A DISGRICEFUL BEGIVNTyG.

The Ohio Democrats have begun their cam
paign in a disgraccful manner To all appear
anccs their candidate for Governor purchased
his nomination. Not one Ohio Democratic
voter in one thousand ever heard of John w
Bookwatcr until few newspapers were fur
nishcd with substantial reasons for tIumpeting
his praises shortly before the State Convention
met All that is known of him now is that he
lives in Springfield, has IL lot of money and is
building an opera house. In Ohio when "A man
has more cash than he knows what to do with
and wants to advertise the fact, he builds an
opera house. 1t imposes on the lamentations
of his fellow-citizcns. They know that the in
vestmcnt will be Improbable, and conclude
that he must be fabulously rich to be willing to
throw his money about into such loose and lib
eral way Politically, Mr. Bookwatcr is Il no.
body Of the nobodies. He is so obscure that
even his Democracy questioned in the Con-
vention. His nomination was brought about
by secret methods savOring strongly Of bribery.
Lest these should fail, the galleries of the
theatre where the Convention met were packed
with hired shouters brought into Columbus by
the train load to hurrah for Bookwaltcr and to
drown with clamor all opposition to him. The
delegates who desired to speak in favor of
other candidates could not make themselves
heard, because of the rumpus raised by Book
walters forces
The platform is Il monument of impudence
and falschood Almost every positive dcclara-
ton III 1t is in direct contradiction to the acts
and principles of the party in times past
Either the Democrats of Ohio are trilling with
the truth now when they say they believe these
things, or they are cOnfessing that they were i'm
the wrong i'll previous campaigns when they
said they did not believe them. On the first
supposition, they are unworthy of confidence :;
| on the other, their conversion is too sudden to
entitle them to ask for power at the hands of
the people whom they have hitherto tried to
lead astray.
Let us what they say First, they favor
" the equality OF all people before the law
Yet they are the same party which opposed with
bitter persIstency the gift of emancipation and
equal civil rights to four millions of American
citizens. "Unpolitical legislation is their
next demand. Yet their party has never failed
when in possession of Congress or of State
Legislatures, to subordinate the business of
law-making to its partisan needs and schemes
" A free and pure ballot-box" comes next
This from a party which struggled for two
years in Congress to remove the safeguards of
Federal law against false naturalization, false
| registry, fraudulent voting, ballot box stufling
and intimidation! A little further on we come
| to Il condemnation of the last Republican Legis-
lature for recognizing the benevolent in

THE IOTE TODIY

This is to be, in many respects, the most
critical day in the long contest excited by
the conduct of Mr.. Coukling in quarrelling
with the President and throwing up his
place in the Senate because he could not have
his own way in that body. Yesterday his
followers divided in the Assembly on the
proposition Of the Democrats TO adjourn the
Legislature Saturday. Thirteen of them
voted with the Democrats for adjournment.
justifying by this act the worst accusations of
treachery which have ever been made against
them. Nine voted with the Republicans against
adjournment and the motion was defeated
but the Stalwart managers, conspicuous
among whom was the Speaker put forth
their utmost efforts on the floor and succeeded
in making two bewilGeIed and ignorant men
change their votes, which gave the Democrats
a majority of one. If the Senate should adopt
the same resolution day the Legislature
will end its existence tomorrow.
The worst that has ever been charged against
Mr. Conkling's adherents and himself is now
shown to be true. The people of this State,
by every possible expression of opinion have
shown that they accepted his resignation and
no longer desired his presence in the Senate
as the enemy of Garfieds administration.
Thirtytwo men, to all appearance, are
party of this State, and they have thus far
persistently defied the will of their constitu-
ents and shown their contempt for the interests
of the Republican party at large. A por-
ton. of them yesterday pushed their trea-
son and desperate folly so far as to en-
ter into an offensive alliance with the
Democrats against the Republican party
of the State and Nation. Ii remains to
be seen whether they can drag into the same
disgrace those of their former associates who
yesterday flinched from the final act of nfamy.
To-day will decide two things whether the
Senate will follow the lead of the Assembly, and
whether the Conkling men who yesterday showed
enough sagacity and honor to resist the ex-
| ample of their reckless and INSCRIPTIONS as
| sociates will now carry their independence
| and public spirit to the point of voting for
| Senators who can be elected, and then going
| home to meet the plaudits of their con-
| sttuents
| Their action in this matter involves the
heaviest individual responsibility of their lives

treated the Prince to prosecute the so-caled

IN IN1DEOV1TE PUNISHMENT.

