Traditional Quarreling.

The quarrels raging in the ranks of both the
political parties in the State of New York give
that State conspicuous place in the minds OF
politicians Some Republicans outside the
State are very uneasy, and are begging the
''Conks' and Administrationists to compose
their difficulties; lest the foxes run away with
the spoils while the lions have each other bv
the throats. But there is no especial occasion
for alarm among the friends of the lions, for if
the lions are raging so are the foxes. Tamma-
ny and anti-Tammany, Kelly and the sage of
Gramercy park, are makingsfur fly from each
others cuticles with promiscuousnes' that is
quite exhilarating to Republicans who are dis
turbed by their own family quarrels.
1t IS not a new thing for New York to be
rent and torn by factions Before the adoption
of the federal constitution, they were at each
others throats, and its party antagonisms have
never been without their fervor of viruence,
and rarely without their little side shows OF
broils within broils. The Federal party. the
friends of the national constitution and of su-
preme power in the nation with Alexander
Hamilton at its head, and ot1icered by Robert
r. Livingston, Gen. Schuyler and the Van
Ransselaers, had hardly developed before the
States Right party, then called "anti- federal
lists" and led by George Clinton, sprung into
existence. Afterwards the anti-federalists
were known as Republicans In 1901, the Re-
publican party was divided into three camps
led respectively by the Clintons, Livingston
and Aaron Burr, and so long ago as then De
Witt Clinton announced the theory that the
principal offices of state should be given to the
friends of the Administration, and the dstri-
button he demanded was secured
The distribution of patronage by the Clintons
created a tremendous furore among the Repub-
licans which resulted in an anti i-Clintouian
faction among which was the Tammany socie-
ty of New York. 1t was then customary for
members of Tammany to wear the tail of Il
deer in their hats from which they came to be
known as "buck tails". Following these were
the National Republicans, then the Wings fol-
lowed by the Republican party.
The anti Clintonians were again divided by
the equal rights party, which opposed all
banks and bank paper. This party was afterward
the "Loco focos," which name, it is said came
thus: The gaslights were extinguished at
meeting in Tammany which they attended,
but they were prepared for the emergency with
loco foco matches and candles. Tho subse-
quent career of this party is familiar to all old
politicians. Between hunkers, barn burners
hards, softs and Free Sellers, Tilden, Famma-

A Fiendish Joke.


81 think" said a we'll known orchestra lead
er, "the best joke ever played in this town was
on an ambitious amateur pianist when Gotts-
chalk was here. The amateurs father was
the owner of a large hall, and offered the use
of it to Gottschalk for his benefit There was
to be piece for eight pianos, and the amateur
was to play one Of the Instruments was
leader. L thought Gottschalk would have
fit when l told him that the amateur couldn't
play three straight notes of the piece"
Hes sure to throw us all out" said I, 'and
ruin the performance
"Gottschalk swore like major, but twas
no good. The bills were out and he couldn't
go back on his programme, even if the gift of
the hall for the night was no consideration for
him. AT last hit an idea that fixed the whole
business. The amateur came to rehearsal and
we praised him up till he thought he was to be
the star OF tEe evening. AS soon as he left we
took the hammers out of his piano and made it
dumb as an oyster. 1 guessed he would never
know the difference, with several pianos going
at once.'
The tuneful convention laughed.
"And just as 1 thought said the leader
hammering on the table with his glass, "that
amateur or his friends never discovered the
trick
''No?"
"No, sir; he just sailed in and pounded on
that piano as it If was the worst enemy he ev-
er had. he was bound to show off among 40
many pianists, and hammered on his key
board until the perspiration nearly blinded
him. Now and then 1 looked at him approv-
lngly, to give him fresh courage, and every
time that l did he gave the piano a lick that
nearly made match-wood of it; his friends all
around threw bouquets at him till he looked
like wedding arch, and when twas all over,
his fond parent fell on his neck In the green
room, and slipped check for $3.50 in his hand
The old man didn't know whether he was
standing on his head or his heels, he was SO
tickled.
"Didn't he do fine,' said he to me, "among
so many frst-class professionals, too"
;, u never saw an amateur do SO we'll in pub
lic,' said I, and what's more, 1 meant it.
Don't you think was right?

