Whipped In.

Alderman Carse succeeded in whipping
the mayor into the Republican traces to
the extent of votisg with him on the
Lundy ordinance. and then the average
alderman unanimously increased the tax
levy from $4,000 to $4,000 in order to
cover their action in defeating the ordin-
ance. This shows their opinion of the
advisability of providing for the payment
of the bonds, It is all right Mr.. Alder
man, no one cares how you do it, SO it be
done. liz iswell enough, for the sake of
showing the party how easy matter it is
to whip in mayor, to defeat anything Mr..
Lundy introduces just because he is a

wants done, SO it be done in the end. The
council has provided for the first year rs in

average alderman to issue the bonds and
kpass an ordinance similar to the one they
have just defeated to provide for paying
their bonds as the law directs. If moi

at once that there will be'a question as tc

The Whisky Thieves.

The application of John A. Joyce Of
whisky ring notoriety, through writ Of
habeas corpus, for release from further cou-
fnement in the penitentiary, has been
granted by Judge Krekel of the United
States district court. A number of i'm
portant legal points are involved in the
case, notably those of cumulative sentences
and of the power Of courts to review for
mer judgements Of their own rendering.
An appeal was taken by the district at
torney to the United States supreme
court and the petitioner, Joyce, gave
bonds in the ridiculously small sum of one
thousand dollars to answer further orders.
Indictments upon which he has not yet
been tried are pending against Joyce, and
if he is as smart as he is claimed to be, he
will Jump the BALI and leave for parts
unknown.

Shutting off Water.

els very fast, and plays his game with
swift expedition, and has so far managed
to keep we'll ahead of his various eastern
victims. He keeps several hundred miles
between them and himself, and can never
beifound where he was last heard from.
He represents himself as a travelling sales
man for substantial houses, and operates
by means of loans and drafts. He is very
successful in getting the needfuf cash and
passing on uumolested to the next point
on his route. He struck the Fahnestock
White Lead company of Pittsburg for
about thousand dollars, and the iewelry
house of Allen & Co, of New York for
two thousand. During the strike he was
in Chicago and made raise. He was
heard from travelling with another man s
wife of two weeks standing, whom he
coaxed away from home to share his un.
certain fortunes. In Omaha he swindled
a railroad official out of five hundred dol.
lars. and a milliner of that city wants tc

A touching appeal to the Greenbaeker
to return to the Democratic fold is made
by the party press in Ohio. The wan
derer after softer and more abundant
currency is told. and with entire truth, that
he can find anything he wants in the DEM
ocratie platform; but he is not told, and
hence the appeal will be in vain, that he
will have some of the Offices and pap if he
will come back. Your true Greenbacker
does not wish to be swallowed up in the
ranks. He must bloom in the fore
front, and produce the loudest part of the
racket Unioa.
We understand there are not few Re-
publicans, especially among the laboring
men of this city and county, who have a
strong prediction for the Greenback, 1t
is even reported that meeting of working
men viii shortly be held to take the mat
ter under consideration, and to take some
action as laboring men to express their
views upon the greenback issue.
The above remarks of the Union are
commended to their careful attention.
The question which naturally suggests
itself upon reading the sneer which is thus
publicly thrown in the faces of all green
hackers is whether there is not something
better and more reliable than being al
ways tied to mere party name. Ii man
is an honest Greenbacker, who has
hitherto acted with the Republican party,
and he finds the organ of that party
pointedly repudiating the actions Of those
who believe in greenbacks, he has good
reason to think the Republican party may
be equally his political enemy in some
some other matters. In other words there
is no sanctity in party. 1t is about time
for the people to begin to recur once more
to the principles of earlier and better
days. Principles and not men was the
motto Of the fathers. In looking about
for modes of relief, and for the restoration
of a healthier financial condition, and bet
ter rewards for labor, voters would be large
ly the gamers to make the inquiry not as
to what party the person belonged to,
but is he honest, capable and will he be
faithful?
There was time when the officers of the
public service were considered and held
ameudabIe for their acts to the judgment
of the people, but now the situation is
almost wholly reversed, and men who hold
public positions and offices Of honor and
trust seem to dictate opinions and deter
mine financial and public polity as if all
the people were needed for, was, to
merely follow blindly the say SO of the
would be leaders. They talk and act as il
the people existed merely for the sake Of
supporting Office holders instead of Offices
being created for the benefit ofthe people
If the people would look little closer to
their own interests, and give the leaders q
few lessons Of independent action. eyer
little party organs like the Union,woulG
soon appreciate the situation, and sneel
less at the action of the hard working in
ldustrial classes.
