THE Poor Peoples Excursion down the
Potomac is designed to become permanent
feature of our District charities. The ice
has been broken-a good hot-weather SIM
ile-and the way to get up trips Of this
kind and manage them successfully has
been pointed out. Let some Of our churches
follow the example of the Franklin Legion
and show that all the benevolence of the
city is not confined to the temperance peo-
pie. The cost is trihing, and the compensa-
ton in the assurance that five or six hun
dred heated human bodies and worried
human souls are thereby furnished with a
brief respite from the cares and discomforts
of life in the city during this weather is
more than sufficient to make up for it.

HARD ON THE LIQUOR DEALERS
New York's Civil Damage Law Declared COM
stituti0nal.

The recent decision of the court oil
appeals as to the constitutionality oil
the civil damage law is favorable to
the law in case arising under its
most extreme provisions A father
in Middletown, New York, sued a
landlord for the value of a horse
driven to death by a person who OBJ,
taiDed liquor on the defendants prem.
ises, but not from the defendant. The
lower courts gave judgment for the
full amount claimed. The court of
appeals has just affirmed this decision.
1t is almost impossible to put limit
to the operation of the law under this
delusion which makes the owners OF
real estate occupied by retail liquor
dealers liable to very extended and
complicated responsibility. If the
penalties of the law had been confined
to the liquor dealers themselves, the
justice of it would be instantly recog-
nized but the security of plaintiffs
would nave been somewhat circum-
scribed. Now that, under the recent
decision, it is possible to include the
owners OF the premises in the suit, the
justice of the act becomes, to say the
least, more remote, but the likelihood
of its checking the sale of liquor is in.
definitely increased. As liability un-
der the law accrUes principally from
the sale to men who have already OBJ
vlously had more than is good for
them,it would seem that decent liquor
sellers could observe it without hard
ship.-N. Y. Times.

AS It Should Be.

A year ago the Tribune suggested
to the Assemblymen elect that they
could do nothing that would contrib
ute more to the efficiency of the AS.
semblv than to elect w. E. Carter,
of Plattevlle its Speaker; and, at the
same time time, knowing we'll the
ability and energy of him of whom we
spoke, we stated that he would g Ell
Their be Speaker or leader of the
House. Owing to the combination
of Democrats and Greenbackers he
did not become Speaker, but, as we
predicted, he became leader.
The indications are now that the
Republicans are In the ascendency in
the Assembly, to the effect that Mr..
Carter will be its next Speaker.
We hope he may. Aswe view Il,
it will be healthful sign-an indica-
ton that the Republican patty confers
honor upon those who merit it, rather
than upon those who, being destitute
of ability and commendable virtues,
attain its gifts by barter and intrigue.

ers in full this week. After express
sions of gratitude TO the Divine Be-

as follows:
The yellow fever epidemic is be-.
lieved to have attacked 100000 peo-
pie and took to death 10000. The
Government aided the sufferers by
furnishing 1900 tents and SIS 600
worth Of rations. The President
recommends that Congress provide
new sanitary laws.
The South is the subject next con-
sidered. The President shows plain.
~ that the Southern people have dis
appointed him. He appears to have
thought the people down there
would let Republicans vote undis-
turbed as in the North. Maybe we
ought to love him for his simplicity,
but that is just the part of him we
never did like. He is very anxious
now TO punish the Southern depre.
dators upon free suffrage, but he is
below the Falls. The Southrons

The Copenhagen Aftenb1ad relates
that o family we'll known in Copen-
hagen bad long been 10 the habit of
passing their Sundays in one of the
parks near the city, taking with
them son years old. A few Sum-
days ago the little fellow unnoticed
by the parents. discovered an unus-
ually large toad, and amused himself
by torturing it in various ways, final
ly plunging . sharp stick through its
body and thus pinning it to the
ground. The next Sunday the fam.
lily again visited the park and the
boy remembering his sport of the
previous week went in search of
more toads. He found the auimaI he
had so cruelty used still pinned to
the ground and still alive. As be ap.
preached the poor thing looked at
him its immense eyes distanded with
pain and suffering. The child was
terror stricken at the sight, and ran
crying to his mother to tell her what
he had done. He was taken home 10
a great state of excitement and put
to bed where he remained three
days 10 burning fever which ended
in bis death. Just before he died he
declared that wherever he looked he
saw the pleading eyes of the poor
toad and begged to have it taken
away.

on the President because of what he
had to say on interference with the

not take with the Southern mem-
bers as he supposed it would. Some
of them called him fool and an ass

MRS. SENATOR BRUCE.
Washington Society Agitated Concerning Her
Expected Debut
Correspondence ofihe Inter Ocean.