A Mistake in Phraseology

The trouble made by the resignation of
the New York Senators has led up to disa-
greeable consequences: First, it has set
bad precedent, and so far injured the coun-
try; second, it has worked hurt to the polit-
ical organization which has so ably and
faithfully administered the government for
score OF years; and thirdly, and lastly and
leastly, 1t has confused political nomencla
ture. The greater evils are too apparent to
need setting forth. 1t is of the lesser one
we propose to speak, and to speak in the
interests of the ''purists" in language.
The supporters of Mr. Conkling have fall
en- into the way of representing the fight
as a contest between ''stalwarts'' and
"half-breeds''. They have no warrant to
do that. As thoroughbred Republicans as
ever were born uphold the hands of Presi-
dent Garfield in this battle; and as strong
"stalwarts" as the travail of the HAYES
administration ever gave birth to are
ranged behind Secretary Blaine. Whatever
may be said of the merits of the conten-
ton between the ''stalwarts" and their en-
emies, "stalwarts' are found on both
sides. The dividing line this time is drawn
elsewhere. The Conkling men have no
right to assume that epithet as peculiarly
applicable to themselves.

perverseness

IT is not often that q man is found
who is anxious for jury to declare
him deserving of death, and par.
ticularly it be happens to be really so
deserving; but such an one has dis
covered himself in Troy, n. Y. King,
who was under sentence of thirty
years imprisonment for killing q
man, and Hamilton, qusfreled soon
after the shooting of Garfield, as to the
fitness of Arthur for the Presidency.
Finally, as they could not agree,
King struck his antagonist with an
axe, killing him. On the trial, after
the jury had been out some time, it
returned for further instruction as to
the difference between degrees Of
murder. King saw there was a dis.
position on the part of some OF the
iurynen to find him guilty of lesser
degree than the first, and az the judge
was answering the questions pro-
pounded by the jury the accused
sprang to his feet, and despite the
effort of bis counsel and friends to
keep him quiet. exclaimed:
Your honor and gentlemen o. the jury,
this was not q murder in the second de-
gree It was o deliberate and premedi-
lated murder. I know that I have done
wrong, that ought to confess the truth.
and that ought to be hanged. I have
done wrong. 1t is my duty to confess
it, and ! cannot help doing SO. I cannot
keep still. plead guilty to murder In
the FIRST degree. It was fifteen minutes
from the time I struck the first blow with
che axe until I struck him the second
time, and all this time kept thinking
I will finish this man. If this is not pre-
meditsted murder, what is it2 / have
already killed two men. What is my
life to me? The life Of either of these
two men whom I have killed is worth
dozen of mine.
The jury retired and it is hardly
necessary to say, Immediately re-
turned with a verdict of murder in
the first degree. King was sentenced
to be hanged on the 4th of next
month. If all murderers were IS
conscientious as this one, thsre
would be less trouble in this world.

deem the public good requires it,"
Violation of the law subjects the
dealer, upon complaint OF any citizen
OF the county before any justice of
the peace having Jurisdiction, to a
fine of any sum not exceeding one
hundred dollars. Selling liquor on
Sunday makes one liable to fine of
$40 for each ofense. As matter OF
course, the money from licenses and
fines goes into the county treasury,
and this being SO, the citizens OF Salt
Lake should insist that the county
pay at least four. iiths the cost of
maintaining the police force. and
bear its share of whatever other ex-
penses are made necessary by the
liquor traffic.
Altogether, this whole business,
from the district court down to the
liquor dealers, looks a good deal like
farce. Intelligent. respectable sa.
loon-keepers know that they should
pay fair license fee for the privilege
of carrying on the business, and
that the traffic should be under
reasonable restrictions; they know
also that the municipal authority and
not the county, should issue the
licenses and maintain the necessary
police regulations, Notwithstanding
any ruling to the contrary that
judge may make; they know that 10
getting a decision contrary to this
plain meaning OF the law, they are
taking advantage OF some technie-
ality or of . judges ignorance or
perverseness.
