THERE IS q high degree Of incon-
sistency in the action sf all hobby, or
one-idead, men. For instance, there
is Henry Bergh, the man whose afiec-
ton for animals has made him no
toriou5. If not famous. He puts men
into jail tor beating a mule, has men
fined for abusing dogs. wresks ven
geance upon any one who dares NAL
treat an OK, and lately his heart mas
gone out in the direction Of that
household nuisance, the cat. While
the man is frantically rushing through
the streets of New York, breathing
vengeance upon the owners Of ill-fed
horses and pigs. aud threatening with
the jail the fellow who kicks q cat
out of his path, be finds time TO
cruelty drive into the street poor
family that was unable to pay rent
when it was due for lodgings in one OF
his houses. The husband is without
work, the wife and mother sick from
injuries received from falling down
the rickety stairs, and the children
half-naked and haltied, when
they are heartlessly eiecEed.
II Mr.. Bergh would let some
of his humane feelings go
on. towards his felIow-creatures, in
stead of expanding them all on brutes
and beasts, the world would have
more respect for the inconsistent
hobby-ride!

Tn. Red aiII Explosion.

Denver. Col, 14.-Further psItic-
ulars OF the explosion at Red Hill
last night are to the effect that Frank
E. Collyer, agent, I. J. Conway,
assistant sgent, and Charles Glenn,
freiehter, were sitting in the depot
awaiting the down train when tue
explosion occurred. When the Fair
play coach reached the scene of the
disaster, the passengers found Chas.
Hilton, an employs, iearfully
mangled, net q stitch OF clothing,
save one sock, being found on him.
Oollyer was severely wounded about
the head, and it is feared his skull is
broken. Conway was internally in
iured, but not fatally. Glenn wac
wounded about the body, not seri-
ously. His coat was split from toe
neck down. The ground on which
the depot. freight house, eating
house, saloon and forwarding house
stood is now bare. The buildings
were blown into splinters from the
sizs of a toolhpick to that of fine
kindling wood. Not one stick on
another remains OF the Eve buildings.
Il is said that twelve CAGES of giant
powder were in the freight house,
but this is mere rumOr. There IL
some mystery about the affair. Agen
Collyer, who has recovered conscious
ness, Gays there was no powder abou
the place. The wounded were le-
moved to FAirplAy. 1t is said tha

OF g defense, nor, indeed, for any
defense whatever. II nothing new
car be said-and ii lie evident that all
has been told, for Ames himself held
nothing baok-the old story may as
well no! be repeated. Nothing can
destroy the facts, and that old, greasy
memorandum box of OAkes Amss
will forever be held as q monument
and record OF the bad public morals
Of its day. The time for censuring
Cakes Ames has passed, and were it
not for the use that partisan politi-
clans can make OF the Credit MobiIier,
the great manufacturer. statesman
and financier would be to-day the
subject OF laudation throughout the
whole country. To his remarkable
energy and enterprise, moro than
to anything else. is due the
quick and early completion OF the
Pacific Railroad, and to that same
ener,y the nation. and particularly
the western half OF it, owes a large
debt of gratitude that it Is slow In
paying. One of these days, when the
present party issues are forgotten, and
some OF the men whom AmeS found
vulnerable have passed away, and
there is no longer the opportunity to
blaeken characters and assail reputa-
items with the Credit Mobilier sf1air,
Cakes Ames will be vindicated by a
recognition on tina part of the public
that will make his posterity proud;
and when that time comes the great
interior west will rear a monument tc
his name that will be revered when
the Credit Mobilier, the Schuyler Col
faxes, the Gar6eld', the BrookseI
ct al. shall have passed into obscur'
ity. Cakes Ames' sons need not at
tempt a justification or yindieaiion o
their father. The people will d.
both in good time.

the extent of their means by all the
candidates. There were great num-
Der and variety of shindies; heads
broken, noses mashed, eyes gougedr
hair pulled, and, occasionally, piS-
tol-shot and a knife-thrust. On the
whole, the day, though not tragical,
was discreditable in the last degree,
Decentralization ruled the roost. and
rascals were rampant"

