THEY have no dog law in MarIi


THEY have no dog law in Marlin,
and the Marlin Spike wanted the ex-
cessively numerous and pertinaciously
noisy CANNES put to death. 1t made
one or two speeches on the subject,
and one little case of hydrophobia
did the business. A public benefactor
and philanthropist, who could not sleep
because OF the interminable variety of
internal noises made by innumerable
dogs, went forth with divers ssvory
slices of juicy beef. lie distributed it
along the highways and about the gen.
eral assembly ant. conference places of
yelping ours and they did eat. Next
morning there was perfect peace in
Marlin. No jerking notes of Jowler's
or Trays sweet voice were heard to
welcome the rising sun, and the most
nervous and idgettiest old maids of
Marlin slept and slumbered on as never
before, TIL church chimes told Of COM
ing nooDtide. Nobody in Marlin had
ever known before an. hour of sweet,
unbroken repOse. A correspondent
says that ten wagon loads of common
ours and bench-legged, bOb-tailed dogs
Of high and low degree were carted
out of Marlin last Sunday. The fieas
that heretofore infested the soil, Civ
ing brilliant luster and unsteady sheen
to the surface of the lustrous streets

from this "sweetest village Of all the

Marlin's wise ruler TO him Of Austin.

NEXT to the Russo-Turkish war, in
che Worlds eye S, is the Hinlto- Seligman.
In every synagogue in America and
Europe, Jewish eloquence is intensi-
fed IN earnestuess when leveled at
Hilton. Hilton is lifted up more con-
spicuously than Bsrnum or Brick
Pomeroy or Charlie Ross or the double
headed infant. The New York Herald
heIghtens the force of popular favor
by declaring that every Israelite IN the
United States should resent the insult.
Judge Hilton has been brought into
nearly every synagogue, and held up
to scorn and execration. He had been
previously punished in the press, but
the opportunity of criticislng him in
the synagogues on the Jewish Sabbath,
we are told, was not neglected. The
issue is now much broader than the
mere question as to whether hotel
keepers have the moral or legal right
to refuse to accept Jews as guests.
The Rev. DIR. Huebsch denies that
snything in the history Of Judaism
justified the course of Mr.. Hilton,
while Rev. DIR. DE Sols Mendes COM
pares his action to the hostility mani
tested toward ancient Israel by the
Moabites. Rev. Henry 7. Mendes
argues the question from bumanita-
rian point of view,. and states that
there are unworthy Christians as well as
unworthy Jews, and probably includes
Judge Hilton in the former category,
and DIR. Jacobs treats it in its moral
and religious relations to society.
These sermons are of particular inter
est as the expressions of the authorized
exponents of the Hebrew faith, and
indicate the character of the protest
made by the race everywhere. We
shall soon hear from the synagogues
everywhere, and answers TO Judge Hill
toms Pharaoh-like DEGREES will come
10 Us from Europe. This is one of the
most interesting religious discussions
that has arisen of late years, and the
more important because it involves not
merely questions of faith, but the
framework Of society itself.

then in getting back to the original,

distance from US that he was when
Shepherd Kings brought his fathers in
chains to build pyramids and nilume-

were separated in the beginning and
in the end are no nearer to one an
other, and human laws that would
compel identity only drive down deep
wedges between whites and blacks.

DR.. ]. G. Holland, in ScriJner for
July, says there seems to be q revival
Of the popular interest in the temper =
but in England. Indeed, 1t seems 10
us that tho peculiar phase which the
revival presents in this country Is born
of the English facts. The terrible state
of things in that country among the
poor, which has given rise to such
noble efforts for temperance by Cardi-
nal Manning, has reused, at last, the
ecclesiastics of the English church, and
it is becoming quite respectable nowesa-
England to work for temperance. That
makes it respectable here, Of course,
and 1t is really very encouraging 10 ace
winc-bibbing clergynen and church
members trying, IN moderate way, 20
counteract the legitimate elects Of their
own pcrniCious example. IL is tr1fle
irritating TO listen TO their disclaimers
of sympathy with the extremists,
who have made temperance hissing
and by-word among respectable peo-
pie. II is a bit raspink 10 the original
Adam in an old-fashioned teetotaler,
who has denied himself that he might
save his fellows, 10 be told that he is
looked upon by the people OF the new
departure as fanctic; but he under
stands exactly what that means, and
should forgive il and forget 1t.
1t is a comfort and encouragement 10
know that the results Of intemperance
have become SO we'll appreciated that
linen OF moderate viDws" cannot keep
on with their wine-drinkiHg without
dong something against their con-
sciences. II is even amusing TO see
them hold TO their wine glasses with
one hand, while they gesture turi0usly
with the other about the abuses Of the
excise law, and stand upon their rights
as freeuen, gentlemen and Christians,
with one foot, while the other is lively
in kicking the illegal rum-seller.
But We would not make fun Of them,
for, however much they msy be blinded
as TO their own position and the posi
tion of those whose principles and
policy they have derided for so many
years, they are to be congratulated that

