The placidity with which Mr. 1il1ens Democratic
State Committee ignored both Irving Hail and
Tammany and evaded the demand of the Anti
Monopolsts tends to confirm John Keliys opinion
that Mr. Tlden does not desire his party's sue
cess without him. The interesting question which
now comes up is whom Mr.. tilden will select for
the present sacrifice preparatory to his immo
lation in 1854.
There are military critics in American newspaper
Offices who in their hot haste TO have the campaign
open in Egypt,are assuming that the British military
system has broken down completely, and that the
delay in forwarding men and material is nexcus-
able. A moments reflection ought to convince
them that little is to be SAID on that score in coun-
try where an Insignificant Indian raid seldom finds
the army posts prepared for the emergency, and
where the great battles of the Civil War were pre-
ceded by months of inaction and msmanagement.
Moreover, the English soldiers to serve in q
quarter where the climate must be carefully
sdered and special precautions taken TO avoid the
ravages of disease. The regiments will have TO be
reclOthed and their tents refashiOned before they
can be prepared to resist the influences Of equatorial
heat, and unless the utmost pains are taken to rem
der the sanitary arrangements complete the army
may be disabled by disease before the campaign
has fairly opened. We are glad to observe from
Mr. Childero's remarks IN the Commons that the
War Office is sending out 800 men of the Hospital
Corps with strong staff of surgeons and nurses,
that special arrang gcments have been made for the
water supply and that every care is to be taken to
protect the against what will be to them novel
diseases such as ophthalmia In view of these
special considerations the labors of the War De-
partment have heen very arduous The dispatch
of 30 900 men with supplies and material to ren-
force 10 900 men Is of itself great undertaking.

If it should be proved that the fever which
has broken out in the pleasant hotel near Sea-
bright is due to bad drainage there will be
little sympathy with the proprietor, whose
guests are all leaving him in terror. The posi-
ton of the house seems to be such that there
could be no good excuse for imperfect sani-
tary arrangements.
New-York tribune., 1882-08-14

The success of the Republicans in Brooklyn
last year was no doubt due in part 10 the in
difference or antipathy with which young
voters looked upon the claims OF the Demo-
cratic party, even when their fathers were in its
ranks. On the lists of the Republican
organizations of that city will be found
the names of hundreds OF young men
who come of Democratic families. This re-
volt is not confined to Brooklyn. 1t Is spread
ing in this city as a younger class OF
voters approaches the polls. The TACT
is. these young voters have little inclina-
ton to affiliate with a party without
principles, which is the condition of the Demo-
cratic party in New-YOrk to-day. If any OF
this class are halting between two opinions,
glance at the present Democratic situation IN
this metropolis ought to help them to decide
quickly with which party to cast their lot.
The Democrats are so deeply engaged in the
struggle to get more and to keep all they have
that they have entirely forgotten to make even
a show of fighting for principles. Hatred of
John Kelly, of all the feelings that animate
them, comes the nearest to being moral
principle. From the White PurToy gang of
Office holders up to the County Democracy the
handspring of action is the desire for more
offices and more patronage. Some of the shall
low expedientS TO which they resort to catch
popular favor are set forth i'll our local COL
umns. These men do not dare take up Mr..
Tildens old war-cry of Reform, for they well
appreciate how apparent it is that before reform
begins they must all be turned out of Office.
Not only must young men bc disgusted by
this state of affairs in party that seeks their
votes, but it is hard to understand how many
older men, conscientious citizens who do not
want office, can help being weary of politics
without principles. We believe that the Re-
publican vote this fall will show how tired the
people are of mere struggle for spoils
New-York tribune., 1882-08-14

The wise and firm action of the British
Government will undoubtedly have the effect
of queting the dissatisfaction among the Irish
constabulary. 1t was insisted that the men
should drop their threatening attitude before
their grievances could be considered. This
command having been complied with, the dis
tribution of G1S0,000 among the entire con-
stabulary has followed promptly. A harsher
policy might have been attended with serious
results.

Our readers will be interested in the ac-
count published elsewhere in this issue which
describes the extent to which electric
lights are now used. In Europe and
America electricity has made great in
roads upon other means of illumi-
nation, and the use of it has spread
so rapidly that the public has not been able
to keep itself informed. In the article referred
to. each company has been allowed to tell its
own story, and the record certainly is one of
great scientific research and ingenuity, as well
as of vigorous business enterprise.
New-York tribune., 1882-08-14

The only point which the recent shocking
occurrences on the elevated roads seem TO EN-
phasize is that for once the railway
officers and employees are not at all ~
blame. The brakeman who was thrown
over the platform railing is the victim
of n drunken man and the poor woman VINO
was buried yesterday fell before the engine
overcome with nervousness. Unless men are
very much under the influence of liquor, they
cannot be kept out OF the cars and stations
and any arrangement that would eilectnally
prevent passengers from tumbling on the
rails would greatly hinder them from getting
on the trains. a gate running the whole
length of the platform that could be raised as
the gates are in some of the ferry-houses, Is
the only device that seems at all available
and when the stations were crowded persons
would be very easily injured by it. Consider
ing the great number of persons carried on the
elevated roads, the number OF accidents Is
exceedingly small.
New-York tribune., 1882-08-14