The NoMIEATIoN OF Gen. Garfield
for the presidency has very naturally
recalled the Credit Mobilier exposure
of few years ago, and in recounting
Garfeld's connection with that cor
poration, the late Oakes Ames has
come in for another hauling over the
Goals. The result OF this censure OF
the dead man has been the calling
forth of a two-column article in the
Boston Sunday Herald, entitled
"OaSes Ames and the Credit Mobilier
justified" which shis HERALD, in
connection with pretty nearly sill the
newspapers of the country, has been
asked, by the sons OF the deceased, to
publish. Everybody must honor the
SONS who come TO the yindication OF
their fathers memory, but at the
same time sill must regret that they
have nothing new to tel the public.
nothing that will relieve their
parent from the moral sbliquity OF
vision that controlled Cakes Ames in
the organization Of The Credit Mobi-
lier, and his subsequent manipulation
of its affair. We have never believed
Oakes Ames was q dishonest or
corrupt man. he was q great man,
end a good man, but his ideas OF
public morality we're queer, though
in keeping with the times. Mr..
Ames saw nothing wrong in putting
Credit Mobilier stock "Where it
would do the most good" but the
people condemned it; he could not
see that it was improper to organize
q secret or inside corporation to
gather the profits that were TO be
made from the building Of the Union
Pacific, but the public did find harm
in it, and Judged Ames accordingly.
The sons address is simply con!in-
uation or enlargement OF their
fathers defense OF himself, which, in
a sense, steering around the main
question, held that he should be
vindicated because of the usefulness
OF The great work that be accom-
pIished, and also that it was not
Justice to sacrifice him to save others.
There was no occasion for that kind

INCREASE OF POPULATION.

So much has been said about the bad
policy of the southern states in so con-
Quoting affairs as to exclude immigration
that the result of the census of 1880 Will
bring surprise to those who believed IN
the existence of lawlessness south OF
Mason and Dixon's line. We have taken
the trouble to calculate the per cent OF
increase in each one of the twenty states
whose population for 1880 has been re-
ported. While in the fourteen northern
states reported, the per cent OF increase
over the population of 1870, is little
less than 80 per cent, in the six southern
states reported the per cent of increase
for the same time is a trifie less than Al
per cent. The per cent of increase for
the whole twenty states is little over Al
per cent. 1t must be recollected that IN
giving the increase of the fourteen north
ern states, Nebraska and Kansas are in
cluded, new states toward which the tide
of immigration set rapidly and strongly.
Omitting these and averaging the IL
crease of the twelve remaining states, the
per cent drops to q per cent. 1t was
predicted by republicans that the census
of 1880 would show decrease In the
population of the south. Not only is
this proved untrue, but the only state in
which a decrease is shown is Maine, a
state so sparsely settled that over-popu-
lation offers no'explanation. The "shot
gun policy" and social ostracism seems
to have added to the prosperity of that
much abused section. Will We hear as
much of the astonishing increase and its
causes as we would of its decrease and
its causes had the census resulted differ
entlyl
We give the per cent of increase In
each of the states and also the population
of each for the years 1870 and 1880 re-
spectively. The figures given in the
column under 1880 are only approximate
ly corrected.

HANCOCK TO SHERMAN.

The letter of Gen. Hancock in reply to
two letters from Gen. Sherman, takes
the country by surprise, as it reveals ID
Hancock statesmanlike qualities of the
highest type. The letter, in broad states
manship, political sagacity and literary
merit, deserves to be placed side by side
with the choicest of Observation-Disclosures
political essays. The letter Is so ingen-
nous, so dignifed, SO analytic that per-
usal of it makes the impression inevitable
that Hancock can be great man IN civil
life. 1t has that directness which des-
tinguishes the statesman from the poll
tician and leaves no doubt as to the wri-
ter's sentiments.
In discussing the danger likely to
arise in connection with the presidency,
Hancock refers to the constitution and
shows that remedy is provided for the
very difficulties demanding solution
His deep respect for law is observable
throughout the letter, and his reprehen-
sion for employing the army for politi-
cal purposes. Being used unlawfully, he
feels that it is losing that kindly feeling
once felt by the people for it. The gen.
eral, although regular soldier, does not
fall into the error of believing that the
army is always in the right. His letter
is replete with remonstrance against the
employment of the army to intimidate,
or to direct civil affairs. In the discharge
of its legitimate duties it is entitled to
and will receive the respect of the people,
but when used as an instrument of OPP
preston it will always be looked upon
with distrust.
Gen. Hancock in his letter has made
quite a valuable contribution to political
literature. 1t efectually silences the
charge that he is a soldier and not a
statesman. The republicans in insisting
upon the publication of the letter, have
inadvertently strengthened the democrat
ic position.
