Sensation Drama.

The Brooklyn Sun proposes the
fol owing points for sensation ORA
ma:
The heroine has a misunderstand-
ing with the hero, they part in an
ger, he goes to Baden, and she goes
TO the bad. (Fhis gives an opportu-
nifty for plenty of prurient pa,ho-
and will make the ladies' weep buck
of tears) In the first scene OF
the last act the heroine goes out rid
ing, and is thrown from her horse
ard breaks her leg. (Realistic runa-
way scene, the horse knocking down
stuffed apple women, and practicable
lamp posts, aod the comic policeman
turning on the fire alarm ohe re-
Eases to have it amputated, and gan
creme sets in. Last scene: The
stage set as medical college operat-
ing-room students throwing pea
nuts at the porte and giving
catcalls. The heroine is chl0roform-
ed, and laid on the operating table.
CFhis brings in the leg business,
which can be made good deal ot.)

to the realistic effect to have the
eminent surgeons of the city appear

no human being has felt the loss, while
some very needy and hard working
public servants have been made more
comfortable by it. II is very well for
| the people to correct such mistakes, as
they have corrected this. But / hard
ly think it becomes great people to
be very vindictive upon such mistakes.
If the people never mean to forgive a
mistake in a public servant, then they
cannot consent to Mr.. Carpenters re
election. Nor can they consent to the
election of Gov. Washburn He made
the same mistake, as is well known, ia
1856.
Public Justice has sometimes been
subjected to the reproach of imposing
penalties for an offense committed by
one and excusing the same offense
committed by another. But public
justice was never so blind as, having
two men at its bar at the same time
and equally delinquent, to cruelty
| one and crown the other.
But while this vote is remembered
against Mr.. Carpenter, some things
should be remembered to his praise
When he was elected to the Senate
six years ago, many thought the party
assumed grave risk, on the score OF
his fidelity. But for six years he has
been faithful even when others, more
trusted, have been faithless. He has
kept all the instructions the party has
given him. When he has erred, he
has erred for want of instruction -
Moreover, during his first term he has
achieved the first honors of the Senate,
and he has done as much to distinguish
Wisconsin and to distinguish the West
as any one whom the West ever sent
to Washington. And while / do not
mean to disparage the efforts of others,
| think 10 one man has done so much
as he in the late canvass to rescue the
Republican party in Wisconsin from
the defeat which surprised it one year
ago. We ought to be just if we can
not be generous.
know very we'll if Gov. Wash.
burn is not elected, many excellent
Republicans will feel that he is denied
the reward his eminent services merit.
That, fear, will cripple the party
some. On the contrary, if Mr.. Car
penter is not elected, many Republ-
cans just as excellent will feel that he
has been visited with a censure from
which his eminent services should
have protected him. That, | fear, will
cripple the party more. Of two perlls
l always prefer to confront the least.
Very truly yours,

The Defeat Of the subscription Yes
tcFdaY.

Three elections have now occurred on
three separate propositions to vote money
to the P. W. & Ky. railroad. Tho first
took place on the Cd Of January, 1872,
and resulted in the Original subscription
Of $225 200, by vote lin the city alone)
ot2,4 In favor oft 10 l55 against. The
second vote occurred on the 10Th Of Aus
gust 1873, Stwhich time $4,000 more
was subscribed, by q vote Of 1, ,114to to 80
against the subscription. Yesterday the
third vote came of, on a proposition to
vote 100000 more, and the proposition,
judging from the city vote, Ia oyerWhelm.
ingly defeated, the result being ss6 votes
infayor 10 1900 against the subscription.
The returns from the country districts
will increase this majority against 1t to
such an extent that instead Of q three.
tiIths vote in favor ofsubscription, as re.
quired by law, there will likely be two!
thirds against II. -, -. ~.
Thus ends the campaign on the issue Of
100000 more to the P. W. & KY. Rail-
road. The result Is no doubt a great sur.
prise to the friends Of subscription, who
seemed confident Of success and made a
vigorous missionary effort to influence
public opinion in favor Of one more rally
to the rescue Of the road. But the public
had grown weary Of subscribing money
and getting no road, and they finally con.
cluded to give away the Investment al,
ready made to any person willing to car
ry forward the enterprise to successful
completion, rather than risk an other large
Investment with the chance OF final fail.

1t has been said that there are parties

cessfully organized and managed by those
who have an individual interest in 1t than
by the representatives Of body polite,
who too often use their positions to sub.
serve their private ends at the public ex-

way 10 run a railroad is torun 1t on busi-
ness principles as .heproperty o! private
corporation or company, and not as a po.
lilical or municipal machine, the direc-
tors Of which are voted into or out of
office without reference to their merits.
Ohio county has now $4,000 invested
in this road, and Brooke county $4,000,
making S955,OOO in all. The road iR
graded and bridged and practically ready
for the supestructure. It has becrf
shown that less than $500, 900 will fit it
for the cars, and that it will pay fair re-
turn at least on that amount Of capital.
This being SO, is there any good reason

THE Ten COMMANDMENTS Rev,
DIR. X. w. Dale, an English preacher ol
some note, has recently printed Il Serie.
of discOurses on the ten command
ments, which have excited considera
BILE attention from the London press.
DiscourseS ON the commandments very
commonly are full of strained applica
ton, while the preacher attempts 10
make his texts appropriate to modern
circumstances, but there Is nothing OF
the kind here.
''THoU SHALT NOT STEAL"
Here is an application for the eighth
commandment:
eff workman, who is paid TO work
ten hours, takes advantage of the alb
sence of the master, or foreman. To
smoke a pipe and read a newspaper for
one hour out of ten, he steals One-tenth
of his days wages. He does the very
thing that a shop keeper would do who
gave him fourteen ounces of butter or
sugar instead of pound, or nine yards
of calico when the bill charged ten. An
assistant in a shop who, instead of car
ing for his masters interests as if they
were his own, puts no heart into his
work, exercises no ingenuity, treats Gus
toners carelessly instead of courteous
ly, and so diminishes the chances of
their coming again, gets his salary OH
false pretences, does not give the kind
of service which he knows his employ
er expects, and which he would expect
if he were an employer himself. He
cannot but know that his services are
worth but half what they would be if
he did his best. Instead of earning the
$40 year for which he is engaged, lie
does not earn more than Els or t20, and
he practically steals the rest"
