A Suggestion to Rutherford II. Hayes

We have been taught to love our enemies.
We regard man who, by corrupt means,
obtains the Office Of President as an enemy
to his whole country, including ourselves.
RUruERToRD i. HAYES IS the specific man
we refer TO as answering to this description.
Enemy, however. as we regard him. we will
make a friendly suggestion to him. We do
not consider that M HAYES IS President OF
the United States. Nevertheless, he will
send message to Congress, at its extra
session, just as II he We're President. We
take the liberty Of suggesting TO him some
thing to put into it, which, at the least, will
relieve the ordinary aud Characteristic dull
ness VI his State papers.
Mr.. HAYES has printed platitudes upon
civil service reform, only less dull than
DoRMAS b. EAToS's because they were not
quite so long. Now let him say something
pointed and practical on that subject. Let
him recommend that all persons hoidmg

The New Jersey printers are turning the
attention Of the Legislature to Secretary Of
State KELSEY. They say he charged the state
over s.. 900 last year ana like amounts in 1876
and 1877 for sending TO sixty-three newspapers
printed slips of tho laws passed in those years
although n law was passed in 1876 TO pay him
only 81 600 for this work; and the printers say
that 81 600 is more than four times what 1t is
worth. II seems that Mr. KELSEY Ia protected
in making his charge 10y the Attorney Generals
opinion, that he had the legal right to make 1t.
because the law cutting his pay for the job down
TO 81 900 did not become law ill two days after
he was reappointed by Gov. BEpLE. and is
therefore applicable only to his successor. But
If Secretary KELSEY has gone on for three years
taking IS. 900 year OF the peoples money for
$3.50 worth OF work after the passage Of a law 10
give him only tl.0 900 year for it. Secretary

Tho finding Of young woman's body en-
cased in trunk in marsh near Lynn has
been followed 10y unavailing search for a clue to
her identity. As in the case OF the woman's
body found in a barrel on Staten Island a few
months ago the revelations OF the inquiry are
almost as interesting as the tragedy itself Not
less than a score Of young women answering
the victims description are reported missing by
relatives. who almost fear TO look upon the body
lest it be recognized as'that OF the absent one.
Some have disappeared after starting on an err
rand or to make n visit; others have run away
from home one had been driven out. and was
sought 10y parent who WAS only too anxious TO
forgive and forget. The thought Of death had
in every instance sotened all hard feelings to-
ward the missing. The inquiry reveals many
secrets carefully kept until now. In the Staten
Island case 1t disclosed two crimes similar 10
the one suspected; and II attested that many
more women were missing than the public or
the police had any notion OF.
