IF the Union was worth fighting for il is
worth paying for.
The Colorado Victory.

TIA Colorado election is of no little imp or.
tance on several accounts. Regarded even
from the narrowest party standpoint it is
considerable triumph for the Republicans, for
it gives them Congressman, secures Sem
tor, and makes certain that the vote of the
State will be cast for the Republican candidate
if the next Presidential election should be
thrown into the House.
But the election results in greater good
than this. 1t teaches politicians that they
will not find it safe to disregard the will of
the people or reverse its declared expression.
At the last Congressional election of Is 76
the Republican candidate had nearly a thous-
and majority over his competitor. But the
Democrats in the House fancied it necessary
to add one to their number, and so, on the
weakest of technicalities Mr.. Belford, who
was elected, was deprived of his seat and Mr..
Patterson, the defeated candidate, put in his
place. The people of Colorado have just had
the opportunity to express their opinion of
the outrage-and that expression is one Of
emphatic disapproval. Mr.. Belford's majority
is nearly treble that he had in 1876, and the
Republicans have secured two-thirds of the
Legislature. If the result teaches the Demo-
cratic House justice and decency it is worth a
great deal more than party triumph.
Another good thing about the Colorado
election is the small Greenback vote. Not
| more than six hundred Greenback ballots
were thrown in the whole State. Evidently
the fiat-money lunacy has not found many
victims there. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that it will show no greater relative strength
in other portions of the West.

THE situation is put in this clear way by
the Cleveland Herald: If you wanted to
know whether grain was scarce you would go
to the milers and grain-dealers; if you
wanted to know whether coal was scarce you
would go to the coal merchants. Now. if
you want to know whether money is scarce,
go to the banks-they deal in money. They
will tell you that there are millions of unem-
poyed currency in the country and that
many banks are retiring their circulation be-
cause there is no profitable use for it. They
will tell you, too, that it is not more money
that is needed, but more business to employ
the money already in existence.

The International Peace Congress was a
funny affair. The members called each other
bad names and came near to fighting Only
their principles, and the president, prevented
them. Mr.. Bratiano, representative of the
peace-loving Kingdom of Roumania, was one
of the leading members of the Congress.

WHEN Greenbacks were first issued, prices
of all the necessaries of life went up sooner

Should the Greenbackers succeed in obtain

THE New York Democrats seem to know
and appreciate each other very thoroughly.
At the Syracuse convention the Tildenites
temporarily seeded in order to pass resolu-
tion denouncing the rest of the convention as
gang of thieves. And now the New York
Express, the Tammany organ, says Tilden's
friends are trying to buy up two or three
members OF the state committee in order to
centrol the machine, and adds that men who
'club together to steal a convention are equal
to almost anything, from robbing hen roost
to bribing legislator" The only point where
all these statesmen agree is in denouncing
"fraud" in the Republican party.

THE Lord Chancellor of England has Just
been created Earl Cairns aud Viscount Gar
moyle. He is not yet sixty years old. The
younger son of country gentleman in the
north of IRELAND, he began by sweeping up
the principal prizes and honors in the Univer-
sty OF Dublin; after which he became bar
rister in London, in which capacity he soon
obtained enormous practice, was made Judge
of Appeal in his 47th year, and, on Mr.. Dis
raeli's becoming Premier, was made Lord
Chancellor, and created Baron Cairns. He
has acquired so large fortune at the bar,
chiefly invested in landed estates in England,
that he can fully Sustain the dignity of an
Earldom. He is the third Chancellor during
the present century raised to that rank, the
previous cases being John Scott, made Earl
of Eldon, in 1921, and G. G. Pepys, made Earl
of Cottenham, in June, 1850, nineteen days
before resigning Office. Lord Cairns is the
only Irishman that ever was made Lord
Chancellor.

SWORN IN.

For long time Thomas Hedricks has
been hankering to wear the "bright particu>
lar star" that adorns the left lapel of the
coats of the city policemen, and, on satur.
day, when Thomas saw that two special
policemen had been appointed to patrol the
Brandywine, his indignation knew 10
bounds at being out in the cold So he
filed his hide full of Front street "stagger
juice" and about midnight ambled into
the police station and began to curse the
Mayor, the Chief, the Sergeants, and in fact
the whole lot of our city guardians in true
"army in Flanders" style. An effort was
made to quiet Tommysoutraged feelings, but
he would not be comforted, and at last he
became so demonstrative that he was locked
up in cell. Yesterday morning he had to
pay $40 and costs for this little bit OF
amusement, ard still languishes in durance
vile, not being able to raise the required
amount of cost.

THE DUTY OF THE DEMOCRACY


A full list of the Judges to hold the
nomination election appears to-day in the
HERALD. These gentlemen must bear in
mind thata very responsible duty is cast
upon them one which demands, care in
performing. /
Under the rules of the Democracy o.
this county, the Judges holding an cleo
ton are required to take the vote OF
"every white male citizen, who will b.
entitled to vote at the ensuing genera
election, provided that it be distinctly unl
dsrstood whetheflb by questiop Of otherwis
that such citizen will support the success
full candidate"
The true Interpretation of the rule, is
very plain; and if enforced will save q
great deal of trouble, possibly contes
with all its heartburnings; it means tba
no one is entitled to vote at the nomina.
ton election unless he is qualified voter
regularly upon the assessment. Such as
are not qualified no matter how good
Democrats they may be, cannot vote at the
nomination election under the rule quoted
Citizens who have not heretofore voted
with the Democracy, upon pledging them
selves to vote for the successful nominee
are entitled to vo at the nomination elec.
tion.
Two years ago deep dissatisfaction ex-
listed among many Democrats, because of
the belief that Mr.. O'Nell had been cheated
out of the nomination-tha feeling very
nearly lost US the city. We should take
warning and above all things have fair,
square, honest election-if not it will Ger :
tainly be productive of trouble; may lead
to contest, and no one knows what may
follow. The prominent candidates named
for Sheriff are all good men, and if fairly
nominated will command the united suf-
frage of the party.
A great responsibility rests upon the
Judges of the election, and from theif
known character for justice we are con-
scious all will be we'll. 1t must be borne
in mind, that whenever rumors, just or
unjust, are floating around, greater care
and impartiality must be taken than other.

foul play ia connection with the death Of
VIM. B. Davis, who was found drowned last
Thursday morning at Fourth street wharf
the body was examined yesterday morning by

was found to support these suspicious, ex
cept slight bruise upon the right parietal
bone just above-the ear, which could moi
possibly be serious, and was evidently caused
by striking the head against some object.
The funeral OF Mr.. Davis took place yes,
