The Party OF Great Moral Ideas.

Nothing worse has ever been charged
by the Democrats upon the Republicans
than is now charged at Albany by the
Republicans upon each other.
Upon the one hand it is alleged under
oath by Republican Assemblyman
that a Republican Senator paid him
$1,000 to vote. for a Republican candi-
date for Sen tor of the United States.
On the other hand it is denied under
oath by the accused Republican Senator
that he paid the money. BY necessary
implication it is charged that the accus-
ing Republican Assemblyman commit
ted perjury. 1t is also charged that the
accusing Republican Assembly man con-
smred with the Republican Speaker of
the Assembly falsely to accuse Re-
publican candidate for the United States
Senate.
Now. in SO far as the political moral
ity of the Republican party of the State
of New York is concerned, it does not
i'll the least matter which of these
stories is true. One of them must be
true. That is to say, either Bradley or
Sessions must have committed perjury.
There is no escape from that. More
over, if Sessions is guilty of perjury he
is also guilty of bribery and of conspir-
acy to bride, since nobody imagines that
it was his own money he gave to Bradley
If Bradley is guilty of perjury, the pre-
sumption is almost equally strong that
he conspired with Speaker Sharpe to
commit perjury in order to defeat the
candidacy of Mr.. Depew, and incident
ally to ruin Sessions. If BraGley's
story is established, the presumption
that Mr.. Depew himself was party to
Sessions crime will become very strong,
though not overwhelming. On the
other hand, if Bradley's story is shown
TO be false, the presumption will be
equally strong that persons much high

1t seems the President is still on the
fence in regard to the campaign in Viz
ginia, though i5 is said there is strong
inclination on his part to help Malone.
Congressman Tucker called on him yes
terday. and, conversing on the subject,
urged him not to give aid to the Read
justers, saying it was a State contest,
and that should the Mahoners be sue
cessful their policy of reputation would
do the State great injury. Mr.. Garfield,
while not intimating what course the
Administration would pursue, said the
matter would be submitted to the Cabi-
net at an early meeting! Alas for the
remnants of Civil service Reform, when
the matter as to which side the Admin
istration will take in a purely local
State political contest is magnitied into
the proportions of State question to
be submitted to and decided by the
Cabinet! Now if Mr.. Garfield had said
what he probably meant, that Blaine
had not yet decided which course
would prove of most advantage to
the Republican party-where the Fed
eral offices in the State would
do the most good, in the hands of
straight-out Republicans or the Mahon-
ers-then it would not look as if he were

truth is Garfield is nothing if not a
trimmer; and Just now he is trimming
his sails to catch the breeze that will
blow him into the White House for a
second term. He knows that matters
at Albany and developments in the
.Star-route" ring and Treasury inves-
LEGATION are but the mutterings of the
storm that will burst when Congress
meets next winter, and if his sails
should be full set, or if he should be too
far out to sea on any course, he might
find it inconvenient, if not impossible,
to avoid the full force of the breeze or
get into harbor in time. His political
philosophy teaches him that it is alto
gether best for him to keep his sails
close-reefed and navigate near shore,
for the present at least. He says there
is no call for being in hurry in defin-
ing his course in Virginia affairs, as the
campaign has not yet really opened;

the future mark the conduct of the Pres

NEWS IN BRIEF.
Compiled from Various Sources.
PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

The committee appointed by the New
York Assembly to investigate the charges Of
bribery made against Senator Sessions have
made two reports, as was expected. The
majority report says that the charge and de-
NAL were both positive and the other evidence
merely circumstantial, and in view Of the
fact that the Grand Jury had taken the mat
ter in hand, it is recommended that no steps
be taken to prejudice the case. The minority
regard as conclusive the evidence that mon
ey has been used to influence the Senatorial
election, but the committee failed to exam
inc Barber, Edwards or Phillips, whose
names were most prominent in the alleged
use of money, and no direct evidence was
educed other than that given by Bradley.
The testimony will be laid before the Grand
Jury.