Washington, Nov. is 80 Senator
Bruce. who has been travelling in
Europe with bis bride since his mar
riage in June, is expected to arrive
here soon, and has engaged hand
some residence on Capitol Hill for
the remainder of his Senatorial term
which expires on the 4th of March,
1881. There is some social agitation
here with regard TO the manner in
which Mrs. Bruce will be received
by the swells of Washington. She
is lady of fine personal appearance,
an octoroon, and is perhaps better
educated than most Of the women
who intend to snnb Der. if she pre-
sumes to enter society. She was q
school teacher in Cleveland, but her
huehand has sufficient wealth TO
crafty any taste she may have in
the way of personal adornment, and
it Is whispered that a wardrobe pur-
chased by her in Europe would be
priced by any of our bellies. It'll
requirement of official etiquette here
that all the Cabinet ladies, and the
wives of Congressman, Shall make
the first call upon Senator's wife,
and the wives of The other Senators
always make the approach to all
acquaintance with the wives of new
Senators. Mrs. Bruce will exper-
fence no embarrassment from the
treatment she will receive
from Mrs. Evarts, Mrs. Sherman,
and the other cabinet ladies. and Mrs.
Hayes, whose gentility is beyond
question, intends to make Mrs. Bruce
at home at once by her cordial greet
ing. 1t is said that Mrs. Bruce will
be invited to attend Mrs. Hayes at
the first Presidential reception. The
only colored Senator's wife who ever
attempted an entrance to Washington
society was Mrs. Pinchback, six years
ago, and, being both beautiful and
accomplished, she was not only treat
ed with civility but was made quite
lioness. 1t may be that Mrs. Bruce
will receive similar treatment.
1t will te noticed that there will be
no negroes in the next Congress un-
less O'Hara, of North Carolina, gets a
certificate, which is doubtful. There
were seven colored candidates for
Congress, each in a district where
their race was overwhelmingly in the
majority, and where each, by fair
and free vote, would have been elect.
ed by a majority greater than the
opposition, bnt not one of them, ex-
cept O'Hara, ever hoped for success,
so confident were they of the methods
of their white opponents. There is
colored voting population in the South
of over halt million, but in the For
ty-sixth Congress it will be entirely
unrepresented, except by Bruce in the
Senate. In the Forty-second Con-
gress there were nine negroes in the
Forty-third, seven IN the Forty
fourth, four ; in the Forty-tifth, three;
in the Forty sixth there will be none.
Hereafter the only use of the Fifteenth
amendment will be to give the South
additional members of Congress and
increase the electoral vote of its
States. CURTIS.

THn HERALD article last wee

THD HERALD article last week has
brought us responses from three
prominent men of the State, heart Y
approving the position taken.
Though Gov. FairchiId is not he
first choice of all, they would heart
lily rejoice at his election. As fer
Reyes, they are ashamed for tie
great State of Wisconsin that he
should even DO mentioned for the ex.
allied place of Senator. While thee
gentlemen use stronger language
than we against Reyes and Csrpen-
ter, and are men whose influence in
the politics of the State Is great and
of lcug standing, still they pledge Us
TO the strictest cor fidence against the
use OF their names. If we were in
their places we would probably do
as they do. There is no pleasure in
stirring up the resentment OF pot
house politicians. And we know by
experience in this county that the
great ma ority of the Republicans Of
Wisconsin do not want the party
nor the State to give away its most
dignitied Office to fellow of low in
stinc.s. There are thousands Of
Wisconsin Republicans waiting at
the party door to see whether it will
continue to put in prominent posi-.
tions its unworthy and corrupt men.
When they found Rublee guiding
the party of the State many outside
stepped in again. His name is a
sign of better things, But if his
splendid labors aud the bard work
by which the honest members of the
party have saved the State in the
most uncertain years is to be re-
warded by giving che highest offices
to such political jades as we are here
writing of, our hands will go up in
despair.
In this county We knolo that a Keyes
man or Carpenter man, pronounced as
such, could not have been elected 20
the Legislature. We quietly expires
sed our confidence to scores of Re.
publicans, threatening to leave, that
tho party was coming right again and
begged them TO try once more. They
are men who vote but, like our three
correspondents, avoid the mouthings
of the rough-scuff of the party. They
declared they were as heartily Repub-
licans as ever they were, but would
never again vote for man they knew
TO be of the Keyes stripe. 1t was
this kind of work-not onrs alone; we
make no such boast--that saved Grant
county, that sends three Republican
Assemblymen to the next Legislature.
We do not want the Republicans TO
lose Grant county, nor the state.
Both will be lost if the feelings OF the
very best Republicans are any more
tempered with.
