Editor Morning Netos: No incident
since the war has marked more favora-
bly, the patriotism of the Democratic
party than the quiet dignity with which
the Democratic Senators maintained
their constitutional rights on Monday in
the election of President pro tenapore.
The contrast of their self-possession in
the consciousness of right, with the fly
like activity of Mr.. Edmunds, who
sought to annoy them by buzzing here
and there in noisy but harmless man
ner, is worth popular attention, as in
dlcative of the purposes respectively
held in view by the two parties. The
one striving to govern our constitutional
principles, to which the other runs
counter on sectional issues.
Impartial history records the Demo
cratic party as ever on the side Of
the Constitution, while from the be-
ginning their opponents, by whatever
name known, have striven for con-
solidated government; and now,
strengthened by the triumph of victory
in great civil war, they seek aggran-
dizement and perpetual power, by con-
stantly bringing to the front sectional
issues that were settled by the war, or
principles of higher law" as they
term il, drawn from political or religious
preiudices (perhaps from both) to over
ride the Constitution.
OF this high law" school, Senator
Edmunds, of Vermont, is a pronounced
type. Hidebound in the self-conceit of
his individual opinions, and differen-
tial to the smallest degree in the
narrowness of his sectional ideas, he
furnished, on Monday, in his petty
attacks upon the constitutional position
Of the Democratic Senators, an illustra-
ton of the lttleness that shapes the
method of these Radical members of the
Republican party, who can see nothing
good outside of their own gathering.
New England is unfortunately still
abundant IN such righteous descendants
of the Puritans, who make their own
faith and morals by free readings of their
own desires.
From such contrasts Of motives and
m6hSuEeS, dS SuOWH IdSG AOuudy Wy INC
Democratic Senators on the one side, and
Mr. Edmunds on the other, the Demo
cratic party comes out triumphantly al
ways 1t is to be regretted, for we are
Lot illiberal in our sympathies, that the
Garfield Republicans did not decidedly
shut up Mr.. Edmunds, and at once man
fully recognize the constitutional situa-
ton; but for the benefit of our own side,
we cannot be sorry for it, as it intensi-
fed the noble Democratic sentiments
with which Senator Bayard crowned the
issue of the contest In his own success.
Senator Edmunds has evidently learned
no lesson from President Garields
death.
DEMOCRAT OF THE OLD SCHOOL.

Fever In Massachusetts.

The medical professors and authori-
ties of Massachusetts are alarmed at the
recent appearance of the troublesome
diseases, malarial fever and typhoid fe-
yer, from which the State has heretofore
been virtually exempt, and they are en-
deavoring to ascertain the cause of them.
All physicians in the State are notified
to report every case of typhoid fever
coming under their observation. This
disease is prevailing to unusual extent in
the eastern part of the State, the very
quarter that ought to be exempt from it,
and thirty cases have been reported in
Nahant, and a panic in that beau
tiful peninsula is the result. The
physicians do not know whether
to attribute the disease to bad air,
bad water or bad drainage, and
the object of the reports they are re-
quired to send in is to detect the source
of the infection. Malarial fever prevails
in various places, chiefly along the riv-
ers, and the people attribute it to the ire
quent dams built for manufacturing
purposes on the streams. A mill pond
seems a prolific cause Of this fever, and
it is noted as a singular fact that it invs-
riably appears on the west bank of a
river some time before showing its presI
ence on the east side. In every case of
typhoid fever the State Board of Health
sends an inspector to examine the situa-
ton and condition of the place where it
exists, and on the facts thus reported the
board will form its opinion.

The END OF THE WORLD PREDICTED
IN THE BIBLE Many predictions have
been made as to the approaching end of
the world, but, unlike most of the
prophets, DR.. Howard Crosby, of New
York, rests his prediction upon the Bible.
His Sunday evening expOsltions of the
Book Of Revelation are attracting pecul
lar interest, and the congregations who
listen to them are induced ~ the knowl-
edge that DIR. Crosby il one Of the best
Greek scholars and Biblical students
now living, to place much confidence in
his Interpretation Of book Of very deep
mysteries. He is now giving an exposi-
ton of the part of the Revelation which
relates to the present age of the world.
According to his view but two periods of
prophecy remain to be fulfilled, the first
extending from the completion of the
present period in 1890, thousand years,
and constituting the mIllennial age, and
the second extending from 2290 to the
year 8, 900, at which time DIR. Crosby be-
lieyes the end of the world will come.
There are few eminent Biblical scholars
who venture to announce Scriptural au-
thority for a specific date as to the end
of the world, and therefore DR.. Crosby's
predictions will attract very general at
tention. 1t is consoling also, as it gives
us a few thousand ears breathing time.

