into the support of his visionary schemes,
he accuses them Of being in the pay of the
railroads ! This is poor retaliation, and
We assure Mr.. Streeter that the newspapers
can stand it If he can. Look at the rca-
soning: Because the newspaper will not
consent to turn society upside down, en-
courage strikes and mobs to stop the BUSH
ness Of the county and destroy the prop
erty of manufacturers and railroads, and
thus assist to elect Mr. Streeter to the hon
orabIe and responsible position OF Cover
nor of the great state of Illinois, therefore
they are corrupt and have been subsidized
by the railroads What kind OF reason
ing is thats
The honest truth of the matter is, that Mr..
Streeter is not honest. He is not honest in
his charge against the newspapers, and he is
not honest in his support of this anti-mo-
nopoly scheme he talks so much about.
He has had too much to do with newspa-
pers not to know that those who conduct
them are as honest as other classes in the
community He is too much of monop-
olist in land, fancy cattle and bank shares
not to know that the men who conduct the
great business enterprises of this enterpris-
ing age are just as honest as other people.
Mr.. Streeter seems to be after scalps; but
we assure him that he will wear at his belt

who are engaged in newspaper business

order to attain this end they have decided
to call a judicial convention. Now the
simple facts Of the case are that the present
incumbent, Judge craIg is in every manner
a satisfactory man, and it is the desire OF
the bar and many citizens of the district to
retain him. But the party managers de-
sire a republican and not for the reason
that he is better man, and figure that
they can whip enough votes into the party
fold to elect their neminee. The outcome
Of the entire matter is easy to see. The
convention will offer chance to scheming
lawyers-who have no reputation or ability
to recommend them to the position, but
are possessed of political infuence-to OBJ
tain the nomination by methods purely po-
itical. If one of the men succeeds in OBJ
tanning the nomination-and it is more
than likely that one Willie will be bound
to aid in return those men who assisted
him to the nomination and to whom he
must have made promises in order to get
their assistance. This would be the legiti-
mate result of a party convention and it is
not the way to uphold the honor and dig
nifty of Ethe judiciary. Judgeships has no
place in party politics. and the partisan
that drags the ermine down from the bench
to sail it in the filth of party caucus, both
dishonors his party and endangers the just
administration of the laws

SHEPHERDS TESTIMONY.

Shepherds testimony has these salient
points: His experience with Hurlbut, his
relations to Senator Blair and his interview
with Blaine. He explained his famous
bribery letter to Hurlbut by sayinghe knew
him and knew how he must treat with him.
The suggestion of pecuniary interest made
to Hurlbut in what Shipherd called his very
artistic letter, was made to protect the
company from the secret hostility Hurlbut
would exercise unless restrained by share
OF the booty. The bride, in short, was
was given to make him honest. Shipherd
was anxious not to mention Senator Blair
by name. He said he had employed GER
tain Senator on sccount of his personal in
timacy with Blaine. As to the relations
between Blaine and himself he represented
that Blaine showed a deep, genuine and
serious interest in the scheme, and after it
had been explained, promised to take such
diplomatic action as Shipherd requested
The statement was rather sensational,
and was heard with the keenest interest by
all present. Shipherd was evidently I'm
well, but talked with his accustomed fluen-
ey and GOODNESS. Blair is very much embar-
raised by Shepherds talk, and is in great
quandary as to what he should do about it.

THE OLD WAY.

In times past hanging was only one
means of taking the life of condemned
man, and was esteemed by far the pleas
ATTEST one. Many methods, mere or less
horrible, were in vogue and they were all
enumerated and the executioners fee
named. From records in the State archives
of Hesse- Darmstadt, dating back to the
thirteenth century, it appears that the pub
lie executioner's fee fer boiling a criminal
in oil was twenty-four forins; for decapi-
tating with the sword, fifteen forms and q
half; for quartering, the same; for breaking
on the wheel, five forms thirty kreuzers;
for tearing a man to pieces, eighteen flor
ms. Ten forms per head was his charge
for hanging, and he burned delinquents
alive at the rate of fourteen florins apiece;
For applying the Spanish boot his fee was
only two florins. Five florins were paid to
him every time he subjected refractory
witness to the torture of the rack. The
same amount was due for branding the
'ign of the gallows with red hot iron upon
he back, forehead, or cheek of a thief"
Is well as for cutting off the nose and
EARS of a slanderer and blasphemer." Flog
ring with rods was a cheap punishment,
is remuneration being fixed at three fiorins
thirty kreuZers.

