press is national disgrace. 1t involves, more
over, evils that must aggravate the present I'M
happy state of affairs, tearing open old wounds
inficting fresh wounds, reminding the worst
passions, and perhaps exposing the country to
the violence and woes of a prolonged civil war.

THE WAR IN ST. DOMINGO. Late advices
from st. Domingo report that President Baez
is in very bad way and may at any moment
be driven out by the revolutionists. Things
are so mixed up in that unfortunate island that
we are uncertain which side may yet be VIC
torious nor have we time to attend to that
matter just now. When our election is over
we will have leisure to look after st. Domingo,
Mexico and the South American States. Then
will be the time to take them all in hand and
see that the long neglected Monroe doctrine is
carried out effectually.

The Worcester Disturbance-Yale and Har'
ward. ~

The Worcester Disturbanco-Yale and Har'
We notice that certain New England and
some New York journals are still much
exercised about the late exhibition of rowdyism
at Worcester on the part of the ''hopefuls" of
Yale and Harvard. The riotous demonstration
on this last occasion, bad as it was, would be
less entitled to notice were it not for the fact
that these disturbances are annual in their
occurrence and seem to form necessary part
of the regatta programme. Year after year
they follow the contest on the lake, and each
successive year they increase in lawlessness.
1t was bad last year; it has been infinitely
worse this year. 1t is within the mark to say
that more disgraceful conduct, even in circum-
stances of provocation, could not have been
expected at the hands Of any congregation OF
rowdes hailing from the Five Points. But
unofending city Of Worcester were students Of
Yale and Harvard, young men who had for
two or four years sat at the feet Of New
England Gamaliels In two of the Oldest and
proudest of American seats Of learning. The
case Is all the more serious when we bear in
mind that these Yale and Harvard rioters are
to be the teachers Of the coming generation.
Bright lights and pure they certainly promise
to become.
Many things have been said as to what should
be done in the circumstances. The good peo
pie of Worcester have been lectured as to their
duty in the premises. The College authorities
of Yale and Harvard have been lectured as to
their duty in the matter. There can be no
doubt that the authorities at Worcester have
been blamefully indulgent, and there can be
as little doubt that the heads Of the colleges
have been remiss in their superintendent.
All this, however, fails to touch the root of
the evil. The law as administered at Wor-
cester might be never so severe Yale and
Harvard might expel or rusticate every offend
er but the disease would remain and would
reveal itself as violently as before when occa-
sion offered The real cause of such disorderly
conduct is to be found in the decentralization
which has come over the whole of New Eng
land teaching. The colleges, like the churches,
have dropped away from their ancient mornings,
and the professors care for Christianity even
less than the preachers. Central, fixed princi
pie in morals and religion there is none among
the class who now represent the intellect and
culture of New England. Like the pagans of
former times they have their gods many and
their lords many, and on the summit of their
Olympus Theodore Parker occupies place of
equal prominence with Jesus Christ. From
teachers of this sort what healthful moral infu-
ence can emanate? To the impurity Of the
fountain in this case must be traced the I'M
purity of the stream. To make the students
what they ought to be it will be necessary to
begin with the professors.

The German Democrats Of the Nineteenth

The meeting OF the German republicans Of this

peared in large numbers last evening at Mechanics

that measures should be provided procure q trans
parency for the headquarters OF the club Mr. August
Ban oered to contribute the entire cost Of IL, which
was accepted with cheers. Several speeches were
made and q committee was appointed to meet sm