HE LOUISVILLE NefoS says tnat the
Iowa Republicans, at the approaching
State convention, will adopt resolu-
-tlons denunciatory Of Hayes's admins
pected warfare upon thee" the iong-ex-
the house of his friends will asstiR
definite form. The action O: the Iowa
Republicans will supply the keynote
to a similar assault in other States
where Republican politicians stand
ready to begin an earnest conflict with
the policy which the President has in
augurated. The followers OF Blaine
in the East and of Wade In the West
will at once proceed 10 perfect their
organization, and by the time Congress
meets the elements of warfare upon
Ohio's favoritc son will have gathered
like thunder storm about HIM. Az
earnest effort is to be made to keep
down the impending strife, but it ap-
pears to be inevitable. Mr.. Hayes is
in a critical attitude, and nothing
short of the Grmest decision of chsrac
ter will save him from overwhelming
political complications. Ii he move
forward unfalteringlY in the course
which he has thus far indicated, he
will have the united support of the
Democrats, who alone can insure the
success of his administration. If,
however, he waver to the right and to
the left, striving to please both sides,
he will find himself bereft of the Or
ganized aid of either the Democrats or
the Republicans, and, as a consequence,
his administration will prove to be an
inglorious failure. The time is at hand
for the display by the President of the
highest moral courage. He must de-
m0nstrate his fitress for positive lead
ershlp, or confess his inability to en-
counter political emergency demand
ing the application of craftsmanship
and illustrations of the loftiest moral
heroism.
Since the above was written our dis.
patches tell of the action of the Iowa
Radical convention. Palpably enough
the war has begun within the body OF
the Republican party, and Radicalism,
like the devils that were in the SWINE,
will be cast out and drown themselves
in some lake of oblivion. Conserva-
tive Republicanism, in the coming ses.
sion of Congress, will become an unit
and, allying itself with the conserva-
tism of Virginia, as con:radistin
guished from the Mills and Martin
Democracy of Texas, we will have new
issues and fresh questions to monopo.
hze the attention and passions Of par
ties, and the South is liberated at last,
not only by presidential but by popu

Sherman's policy of contraction and
devotion to gold are prop.rly con

Pennsylvania and other States the
strength of the administration will be

President Hayes in Indiana. But the
rending of parties is begun and none
may foretell the end.

WHEN this Mexican question came
originally before the cabinet of Mr.
Hayes, and Lerdo wrote his protest
against American invasion to arrest
Mexican msrauders, the STATESMAN
said that Diaz would adopt different
policy and, asserting to the cxactions
of President Hayes, win for his gov
ernment recognition b5 the United
States. This end is almost consumma-
ted, and Lerdo finds himself utterly
helpless and hopeless, and Diaz is
more firmly eHthroncd in Mexico than
he hoped. Moreover, the policy ap-
proved so earnestly by the STATESMAN,
objecting to the present acquisition of
territory and urging the invasion of
the country by railways, instead of
armies, is approved at Washington.
When the fruit is ripe it may be
plucked. We would only have Mexico
when Americanlzed, and then Mexico
will ask for annexation, and then Mex
ico, and not till then, will be capable
of self-government, and then there will
be no need for armies or satraps.
We are induced by our correspondent,
Horace Rowe, to advert to these facts.
He states that beef becomes very cost
ly on the other side Of the Rio Grande,
and that Dlaz's power in the Republic
is more firmly fixed than ever before.
His recognition by the United States
as the successor of Lerdo terminates
the contest between these two, and the
day is at hand when the commercial
relations between the two countries
will be as advantageous as those of pol
itics are fortunately conceived and
wisely defined. Mr.. Hayes's admins
tration deals as wisely with foreign
| as with domestic States and parties.

ENGLAND's purposes, as the Eastern
