Retirement is not religion although pietv
has refining tendency. True Christian
charity is refinement and mach more. The
Pagan Greeks and Romans were exceed !
ingly refined. The most elegant ladies and
gentlemen that Unlimited command of
money, slaves, wit and education ever
made, were those who witnessed the con
teses OF the g!adiators and the exposure of
Christian martyrs to the wild beasts, in the
Roman amphitheatres. In that society CT
princes and slaves truth had no right to
appear: Fashion was supreme. Horace
could demOlish the belief OF the people from
Judea with single lice Of HE verse. Yet
She Romans all this time we're in deadly
error, and dying reprobates. So tnere are
now IN this country aud in England more
wealthy and courtly hammered people oct
side of the Church than in it. But it is the
refinement of wealth not of cbarity.-Catko-

There was knocE q the door; lieutep

A Costly Passenger.

The verdict of the jury in the Court On
Common Pleas in the case Of the young man
Henry Friede, which compels the Third
Avenue Horse Car Company to pay him ten
thousand dollars damages for injuries result
ing in the loss of a limb while descending
from one of the defendants cars, comes al
an opportune moment Contributiye negli,
gence was, as usual the companys defence.
There is something SO supremely impudent
in one branch of this defence that it deserves
special attention. This is that the defend,
ant contributed to his injuries by standing
on the front platform, against which practice
the company has a posted notice III every
car. 1t has long been ruled that the greed
which takes the money from passen.
gers who are so forced to ride in
order to get carried at all breaks down the
validity of any defence based on the notice.
That it should have been used in tho late
trial shows conclusively that the companies
know the danger to life of the practice which
they keep lobbyists at Albany to preserve
for them, and when they come to calculate
that this single trial viii cost the amount OF
two hundred thousand fares, exclusive OF the
law expenses, they will be moved to consider
whether it pays after all to be so avaricious
We have no sympathy with the muicted
company, which has shown itself the leader
in every infraction Of the public rights. Ts
the people who go home hanging on the
straps, crowded unhealthily together like
hogs, with all the concomitants of discour-
tesy, indecency and discomfort, we com
mend this defence, showing that the COM
pany will not only do wrong, but seek to
make that very wrong their defence. 1t will
make "no seat no fare" man of even the
inveterate ''strappers."

turned the Captains certificate and cen.
sured the first and third officers for
withholding information respecting the
catastrophe. This leniency may be all
within the line of English maritime regula-
tions' but morally it wears very grave as.
pect, for the facts show that decided en-
deavor was made to keep all knowledge OF
the collision from the public. It is morally
as discreditable as the conduct Of the man
who, justiiably or uniustifably, drives his
vehicle over pedestrian and then lashes his
horses to escape the consequences of an

pear at Cincinnati as the only Eastern can
didate, and that President Grant, Senator
Morton. Secretary Bristow and Governor
Hayes all Western men, were his only
formidable riyalz "A change came
DER the spirit Of my dream" when
an Eastern rival suddenly started up who
is likely TO go into the Convention
with quadruple the number of votes which
he can command, and who is a truer repre-
sentative of Eastern ideas With Senator
Morton as his chief rival Mr. Blaine had
nothing to fear on the currency question.
But against Senator Conkling he has no such
easy advantage Mr. Blaine's former record
on the currency question is very similar to
that of the democratic Governor Hendricks
hard money man with boundless tolerance
for erring brethren. In the heated currency
debates two years ago Speaker Blaine
stood as neutral as Governor Hendricks
did last fall between the hard and
soft money men of his own State and Ohio.
When the republican party was in danger of
splitting on the currency question, in 1874,
after President Grants veto of the imitation
bill which had passed both houses without
a sign of dissent from Speaker Blaine, he is
known to have exerted a great deal of trim
ming activity to bring about compromise.
As soon as a sterling hard money candidate
from the East is brought into the field Mr..
Blaine suddenly discovers the necessity of
making hard money record, and finds the
urgency so pressing that he cannot wait until
the currency question comes regularly before
the House before Haunting his new hard
money principles in the face of the country.
We think it mistake to smuggle speech
ON the currency into debate on another
subject when Mr. Blaine had nothing to say
which had not been often said before.
Everybody must see that a speech so mis-
timed, so irrelevant, so foreign to the busi-
ness before the House, so barren of new
ideas, 50 utterly destitute of practi-
cal suggestions as to methods, is a
mere personal fetch to give its au-
thor hard money record when he
finds that he is threatened with formid-
able hard money rival whose record on that
question is bright, clear and consistent, and
who faithfully represents the sentiments of
the Eastern States. This fresh exhibition of
the intellectual and political servility which
keeps jealous watch of rivals and attempts
to sail in their wake will not raise BIr.
Blaine in the estimation Of his countrymen.
statesman should not thus subsist on the
crumbs which fall from the tables of men
who are Independent and original enough to
have a policy of their own.

Attorney General Pierrepont's Mistake.

Attorney General PierrepOnt's Mistake.
An obvious rule of propriety restraints us
from commenting on the proceedings of the
Court at st. Louis during the progress of
General Babcock's trial, although a journal
published at this distance might, without
disrespect for the Court, indulge in more
freedom than would be proper in the local
newspapers near the scene Of the trial If
General Babcock is innocent all just men
must wish that his innocence may be vindi-
Gated, and the press has no moral right to
prejudice the jury either against him or for
him.
The duty of standing aloof and refraining
from all attempts to influence the trial one
way or the other is equally binding on the
President, the Attorney General and all
officers of the government who have no inn
mediate connection with the trial. They
have no more right to PREJUDICE the case and
attempt to influence the Court than the press
of the vicinity or the press at distance.
Judged by this sound rule the course of At
torney General Pierrepont seems incapable
of defence. He seems, at an earlier stage of
the proceedings, to have mistaken the
extent of his authority. The statute
of 1869 takes the prosecution Of revenue
offences quite out of his hands and gives the
Treasury Department complete control over
them, authorizing it to settle or compromise
cases in the interest of the government, and,
of course, to exempt minor offenders as a
means of procuring evidence against the
greater criminals who have used them as
tools. 1t is a common practice with prose-
cutting officers to promise lenity to accom-
plices who are willing to turn States evil
dence and whose testimony is indispen-
sable for the conviction of their asso-
ciates. In apparent defiance of this sound
practice Attorney General Pierrepont issued,
just previous to the Babcock trial, circular
to the District Attorneys engaged in the pros
ecution of the whiskey thieves which would
naturally be understood as forbidding the
usual immunity to criminals who consent to
give testimony against their associates. That
circular if understood in its obvious sense,
would prevent any person from turning
States evidence and defeat the ends of JUS
tice by terrifying witnesses and shut
ting their mouths. A thousand newspa-
pers could not so efectually interfere
with the administration of justice as a threat
from the Attorney General of the United
States that accomplices who consented to
testify against their principals shall be rigor-
ously punished on the strength of their own
confessions 1t looks too much as if the
Attorney Generals devotion to the wishes of
the President had swayed him to compli-
ance inconsistent with the duties of his po-
sition and subversive of one of the ordinary
means of convicting criminals. If this was
not the intent of this strange and unexam-
pied circular it is difficult to assign any
reason why it was issued at all.

Of sending unseaworthy ships to sea, with
the inhuman object of having them founder
for the sake of the insurance, has resulted
in the introduction of two bills in
the English House of Commons-one
supplementary of the temporary Ship
ping act passed at the close of the
last session and one devoted exclusively to
the subject of marine insurance. Sir Staf-
ford Northcote who introduced the latter,
was President of the Board of Trade in
