Tie Senate Committee on the Judiciary
has concluded to report the KuKlux bill with
slight alterations which will neither weaken
nor strengthen its essential provisions, but
which are intended to facilitate their execution
in the courts of law. We are promised brief
and practical discussion Of this measure, and
an early vote and adjournment 1t is to be
expected that the Republicans Of the Senate
will be as unanimous as those of the House
in this last well-considered effort to end the
war in the South and the Democrats will, oil
course, continue their blind opposition to a
measure which is equally necessary and ad-
vantageous to both parties if they both hon
estly desire peace and order A united vote
in the Senate in favor of this bill would put
a stop at once to lawlessness in the South.
But that logical peTversity which has kept the
Democrats in a minority for the last ten years
seems fated to keep them still in an attitude
of Platonic sympathy with treason, which will
prevent the immediate pacifcatiOn OF the
country, and still further postpone the posi-
bility Of a Democratic Administration.

The Young Mems Christian Association in Dover,

whether Punch should be admitted TO its reading
room. After long and exceedingly silly exposure
Of Mr.. Punch's alleged iniQuities, he was declared
mot Guilty" by majority Of four; and his sheet
may now be found upon the tables. We confess
that we are somewhat surprised by this incident.
We have certainly thought Punch of late Especially
in its letter press) exceedingly stupid, but never
wicked, nor bright enough to be wicked to demor-
alizing extent, even with the worst intention. We
can heartily recommend the publication TO all who
think their spirits should be little dashed by good
mournful reading; but to those already in the
dumps the dose might prove fatal

Their conviction, and the heavy sentences

While no one can condemn the sympathy Tor

In printing to-day Mr.. Rufus Hatch's circular
No. 8, we desire TO say that we do not know
that its every statement is true; but we do
know that Mr.. Hatch is right in his general
position that the power to increase fares and
freights at pleasure ought not to be left in the
hands of Railroad managers. Rates should be
fixed by law, and liable to be enhanced only
with the consent of some responsible public
authority. To this end, Mr.. Hatchs manifestoes
strongly contribute, and we commend them to
general attention.

When will the Democracy learn that cheap
expressions of sympathy with Union soldiers
and freedmen deceive nobody, and actually
insult the more intelligent Mr.. Fields of the
Albany Assembly has been indulging in these
insulting expressions in submitting a report to
refund the money which drafted men paid for
substitutes during the war. OF course there is
no serious intention to do anything of the
kind, for the simple reason that the Demo-
cratic party has not the power nor the State
the money necessary to do it. 1t is made only
for future use in political campaigns.

Milk is milk and if possible, they mean to have It,
and not water and chalk, in the City of Boston,
which requires $4,000 gallons of the lacteal iluid
daily. SO they have inspectors who watch over the
dealers and their compounds, and upon whose report
it appears that fines to the amount of $500 have been
inflicted upon the diluters during the past year.
Boston keeps within the city limits 1887 cows, and
pays nearly SS,0OOOOO per annum for her milk. With
all her care it is intimated, however, that more
