bered that the Republicans in State conven
ton had decided not to participate in the
election, and that they ran no candidates
for State officers, so that at least twenty
five or thirty thousand Republicans in the
State did not vote. Also, that at the Con-
gressional election three weeks later, held
by the same Democratic precinct election
officers, but with United States supervisors
watching their proceedings, the Demo
cratic vote dropped from 70, 697 to 40, 9S8,
nearly fifty per cent.
Will any honest Congressman, Republi-
can or Democrat vote to sustain such a
barefaced villainy?

JACK sAvnLE, late manager of the National
theatre, won reputation for an extravagaut
regard for the tastes and desires of his patrons
"a regard which, no doubt, cost him large ex-
penditures of money; but the idea of his bring
ing the Fifth Avenue company here for his
benefit tonight is simply cheeky. Ho is SO
well known and so universally liked that he
might have relied upon an OVERLOOKING house
with corps of inferior artists; but with char
acteristic generosity and public spirit he now
presents the most unriValed attractions. He
deserves a full house and will no doubt re-
ceiVe it.

WHERE PHYSICIANS OBTAIN THEIR Pa
TENTS

Complaints are constantly reaching us
relative to the unftness of the jefferson
school building for the purpose for which
it was erected. Several of the schools in
this building were closed on Friday last
and again yesterday because of the rooms
not being properly heated. We think it
about time that the Commissioners of the
District should institute an investigation
with a view TO the preservation of the
health of the pupils; and at the same time
to inquire into the disposition made of old
materials contained in the frame and brick
buildings-the property of the District
torn down to accommodate that huge pile
of brick and mortar known as the "Jefer-
son building"

ARKANSAS.

Keep it before Congressman, that the
Garland government was not sanctioned by
the votes of the people of Arkansas, and it
must not be recognized as legal govern
ment, unless precedent is to be established
in favor of revolutions. The returns pub
lished by the Democratic State Board carry
the evidence Of fraud on their face Look
at the figures. The total population of the
State is 4S4, All. One voter. in six would
give sO,745 voters in the State. One in five
would give 96,S94 votes. This undoubt-
eddy exceeds the actual number in the State
at any time. Twenty per cent of the voting
population ordinarily abstain from voting;
fifteen per cent even in exciting elections,
when all parties do their utmost to get out
every vote. Deducting from 90, 1914 fifteen
per cent of that number Q4,533) gives
SO, 361 as the highest possible number of
votes legally obtainable under the most ia
vorable circumstances. This is about the
vote obtained at the Presidential election in
1872, when all parties exerted themselves
to poll full vote. The Democratic State
Board controlling the special election on
October 10, upon the new constitution and
for State officers, report as follows:
For Constitution 1887
Against Constitution 24,S07
Total 1OS, 5O4

ter of the above report, it should be remem-

UNDER the caption, "a Coming Peril, "
the ST. Louis Democrat remarks that on
"March 4, 1877, Henry Wilson, of Massa-
chusetts, may possibly be called upon, in
accordance with the Constitution, to act
Gas President of the United States. He is
"now Vice President. If no President

"will become the duty of the Vice Presi-

THE Senate appears to have a just ap-
probation of the monopoly of sewing ma
chine patents. AS rule no patent should
be extended in these times. If an inven-
tion possesses merits 1t will attract the
capital necessary for its introduction dur
ing the life of its first letters patent unless
its value is over estimated by the inventor.
The labor of the man who conceives the
idea and reduces it to a working fact is not
half as arduous and risky as that of the
capitalist who manufactures, introduces
and sells the article. Why, then, should
he have a life royalty in his indea?

JUDGE P0LAED's REPORT ON THE Ar

We have just finished reading the report
of Judge Poland and his associates in the
Arkansas case, and, as Senator Thurman
expressed himself, when he heard the Pres
ident's message on yesterday, We are
''astounded." The majority report con-
cedes that under the constitution and laws
of Arkansas a legal election cannot
be held unless registration of
the voters precedes the election.
The committee say, in speaking of this
question, the mode pursued sis plainly an
"evaslon of tile requirement of registration

speaking of the act calling a constitutional

Our Emotional Evangelist

Mahstick, the New York cofrespon-
dent of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
writes as follows:
Moody and SankeY have got steam up
20 l60 pounds to the square inch. They
preach and sing to three thousand peo-
pie at the Tabernacle in Brooklyn. As
far as the congregation is concernedy It
is with many Of them a scene of religious
intoxication. Their brains are as much
excited as they would be if drinking at
the expense of a candidate on the eve Of
popular election. Mr.. Sankey who is
spoken Of as fine singer and who rem
ders his style of emotional hymns in an
intensely effective manner, is a retired
negro minstrel hence his power in a
musical way. The minstrels are in the
habit of selling little books containing
their popular ballads. Sankey does the
same thing. His pious vocal efforts are
printed and sold in little books at FIVE
cents a piece. The firm probably dis
POSES of two thousand day, and, in the
language of the late John Bates, " it pays
sir, it pays" On Sunday no books are
sold. An outside heather, taking ad-
vantage Of this spasm of conscience on
the part Of the preachers, got mp q cor
ner in the hymn-books, opened a stand
under the very droPpings Of the sanetua-
~, and sold the books for twenty-five
cents apiece. This created a great up-
rear The customers growled and re-
nonstrated, but to no purpose. The
holder insisted upon his "pinch and
got bis price. Whether this utterly bar
dened sinner has been excommuaicated
yet or not have not heard, but doubt II
he gets any special prayers oot Of the
firm, az least in his favor.

He was roustabout, and as be sat on

he had erected on their craniums in or
der that they might more easily remem-
Der him. And comparing those flush,
times with his present detected and fallen

reverie, ann muttered, "The couhtry's
