WHY CRD.fHf

Bishop Wilmer of Louisiana is said to have OBJ
served toa leading Democratic publiciSt the other
day: Any Southern politician of prominence
" who should venture to accept Il place III the
cabinet of Mr.. Hayes would find that his
" influence with his constituents had been
" completely cxtinguishcd.' Should Gov. Hayes
intend To put Il good Southern man into his
Cabinet we trust that the Bishops remark will
not frightrn the new President from his pur-
nose. Constituents is Il noun of multitude,
and comprises more than unrcgcnerated scces-
sionist, merely. The Bishop was evidently
thinking of constituencies before the rebellion,
when lew men at the South had all the
political power, east most of the votes, ana
filled most of the offices. Moreover, not all OF
the survivors of this class, it is well known,
are suky and saturated with old grudgcs and
grievances and If the President wishes to
put Southern statesman into bis Cabinet, our
opinion is that no difficulty will be expert
enccd in finding ten, twenty, thirty southern
men, not one Of whom would refuse to take
the Office. just Try it,
The Bishop does not believe in Cancellation.
What does he believe in! How long does he
suppose that we can 20 ON without i'll And
if it be possible for n few marplots, by their
obstinate adherence to dead doctrines, to keep
their States in Il condition no better than that

Government because it was not run IN accord
ance with his IDEAS and we confess we read
with shiver the portion of his speech OF sat

from his knowing so much about the Constitu-

The Democratic pretender ought to he a
good deal discouraged, but he does not give
up. lie has gone all through the Electoral
Colleges asking for recOgnitiOn- and he can
not get it. He spent large sum of money on
Cr0nin, and CrOnin iss discarded unanimously.
Now he purposes after the failure of bribery
and buster, to try suit at law. He asks for
a special Act of Congress to give him "a standing
in court, with particular provisions to enable
him TO choose his own Judge and select his
own Jury. With these advantages he promises
new TichbOrne trial surprising III length the cele-
bratcd case which III its two branches, civil and

Having first tied up the estate, 50 to speak,

The Brooklyn Alderman seems to be worse than
the average, bad as the average is. One member Of
the present Board creature by the name Of DonO-
van, has kept it without a President for two months
by invariably voting for himself and thus prevent

Cronin probably the only man between Long Island
and Oregon of an endowment of impudence equal to
his has had no effect upon him. Alderman Girls
wold who spoke yesterday against Mr. Stranahan's
confirmation, must be statesman of the same
school, He is one of those lOud-mouthed people who
talks about "the peoples heart" and, having by
common report, snug property of his own, puts
himself publicly in the category of We, the poor

Senator Herman has an easy opportunity now
to make a reputation for non-paItiSanship. Let
him vote down the himsy Democratic objections
TO the vote of South Carolina framed to kill time,
and hardly stout enough to hold together for
six hours of argument. He can do so without
putting in jeopardy any advantage of which
the Democrats have cherished a real expccta-
ton. Florida has been counted, and Louisiana,
and Oregon. All the real contests have been
decided This over South Carolina is but
sham fight out of which the Democrats have
never hoped for anything but delay. Mr.
Herman can slay dead party without shed
ding any blood, and 20 down to history as The

Chicago's defalcatiOn is the same old story
over again. The Postmaster, a citizen III cX-
cellent standing, yielded to the temptation TO
use Government money for a time in his
private business until he could effect a loan
somewhere. He failed to replace it in season,
and suffers the exposure and ruin that often
follow such an Ofltnse. The same morbid
sympathy to which we have grown ac-
customed, for persons who never would have
been forced into rascalty save by the pressure
of circumstances, and might have made full
PREPARATION in secret if business ill-luck had not
brought exposure, will doubtless make itself
heard Recent disclosures of breaches of
faith by trustees of estates and officers
of banks and other corporations, as
well as Government officials, indicate that
more of this logic is put into pdc-
teal application than is generally supposed.
When the average man holding position of
trust has been educated up to the idea that
the funds he holds are indeed sacred; that the
moment he borrows he steals and that he be-
comes a thief, not when he is found out but
when he has done something to cOnccal-wid-
ows and orphans, banks and Governments, will
be safer.
