ACCORDING to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
tho majority of Washingtonians, who have
"no votes in any of the States, have no
political ambition beyond the keeping
"of clearinghouse ora cigar stand.7 This
opinion of our citizenship is based upon the
representations of matters and things here
abouts made by the EreajRg star. Perhaps
it is the friendly and proper thing to incul-
cate such beliefs; but in our opinion their
PRONUNCIATION is an insult, for which some
one should be held to account.

COLONEL THOMAS b, KEOGH, secretary of

very amiable and popular gentleman,
whose acquaintanceship, especially among
newspaper men, is widespread-spread all
over the country, in fact. The result is
that Mr., KEoGH is constantly being inter

are discussed in the public prints as the vi

A CONGRESSIONAL investigation into the
Maine imbrogio is the latest inconsistency
proposed by our Bourbon Lawmakers. As
States Rights men they all agree that the
sovereign States shall do as they independ-
emily please in defiance of National author
ity--unless they please to overthrow the
usurpations Of the Democracy. This plastic
regard for q fixed governmental principle,
fixed in their platforms and in the history
Of their party, is one of the most convenient
features Of modern Democracy.

point of strict economy. A three-cent

FoRD's' COURT AND STAGE
RECEIVED on WEDNESDAY LAST WITH
UNBOUNDED ENTHUSIASM
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1880-01-27

The only state constitution in the Union
which declares that presidential electors shall
be chosen by the people IS that of South Caro-
lima, and that was the last state to choose cleo
tors by the legislature This, in fact led to the
Incorporation, In the constitution, of the pro-
vision vesting the right of election in the peo-
pie 1t was power that the citizens of the
state determined should never be taken from
them again, notwithstanding the fact that the
constitution of the United States directs cleo
tors to be chosen in any manner the
legislature OF a state may direct. The
people Of this country never willingly
surrender any Of their power and, while the
bill now before the New York legislature does
not propose to deprive the voters of their voice
in the choice OF electors it does put restriction
upon 1t, and therefore Is not likely to meet with
public approval. This bill provides for the
choice of electors by Congressional districts,
authors, that its object Is to effect a party ad-
vantage. That vast element OF American citi-
zens who never bind themselves hand and foot
to any party do not take kindly to measures
having nothing beyond political advantage in
them. Indeed. they are quick to con-
denim such measures and methods, as they have
spoken out In condemnation of the counting
cut ~ process in Maine. Already very many re
putlicans in New York, and several of the most
Influential journals of that party, have de
nounced this bill and warned the legislature
against passing 1t. This warning is that the
people may resent an interference with the RICH
they have always been accustomed to at the
polls and that instead of being party advant-
age the measure may become party curse.

The British government Is resisting the intro
dGction OF the telephone into England. The
post office department has applied to the courts
for injunctions to restrain telephone companies
from erecting wires and engaging In business,
On the ground that the latter would interfere
with the telegraph, which belongs to the gov
eminent. and that the two inventions are SUBJ
Stantially the same. This action OF the British
government furnishes a powerful argument
against the agitation in this country in behal
OF government telegraph. If, for the sake
protecting itself In monopoly a government
will use its power TO crush out new and useful
Inventions, then we had better leave business
enterprises in the hands OF the people. and
trust TO competition for protection. However,
since Gtn. Butler LEFT Congress there has been
very little said about a government telegraph.

The general revival of trade has resuscitated the
profitable moss business in Louisiana and south
ern Mississippi. In those states the trees are
COY cred with long and beautiful moss which
hangs in festOons to the ground. When prop
erly cured this moss is nearly as fine as horse
hair, and commands ready sale and high price
in the market. There is now demand for 1t
that is profitable TO blacks and whites in the
states named, and thousands are engaged in
gathering moss After tree is stripped it is
permitted to stand for seven years. during
which time another crop of moss natures. After
being gathered the moss is exposed to the sun
for one month, and this separates the bark from
1t. 1t is then washed by machinery, and after
being thoroughly dried is ready for use. In some
OF the cypress swamps moss Is found so clean
and nice that it only needs to be dried to hit it
for use. 1t is estimated that this industry will
swell the revenues OF Mississippi and Louisiana
by many thousands OF dollars this year.

Surprise Is frequently expressed that non
commercial city like Washington should be
infested by so large a number of the criminal
class 1t is an undOubted fact that there is an
abnormally large element OF the idle and vicious
class atoat here and that the persistent efforts
of the District authorities and emigrant aid
societies have not served to dislodge any con-
siderable number of them The question comes
up whether the leniency with which they are
or have been,-treated in our courts does not
encourage them to stick to Washington as safe
and pleasant home. BY comparison with other
localities we suspect that almost everywhere else
punishment is swifter and more severe than
here. The sharp and prompt punishment re-
ceived by criminals in the neighborlng states Of
Maryland and Virginia has made them shy of
seeking home there; and judging by recent
court reports of Philadelphia they receive as
little encouragement in the Keystone state.
day or two since Jacob Miller, citizen of Phil
a6elphia, was Knocked down while passing
through Cherry street early in the morning and
robbed of his pocketbook, containing S45 and
some papers of value. Miller called in the aid
OF the police, who. upon his description of the
robber, instituted search and arrested him in
low alley. The offender was taken before q
magistrate. who held him for immediate trial,
the case was at once presented to the grand
jury, who promptly found a true bill. At noon
VI tilC VI lOUOtly tilC CdSt was
called up in the quarter sessions when Judge
Elcock sentenced the thief to pay fine of 81 900
and to undergo an imprisonment OF nine years
and ten months at separate and solitary con-
flnement at labor In the Eastern penitentiary.
Criminals are naturally inclined to think
badly of city where they are dealt with in this
vigorous manner; and to seek more congenial
quarters. 1t is safe to say that no such swift
and severe punishment ever reached a criminal
OF this class In our courts. OF course with an
overloaded docket and the peculiar forms of law
here 1t is not so easy a matter to administer
quick justice, but with the recognized courts it
is believed that great progress can be made in
this line; and it is hoped in the same connection
that the Judges will try the policy of admins
tering sentences of wholesome severity as
means of dispensing the vicious gang that now
infest the city. Our judges are all right as re-
CARDS probity and learning, but they need to
harden their hearts a bit.
