A Long.wnded gIok Man.

At Toledo, Ohio, Judge West and Gen.
Geo. A. Sheridan were appointed to speak
together. IL was one Of Judge Vests
bad nights. He was not feeling strong,
and as Sheridan was rattling speaker, il
was the determination to give the night to
him. The chairman Of the meeting, there
fore, according to understanding, opened
by stating that Judge West was ssfeeble"
and could occupy but few minutes.
The Judge opened at FIVE minutes past
8, and became 50 absorbed with the sub
ject he had in view, he knew nothing of
the fight Of time, and closed with dag
zling peroration at nine minutes after II
o'clock-occupying only three hours and
sixteen minutes.
Sheridan came forward and said he
was somewhat feeble" himself, but he did
not think they required to hear from more
than one nckly man in one evening. The
audience roared themselves out Of the hall.

CENTS.

A penny revival is going on throughout
the country. st. Louis, as we noticed the
other day, began this fight and succeeded in
it most auspiciously, and now the other pen
niless cities of the South and West are eager
to initiate its example. With the exception of
Virginia, Charleston and Savannah one cent
pieces, or pennies as they are vulgarly
called, have never been in common use in the
South. Five cents worth was the smallest
amount of any article one could buy. In CAL
ifornia Trey are grander and more aristo-
cratic than we, and refuse to take any coin
under dime.
The way in which the penny was intro
duced in the st. Louis market few days ago
was at once the most simple natural and
effective. At the request of the merchants of
the city, the United States Sub Treasurer at

1t is fortunate thing that those editors
who are joking the Russian soldiers so pleas
antly on their many failures; who are laugh
ing SO merrily at unlucky grand dukes, and
who are punning so atrociously on the
kngthy names of Russian generals, are not
NOW travelling through the empire of the
Car. An editor in Russia has very differ
ant experience from an American editor. His
chief strength should lie not so much in his
brain as in his back, as that has to bear the
principal burden of his editorials.
To start Russian newspaper is no easy
matter Ever so many formalities are reuui-
site A press, scissors and paste pot will
not alone suffice; the would-be journalist
must have more. To begin. he must file at
8he Office Of the Governor of the province a
bond, signed by twelve solvent, respectable
and loyal citizens who are responsible moral
~, physically and financially for his conduct.
He must file also police certificate of his
good. moral character what a tyranical sys-
temD With these formalities attended to he
Can secure license from the Governor and
local censor to carry on a newspaper for a
year, but only for that time, as he must re-
new his petition and license each year. In
addition he must make deposit with the au-
fhorities of 5000 rubles, and 1000 rubles ad-
ditonal for each thousand subscribers to his
paper.
He Is then able to begin bringing out his
paper. The paper, however, must be SUBJ
naitted to sort OF literary quarantine before
n Is sold, must not contain any extracts from
Axcign Journals no matter what their import.
md must have been read and approved by the
locAl censor.
In case any of these provisions are violated,
however slightly. the editor is liable to fine,
Imprisonment, the knout or Siberia. No
Russian newspaper, except the official journal.
has ever been able to run along without SUBJ
5ecting itself to punishment.
The Moscow Ftrol has been fined seventeen
times within a year, and that it is extraordin-
arily lucky is shown by the fact that no less
than forty-six papers in st. Petersburg and
zorty-two in Moscow have been COM
PEELED to suspend in the past seven
years, because the fines paid by them to the
government far exceeded their incomes. AS
1or the editors, they farce worse than their |
papers. good editor in Russia seldom lasts |
over a year. At the end of that time he is |
broken down with whippings and |
imprisonment, and even, If not banished to |
Siberia, is too much of a wreck to do any
writing.
Asa consequence, the Russian papers have
grown wonderfully discreet and scarcely ever
Iefer to the present little 'unpleasantness"

The result of the election for members
Of the New York Legislature, on which so
much depended In that State, and which will
probably determine the question of Conk-
aing's successor, is as follows: The last Sem
ate stood thirteen Democrats, eighteen Re-
publicans; the present Senate will stand four
teen Democrats, seventeen Republicans,
or Republican majority Of three. One
of the Democrats Morrissey-de-
Ieated the regular Democratic nominee,
and was elected only with the as
slstance of Republican votes. The Demo-
Gratis gained five Republican districts, and
the Republicans four Democratic districts-a
net Democratic gain of only one district
The last Assembly stood: Democrats 81,
Independents /, Republicans 70, Republican
majority of 10. The present Assembly will
stand: 65 Republicans, Workingmen, 81
Democrats, or Republican majority of O.
-Four of the Democrats are anti-Tammany
men, elected in opposition to the regular
Democratic ticket. The Republican majority
on joint ballot is 5.
One popularity of the election was the
small majorities obtained by the successful
candidates. In no less than twenty Assembly
districts members were elected by majorities
under 100, and in six out of thirty-one SEN
atorial districts the majorities were under 200.
The great desire Of the New York Demo-
Gratis has been to carry the legislature and
pass new and just apportionment bill
Under the present apportionment system 1t
seems wholly impossible to dislodge the Re-
pnblicans from the legislature. and particu-
larly from the Senate, over which they have
held control for years.

CHAMPION PERFORMER ASD Reform.
FIR AGAIN TO TAKE THE FIELp.-It
Is announced in Washington that
Hayes is soon to start out on another
tour with his Political Menagerie.
This time he goes in compliance with
the advice Of his cabinet. II is not a
trip TO be taken for mere recreation,
but for the public good,at the instance
Of his constitutional advisers" after
grave consultation. Verify, Mr..
Hayes is the champion Civil Service
Reformer of the age. He is the first
man at the head Of the government
who has dared to say that officials
should keep aloof from politics, and
at the same time send his chief cabinet
officer to make a political speech up
on the eve Of an important election in
his own State. He is the first Presi'
dent, too, who has had the distinguish
ing courage to muster his cabinet and
make regular stumpspeaking can
vass of the nation, within less than
six months after his Inauguration.
The result Of the Ohio election seems
to indicate that the Presidents efforts
for reform are having a very happy
effect. Hope he'll keep his show a
