What's all their brains for I'd like

What good is their reading if they
can't write?
On the rostrum or stump they all
can "blow"
And spread and soar-like a pig
con or kite.
But cot line could they write for me
To print or sell, on New Years day;
But I'm bound to have an Address,
you see,
And I'm bound to make you buy
one and pay.
I've brought you q paper once q
week
For q year; and many weary mile
have walked to serve you Now,
bespeak
Your favor, whether with frown OF

The paper brought gave all the

But a deal of reading it took to find it;

screws
Ofmy machine. and soon I'll grind il
All out in brief, and make it shorter
Than q modern sermon. This saves
you time.
But before you get it l want 1

And Italy's King within an hour

The lands fair face is bathed in gore,
Earth's bosom strewn with countless
dead
Insatiate vengeance calls for more!
Society's foundation quakes--
] The wisest plans of statesmen fail,
The tread of mighty armies shakes
The very Earth! Naught can avail
To stay the carnage. China, Spain,
Brazil, Columbia, all the lands
Within LaPlata's fertile plain,
Have struggled in the murderous
| hands
/ or bloody WAR within the year,
| Or struggle now; and human life,
i Regardless of it's hope or fear,
| Like chaff is wasted In the strife.
That 'sick man., TURKEY, soon will
The guest Of Russia--and Europc's

Will know no more the Osmanli,
| The masters of the Turkish race.
| But still, the fruits of Peace we
| reap,
I Art and science their wealth dis
play,
j Discovery and Invention keep
I Side by side with wars array.

IT is announced thet the accounts Of the
United States Navy Department in England
have been transferred from the house of
Barring Brothers & Go. to the recently y-estsb-
lished house of jay Cooke, McOulloch h
Co., at London. Barring Brothers have had
the management of those funds for over thirty
years, and the change is very fEattering
recognition of the new firm. The other
United States accounts, held for long time
by English houses, will s9so at no distant
period be placed in the hands of American
brokers. The house of Jay Cooke, McCul-
loch & Co., although but recently established,
has already won for itself frst-class reputa-
ton among the great English financial firms.

HE DEMOCRACY.
Captain James II. Cooper, the Candidate
for SurVeYOr.GenerRl.

Captain James II. Cooper, the Candidate
for SurveyOr-GenerRl.
Captain James II. Cooper, of Lawrence county,
who received the nomination for Surveyor-General
at the recent Democratic State Convention, is
native Of Allegheny county. Losing both his
parents in early life he had something OF a struggle
with the world, and is what known asa 'self-made
man." At the outbreak of the Rebellion he enlisted
as private in a company which was recruited in
Lawrence county, and afterwards became well
known as Battery B, Of the 1st Artillery, Pennsyl-
vania Reserves. Mr.. Cooper was chosen orderly
sergeant at the start and was chosen captain on
the reorganization Of the regiment to which it was
attached. Captain Cooper participated with his bat
terry in all the campaigns OF the Army of the Po-
tomsc from the beginning of the until August,
1884, when he returned heme on the expiration Of
his term of enlistment. On being mustered out the
officers OF the other batteries OF the regiment Joined
in recommending him for the colonelcy this recon-
mendution being endorsed by General Meade and
other officers of high rank.
Captain Cooper has never held any civil office. AT
the organization of the present Legislature, he
made the Democratic candidate for Sergeant-at-
Arms OF the House OF Representatives, but the Re-
publicans having fair majority, was defeated, as
amatter OF course. at the same time the Republi-
can Senators cast their votes for him for Sergeant
at Arms of the upper branch OF the Legislature,
hoping to attract or two Democratic votes, and
thus defeat the caucus nominee OF the majority.
Captain Cooper, however, was too true party man
to attempt to slip into office in this Aanking fashion,
and his involuntary candidacy in the Senate was
failure. His friends claim for him unquestioned in
tegrity and fine business qualifications Being hap
PLY unknown to the people of the state in civil life,
this claim must be allowed to pass for the present.

