LEADERS VINO WILL NOT LEAD.

Achilles sulls in his tent. The Sth of jan
uary has come, but the Democracy of Ohio
listens in vain for words of wisdom about
Jacksona Democracy from Allen G. Thur
man. 1t was eminently proper that the Ohio
Democracy should long for information about
that species OF Democracy of which it knew
least, and which it least rescmbled. But Mr..
Thurman evidently perceived the gross I'M
propriety Of seeking that information from
HIM. If any Democrat living knows nothing
of Jacksonian Democracy, and resembles
jackson not at all, Mr.. Thurman is
that man. For jackson was man
of deeds, and Thurman is man OF
words. JacksOnian Democracy looked to
the present and the future the Dem
ocracy of Thurman wears out its life
time on its knees III devotion to a dead past.
Jacksonian Democracy dcspised swindles and
frauds; the Democracy of Thurman shields
embarrassing vOte-buyers, defends the onion
skin frauds of South Carolina, excuses the
massacre of witnesses i'll Louisiana. outrages
the voters of OHIO by an apportionmcnt
designed to defeat their will, and, as in the
ease revealed by the intercepted telegram
from John G.. Thompson. manufactures elec-
ton returns 10 fit emergencies Andrew Jack
son was a brave and sturdy leader. Allen G..
Humans chief crrand in politics is to
apologize for betraying the SO-called cOnyic-
tiuns of a lifetime on the currency question,
and his latest feat is to run away from his
army on the eve of decisive battle.
Mr.. Thurman dares not lead the Democracy
of Ohio in contest with "the money power
But he wants to he the chosen candidate to re-
ceive the votes of the Democracy, and the high
est hOnors it can ever confer, when the We
tory has been won by somebody else. His
courage in a battle with "the money power y
is that of the prudent small boy who declines
personal combat, saying: "lf | can't whip
"you can make faces at your sister" Saw
age speeches against the banks Mr.. Thurman
can make from a safe distance But he dares
not go before the people of the State of Ohio
TO learn whether they prefer the present uni
form and absolutely safe currency to the pa
per money which Democracy gave us--a cur
rency of as many kinds as there are
States, all different, and nearly all bad

4 FyyAL BLOw AT pOLTG4WY.

The Supreme Court Of the United States has de-
cIded upon an appealed case from tine Supreme
Court of Utah, as only the highest tribunal
of civilized, not to say enlightened nation
could possibly decide. II has determined that
the law of Congress against pOlygany Is
strictly constitutional. For years this abon-
inatIOn-we will not disgrace q respectable
word by calling it an iusttution-has been source
of unsprakabe modification to every decent Ancrl-
can. That il should ever have been permitted to at
tam such scandalous proportions wonderfully
shameful. II was even more so that 1t shonld nave
been handled so gingcrly and that an offence
against good morals, and such clearly indlctable
at common law, should daily and permanently be
repeated
The matter was not neglected for want Of discns-
sion Travellers returned from the far of SOdcm
told us stories which made blush. Women
who had escaped from the coarse harcms
of Salt Lake City recOuntcd their wrongs
in lectures and in books. great pO-
lltica party put plank against polygamy
into its platform Congress then made the pracTicc
Illegal but still it not abandoned. On the con-
trary it was adhered to with mpudent pertlnacity,
the very case which has occasIoned this decision
shows TIE Saints" have fought desperately for
their foul custom and have now been beaten at
every point. Polygamy stands upon level with
murder burglary or any other crime, so Tar
as its prohibition Is concerned; and little
energy will force the savage sultans OF
Utah either to abandon their multiplied esponsalS
or TO go to prison. The largest and most beautiful
and miscellaneous bcvy of wives will he no better
than none all to convict and there is good hope,
therefore, that we have arrived at least at the be-
ginning of the end of this business.
The courts of Utah have now the matter in
a.. l.,V
have il practically 50 Likewise. OF course meas
ures must be taken to purge the iury-bOX, in which
no polygamst, aud no person iav0rng pOlyCamy
in any way should be allowed TO sit The rules
of evidence should be strained as far a. Justice
will permit that sufficient testimony may be pro-
cured and repute should be allowed to 20 quite as
far as il already does in divorce eases Polygamy
will then be driven into corner, and finally will
altogether cease to be practisrd

So much Mr.. Thurman knows. Therefore he

by noisy Outcry against the banks. Therefore
he Will stay at Washington and voclierhte'
leaving somebody else to lead the Democracy

IL will occur to every politician who knows

shin pluck. The man who wants to he their

In the end. when they get the power 10 CONFER

elements i'll his party twice. lie wouia
not risk an open fight as haru
money Democrat against Allen in 1879, ana
he had not the courage to stand maniully for

if bard-mOney Democracy ever llits us he'u

outbid Ewing and PcndletOn for the favor OF

Probably it appears TO Mr. Thurman that

Rapt into prophecy. Mr.. Tilden forcsecs that

sions will inspire the American peo-
ple with zeal TO REGAIN the right of

this vision to the West. Elective self-goveln-

But. in any event, Mr.. Tiden is blcst with
comforting conscience. However states

tomary morals, or feeblcr trust IN
moral forces may have faltered, it was
not through the negligence of Mr.. Tilden
or of his c0paTceners that the American peO-
nile lost their fright Of elective self-gOycrn-
"mcnt" when they did. Who else ever coll
lected for the protection of the largest and
hottest interests of humanity such

Mr.. Tilden's efforts in the cause Of elective
self-governmcnt will hardly he forgotten
even if the American people are not

of Columbus, Ohio, to regain" what
they have lost. None the less do we hope

It is pretty clearly shown in our Washing
ton dispatches that the OstenSible objects Of
Mr. POttcr's long and wCalis0me journey to
New Orleans could not have been his real OBJ
iects at all. Secretary Shcrman's lawyer III
Washington could have told Mr.. Potter quite
as well as the Secretary's lawyer III New-Or-
leans. that there was no intention of submit
ting any further testimony to prove lntlmlda-
ton; and it is equally clear that the trip could
not have been made to gather up the few
worthless scraps of information that may be
living about concerning the duplication of the
Louisiana electoral certificates. ii follows,
without much doubt, that Mr.. Potter was
in search of Mrs. jerks and the disclosures
that amiable woman was supposed to hold
in reserve. How sadly he was disappointed
is known already 1t now remains to be seen
whether he will at least prove that his
committee is capable of spaSm of in
tclligence and energy by beginning an
investigation of perhaps the gravest dis
closure of downright wickedness in pol
itics ever made III this country. II this
duty is evadcd, and the committee which,
unfortunately for Mr.. Potter, has taken his
name, dies with the same feebCness that has
been its chief characteristic in life, it will be
remembered only as the most diSmally flabby
and empty concern that ever made maudlin
work of q contingent fund.

much worse gOings-On in Massachusetts

Mr. Edmunds has a way of catching people

atives AS members of Congress are chosen
at the same election with other pubic

Government would be able to give to the

would practically protect him in the whole
exercise of his tights as n citizen; and at the

IRENE State Rights advocates can dispute
the right of Congress to prevent fraud and
intimidation in the choice Of It's own men,

Charles A. Gross Not To BE n
Charge to the County.

Paul Gross, of this city, says that
he proposes to take his son to the
Oakland Deaf and Dumb Asylum at
his own expense, and that he only
applied to the County Commissioners
for permission to do it, in order to
secure admission for his boy, with
out trouble. He thinks that after a
few months at Oakland his boy will
be able to speak intelligibly. He
says, further, that, although not as
well fixed, financially, as he has been,
he is still amply able to provide for
his family, and he does not propose
to allow either the State or county to
do it.