OF Indian railroad laberers a Mexican
letter in the Chicago Times says: THE
Indian labOrer tolls increasingly, but
accOmplishes very little. On shOveling
it would take six Of them to equal one
Irishman. 1t is a new kind of work for
the Indian, and it takes him in his
weakest part. The muscles of the
arms are not developed. An Indian is
strong in his back and legs, and when
it comes to carrying heavy load an
Irishman is nowhere. Some difficulty
has been experienced in familiarizing
the Indians with the wheelbarrow. They
would persist in smashing the wheel and
shoulderiug the load. 1t was easier and
more after the idea of lOcOmotiOn."

LETTER FROM MR.. TILDEN.
He IL Not DESTROYS OF Controlling
ghe Democratic Party.

From time to time during the last few
months Ex-Governor Tilden, it is said, has
been repeatedly importuned by men who
have great faith in his power as politician
to use his influence in behalf of certain
would-be candidates for nomination at the
New York Democratic Convention. These ap-
plicstions, it is reported, have sadly annoyed
Mr.. Tflden, and have elected from him the
following letter:
GLADSTONE, October 3, 1Ss1.-Afy Dear
Sr: i have received your letter stating You
intended to call on me and your inability to
do so.
l should have written to you earlier, ex-
cent for an illness and the pressure of claims
upon my attention during my convalescence.
1t would have been agreeable to me to
have seen you and to have treated you with
that frankness and courtesy you have al
WAYS experienced from me.
In respect to your assurance that you
would not be candidate for nomination IL
your nomination sswould be disagreeable to
me, and be discountenanced by me, +" have
to say that cannot assume any such posi-
ton. have neither the right nor the wish
to exclude you from a Legitimate and hon
orable competition for any public trust. My
practice, when was at the head of the party
organization, was not to become partisan
of any particular candidate, but to conine
myself to such advisory suggestions as
might seem fit and useful during the
deliberations of the convention; to defer
largely to the judgment OF the best men of
the counties found at the convention in
view Of the immediate action on the COM
pick considerations which enter into the
formation of collective ticket need not
say that | have not undertaken any such
function on the present occasion, and have
not possessed myself OF the information to
make me competent to such work. l as
sumo that you have not given credit to the
idle ictions OF Republican and other news
papers which ascribe to me a desire
TO control the nominations and
canvass for the present year, with a
view to becoming a candidate for
Governor next year. The truth is l ran for
Governor in 1874 simply for the purpose Of
sustaining the reform movement to which
had given the three preceding years, and l
should not have continued In the office for
q second term IN any possible event, nor
would | now entertain the idea of returning
to it, even If lattered myself that l would
receive unanimous vote Of the people.
AL desire for the Democratic party in
the coming canvass Is that it shall make the
best possible choice of candidates and do
everything to advance the principles OF adj
ministration to which l have devoted so
many efforts and sacrifices. With cordial
good wishes, very truly yours,
s. ]. TIDEN.

TALMAGE ON THE PIsToL-Talmage
has said many good things, but none
more applicable to an existing evil than
the following:
Another practical use of this great
national calamity is that it has disguised
more than ever people with this free use
of firearms. On the frontier, or if it is
your business as an officer Of the law to
make the arrest of desperate, you had
better be armed, but it is high time that
all respectable citizens snap in two their
sword canes and unload their deadly
weapons. If you move in respectable
society in Brooklyn, or New York, or
Washington, or London, you have no
need of any more weapons than the two
God gave yOu-two honest fists. and
they are easily loaded. If you feel the
need of having pistol in your pocket
you are miserable coward. If you are
afraid to 90 down the street unarmed,
you had better get your grandmother
with her knitting needles to go with you
A pistol is the meanest and most internal
weapon ever invented. 1t is the weapon
of a sneak. / would as soon carry a
toad in my vest pocket"

