MODERN DHNoCRAcY-

The time was when the word .sDe-
mocrscy" meant something; when to say
man OF party was Democratic signi-
fed that he was in favor of 'shard money"
t'free trade" and State rights" against all
eomers. Paper money, or bank rags
as il was tie delight Of Democratic
journals and politicians to term the paper
currency OF other days was an sbomina-
ton in the eyes Of the jackson and Van
Buren Democrats. The name Of the
party would seem TO imply deep and un-
swerving devotion on the part Of its lead
ers and sdherents to the rights and priyil-
eees of the masses. But in olden times
the Democracy of this country was ever
the enemy oS the oppressed and down
frodden Esve, and the advocate OF free
tr.de to the extent Of the paralysis Of
American industry. Such were the chief

IT is q fayorite method of revenue
thieves, whether they be illicit distillers,
compounders or rectifes Of spirits, or
smugglers of silks, laces, jewels or other
merchandise, to deny their guilt as long
as possible, and endeavor to throw the Off
GERS off the scent or divert their attention
in other directions, but when at last their
operations are exposed and the whole plan
of their inIquitous proceedings is laid bare
to the public, they change their tactics and
express desire to negotiate. They wish
TO compromise, If possible; not because
they are guilty, but because their CONNER.
cial credit will suffer from the unexpected
interruption to their business. The official
members Of the ring are always the most
active in directing negotiations. They
strongly favor compromise. In fact, they
do not believe in being too hard on the
owners, who, perhaps, were not fully
aware of the lengths to which their sub
ordinates were going in their names. But
finally when it transpires that the whole
party, officials and unoficials, are criminaliy
indicted for Infringement of the law and
feloniously keeping back part of the price
of the Government taxes, then these de-
linquent officials begin TO get frightened,
and want to change tactics again. They
want to be made States witnesses. They
are willing to swear any and everybody
else into the penitentiary in order to
save themselves. We can now recall
few instances, both in New York
and Virginia, where innocent detectives
were indicted and sworn into prison by the
very parties who should have gone there
themselves, but who made interest with
the prosecuting officers to be allowed 10
escspe through the States evidence gate.
We trust there viii be no such hugger-
mugger permitted in the revenue cases now
under investigation and about to be tried
in several Western cities. The evidence Of

Jay Gouid's purchase and dominance Of the

and the dire punishment of public opinion be-
cause they were and are undsrhandsd. While
pretending 70 be loffy and high-toned, the
paper is really entirely destitute Of principle
and disgrace to journalism, Jay Gould's
only idea is TO use the newspaper press 10

this-he gets his pay in the aid the Tribtkns
gives him ip his stock jobbery. - !,

men and genflemanliness. No gentleman

FOLLOWING CLOSE ia the wake of the
appalling Rockaway railroad disaster
came the sad intelligence respecting the
fated steam tug at Hampton Roads. 1t
was an excursion party. Seventeen per-
SONS made up the list. They confidently
throw themselves upon the care and pro-
lection of the captain in command. While
enjoying with increasing delight and salts
faction the short respite from crowded
streets and the busy hum Of city life, two
of their number are suddenly hurled into
eternity. There was no fog; the night
was not dark; the warning lights in the
Lumberman were burning. But in the
face Of all this the steamer Bell runs her
through and through, leaving her thing
of death and ruin. II ever In the annals
of accidents there has been cause for in
vestigation this is one of the most import
ant nature, and it is great satisfaction to
the travelling public TO know that this
affair is to be thoroughly investigated

SoME men are born to commit heroic
deeds; and after mature reflection it might
with consistency be added, others are Gre
ated simply to emulate cowardice. a
number of these latter specimens came
conspicuously TO the front ON the bank or
Harlem river last Sunday afternoon. They
belong to the celebrated Athletic club, OF
New York, the aim of which is to advance
men in physical powers. They are what
the world calls expert swimmers Men
who are versed in all the principles OF the
art; men who boast Of strong llmbs, brave
hearts, enduring muscle; and yet with all
these accomplishments, they sat last Sun
day afternoon on the bank of Harlem river
and watched one of their comrades drown
without lending helping hand TO save.
Almost within reach of his friendsi almost
able himselfto grasp the hand that was po-
tent to rescue; violently struggling with
the waves and calling vainly for the help
which might have been given, young Han
nekamp went down to watery grave,
while a score of the famous swimmers
stood panic-stricken upon the bank, with
out making the first attempt TO assist the
diving man. What manliness What
bravery What exemplary pluck Taken
in bulk, the heroism displayed upon this
sad occasion Is go diminutive that micro
scropic assistance is necessary to render 9
respectable view.
