The Caucus and its MORALITY.

We learn from Washington that the
caucus rules are to be put in force in the
Senate to extort from that body a distinct
resolution in favor of the Kellogg usurpa-
ton. Since congress assembled, the panic
struck followers of the administration have
not taken one step toward the publication
and reestablishment of their party, Far
FROM realizing that they were beaten be-
cause the people are disguised at their
selfish and corrupt schemes, their narrow
partisanship, their injustice toward the
South, their protection of thieves and
swindlers, and their trihing with the fnan-
ces, they seem to labor under the delusion
that they only need to unite the organi-
zation" little closer-meanine by organi-
zation the men inside politics who appro-
pirate the offices and divide the spoils. If
they read the signs of the times they
would know that they are repudiated by
the people because they have allowed this
organization to become too compact it is
no longer o party 1t is merely Ring. If
they had ordinary political sagacity they
would see that they have been defeated
chiefly on account of precisely such disin-
genuous and mischievous currency bills as
the one they have just forced through the
senate, and precisely such sacrifices Of jus.

years ago one of its committees. on motion
of Gov Morton, was instructed to inquire
whether there was any legal state govern
ment in Louisiana. Mr.. Carpenter, in tie
name of that committee, made the famous
report which fully exposed for the. frst
time the true character of the Louisiana
crime. and submitted bill declaring the
election of 1879 null and void turning
out Kellogg and all his crew, and ordering
a new election under the auspices OF the

WARS and emigration are working a
frightful disprdportlon in the number of
the two sexes in Germany. In 1856 the
excess of females over males, in what
now constitutes the German Empire,
was 34S, 1888. During the nine years of
peace that ensued down to 1854, this dis
proportion diminished, SO that the excess
of females was then 3l33S3. After the
Austrian and Schleswig- -Holstein wars,
1864 to 1856, the disproportion had in
creased to All, ,sS5 excess OF females. In
1872 the surplus of females mum.
bered 755,S75, as the effects of the war
with France. Even il wars were no
more and emigration could be checked,
it would require whole generation to
restore the equilibrium of numbers be.

THERE never was Viler ring of
scoundrels unearthed than that st. Louis
whisky ring is shown to be. There is
not one of them below the rank of Col
onel, nominally, and not one of them
above the rank of thief, really. Com
mon Villains are generally disposed to
regret their villainy, especially when
detected. But these St. Louis villains
glorify themselves In their stealings
from the revenue; and from be-
hind the bars OF prison
they buster and bloyiate as though they
were martyrs to some high-handed per-
secution, and still wore about them
their osteutatious mantles of respecta-
bility. 1t is time for them to learn that
they are no more than convicted felons,
and that the community so regards them,
Notwithstanding their boasted intimacy
with men in high places. Whether they
will connect Babcock with this infamous
ring remains yet to be demonstrated.

uuire him to demand an investigation at
least; and if he is found to be one Of the

Wolf Captured By a Horse.

"A Canada paper gives the following
account Of the strange capture of wolf
by horse, that would serve as aicom-
panion picture to cur "donkey killing
the lion." The Canadian says:
Mr.. John Davis, farmer in Sullivan
township, County Grey, owns horse
which has habit Of getting out OF its
pasture field. The other night the farm
er, as an experiment, tired the horses
fore feet together, and left him, hoping
that his scheme would cure the horse, or
at least prevent him indulgihg in his
bad habits.
That night pack of wolves visited
the neighborho0d, their howls being
plainly heard by the occupants OF Mr..
Davis house. In the morning, however,
they had disappeared, Hnd tine farmer
having business some distance away,
left to transact it. His children, going
to school, had occasion to pass by the
pasture field In which was the 'breachy
horse, and remembering the visit of the
wolves during the night, they weht in TO
look after the horses safety. There
was the animal, right enough, aPpar-
emily, but standing in a singular posi-
ton away off in the field. Tire children
approached nearer, and the horses APP
pearance seemed more strange. b last
they boldly came up close, and discov-
cred the cause OF the animals strange
condition. A large gray wolf was under
his fore feet, pinned down to the ground,
so to speak, by the chain lettering the
horses limbs, and secured in such a
way that escape was impossible.
The plueky horse had evidently been
attacked by the savage bfutes. and after
gallant light he had not only routed

THE REFLECTIVE SYSTEM.

We never had much faith in our much
yaunted detective system. Men who
become professional detectives must
necessarily become so familiar with
rogues and roguery, crime and criminals,
as to sap the foundations Of the moral
sense in themselves TO such a degree as
90 assi1nilate themselves to the condi-
tion oftthe villains whom TREY profess to
detect. That homely proverb that
teaches men that it takes a rogue to
catch a rogue, would never have been
accepted as truism without a substan-
tial foundation in fact. And the idea
that the community is compelled to rely
upon rogues for protection against
roguery, is not particularly comforting
10 the public nor complimentary to the
police whose speciality lies in that
line.
We do not doubt but that among the
detective police may be 1ound many up
right and conscientious men. Ii SO,
they are the saline exceptions that are
TO save the whole system from rotten
ness and corruption. And fortunate
will such men be ifthey can themselves
escape the contamination that necessa-
rily surrounds them. Such men are
Jewels in the swine's ..snout, all the
more brilliant from the revolving SET
tinge.
We are led to these remarks from a
perusal OF the recent Developments
made in New York in regard to the Ut.
ter ineffieiency of the detective police
in that city. These developments are
made public from the minutes OF the
"Robbery Book" SO called, kept at the
Police headquarters. In this volume,
which has grown to ponderous proper.
tions, are entered, in a methodical
manner, all robberies committed, the
times the place, the nature OF the prop
erty taken, &C., &c. And from this it
appears that, since 1870, robberies have
been reported amounting to 81, $50, $50.
The same record shows how much OF
this amount has been recovered, how
many arrests made and convictions fol-
lowed. The arrests amount to just
eleven, and the amount recovered was
but $24,5O0, but little over two per cent.
From such a showing it is no wonder
that the public have lost all confidence
in the Detective system. The amount
paid for their services and expenses has
vastly exceeded the amount recovered
Consequently the whole thing Is a los
ing business. How much the thieves
and robbers have paid to The detectives
as their share of the ''swag," the "Rob
berry Booko does not state. But New
Workers believe that the Detective sys
tenn and the system Of robbery are but
parts OF one stupendous whole, whose
body the .robber is and the police thu
soul.