n Washington there was a woma

In Washington there was a woman
sick unto death, and her husband left
her bedside to look at the President as
he lay in state in the rotunda of the capt.
toll. AS he passed the casket, he pluck
ed from Queen Victoria's wreath half
loosened flower that he knew was a
partly blown tuberose, which he took to
his wife and placed in water at her bed
side. When it blossomed out the flower
disclosed the perfect form of a dove in
the centre. Having never heard Of this
kind of a flower-the Flower of the
Holy Spirit-the revelation seemed mi
raculOus to her, and the lady began to
mend from the moment she saw it, be-
lieving, she said, that it was Christ's
flower, sent from the Presidents bier to
save her.

New York and several other Eastern


New York and several other Eastern
cities are promised a very decided dras
matte novelty this season in the per-
formances of Mr.. George Riddle, of
Cambridge. who has resigned his posi-
ton as teacher of elocution in Harvard
to take the stage. Harvard acted a
Greek tragedy, "The Gdipus Tyran-
NUS" as part of the last commencement
exercises. Riddle was the Gdipus, and
his success in the role turned his atten-
ton to the stage for further honors and
emoluments. Accordingly, a season Of
Greek tragedy in the original Greek has
been arranged for him to air his elocu
ton and Greek at the same time. He
will be supported by an English speak
ing company, so the performance will
not be all Greek to the audiences.

Boston Herald: "The history of the
overthrow Of ring domination in the poll

afford great encouragement that any per-

independence will result from the over

ring breakers have always formed a new

succeeded by another. The cry of the

editorials without reference to the news
must be abandoned" Deacon Smith, of
the Cincinnsti Gazette, sensibly says;
"Long editorials which merely grind
over news should be abandoned. Also
short editorials that contain nothing.
That an editorial is but three lines long
Is no excuse for its existence if it con-
tains nothing. What right has an editor
10 impose even three line editorials of
stuffy nonsense upon his subscribersf

paper lively by columns Of short para
graphs which are a mere hash of empti-
ness"

that ever Cesar tore from the livid broWs

Truth Without Mincing.

The Philadelphia american, the ablest
and the only independent Republican
paper of the Eastern section, says if it
be true that Arthur will replace Window
with COnkling, in that case, "Mr. Ar
thur is about to take a step which will
shatter the confidence the people of the
country have been anxious to place in
him. He is teaching men to ask why
Charles Guiteau should be treated as a
criminal by an administration which
hastens to give effect to the purpose OF
his crime. 1t is not so long since Mr..
Conkling announced that he had no
choice except between murder and sui
eide, and that he preferred murder.
With those words, he began a bitter at
tack upon the man whose memory
is now enshrined in the hearts
of his cOuntrymen of all parties,
and whose death was an incident of that
attack. He left no stone unturned to
blacken Mr.. Garfield in public opinion.
He appealed to the Legislature of his
State for a vindication which should be
an indictment of Mr.. Garfield, for in
gratitude and falsehood, and the Legis-
lature refused it. He has just renewed
his appeal to the people of the State in
which he has been political dictator for
years, and the State refuses it. Will
Mr. Arthur now proceed to elevate this
man to higher dignity than that which
he has forfeited through his unscrupu-
lous enmity to Mr.. Garfield to endow
him with a political influence greater
than he forfeited when the Repub leans
of New York deposed him from his
place at the head Of their party?"

MALARIA. There are fashions in
medical nomenclature. At one time
everything was described as consump-
ton. There was consumption of the liver,
stomach, bowels and brain, as of the
lungs Then everything from common
toothache and pain in the stomach was
described as neuralgia. Latterly, a good
many complaints have been referred to
malaria as a producing cause, where
there is little or no evidence that such an
influence exists. Still, when all due
qualification has been made, 1t cannot be
doubted that we are passing through a
cycle when malarious infection is I'M
usually common. Whether the trouble
arises from the air or the soil, or both,
or from other causes, there is evidence of
the wide spread Of genuine mslarial dis
ease in parts of the country once almost
free from it.

founded on the affections of the people.
He held his followers by motives Of fear
or the hope of reward. He bullied or
bribed them. Hence when his power Of
dispensing patronage was gone, his al

nothing more to him. His fatal blunder
consisted in mistaking the respect paid
