CIVIL RIGHTS.

The attempt to force social equality up
on the people by acts of either Congress or
the State legislatures seems to be futile
The following instance, is only one out
of huHdreds:
In Mississippi they have a State civil
rights act, and numerous ingenious de-
vices are resorted to in order to evade its
provisions. The most common method
employed IN hotels and restaurants is to
have two apartments for the service of
meals, one marked "private" reserved for
whites, while the other is open to the COL
ored population. In Macon, IN that State,
a few days ago, a colored man named
Dick Gray, who was formerly barber, af-
ter having entertained Senator Ames and
several other politicians, white and black
at his own residence, visited a restaurant
and ordered supper for two. This restau-
rant Is owned and conducted by a negro,
several shades darker than Gray, but new
ertheless he adopts the same distinctions
with regard to his guests that are applied
by whi,es In the same vocation. When
Gray found his supper spread in the apart
ment devoted to his colored brethren, his
indignation had no bounds, and after de-
nOuncing the restaurant keeper In un-
measured terms for discriminating against
people of his own color, he entered a
complaint against him for violating the
civil rIghts law. This case illustrates the
futility of civil rights laws. Even the
negroes themselves will not respect such
acts where their custom is derived in
large part from white people.

Our German contemporary, the VoZks-
fTelGfad, calls upon the Democratic ma
jority In the General Assembly of Ohio
to repeal the Adalr Liquor Law. They
will probably modify it considerably 1t
contains provisions which are opposed to
the law of evidence, and which afford op-
portunities for fraud One is where the
wife is authorized to bring a suit as a
femme sole to recover damages for her
husbands drinking by which be may be
deprived of work ana business. This, it
will be seen, renders too easy, a collusion
between the husband and the wife, by
which the unfortunate liquor dealer Is
Victimized. There should be more guards
and restrictions. For all the evil conse-
quences of the liquor traffic for which the
dealer may be personally held liable, such
as selling to chronic and confirmed drunk
ards, as well as to minors, we are in favor
Of severe accountability, but we are not
In favor of other provisions of the Adair
Law, which are OF the most indefensible
and tyrannical character, and defeat
themselves by their very severity'-CEn-

Loss OF State Funds.

Following right after the announcement
that the Ohio State Board Of Agriculture
had lost $15, 900 by the suspension of the
First National bank Of Mansfield comes
the announcement, in a special to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, that a radical official,
"H. S. Babbitt, chief clerk of the State
Auditors Office, who is custodian Of the
funds of the Agricultural College, has over
thirty thousand dollars of the funds of
that institution locked up In the CONNER
cial Bank, which suspended last week
This Is last years interest of the endow-
ment fund, and in accordance with law

to be had.

A Bishop 1Iurdered-TheF French Set
Element of st. Pieve the Scene.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18-Private adYices
received from the French settlement of
st. PIeve, give information of the assassi-
nation Of Monseigneur DeVere, the first
Bishop of that diocese. The Bishop was
murdered IN the sacrIsty Of the chapel of
St. Jean de Rue. having been stabbed IN
the heart and lungs while at prayer Two
dirks were found on the floor, and one
Emil Palatiere, cousin of the Bishop, was
charged with the crime and arrested. 1t
is said the crime was induced from the
fact that Bishop Devere inherited all the
fortune of Paiatiere's father, q wealthy
Frenchman and once an extensive stock
holder in the MessageIrie Imperial steam
ship Company. The murdered Bishop
was consecrated in August last by Arch
bishop Dupanloup at Orleans, France.

TIE defeat of Mr. Shank is very much
to be regretted. He had served faithfully
and honestly in the House, and he would
have been q credit to Hamilton county IN
the Senate. Mr.. Shank was a victim OF
circumstances. His defeat was not the
result of personal unpopularity. He was
singled out by Burton, a gentleman who
expended a great deal Of money IN a
questionable way, and lost number OF
votes through fraudulent tickets issued
by him. These Burton tickets were ex-
act counterfeits of the Democratic ticket,
and many of Mr.. Shank's friends voted
them under misapprehension. Then Hal
Ter was against him, and a disreputable
fellow named Davis assisted to array all
the Building Associations against him
upon trumped-up story about hostility
manifested against them by Mr.. Shank at
Columbus last winter But MIR. Shank Is
a young man, and he has brilliant politi-
cal future Cincinnati Enquirer.

