The Gardiner Home Journal can't make

If we may believe the Detroit Free Press
a Michigan undertaken has hanging in his
shop card reading, "It is pleasure to show
goods"
A Democratic majority offs has been de-
creed for the next House of Representatives
by that high and mighty tribunal which con-
sists of Clerk Adams.
A Mississippi farmer found newborn
infant on his doorstep the other morning,
labelled "Samuel J. Tilden." He is con-
vinced there has been ''fraud" somewhere.
From testimony on both sides it evident
that Charleston society tried to treat Chief
Justice Waite with discourtesy, and that Mr..
Waite did not discover the slight which was
intended.
A sarcastic correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch writes that the people of Bath
county, Va, will support for governor 'any
good, honest man who is in favor of repudia-
tion."

The PENNSYLVANIA Hanging.

Thursday last eleven men came to the end
OF The rope in Pennsylvania. They belonged
to the infamous order of Molie Maguires,
an association of incendaries and assassins
which has terrorized the mining districts of
Pennsylvania for many years. 1t was said
by the advocates of capital punishment that
the hanging of these leaders who had been
convicted of murder would have so great an
effect upon the other members of the band
that outrages would cease and society be
freed from apprehension. Certainly if
capital punishment deters from crime the
spectacle of eleven men hanging by the neck
ought to make community rigidly virtuous,
at least in all outward appearance.
What aoas the result? On the very night
after the execution two men were murdered.
To-day bands of armed and masked men still
infest the mountains, and kill, whenever
they are found, the witnesses who testified
against the Mollie Maguires. The plan of
civilizing that community by terror has
utterly failed, and the peaceful inhabitants of
the mining districts are fleeing for safety.
The much vaunted method of reformation
by hanging is anything but success. In
consideration of its complete failure in
Pennsylvania and elsewhere would it not be
well to try some other method? Certain ly
no worse result could follow.

VIGOROUS efforts have been made to arrest
the progress of the Indian war in Idaho and

tiers to the scene Of hostilities, authorizing
the issue of arms and ammunition to the peo-
pie of Oregon, Idaho and Washington Terri

tribes whose open hostility would intensity
the existing dangers. Great uncertainty pre-

The war in Turkey is being prosecuted
with the great activity by the Russians
Kars is under siege and its garrison is held in
check, while the main body of the Russian
army is driving Moukhtar Pasha before it.
He will soon be shut up in the entrench-
ments about Erzeroum. If he attempts to
make stand there he may be surrounded
and forced to surrender, or his line of retreat
to the Black Sea coast and through Anatolia
may be intercepted. The Russians may
meet occasional checks in Asia Minor, but
their force Is so great that their onward
movement cannot long be arrested. The
crossing of the Danube at Galatz means
the destruction of the two railroads which
traverse the Dobrudscha from the Black SEA.
to the Danube, and the turning of Shumla
and cooperation with other movements from
the Danube for concentric march on
Adrianople. Should Moukhtar Pasha's army
be crushed, Asia Minor and Syria will be at
the mercy of Russia. Such disaster would
be fatal to the Turks, and would blight all
hopes Of further successful resistance.

seems no longer doubt that plans are rapid

give her consent that England shall put
10000 men, one third of them Moslems from
India, into Egypt; and this force is deemed
ample TO do the work.

BUENos AYREs, South America, has re.
Gently been visited by one of the most de.
structive rain storms ever experienced in
that country. 1t lasted for several weeks,
and the damage done to the large sheep and
cattle farms was immense. The American
consul states the losses of sheep, cattle and
horses as literally beyond estimate, but
that hundreds of thousands if not millions
of head must have been drowned on the
pains where they were pasturing.

ATTORNEY GENERAL FAIRCHILD, of New
York, is receiving rather harsh treatment at
the hands of the Democracy. He refused to
make use of Tweed's confession without ex-
planning why it was that he refused, and the
public mind at once jumped to the conclusion
that if he should use the confession it would
be necessary to roof in Tammany Hall, the
Manhattan Club and the City Hall, and use
them as jails. The party has escaped this
sad ordeal, but, instead of thanking Mr..
Fairchild, turns on him and abuses him as
vigorously as if he were shielding Republi-
cans. Fairchild was Tilden man when
last heard from, and it is not likely that he is
engaged in helping the Republican party.
