"THE AppRoA CHING -pRIsIARIF5l.


The time is at hand when the people
will be called upon to choose anew most
of the city officers. About this time,
editors who lay great claim to purity of
heart begin to exhort the dear people to
"put forward the best man" &C., saw
ing away on these old saws till they
imagine people profoundly impressed
with sense of their goodness and then
proceed straight to work for those can
didates, from whom they expect to reap
greatest advantage.
Well-the REGISTER is willing -and
while not claiming to be "the original
Jacobs nor anybody's Moses in partieu
lar, yet it has an opinion or two of its
own to ventilate. 1t proposes grinding
no ones axe in particular and all it has
to say is quickly said. Only two single
suggestions are proposed. First, tn t
every man who proposes to rote tick
ct, should go to the Primary and help
make the ticket. If the people of brains
and public spirit will but turn out to
the Primaries, all this fol-de-rol about
"best men" or any other kind of men
can be dispensed with-one primary of
sensible working men is worth more than
all the editorials tooters in America.
Second Beware of professional Re-
formers, They are the Scribes and
Pharisees of this latter age-ever
thanking God that they are not as other
men are, their phylacteries broadandwrit
ten on each laudable intent to reform
everybody but themselves. Beware OF
them-for pretense saying long pray
ers against extravaganza and singing re-
trenchment psalms, while plotting Gag
erly for personal spoils and driving
through such bills as the famous WAY
erly Park Bill. Whited sepulchres are
they, crying in the market places about
our mountainous load of debt" and
yet inwardly proposing to double this
load of debt at one swoop to aid an al
ready profitable Real Estate specula-
ton Beware of whatever you
do, friends and fellow citizens do not
oh do not put up any more Reformers for
office-at least not till the breed has
improved ! Real Estate Register.

EMPHASIS Some years ago there was
student at the Thcologocal Seminary
at Andover who had an excellent opinion
Of his own talents. On one occasion he
asked the professor who taught elocution
at the time, "What do especially need
to learn in this departments You
ought first to learn to read, said the
professor "Oh | can read now, re-
pied the student The professor handed
the young man Testament, and point
ing to the twenty fifth verse OF the
twenty fourth chapter Of Lukc's Gospel.
he asked him to read that The student
read Then he said unto them, O fools,
and slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets have spoken. "Ah, said
the professor, they were fools for be
lieving the prophets, were they?' OF
course that was not right, aud so the
young man tried again 80, fools, and
slow of heart TO believe all that the
prophets have spoken. "The prophets
then, are sometimes liars Y asked the
professor. mo. % fools and slow OF
heart to believe all that the prophets have
spoken. >" According to this reading"
the professor suggested, 1.-The prophets
were notorious liars This was not q
satisfactory conclusion, and so another
trial was made %, fools, and slow OF
heart to believe all the prophets have
spoken " see now. said the pro
fessor; "thc prophets wrote the truth,
but they spoke lies" This last criticism
discouraged the student, and he acknow.
ledged that he did not know how to read
The difficulty lics in the fact that the
words slow Of heart to believe applies
to the whole Of the latter part Of the sen
tencc, and emphasis on any particular
word entirely destroys the meaning -

A Remarkable Disappearance.
[From the New Ysrk World.l

Oaa of the most singular phenomena
Of the re is the abrHpt manner IN when
the redoubtable Ku Klux klan folded
their tents like the Arabs and silently
stole away Immediately after tue prss
dental election. The my sterious disap-
pearance OF the ten tribes OF lsrael Is
scarcely parallel to it, for that great de-
parture was heraldcd by prophecy and
succeed,d by soleitude and inquiry Bus
ths Ku-Klux have completely gone, and
left behind them not even sulphursous
stencil, nor SO much Of a trail as FOX
HOUND could follow Nothing remains
of them, indeed, but the thirteen bulky
volumes ofrsports and testimony, which,
like children aud other lukuries, have to
be paid for, and sundry written but IN
uttered speeches Of members OF congress
which lie folded away IN the desks IKE
bridal garments never worn.
The formidable conspiracy whlch
threatened the existence OF nine states
which banished the loyal men OF the
South by the huadred thousands; which
exhausted the energies of the department
of justice, aud occupied a large part OF
the army Of the United States; which
fired the Northern heart once more, kept
the executive sleepless with many cares
and induced an appalled, congress to
drive wagon.road through the ronsti-
tuition which forced Judge Bond to
whet the sword Of justice until 1t was
sharper than serpents tooth, and n'ied
the A bany penitentiary with crackers
and sand-hillers-this mighty conspira'
cy vanished in single day, and 80 com
plctsly that it is not necessary to have
memory as treacherous as Mr. Colfax .,
or needing to be so often refreshed ns
Mr.. Onkes Ames'. for one to doubt II the
thing really ever existed, even in lmagln
alton. The troops which were impera'
lively needed To defeat the traitorous do
srnus of the $50 900 rough riders. are
suddenly Withdrawn to avert the certain
ly subordinate peril likely to scnsua to
he country from Capt Jack and his two
hundred Modoc braves. The heads so
indiscrimina,ely chopped of by Bonds

900 extra court expenses-sre uncefe-
moniouslv replaced by the presidents
pardyns and, to cap the climax, Tue
president is himself contemplating an I'M
mediate tour into the very heart OF those
regions where, AS a thousand witnesses
swore to the congressional committec,no
Union mans life was safe for = single
hour.
What docs this mean! Can it by any
chance be possible that presidential proc
lamations, congressional Investigations.
and suborncd testimony Of interested or
ignorant witnesses do not really make
