The Democratic SIeuth.HOund.

The Democracy is just now a keen
scented hound on the track of Republican
corruption. Its sense of smell is almost
painfully keen. 1t can strike an old trail,
and by force of imagination make it red
hot. 1t will be observed that this power
stimulates the pursuit and keeps the
hound lively, even if it does not result in
securing large game. 1t seems almost a
pity that so little should come of such pro-
digious effort, but human hopes are not
the most reliable. Enough corruption was
unearthed, or announced as being almost
unearthed, Just before the New Hampshire
election, to sink nation; but New Hamp-
shire was as unmoved as a mill pond at
summer twilight. In word, the thing
failed in New Hampshire The hound
ran we'll, kept his nose to the ground as
though on a hot trial, and bayed unmerci-
fully, but he caught no game so far as
heard from. Connecticut was piled with
the same arts and industry, and with sim
liar results. The dog seems a well-en-
dowed beast, but he brings home few
foxes, and what he does bring are small.
This avidity with which the Democratic
press seizes upon every possible chance to
make charge of fraud and corruption
against the rival party is not at all cause
for amazement. 1t does seem a little
strange, however, that all the OutcTy is
met with such utter indifference so far as
voters are concerned The argument is
pressed with the utmost vehemence; the
charge is draped with every variety Of en-
bellishment 70 make it impressive; it is
reiterated with every show of persistent
and profound conviction; and it seems
little strange that it should fall so utterly
fiat and powerless. The reason evidently
is that the whole outcTy is insincere. 1t
is mere political trick, and kills itself
by its transparent hypocrisy, If the
Democrats are sincere in all their uu-
earthly din and clamor about reform
and the elevation of good men to
places of power, why did they not vote for
MIR. Dana as Minister to Englands A
large number of Republicans did vote for
his confirmation, and if the Democrats
had stood by their principles, or their
avowed principles, he would have been
confirmed, The Philadelphia Press well
says Here was scholar of high re-
puts, a gentleman without taint, a citizen

In n Bad Way.

The party of Reform in the National
House of Representatives has begun to
feel sick at the stomach and to experience
the necessity of heroic dose which shall
purge its system of some very distrcS sing
impurities There are no less than six of
the Democratic officers of the House now
under cloud Smith, the Journal Clerk,
who so unworthily succeeded the yener-
able Barclay, is to be bounced forthwith
on account of his bounty-claim business,
and his assistant is in trembling expect
ancy of dismissal by reason of tue fact
that he was tried by Gen. Joe Hooker,
found guilty, and served out sentence
for having encouraged and abetted deser-
tons from the army. A doorkeeper was
yesterday retired from service for bad be-
havior, and another officer, said to have
been indicted more than once for grave
offenses, is to be brought to book shortly.
Then there is Boughton, Clerk of the
Military Committee, and Green Adams,
Clerk of the House, both under investiga-
tion by different committees. How many
others there are who ought to be investi-
gated no one can tell, but the showing up

the chant, till at the time of the departure
of the party, about nine O'Clock p. m,
about fifty Indians were engaged in the
dance. This dance, or fandango, as the
Indians cali it, is held in celebration of
the approach of spring, being sort of
thanksgiving for the disappearance of the
sn ow and cold and the advent of mild
weather. 1t is a solemn business for Mr.

hope to float into the ascendency on acur-

their insincere denunciations OF Republi-

cisey as they have done before.
The people will not be duped by this
duplicity. When the Democratic party
will denounce secession and rebellion as
the Republican party now denounces
fraud in its own ranks, and shows IFS sim

Democratic party denounces the doctrine

A Grecian Tribute to DR.. HOwe's
Memory

THE King of Greece has sent the follow.
ing letter. occasioned by the death of DR..
Howe, to the Greek Consul at Boston,
and the latter has conveyed it to Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe: "The death of DR..
Howe, one of the most ardent and distin
guished Philhellenes, whose name has
been identified with the regeneration of
Greece, caused not TO me but to all the
members of the Greek Government, the
most profound sorrow and emotion. The
same sentiment has been shared and man.
ifested on this occasion by the press and
people of Greece, who have thus borne a
worthy testimony TO the gratitude and APP
probation which the country undoubtedly
owes to the departed Philhellene, old in
years, but always young in fervor and en-
thusiasm. DIR. Howe came to our country
in his youth during the great struggle of
1921. Having then taken part in the
conflict which gave freedom to our ma
ton, he did not hesit tie, in his advanced
age, to revisit the soil of Greece during
the Cretan struggle of 1866, returning
after an interval of forty years, to bring
relief and comfort to the hungry and naked
women and children of the heroic island
For these reasons, entirely approving the
graceful manner in which, at the funeral
of the distinguished Philhellenc, you, as
the official representative of Greece, gave
expression to the National feeling for his
death, we beg you to communicate more
distinctly to his family the profound sor-
row of the Greek Government for the loss
of so eminent a man, making known to
them also the sympathy evinced by the
people of Greece in the bereavement sus-
tained by them"

