Radicaa, Guns spIlkeddl..f sIlk ca

When the Special Deficiency bill re-
ruiring Deputy Marsbafs TO be APP
pointed by the Circuit Court Judges
equally fiom the political parties, the
Republicans had made great prepara-
iions for grand display of oratory
upon the subject, but the Democrats
completely spiked their big guns by
refusing TO be drawn into protracted
war of words over proposition so
manifestly fair and just. Mr.. Ed
munds led off with an hours speech in
his bitterest vein, but failed wholly to
provoke reply. The Democratic
Senators let him beat the air until he
was exhausted, and then quietly wait
ed for the next. Thereupon the Re-
publicans, seeing they were caught in
Il trap of their own setting, and real
izing that 10 keep up "a one-sided fight
would only make them ridiculous, ac-
cepted the situation, bottled up their
PREPARED oratOry, and allowed the bill
to come TO vote at once, whereupon
the Democratic Senators turned to and
passed it with aacrity. The only
hope of the RAIDS now is that Hayes
win veto the bill I; but that would put
him in the ridiculous position of in
sisting upon partisan Deputy Marshals
and of being afraid to trust the Cir
cult Judges, while he and his party
leaders are clamoring so loudly for
far and honest elections.

THE Rennb,icaus of Rhode Islan,

The Republicans of Rhode Island
have provided for the intermarriagt
of themselves and children with the
negro race, by repeating the law which
stood between them and the enjoy
ment of that delectable privilege. This
is the most stalwart kind OF stalwart
Republicanism, and places Rhode Is
land proudly az the van of Republican
States.

PERHAPS some of the Radical leaders
can tell an anxious and interested
public what the great reform Legls-
lature OF Ohio have been doing for the
past three months that has been of
benefit to the people. Have they
passed any law that has in the least
tended to relieve the burdens of the
people? The Republicans are not
disposed to blow about O'Conor Leg
islature as much "a they formerly did.

Corporation Solicitor, and SeaIer of
Weights and Measures on Monday,
substantially without opposition, there
being but two votes against them.
These Offices were not included in the
Mayors Election Proclamation, but
they existed nevertheless and draw
pay for their services, and Democrats
as well as many Republicans are of
the opinion that the statutes requires
that they shall be elected.

Wei De Meyers Treatise ON Ca.
l. That Catarrhal Colds become 3
poisonous Infection, at first local, and
finally constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional, the infection
is beyond the reach of mere local
remedies.
8. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach
and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison
ing the Digestive. Respiratory and Genito-
urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the
mucous membrane and causes Deafness,
Dyspepsia. Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis,
Leucorrhoea. and Consumption.
8. That Smokes, Douchee, Inhalations,
and Insoluble Snuffs. cannot possibly
remove infectious Inflammation from the or
gans named.
6. That an antidote for Catarrh must
possess an inoculative affinity for, and the
quality of being absorbed by, the purulent
mucous wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories,
DR.. Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure
has proved to be infallible. 1t not only re-

EMBARRAS DE RTCHESSES.

| Hardly has Mdrgtterite's despairing plant
died away, or Edgardo's passionate repining
ceased to thrill, but we are reminded that the
| fantastic drolIery or Bobcche. the delicious
wickedness OF Madame L'Archidpc, the indie
seribsble extravaganza of MowsoM are
claiming our attention. During six pleasant
and memorable weeks we have been listening
to the stricken tenor as he tore his tuneful
heart strings well nigh to tatters, and fol-
lowed the fortunes of the fatcon across undu-
lating roulades and assembled with her the
vocal heights up to the very pinnacle of her

the tragic phases that can be expressed In

deep Of the profau,do. Rigotetto has torn his
hair and Marcel has hurled his complicated
denunciations; Mephisto has warbled his dia-
bolical serenade, and the Borgias have con-
cocted poison with all the power of their lungs.
IMcie has gone crazy In stdccdtO and liotetta
has died before our eyes upon the pinions Of
thrill. The whole gusty, hair-tearing,
b omicidal, gloomy procession has passed by,

