Georgia gallantry Will not do to trust.
Mr. Richardson met a Miss Winn at Columbus,
in that State, the other day, and, no one but
the lambert stars being In sight, he up and
kissed her. Not liking the perfervid ardor OF
face, and Just there Mr.. Richardson departed
from the traditions, He returned the slap
with interest followed II up with others OF a
like character and finally wound up the per-
formance by knocking Miss Winn down and
taking TO the woods. II is to be hoped that
this little incident has taught the young lady
lesson which she Will not soon forget.

THE LESSON NV nLLLn

Disgust at lIubbellism ought to be sufr-
cient to account for the signal overthrow
which the Republican party has just suffered
in Ohio. other causes may have contributed
to the result and the liquor question un-
doubtelly had its effect in the large cities,
but the returns show that the disanection
with the ruling party was very evenly dis
trbuted throughout the state, permeatiug
town and country alike. This being the
case the cause of the uprising must bc
sought for elsewhere than in the demand for
freedom to drink beer. We believeit indi-
fully aroused to the evil of the system OF
drawing indirectly from the public treasury
a vast corruption fund to interfere with free
dom of elections. They see that when the
power, influence, and salaries of all the
public servants can be unscr upulously used
to sustain party machine, government by
the people has become shadow from
which the substance has departed. Gen
eral dissatisfaction at the course of the Re-
publican party undoubtedly prevails. The
anti-monopoly movement proves that this
party, which has unintcrruptedly held
power for twenty-oue years, has failed in
the duty Of curbing the overgrown power Of
the corporations which are gathering into
the pockets of their managers the accumu-
lating wealth produced 10y the labor of
our millions Of Industrious workers. The
failure to reduce taxation when the Federal
Treasury is overllowing shows criminal in
difference to the public welfare, since our
taxes are wholly drawn from the masses
and do not reach capital or incomes at all.
One of the most gratifying things about
the Ohio election is the evidence it affords
that the corruption funds raised 10y the Hub
bells are absolutely ineffective as means for
turning the tide against a genuine popular
sentiment. The Republicans have had
money without stint to use in the campaign.
The Opposition have had none. May we not
therefore hope that the result will lead poll
ticians in future to rely less upon the forces
of corruption and to pay more attention to
honest public opinion. Unless the Democ-
racy heed the lesson, this ofr-year triumph
will only delude and ensnare them. They
must prove to the people that they are actu-
ated by higher motives than their adversa.
ries: that they are sincerely in earnest in
the intention of reforming the Civil Service,
restraining the oyergrowth of corporations
and reducing the burdens of taxation.

CHILT AND Peru.

The longer the present distressing state of
affairs continues in Peru the more
will thoughtful people regret the self
elacing policy ON the part of the
United States which has followed Mr..
Blaine's retirement from the state De.
partment. Without committing ourselves
to the doctrine that Mr.. Blaine would be a
trustworthy guide in all matters of foreign
policy, we cannot see how any true Ameri.
can can regret the absolute refusal of the
Administration TO make the commanding in
fuence of the United States subserve the
cause of peace and prosperity throughout
this Western Continent. We cauro,
escape from the obvious fact that
our influence, if disinterestedly exerted,
might long ago have put an end to thu
ruinous war between the South American
republics, who are the natural wards of the
United States. In the family of nations

ties. Peace and good order in Americ, ore

pie, as well as those of our weaker neirhbors.
Humanity and enlightened statesmanship
demand that the influence of the United
States should be actively asserted to prevent
the anarchic wars to which our Spanish
American neighbors are so prone. The
present attitude of our Government toward
the Chili-Peruyiau question is national
disgrace. We have more reason for inter-
vening in South America than England had
for intervening in Egypt, and there is no
dangerous complication like the Eastern
question to restrain us from course of ac.
tion which would he from every large point
of view noble and beneiicent.
