Radical Can't and MOrmOnism.

The Philadelphia Bulletin svows with
owlhke gravity that the Democratic
party IS coquetting with Mormonism
with the view of determining whether it
may not be wise to form an alliance with
the saints to replace the prophesied loss
of prestige in the South. We're it not
for the solemnity of our contemporary
and the vein of characteristic Radical
cant that pervades its deliverances, we
might be inclined to think it was stuff
ing" its readers.
To point its moral 1t assumes that the
Democratic party is on the verge of dis
solution in the South, and declares that
the Radical party has ever been the re-
lentless foe of the mingled fsnaticism
aud debauchery that Joe Smith inaugu-
rated. In common with its kind, the
Philadelphia organ makes the blunder of
concluding that the conditions that
helped Malone to victory in Virginia
exist in every other Southern State. This
is a consoling delusion, aud the organs
will make the most of it. But when the
full results of the debauchery of Virginia
come to be counted the hackers of Ma
hone will regret their work.
The claim of Radical hostility to Nor
monism is the bsldest hypocrisy. For
nearly two decades the Radical party has
had abundant opportunities to root out
the plague. Yet the pest has spread
until its removal is now a weighty task.
True, edicts have been Illuminated and
prosecutions attempted, butte little pur-
pose. When the Federal armies, fresh
from the conquest of the South, were at
the disposal of the Radical party to put
down this mockery of religion and civil
cation. no voice was lifted in favor of its
overthrow.
Both parties have been recreant IN
that neither has done its duty in the
premises, but to say that the average
Republican is more anxious for the root
ing out of the evil than the average
Democrat. is to assume for Radicalism a
measure OF intelligence, virtue and
probity that il does not possess. The
parties are pretty evenly balanced, how
ever We regard them. whether in Con
gress or on the popular vote. In large
fraction of the Radical party intelligence
is at a minimum. 1t matters not why
this is so, the fact is indisputable.
The time has passed for canting drivel.
The Democrats of the United States, no
matter where found, are the equals of
their Republican neighbors in honesty.
industry, worth, intelligence and patriot
ism, and a representative Democrat, in
the view of an intelligent foreigner,
would stand higher in his devotion to
the cardinal principles of the American
system than a like representative Radical
The Democratic party courts no ALI
ance with Mormonism. The masses of
the party would gladly see the pest
stamped out. There is one way to do it,
and but one. Put polygamy on plane
with bigamy, and enforce the law at
whatever cos. When a Radical Con
gress shall enact such a law, and a
Radical President shall execute it, then
Radical organs may claim with some
consistency the merit of a work that
could have been accomplished when
their party was far more powerful than
it is to-day.

The WoOnsocket Reporter, speaking
of President pro tenn David Davis, says
he is going to sustain the Arthur admin
istration as long as it suits him. To
that extent he is Republican. He will
not favor any changes in the officers of
the Senate. To that extent he is a
Democrat. He will not disturb the
present committees. To that extent he
is Republican again. He will vote as
he sees fit whenever there is a tie To
that extent he is an Independent He
will do as he pleases generally, without
regard to either party. To that extent
he is a brick When any party puts its
finger upon him, like the mans flea, he
isn't there In that respect he has no
political status, and nobOdY's confidence
or respect, nor does he deserve either.

A report comes from Switzerland to
the effect that the government of that
country is seriously considering a pro-
position TO prevent any American, who
has stolen more than ten francs, from
entering Switzerland, this to be done in
retaliation for an act of the United States
Government. This would be a trifle
severe upon members of the star route
gang, in case they should take a sudden
notion to visit Europe, for no man would
think of doing Europe without seeing
the beautiful scenery of Switzerland.

The testimony of DIR. FOrdYce Barker,
as an expert in the Guiteau case, is H.
teresting reading. His opinions are
thoroughly defined and abound with
fne distinctions. Moral insanity, he
thinks. is phrase without a
meaning. DR.. Barker does not use
the words, but he evidently regarcs
Guiteau's condition as pure cussed-
ness" DR.. Barker says there is no
hereditary insanity, but only an heredi-
tary tendency to insanity. This is a
correction Of loose thinking and talking
rather than an original opinion. In other
words, the doctor simply expressed cor
rectly what most intelligent people IN
tend to say when the speak of hereditary
insanity.

The general impression is that the pen
sion bill, which was passed by the last
Congress, and which it is now estimated
viii demand at least $50, 900, 900 to meet
its requirements, was passed IN utter
ignorance Of its stupendOusness, and
without any calculation as to its cost. 1t
is well Iikened by a contemporary to the
old bargain made by the owner of a
horse with a blacksmith, viz: that he
would pay for shOeing the animal a
penny for the first nail, two for the sec
ond, four for the third, eight for the
fourth, and so on.

A curious question in criminal law ha

A Curious question in criminal law ha
been raised in Berlin. A young woman,
who is confirmed opium eater. for the
purpose of obtaining supply of NOR
phine, copied a prescription from a
medical book and signed the name of a
prominent German physician to IT. The
question now to be determined by the
courts is whether this act constitutes the
crime of forgery for which she has been
arraigned.

Russell Mccoy. Chief Magistrate of
Pitcairn Island, is in San Francisco. He
asserts that his dot of a country is in
habited by ninety-six of the happiest
persons in the world. The climate is de-
lightful, the growth of fruits abundant,
and the conditions of life generally com
Portable. His own Office is a sinecure,
for there are no disputes of consequence,
and lawlessness is unknown. The people
are Communistic to a degree, sharing
their goods freely with the needy, and
dividing the land equitably. He declares
that none of them would leave the
island.

While there is nothing positively
known on the subject, it is the general
belief IN well-infOrmed army circles that
the verdict Of the Cadet Whitaker court
martial was unfavOrable to the accused,
and recommended his dismissal from the
Academy, but that the review of the
proceedings by the Judge Advocate
General of the army and the report
thereon by the Secretary of War will
result in the President setting aside the
findings of the court and ordering the
reinstatement Of Whitaker.

Mischief in the Air.

We cannot anslyze the aerial poisons that
produce epidemic and endemic diseases; but
the valuable discoveries which have beer
made in vegetable pharmacy enable us tc
counteract their malifc influence. The mosl
powerful known antidote to every species Of
malaria is Hostetters Stomach Bitters, a
pure botanical medicine, in which the fines.
anti.septics, tonics, alternatives and stimu-
lants Of the vegetable kingdom are skillfully
and effectively combined. At seasons of the
year when the atmosphere Is surcharged with
miasma. and whenever the specific virus Of
any infectious disease is supposed to be pres.
ent in the air, this famous corrective should
be taken regularly SIS protective. All who
choose to observe this precaution may bid
defiance to intermittent and remittent fsvers,
and in fact tn all disorders generated by foul
exhalations Of impure water.