We recently alluded to the shameless indul-
gence of the partisan press in scurrilous as
saults upon the motives and character of polit-
cal opponents. But we are constrained to
recur to this disagreeable topic by the increas
ing vulgarity and blackguardism exhibited in
the wordy warfare of the Presidential campaign
by two leading party organs. One Of these
journals is the organ of apprehension and
the other that Of radicalism. The former de-
nounces General Grant as a. sot, peculator,
scoundrel, military butcher and wearer of
an assumed name or alias The latter de-
nounces Mr.. Seymour as disguised rebel,
hypocrite and lunstic, and defines his friends
as "a mob hanging negroes to lampposts.
Both daily pour forth floods Of such dirty po
litical billngsgate, and both are published,
not in some obscure frontier village away out
West or away down in Texas, where the habit
nal use of bad whiskey, bowie knives and pis-
tolls Is apt to be accompanied by correspond
ing coarseness and violence of language, but
here In New York, the metropolitan centre of
American civilization
The style Of American journalism has
offered within the few past years many en-
couraging signs of Improvement. Misreprs-
sentation and fasehood have been discovered
and admitted to be unlawful weapons. Scold-
ing and calling i'll names, splitting in the face
of az antagonist, ainging rotten eggs at him or
syy stabbiDg him in the back were becoming
Questionable practices. Argument had been
found more effectual in debate than vitupera-
ton and abuse. II had been asccrtained that,
like other men. journalist might have blood
and not ink 10 his veins. He might WELD the
heaviest logic or hurl the sharpest invective
without violating the amenities Of society or
the rules of honorable controversy or without
disgracing himself by foul-mouthed personal
abuse Of his adversary while engaged in fair
fight in behalf of his own convictions. Even
the most abandoned party organs could not
wholly withstand the influence of the example
of heightened Independent journals. All this
was encouraging. But no sooner was the
signal sounded for new Presiden-
tial campaign than the leading party organs
fell back to their old tricks. Like pussy trans
formed into young lady IN the fairy story,
they could ''behave" no longer when their rude
| and disgusting instincts we're again excited.
They have reapsed into their former habits OF
| wallowins In the mlre, and they bespatter each
I. other and every pssser by. Pot calls kettle

their common section Of country. One thing
is certain, and that is that the radicals must
change their tactics, cease their efforts to
array one portion of the Southern population
against the other, and consider the interests Of
the whites and blacks of the South as identi-
cal, or they will have the whole of that section
combined against them, both now and for all
time to come They have deceived themselves
up to this time. We shall see whether they
can retrace their steps or comprehend this
most interesting political problem of the day.

The Political Reaction.

The election of last year, which gave the
State of New York to the democrats by hfty
thousand majority, was generally regarded as
due entirely to the strong reaction observable
all over the country against the violent and
dangerous policy of the radical Congress.
This was q popular error. While the anti
radical and anti-impeachment sentiment had'
no doubt, a great effect in New York, as In
Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Ohio
and other States, the immense revolution In
New York politics was principally occasioned
by the concentration of all the liquor and
lager beer interests upon the democratic eau
didates. This is evident from the fact that
cracy was made in the southern portion Of the
State, where the absurd, unequal and odious
Metropolitan Excise law is in existence. After
the election, however, the democrats aban-
doned their best friends, and instead of repeal
ing the worst and most oppressive features OF
the Excise law, which they could easily have
done, they intrigued, plotted and voted to
prevent any alteration Of its provisions, and
thus made themselves, in fact, responsible for
the measure. The Ivy license fee could
have been reduced to fifty dollars, the Sunday
restriction probably removed and the spy and
informer nuisance entirely swept away if the
democrats had not purposely obstructed such
amendments The Irish and German liquor
and lager beer dealers, who paid their money
as well as cast their votes to secure these
alterations in the law, are perfectly conversant
with these facts This year they are going to
try different course. The republican ticket
has upon it two liberal-minded men, Grant
and GriswOld; the former the friend of good
liquor and the latter the very King Gambrinus
of lager. The Irish and Germans will there
fore vote for the republican candidates for
President and Governor, and by this means
put down forever all the radical fanatics,
beginning with Greeley, and Danish cold water
and bran bread from the republican creed.
This reaction among the liquor dealers and
lager beer sellers will turn the State fifty thou
sand against the democrats next fall, will
secure the repeal Of the Metropolitan Excise
law and put stop to all such narrow minded
legislation in the future.
