ought to understand that the Democratic doctrins,
concerning the war is that rebel was a. good q
patriot as loyal man. IL not o little better. n
That opening for statesmanshp and common
sense at Harrisburg Is still as WIDE as eyer.
Some of the Democratic newspapers are talking
Of the election of rich men to the Senate as II it
were peculiarly Republican practice. They forget
that Phetus Sawyer who is said to be the richest
man In Wisconsin, may be offset by Mr.. Fair. the
new Democratic Senator from Nevada who is prob.
ably the richest man in that State and that Senator
Brown, who is accounted the richest man In Georgia,
may be put against Mr.. Hale. who Is by no means
the richest man in Maine and whose wealth came to
him long after he had gained political prominence
They forget, too, that the newlyelected Senators
from New-York, Connecticut and Indiana. Mr. Plat,
General Hawley and General Harrison, are not sup
posed to be men OF Large % apS tns IN
and Nj. Edmunds. the question OF their pecuniary
means had 20 bearing whatever upon their election.
The difference between the two parties ~ the mat.
great, but man who has money and nothing else
has as a rule much better chance to get Office
from the Democrats than the Republicans.

William Temple Franklin sailed with them

publishing mt once one of the manu-, cripts,
the autobiography OF his grandfather, Il work

the personal and potic, friends of his rnthcr
and which would have commanded n large
sale. The young man. however, on one pre-
tcncr or another. delayed its publication for
twcnty-s"ven years after Franklin's death. and
then issued it i'll q mutilated form. 1t was
asserted at the time that he withheld
it for so long time and sup
pressed the other manuscripts altogether in
consideration of $4,000, which he boosted
of having made by lucky stroke of BUSH
ness but which, it was alleged, was paid to
him by an cmissary of the British Govern
Incnt. The charge was openly made at the
time, and it is certain was credited by Jrffrr-
son (whO speaks of him as " the parricldc of
his great ancestors memory ~. and by Ben

The only reason for reviving this old charge
is that it throws some doubt on the value of
the papers now offered to Congress- These
are the suppressed manuscripts (; and If Will
lam Temple muiilated his grandfather's auto
biography, as he undoubtedly did. pertinent
question is, how much did he mutilatc the
yet unpublished papersP The manuscripts, if
authentic and complete, are. as Secretary

the property of the Government. Even if
mutilated they should be bought by Congress
but 1t is rs well it should know precisely
what it buys. and look into the guarantees
offered by Mr.. Stevens.

A decision just rendered 10y the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania has some general in
terest in connection with such casualties as
the recent one on the Erie Railroad by which
an express agent and mail agents lost their
lives. 1t seems that Pennsylvania, some years
ago. passed n sort OF ''hmited liability bill -"
much like the one recently enacted by the
British Parliament, the principle of which cx-
cited SO much discussion. The Pennsylvania law
declared that when any person should be injured
or killed while lawfully engaged or employed
ON a railroad train, although he were not an
employe of the company, yet the right to re-
cover damages should be that of an cmploye.
But it contained an exception that the rule
should not apply to passengers" For the
courts have long maintained q rule that
passengers by railroad are entitled to receive
from the companies the highest c.re and pro-

The railway accident at Middleburg, Penn,
bears close resemblance to the recent horror
on the Erie. There was broken rail, the
last car jumped the track, and two passenger
coaches were tilted over Oh their sides.
Flames burst out Immediately, but the WIN
dows and doors were broken in, and all the
passengers were rescued from the burning
wreck. Fifteen of them were injured, but,
under the circumstances, it is remarkable that
no lives were lost.

The Decorative Art Society has wisely re-
solyed to stimulate the efforts of art-wOrkers
by Offering prizes for various designs. The
regulations proposed are sensible, and by
rendering the competitions more definite Will
give all who take part IN them better opportuni-
ties for special study and practical Improvement.
The matter is now under the charge of
thoroughly competent committee, and the
prizes will be awarded by experts in art deco
ration. The exhibition of prize designs will
be rendered still more interesting by the adj
aition of antique and modern stuffs and en-
broideries.
OHiceholders have seldom required Judicial
stimulus to quicken their appreciation of the

in Sullivan County has shown lamentabe
lack of official dignity. When the salary for

for the return of the balance to the treasury.
