ! These are the balmy days whan tbe othereal spring fever and tha exhilarating ohase of the wild parsufpplay havoc in thu ranks of the soheol boys.

Mr. Morriien will eblige a curious publle by giving it a sight of the veritable correspondence as early as possible. The proportion of male evor fomales in Mentana is turoe te ene, In Idaho mero than two te oue, Nevada two te ene, Wyoming mero than two te one, and about the aitne in Colerado. Very naturally it is reg.udad as a mero houteiH effeuBO out thore te marry two woinen than te kill ene suporllueus man. In Eugland there are 105 males born te 1U0 feranlea, but the latter survive b jtter and in thu aggrogate of population the piopor piepor pioper tlon of sexes is oxaetly roversod. The Philadelphia llteerd says that "if Mr. MeKlulcy is legally entitled te the seat the Democrats of the IIouse who favor tariff reform should take care that no Injustlce is dene hlra and his constitu ents." If Mr. MeKlnley Is entitled te his seat all the Demearats in the Heuso, whether or net called or calling them Helves taritf reformers "should take caie that no Injustloe is dene him aud his con stituents." And if Mr. Wallaea Is untitled te the seat, all the Democrats should take equally geed care of him, Tuk questien whether base ball playiug en Sunday is unlawful or net will seen recolve a legal decision, On Snuday last the Cinelunatl nnd Indianapolis clubs played a game of ball iu the latter city. The mombera of both clubs have been ar rested, eharged with violating the Htate law prohibiting persona following their usual avocation en Sunday. There can be no doubt that the municipal authorities of Indianapolis have taken the preper stand In the repression of this aril, A gome m Sunday botween professional clubs who play ball for a living is no mero legitimate than would be a herse moo or theatrical performauce under the same olreurastancos. In se far as they intorfere with the Sabbath quiet, they are rude disturbers of the poace ; aud in no far ns they fellow en Sunday thelr week day occupations they are violators of the law. Buuday base ball playing must net be tolerated, BITING SATIRE. mauvkaeu's i.irrrnit te iiiustuw. Tlie Kx-Atternej tlcntral l)lp Ilia lVn In Malt nil mltfi Wtmt Ma HnetTi ut Arthur. Ki-Attoruey General Wayne MaeVeagh has written the following opeti lotter te Ex-S.cretary Urlstew, w'-e Is te eddress the Arthur business meu In New Yerk te-night : Philadelphia, May 10, 1934 Dcau Sin : 1 notice that you are an nounced te address a mcetlug te-morrow night in New Yeik In support of the prep 08ltien that the political career of Chester A. Arthur makes his elevation te tbe presidency by the vetes of bis fellow citizens mero deslrable than that for iustance of Senater Edmunds or Souater Sherman, or nny ethor of our omlnent publle men whose names are frequently used lu connection with that great oftlce. As yen oztertcd my admiration nnd sup port, and Mr, Arthur's contemptuous hostility, eight years age, by your efforts te bring the guilty in high places te pun lshmcnt, I am sorry te Und myself differ ing se radically from you a te tbe present duty of men who care for n higher nnd purer publte ' .e. Rut my warm personal regard for you makes me desirous that your speech should be a geed speech, even In n bad cause. I vonture, therefere, te offer you a low suggestions. At the threshold I ought te warn you that while nobody envies Mr. Arthur the great pnze, as far beyend his expectations as his deserts, which he drew "In the lottery of assassination," yet nobody has forgotten the pregnaut fact that Guitcau was the erigiual Arthur mau, that he killed President Gartleld expressly te make Mr. Arthur prestdent, aud that he did make hlra pteMdent by that act for nearly four years. New, In view of this awful tragedy and ltd results, it has always t-eeiued te a geed many people, outside of all street, of course, that a proper sonae of deccucy nnd of the tltness of things, would have led Presidcnt Atthur and his friends te see that his true course was te be satisfied with the ene term thus so se cured te him and net te challenge his countrymen te rovlew his political career anu te express their opluieu of it. As, howevcr, you propeso te held up that career as worthy of espeeial honor, nnd evon of the highest office iu the gift of the peeple, in preference, for example, te the political career of Soaater Edmunds or of Senater Sherman, I will gladly help you te a few points in the line of your argument. Arthur ana till aincliluc. 1 asbume that your first weids of eulogy will bi deveted te what Is your candidate's chief political achievement and upon which his admirers have always rested his title te fame the building up aud manag ing of the Rapubliean "machine" of the city of New erk a machine the latest triumph of which at Albauy causes the hearts of nil true patriots te throb with joy, for the defeat of Mr. Roosevelt leaves Mr (VRricnat liberty te continue theso "deals" with corrupt Deraoeratlo poll pell poll tieiauB which gave Mr. Arthur his llrst renown as a "practical" statesman. As tbe merits of this weuderful mechanism are net generally appreciated as they do de do seivo you weultl de well te explain them in seme detail, and you can triumphantly ask what "machine" did Senater Ed munds or Senater Sherman ever cot up or "boas ?" Toen you will naturally pass, with glowing words of praise, te the neble at tltude Mr. Arthur maintained towards the civil sorvice orders of President Ilayes defying both the president and the seeretary of the treasury and refusing cither te ebey their orders or te resign his oiuce. ieu win no ueuut imrouuce cepi eus extracts from the commission which investigated Mr. Arthur's administration of the custom heuse aud found it worthy of huch high commendatiou, aud a rebuke could be neatly administered at tlii-j