EHURsDAY EVENING, FEB. u, 1890.
Indictment Of Men.

The New York Sun has been repent
ing in sackclOth and ashes the active part
it took in electing Mayor Cooper, ever
since he took his seat as mayor of New
York for since the very beginning of
his term of office he has demonstrated
his incapacity for his important duties.
The Sun has been taught very severe
lesson of humility in its judgment of
men a; and it does not help itself much by
its confession of to-day that it took
Cooper in reliance on Mr.. Tilden's judg-
ment it only shows that the Sun made
another wrong estimate of character in
placing a confidence in Mr.. Tilden that
he has failed to vindicate. Mr.. Tilden
for long time was prime favOrite OF
the :Sua, and its trust in him has been
very slowly shaken. But COOper's course
seems to have finally had this result,
since the Sun now suspects that he is but
jumping jack for Mr.. Tilden, who pulls
the wires. Mr.. Tilden, together with
the - Influences which relied on his
recommendation, including the Sun,
elected Mr.. Cooper, as that journal de-
clares and since it knows that it does
not approve of Mr.. CoOper's jumps, and
did not therefore influence them, it finds
the responsibility to rest upon MIR. Til
den.
And thereupOn the .SU", calling some
elementary principles of logic to its assist
ance, argues that if Mr.. Cooper steadily
makes al ass of himself year in and year
out, as it thinks he has been doing dur
ing his whole mayoralty, under Mr.. Ill
den's direction, Mr.. Tilden might he rc-
lied on to make II similarly ungracious
exhibition of himself in the presidency, if
he should be chosen to it. And so the
Sun Just wants to he certain that it is
Tilden in the form of Cooper, and not
Cooper per SC, who has g been put
in the public stocks for the pop
ulace to jeer at" to send its old
presidential love to the demnitlOl
bOw-wOws.' We wish the SIN success:
in its investigation. We are sorry that
its favOrites do not better endure thu
test of time, but it is not surprising if il
takes them OH 9 recommendation "rathe
than Oh its own knowledge and Judg
ment. The newspaper editor who is no
able readily to form a fairly correct judg
ment of men is almost as much incapacl
tated from his place as though his judg
ment failed him in questions of policy
1t used to Ike a favOrite declaration, eSpe
cially of Democrats, that principles, no
men. were their devotion: but it
certain that the selection O
men is at least as important a
the determination of principles. Th
principles are interpreted 10y tn
men who are given them in charge t
execute And they are carried out il
their spirit only when they have falle
into the care of faithful, honest and III
telligent keepers. If we could put tn
public affairs in charge of good men, an
free them from the control of parties
there is no manner of doubt that the
would be better taken care of than nON
when our agents are apt to cOnsidt
themselves servants of their party an
not of the country. But the way to &C
good men into Office is as yet an undi

WHITTIER ON GARFIELD. = John G..
Whittier, in letter regretting his inabil-
ity to attend the formation of a Republi-
can club at Amesbury, says; must
not, however, let the occasion pass without
expressing my hearty sympathy with the
movement and my desire to cooperate
with you in your labors in support of a
candidate of pure character, wise states
manship and lifelong fidelity to the princi-
pies of the Republican party, the union OF
the States and the security OF the rights OF
person, property and franchise. For my
self would gladly find an excuse for re-
firing from active participation in the CON-
ing election and would welcome with in
expressible relief any decided manifestation
of more enlightened policy on the part of
Democrats toward the people of color.
But look in vain for any good evidence
of change which would justify relaxation
of zeal and vigilance on our part. have
no words of personal disparagement for
the Democratic nominee, and l do full
Justice to the sincerity and patriotism OF
many of his supporters; but, as rule,
the party remains as it was at the close OF
the war. The time has not come when it
will be safe to intrust the financial inter
ests of the country, and the welfare of the
emancipated class, to party whose Presi-
dent can only be elected by compromise
with the Greenback heresy and the virtual
suppression by fraud and violence of the
vote of the colored citizens OF the Southern

ANEW STREET NUIsANCE.-A new street
nuisance lately introduced in London was
a small wind instrument, mounted on a
perambulator 1t had fourteen notes, and
was played by turning handle, after the
manner of an ordinary barrel organ. The
peculiarly OF the instrument consisted in
the manner in which the wind OF the bel
lows was admitted to the reeds. The
turning of the handle worked the bellows,
and at the same time slowly wound through
the instrument strip of stout paper about
six feet long and perforated with a num-
Der of holes 1t was through these per-
forated holes that the wind found its way
to the reeds, which where thus operated
upon according to the position and dimen-
sions of the apertures. 1t is obvious that
with sufficient number of reeds and
properly perforated strip of paper, music
of any kind whatever may be performed
on such a continuance by anybody who can
turn handle. The operator had seventy
two feet of paper, which cost him, he
said, from I'd. TO Cd. foot, according to the
nature of the music.

NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAIN VILLAGES.

The awful solitude of the forests is
scarcely broken by them. Half of their
implanted, weather-beaten houses are al
ways empty, the inmates having appa-
rently died, or gone farther into these
sleepy wildernessss and forgotten to come
back. The roads leading to them are
always over break precipices and in
scaudalous disrepair, one generation put.
ting off to another the mending of them.
There Is always a deserted mica mine on
noighboring hight, shining like fountain
of silver gushing from the rock there is
always stream which 'would give pow
erful yield of gold, only we folks don't
count much ON them uncertain ways OF
maxim Twin" There are always one or
two families of educated, well-bred peo-
pie They have little money, but they
feel the need of it less here than any
where else in the States. They live in
roomy wooden houses, the walls, ceilings,
and floors frequently made of purplish
fine-grained poplar. which no Persian car
pet or tapestry could rival In beauty they
buy no new books, but they have read the
old ones until they are live friends they
never saw Gerome or a Fortuny but
their windows open on dusky valleys, deli
cate in beauty as dream, on rushing
waterfalls, on rainbow wells Of mist float
ing over dizzy nights they dress in home
spun, and sit on wooden benches, but
knowing nothing of fashions or bric-a. brac,
their souls sit at ease and are quiet, and
they never feel the aching void of an
empty pocket. Our travellers were well
coined to many room where trunks, the
spinning. wheel, and the cooking stove filled
one side, and the bed and portrait of a
Revolutionary ancestor the other, where
hat-irons aud silver goblets, Shakespeare
and the backing brushes, amicably keep
company on the mantle-shelf, but in which
the fine quick wit and the grave courtesy
of their hosts would have dwarfed the
stateliest surroundings. Il Rebecca Harding

"What ia it that you fear' 1t is moral
