THE following paragraph attributed to
Democratic paternity and relating to SEN
ator Hendricks, now Governor of Indiana,
Is going the rounds of the Western press:
Politically he committed hdri-kari, and
as a Democratic politician has now no
more vitality than a defunct army mule.
In signing the so-called temperance bill
he has voluntarily placed himself outside
the Democratic organization, and proves
himself unworthy their confidence and re-
gard. They are done with him henceforth
and his name will be erased from the list
Of their party leaders and sink into obscu-
Tity.
Gov. Jno. c. Brown appreclating Hen
bricks fate took the opposite direction
and vetoed the tipping bill. He proposes
10 save the Democratic party of Tennessee
from going to pieces on any such a law.
He thinks il unconstitutional for the peo-
pie of free State TO vote whether or not
they want licensed tippling shops about
their homes.

inc phrase he uttered during the trial WAS
very auiet one Marshal Bazaine had made
the fatal admission that he did not regard the
C,oyernment of National Defense ~ having
apy authority over him. He said there was
no Government. no anything. There was
"still France replied the Duke dAumale,
and the word seemed to strike the accused
like a bullet. No further development during
the trial produced such an effect as this brief
colloauy. Ii contained the very essence OF
the charge and the defense.
Marshal Bazaine committed the irreparable
error of regarding himself as under greater
obligations of duty and fidelity to the I'M
perial family than to France. To a man CON
situated as he was there was no higher ideal
of duty than this. He gained his greatest
military and political rank in the most corrupt
and dshOnorable business in which the
Emperor ever cngaged-that Mexican cam
paign which began in a shameless piece OF
stock gambling, and ended III treachery anu
disgrace For untlinching devotion To the
Emperor in all this business he was maze
Marshal of France and Senator, and, later, MS
appreciatve master showed his cohtinueu
confidence in him by making him commander
in-chief of the Imperial Guard. When the
Empire fell at Sedan by its own inherent weak
nesses and faults, the very idea OF Obedience
seemed to have been shattered in the mind OF
the Marshal. His heart and soldierly instinct
still turned for their orders to ChlsehurSt ana
Wilhemsh0he instead of to Paris He would
have despised himself if he had found his
allegiance wavering at such an hour. The

70 him but disagreeable incident of the
moment. He felt that his duty was to save
French army intact for the true master OF
France, when he should return to his own.
He il not the first or the last man who has
made such q mistake. Fitz John Porter was
As good a soldier and a. gallant a man, and
he said alter Bull Run, "The fact is, am not
"loyal to John Popc.r The spirit eyinced in
that phrase cost him his epaulettes. NJ. de
Chateaubriand published Il letter to the Ouch
esse dc Berr, beginning, Madame, your
&" soh is my King" and nearly all
France applauded him and the reigning
King let the chivalrOus treason pass.
The quality of such lapses as these depends
greatly on their effect and upon the circum-
stances in which they occur A Court Martial
of his peers has sentenced Marshal Bazaine to
DEGRADATION and death for an excess of per-
sonal loyalty, no greater in degree than that
displayed every day by 0stentatious adherents
of the COmte de ChambOrd. But they are not
molcsted, because their homage at trohsdorh
does little harm, and he is punished with ex-
cmplary cruelty because his devotion to Napo-
leon was--in spite of his passionate protesta-
tions-treason to France. II is not fair to say
he is condemned as Il scapegoat. But 1t Is
reasonable to expect the mercy asked for by
the Court, because his crime is one so COM
mon in France.

THE BACR-P1Y DRB4TE.

