THE Galveston News, which is very good
Democratic authority, says of the attitude
of the Democratic press on the Ohio cleo
ton: The result of the election in Ohio is
pronounced by the Democratic press a
modified Republican success" If to in
crease the number of Republicans in the
Legis lature and the election of their whole
State ticket be modification, it is more
than likely that Bookwalter wants no more

The scare about punched silver coins has
started inquiry as to who does the punching,
and the singular statement is made by
government detective that nine -tenths of the
work is done by Cubans in New York city.
Anumber of coins are clamped together, and
hole drilled through the lot, taking away
one twenty-ffth of their weight. The same
Cubans also carry on the business OF
sweating gold coins by shaking them in
bag. It is said that by this operation 100
eagles will in three hours yield $40 in dust
without being obviously injured.

The Rrahmin.

The Brahmin is an impressive and stately
character in history, and his personality and
religious creed have been greatly admired
by some American scholars for whom Chris
tianity was not quite good enough. They
have striven to make hero of him and pro-
fess to find in his philosophy the best of hui
man wisdom. This idea of theirs, entirely
erroneous, they have impressed upon many
people, and their selections, disingenuously
made, from the sacred books of India, have
been read and received as fairly illustrative
of this strange literature. The real Brahmin
and his books are, however, quite different
from the pictures given us.
A sprightly and vivacious correspondent
of The Toronto Globe, who has lived some
time in India, is contributing to that journal
series of entertaining and evidently we'll
informed letters concerning the Indian EN-
pire and its people. His portrait of the
sedate gentlemen who are of the holy caste
is justly severe. The Brahmin, he tells US,
is always liar. 1t is not blame
worthy to tell lie when an advan-
tage is sought thereby. Lying without an
object in view is repreaensible. Even in
their sacred writings they are taught that
lying and perjury are innocent if Brahmin
is to be benefited. 1T is easy to see who
wrote these books.) Instead of regarding
what you are told as true, as with us, one
has to believe every man a liar until he
proves the contrary. When arguing with
Brahmin, he will advance the most unheard-
of statements unsupported by particle of
proof, and declare his ability to prove them
at once. He will tell you the chapter and
page of an eminent author if he thinks you
have not that particular book with you.
And should you trip him up in contradic-
ton he apologies for his lack of experience
in debate. The falsehood was mere Incl
dent, harmless in itself, and blameable only
in that you had detected it. Ability 10 de-
bate consists in silencing your opponent,
and to this end truth or falsehood may be
advanced with the utmost indifference.
When detected or exposed there is no shame
or confusion whatever manifested. He feels
no moral obligation to tell the truth or alb
stain from falsehood. His conscience does
not accuse him, nor does he feel more shame
than if he had been writing letter careless
ly, or ploughing a crooked furrow in his
field This is the kind of idol that some Of
our theosophists have set up for worship.

JOHN WALTER, the proprietor of the Lon

capitol and the Philadelphia municipal
building are too extravagant and that Phila-
delphia needed good paving more than pal
aces. He thinks New York will have to
draw her water supply from Lake Erie and
prefers the elevated roads to the subterra-
mean of London on these grounds: "In the
first place, you have better air, bet
ter light and better service and
in the second, the uniform cheap
tariff demanded makes them vastly
superior to the London system. On
the underground roads at home the fares
vary as much as those above ground. OF
course each system has it's merits and de-
fects, but give me yours as permanency."

A VIRGINIA correspondent of the Boston
Herald says: "People at the North, who
are inclined to look only at the financial
part of this campaign would be surprised
to see how little the debt question enters in
to it here. There is no party in Virginia that
proposes to pay its debt, and I venture the
prediction that there are not 100 men in the
State who are to-day in favor of paying the
debt, The debt question is not worthy of
being considered by any man who desires to
know the real facts about this canvass. The
Democrats would to-day father the most OBJ
noxious scheme of reputation, if it would
help them carry the State. There are
greater questions than the payment of the
State debt which wait upon the result of
this contest, questions which seriously af
feet the future of this country, and the fu-
ture of the two political parties. The Dem
ocrats understand that it is fight for the
future, and that the success of Malone this
year means the political freedom of half a
dozen other States of the South, now bound
hand and foot to the Democracy by just
such methods as have kept Virginia so long
in bondage

altered temper of our markets, but there in