Apparently the only excuse WHICH the plou
of the Sylvan Dell will be able to offer for
the collision with the Sirius is that he really
did not mean To bring it about. The lack of
murderous intentions, however, is a negative
virtue, and not likely to encourage pleasure
seekers to intIust themselves to his care.
The Pilot Commissioners ought to be able to
weed out men who do not know enough to
stop their vessels before they come so closely
alongside another that they drift almost in
stantly into her. Another point that needs
investigation is the possibility that the Sylvan
Dell and the Sirius were racing down the bay.
So little can be said in praise OF the police
that it is a pleasure TO call attention to their
recent descent on some opium dens In the
lower part of the city. 1t seems as II the vice
of opium-eatng at least could be prevented
from extending widely in this city. 1t has Sc
cured some toothold here, but not so strong
one but that the dens in which the drug is en-
joyed could be quickly broken up. The en-
forcement of the laws against gambling haV
ing been partly taken off their hands, here is
al outlet for any surplus energy which tie
police authorities may have.
A court in which there are no costs, no
lawyers, no trial, no jury, and from whose
decisions there is no appeal, has some of the
features of an ideal hall of justice. This is
the State Court of Arbitration. How il works
In practice will be seen in an interesting talk
with Judge Fancher which we print on
another page. Some criticism is INDUCED in
because there is no appeal from the decision
of the Judge. But it seems to us that there
would be little advantage in referring a dis

There is little doubt but that it will be wise
for the Assembly to make the Camp of Mill
tary instruction permanent feature OF the
militia organization of the State. But the
wisdom of extending the time during which
each regiment must be in camp, from five or
six days to nine or ten, Is questionable. ms
year some of the men have not been able 10
get away from business to drill at Peekshi'l
with their regiment, and have been forced 10
pay their fne. In case the term OF hstrur-
tion should be increased the absentces VIII

BRIDGEPORT, CONN.,, JAN. 29th, 1882.

BRIDGEPORT, CONN., OANs <OOus ACOls ED. EXAMINER II see in the Saturday (Chicago) Express of Jan. 28th, a communi. cation for which I am credited. Had it not ben for the initials and address given I would hardly have recognized it.
 It looks as if it had been on cowboy frolic and had received hard usage. It squints horribly ; in fact, it's appearance is decidedly disreputable, and savers of bad company, and beg to be excused when refuse to acknowledge it's paternity. The note sent to Jessie Harper along with the call for the signatures of the peo- pie, was straightforward and to the point. I have copy of said note, which is not partizan, factious or egotistical, but speaks the truth, and it's meaning is plain. It endorses nothing but what is true, honest, and patriotic. In it I stated that many thousand Greenback newspapers and doc uments had been distributed by us in this city in the interests of truth and justice ("not hundreds of thousands'') also that hoped the people would "heartily re- spond to the call of zuty and patriotism
 
 poses, or the injury of the cause sacred to every honest greenbacker. In answer to the request for names of earnest workers I referred MT. Harper to our State com mittee, that they might act as it seemed best, and know nothing of any difficulties that need explanation.
 I also draw my pen along the line in the call declaring for the unlimited coinage of gold and silver, as a protest against that which I could not endorse, it being against the just princip ples of reform advocated by the National Greenback Labor party.
 We are in the fight to the end, but only with those who will stick to that which is honest and true. Shifts and expedients have too long ruled our politics, and for 8 present success we cannot and aOiU raot sacrifice true principles. It does not look we'll for the honesty of the men engaged in working up this movement, that they should alter or pervert the meaning (to suit their own purposes) of any communication sent them, and bodes i'll to the success of their plans and to the progress (through them) of the principles of truth and jus- tice.
 I ask you to publish this as I will not have false impression given through any communication of mine, and hope the State committee will take some action in th1s matter of the convention, that we may know and understand each others feelings and endeavor to do what little we may in the interests of long suffering, cajoled and befooled humanity. Yours for justice and progress. SAMUEL MELLoR.