MASSACHUSETTS AND TaE CHINESE.

| The Massachusetts statesmen find it diff
/ ficu1t task to breast the strong torrent of
anti-Chinese feeling prevailing in the re-
| publican party, which carried the antrim
migration bill through the senate, and a
| little difficult, too, to reconcile their theo-
ries with the practices of the Massachu
sets people. Twelve years ago the CAPT
| talist shoe manufacturers of North Adams
in that state, forgetting their clap-trap
| about protecting the wages of the Ameri-
can workingmen against foreign cheap la
Dor, did import lot of this foreign cheap
labor in the form of 75 Chinese shoe-mak-
ers to take the place of that number OF
American mechanics. What became of
them it is not easy to make out Mr.. VII
lis of Kentucky, in speech in the House,
asserted that the manufacturers, after us
ing them to bring their striking operatives
to terms, turned them off to take care of
themselves; 1.-The Cinnamon were driven
from the village" said Mr.. Willis, land
this proved that the humanity OF the East,
when put to the test is as much opposed
to this class of immigration as the human
ity of the West" The Boston Adcertaser
which may be taken as the republican Or
gan of the Massachusetts manufacturers.
attempts to contradict this statement by
saying that "the Chinese were not driven
from the village but remained there peace
ably during the whole term for which they
agreed to come. and left at the end of that
time, not by compulsion, but because they
could do better elsewhere"
This is not very satisfactory. Leaving
because they could do better elsewhere
may equally explain the departure of China
men from San Francisco before the fury of
the sand-lotters, or the negro exodus of two
years ago from Arkansas and North Caro-
lima, which provoked such an outburst of
philanthropic sentiment from the Massa-
chusetts republicans. If the North Adams
Chinese met with the hospitality and toll |
Grafton they have right to expect from
the speeches of Massachusetts statesmen, |
it is inexplicable that they did not remain
and send for hundred thousand of their |
to locate in the Happy COM
The speeches of Massachusetts states |
men, the pages of Massachusetts newspa |
pers and the proceedings of Massachusetts
furnish most refreshing and at
tractive displays of philanthropic princi-
pies and motives; but when we recall the |
fact that during the war Governor Andrew
refused to allow Virginia negroes to be
brought to that state, and its people EN-
applauded his action, we are
forced to conclude that the Massachusetts
espousal of the claims of what are called
Inferior races means the inf1iction of them
IN other states, rather than on itself. AS
vas asserted in the recent debates in con-
sress, the people of that philanthropic
would not flock to their
coast and open their arms to receive an
of one Or two hundred thous-
md Chinese or negroes.-lMissOuri Repub-

speeches, system of the proceedings, OF
practicabi1ity about the methods to be pur
sued. There was a sort of impression thai
| there was wrong somewhere about The
transportation business, and the delegates
differed about equally as to whether the
railroads, the Commissioners, Gov. Cul
lom or the republican party was responsible
therefor. While the general charge was
indefinite and vague enough, the specifica
lions and particulars seemed insubstantia
and difficult of naturalization. The work
of the Convention finally eliminated, how
ever, IN series of high-sounding resolu-
tions which are likely to prove, as such
resolutions usually do, sounding brass
and tinkling cymbal.-
1T may fairly be said, that the Conven-
ton has probably done neither harm nor
good. Ii the uncertainty as to what might
be done alarmed anybody, their fears may
now be allowed to subside. while they re
tire to their virtuous couches and sleep the
sleep of the just
sonnet of the Convention could plainly dis
cover some of the relics of Grangerism,
and of the subsequent Greenbackism, with
"a slight sprinkling of Socialism. It need
not be apprehended that these impractic
ables, even if they are supported by some
honest, well-meaning tillers of the soil,
will acquire very numerous following in
this State, especially where their political
purposes are SO evident
The above gives fair representation of
the force and makeup of the convention.
Many of its members were delegates of al
liances in the counties represented, and
were thoroughly honest, personally and
politicahv. Upon such the socialistic
element viii have but little influence.
We could not determine If the luminosity

was most directed againt the railroads, the
Commissioners, or the editors of Illinois.
Each of these got slaps in the face about
equally; and, we persume, about as justly
to the Commissioners and the railroads as
to the editors.
Watching Mr.. Streeter closely, we could
not avoid the conclusion that he has de-
termined in his own mind to again be q
candidate for Governor; and having failed
as granger and greenbacker, be now
places his hopes of success on the anti
movement, and therefore Is ex-
pending his energies to make it the excite
ment of the hour, disregardless of the dam
age he may do the great transportation
companies of the state, and through them
