We confess that we are now, and
have been for long time, more
anxious to discover and disclose the
sound spots in the conduct of public
affairs and in the body polite, than
to discover and disclose the sore and
and plague spots. We have tried to
maintain proper independence to
speak as unreservedly when need
was, of i'll in our own party. To
deal as independently and honestly
with the officials Of our own party
as though of the opposition: and to
be as temperate and just toward the
latter rs towards the former. A
good many of our contemporaries are
filled with constant longing Jeremi-
ads over the condition of the country.
They cry SO constantly that the
whole head is sick that from the
sole of the foot even to head there
is no soundness in anything, that
they make the heart faint. And at
the same time they profess that the
people are sound and right. That
both parties ald all parties are cor
rupt, but that the people are all
pure. That every official is a knave,
but that the voters are paragons of
political virtue. And so all this pre-
tended newspaper independence :
this pretended editorial cleansing of
the temple Of its thieves and money
changers, is sham and a more or less
aggravated form of demagoguery.
For the decentralization that exists in
politics, exists In all kinds of bust
ness and all ranks of people as well.
The recklessness, the easily tempted
integrity, the desire for speculation,
the lust for wealth, the questionable
expedients, the lack of sturdy Wig
erous honesty, that begets dishon-
esty, defalcations and corruptions in
official quarters are diffused every
where through American society.
If they faint public administration
it is because they faint private affairs
and the character of all our society
as well. Yet American demoraliza-
ton is SO much less than has come to
other nations under like circum-
stances, and the signs Of growing
health and soundnes multiply so
constantly on every side, that we
have no disposition to croak. Hope
fulness is rs wise in sick nation as
a sick bed .--Gate city.

fence taught by solder countries"
Genera Logan showed that we have
a third Tess currency per capita than
England, which, 10 turn, has a
smaller per capita of currency than
either Germany or France. While
this fact stands undisputed, remon-
strances against imitation of curren-
cyl are inspired either by the dens-
est ignorance, or by interested, and,
therefore, selfish motives. The
West will not consent to be ruined
by either ignorance or greed. 1t is a
palpable fact that the collapse Of last
September was caused solely by a
currency famine. To court further
disaster by adhering to a contraction
policy is not merely to treat with
contempt "the experience of older
countries" but is to disregard the
terrible lessons of our own recent ex-
perience. Inter Ocean.

Considering the fact that the Wash.
ington Bureau Of Statistics values
the immigrants who flock hither
from all parts Of the world at an av-
erage OF something like $500 per
head, no one will probably grumble
because Congress authorized not long
since, the printing of an addition OF
10000 copies of pamphlet, intended
for gratuitous circulation throughout
Great Britain and Ireland, setting
forth the advantages which this
country offers to intending settlers.
Five thousand copies of this interest.
ing little book have been duly dis
tributed, and to its influence the
Chief Of the Bureau attaches, in no
small measure, the fact that during
last year 81, IA male immigrants ar
rived in the United States from Eng
land, Scotland, and Wales. The
pamphlet has also been translated in
TO German ana French, and 10 cur
rent among the nations speaking
those languages; besides, there is a
proposition before Congress to sane
ton the printing of a Swedish edi-
ton OF $4,000 copies to be distributed
in the Scandinavian countries. None
will deny that the government is
amply repaid for making these costly
and systematic efforts to direct the
human tide to our shores. The
money value Of this species Of i'm
port is, according to the official esti-
mate, upwards of $35, 100000. What
il will be when the pamphlet has
been translated in Swedish and other
tongues, we cannot trust ourselves to
forecast. But the story Of "this little
book" teaches An impressive lesson

Was this selection of prominent

Are the Councils throughout the

Are the members of the subordi-

Last night, between the hours Of
eight and nine o'clock, the jewellers
in the neighborhood of Sixth and
Broadway were startled by the cry of
murder! murder!f' We rushed out
on the street, and found the cry to
proceed from a woman that was run
hing up Broadway in close pursuit of
her husband who had snatched her
baby from her arms as she was walk
ing along. She OF course thought
her baby was a goner. The crowdq
quickley gather and he was
brought to standstill at the corner
Of S xt and Broadway, where he was
quickley made to restore the baby to
its mother. He seemed very anxious
to explain, which he did by taking to
his heels at the first opportunity. His
name is, Shockey, and it was a shock
ey to his wife's nerves to have her

A private letter from gentleman
in Texas, ohis brother il this city,
tells the story-How o colored
man was saved from being hung in
San Antonio, in that State:
About II month since q colored
man killed white man, in fracas,
in this place. The colored man
was very much alarmed, knowing
that should he be caught, he would
bc hung to the nearest tree con
venlent. for the purpose, there be
ing no hope for a fair trial in this
section. A friend of his, hearing
Of his situation, went to see him. in
his hiding place, and promised for
a consideration, OF money of
course to give him a powder,
which he should take when he was
captured, that would prevent his
being hung or shot. The poor
man, believing it to be a charm,
readily paid the sum demanded,
ana received the powder, which he
was to swallow when there was no
other hope.
The next day the man was dis
covered in his hiding place by a
crowd of white men, who were
determined to carry out the decis
ion of Judge Lynch, and were
about to hang him to a tree which
they had already selected. The
prisoner, with great reluctance. yet
having faith in the power of his
powder, was taken to the tree. and
when all the arrangements were
made, he took the powder FROM his
pocket and swallowed its contents.
The effect was quickly seen, as he
fell dead immediately. Cincinnati

just after four o'clock this morning
we were awakened by John Il. Popp
running past our door, down to Engine
House No. 3, shouting FIRE! fiire!!"
at the top of his voice. We looked
out and saw the tops of the houses in
our neighborhood lighted up in a
brilliant manner, telling too plainly
that a fire was raging in the vicinity.
On going to the place we found that
the sheds, wood, etc. around and near
to the engine 10 J. w. Moore wood
and coal yard were all on fire. The
No. 3, however, soon arrived and put
a stop to it before the flames had
time to spread to adjacent property.