The range Of discussion in the Back k-PAy de-
bate in Congress, as indeed the whole scope
of treatment of the same subject by the press
of the country, indicates an entirely superficial
view of it as a question of political morality
or social ethics. The debate fails to grasp
the great chain of causes which led so imper-
ceptibly and smoothly to the commission of
this ofense or blunder, whichever it may be
called, and it fails utterly to interpret the re-
action which has set in, or to touch the
philosophy of tO-day's sackcloth and ashes.
One gets from this discussion no ntimation
that the Salary Grab was anything more than
a sudden dishonest impulse which carried
away the weaker vessels IN Congress, and was
only resisted by the stronger and more rgidly
yirtuous and upright. The atmosphere of the
debate is charged with expediency the argu-
ment never rises above the level of petty
politics or releases itself from the eDtangle
ments of partisanship aud the complications
of selfish personal interests
Mr. Negley of Pennsylvania thought it worth
his while to impugn the motives of Mr.. Cox,
who was urging the repeal of the offensive
statute, and to charge to demageglsm the
disgusting amount of virtue" exhibited by
that gentleman. Mr.. Lawrence of Ohio en-
deavored to atone for a Back-Pay dereliction
in 1865 by the vigOr and vehemence of his
denunciation of the BackPay outrage of 1873,
which he characterized as zone of the three
great crimes of the age" His intemperate
language and offensive manner evoked from
his fellow members a series of nagging inter
rogatories under which the indiscreet Ohio
member went down with dropping plumes.
Mr. Lamison of Ohio, whose sulphurous re-
mark TO his constituents when they asked
him to resign has given him profane promi-
nence in connection with this matter, en-
braced the occasion to hold up Mr.. Lawrence
in ridiculous light, which it must be con-
fessed he did with great success. And 80 the
debate ran on. Pointless it could hardly be
called it bristled with points; but they were
purely personal, and the level OF 1t all was
petty and unworthy. We're it mere question

Tile SENTENCE OF R1ZIINH

The Bazaine trial has ended with the terri
BILE verdict which we indicated two months
ago He has been found guilty of the capitu-
lat0n of a fortress and of an army in the field
without having done all that was required by
duty and honor, and has been sentenced to
death and To degradation from his rank before
execution. But the Court, while finding him
technically guilty, recognized the extenuating
circumstances by which the case is surrounded.
and recommended him to executive mercy.
Marshal Bazaine spoke only word or two in his
own behalf. and they were no doubt perfectly
sincere. He said there were two things which
had always been sacred to him through forty
two years of service, Honor and Country he
had never been false to them, and he called
upon his Redeemer to witness that he had
never betrayed France.
There is no doubt that the sentence and the
protest were equally conscientious. The mem.
bers of the Court Martial were old and expe-
nenced officers, selected for their high charac-
ter and blameless regulations. 1t was presided
over by the Duke d'Aumale, who has gained
unexpected laurels by tho vigor, energy, and
capacity with which he has conducted the case.
IL has caused universal astonishment to see
what practical insight and grasp this prince
has displayed during the progress of this mo-
mentous trial after quarter of q century of
exile and apparent idleness. If his inquisition
has sometimes seemed merciless, it has never
seemed unjust. He has judged the unfortunate
soldier before him with the calmness and the

The communication of the Secretary of War
to the House of Representatives. making direct
charges of fraud and malfea5ance in Office
against Cen 0. o. Howard, in connection with
his management of the Freedmcns Bureau,
will be read with some surprise by these who
have been accustomed to think of Gen. How
ard only as very prominent and active par
ticpant in religious enterprises, and to hear
him spoken of AZ the Christian soldier. Sec
retary Bclknap seems to have given the sub
iect a very careful and thorough investigation
before bringing the matter to the attention Of
Congress. and the case as il stands has very
bad look for the General. 1t is not much to
the credit OF the committee of the Xllst Con-
eress that undertook to investigate the charges
preferred by Mr.. Fernando Wood against Gen.
Howard that they found him bameless. Nor
was il much in the latter's favor that his GER
tifcates of character at that time came from
Senators Harlan and PomerOy. The veIv best
that can be hoped for Gen. Howard in the
state of facts represented by Secretary Bel
knap is that he has been careless in his ac-
counts and the victim of dishonest subordi-
mates, and even that is a stretch of charity.

Proof of the continued vitality and growth
of the Farmers Movement at the West VIII
be found in our reports of the annual meeting
of the Masters of Oranges in Illinois, at which
700 delegates were in attendance, and OF the
State Grange of Iowa, at which the existence
of 1888 subordinate Oranges in the State with
a membership of nearly 100000 was reported.
Both the Grand Masters in their opening adj
dresses insisted Oh the necessity of adherlng
as an organization to the non-political charac-
ter with which the Oranges set out, but both
contain the pregnant suggestion to politicians
that outside of the Grange the members are
expected to take part in politics and act for
the common interest.