vital essence OF q genuine republicR
system of government, because it is
folly to talk of people governing a nation,
State, or city, if all the facts affecting such
government are not freely and clearly dis
closed through the agency of the press. The
existing laws and constitutional guarantees
provide for free comment on officials, Office
hunters, and governmental affairs. But
there is a large, legitimate domain of news
paper comment in which the press is not so
we'll protected as il should be. 1t has become
one Of its accepted duties to expose frauds of
various descriptions, and to aid
in the detection of crime. In
assisting the officers of justice to track down
fugitive murderer, in unearthing dens of
iniquity, in calling the attention of Courts
and juries, as well as Legislatures and Con-
crosses, to crying evils, ii is forever laboring
to promote the best interests of the body
polite. Sometimes, however, in discharging
these duties, mistakes are inadvertently made
and injuries are inflicted upon innocent pri-
vate individuals; but it seems only fair and
just that where the publisher can prove that
his statements were true, or that they were
made for an unquestionably good purpose,
such considerations should be allowed to
have due weight with a jury. The
control of newspapers sometimes passes
into the hands of utterly reckless men, who
do not hesitate to wantonly assail private
character or to publish unblushing false
hoods and it is to the interest of all properly
conducted newspapers, as we'll as the public,
that the courts should furnish q speedy
remedy for such journalistic outrsges Even
the truth, so far as it is applicable to private
character, should not be published, unless
some important public purpose is to be
served thereby. But if an expert pickpocket
visits country town for the express
purpose of plying his nefarious
vocation, surely an editor should
not be punished as libeller for putting his
readers on their guard against such rascal,
and denied an opportunity alike of proving
the guilt of the pick2ocket and the good mo-
tive which induced the publication. So, in a
hunt for a murderer. The whole country was
excited over the Nathan murder. Various in
dividuals were suspected, and the supplied
proofs of their guilt were freely discussed.
AS the law now stands several of these sus-
pected persons can institute series of libel
suits, with fair prospect of success; but it is
not just, after the newspapers aid in tracking
down many real criminals, that they should
be continually liable to punishment for their
occasional mistakes.
Fortunately for the press, its most import
ant rights are guaranteed by constit utional
provisions. But in the details and forms of
legal proceedings against it, there is still re-
tanned some of the worst machinery of the
common law of England, which was devised
for the express purpose of destroying the
liberty of journalism. All such antiquated,
arbitrary, and iniquitous relics of English
despotism should be destro yed.

TIE PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

THE bill introduced yesterday by Mr.. Nagle,
and promptly passed by the Senate, will not
answer, and the Washington Square property
holders and the members of the Legislature
may as well make up their minds to the fact
that all the public buildings must and will be
put up on Penn Square. Mr.. Nagle's bill,
by authorizing the construction of the NUM-
cipal Offices on the four Penn Squares,
and by retaining the courts and their
offices in their present locality, practically
surrenders to the Washington Square ring
most of what they ask for; and it is, like all
the other bills introduced at the present
session of the Legislature, disgraceful trick
to defeat the expressed wishes of the people
of this city. Property must be very valuable
in the neighborhood of Washington and Inde-
pendence Squares, or the holders of it could
not be able to pay in the manner they are
doing to carry their point.
But, after all, money cannot do everything,
and although the Senate is willing to do the
bidding of the anti-Penn Square ring, the
House is not yet captured, nor is it likely to
be. There is some force yet in public opinion,
and certain Philadelphia members of the
Legislature have too much regard for their
future political prospects to dare to upset the
verdict of the people of this city as expressed
at the October election.
Apart from every other consideration, it
would be piece of utter folly to attempt to
divide the public offices in the manner pro-
posed by the Nagle bill. If the public build
ings are to be put up with a regard for
economy; if they are to be heated, lighted,
ventilated, and cared for economically; and if
they are to be architectually ornamental to
the city, they must be together, and the only
| proper site for them is at the intersec-
ton of Broad and Market streets, just
where the commissioners have proposed
to put them, with the appreciation
of all the citizens of Philadelphia except GER
tain property-holders who are interested in
other localities and certain old foges who
make it point to protest against every pub
lie Improvement that may be proposed. The
Nsgle bill is nothing but the mean trick of
men who are determined to rule or ruin, and
it is the last desperate effort of an unscrupu-
lous ring of interested persons who are
determined to leave nothing undone to carry
their point and to prevent the public buildings
from being placed where the people of Phila.
delphia have decided that they should be.
The only proper disposition that can be made
of this bill is for the House to squelch it in
the same manner that it did its predecessors
This we are certain will be done, and with the
failure of their last attempt to upset the
popular verdict of last October, it is to bt
hoped that the anti-Penn Squarites will be
forced to come to the conclusion that il is nc
use for them longer to kick against the
pricks, and that they had better give up thei
project for placing any of the public build
ings upon either Washington or Independence,
Square as q bad job.
