Gov. Allen has changed his mind once
more. The Cincinnati Enquirer now an
nounces that he "has consented to attend

but it does not say whether he will speak or
not. 1t is also silent about Senator Thur

are of the opinion that Mr.. Thurman. in
losing time for defining his position and pro-
testing against the thoroughly bad doctrines
OF the men who had majority in the Dem
ocratic conventions, had lost brilliant op-
portunity of doing great and memorable
service to his country, his state and his party,
and establishing himself as a leader who
would eventually have commanded the ap-
proval and support of all the better elements
Of the nation. But he has not indorsed the
heresies of the infationists, and we believe
that he will never degrade and stultify him
self by doing so.'
Those who speak for the "Liberar' seces-
sion of 1872 are naturally fond of represent
Ing it as simple movement for purity in pol.
itics. But, in fact, while there was a certain
element of honest indignation with the Re-
publican management, there was an immense
element Of the ''sorehead,' pure and sim
pie, perfectly well known to all who knew
something OF the interior history of many
OF the leaders in every state; and it was this
element which captured the Cincinnati Con-
vention and the whole movement. 1t is use
less to "cant" about it. The most ludcrous
and stupendous joke in our political history
was the invitation to regard the support of
Horace Greeley by the Northern Democracy
with few honest and very many dishonest
Republicans at their backs, as great move
ment tor the moral regeneration of Ameri-
can politics.

GALVESTON has been agitated over col
ossal theft. Two men, Brown and Best by
name, are accused OF stealing whale. His
whaleship got stranded off the harbor, and
was making desperate efforts to get away
when an excursion party found him. Three
OF the party remained to keep guard, while
the others returned to the city for har-
poons. Meanwhile the busy BIS happened
along in sloop, attached a rope to con-
venient harpoon in the whales back, and
towed him away, regardless of the protesta-
tions of the "three guardsmen." The mag
nitude of the theft certainly ought to place it
in the rank of those crimes against
property which are suffered to 60 unpunished
because of the greatness of the booty.

A pRoFEssoR at Tafavatte Co,,aoo Do

A PROFESSOR at Lafayette College, Penn
sylvania, has discovered that Hamlet is an
immature play, the product of Shakespeare s
boyhood, and that the poet outgrew the play
before he died. The professors chief ground
for this opinion is that the sagacious Polo
MUS is represented as a superannuated bore,
such as sagacious old men appear to COD.
ceited youth. Hamlet himself is lively
youth with no depth of experience, who talks
just for the fun of talking. The ghost too is
immature. being the 'siuple supernatural
ghost' of child stories, and not sage spirit,
given to philosophzing, such as we have a
right to expect from the shadowy land.

DIR. HALL is certainly sensible physician.
He says children ought not to jump out Of
bed the instant they wake. All their in
stincts shrink from it. They should, up to
the age of eighteen years, wake leisurely,
and rest IN bed until they feel as if they
would rather get up than not. But why
does he limit the happy time to eighteen
years? What is the use of being man il
one is to lose this sweetest of privileges
Don't mans instincts shrink from getting
up early, and doesn't he want to yawn, and
stretch, and kick the bed-clothes for half an
hour just as much as boy does?

WHEN the national representatives of the
Sons Of Temperance vote, two to one, not to
receive colored men and women into the
Order, and then in an adnress declare that
their "held is the world" they must depend
upon a great amount of poetic license to
make their practice and professions har-
monize. BY ranging itself on the side of
caste and vulgar prejudice, the Order has not
gained the respect of intelligent people, That
sort OF thing answered twelve years since,
but things have changed, aud the first to
learn that fact should be those organizations
whose object is to elevate mankind.

That statesman, who has always been a Re-
publican, cannot stomach the hard money
policy of the party, and favors the election
of Allen in Ohio because of the Democratic
rag-money platform. Judge Kelley would
never support Democrat unless he believed
the Democrats to be thorough-going infa-
tionists, and would never step out of the
Republican ranks for a moment if he be-

The argus of yesterday copies from the
Cincinnati Commercial sensational item as
to the manner in which Speaker Blaine
gave the casting vote on the Goat Island bill
in which the Central Pacific Railroad was
Interested. As there never was tie vote on
the question and as Speaker Blaine never
gave casting vote on it or any other kind of
vote, the story slightly lacks the element of
truth. But this small deficiency of that essen
tial quality does not bother the argus. Since
that paper has taken to circulating DR..
Jordan's lies, small tbs come very easy. In
deed at this season of the year our neighbrJr
turns eagerly to pure fiction.

LosT.--A FASHIONABLE WoMAN's BABY
A New York correspondendent of a Western
payer tells this story: One year ago to fash
ionable mother was born baby boy. She got
wet nurse, who remained with her six
months, and then, as the child liked the bottle
best, was discharged. When the baby was
born the grandmother was there from her dis
tant Western home, and shortly after returned
to come no more till this summer. In the
meantime the young mother has seen her
child sometimes once day, sometimes once a
week, as the case might be. The first thing on
grandma's arrival was a loud call for TOMMY.
and Tommy was forthcoming. He was kissed
and hugged and praised and petted, and
grandma just lugged him about till finally, old
lady like, she stripped him to see how much
he had grown. Then came shriek 'sWhere
was Tommy's extra toe?' Tommy was born
with six toes; grandma knew it. The family
doctor was sent for, and when an examination
OF Tommy was made the NJ. d. unhesitatingly
pronounced it not the simon pure Tommy by
sny means There had been malformation
OF the original Toms feet that time would not
have reme1ied. Then all sorts of speculatons
were IN order But one servant had anything
to do with the baby, and she bad been six
months away, no one knows in what direction.
