They Conclude to Resume Their Posts-Nlob
Violence.
A dispatch dated Dublin, Sunday after
noon, says: The police strike is virtually
ended. Tho superintendent in an inter.
view with the dismissed men advised them
to draw up memorial asking that they
be reinstated, and acknowledging that they
committed breach of discipline. This
memorial will be submitted to the authori-
ties this evening, and there is little doubt
that the men will be reinstated with the
understanding that their grievances will
be investigated.
Several street robberics were committed
Saturday evening. The wounds of several
persons injured in street melees were
dressed at the hospital, but no injuries of
serious nature are reported. About
fourteen persons who were wounded in
street fights are in the hospital.
Five hundred special constables were
sworn in on Sunday.
The mob attacked special constable;
The letter fred three shots and wounded a
man dangerously. The mob thereupon
attempted to lynch the constable, and
handled him so roughly that he is not ex-
pected to recover. The mob became very
violent and was charged by the troops.
Several persons were wounded. Tho gov
ernment Offices arc in tho charge of
troops.
In George street trar.car, in which
special officer had taken refuge, was
wrecked by the mob.
The gunboat Forester has arrived at
Kingstown, where disorders are appre-
hended. The authorities will advertise
for recruits. This action is believed to
indicate that the dismissed policemen will
not be reinstated. At II O'Clock SUNDAY
night the streets were much quieter.

The scandalOus exposures at the Phil
adelphia almshouse are but the logical
sequence of the Pattisonian system of
reform that has made its influence felt
in every department of the municipal
government. One of the earliest acts
of Mr.. PattisOn's official career as con-
troller of Philadelphia was to call atten.
tion to the abuses that he quickly dis.
cerned in the almshouse management,
and to demand that those responsible
for the reckless waste and brazen dis
honesty that he found to prevail therein
be summoned to rigid accountability.
His keen sense and the wisdom of his
recOmme ldations are more than vindi-
Gated in the story of wrongdoing that
has just been unearthed. PattisOn it
was who originally struck the lead that
has just brought about these develop
ments, and in the wider scope that vii
be afforded him in the executive office
of the state jobbers high and low
will have reason to tremble, as the heads
of 80 many of the city departments are
doing now that the controllers work is
bearing its fruit and one of the chief
priests in the ring synagogue has became
afuguitivs from justice, and his rascal.

that PattisoR has succeeded in turning

WHEN Pattison want into the con-
troller's Office in Philadelphia, the tax
rate of that city was $225. The report
he has just submitted to councils shows
that q rate of $l.S5 will be ample to
meet all the legitimate requirements of
the various branches of the city govern
ment for the ensuing year. The elo-
quence of these figures ought to be con-
vincing. Since Mr.. Pattison's incum-
bency the burdens of the people of Phil
adelphia have been steadily lesseBel by
q reduced tax rate. With such an ex-
hibit there can not be doubt that Pat
tison is doing better at his desk than
Beaver can hope to do on the stump. At
least that is the way the people will be
apt to look at it. The Democratic can.

Not an Omco Seeker.

EastOn Argus.
Mr.. Pattison has pursued q dignified,
manly course since his nomination, giving
the same personal attention to the duties
of his Office that he had before his nomina-
ton for governor. He never sought the
Office for which he is now candidate, and
his actions since his nomination show him
to be a believer in the doctrine that the
people should be allowed to make their
own choice from among tho candidates in
tho field. The honor conferred on him by
the Harrisburg convention did not turn
his head or make him to turn his back on
the trust the people of Philadelphia con-
fided to his care, and the good sense he
has shown since he became the Democratic
standard bearer has "won him golden
opinions from all sorts Of people," If he
is elected governor, of which there appears
now to be no doubt, it can be said with en-
tire truth of him that the Office sought the
man and not the man the Office.

Old Enough.

