The brooklyn Union very sensibly and correct
~ remarks that Journalism" means really,
the evening newspapers. They give the news
OF to-day; the morning papers print the news of
Yesterday. The genius of the people requires

The city authorities are trying to shuttle out
OF their failure to have the city properly lighted
on dark, rainy nights by attempting to throw
the responsibility on those who light the lamps.
THIS viii not do. The city government con-
tract with the gas company to furnish light for
only twenty-one nights IN the month. leaving
out the nights when there is a moon. or sup
posed to be. So that when the weather il
stormy, and the Corporation moon fails to do
DUTY, the citizens have to stumble about In
Egyptian darkness If q hundredth part of the
Corporation money now being squandered by
the Bowen crowd in piling up mud-pies for
electioneering purposes were expended In the

lighted and best paved city I'm the sountry, in

ment made in favor Of the removal Of the cap

CHECK ON TUE CAPITOL MovERs.-The conn
try has cause TO be grateful to Senator Stewart,
OF Nevada, who on last evening made telling
and eloquent, though brief, speech against
placing the National Capitol on wheels and
trundling IL about the country, to be the bone
Of contention for every little one-horse village
IN the Mississippi Valley. His views on that
question should go to the world. Certainly his
suggestions concerning the folly of this mad
scheme TO benefit a few land specializing rings
out West, at the expense of breaking up all the
associations clustering around the CITY of Wash
ington, were well timed and forcibly put, and
viii find hearty response among all right
thinking men.

The trial of Mcfarland for the murder OF
Richardson was ended yesterday by the sum-
ming up of District Attorney Garvin for the
prosecution and the charge of Recorder Hackett
to the jury. After three hours elaboration a
verdict of "NOt guilty. was rendered, and
Mcfarland was Set at liberty.
This result has been expected from the COM
meneement of the trial. In fact, it seems now
to be settled, as the unwritten law at least that
the injured husband who kills the man who in
jures him shall 90 scott free. As the New York
Sun says:
"One good thing at any rate will result from
the McE arland trial. IL will Kill the Free Love
party as dead As a door-nail."

The feeble efforts of a revolutionary character
IN progress In France are capable of exciting
derision only. They are merely riotous and not
dangerously so, at that If the red republicans
who ineite, but take good care to keep out Of,
these disturbances, knew what they wanted,
and could distinguish the difference between
Incense and liberty, we could sympathize with
them As II Is, il Is greatly to their benefit that

SINKING SLOWLY.

Diseases that progress rapidly to crisis arc
not the only ones to DO dreaded. Canker or dry
rot does not blast treo as suddenly az stroke
Of lightning, but unless arrested, 1t destroys It
40 certainly and in like manner chronic debility
although 1t does not kill With tho swiftness Of
yellow fever, is as to sop the springs of life
eventually as any acute disease, If not checked
by invigorating medication. There is something
inexpresslbly touching in tho spectacle of prema.
ture decay. Lsnguor, pallor, emaciation, depres-
sion OF spirits, and dstaste for exerton arc its
ordinary symptoms, and they should be promptly
met by tonic treatment The best invigorant and
exhilarant that can be administered in O case of
this kind is Hostettot's Stomach Bittcrs. The
stimulating principle Of tho preparation rouses
tho dormant energies Of the system, and the
strengthening and regulating properties give @
permanent and healthful impulse to the vital
forces thus brought into play. Tho failing appe-
tite is re.awakened, the process of digestion and
assimilation are quickened, the quality Of the
blood is improved, the socretions become moro
natural, and every organ that contributes to tho
nourishment of the body undergocs salutary
change. BY theso means tho repair of tho phys.
cal structure is effected and its health and yigcr
restored. In no class Of diseases has the bonil-
cent operation of the Bitters boon moro marked
and striking than in those characterized by gon-
oral debility and nervous prostration. Ladies
affected with those ailments find In this most
wholesome of all tonios and oorrectivos the saf.
est and surcst means of relief. It is strong to
restore and powerless to injure. Such is the
uniform testimony Of clouds Of witnesses"

TO BE AVOIDED.


When speakers on both sides alternate
addresses to mixed crowd, it tends to
disorder. When one side is evidently
getting the best Of tho argument, the
other is tempted to quaah proceedings
with riot. Hence the Scott ring re-.
sorted to bricks at Chester, whom they
were geiting the worst of the debate.
Let each side hold its own meetings,
and address tho sane people at different
times. A mixed programme must lead
to trouble and should be avoided. Tho
Union Reform wants order aud hon esty.
The Scottites evidently prefer the oppo.
site.