Something New in Housekeeping.

A novel experiment of the economic
al sort is to be tried in Winchester,
Mass. 1t is proposed to buy there a
considerable tract of land and erect a
number of handsome houses. These,
however, are to be without kitchens,
the odors thereof and the cooks there
in. In the center of the grounds is to
be spacious dining hall, and the kitch-
en- of the community will be there.
The table will be arranged for family
groups or for more miscellaneous COM
pany, as may be desired. Those who
wish entire privacy may have separate
rooms. One of the annoyances of
modern housekeeping will be thus
avoided. There is also a talk of hav-
ing general bedmakers and houseclean-
erS; but private nurserymaids are re-
garded as absolutely necessary, and
there will be no attempt to supersede
these. Now, nobody will deny that
this plan looks beautiful upon paper,
but we suppose that the chances are
ten to one against its success. 1t is
something like the Shaker system, hut
that has community of religious be-
lief to hold it together. Unfortunately,
human beings can disagree as well as
agree, or even better. The plan may
prove financially weak. II Will cci-
tainly afford an excellent opportunity
for fault-findng and dispute. Then
householder likes to order his own dim
ner. and prefers to have it cooked to
suit his own private taste. The condl-
lions at Winchester, Mass, however.
are promising; so we shall wait and see
what comes of the pretty plan. Some

Nothing that is good, either on
earth or in heaven, should be over
looked or despised; nor is it by any
we'll meaning person, except through
inadvertance or ignorance. Sin
oftener originates in inOrdinate de-
sires and misdirected zeal, than in
the acquisition of temporal wealth
or worldly station. Emulation in a
good cause is a generous and enob-
ling feeling that should ever be in
culcated in the young. To it the
world owes most of its triumphs
and the greater number of its vic
tories in art and science, and like
wise in religion 1t visits the haunts
Of the sinful with the fixed purpose
to improve and elevate. It redresses
wrongs, eases pain and suffering,
strengthens the weak and takes the
Sinner by the hand in brotherly
kindness, and points out temporal
safety and heavenly salvation. 1t
directs the dispositions of a Bacon,
the researches Of a Newton, the
philanthropy of Howard and the
patriotism of a Washington. 1t is
at home in the lowest as we'll as in
the highest station of society !;
peasant and prince alike in
their sphere paying difference to
its mandates. In the generous flush
of youth it should be taught contests
in skill and intellect, without the
bitterness of rivalry. A Lafayette,
scarcely arrived at mans estate,
could leave his new made bride, the
Establishments and pleasures of the
gayest, most misunderstanding
and fashionable court in the world,
to risk life and fortune in behalf of
an oppressed people bravely battling
for their constitutional rights,
against proud and powerful foe.
Emulation such as this never counts

elevate and make better all with
whom it comes in contact.

A Mysterious Trunk.

During the absence of Mr.. Dandy, of
Chicago from his home, an intoxicated
expressman called with trunk, and pre-
senting to Mrs. Dandy card endorsed
with the name of Mr.. Dandy's father, who
was away in the West demanded one
dollar Mrs. Dandy refused to give it,
not believing the card to be genuine but
when, later, another expressman called
with the same trunk, accepted it with
some hesitation. When Mr.. Dandy re-
turned home he was satisfied that the
trunk did not belong to him. Very prop
erly he went to the West Madison Street
Police Station and notified the officers in
charge as to the facts. The officers were
exceedingly uncivil and refused to give
him any satisfaction, or do anything in the
premises, although Mr.. Dandy protested
that the case was sufficiently mysterious
to demand their attention.

dlirting and he wanted her to stop. She
wouldn't stop, and told him SO. He got
mad and threatened to thresh her. Blows
were exchanged, and it is said that she
pulled revolver, and, pointing it at him
told him if he raised a finger she would
bore him full of holes. A policeman
was called and the lovers were bounced.
