ONE female suffrage shrieker" has
come to her senses. Anna Dickinson has
renounced the principles of woman'5
suffrage in long letter published in an
Omaha paper.

THE Philadelphia Press demands the res
ignation of Senator Don Cameron. We
doubt If the Senator will regard this rs u
sufficient press of circums' ances to warrant
him in leaving Pennsylvania without
Senator
AFTER Frank James surrender, the
dispatches inform us that many "promi-
nent citizens called at his hotel to shake
hands with him. This is right. His
lamented brother Jesse is to have monu.
ment fifteen feet high. They are Mssouri's
heroes.
THE peace negotiations between Chilli
and Peru have broken Off, chiefly, it would
seem, because Chilli declines to allow Peru
to dictate the terms. Chilli is like the Re-
publican party-anxious to gather in and
preserve the fruits of victory. The "Little
Nell of Nations as an able morning cou-
temporary sentimentally calls Peru, is
showing up as an old bawd.
THE difference between the Jury which Will
try Arab Boy and tho Jury which tried tho
Star-Route thieves is that tho former Is OK
pected to convict, and the latter was not
Hdyfisbuf1 Patriot.
Whether the star-Route jury was or was
not organized to convict, this much is cer-
tain A good many of its members were
paid to convict, and only for the presence
thereon of a minority of incorruptible mon,
all would have so voted. But some of them
were not for sale, as the Government agents
discovered to their chagrin.
FROM ARABI's demand that he bo triel by
jury of Engllshmen, 1t would seem that his
popularity among his fellow-countrymsn has
been exaggerated. IL ho wore as has been so
frequently represented, the trusted and re.
spected champion Of a national cause, ho could
hardly, one would think, ask for anything bet
ter than a trial before judges whose highest
interests he had bcen laboring to advance, and
whose gratitude he had fairly earned.-FhiIa-
d6lphid North american.
That's very silly stuff. Arabi undoubt-
edly is even yet very popular with the
great majority of his countrymen, but he
probably has enough vindictive political
and personal enemies at the Khedive's dis.
posal to form the court. Hence his protest.
CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM o. BRADLEY, OF tho
Eighth District of Kentucky, made no public
explanation why ho refuses to run again,
simply saying that his refusal was by reason
OF circumstances which in the main had nc.
crued since tho nomination and which could
not have been at that time reasonably anticl-
pated, and over which he has no control. Tho
chairmen Of the State Central and Executive
Committees approve his action, "beIng &c.
quainted with the circumstances which In.
duced him to retlre."-New York TimsS.
1t might be proper to add, in order to
"round out" the foregoing paragraph, that
William Patterson, Associate Justice of tho
U. S. Supreme Court, refuses to sit at the
coming term "on account of reasons over
which he has no control" The Times is u
great newspaper.
THE character of the men employed by
the so.called Department Of Justice to
shadow the jurors, witnesses aud judge in
the late Star.Route trial is we'll and truth
fully shown by the developments elsewhere
published in regard to the criminal acts
of Henry A. Bowen and Frank IL. Fall, two
of the chosen and confidential agents of
Attorney General Brewster. After these
exposures of their rascality, supported by
indisputable record evidence and tho testi-
mony of the Austin Texas Dispatch as to
Brewster Cameron, that "No twelve honest
men in Texas (where he is we'll known
personally and officially would believe him
under oath,' it Is unnecessary to comment
on the devious and crooked ways of the
miscalled Department of Justice. The in
famous facts speak for themselves.
For THE Attorney General or any of the
special counsel in the Star-Route cases to
take charge of and conduct the examina-
tion into the charges of bribery, or attempts
at bribery, on the part of the chosen and
confidential agents of the Department o.
Justice is shameless and disgracefu
travesty ofdeeency. 1t could only be sur
passed by setting up Bowen, Fall and
Brewster Cameron as committee to in
quire into their own acts. The Attorney
General, II not drunk when he gave such
an order, is afraid that the crime
will be traced to his own door unless 1t.
prosecution is kept in his own hands OF
those Of his creatures. Mr.. Brewster
should recollect that a man who handle
pitch is mighty apt to be defled, and tina
the wearing Of rufiled wristbands will no
prevent it. The order, for it has been given
is the result of corrupt and eravel
fear Let the work of investigating
the corruption Of the Department wher
justice Is dispensed with be entrusted {,
men who are not in the same boat with tn,
bribers-to men who have not been hand
ling the pitch. The American people say
Fiat justitia, ruat c0lila.
