murder. torture and the apathy of the au-
thorities are the materials mingled in this
remarkable story. That husband, ac-
companied by the relatives of his
wife, should, in Tennessee or elsewhere,
pursue and slay the man who had dishon-
ored him is not SO far out Of the range OF
ordinary human impulses as to bo remark
able in itself; and, supposing this man to
be a negro, it is conceivable that the state
of opinion in the South would readily in
cline the officers of the law to turn a deaf
ear to all reports on the subject. But the
GOODNESS with which in the story before us
the injured husband is represented as able
to suppress his fury during pending cleo
ton gives to the narrative spice of the in
credible which might seem to qualify it
rather for romantic fiction than for an every
day chronicle.

An Untumed Socialist.

If the German Parliament should vote
government wants it, inspired thereto by
disgust at the words Of the wild socialist
Hasselmann, it would not be ON event
likely to eclipse all strange things that
have hitherto happened in the world of
politics. An extreme partisan, who states
the case Of his party in way to fully sus-
tain all that the government has said of its
dangerous tendencies, whose threatenings
and denunciations call for blood and COM
bat and imply that if the government
is not enabled to lay powerful
hands on the socialists they will lay
powerful hands on the government and on
all that the government is organized to de-
fend-such man is the latest developed
opponent of the measure for the repression
of the social agitators in Germany. His ap-
pearance will excite reflection on the part of
all other opponents of that measure. Many
of them will be astonished to find them
selves in such company. All the liberals
who have stood III the way Of the govern
ment project out of devotion to liberty, but
who comprehend clearly enough that
liberty cannot exist apart from order, will
see more clearly in Hasselmann's words
than they saw before what they must con-
template as the alternative of the repression
to which they object. Undoubtedly this
orator against the government has strength
ened the governments case.

The Greenb back COLLAPSE.

The Western nationals were after all.
playing W hat they would call "buff game"
and scared the weak kneed democrats on a
very "thin hand" A comparison of their
positive published "claims" before the cleo
ton and the net result makes their move
ment ridiculous. The greenback national
organs claimed hundred thousand votes
in Indiana and three Congressman. They
cast in that State, where they are strongest,
only thirty thousand votes, and with the
help of the democrats, not by their
own votes, elected one Congressman.
They claimed one hundred thousand
votes in Ohio, and three Congress-
men, and they cast, as nearly as we
can tell from imperfect returns, less than
thirty thousand votes and elected no Con-
gressman. They claimed Congressman in
West Virginia, but elected none. Having
made combination with the democrats in
Iowa they claimed four Congressman, but,
with the help of democratic votes, managed
to elect only two, and it is clear that If they
had stood alone they would have got none.
That is to saw they had not in Ohio and
Indiana, the two States where they
have the greatest strength, third
of the vote they claimed, and if
it had not been for democratic help they
would not have elected a single Congress-
man anywhere. 1t is absurd for them to
talk any longer of great popular move
ment. The tide is setting fast against them,
and they have made their largest showing,
and that amounts to just three democratic
Representatives elected by the assistance OF
greenback votes. That is all, and 1t is a
prettu moor sanopd fddla.

Red emption or National Bank Notes.

Red emptton or National Bank Notes.
of the New York Clearing House and Secre-
tary Sherman, which we print to-day, is,
perhaps, of more interest to the banks than
to the public but still it is tor the general
interest that the national bank notes
should be promptly redeemed when they
get into circulation at distance from
the location Of the issuing banks. 1t
is the proper office of local
bank in issuing circulating notes to sup
ply currency for it's own neighborhood,
and it seems essential to a sound admins
tration Of the system that these local notes,
when used for making distant payments,
should be promptly sent home for redemp-
ton. There is no other sure guarantee
against excessive issues. Under the former
law the country banks were required
to make provision for redeeming their
notes at their own expense in the
chief commercial cities. In 1874 the
law was changed by requiring the banks
national Treasury equal to five per cent of
their circulation, and substituting redemp-
tion by the government for redemption in
the large cities. 1t has heretofore been the
practice under this law for the Treasury to
pay the cost Of transmitting the notes for
redemption, but Secretary Sherman has re-
Gently issued an order requiring this expense
to be paid by the banks which send on the
notes. The evident effect of this order will
be to continue the notes of the country
banks in circulation for long periods in
places distant from the point of issue. This
is against good policy. 1t is for the inter-
est of the country that the whole currency
should be sound and Of uniform value But
with anything like practical. efficient re-
demption the currency cannot be uniform if
possessor of Iowa bank notes in New York
cannot convert them into greenbacks or coin
without paying the cost of transmitting
them either to Dubuque or to Washington.
A country bank note is less valuable than
New York bank note by the cost of send
ing it for redemption, SO long as Secretary
Sherman does not rescind this new order
which seems to have been issued in the in
terest of the country banks to the detri-
ment of the general soundness of the cur
rency.

Play Day.

To-day there will be given, in the various
respectable places of amusement in New
York, nearly forty performances, before
audiences which will probably aggregate
more than fifty thousand people, and the
day is not an unusual Saturday either, nor
are the bills of the various theatres more
attractive than usual. The hearty support
given to the various entertainments alluded
to is as cheering sign in its way as the
revival of business, the failure of the green
back tickets, or the extension of rapid
transit facilities. Every person who works
in any way needs occasional diversion, and
this is particularly the case with the resi-
dents of large cities, where all business and
social activity is intense and constant.
Physical and mental wear and tear
are often SO severe that the man
or woman who has completed
day or week Of labor is too weary for
recreation, such as society affords to those
who are disposed to exert themselves for
their own diversion, so the theatre and the
concert room become of inestimable value
1t is peculiarly proper that the last day of
the week should be most used by those
seeking amusement; Tor whether Sunday is
observed as a day of worship or merely as a
day of rest, its influence is far more bene-
fetal if the strain of the weeks cares has
been eased in some way before Sunday
comes. AS the season progresses amuse-
ments will become more numerous and
probably be better patronized; but the ex-
cellent support which some of the theatres
are already enjoying shows that no real at
traction will 60 beggingtn community SO
anxious to be amused. Managers who are
wise will find a hint in this and act persist
emily upon it, knowing that the disposition
to be amused is more general than excel
lence of quality in the amusements offered.

Another area of low barometer is advancing

South Atlantic coast, the Central Valley dis
tricts and the lake regions. Clear weather has
prevailed west Of the Mississippi River The
winds have been from fresh to brisk in the lake

been generally light. Temperatures have fallen
generally in the lake regions and the Middle
Atlantic and New England States. Elsewhere
there has been decided rise. The storm centre
In the Northwest will move eastward over the

THE LATE COMMODORE VANDERBILT evidently
believed that disembodied spirits should be
made useful well as other beings, but when
we read that he consulted the ghost of Jim
Fisk upon the indications of the stock market
we compelled to assume that the old gen.
tleman had in mind some private grudge that he
owed the late Coonel-Prince-Admiral. There
are some unpleasant occupations assigned by
certain authorities to some denizens of the un-
known world, but TO have to hear again about
the stock market after having shuffled of this
mortal coil is little the severest torment that
has entered the mind of man to conceive. No
wonder the Commodore doubted the accuracy
Of the reply that came back from the shades

truth under such provocation.
