TIE DEMocRAr1c CAMPAIGN.

The Democratic canvass has been OBJ
secured by the interest attaching to the
bitter warfare being carried on In the Re-
publican party for the nomination, but the
Democratic managers have been working
quite as hard as their opponents, if their
labors have not been SO much discussed.
1t is curious that up to the present time
no one appears to have any definite idea
as to how the Cincinnati Convention will
result. 1t is true that Tilden seems to
have the inside track, but it is claimed
that the two-thirds rule will make it al
most impossible for him to get the nomi-
nation. There is of course nothing really
known as to his strength or that of other
candidates, for the Democratic delegations
are, with few exceptions, uninstructed, and
the preferences of their members are mere
matter Of conjecture. The fact that Tilden
has been preparing for the Convention
for four years certainly gives him an ad-
vantage, and strong impression prevails
that he can have the nomination if he
wants it. Should this opinion prove to be
ill-founded, however, the prospect for a
dark horse would appear to be greater
than that of the nomination of any of the
candidates already spoken of. Should
Grant be nominated at Chicago the Demo.
Gratis will naturally desire to put up the
strongest man they can find, and it is quite
probable that they may not believe Tilder
to be that man. If h. has the necessary
votes, however, he is certain TO use then
for himself, without troubling himself as
to the inclinations of his friends, for i
nobody else believes in the possibility Of
his success he himself holds it as an article
of faith, never to be questioned.

1t would, however, be neglect of duty on
our part to ignore the general dissatisfac-
ton with the examinations, and we are
sure that We express the common senti-
ment in saying that this matter has gone
too far to be hushed up Low, and must be
investigated fully. In fact it appears to
lis as the case stands that it would be no
more than an act of justice toall concerned,
pupils and teachers together, to call a re-
examination in arithmetic for both the
Grammar Schools for if one of those
schools is under suspicion of having been
taught too little, the other is not less
strongly suspected of having been taught
too much, and therefore in neither case can
the recent examination be rightly regarded
as affording fair test of the capacity of
the scholars

THE CENSUS.
cellence.

AS the taking of the census will begin
next Tuesday, it may be as well to address
word of advice to the general public.
The national census ought to be source
of pride and satisfaction, but hitherto it
has been largely rendered useless by the
extreme difficulty of getting at the precise
facts in snumber of important particulars.
Even intelligent men and women seem to
think it of no consequence to be correct
about dates, for example, as the precise
ages of children, and above all of infants.
Yet some of the most interesting and val
uable tables of the last census were de-
prived of all practical usefulness just be-
cause people would not take the trouble
TO remember the exact ages of their
babies. There is nothing impertinent
or offensive in the questions which
the Enumerators will put They
are each and all designed to aid in
the ascertainment of whatever can
help the people themselves by improved
ways of living, and working, and produc-
ing The statistics now gathered will, if
faithfully given, inform us all how the
nation has grown during the past ten
years, how the people have multiplied,
into what special grooves they have di-
rected their energies, how they have spread
over the country, what diseases have
afflicted them, what measure OF health they
have enjoyed, how education has proceeded
among them, and many other points OF
equal interest Those who are called upon
to answer these questions must consider
that they are contributing their quota to a
common stock of knowledge from which
all will derive information and instruction.
1t is therefore to be hoped that no obstacles
will be put in the way of the officials whose
duty it is to collect these statistics.

THE WEEKLY UNION.

DEPARTMENTS and to the skill and labor applied to
each nor to the rare managerial ability displayed
in the conduct OF the paPer-these speak for them
selves, and give evidence in every column OF read

journal We desire just now to present its claims
and while it is complete in all departments of news
the chief claim is that it gives news oftener and
fresher than any other weekly. This Is so because
it is issued in semi-weekly parts which gives the
reader the current fact and opinion of the day long
before the old-time weekly is issued. Each semi
weekly part consists of eight ages, making total
OF sixteen pages per week, and all sent for 81 per

THE RELEASE OF KEARNEY.

We doubt whether the decision of the
Supreme Court in the case of Kearney has
been much of a surprise to the public, for
the arguments in the case prepared the
way for such a judgment as has been rem
dered. The power of municipality to in
hict penalties beyond what the general
laws of the State prescribe for certain
class of offenses. can hardly be maintained,
since this would be to put the less above
the greater. The Court points out that
municipal bylaws must harmonic with
"the general laws of the State, and be
{" reasonable" But it does not rest it's de-
cision on this point expressly. 1t holds
that Kearney was not lawfully convicted
under the ordinance, since that ordinance
was intended to apply to the denunciation
of persons in their presence, and Kearney
was only charged with abusing Claus
Spreckles in his absence. If, says the
Court, Kearney committed crime in de-
nouncing one in his absence, then I'll nee.
pie who have denounced Kearney in his
absence ought to be imprisoned. This con-
struction would involve the prosecution OF
nearly every journalist in the State, and of a
large percentage of the whole population.
The decision is very suggestive in many
ways, and it may help to impress upon the
public mind that it is dangerous to liberty to
strain laws for any purpose whatever, and
that however public opinion may demand
the punishment of demagogue, there is
no such elasticity in the law as to allow OF
arbitrary infections. 1t is evident, more.
over, that the means employed hitherto to
procure the punishment of such offenders
as Kearney are insufficient. The comforting
upon either Judges or juries the power tc
determine what kind of language consti.
tutes an offense within the law, is manifest
ly dangerous and unwarrantable. The
fact that in given case there might be g
general concurrence in the ruling of the
Court or the verdict of the jury, does not
affect this consideration, either. For it is
clear that with such law in force there
may at any time arise disposition on the
part of some dominant faction to suppress
free speech, and this law would render such
an abuse possible. Let us suppose situa
ton in which bitter political strife
was being waged between Republicans anc
Democrats. The Republicans secure con
troll of the municipal government of Sar
Francisco. The Democrats attack theil
administration. Whereupon they indict
the Democratic speakers and writers un
der the ordinance, and by packing jurie'
obtain their conviction. Perhaps such ;
condition of things might never happen
but it's possibility must be admitted, ant
what has occurred already shows will
what eagerness such law is likely to b.
availed of when it can be used to suppress
an obnoxious individual. The exercise by
a municipality of greater powers than thu
State laws delegate, is of course unjusti
fable, and on that ground alone We thinl
kearney must have been released. Tn,
decision of the Court, however, is mucl
broader, and it indicates the necessity TO
radical change in the ordinances upol
which San Francisco has relied hitherto

OF course the question what kearney
will now do is entirely distinct from the
question of the ruling of the Court in his
case, but it is equally interesting. The
fact that the Sandlot element has achieved
substantial victory is in many respects to
be regretted, but it would have been still
more unfortunate had the Court ignored
the constitutional rights of the citizen in
adiudicating his case. No doubt he will be
tempted to resume his old attitude, and to
revenge himself on his enemies in his usual
style. Nor is it easy to see how he can be
prevented from doing this, or how. failing
