The Louisville C0urier-.joundt Of Monday
had full revenge on the Ohio papers for their
late savage assaults on Kentucky. That State
has lately gained a most unenviable reputa-
tlon for itself. Feuds, murders and assassi-
nations have become SO common that IL really
began to look as ii the old title that the State
enjoyed, "the bloody hunting ground" WIS
appropriate, fit and proper. For weeks the
Ohio papers have been harping on this sub
iect, lecturing her neighbor, Kentucky, on
the bloodshed and disorders occurring within
her borders. Monday. however, the Courier
Journal had Its revenge for this abuse by
publishing ut of the crimes committed In
the Buckeye { tate on the previous Sunday.
There were mere than two long columns OF
specials the Dauier-joWnnL evidently did
not grudge til, telegraph bill for these ac-
counts of every kind, murders, assassinations,
robberies, etc. Indeed, there was not o crime
III the DEVILS lexicon that did not occur last
Sunday on the soil Of Ohio. The panorama
thus presented was frightful, and showed that
for one day at least Ohio not only exceeded
Kentucky In crime, but was the wickedest
State In the Union.

Grant will have to linger week or two
longer in the Orient. His campaign needs
wise and iudicious management TO ensure
success II he arrives in the United States
In August, as originally proposed it 10 more
than likely that the enthusiasm over his re-
ception will die away before the nominating
convention, and when Ulysses appears before
that body 1t will be as q played-out mana
dead issue. No sensation can last longer In
this country than few months; the Grant
sensation no more than any other. Let It
once die out and Ulysses chances for the
Presidency are gone. They are shrewd poll
ticans. those men who are managing the
campaign for Grant, and they see all this.
They have, accordingly, telegraphed Ulysses
not to return just yet But how Is the worthy
General to amuse himself in this Danish
ment2 What countries are there left for him
to "do?" The Grant campaign committee
has suggested that two months may easily be
whiled away in Australia, and another in the
Hawaiian Islands That, should further
delay in Grants triumphal arrival In this
country be necessary, he might try kam-
schatka or Borneo; but if he values a third
term, he must show himself as little as pos
sible to the people of the United States before
he secures a nomination.

The campaign Of the Brooklyn ant-treat-
Ing club against social drunkenness Is proving
a winning one. The idea Of the club is that
much of the drunkenness in this country Is
due not to n love of liquor and its effects. but
to sociability, the custom that every man has
when he meets a friend Of asking him to
stake drink If this habit OF treating, In
troduced into this country by the Irish. could
be eradicated, the club declares, thousands OF
persons who drink too much would cease to
do So Members who Joined the club are not
expected to become teetotallers; they are
only to stop treating. Thousands OF persons
In New York have joined this organization,
and 1t has become 80 strong In numbers as TO
alarm the bar-keepers Of Manhattan. who see
ruin staring them In the face. In the mean
while the members OF the anti-treating asso-
citation drink wine Or liquor only at meals.
and have discovered the very evident fact
that this Is the time to drink and that liquor
loses halfJof its evil effects If taken at din
ner instead OF on an empty stomach.

The new "scientific" frontier Of India on

war with the Ameer began. This, together
with the conceded right of England to SUI

and the location of British resident at Ca

Independence. His subserviency to Russia

THE TEXAS TRADE.

1t is a fact universally conceded among the
merchants of this city that the loss OF large
part of the trade between New Orleans and
Texas has had serious effect In retarding
our commercial prosperity. Every effort to
prom ote and foster the means to restore the
formerly important traffic between this mar
ket and the Empire State of the South ought
to be encouraged by all who are interested In
the welfare Of this city.
We heartily concur In the views expressed
by many Of the Texas papers, which advocate
restoration OF the patronage OF Texas mer-
