WHEN fellow is public servant he

dices and codes of opinion must be

ton in which the South Is held in many
countries. This is believed to be true
of Us. But it seems that one Riddle,
a good and skillful and capable and
honest New York City pedsgogue,
went off after the flimsy, pickering,
Eighty faith of the spirits, and there
upon the government OF New York,
having no other grounds of complaint,
elected Riddle from his cfice, and
they will not suffer him to feassume
his duties. We do not pretend, since it
is none of our bunness, to condemn the
rulers of New York for this action, but
only to say that when they discover
evidences of religious, social or politi-
cal prejudices in distant countries like
Texas, they should not make such an
internal uproar about it. ConklIng
forgets facts at hcme, and wanders
away off into the jungles of Ypzoo and
Kemper to discover just such incidents
Of prejudice as these illustrated in the
fortunes of poor Riddle.

MANY cases like this of Mr.. George
Arthur Glrdner are of record. Dem
lists are not always educated as sur
geons and physicians and many of
them are incapable Of knowing how
and when deadly poison may be safely
used in destroying a nerve in an sch-
ing and decayed tooth. 1t is safest
to have the tooth extracted and an ar
tificial tooth substituted. A case of
poisoning In Brooklyn last week Gre
ates great excitement. The decen-
dent was the nephew of Prescott, the
historian. i Is said by his attending
physician that his death was caused by
arsenicsl poison placed by dentist
in one of his teeth for the purpose of
killing an aching nerve.

SENATOR CoNKLINe, in his great
campaign speech at Brooklyn, last
Thursday night, made up terrible In
dictment against the South In Con-
gress. He is most stalwart of all stall
warts and most aggressive of all the
leaders of his party. How singular
and great the change in popular NOR
ais and ideas as perverted by war.
Prior to 1860 the great men of Ameri-
ca and those venerated for patriotic
virtue and wisdom were most conserv-
alive. The madcaps and violent fellows
of those days, while they won over the
many and unthinking and violent,
never led after them the intelligence q
virtue of the country. Clay and w
ster were most honored and M
loved and most powerful yey
were ''comprcmisers" of il liable
quarrels. but now, when Coz ling adj
dresses the best ard wlsesk people Of
his State, he is most violent and most
radical. The couhtrys organic law is
no barrier to bis passions. and very
cobweb in the air beaten by his fists.
The people listen lntently and applaud
repturously.

HoRtATIo SEYMOUR says be loves to
have the good opinion Of his country
men, but that an old man, fading the
eIrth crumbling beneath his feet when
he stands tt the graves mouth, should
put away human ambitions. He does
not wish to become a candidate for
shs pres deI cy. When told that Sena-
'er Hamilton OF Maryland had named
him as the most available and best
ID -mocratic candidate for the presiden-
cy, he expressed both qualification and
surprlsc but At the same time said that
''as to any change in my purpose not
to take an active part in political If
fairs, you must bear In mind that old
age and Ill health are matters beyond
my control. cannot recall the years
that have passed nor the Vigor that has
wane1. l can only say to you that l

should feel like one of the fl, 1res in
HolEein's Dance of Death ," At the
same time the reporter noticed the fact
that ''the Governor looks remark ably
well, and bears his sixty-fve years with
esce. His eye is keen aud his voice
strong, and one would not
think him a man who could fairly
plead old age as an excuse for declin-
ing presidential laurels" In spite, too,
of the fact that he only sees the Utica
daily papers, the Governor manifestly
feels the scutest sort of interest in New
York politics, and displays his usual
faculty Of shrewd judgment upon such
matters. In regard to the impending
contest he says that outside OF New
York city Cornell and Robinson will
''run evenly with their respective
tickets" San experience" he says,
Sshows that defections from parties are
apt to dwindle towards the close of the
contest" He added that he hoped the
Democratic party would succeed, and
that 81 do not doubt that Governor
Robinson will gain as many, if not
more votes, from the Republican party
than he will lose from any hostility
whatever 10 our own, and it may prove
that he will gain largely"