At the last meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton two prominent teachers, one of them the
principal of a Grammar School and the other
vce-principal, were fined for purlOinng
examination papers and using them for
the unfair advancement of their pupils
and incidentally to their own credit and
the comparative discredt of their fellow
teachers. More shocking crimes might be
committed, but none more despcable.
Such an act cannot be looked upon as a tenn
porary weakness-a thoughtless yielding to the
stress OF some unforeseen and overmasterng
temptation or breaking down before some
sudden gust of passion. 1t is deliberate per-
fdy-a old-blooded breach of professional
honor. If the charges were fully established,
Commissioners Dowd, Walker and Wickbam
were right in demanding that the offenders be
dismissed from the service But why
they should he retained in their posi-
tons and deprived of their salaries for
three months does not appear. 4 fine might
well be eXacted for the transgression of some
bylaw or regulation established by the Board,
but the payment of Il certain number of dol
lars Will hardly atone for AN act of fragrant
immortality. The Board by its action practi-
cally brands the teachers as guilty, and then
proclaims that men whose characters are
tainted with dishonesty are good enough to
have charge OF the city's children, or mt least
that they ave good enough provided they are
made to pay for any dishonorable act in which
they allow themselves to be detected. The
children see all this. They know the Judgment
which has been passed upon principal and vice
principal. VIII this deepen their reverence for
their teachers l. it valuable moral lesson
for them to see every essential distinction be-
tween right and wrong ignored and what i,
honorable and what is base confounded by the
controlling council of the system under which
they are instructed
This is an unpleasant matter to talk
about, and it is unpleasant because no one
likes to contemplate dishonorable conduct.
If the teachers are innocent, they have been
most crnclly treated If they are guilty they
should be dismissed at once

A little old-time buster has been heard in
the House of Commons. The Secretary of the
Admiralty remarks rather effusively that six
British ironclads are quite sufficient to cope
with nine Frenchmen of the first class. In
idle vauns of this sort the English will be
easily outrivalled across the Channel.

The best news every morning for every
American comes from the same quarter-the
White House. The Presidents condition is still
as satisfactory as the most sanguine of the
surgeons in charge could hope for. The fever
which recurs every afternoon is now less pro-
bounced and causes little discomfort.

also bring release to the gallant ship herselI
wherever she may be embedded.

A man who deliberately plans an assassi-
nation forty-fve days before he makes the
dastardly assault, who goes about town exam
lining arms, and when he has purchased ps-
tol weeks III advance of his crime practices
firing at a board SO to improve his marks
manship, who dogs his vic inns steps, follow
ing him one day into church and selecting a
perch where he can fire at him on the follow
ing Sunday, who watches for his man in depot
on the street corners, and wherever he is
likely to meet him, until at last he runs him
to earth, is sane enough in all conscience. The
complete account which District Attorney Cork
hill furnishes of the assassin's movements
from March to July 2 renders the theory of
insanity utterly untenable. To believe it al
most implies insanity in him who believes.
During the progress of the last International
Exhibition the anniversary of the storming of
the Bastile was chosen as the day of the great
National fete, and since that time the 18th of
July has been recognized as the greatest day
In the calendar of the Republic. 1t is holt
day without memories of heroes, for the man
who gave the signal for the attack was Camille
Desmoulins, one of the leaders of the mob
was a recreant priest, and the successful COM
mander who received the key of the gloomy
fortress was a pastry cooks son who had read
Noltalre without understanding him. 1t is a
better day for holiday than the 10th of
August when the Tuileries was sacked, or the
21st of September, when the First Repub-
lie was proclaimed, but there was an after
noon in June, when the Third Estate united
i'll the tcnnis-court oath, which would have
had more of the historical suggestiveness of
an American independence Day.

Conflicting reports of the winter are re-
ceived from different quarters of the Arc
tic Seas. From Spitzbergen comes the
report that the weather was unusually
severe, and that the ice will not
break up until late in the summer. From
Behring Strait the news is that the conditions
of navigation are unusually favorable, and
that the vessels which are searching
for the Jeanette will find open water earlier
than was expected. The good news comes
from the right quarter. The milder weather
which opens pathway for the rescuers may
