makes little difference. There have been
two recent attempts on the life of the En-
peror Of Germany, and although both Of the
intending assassins are Of German birth
and education, it is none the less true that
they are inspired by the ideas OF the French
Commune. 1t is all the same to Americans
whether the wild ideas of the Commune
come to them directly from France or cir
cautiously through other nations of Cont
mental Europe. Although Citizen Schwab
is German his ideas are those of the
French Communists, and it makes
no difference to us whether this
bad importation from France is direct or
circuitous. In whatever way it comes it is
detestable. In ordinary circumstances
Communistic ideas could take no root in
American soil, but We happen just now to
be in an abnorma, condition. We have a
vast number Of laborers out Of employment;
and hungry men with starving families
listen with greedy ears to every wild theory
which gives promise Of relief. When the
business Of the country revives, as
we believe it soon will, the rawlings
of the Communists cannot find an
audience; but for the present they
are dangerous. The experience OF
last summer makes the community uneasy
lest the terrible riots which eliminated at
Pittsburg should be renewed this summer
and blaze ont in our chief cities. We are
ready to take anything from France by way
of importation except her Communist ideas.
Our country is at present in critical con-
dition by the great number of its unem-
ployed laborers. Such state Of things
affords easy entrance to Communistic scnti-
ments imported from their hotbed in
Paris. We warn tho Communists that
if they attempt bloody demonstration the
average American sentiment is so much
against them that they will be promptly
put down, and that 1t is sheer insanity for
them to provoke scenes in which they will
be the chief sufferers. We are willing to
receive anything from France except its
Communism; but if that should undertake
to assert itself by its usual methods OF
blood and assassination we warn it that,
in this country, it will be brought to a
prompt and stern reckoning.

California yesterday elected delegates to
a convention to revise the State constitu-
ton, as ordered by the popular vote in the
last State election. In the struggle for the
control Of the Convention the old parties
were hopelessly broken to pieces through
the strength Of the workingmen's movement,
which made such Roadway in San Francisco
as to alarm the capitalists and occasion the
nomination Of what is known as tho
non-partisan or peoples ticket. Tho
workingmen's party in San Fran
cisco il under the lead Of man
named Dennis Kearney, and hence its
members have received the name Of
Kearneyites. Between the upper and
neither mill stones Of workingpen and nom
partisans the democrats and republicans in
the State seem to have been ground TO pow
der. In the City of San Francisco tho two
old straight" organizations obtained only
seven thousand votes between them out of
poll of over twcnty-seven thousand,
while the Kearneyites received eleven
thousand, and the non-partisans be-
tween eight and nine thousand. The
HKnAID's special correspondent indicates
that the workingmen, who thus elect large
majority OF their delegates in San Francisco,
have carried the State az well and will con-
troll the Convention. Another report, how
ever. intimates that the non-partisans will

Dempsey's refusal to row Courtney yes
terday, Notwithstanding the referees direc-
tons, has resulted in preventing any de-
cision as to who won the race The money
was withdrawn, and the race is practically
tended. Because q cowardly outrage was
perpetIated on Courtney it in no way fol-
lows that Dempsey instigated it, how
ever he may have liked the result
To throw the best oarsman Of the country
into the intensely cold waters of Seneca
Lake, at time when he was overheated and
in profuse perspiration, was calculated to
cripple his usefulness, ifnot entirclyto put
an end to his brilliant career at the oar, al
though we are glad 10 learn that no such
serious result is yet feared. But one thing
Geneva should do forthwith, both for her
own name and for the cause Of fair play.
She should spare no pains to ferret out and
properly punish whoever set this cruel
death trap and whoever worked it just at
the critical moment. If this sort of thing is
be encountered by any man who has justly
earned front place among oarsmen this
manly sport will soon fall into disrepute.
So far as Dempsey is concerned it must be
said that his course does not bring him one
particle of credit. The manly way for him
would have been and yet would be to say
to Courtney, ''Some enc has wronged you,
which l keenly regret, now let us try it
over" This would at once have commended
itself to all fair-minded men, and whatever
the result of the race would have won him
public esteem and leave him in an infinitely
better light than that in which he now
stands 1t is not yet too late to correct his

more, has very strong loins, longer reach
and is much older than his little rival. But
Hanlan knows how to row and Morris does
not scarcely better, for instance, than does
Plaisted. Abundant careful coaching by
such a man as Hanlan himself, or
by Captain Cook, would have resulted
in q much closer and better con.
tested race than yesterdays 1t is about
time for men who only half know how ia
row. unless they have tremendous strength
and endurance like the colored "Frenchy"
Johnson, or the tireless little Shoe-wae-cae-
mettes, to keep away from masters of the
art like Hanlan and Courtney, Higgins and
Trickett
1t is well known that Hanlan has pur
posely deferred meeting Courtney until
later in the season, as, whichever way race
now would result, would seriously interfere
with his making other matches I; for if he
won other oarsmen would fear to row him.
and if he lost then his hackers would no
longer back him. But now that he has
Plaisted and Morris disposed OF, and is very
sure of Ross, it cannot be long until the great
fight comes with Courtney, and then there
will be racing, not as yesterday, only for
the first quarter of mile, but oil
over the track, and hard pounding all the
way, though it hardly seems possible that
twenty-eight of Hanlan's strokes to the
minute can take him along as fast as
twenty-eight of Courtney's longer ones.
But it, after all, Courtney should be beaten,
one thing may as we'll now be noted, and
that is, that when year later he comes ur
to try again, he will be found throwing his
head on far better at the end of the stroke
than he does now, and it will do him SO
much good that he will keenly regret that
he did not learn the habit year earlier.

Lincoln and the love affairs Of John Wilkes
Booth. One Of them, to the effect that Booth
aud Robert Lincoln were in love with tho
daughter Of the late Senator Hale, Of Now

was the motive OF assassination, fades away be-
fore the cold denial Of Mr.. Lincoln; 40 that il was
not love that did the unfortunate business. Mr..

So far be has found the members and sen

The sasurnalia OF Fraud.--A Year Of
National Shame.

The SaturnaHa OF Eraud.--A Year OF
National Shame.
The year which has Just closed is alto
gether the most disgraceful in American
annals, if disgrace is to be measured by
the exposure rather than by the perpetra-
ton of stupendous breaches of trust. Ii
the year 1877 has any competitor for this
bad preeminence 1t is the year 1871, when
the monstrous robberies of the Tweed ring
were dragged forth into publicity and the
rascalities of the infamous Credit Mobilier
were fastened by proofs upon their authors
and accomplices. But IN thoee instances
the villsiny was not 50 widely diffused.
There was one great focus of corruption in
this city, another great focus of corruption
at Washington, but the faint and rotten
ness had not spread into every walk eff
business and every kind of private and
sen4i-pubhc transaction. But at present
the whole atmosphere seems reeking with
foulness. Every description of fraud AID
embezzlement is repeated in every part Of
the country until their accumulated magni-
tude seems like Pelion piled upon Ossa in
the ancient fiction. It is difficult to say
whether frauds have attained a ranker
growth In New York, or in Philadelphia,
or in Boston, or in Chicago, or in San Fran
cisco, or in some Ct the smaller towns. In
proportion to population and opportunities
there would seem to be little difference
There is no conceivable variety of swindline
which has not been practised, but the most
execrable of all is the widespread violations
of sacred trusts by institutions and mer

ing to the unprotected and the helpless
There are degrees in the turpitude of theft
and none is so base as that which take:
bread from the mouth Of the widow anG
the orphan, as so many false guardians anC
rotten savings banks and life insurance
companies have done. IN Y Herald.
