The MURDERoUs Democrats are at work
again in Louisiana. Those Republicans
who, with the Democrats in Congress,
were responsible for the failure to enact
laws to appropriately carry out the spirit
of the reconstruction acts and the Consti-
tutional amendments, must contemplate
this condition of affairs with anything but
the self qualification of duty well and faith
fully performed.

THURMAN AND ALLEN have evidently
locked horns in Ohio. The old man insists
that his son-in-law is in duty bound to re-

THE political morals of the day" is
the text from which the Sham Reformers
preached their Fifth avenue sermon yester-
day. They may know something of the
text in the abstract or from observations
made at times when some of them were
mistakenly accepted TO be Republicans in
good standing but they can have no true
inwardness of feeling regarding it.

"THE good name of the nation" " is one
of the things the Fifth-avenoodle shsms
claim to be trying to preserve. Yet they
are of the class who have all along aided
the Democratic SANDER mills, known as
investigating committees of the ex Confed-
crate House, in scattering broadcast the
most barefaced falsehoods and malicious
innuendoes regarding our public officials.

That German Congressional district in
New York city is in no danger of being
seduced by Carl Schurz. OF course, he is
now attempting toaccomplish to that act, but
failing to do so will undoubtedly tramp
away with carpet bag and pretzels to some
other locality-certainly not back to Wis
consin, Michigan or Missouri, or any other
place where he is well known.

"SINCERELY desiring to serve the best
"interests of the American people" is the
high sounding phrase with which the ad-
dress of the Fifth avenue LiberalC) Con-
ference begins. Tue ''best interests of the
American people" are the last things these
chronic malcontents had in view. They
are of the "outs," and selfshly claim that
until they are again of the ''ins" the Re
public will be in danger, and the people
will stand upon the verge Of if they do
not fall into, pit of unfathomsble corrup-
ton. Alas for these degenerate days!

I WHEN it is remembered that the ma
jority of the participants in the Schurz-
Bryant meeting in New York yesterday
are either sore-headed Republicans, or have
not voted or acted with the party for years,
it will at once become apparent that their
proceedings are not entitled to much con-
siderauon at the hands of respectable, sub
stantial and consistent Republicans.

The Democratic House, not willing to toll
carefully and legitimately in their inyestiga-
tions, have attempted to reach the Presiden-
tial goal by few gigantic strikes by the way
of scandal and false rumors. Their race to
the White House has not been healthy, brac-
ing race, but a steeple chase-a head-long,
maddending rush. 1t is the rush of forlorn
hope to an imminent deadly breach-to a
breach in the citadel of political capital,
with its defenses of ruined regulations, its
pitfalls of scandalous rumors and its legions
of imposing lies. The end and aim of each
leader has been to enter the breach over as
many regulations as he could possibly njure.
From the first days of the session they have
cast aside the cold dictates OF virtue, prudence
and honor; hurled honesty TO the dogs, tram
pied upon truth, sent scandal over the land
and smirched the character of men whose lives
have been faithfully spent in the service of
their country. Thus five months and half
mud-throwing such as was never witnessed be-
fore, even in the most acrimonious political
contests. The general public interests have
been ignored; legislation which should have
been a ccomplished duringfhe early days ofthe
session has not yet been brought into exist
ence; every movement has been aimed at mint
ing political wealth-all this that they might
plant their flag once more on the White House,
and, looking around with a smile of triumph,
cry, "With bullets we lost, with ballots we
have wonI'

Perhaps the most embittered personal war
fare existing at present is that waged between
the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Louisville
Courier Journal. The former spares neither
decency nor the Kings English in its exac-
erbated thrusts at the latter. 1t speaks of the
editorials of the Journal as the "insane rawlings
of the half-demented editor of the Louisville
hypothecated hyphen," and modestly alludes
to him as poor "drunken, rambling drab," !"
adding further that his capacity for low
blackguardism is fully equal to his ability to
cheat at cards and get drunk at the expense
of other people" If this fight continues
much longer there will be funeral in the
West, followed by a hanging entertainment
well worth attending.