Old Enough.
Doylestown Democrat.
"Too young to be Governor" with a
a sneer, is the way some Republican news
papers speak of Robert E. Pattison, the
Democratic candidate.
"Too young" chi He esecms old enough
to make Philadelphia the best controller
that city ever had; he is just the right age
to say, g forbid" when a thief attempts
to filch money from the treasury on fraud
ulent voucher. This is the kind of man
needed at Harrisburg to put stop to the
plundering of the x-payers, and Robert
E. Pattison is just old enough to do it, and
will do it.
"Too youngl" They who talk thus
forget both history and experience. All
the great deeds of the world have been
done by young men; in every walk of life,
from the battle field to the studio and the
laboratory. Washington was but twenty
one when he made his perilous journey
to the Ohio through the wilderness of Vir.
ginia and Pennsylvania, and only twenty
three when he saved Braddock's army on
the Mononganela. Wolf was but thirty
two when he gave the finishing stroke to
French power in America on the Plains of
Abraham, and Napoleon conquered Italy

took up his pen to write that immortal
Declaration, which knocked the political
shackles from the American colonies, he
was barely thirty-three. William II. Sew
ard was nominated for governor of New
York at the age of Robert E. Pattison, and
Dewitt Clinton was of the same age when
he closed his brilliant career in the senate
of his native state, and was elected to the
United States Senate. Alexander Hamil-
ton was the confidential friend of Wash
ington at twenty, and had made his mark
in the cabinet of the young republic at the
age of thirty.one. Our three greatest states
men, Clay, Webster and Calhoun, were in
the zenith of their fame, and listening
senate hung upon their words, before they
were thirty.six.
Give US young men. They have cour-
age, hope; are not afraid to meet re.
sponsibilities, and have the honest ambi-
ton to make great reputation. Those
who decry young men, are Bourbons of
the Bourbon. The destiny of this country
is in the hands of her young men. They
made her past brilliant; and gloriously
will they fill their future mission. II
Pennsylvania is to be rescued from the po-
litical ianizaries which haveseized upon her,
her immediate future must be intrusted to
young men who have the courage to do
right, and the honestyof purpose to reform
abuses. Robert E. Pattison is the man for

The Philadelphia Press is quite in
error when it assumes to understand
that we have charged that it must ap
prove Senator Mahone's /" arbitrary as
sessments," because it has sustained
him in everything else. It can find
nothing that we have said to justify it
in that understanding of US. It is of
course entirely right for the Press to ap-
prove what it thinks right in Maho2e's
conduct and to condemn what it thinks
wrong. But it is responsible for the in.
telligence and honesty of its criticism.
What we say is that the criticism it has
made upon Malone is not intelligent il
it is honest, or honest if it is intelligent.
In our opinion a journal that has been
able to applaud all the things of doubt
full prOpriety that Senator Malone has
done has no room at all left to it in
which to intelligently or honestly chal'
lenge the propriety of his arbitrary as
sessments." That is all.

BUYING A KAILKOAD.
The Hannibal and st. JOo Sold to q ia
Gould Syndicate.

