THE DREADED TARANTULA.

The following story is from a Sacramento
journal: "A party of sacramentans re-
turned home last evening from a trip to
the mountains, bringing with them two
deer-skins, one wildcat skin, and q few
other trophies. including two tarantulas-
dead ones. They had n little incident at
tending the transportation of these speci-
mems which ~ocoasioned considerable alarm.

were returning home. The tarantuias, for
lack of n better receptacle, were inclosed
in a cigar-box when caught, about ten days
preyious, aud this box, carefully tied up,

occupying it found Observation-Disclosures

The Death of John Morris.ey.

JOHN MoRRTssEY lied in Saratoga yester-
day Tho facts Of his career are recorded at
length in another part Of to-day's SUN; and
all those who knew him we'll must agree with
us that the world could better have spared
many n better man.
Considering the circumstances, the In
ilucnccs, and the associations amid which
JONI MoRRIssEY was born, was reared and
lived; and considering how he came out,
he must certainly be pronounced one
of the most remarkable characters of
this generation. First. a prize fighter.
and then professional gambler, he
was repeatedly n member OF Congress,
and at the last election In New York
he was chosen for the second time to
he member of the State Senate; and this
distinction was conferred upon him in the
wcalthicst and best instructed district Of
this city, where he ran IA an independent
candidate against n respectable gentleman
OF Tammany Hall and in this contest he was
supported by conservative and religious
men, and counted among his Jealous advo-
Gates the Mem York Times, the first and
ablcst journal of the Republican party; and,
what is OF most Importance, he deserved
this support and this advocacy.
In the year 1864, when Mr.. MoRRIssEY
was n Democratic member OF the House
of Representatives at Washington, Ros-
coz CoSKLING, then leader OF the
Republican party in the House. said to
US one day that there was no man In
the House whose record as member was
more worthy of respect than that Of john
MoRRIssEY. His word. said Mr.. CoNKLINo,
could always be relied upon; he was above
every trick, and was never engaged in any
job or any scheme either against the public
Treasury or against the interests Of good
legislation This record has been repeated
by MIR. MoRRfssEY in the Legislature OF
New York. Thus in every public Office that
he has filled he has been an honest and
true man. We bid him farewell with sincere
regret. Would that there were more honest
and true men in every Legislative body
and in every executive department OF the
country

Too Much Law Making.

As the people become more intelligent,
there is more general and keencr appreci-
alton Of the cost and Inconvenience arising
from an excess OF legislation. A great ma
jority Of the acts that pass our Legislature
are entirely unnecessary and uncallcd for
1t costs good deal to enact n law. The ex-
penses u the Legislature are heavy. Then.
nobody knows what an act means until IL
has been judicially construed. Frequently
law Is held by the courts to mean some
thing entirely different from what II appears
to mean To plain, common-scns view. All
this expense comes out Of the people, who re-
ceive no compensating benefit in return.
The chief apparent purpose Of our annual
sessions of the Legislature is the doubtful
distinction gained in them by active and am
bilious politicians.
Under these circumstances the PROPOSE
ton TO so amend our State Constitution as
70 have only biennial sessions Of the Legis-
lature will be regarded with considerable
favor. The greatest objection TO it arises
from the very principle il is designed Ia en-
fOrce-an indi-positon To change; n DISPOSE
tion TO let alone that which is not very bad.
j. e.. however, seldom that any legislation is
demanded in a hurry rs "a" real n"rr-aities
of i'e Iraplc. amt when such an emergency
oo us, the Governor can call an extra ses-
son. Il will be interesting to see what
csxr=c win be taken with reference to this
proposition.

The Duty of Democrats in Congress.