GRANT is puzzled to find out why, when
silver is at so low premium, it still keeps
out of the channel Of circulation This
reminds one of the profound perplexity
of old George III as to how the apple got
inside of the dumpling. If Grant will
order Congress to Withdraw the forty odd
millions of fractional shin plasters, and
the millions of one and two dollar legal
tender and National bank notes, he'll see
the silver coins take their proper place in
jiffy; unless indeed the premium comes
around as soon as the demand arises.

The English Agricultural Laborers'
movement has been reinforced by Bish-
op of the Established Church. DIR. Har-
old Brown, the newly appointed preIate
of Winchester, is announced in the latest
English papers as having declared himself
on the side of the Union. At a recent
conference he told the clergy that he
feared that in all Protestant countries,
not the Church only, but religion itself
was losing its hold upon the poor. There
was no sufficient reason for this, he added,
in the Church of England, at al events,
and he went on to say that "the minister
of God is the natural defender of the
poor, and he had better err by defending
him too much than by deserting HIM
when he needs defense" These Weighty
words, coming from such a source, can
hardly fail to exert considerable influence
in behalf of the workingmen. in their
pending struggle with the landowners, at
least so far as his diocese is concerned.
Slowly comes hungry people, as a lion creeping
higher,
GIares At one that mods nd winks behind a slowly
diving fire"

above Osceola, Arkansas, on the Missis-
sippi, above Memphis, at four O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, the steamer Mary Z.
Poe was discovered on fire. The flames
gained so much headway that the boat
was run on the bar, but the deck passen-
gers were forced to swim TO save their

sengers on board, Of whom the chamber
maid and one cabin boy, one cabin passen-
ger, two female and one male deck passen-
ger are missing, and the pilot, Hans Cow

Line, and was freight carrier The City
Of Helena arrived at the scene soon af-
ter, and rendered all the assistance possi-
bic, and brought the survivors to this
CITY. The clerk Cf the Pee, John w.
Poe, leaves for st. Louis this afternoon.
The Poe was on down trip.
Part of the cargo of the Mary e.. Poe
was seventy-fve barrels Of OIL, which

The Revival Continuing to Spread
We advanced far enough outside the
Democratic line TO meet a body of disaf--
fected Republicans. There was a upion
OF forces. There was q defeat. But the
union was not without its advantage It
was lIberaizer, and its effects sre seen
IN the fact that the Democracy of TODAY
Is no more the Democracy of four wears
ago than the Liberal Republicans who
supported Greeley are the same they were
when they supported Grant. There has
been progress, and, if the Democratic
party should stand chance of coming
into power, it could not be denounced with
any reasonableness or truth as an OBJ
structlve, reactionary party. The penny
whistles OF the party will of course make
a great squeak and noise. But the fact
Is that the country has got beyond the
epoch of the war issues. and good or had
hopeful or hopeless, the one tangible
scheme of political action rests for the mo-
ment within the competency of Mr.. Thur
man. Deplore 1t or deny it. as men may,
there s the fact plainly staring us IN the
face, and 1t is not going to get out of any
mans way. 1t may be turned to good or
bad account 1t may prove the merest
Dead Sea fruit. But the organization at
its back IS too strong, the numbers of
people who are deeply enlisted in it are
TOO great, the minds controlling Il are too
respectable to be set aside. It viii run
Its course to success or failure as other
movements have. But for the present
the New Yorz World is right. The only
opposition to the Administration. weak
or strong as it may be, is the Democratic
party.
There was time when the Democratic
party was the party of tolerance. the
party of progress and the party of Union
according to our reading Of Mr.. Jeffer
son he was as broad and soundin hispoliti-
cal teaching as Mr. Lincoln, and we know
nothing IN the career of General Grant
which entities him.to be considered a bet
ter patriot or more progressive states
man than General Jackson. The revival
OF the historic Democratic party, the party
OF Jefferson and Jackson, ought to terrify
no man who sincerely seeks the berma- .
nence Of republican institutions. The
modern Democracy, the Democracy whose
story Is divided between the interesting
volumes Of Mr.. John CoVode and the
equally entertaining records of the So