The Hannibal and st. Joo Sold to y Jay
Gould Syndicate.
Tho control of the Hannibal and St.
Joseph railroad company was bought on
Saturday by a number of men who have
long been identified with the management
of the Union Pacific and tho Wabash rail-
road systems. Among them are Jay
Gould, Russell Sage, Sidney Dillon,
Frederick L. Ames and Washington +.
Connor, Mr.. Gould's principal broker.
This syndicate bought at AZ practically the
whole of the common stock OF the com
pany, which amounted, according to the
last annual report to 81, ,GS7 shares. They
bought about 90, 600 shares. As the pre-
ferred stock is Onlys5, ,OS3, ,O24 they secured
at once the absolute control Of the COM
pany. The sale was made by brokers who
have been carrying about 90, 600 shares Of
Hannibal s. st. Joe stock for John r.
Duff. of Boston, vice president of the road.
Mr.. Duff engineered a corner in the stock
about year ago, but his broker, Hutchin.
son, defrauded him of most of the profits,
and was in consequence expelled from the
stock exchange. Tho Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad had intended to pur.
chase this stock, and had offered 63 for it,
Mr.. Conner secured the sudden callings in
of loans made on it on u basis of 40 to AZ
cents, and when the holders rushed to get
rid of tho stock announced that he was
ready to take it all-which he did along
with big block of the preferred stock.
The sale entails heavy losses, Mr.. Duff &
being estimated at So, 100000.
The Wabash, St. Louis s. Pacific rail
way has long desired to control this
straight line of 206 miles, for over its
tracks must travel nearly all the western
travel on the Union Pacific, Kansas Pa
ciiic, and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroads. The road has three branch
lines, one from Palmyra, NO., to Quincy,
Ill. about thirteen miles one from Cam
eron to Kansas City, Mo-, about fifty
three miles, and q third from St. Joseph
to Winthrop, No., about twenty miles.
The company was chartered in 1S47, and
the main line was completed early in 1859.
The branches were built under separate
charters.
It is understood that a change in the
management will be made. The present
directors. who were elected in November
Of last year, arc Myron p. Bush, of
Buffalo H. II. Cook, William Dowd,
Horace Porter, Elias Root, John r. Duff,
John Bloodgood. A. e. Gorham and VIM.
j. Hutchinson. Mr.. Dowd is president
and Mr.. Duff vice president.

Views Of Department O0eisls.
An assistant secretary of one of the
government departments, while discussing
the question of political assessments said !:
As Tar as l am concerned think the sys-
tenn by which these assessments are made
is bad one, and, while it may assist the
Republican party to prosper for awhile, it
will be used against them elfectually IN
the future" On being asked if he had been
assessed he said he had, but declined to
state whether or not he had paid it
In answer to the question whether those
who did not respond to the circular would
be removed, he replied " l do not think
the secretary would permit any such ac'
ti0n. We are given to understand dis
tinctly that no one will be removed for
non payment of assessments alone. Of
trif1ing charge, when in reality the Offense
mittee. Several such cases have occurred" F."
He then went on to say that the best way

thus be relieved from all the care and
worry about the matter.

the mandate of Jay Hubbeil, and he in
tended to remind them of the circular.
One of the clerks recognized tho collector
and Immediately passed the word to his
companions to look out for the "2 per
cent iiend." All those who had not paid
their assessments slipped out through a
side door, and left the collector wonder
ing what had become of the delinquents.
A state department official said : 1.-THE
state department clerks have not yet been
called on, and will not be, for our people
give campaign collectors but little en-
couragement for their pains. The fact is,
the state department Is not political
department.. We have no d. sire to mix in
politics other than international politics
and questions of diplomacy. All know
about the assessment business is what see
in tho papers, but, as understand
it, they depend Oh the political departments
alone" Another officer, the chief of an
important bureau, said '"There was a
person of the class you ask about here yes

He simply asked for the address of three
or four men, and then went away" Not
withstanding this it is understood that q
collector will give the state department a
call, and get money or know the reason
why.

Journal Logic.

The Journals logic is invincible,
just as whisky logic is always in
vincible, as mule is invincible, at
the reverse end.
The Journal copies from the FREE
MAN, as an illustration, it says,
Though it hasn't the remotest re-
lationship to the point), a little
spat at "our glorious Democracy
negotiating for a ticket that "every
saloonist could vote for without fear
of law or resolutions to revoke"
The Journal always pounces on any
good thing it sees against the Dem
ocrats, like a turkey-hen on June
bug; but we don't blame it for
that.

The Journal, after doing all it
could to force a whisky ticket into
the field against the solemn protests
and prayers of the best members of
it's party, waves and snaps and
cracks the party lash about the
brethren, crying out in pious agony,
"to divide the Republican party is
the defeat of an honest ballot * =
and Of necessity brings sure and
swift disaster to the Temperance
cause"
This Brother must have read
Pauls injunction on this wise ::
"Let us do evil that good may
come"
IT'S too true, that when whisky is

neighbor will some day in the dim
distant future learn, that man
may be Republican or a Democrat
without being a fool. A man
