PENNSYLVANIA should satisfy any reasonaoie
mans ambtion-if Pennsylvania is to be pur.
chased at ANYTHING like reasonable price. III
a man has nothing but his money, no partcu-
lar canocity for public affairs, no abilities which
in a Door person would attract attention. no
genius except for the accumulation OF wealth.
we do not know that he is to be blamed Tor
buying distinction and honor if he should hnd
them. like stocks, in the market. TO be sure,
it NAV he said that it is MT Judge Packer who
is the candidate-that it is His HonOrs estate,
real. nersonal. and mixed, which has been put
in nomination but then it is but nvldious,
after all to attempt to sever the properly
from the person and while money Is money,
and an empty pocket the most palnlul OF
vacuitics, the pethoric Packers Will always
seem lovely to the hungry eyes of the needy
and will be regarded by those who have votes
to sell as simply political paragons. While
Packer continues to come down with the dust,
he will always have train of enthusiastic
followers ready to roar itself, in his honor,
into a chronic bronchitis.
Let MS hope, however, that the Judge VIII
be sagacious in his distributions, and not pay
at needless ducks and Improbable brakes WITH
his superfluous wealth There are goOu
many of his most enthusiastic admirers who
would not hesitate to reduce him, if they could,
to the squeezed orange condition. and then to
fling him aside, limp, shapeless, juiceless

cratic bidders Let him remember " the GER

Jericho, and fell among thieves, which
" stripped him of his raiment, and wounded
him. and departed, leaving him half dead"
Minus his money, it seems to be generally
allowed, the Hon. Asa would get precious
little attention from the " Democratic" Priests
and Levites. And Good Samaritans in the
party, we take it, are rather scarce. Packer,
it is true, must bleed; but let our prayers 20

With an army short of thirty thousand men,
the Bazians pursue their war against less
than third of that number Of ParaguayanS
The mail from Rio JaneirO accounts clrcum-
stantially for number Of defeats, and these
not the most recent, administered to the Para
guayans; yet the Count d'Eu, though esteemed
a soldier of talent and spirit, has not escaped
from the wilderness which the Paraguayan
question appears to be, both politically and
strategically. The Paragraphs hold to their
stubborn leader with passionate tenaclty, as
even the Brazilian papers admit, nor Is
it doubted that tho Provisional Government
set up by the Allies is almost farce. The
Brazilian War Minister is on record as having
made not long ago the perilous confession
that eff the war lasts ten months longer, Brazil
"will be ruined" This admitted, the chances
of Lopez are not so hopeless as to daunt at
once a man of many resources and familiar
with desperation. Gle may be crushed at
"Ascuua," says the English paper of Brazil,
"but it will be to rise up in another port"
Lopez will still consider the game of battle
worth playing at, if the salvation of his enemy
is staked upon it.

1t is proper to say that the letter telegraphed
to us from Washington, as received there by
the Treasury Department from an Income-tax-
payer who had not returned his full income
to the proper officer, and so determined TO
pay it direct, was not sent from
New York To the best of our knowl-
edge--we say nothing Of belief-every income
returned here is given at the full amount
which the party intends to pay upon. We
have not heard of a single instance in which
anybody has given notice that his as
sessment is too low. But we hare heard
of scores of cases in which parties not
assessed at all have suddenly discovered
that, by the merest oversight in the world,
they have neglected to make returns of their
income until after the publications in THE
TRIBUNE. The assessors and collectors are
daily thanking us for consequent revival of
business in their line.

Mr.. George Peabody, last Wednesday, was
at the dedication of the Peabody Institute,

If the effort to disturb the satisfaction of

TEN of robbery known as the rule of Tam
many had not long ago proved futile. we
might, with the more hope of accomplishing
something, invite their earnest attention to the
specimens Of TammaDy bookkeeping which we
present in another column. 1t is shown
that substantially no trustworthy record of
fines and arrests is kept; that money is col
lected, RENTED, paid over, OF made way
with after a miscellaneous fashion which adj
mits of no reckoning and bears no intelligent
scrutiny; that the accounts of different officers
cannot be made to tally; and that the officers

sumo the meaning of the admission is clear.

The case of McClelland against Justice Dow
ling, however befOgged by technical palayer,
shows pretty clearly that the Tombs Justice has
his favorite lawyers, and promptly ressts the
intrusion of strangers into the snug family
circle We say nothing of the dispensaton of
justice to sinners by Judge Bowling;
but any one frequenting his Court will
acknowledge that his manner is
often vulgar and Extensively impertinent.
The recent changes of police captains have
also stirred mp the TOmbs crowd, and from the
squrming made by the family party we judge
that the well-knOwn ring of shysters and
straw-bail dealers is likely to be broken up.
If Mr.. McClelland's fight for the right to prac-
tIce before the irate Justice aids in effecting
this object he will do a needed public service.
