think it scarcely less than criminal to for
get and forgive the past. In response to-
recent letter from Judge Mackay OF South

bodies Of two Federal soldiers from Co

The saloon keepers of Cleveland and
elsewhere, after taking legal advice, have
discontinued the sale ofthe stronger drinks
entirely until after the State laws are
changed. It would be well for the saloon
keepers in Newark to follow their exam
pie. At least it will be wise for ther1 To
continue In their self-imposed resolution
to sell within the provisions of the law, at
wholesale.-Nel0Grk Advocate.
This advisory suggestion will apply
equally well to other towns. We learn
that quite a number of our saloon men in
Canton are obeying the law, and sell only
ale, beer and wine,-to be drank on the
premises. This is certainly c~ommendabls.
In fact, there is no safe rule but "to sell
within the provisions of the law"

Gov. JOHN A DIX thus concludes his
protest against imitation to the New York
Legislature:
Five years ago the sense of reetitude
would have revolted at the suggestion of
such an act of peridy; but a persistence in
wrong and injustice rarely fails to recon
cile further wrong to the thought first and
to the purpose atterward. IT. spurning
away all the teachings Of history and
trampling under foot all the maxims of
political Justice, we adopt a policy as fraud
ulent as 1t is demoralizlng. our successors
will look back on our conduct with hunil-
iation and shame. The millions of depre-
ciated and irredeemable paper, if issued as
proposed, will, by a law Of distribution
which no human power can control, be
poured into the city of New York to up
hold and stimulate stock gambling; to glut
the channels of industry, embarrass all
honest transactions of business, to cause
reactions In the various departments of
labor by which the working classes are
thrown out of employment, and to shake
to its foundations the fabric of the public
credit.
against the introduction of such an in
strument Of dishonor and cal1mny we
should enter our solemn protest, as we
would against any other food Of contami-
nation. 1 speak with . clear understand
ing of the force of my words. 1 believe
and trust you will concur with me in the
opinion that the emergency demands the
~plainest and most emphatic language. 1
therefore recommend such an expression
on your part as may comport with the
dignity of the legislature and as you may
deem due to the interests Of your constIt-
uents. 1 am not without hope that q
timely declaration Of your viewsto be pre-
seoted to Congress through the senators
and representatives from this State may
arrest the torrent of disgrace and disaster
with the country is threatened from thi
source. If your protests andwarnings are
unheeded you will awe the consolation of
rejecting when the evil comes upon rs
that nc effort on your part has been spared
to avert il. JOHN A. DIX"

The N. Y. Evening Post, speaking for
the decent Republicans of Connecticut,
thus i~nterprets the meaning of the glOri-
Gus Democratic victory:
We are opposed to the prostitution Of
the civil service to personal greed; we are
opposed to contracts by which the national
revenue is shared between the nation and
political SPECTATORS; we are opposed to the
oppression of commerce for the enrichment
of political faVorites. As between the re-
form Of these abuses and the ascendencY
of the praty, you are for the party and we
are for reform. We will take our chance
of success with a new man. So the Re-
publican party goes down with its Senator,
and for the first time since the war Con-
n~ecticat will put a man into the Senate
who calls himself a Democrat. This may
mean also that Connecticut will soon dis
miss one or two of the administration
members of the lower House.

One of the good effects of the temper
ance movement has been to brings whele-
some public sentiment to bear against the
American custom Of treating. Undoubt-
eddy it has more to do in creating drunk
ennes than all the sources combined. The
Germans of this and other cities have adop-
ted resolutions strongly denunciatory Of
the custom, and are being ably supported
therein by the press generally, while in
many towns aud cities anti treating asso-
citations have been formed. Efforts such
as this, we can endorse most heartily

gers of her own, and 81 cabin and 1872
steerage passengers of the steamer Europe
from Havre found in a sinking condition
April 2. latitude 48, longitude 80. The
sea was very rough but the passengers and
crew of the Europe were all safely trans
ferred. The next morning some of the
crew of the Greece took possession of the
Europe as salvage. and thought they could
bring her into port with sails.

AN article from the Mt. Vernon Banner
will be found in this paper upon 'stagna-
ton of business" The Bonner attributes
the ~stagnation in Mt. Vernon to the "cru-
sade"-run to the extent it has. There is
no doubt things run pretty high in that
town-even to bitter hostility: There is
good sense and propriety in all things
golden mean IN human conduct. The
Banner must remember. however, that
this is not a spring for any remarkable re-
vival of business anywhere.

taken up to the District Court. and will
no doubt go TO the Supreme Court for

The Cleveland Herald thus aeknowl
edges the overwhelming defeat of the Re
publican party in that city:
"We have been worsted, whipped, most
outrageously whaied. There is no use de-
nying it. Figures won't lie. They speak
for themselves, and their voice in the table
of election returns is so soul-harrowing
that we would fain stop our ears, turn over
and go to sleep for awhile. The comparison
between the Republican situation as it was
and the Republican situation as it is, made
in the parallel columns of former MAORI
ties and present minorities, is enough to
turn the strongest stomach"

The elections in every part of The coun-
try show that the bottom has fallen ous Ct
the Republican party. The rapid decline
of that organization has been one of the
most rapid and remarkable in our political
history. Its numerous defeats clearly
demonstrate that it is not owing to local
considerations or local questions, but that
some general aus is in operation. The
corruption and profigacy ofthe Grant ad-
ministratiOn, combined with the knowl-
edge that it is no longer united upon any
political issue, have done the business.
