The trail of the serpent is over us all.
Last term the Cornell university prize for
the essay-the highest honor of the year
was awarded youthful Cicero. who. with
the piping treble of an ineipient Stephens,
Joined the clear robust thought of a prac-
ticed thinker. His subject was history, and
the execution, style, thought and argument
were so finished and brilliant that the COM
mittee awarded the speaker the prize with
out leaving the hall. In time the wonderful
production appeared in the Cornell Review,
a publication, and then the chagrin-
ed pundits discovered, quite accidentally,
that the fine prose of the suffering senior
was copied in "chunks" from the somewhat
practiced writer, Buckle? OF course the
faculty were full of chagrin, but what can
they do? The crafty plagiarist has his prize
and the committee have the paper, and all
that the college folks can do is to confess
that they don't keep up with the classic lit
erature of the time. The next you hear of
that graduate, however, he will be running
an organ somewhere and edifying his read
ers by wondrous wisdOm-copied from
well-say the Presbyterian journal, the In
if a dramatic sermon, possibly
the Atlantic monthly? Take?

zens viii uphold them. Whoever has taken
note of the tone of political discussion in
any and every rank of life sees and hears
one tale-do away with the past; throw old
parties to the limbo of the aforementioned.
and let us have a chance to build anew.
When a religious body comes to recognize
an irreparable breach in doctrinal agree
ment, there is a separation and the forma-
ton of new church. The same thought
should find free vent in politics-the general
principles of the two parties which have
contested the country during the last ten
years are very similar in the main.
There are large segments of each
however which desire a change in the de-
tails, and these two coming together are
destined to control the fortunes of the
country for the next decade. 1t Is idle to
discuss the crimes and failures of parties.
Made up OF men, they necessarily partake
of their weak esses and errors. 1t is the
part of wisdom to recognize this and bundle
the guilty out OF the way without affronting
the eyes Of the new generation with them.
Parties are very properly judged by their
leaders as man is by the books he reads
and the company he keeps. Hence the bet
ter sentiment of the republican party grew
into opposition from 1870 to the Cincinnati
convention. Decent men naturally enough
objected to hold place in a party whose
leaders were known Of men to be corrupt,
characterless, debauched. 1t was the pres
ence in the party of the Camerons, Nor
tons, Pomeroys. and hundreds of
this corrupt and corrupting sort, which
forced Greeley, Summer, Schurz, and the
greater part of the self-respecting, thinking,
educated men out OF it. Operated now by
illiterate vulgarians, who shift. and turn to
catch vanished popularity, the party is the
SCOT of the nation, and its leaders detested
and a5horrcd. The Sun should not, there
fore, be surprised if such democratic leaders
as Fernando Wood, Stephens, Beck, Ran
dali, Morrisey, and their kind, are taken to
represent the party. They have identified
themselves with the republicans in all the
corrupt legislation in congress, and as re-
suit, bring destruction on the party. Every
one of these men can be elected and reelected
to the places, and so long as it is so, it is use
less to cling to a lost cause.

obstacle in the way of such a contamination.
Fancy the world of sweet girlhood turned
into incipient statescraft? The budding six
teen hankering for-say the custom house,
or postofice, or collectorship, or congress,
with all the sweet frailties Of frills and fur
bellows thrown aside and the grim front of
Office seeking and wire pulling presented in
stead! No, Mrs. Stanton may bestow suf-
frsge on the elderly married and utterly old
maided, but for the majority of the sex, in
the name of the future generations, let the
thing be stayed. Admitting by a severe elias
ITCHY of imagination, that man could get
through the world shirtless-for without
buttons it would be about that-what would
the story tellers and poets have to build their
fictitions upon? Women immersed in the
same struggle as man for self and pelf would
lose at once those sentimental attributes
which the youthful swain fondly dreams the
accompaniment of the sex. But
there is no use discussing this matter, the
farther you go the more reasons you find for
denying the place of man to woman-save
that which she gains by her own arts and
articles, and the average woman hardly de-
sires more!

Attorney General Williams has learned
something since that famous day when he
telegraphed the citizens committee of New
Orleans, that sit is useless to COME on; the
president has made up his mind" The
Texas person who hankered to initiate the
course of Kellogg, Davis, repeated his de-
demand for troops, and Mr.. Williams re-
spends in a far different tone. He is willing
to concede the right of self government to
the Texans, and counsels the inventive
Davis to step out OF the governors Office, as
he has had four years OF it. Gov. Davis was
a very good colorel in the union service, and
turned his position to advantage when Pres
ident Johnson appointed him military gov
ernor of the state. This case is significant of
the common belief in the minds of the
republican carpet-baggers, that they can do
as they please, and the federal bayonets will
be put to their assistance. In South Carolina,
Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas
the people have been overridden by robbing
carpet-baggers ald Federal soldiers,
and. these chaps naturally think
the business may be continued. The
Durell stink out has probably warned the
president that he has gone too far in up
holding robbery and lawlessness. The point
to remember, however, is the tone of the at
torney generals messages both for and
he president or what not, assuming by a
stroke of the pen to settle the destinies of a
half million of people.

