a cru,nb Of Comfort.

There has nothing transpired for
a long time that has go elated the
Radical Ring IN this region and af-
forded them as much comfort as
Judge Thurman's alIusion in his
speech at Waverly to General Gar
fields connection with the Credit Mo-
bilier iniquity, in which he expressed
the opinion that there was not suff-
cient proof before the investigating
committee to fasten corruption in
that transaction at the Generals door.
Doubtless Senator Thurman so be-
lieves, but it will be very difficult to
convince Democrats and hosts of Re-
publicans in this region that that
committee, which was composed
mostly of Garfeld's political asso-
ciates, after having carefully weighed
the whole testimony, made their re-
port in the premises without sufficient
testimony TO warrant their conclusion
in the premises, and they found the
facts in reference to Garfield identi-
cal with the case of Kelley mp to the
point of the reception of the check
for 1929, the fruit of ten shares of
stock which he agreed to purchase of
Oakes Ames, but. which he never
paid for. And the committee was
disposed to grant the request of Gar
field to Ames when he went to visit
him just before Ames was about to
appear before the committee to tes-
tify-let him off s'as easily as possi-
ble.D The cloak of charity which
our distinguished Senator throws
over the shoulder of Garfield covers
q multitude of sins.

burned at four o'clock Tuesday morn

escape, but the flames spread SO rap
idly that he was suffocated before he
could open the door. The fire had
made such headway before an alarm
was sounded, that no assistance could
be rendered to the inmates. The

ing her husband George Wilcox,

The Radical stumpeEs and Journals
are constantly pirate about ;havingpaid
off several millions oof the public
debt, but they forget 10 tell where
they got the money, and how much
they have drawn from the pockets OF
the producing people annually, and
that IN the meantime the wealthy
bondholder has enjoyed immunity
from taxation. Itis very. easy matter
for any one to pay a debt when some
body else will furnish him. with the
money. But how long win the labor
ing CLASSES endure this thing of being
taxed to pay off the national debt,
while there is d wealthy privileged
class exempt from taxation? Such
privileges in land boasting of the
equality of its citizens, is disgraceful,
and the leaders of the party confer
ring such unequal privileges, instead
of boasting of their iniquity, should
hang their heads in shame. o'i p .'ft

The Kansas City Times says ssThe
only hope of this nation is in the ul-
timates triumph and permanency of
Democratic principles. We were
founded upon Democratic ideas, and
their failure would be an upheayal of
foundations which would bring the
whole governmental superstructure
toppling and tnmbilng about our
heads. Without Democracy there is
no Republicanism in the common ac-
coptation' of the term. Democracy is
the great sub stratum hpon which the
fair fabric Of the Republic is based,
and just as Democracy is weakened,
the safety of the Republic is endan-
gered.a Recognizing the. fact that De-
mocfacy is, The safety Of the Govern
ments we fail to see the necessity of
attempting the organization OF new
party, which would necessarily be en-
tireIy deficient in so faiir: as it did not
embody Democratic principles"

The Radical ring-mastsrs are be-
coming considerably alarmed. for the
fate of Mr.. Beatty, their candidate
for County Treasurer. They charge
that Mr.. .Goss, the Democratic candi-
date for that office, is circulating a
pledge and obtaining the signatures
of Republicans who agree to vote for
him. This they regard as an unpar-
donable sin. We know nothing
about the matter, but cannot under
stand why it is any more an intolera-
Bile offense for Republicans to refuse
to support Mr.. Beatty than it.was for
that gentleman to withhold his sup
port from Andrew Jackson when he
was running as the nominee of that
party for Clerk. d This is said to be a
free country and it will beuseless to

voting as they please i. f..s..5 -,

Germania Assembly Rooms last night, for the pur-
pose Of discussing certain arrangements for con-
ference with the Mayor, the Comptroller and other
heads of the municipal government in regard to
the enforcement OF certain state law, known as
the Eight Hour law. Although the chances OF sue
cessful renewal OF general eight hour strike
are few this Spring EFFORTS will not be lacking on
the part Of the trades unions, Influenced, as they
are by the 'lnternationals," to press their IA.
vorite scheme OF enforcing the eight hour labor
system, and they look upon the municipal govern
ment as best suited to solve the problem by test
ing the matter. The committee, which was pre-
sided over by James Best, OF the StonemasOns'
Union, was composed OF delegations repre-
senting the following trades and organza-
tons The masons, United Bricklayers,

painters the stair builders marble p0lishers, the
Measures were also discussed to compel the Har-
lem Railroad Company to comply with the provi.
sions OF the aforementioned State law, the strict
enforcement OF which, 1t Is expected, will involve
o lasting salvation and emancipation OF the work
ing classes. Several subcommittee were formed,
and received directions TO take further action In
the matter.

Thomas Costamagna, OF 1872 Leonard street, were
taken before Justice Ledwith, at the Jefferson Mar
ket Police Court, vest erday, charged with stealing
two volumes Of engravings entitled "wilkies GAL

ton 4 Co., on Broadway. Costamagna offered the
books for sale at the publishing house Of G. w.
Carlton, in Union square, very much below their
value. This circumstance aroused the suspicion OF
the clerk, and Costamagna was detained while a
messenger went down to Appeton's and ascertained

tempted TO defend himself against the furious on
slaught. At length the Judge was rescued, and
