Year after year it it has been rumored, but not openly stated, that the blacklist was to be published. Just as regularly have the guilty persons escaped public discountenance, and just as regularly has the blacklist continued to grow, despite the fact that the men on this list have been deprived of the privilege to apply for tickets in the future...
