GUNPOWDER OIL.

A preposterous idea has been in circulation
| ever since civilization took birth that obtain
ing money under false pretenses was a crime
and as such the parties perpetrating it were
amenable to the law. In our column of in
surance news we relate q very instructive
occurrence in relation to coal oil: gentle
man goes to his dealer and purchases what is
sold to him for safety OIL he has no sooner
Lit his lamp than he is satisfied by the dam
gerous vagaries Of the flame that his ''safety
oir' is simply naphtha. He applies to the
Board of Health for information and relief
He obtains the information, which is readily
given, but as to the small matter of relief he
is told that If he had been blown up, his
house burnt down and his whole family sac
rificed, he would have had cause for civil
action in damages. This is very consolatory.
We are unsophisticated and want to light up
our dwelling. We go to a dealer and ask for
oil, the grocer gives us gunpowder; we are
blown up and every vestige of our race and
family is destroyed Our only recourse is to
institute suit in damages We think that
we get the worse of it, If everything is proper
ly considered. It seems to us that the dealer
who sells one thing for another is swindler,
and ought to be amenable to the law

That enterprising Journal the Chicago
Times, or rather it's New Orleans correspond
ent, has discovered q new party and located
1t in Louisiana. This is an Administration
party, that will support the President and his
policy throughout Its first work will be to
make dash for the Custom House, the COM
plete control of which 1t will demand as the
price OF its support. On the basis of this pa
tronage it expects to start out in politics. The
leaders are, we learn from the Times, War
moth and Gen. Randall Gibson These gen.
tlemen have already made all the necessary
arrangements for the birth of this young one.
The enterprising reporter who discovered
all this, in advance Of the people of New
Orleans and the Union, confesses that the
story was based probably altogether, on the
fact that Warmoth and Gen. Gibson had
travelled together on the same steamboat In
Europe, and had then been seen to converse
This is the manner in which the sensational
news of Western journals Is manufactured.

THE GERMAN.

We are not prepared to entirely sympathize
with Mrs. Gen. Sherman in her wholesale
and unqualified condemnation of round
dances. yet we most heartily concur in her
somewhat indignant protest against the
assumption of dancing people that society
must utterly abandon itself to the German,
and that young girls who refuse to devote
themselves entirely to its enhancing and
voluptuous measures are only fit for wall
flowers, to be neglected and left to amuse
themselves with albums and an interchange of
Tupperisms with the aged and infirm, and
even sneered at for abstinence that may be
occasioned by moral conviction or individual
taste 1t seems to us that there is a great
deal of good sense and justice in this protest,
and any one who has any experience what

The statement in tho reportoriaI columns
of the Times yesterday morning intimating
that compromise had been agreed upon be-
tween Judge Spofford and Kellogg, to the
end that the latter should Withdraw his pre-
tensions to the Senatorship, and that Judge
-Spufford would support him for the office of
Collector of the port Of New Orleans we
are authorized to say is utterly without
foundation. Judge Spofford, the people of
Louisiana may rest assured, has made no
compromise with Mr.. w. P. Kellogg, and they
may be sure that he will make none. Judge
Spofford is the legally elected Senator from
louisiana, and he does not think that the
Senate has fallen SO low that 1t is necessary
to buy his way into it through compromises
and compacts with sneai-thieves, frauds and
ndynntnrers

The establishment OF the Atlantic and Pa

OF all the base betrayals, of all the mean
treachery, told of in history or in fiction, that
| Colorado election of last week was the worst.
The constitution of Colorado provided that ON
| the first election after the little Rocky Noun
tain State had entered the Union the question
of woman suffrage should be submitted to its
citizens. On this question the voters of Colo
RADIO last Tuesday passed judgment.
The women Of Colorado seemed really
anxious to vote. They organized a Woman
Suffrage Central Committee, raised funds
for its support and use, and resolved to
thoroughly canvass the State in support of
their claims. The fight at first seemed alto
gether one-sided one. The woman-suffra-
gists found themselves without an antagonist
Or opponent, nobody dared meet them in the
field. The newspapers were loud in their sup
port, the preachers encouraged them in this
holy crusade, and even the politicians shout
ed and hurrahed for them. Everybody en-
couraged them; everybody promised to vote
for 'the ladies, forever" 1t looked as If it was
an idle, useless campaign all on one side, but
the women had their hearts in it, perhaps they
rather liked campaign work, insisted on a
thorough canvass of the State made eloquent
speeches in every sequestered canyon, thun-
dered in loudest tones to every mountain
peak, and badgered and prosecuted every
voter, until he had given his word of honor
as gentleman to vote for woman suffrage.
On the day before the election the women
suffragists had clear majority of several
thousands in fact, nineteen-twentieth
of all the votes. All the newspapers-the
New York Times, World, the Chicago Times,
etc.-predicted the triumph of this future
sixteenth amendment. But, alas! treachery
