The American Cmsar.

The New York Sun of last Saturday no
doubt has just grounds for the Promulga-
ton of the f)llowing patriotic sentiment
just after another election has taken place
in that city. Let the sentiment be cher
ished by every American citiz N:
ThcCn ar whose Vaccinations threaten
the liberties Of our country is q low
browed vulgar wretch. An artist who
should picture him I'll utly would represent
81 black-muZzled scoundrcl, seated in some
secluded den of debauchery in an atmos-
phere murkY with the fumes of vile whis-
key and clouds of rank tobacco smoke,
surrounded with congenial associates,
bearing tvery one of them ON hi counte-
nance the true peRitentiary stamp. Not
the impress of the brutal, daring ruff IN.
but the more detestable mark Ofa coward
IN sneak thief. The real Caesar whom
the American people have TO overthrow
Is the Ballot-BOX Stutter.
The foundation upon which rests the
whole fabric Of our republican institutions
is the ballot box. A republic Is that form
of government In which the supreme
power is vested in the people, or in rep
resentatives elected by the people and in
the United States the medium through
which the will of the people is expressed
IL the vote by ballot. So long as the pur'
ity Of the ballot box is preserved, so long
viii the principle of republlcanisn be
maintained; for, whether tho people vote
wisely or unwisely, their ballots represent
the popular voice, and If the representa-
tives to whom they delegate their power
us, their delegated authority 70 )lishly or
eorruptly, the power conferred on such
unworthy representatives may in due
time be Withdrawn without revolution or
disturbance. In short, so long as cleo
tions are conducted honestly, the people
of America exercise their constitutional
right oE s -lfgovtrnment while the mo
p1ent that fraud is committed in the cast
ing or counting of votes, Americans
lase to be their own rulers AID become
the subjects Of the most degraded class OF
criminals.
These propositions are so sclt-tyldent
that there Is no necessity for the argll-
ment to enforce them. Every man and
woman in the country of ordinary intelli'
gence knows that the preservation or Our
liberties dep nds upon maintaining the
nurItv of the ballot box and 1t setmS to
iIs nnally evident that whos0eVer aoets
,,r encourages election frauds, whether
i'm casting or counting votes, or IN max
inc fllse returns Ofany description, coh1-
mis- the most unpardonabl crime AGAINST
lihcrtU that can be imagined Tlose
who would .tIebaueh the Integrity OF el G.
tlons are as ,eAileatly traitors 10 thelr
country as these who should rise IN armed
rebellion. with the SHfereLce that, l1tk'

ROWdyism. There was an unusual

day night. A number If windows on

was general smash-up going on all ov, I

reached by man named Smith, shoe ing

In an article upon the Financial Out
look" the Pittsburgh Gazette makes state
ments that may personally apply to some
that will read this paragraph. 1t says:
"Thcre is divided opinion among III
telligent tiuanciers and business men, as
to the length of time that will be required
to relieve certain localities, and even the
country at large, from the present filan-
';ial pre- ssure. There are conditions in
volved which cannot be reasoned upon.
1t is. for example, perfectly well known
that countrymen, small dealers and small
investors, have, many Of them, with
drawn the gre tenbacks they were able to
command at the outbreak of the panic
from circulation and are boarding them.
We have not, as yet, seen an approximate
of the amount of currency thus with
drawn from active c,rcu'a ion, but it is
known to be enough to seriously cripple
business operations"

The AMERICAN MAN OF LEISURE
He is sort of lost dog. The people are
so busy, they have SO long associated per-
sonal Importance with action and useful
ness, that it is all mans life is worth to
drop out of active employment. If
Vanderbilt should quietly release his hold
of the vast railroad interests now in his
hands. and should never more show his
face in Wall street, he would practically
shrink to a nonentity. If Stewart should
retire to enjoy his piled up millions in the
quiet repose of his palace, he would cease
to be an object of interest to anybody.
1t is undeniablY true that there is nobody
in America who has so hard time as the
man of leisure. The man who has MOTH
ing to do, and nobody to help him do moth
ing, may probably be counted among the
unfortunate classes, without regard to the
amount of wealth he possesses.
This is doubtless the reason why so
many who retire from life of profitable
labor come back, after few months or
years, to their old haunts and old pur-
suits. They see that the moment they
count themselves out of active life they
are counted by their old acquaintances out
of the world. They become mere loafers
and hangers-on, and a certain sense OF
vagabondage depresses them. The climate
is stimulating, time hangs heavy on theil
hands, business is exciting, business asso.
Citations are congenial and attractive; ane
SO they go back to their industries, never
to leave them till sickness or death or ole
age removes them from the theatre oil
their efforts.

THE question whether Protestant mar
riages are dissolved by the conversion of
one of the parties to Romanism has just
been decided in Brazil. Two German
women, having married again while their
husbands were alive, the Emperor, after
consulting the consul of state, has decided
that Protestant marriages are indlssoluble,
that the two women have incurred the
guilt of bigamy, and that the priests who
performed the ceremony of marriage have
made themselves liable to criminal prose-
cution.
