The Tribune has sought to make
good deal of capital out of the opinions
of The PILOT in reference to Mclean in
1874. The campaign is over now and we
refer to it merely to clear ourself of SEEM
ing Inconsistency in the estimation of
those who do not know the facts in the
case. The present editor of The Pilot
began his editorial duties in March l,
1878. In 1868 E. B. Treat was editor of
The PILOT and supported Mclean. In
1874 I. G. Olmsted was editor and did
likewise. The present editor has nothing
whatever to do with the opinions of these
gentlemen in 1868 or in 1874. We form
opinions from facts as they appear to US
and not from past matters as they ap-
peared to others.

THE state prison of Wisconsin never
had more than one editor within its walls
who was an inmate of the place. La
Crosse seems likely to raise the number
to two. A. S. Foote is charged with hay
ing, on Thursday last, filed box with
combustible material and placed light
time the material in the box would be-
come ignited aud fire the building. The
fire could not be detected from the out
side until so fairly under way that it
would be impossible to check it. The
managing editor made the discovery be-
fore leaving the Office for the evening.

WILL the committee appointed to in
vestigate the State Asylum whitewash
or examine impartially1 1t is due to the
people and to the managers of the asylum
that the investigation be made as thor
ough rs possible. People begin to lose
confidence in investigating committees
from the fact that they usually work to
shield some one.

THE man who has been prosecuting
Rev. NJ. Dix Of New York has been ar
rested. 1t was a pretty nice piece of
work on the part of the detectives.
Williamson, the culprit, says it was all a
Joke. The fellow has quite checkered
history and the general opinion is that
his mind is unbalanced.

Ii the people of the United States
were limited in their choice of president
to Grant and Blaine, they should by all
means choose the former. Blaine never
did anything as public man that was not
suggested by the most bigoted partisan
ship. His admirers cannot point to
single salutary law that owes its existence
to Jim Blaine. They cannot point to a
single utterance that marks him as q
statesman or patriot. His prominence
comes solely from his craftsmanship and
from his participation in scenes of strife
which disturb the country. Grant, since
his return from Europe, has given utter
ance to sentiments which shows that
the man is broadened by travel and
observation. We would rather see Grant
elected to ten terms than live one year
under Blaine's administration.

The treatment of Parnell at Enniscar-
thy lately is a disgrace to the Irish name.
A gentleman who visited q foreign coun-
try, and worked increasingly for suffer-
ing people, pleaded their cause before
the world and sent them substantial aid,
should receive better treatment at tner
hands than to be driven from the plat
form and pelted with rotten eggs because
of political excitement. The Irish peo-
pie are too apt to be led astray by noisy
demagogues. Some politician who never
did aught to aid them, indeed it Is said
the government which Expresses them,
induced those people to offer in the sight
of the world an insult to their benefactor.
1t would be much more in accordance
with propriety, even if Parnell had been
an enemy instead of a friend, to listen to
him quietly or not to put in an appear
ance at all at the meeting. With the
present amount of suffering in Ireland,
her people would act more creditably to
themselves and to their countrymen in
other lands if they did not allow politics
to run away with their reason and had
refrained from putting public insult on
a man who has nobly championed theil
cause.
The people of Enniscarthy should have
considered which had served them best
the man who crossed the seas in their in
terest and sent them thousands of doll
airs earned by severe labor, or the worth
less demagogues who did nothing bu
what was prompted by selfish motives
and by empty talk turned the hearts o.
the people against their friend.

WHEN the seeds of dissolution were
sown in the Empire of Rome the troops
dictated who the Emperor should be. 1t
is rapidly coming to that pass in the
United States. The republicans rejoice
at having the army on their side and rely
more on Gen. Sherman than on the peo-
ple to say who shall be chosen president.

There is nothing startling in the sound
of the word Dodd. But that catarrhal
word represents more political sinuosity
than any other word formed from the
English alphabet. Dodd. A harmless
word seemingly, except when issuing
from infantile lips when it gives promise
of vigorous profanity. Like its distin-
guished bearer it has wonderful capac-
ity for going in any or in every direction.
Backwards or forwards it IS the same,
Dodd, nothing but Dodd. With su-
perhuous letter at the extremity, sugges'
ton of word which second thought had
left unspoken. When Prof. Salisbury IN
his work on orthepy advised the rapid
pronunciation of "had-e, had-i, had-o,
with vigorous and exaggerated facial &C
tion," he knew not that there was such
word as Dodd on which the vocal organs
could be practiced. Pronounce the word
and see how many of the vocal organs it
calls into play. How almost irresistible
is the temptation to form an alliterative
sentence and give vigorous expression to
the able bodied word damn" 1t Is a
difficult matter to determine whether the
last word in the foregoing sentence gives
greater pleasure when Immediately pre-
ceding the word Dodd or following it.
If the request or command could be COM
piled with, the arrangement of the words
into a sentence indicating that Dodd
would be placed with those in the left
hand, would be decidedly preferred by
all. But as mere matter of amusement
it would take cultivated ear to say which
sounds the better.
A few brief years ago when politics
claimed but little of our attention we
met Dodd of Fond du Lac. His stalwart
democracy made the man shining mark.
He was candidate for the democratic
nomination for secretary of state. After
the convention at which Dodd failed to
get the nomination we heard of his defec
ton. He had gone over. Remembering
his glowing eulog,ams on the democracy
pronounced on every curb stone in the
city and learning of his desertion from
the democratic ranks, we would have laid
our head in the dust and wept, but that
Manitowoc does not furnish dust enough
tn manufactIra an Adam and SO we did
not weep. But we cannot forget Dodd.
Not until the shadows that cover the past
have crept up to the present. We can
not realize that Dodd can fraternize with
the people whom we had heard him be-
rate so valiantly. Oh, no. We have put
our faith in Dodd. He made our blood
pulse too rapidly through our veins when
deuouncing republicans to desert him be-
cause circumstances are against him.

IT is said Senator Edmunds does not
want the presidential nomination. The
Springfield Republican very wisely re-
marks, that it is not the question who
does or does not want the presidency, but
whom do the people want. When poll

then has the millennium boeu ushered In.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The New York Herald takes no sides
in the Presidential campaign, but dis
cusses the political situation from an
independent tand-poias. In view Of
the fact that the President and the
members of his Cabinet are everywhere,
but at Washington, where they are ex-
pected to be-, it says:
How would it do to let. everything
stand and have no election The coun-
try was never so prosperous, say our
Republican friends, yet it is really with
out government. The President is away
in Oregon drinking tea; General Sher-
man is in attendance Oh him, and the
army is without head; Secretary Sher-
man is in the West, and the Treasury
runs itself; Evarts is reviewing Boys
IN Blue parades, and the world is at
peace; we have no Senate, no House,
no Supreme Court. The only Federal
officer who seems to be alive is Super
visor Davenport, and we might, under
pressure, spare him; yet how prosper
Gus we are all the same! II we can get
along so well without a government,
why not'go step further, and have no
election? 1t would save money and
trouble and temper and time. y
The suggestion is worthy of consider
alton. If everything runs right along
without government what is the use
of having an election, and what differ
ence does it make WHO'S elected? An
eminent statesman once said: "They
are. governed best who are governed
least" If this is true and it seems
that it is, it is folly to have Presiden-
tial or any other kind of an election.

In Indiana the Democrats are conf.