A Piute FandangO.

A PARTY Of ladies and gentlemen of this
city made visit, last evening, to the
spring fandango of the Piute tribe of In
dians, which is now in progress. The
Indians were found encamped in a circle
formed by piling up brush, and at the
time of the arrival Of the party, dancing
not having yet commenced, the children
of the sage-brush were distributed within
the circle in various picturesque groups
The camp seemed TO be subdivided into
several smaller camps, in some Of which
games of cards were in progress; in
others, the braves were sitting around a
small sage-bru fire engaged in conver-
sation, the light of the fire giving sub
dued glow to the various colored Blankets
and the painted faces of the Indians, and
forming picture such as we have seen
painted of gypsy life Other groups con-
sisted of families, the women sitting or
lying quietly on the ground, and the in.
fants in their beds of rabbit-skins, and
here and there pair of tiny red-feet
could be seen peeping out from under the
skins catching the warmth OF the sage.
brush fire. On the outer edge of the
circle number of half grown boys and
girls were al play, running and jump,
ing through fire, and their glad
shouts and fiisky motions showed

Baseball Playing.

WE are not going to say word against
it. Oh, no. The boys would not like it.
1t is all the go just now. 1t is more in
repute than horse-racing or any other di
version.
Every young man who aspires to be
anything" has got a set of striped stock
ings, tri-colored cap and apair of tights,
which he calls his uniform.
In this uniform he develops his muscle.
To get muscle is the thing nowadays,
but it is not gained in the old fashioned
way. In the days of our grandparents,
nobody dreamed of getting strong by
swinging from trapezes, jumping over
poles, or playing baseball Muscle was
mostly obtained in those days by follow
ing the plow, swinging the scythe, and
performing with the wood-saw on the
winters fuel.
Baseball playing is one Of the most ap-
proved methods of getting muscle,
We freely confess that we know nothing
whatever about the game. We are in pro-
| found ignorance as to "pitches" and
catches" and innings" and ct cetera
We have seen the game played hundreds
of times, and we know just as much about
it as.we did when we were baby.
| But the players enjoy it. People go to
see them play who know just as much
about the game as we do, and they call it
"splendidm And of course it is. How
the local paper sets forth in glowing col
ors the triumphs of its own town club,
and how all the friends and relatives of
the various members of that club purchase
the paper and send it off to the friends
and relatives at distance, that they may
| know that the Stool Oaks have beaten the
STOPPING Willows by so many runs.
Through hot and cold, wet and dry,
storm and sunshine, your genuine base
ballist will play his favorite game.
The first may purple his nose, OF the
sun of July may broil him alive in his
uniform, but he will not give up. The
balls will very likely miss their aim, and
hit somebody on the skull, and crash in
somebody's nasal organ, or stop up an
eye here and there, but none Of the club
take warning thereby Accidents, they
say, will happen everywhere. a man is
! Just as likely to get his eyes bunged hoe
! ing corn, or laying bricks, as he is at base
ball playing Who is going to give up
such noble game because he gets little
hiI now and then?
All other business has to yield to base
ball playing.
| Does mother want Tom to help her
about any household job, Tom looks at
her in amazement Doesn't she know
that he has got to play ball? Does father
need him about making things snug for
winter, why the work must wait. Toms
club meets that very day to see about
playing a game with the Dropping Viii
low Club.
The uniform claims great deal of at
tentiOn, and the sisters of these base
ballists have to lay aside their crockett and
their tattings, and attend to demoralized
tights, and twisted stockings, and cham
pion belts.
And though checks be bruised from
blows of bats and random balls, and
hands be swelled to twice the size de-
signed by nature, the boys do not mind it.
