lovely RrpEccA, and n Is o matter OF history
that BRIouAN YouSe has looked seventeen
mo,hcrs-in.lAw in the face, and did n as
easy as a magician can toss four halls and
keep them in motion with one hand. But
these are exceptions 10 the general rule, and
Tor this reason we here and now take posi-
tive stand for mothers iu-iaw and reform.
They must have some defender-some one
who dare face the fierce s.orm
OF vituperation which comes from
the press and the tongue OF the social
gossip. Mothers-in-law must be shielded, and
they who champion their cause will live as
chiyslrous knights in coming history. In
other words, the mother-in-lsv stocks are
coming up. They never have been at par, but
they will soon be worth at least ten cents on
q dollar. Il Is q big speculation, this defense
OF the mothers-in-lsv, and the only trouble
now Is the bulls and bears Of married life may
attempt to make . corner In the market.
Hereafter the husband who eau not look his
nother-in-law straight in the eye and say 81
have done my whole duty by your daughter"
will be friendless. wretched and forlorn. So
cieiy will ignore him, responsibility will de-
spise him, and on the whole, or off the whole,
for that matter, he will be an ou,cast, and the
small boys In the street will call him the
mesnest man on earth. Mothers-in-law to
the 'front.' Right abou. facet Hay-foot

COLIN. IN carrying out the mission OF the
Republican party, struck the sbackles
from four million slaves and made them
freemep. the Northern Democracy stormed
with rage. and called him an imbecile and
traitor to the Constitution. Iu 1861 they
met in Chicsgo and declared the war to be
failure, ard openly announced that they
would lay every possible obstacle in the
way Of Its farther prosecution. Aner the
confiic, had ended. and the battle flags
were furled, they violently opposed all
measures OF reconstruction. They fought
with bitter desperation the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments 10 the
Constitution. They have been op.
posed to everything ipsusuraied by the
Republican party for the advancement and
progress Of the nation, and now we find
them in their same old mood, sulkily op-
posing the reconciliation policy of Presi.
dent HAYES. Bat In this base measure the
Northern Democracy Is struggling alone.
The Southern men and Northern patriots
are in profound sympathy with the new
order Of things. and the confidence the
people have in the President will remain
unshakeu, FIRE as many and as poisonous
shots as they may.
THIS action. however. on the part Of the
doughfaces places them In an unenviable
light before the civilized world. In fight
ing President HAYES they demonstrate the
fact that they have been knaves and hypo-
critics fo- the past ten years. during which
they pretended to favor a similar policy 10
that which Is at present being carried into
effect. But this opposition Is the best
thing that could happen to the country.
1t will result in HAYES Repuhlicinism
sweeping the country at the next Presi.

CONSTANT READER OF TIE RRPuBLicAS.
There sre one or two points In the above
which will attract the attention of every can
did man. Our fair correspondent speaks of
the mother who bore the husband, while we
were speaking Of the mothers in-iaw who bore
the husbands Of their daughters. But the
point she makes Is that the husband should 90
treat his wife that he can look his mother-iu-
law in the face and say, 81 have done my duty
by your daughter" We agree with our cor.
respondent that husband ought to be able to
look his mother .in-law square In the face and
say that very thing. It would show an hon.
est disposition, provided he told the truth
But there Is the rub. Husbands are not In
clined always to tell the whole truth to moth
ers-in Law. In all probability, more white lies
pass between the average husband and the
medal standard OF notherin-iaw than
through any other conduit, and this
Is what makes our correspondents
suggestion so novel, and, We may say, impor-
tsnt. There is great need Of reform In this
sphere Of domesticity. Men for the past
three centuries have been growing cold and
distant toward the mothers Of those whom
they have taken to their bosoms for better or
for worse. II was not always thus. In ye

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
There are two sides to every question,
end one story II good until another Is told.
The Board Of Metropolitan Police Com.
missionen told their story In the pamphlet
which they issued last week, and which
they called report Of the investigation Of
certain charges against certain police off,
GERS. On Saturday We published reply,
written BY Mr.. JOHN A. GRow, in which
he briefly shown the falsity. weakness and
malice ofthe report Of the board. Men do
not generally act without motives, and the
question has been repeatedly asked. What
motive could Mr.. GROW or any one else
have had to prove that Msjor RICHARDS
and his detectives were not fulfilling their
whole duty to the publicf And they have
failed 10 nnd . wrong motive. When The
REPUBLICAN commenced its warfare upon
the gambling hells 1t had 9 motive, and
that was to close them up. 1t succeeded,
and thousands Of people to-day bless II for
doing 50. The factthat Major RICHARDS and
his detectives had winked at this great
evil came outas an incident, and then il
was that Mr.. GRow was employed to rep
resent the people and to aid in the sup
preston Of the iniquity.
The idea Of charging him or any one else
with conspiracy to injure the police OH
ciAls Is preposterous. They injured them
selves. They were their own worst enc
miea The intimation Of suborning wit
nesses cannot apply to the parties who en-.
gagged In the effort to suppress gambling.
The motive TO suborn was all with the de-
tectives, and ninety mine one -hundredths
Of this community 20 regard il.
We contend, therefore, that TO the mind
Of the unprejudiced thinker, Mr.. GRow's
card II unanswersble, and Il proves that
the Commissioners Of Police have placed
themselves In q most disgraceful position
before the public. All that was asked of
them was that they should give the accused
officers fair trial. What was meant BY
that was an open trial. No star-chamber
proceeding. but q trial where witnesses
could be examined and cross examined.
And then the truth would have been
ELECTED, and the people would have been
satisfied. But instead OF pursuing that
open. honorable course. they constitute
themselves judges and jurors all In one,
and ask the people 70 accept their judg-
ment and verdict. 1t is not accepted.
The whitewsshing report has confirmed
the belief In the guilt Of the officers
charged, while II has established the TACT
that the board Is faithless.

the first law OF nature, Is the same with
nations as 1t Is with individu is, and for
this reason England is anxious to avert the
war which must necessarily force the Mo-
hammsdan power south Of the Bosphorus,
and possibly back into Turkistan. This
being the case, Eagland could be easily
satisfied All that would be necessary
would be an understanding between the
Gar and the British Government. that
when Russia has conquered Turkey
she shall give to Eaglsnd sufficient
Indemnity for her Turkish bonds either in
money or by ceding 10 her a valusble slice
Of the Ottoman country. This would sat-
isfy England. but would II satisfy Austria
and Germanyf Is it to be supposed thN
while England and Russia are dividing
these rich spoils Of war that Austria aad
Germany. with their well.known desires
for few Southern seiports, will stand
psssively by and submit to this aggran-
dirementt For this reason II Is clearly evi-
dent that the neutrality which Is tscitly
promised by these Powers in case Of war
viii be quite impossible. Thus II will be
seen that il Ia not the sympathy which the
Great Powers have for the infidel Mussul-
man that has so interested them In avert
ing the impending conflict but proprietary
and Pecunisry interests which so pro-
foundly moves them to mediation. Itis
evident that Europe Ia anxious to be nd Of
Turkish rule, bot ct the same time, the
different Powers are fearful that in securing
riddance Of this bad rubbish they may all
become involved in the struggle, and be-
fore il Is ended may be found fighting each
other for the supremacy.
