STATISTICS SHOW that OF the thousands
who die annually large proportion are
destroyed, not by old age, or by the natu-
raj exhaustion Of vitality, but through in
temperance, or disregard, either on the
part of the sufferer or his parents, Of the
simplest laws of nature. Such being the
case--and figures cannot mtsrepresent Jacts
the conclusion is that, were the causes
of intemperance, its kindred vices, and a
disregard of natural laws removed, the
average length of the human lifetime
would be extended proportionaiely. What
agent most rapidly, harmlessty and GER
tainty will eradicate these vices, or the
tendency to them, is the question which
has been as thoroughly and persistently
agitated as has the search for the Philos-
opher's stone. The discovery has been

THE PATROL MOVEMENT,

The manifestations toward. forming
patrol parties of citizens to act indie
pendently of the police is confined al
most exclusively to the newspapers.
Like many of the reported burglaries,
and attempted tragedies, the police can
not find out much about it. Banding to-
gether and parading the streets with
drums and banners will prove to be a
poor way of ferreting out sneak thieves
and burglaries, or suppressing Bridget or
Pat when they feel like getting drunk
and ''cultivating" each other, or their
neighbors with hoes. Besides, if illegal
aggregations of any kind are permitted to
exist, it will not be long before they prove
to be greater source Of danger and loss
to quiet citizens than the worst of bur-
glars.

ports Of burglaries, garroting, tragedies,

THE ARKANSAS TROUBLES,

When President Grant promptly sent
aid to Governor Kellogg be was rated
soundly by all the opposition papers.
Some thought he had acted too hastily,
Others that he had recognized the wrong
man for Governor. As no one expected
the Democracy to be satisfied with any
regulation that did not concede to them
the sole remaining plank in their plat
form-the spoils of ofic e-their criticism
had little effect.
But case has sprung up in Arkansas.
A quarrel has broken out there Oh account
of some railroad bonds. The particulars
are very meagre, but enough is known to
satisfy US that Governor Baxter was not
very lively about issuing these bonds, and
then those who were anxious to get hold
of them undertook to set up a Governor
who would take better view of the case
As both the contestants are Northern men,
both professed Republicans, the conflict
has rather confused the Democracy. If
there had been displayed a rag Of any
kind by either Baxter or Brooks as a
symbol of leaning toward the "ancient
traditions, the uncertainty would have
been ended. 1t was reported that Brooks
had many Confederate officers holding
commands in his army, but then nearly
all his privates are negroes, How confus-
ing! Are the Confederates turned Repub-
lican or the negroes gone over to the
Democracy?
Again, a proposition for settlement
comes from Washington which is re-
jected by Baxter, who prefers to consider
it purely State question whether he is
Governor of Arkansas, or not, while
Brooks land in this he shows some of the
symptoms Of Louisiana Fusionist) is
ready to accept as gift from the United
States government that which has proba-
bly, been denied him by his own people.
He is willing to wear the crown by the
grace of Congress or the President, and
having everything to gain and nothing to
lose by az bitration, is anxious for it. His
rival relies upon the Legislature, while
Brooks hangs his hopes upon a man
damus Of the Supreme Court composed
of only three Of the judges, which COM
manded the treasurer to pay money on
his official requis.tion. AS the case had
been before the court on its merits, and
dismissed for want of jurisdiction we
ought perhaps to receive the decision on
which Brooks relies with some caution.
Doubtless the Legislature, which was to
have assembled vest erday, will soon set
tie the whole matter. The distractions
placed in the way of members on their
way to the capital by the Brooks party
have e. suspicious look. 1t argues that
that faction do not regard the law making
power friendly to its pretensions.
We hope our own citizens will learn at
last to profit by thes eand our political dis
sensions, and derive from them this les
son, that in government by the people
any success gained by fraud and violence
is short-lived and improbable,