point te Mr. Roosevelt, the son, by reminding your audionce bow his honored father was rejected with oeutumely as collector of the pert, in order te keep Mr. Arthur in that important ollieo in spite of the expressed opinions of both his supe rior efllccrd that he was au unworthy elllci.il aud deserved te be turned out. irthnramt uenkllng nt utilcage la 1S80 Yeu will next praiee him for the prom inent patt he acted in the effort in ISSOte etille by packed conventions and the unit rule the voleo of a large majority of the Kepulilican party against n third term for anybjdy aud particularly for one whose second term had been as unsatisfactory as thutef Geu. Uraut. Yeu may, hoever, feel seme persenal doltcaey in dwelliug upeu this part of your faverite's career and if se you cau easily blame Mr. Conk Cenk ling for it and represent Mr. Arthur as a reformer iu disguise If nt this portion of your address if you wish materials for a pathetic aud thrilliug picture you will readily Hud thorn in seme of thu well known incidents of the Chicago convention four yearn age. Yeu can tell hew everybody was determined that Mr. Cenkliug muut be placated at any cost and hew ever body begged him net te force Mr. Arthur upeu tbe convention, and hew Mr. Colliding refused te consider uny ethor name and by his chivalrie dovotien t3 his friend compelled his nomination for the vice piealdency. Rut I would net, if in your place, weary the audience by the dotaiNef the gratelul return Mr. Arthur has made for this dovotien. After all, you must reserve your highest (light of cloqnenee for an adequate de scription of that occasion where your can didate displayed his true nobility of soul nnd made his only recorded publle speech. I need net say 1 allude te the Dersey ban. quctnt Delmouieo's in February, 1831. Refresh your memery if necessary by read lug the Aatien of about that date, and au LXtraet or two from its files of that peried would be Interesting reading for your hearers. Mr. Arthur's words upon that occasion deserve te be " written ou the iialtns of the hands nnd worn as a frontlet botween the eyes " by every slgnoref the call for your mcetiug If for no ether rea son for their pralse of the frce use of "soap." Yeu cau tell your nudloueo, with out fear of successful contradiction, that it was the first and last occasion in our history when ene man publicly praised auother for bribing voters. Mr. Arthur's part in the resignations of .Mr. Cenkliug nnd Mr. Piatt, and his con duet nt Albany until summoned te Wash ingten by the sound of Gultcau's pistol, pethapH you had botter touch lightly. Thore nre seme " Kontimental " Republi cans lu this state, as well as in Nuw Yerk and Olu,., who don't quite enjey these reminiscences, and I would net advise you te dwell tee long ueu that mad riot of calumny and domination of the dead Gar tleld, in which for many months the most Intimnte friends and associates of Mr. Arthur indulged, without aay signs of disapproval by him, and, lu the easos of Mr Uerham, Mr. llatten and Mr. Hast ings, with abundant signs of approval. Yeu will, of ceurse, admit that wheu Guiteau promoted him te the presideney Mr. Arthur was proud te be known ns an ontliuslastle supporter of the " boss " Hystem, the " spoils " aystem, a third tenu for General Grant and the uult rule. He was then fifty years of age and your task Is te pcrsuade anybody you eau that hit desire for a teeeml (ttm has effected a complete chaugu lu the methods, stand arde and habits of his whele life. .Vttlinr'it Monument el Ketei m Veu will offer the appointment of Mr. Chandler te the cabinet as ene proof of this change, and the stab dealt General Hurt beoause of hla sorvlces te civil norv nerv norv leo reform aa another. Then by long stages ei dosceutyou will Interest your nudloueo In thopleailng Btoryeftho alllanoe with' Mahene te scoure the repudiation evon of the oempromlso bends forced upon the unhappy creditors of Virginia, the alllanoe with Chalmers in Mississippi, the masterly campaign in New Yerk only two years age and its brilliant ending, the delay lu filling netual vncanelcs in Philadelphia, in Dolaware nnd elsowhero te the detrl meut of the public interests aud the efforts te trnde theso places for delegates, the Koeghcaso lu Neith Carolina, the Stro Stre Stro baeh case in Alabama, the Kellogg case in Leulsiaua, the promotion of Uarney Ulgllu'n brother nud the appointment of Proxy Froneh's brother, with mauy ether like performances admirably calculated te win the public coutldence nud regatd. And you ean truthfully declare that Mr. Arthur eau beast of one diatiuotien aimed with no ethor candidate. He is under no obligations for a single ene of his dele gates. All of them were s:cured for him by bis own officeholders. The only peroration you will need will be te read the roll call of the distinguished patriots whose names I find in your news papers as iu oeuferenco with him during his visit te you of laU week, when he re sumed personal ohatge of his " boom " in your city and started the movemont for veur meeting. Listen te thelr illustrious uaraes : Stephen U French, Rebert G. MoCerd, Jehn 11. Lydoeker, Jehn F. Smyth, DeWltt Cliuteu Wheeler nnd Jehu J. O'Brien. I oemmoud these patriotic nud high- minded gontlemou, your fellow-workers, te your oharitable consideration. In 1970 they would net have trusted themselves lu your company, nnd even new they will harbor n lurking susp.cieu that you Intend te indlet them. That is the peualty you pay for having been a reformer. They will, hewever, de thelr best. They will accept you as a repentant sinner nud heartily applaud the oxcelteut nddress you will make ; but you must pardon the expression of my oeuviotlou that in the long run you will net tlud thorn nud their chief te be congenial oempauy, nor will they deslre much of your seciety after the convention.