 The virtuous ex-police chief of Hartford is still in the anti-burglar business, having 'scontrived' sash lock and ventilator guard for windows. The object is to pre- vent one class of burglars from relieving the other.
 MT. George D. Haight, it is said, is to become mechanical manager of 8 consoli- dated torpedo company to be soon formed, and do business in Hartford. It seems the present companies have been endeav- curing for some time past to 'blow up' each other, but being unsuccessful, have now combined for the purpose of blowing up some one else.
 What civilization surely; where one poor devil is obliged to earn his daily bread by the destruction of another whom he never saw, and by whom he was never injured. Where are the ministers o1 peace?
 The Grand Union Land League ball al the Rink on the 15 inst. promises to be a grand success, 1000 programmes are being printed in anticipation of the immense at. tendance. There are thousands who long to see successful ball inaugerated in Ire. land, where the dancing would be of an entirely different order.
 The St. Georges Society of Hartford meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month at Central Hall parlors, Central Row. The society is composed chiefly of Englishmen, and the object is to relieve the physical wants of their distressed country men, particularly emigrants and strangers
 It was written, that on the night of the High School fire, the watchman was sick at home. This suggests the existence oi such a critter; but rumor now has it that since the fire, the ianitor has been advised to find somebody who is willing to receive payment for having served that night in that capacity. Is this true?
 On account of the storm on last Monday evening, the drawing of prizes in the Land League lottery scheme was postponed to next Monday evening, Feb. 9th, at Old City Hall. Ov $2OC, however, was turned into the hands of the Treasurer, MT. Wm. Mahon, $175 of which was immediately transmitted to Ireland through the Irish World office. Tickets are yet for sale by the committee. The prizes will be 20 per cent. of the amount realized from the sale of tickets.

this work you are equally interested with every other citizen, for remember that ':eternal vigilence is the price of liberty and "when bad men conspire against jus tice it is time for good men to combine in her defence" Let some one be appointed to stand as sentinel over this measure, have appointed suitable time when all interested may have hearing before the committee into whose charge it is given, and then rally in numbers sufficient to show these honorable gentlemen that there is genuine and wide spread desire for it's adoption, and let your voices resound and reverebrate throughout the walls of the Capitol in tones so loud and unmlstakeable that even the very sleepers cannot fa1l of hearing.

Rev. John Pierpont once indulged in this caustic sarcasm " You have Incense, and that is your plea. I adjure you to keep it; lock it among your choicest jewels; guard it as the apple of your eye and when you die and are laid in your coffin, be sure the precious document is placed between your cold and clammy fin- gers, so that when you are called upon to confront your victims before God, you may be ready to file your plea of justif- cation and boldly lay down your license at the bar of the Judge.

The Plougholder vs. the Bondholder.

AN EARNEST APPEAL FROM A CONNECTICUT FARMER TO HIS BRETHREN. EDITOR EXAMINER Tt is now two years or better since I began the study of the financial situ ation of our country, and will guarantee that any farmer of good common sense, who will give it the same attention, cannot help becoming convert to the doctrines of the third party. We pay the most taxes of any class doing bus mess, and have the least representation in making the laws we live under. I desire to appeal to the farmers of Connecticut to read and carefully study up the financial question, and I am sure their good sense will prevent them from much longer being the slaves of bond lord aristocracy.
 It is impossible for our products to bring good prices when these bloodsuckers with their manifold devices are constantly eat- ing up our resources, but as we have not studied up the question in all it's bearings, we are blind to the manner in which it is done. Do we not want to leave our children something besides a bonded debt and a mortgaged farm, and can it be anything else if we are satisfied to drag along from year to year under the heavy burdens inn posed on us by our tax-creating, plunder- ing lawmakers.
 If you desire to avoid this alternative, my brethren, you must look elsewhere for your political education than the pages of those journals in the interest of the old parties.
 Subscribe for some of our greenback papers, give them 8 fair and unbiased trial, and pledge you that you will not stop until you have mastered the subject for yourselves. No country can prosper where the farmers are ground to the earth.
 The money power is driving us to ruin. I. who have suffer ed the ups and downs of farmers life for the last thirty years, feel somewhat the recognition we deserve at the hands of our fellow citizens. But what recognition have the money lords mapped out for us? Peasantsl This is what their organ, the New York Times recommended a few years ago. Which of us wants to see the day when that odi- ous appellation shall attach to us or our children. But that is their object Let us stop them now right on the threshold. Let us assist the new party that is organ ized to save us from the machinations of the monopoly monsters. have friends and ac- quaintances among the bankers and bond holders, but that does not deter me from speaking and acting the part of an inde- pendent citizen. We are the victims of as great 8 set of robbers as ever plundered and disgraced nation and we should be ashamed of our stupidity in allowing it to proceed so far. Nothing will save us but revolution, the quicker the better, but if we are only true to ourselves it will be bloodless one. The enemy are few, we are many. They are powerful with the money most of which should have been rightly ours. But with clear heads, strong arms, and brave hearts. if we only seek for the truth, the truth will make us free. VIM.

"The Lord iu his inscrutab1e wisdom thought fit to remove our beloved chief magistrate from our midst" and in revenge for the same, our dear Christian people propose to choke poor Guiteau to death. Parson Thompson over at the Capitol a few days ago, in a compensated prayer, hoped the Lord would have mercy on his soul, yet he thanked God that the jury had no mercy on his body.