There are some Democrats in Congress
who perfectly understand that HAYES
reached the Presidency by fraud hut sccm
To- think their party will have better
chance Of success in the fall elections by
going to the people ON the casc rs il stands,
than by rcopcning it for further invcs'iga-
tion, and taking steps 10 turn HAYES out of
Office after it * finally proved that TILDEN
was duly chosen.
These Democrats make great mistake
They show lack Of that courage which the
masses of the people always admire. They
exhibit an incapacity to resent wrong such
as high-minlcd men must dcspsc. They
have no adequate conception of the
blackncss of the crime which is charged
upon HAYES and his fellow conspira-
tors. They fail TO comprehend the
force and bearing of the obvious truth that
1t dcvolvcs upon the Democrats. as the
aggrievcd party, to takc the lead in expos
ing and furnishing them II, on a fair inquiry,
they are found guilty.
Moreover on the lower ground Of nero
political cxpcdiency, these Democrats take
n short-sightcd view Of the situation In the
line OF policy they recommend to be- pur-
sued. Astutc Republicans will meet them
in the fall campaign with the declaration
that their party held complete control Of
the House. and could have carried through
any measure they pleased in regard to the
alleged frauds, provided all the Democrats
would vote for it. and that enough Rcpub-
leans in the Senate stood ready to join all
the Democrats in that body to secure the
same end. The Democrats would have to
admit the truth Of this statement. The Re-
publicans would then insist that the reason
why the Democrats in Congress did not
initiate proceedings for testing their allcga-
tions against HAYES, was that they dld not
dare to investigate the subject
This charge Of the Republicans might bc
untrue; but If the Democrats shrk plain
duty. it will bother them TO answer It. Po-
litical eXpcdiency, therefore, no less than
fundamental principle, demands that tho
Democrats in the present session of Con-
gross should lay bare and punish the great
crime Of our day.

and If in regular form, cannot be success
fully assalcd.
The opinion which Justice BRADLEY read
60 the Commission on this case was in direct
conflict with his vote, which Is said to have
been affected by outside pressure at the last
moment. and after the opinion had been pre-
pared in another state Of mind. No invcsti-
CATION will be complete which fails to bring
out the sinister influences that are alleged
to have operated on members Of the Com
mission.
All the counsel who appeared to sustain
the Florida fraud have been rewarded with
the highest honors. Mr.. EvARrs has the
Department Of State. Mr. McCRARY has the
Department Of War, Mr.. SrOUGHroN IL Min

Austria, Mr.. MATTHEWS is Senator from
Ohio and Mr.. SHELLABARGER is standing
counsel for the departments. They re-
ccivcd no actual fees from their employers,
but were subsequently paid by these Offices.
Nothing short Of n complete investigation
of this business and all It's surroundings,
will now satisfy the country or do justice to
the four and II quarter millions of voters
from whom the Presidency was stolen. Poll
ticians in their little schcming and narrow
outlook, who have hitherto stood In the way
and opposed inquiry, now see their mistake,
since they find their constituents demand
ing the fullest exposure OF the Fraud and
the just punish mcnt of its authors and
bcnelciarips

The old and wealthy city Of Providence, Il.
L. is acitatcd at present by II run upon savings
banks. The Mechanics Savings Bank and the
Providence Institution for Savings each hold
over six millions OF dollars. and against them
the run has been chiefly directed. II seems i'm
possible 90 remove tho impression that these
institutions are unsound and i'll managed. In
accordance with the usual custom of New
England savings banks. their deposits
are largely invested in mortgages. Indeed. the
high rate Of interest paid to depositors has
made II necessary for the banks 10 seek some
other investment than United States bonds and
other hiGh-cass securities bearing low interest.
Tho result is that the Mechanics Savings Bank
has not less than s5.0OD000 in mortgages tho

~ the facts connected with IL may be re-
called nstructiVcly now, when the truth has
been dragged To light. The counsel repre-
seutng the TILDrN electors offered oprove,
by the most incontestablc evidence. the
frauds that are confessed by MCLIN. DENNIS,

them. They had been proved before the
courts in Florida, and Nh FIELD proposed
TO prove them again:
These all nc'e. which we offer to make good by
evidence a. the Commission may prescribe by acoud ct

Mr.. KAssoN, who had served on the Rcpub-
llcan committee that visited Florida, was
chosen to answer this plain offer before the
Commission and he spoke thus:

The Legislature has been in session four
months. This Is longer period than any
previous session has lasted, with some half
dozen exceptions, since the adoption Of the
Constitution Of 1916. Early in the past win
ter leading Republicans in the Assembly
and the Senate pledged themselves that an
Apportionmcnt bill should bc introduced in
ample time for full discussion of the sub
ject, and of the Governors objections to the
bill II he should see fit to veto it.
These pledges have not been redeemed
The session draws to close. Tho unjust

Chairman Of the Senate Committee having
charge OF the matter. Whether those who
have conspircd to prevent an honest and
constitutional apportionmcnt of the State
intend to accomplish their purpose by dis
agreement between the two Houses, or by
passing their bill and throwing it on the
Governors table at the instant Of adjourn

guided by his judgment on full view of the
situation. We are confident that he will not
finch from doing what he regards as his
duty in respect to this important matter.