overhauling our emotional organs, when 10

A BAD PRACTICE,

We learn with regret and pain that our
eminent fellow-citlzen Morris Marks, chief Of
United States Internal Revenue Department
at this place, was yesterday set upon and
battered by another fellow citizen of the
name of st. Martin. Perhaps our regret will
not rise to very dizzy heights as compared
with Marks's, but they are considerable for
all that. We object strongly to the spectacle
of Collector of internal Revenue being bat
tered upon the public street. 1t is unpleas-
ant to ladies, it Is revolving to Marks him.
self, and It sets bad example to small boys.
These things should be done In the seclusion
OF coffee house or in the dim religious light
of a lumber yard Under those cireum-
stances the process may be soothing TO the
batterer and instructive to the battered with
out lowering the moral tone OF the general
public They are surrounded with a halo OF
decency. Against this ostentatiou5 and vain
glorious style of tearing down an eminent
official and swabbing the sidewalk with him,
In full view Of the populace, however, we
strongly and urgently protest. Beside being
harro wing to the eminent official, 1t Is de-
morallzing in It's tendency. We do hope that
the next time Mr.. St. Martin feels like going
out a pile-driving on Marks, he will lead
Marks out quietly but firmly to some lonely
spot-some sequestered fence-corner, like. 1t
will be preferable.

EDIs0N's TRIUMPH.

1t Is all very well for the gas people and
their friends and admirers to pooh pooh Edi-
sons success. They harm nobody, change
no facts, and, it Is to be presumed. they find
considerable pleasure In the operation.
We feel towards these as we do towards the
illustrious Sawyer, and the magnificent du
Motay or the great and only Professor Nor
ton. We take a philosophical interest In
them-a sort of bless-yo um my children feeling
and we feel sorry that so much Of the ma
terlal set apart for making them should have
been worked up into ears. It was entertain
ing to hear Sawyer solemnly declare that
Edison's filament wouldn't last three hours,
and to listen while du Motay demonstrated
the impossibillty OF his vacuum. Similarly is
1t amusing. now, to hear the unsclentific but
equally intelligent critics gravely contend
that Edison's light is too white and too intense
for domestic purposes; that his circuit is 80
arranged that the breaking of one lamp
would affect all the others Ia the same cir
cult; that, ETC.. etc. 1t Is needless to follow
the list out since the rest of the items are just
as simple minded and refer to matters quite
as obvious matters which every one at all
familiar with Mr.. Edison's present system
know that he has foreseen and fully antici-
pated.
We say this Is amusing, because the most
conspicuous and notorious facts In connection
with the Edison lamps are that their light Is
not intense and binding; that 1t is pre-emi-
nently adapted to domestic use; that the
circuit Is not so arranged that the breaking of
one lamp will affect the others; that his sys-
tenn Of connections Is far less liable to dis
turbance than gas-that, in fact, all and every
one of the criticisms referred to are sIgnally
unfounded and preposterous. These points,
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1880-01-04

ogether with many others which the gas
people would never have thought Of, have al
ready been disposed OF by Mr.. Edison and
chronlcied from day TO day by the New York
papers. 1t would be crediting Edison with
an amazing lack of common sense to assume
| that he mad overlooked considerations 80 OBJ
vions as To be actually obtruslve and 1t Is
| difficult to reconcile the advance OF such
| objections with the slightest knowledge OF
| the facts In the case.
| However, II any ono can find comfort In
| ciinglug To these melancholy Illusions, they
are 10 be congratulated upon their innocence
/ and not to be derided-far from it. Mean
while Edison's little lamps-some forty of
| them In all--have been steadily burning Mt
MEMO Park. Some In the street, some In the
workshop, some In the laboratory. One OF
them had on Tuesday last been burning for
three hundred and eight hours, and none of
them less than two hundred hours. So far
from their light being Intense or binding or
offensive 1t Is described by oil witnesses as
being very grateful to the eye, eminently
suited to the work table or reading desk-alto-
gether the best and most manageable light
known to the world. SO far from the extn-
punishment OF one lamp affecting the others
or disturbing tho circuit, 1t has been shown
hundred times that any number Of them can
be detached or extinguished without produe-
Ing the slightest effect upon the others.
Every one Of the objections referred to has
oeen abundantly disposed of and shown to be
groundless by the most undeniable practical
test, In presence of scores OF witnesses.
Meanwhile gas stock goes steadily down.
and Edison stock has experienced rise UNI
paralleled In history. On Monday, the last
Of the few shares that remained In the mar
ket were sold at $500, $4,000, $4,000, and final
~ $4,000 each, although their face ralae ,uas
oatu ono hundred dotlna.
According to latest accounts, there Is no
m ore Of this stock to be had at any price.
No doubt the criticisms will continue to cir
cuiate and the critics to bloom In all their
tropical luxuriance; but this will not delay
I he deliverance Of the people from the gas
c ompany curse, or bring about the downfall
OF Edison. Indeed, 1t reminds US OF nothing
so much as of Solomon's metaphor of "the
cracking of thorns under pot"
