On the night following the horri-
BILE slaughter at the Ring Theatre
all the other Vienna places of amuse-
ment except one were open, and farce
and burlesque were offered, or mock
tragedy played, while the real trag
edy threw its gloom over the city
Had a single prineeling died peace
fully, this would not have happened;
but the burning and suffocating of a
thousand citizens in ono theatre did
not suggest a pause in the pleasure
and money-making of the rest. :.

The StaIwart ReveI Ia WASH
inorfHn.

There is now a stalwart revel in
Washington. The men who lisped
the praises of Garfield when he came
in to power, and the men who spoke
of his suffering and death with trem-
ulous voice, are not heard of in the
hotels, or in the streets, or in the del
partments.> His sun has set, and the
fitful worshippers of the capitol who
have praise for every ruler and con-
tempt for every ruler of the past, o
speak of Arthur as the saviour of the
party; the statesman of the age; the
candidate of 1884. Blaine is about
to retire to his quiet home in the
Pine Tree state. Window has gone
and is now his own successor in the
senate. MacVeagh has gone amidst
the jeers of the now triumphant pub
lie plunderers he had the courage to
grapple with while supported by the
president. James is limited to the
New Year, when he will give pace
to his stalwart successor. Hunt and
Kirkwood will be unknown in and
about the administration twenty days
hence, and it is even now probable
that Lincoln will not survive the gen
eral wreck of the policy upon which
Garfield laid the foundations of his
administration. In the selection of
the successors of the Garfield cabi
net, no Garfield man will apply
Democrats will be generously consid-
cred by the new administration when
necessary, but the Garfield republi-
can will ever be a stranger to the ia
vor of the Arthur reign.
The elevation of Arthur to the
presidency is strongly analogous TO
the accession of Fillmore in 1850, af-
ter the death of Taylor. Like Ar
thur, Fillmore was at war with the
president and had a party of his own
in New York. He sought to make
his faction the party, as Arthur now
seeks to make stalwartisin the repub-
licanism of the nation, and Fillmore
failed most disastrously-his party
carrying only four states at the next
presidential election. Then Fillmore
represented the conservative element
or b party; now Arthur represents
only the Grant restoration and the
reversed supremacy of the spoils sys-
TEN. 1 believe that his rule will be
fearfully disastrous to republicanism
and possibly end its triumphs in our
history. With the Independents ele-
ments of repuhlicanism stoutly and
boldly confronting the spoils system
in city, state and nation, and with
hostility to Grant and Grant methods
intensified by the betrayalof the
government from Garfield's reform
policy to the policy of the spcilsmen,
there can be little to inspire the bet
ter elements of republicans to follow
Arthur in his Inauguration of a ma
chine power in every department of
the government. Democratic folly
may save the Arthur administration
and the party from utter destruction
but nothing less can give the new
rule any other destiny than hopeless

The New York Times put the case

The New York Times put the case
in this light:
"No party will ever endure in this
Republic which throws the shield
over public robbery and openly pro-
fits by the wages of corruption. The
reading public of the United States
may not have followed all the devious
windings Of the Star Route frauds;
they may have an imperfect concep
ton Of the magnitude of the bogus
contract system, of the intricate ras-
cality of the straw bids, worthless
securities, fraudulent extensions,
false certificates, and all the other
devices of the ring, which need both
time and study to understand. But
they do very clearly comprehend
that Brady, Dorsey and the rest have
been concerned in transactions which
are no whit more reputable than
those which bring common swindlers
to the P~enitentiary, and if there be
any miscarriage of justice in dealing
with these men because though they
have robbed the Treasury with one
hand they have served the party with
the other, then honest men viii de-
cline to be identified with such a
party"

up the matter satisfactorily to the

considerably, and turning to the la

manner intended to be intensely i'm.
pressive, that Counsel had better be
engaged in other business" that "a

her children"
The words were scarcely uttered
before Mrs. Foltz rose in her queenly
way, and, flashing her blue eyes
straight into the Judges forid face,
she quietly remarked: ga woman

Intolerance.

How much Of intolerance is exhib-
tied in the private and public walks
of life! And yet how foolish and alb.
snrd it is; as if all could think alike.
The same subject is often presented
in very different light, so much so
that the good may be made to appear
bad, when it is looked upon from one
stand point, and the bad good. Why
should not the person who believes
in one God be as much entitled to
his opinion and be as much tolerated
in expressing it, as the other who be-
lieves in three Gods, or vice versa? In
theological and political matters men
form different opinions. Why is one
man worse than the other-more
wrong than the other;and why should
they berate each other on that &C.
count? Alexander Hamilton, who
may, perhaps, be considered the faith.

What Rum Will Do.

Some years ago, in one of the coun-

tempted TO drink until drunk. III
the delirium of drunkenness, he
went home and murdered his wife in
the most barbourous manner. He
was carried to Jail while drunk, and
kept there through the night. Ava
kening in the morning, and looking
around upon the walls, and seeing
the bars upon the windows, he ex-
claimed:
as this jail?"
"Ycs, you are in jail" answered
some one.
What am I here for2" was the
earnest inquiry.
"For murder" was the answer.
"Does my wife know iL?"
"Your wife know it2" said some
one. "Why it was your wife you
murdered"
On this announcement he dropped
suddenly, as if he had been struck
dead. Let il be remembered that
the constable who carried him to Jail
sold him the liquor which caused his
drunkenness; the justice who issued
the warrant was one Of those who
signed his license; the sheriff who
hung him also sold liquor, and kept