A paragraph in the Sentinel of Saturday
called attention to the Importance of the
railroad extension completed that day-the
Cairo and Fulton railroad. 1t shortens the
route to Texas and the Pacific, by way of
Cairo, $50 miles. The event has struck the
attention of watchful Indianapolis citizens,
who instantly detect it's advantage to this
CITY. As there is almost an air line route
now in operation from Indianapolis by way
of Vincennes to Cairo, and thence from the
last place to the new connection with Scott's
Texas and Pacific road, glance at the map
shows between hero and the southwest the
route is now direct. The telegram announc-
ing the completed connection on Saturday
volunteered an allusion to the improved
connection with st. Louis. a secondary adj
vantage 10 Indianapolis, for the former city
is away from the route to one side. Those
who have not attended TO the subject may
not appreciate the important fact that an air
line railroad connection exists from this city
through the capital of Arkansas and thence
to Texas and the gulf. What this will de-
velope yet in the way of trade with that i'm
mense, rich and fruitful country has scarcely
yet been imagined. That it will be of vast
importance little study of the situation in
stantly shows. Thus even apparently re-
mote causes are continually adding to those
wonderful resources which are impelling
this city forward with bewildering rapidity.
Take map and look out this new line car
rying you direct from this city through
Cairo and Little Rock to the metropolis of
Texas. 1t is an Unreasonable triumph for
Indianapolis.

All the drippings from Washington, Off
cial guesses and otherwise, show that the
conviction is in all minds that the admins
tration shows an exceedingly unfortunate
record in the late controversy with Spain.
Passing by the undignified complication be-
tween Fish and Sicl,lcs, the general results
of the dispute ere uneQuivocally in favor Of
Spain, and that power may, under the fool
ish rulings and demands made on our side,
force US into war. The pretext is all with
Spain, and it is said the Serrano government
is as good as pledged to war, in order TO
unite the entire sentiment of the Spaniards,
who split up into factions on the policy of
concession adopted by CASTELAR,. 1t is still
asserted in Washington official circles that
in order to extricate this government fron
the unpleasant predicament, Cushing,
whether confirmed or not, will be sent to
Madrid. He alone is sufficiently versed in
the niceties of law and international usage
10 meet the willy and treacherous Spaniards
on an equal footing. The rumor is not with
out strong features of inherent probability.
Cushing, as jurist and minister. would be
more than match for all the cunning OF the
Serrano government, and he might be able
to extricate US from the results of Williams
ignorance and Robeson's pugnacious zeal.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton has been moved
to speak out again, and call her fellow wom-

The wemen's congress is to hold session and

us that woman has genius for govern

'sonal ends should now take a higher aim

Governor Dingley, of Maine, having no
contested election cases or cheap transporta-
ton miseries to talk about, gives the tenn
perance question an airing in bis late mes
sage. He says that the prohilitory law has
accomplished great good; It has not only
diminished liquor selling and liquor drinking
but it has wrought change in public SEN
tirnent. more especially In rural districts.
The large villages and the cities are an ex-
ception to this state of things, but even in
these places prohibition has been enforced
with "more or less thoroUghncss, and with
marked benificial results.

Very naturally the national board of
trade, in session at Baltimore, have given
their principal attention to the question of
finance. Most of the time on Wednesday
was occupied with discussion from various
gentlemen, whose views were about as di
verse as have appeared in other bodies that
have favored the public with individual
theories for the past three months. Yester-
day the same topic was renewed and several
amendments and substitutes were offered
by gentlemen to the report of the committee
on national finance, which was submitted
on Wednesday. Each of the amendments
swas rejected in turn, and the four resolu-
tons reported by the committee were
adopted by large majority, part of them
unanimously. The resolutions as adopted
are the following:
Resolued, l. That the national board of trade
respec fully recommend to congress that there
shall be no further issue OF iTTedeemable paper
2 That in the opinion of this board, it is the
first duty OF the government 10 provide for the
retirement and cancellation of so much OF the
legal-tender issue as has been taken from the So
B. That it is the imperative duty of the gov
eminent to restrict its expenditures in every de-
partment of the public service TO every possible
point, and that strict economy be instituted in
all appropriations.
4. That congress be requested to so amend the
national banking law that the banks shall be
compelled to hold the coin they receive for In
terest OF their bonds hypothecated security for
their circulation. part of their reserve, until
their reserves in coin shall be equalat least to 30
per Int. of theif circulation.
The transportation subject will be cousid-
cred under a report from a commit
tee on that subject, of which Mr.. Gros-
venor, Of st. Louis, is chairman. As the
views OF Colonel Grosvenor are so well
known on the transportation subject, it may
be conjectured what the substance of his re-
port will be. He is for attending to the Mis-
sissippi river first and the interests Of st.
Louis, afterwards to whatever is of most inn
portance. The report, in anticipation OF its
adoption, was ordered printed, and viii IN
doubtedly be an able document, as its author
has already shown himself an exhaustive
writer on the question OF transportation.

en- to the onset in Washington presently.
