The Rev. M. j. Savage of Boston
preached a sermon on newspapers.
"People often hold" he said, "that the
world is more wicked now than ever
it was before. An explanation of this,
[ believe, will be found in the fact
that n man who is not so utterly
alone and SO far away that what he
does and says cannot he reported as
news is safe to-day in the commission
of crime, for the chances are that very
soon he will see his name in a news
paper telling all about him, and this,
if you think of it, is the one thing
that the average man fears more than
he fears God, more than he hopes for
heaven, and more than he breads
hell" On the other hand. Mr.. Savage
blames the newspapers because he
thinks they are generally cynical in
tone.
In Chicago, the number of saloons
where boys meet, drink and gamble
is so great and the evil so blasting to
the prospects of the rising generation
that the people have formed what is
called a Citizens League, the objec'
of which is to break up the kind Of
saloons referred to. This work hal
progressed slowly, but it has never
theless made some progress. Abou'
the only evidence obtainable has beer
the confessions of the boys to theil
parents or others. This has aroused
the saloon keepers, who have gone Il
the council and secured an ordinanc,
providing for furnishing boy VIII

We are willing to give John G..
Thompson all the credit he aske or
deserves for the late brilliant Demo-
cratic victory in Ohio, and to say
that the Cincinnati Enquirer's
abuse of him is indecent and uncall-
ed for, but do think he has received
enough honor and public patronage
from the hands of the party to mod
estly stand back and permit some
other workers in the ranks to par
take of a few of the "loaves and fish
es" that may come up for distribu-
ton. Don't "hog the persimmons"
Mr.. Thompson, if you please.

Governor Charles Foster was on
the train on the G. q T. Road last
Saturday evening, being on his way
to his home, in .Fostoria, to rest a
few days after his labors of the cam
paign, and, if possible, recover from
his sad plight. He talked incessant-
ly, and at times incoherently, of the
campaign, the result, and the politi-
cal future. Among other things he
said, he stated that a law should be
passed this coming winter by the
Legislature taxing the saloons $500
each, and $4,000 to keep open on
Sunday. This is the idea of Govern
or Foster on the question of regula-
ting the sale of the liquor traffic, as
he expressed it, and it created a good
many smiles by those ir the car who
heard him.

New York Sun.

For a long time past very little
has been said by Simon Cameron of
Pennsylvania that vas intended for
the ears of the public. Mr.. Cameron
is now "a years old, and since he re-
tired from the Senate, in the me.
m%entous year of 1876, he has not
publicly busted himself with politics.
He ceased to be Senator because he
no longer wished to be troubled with
any responsibility of a public nature;
and he turned the Office, which,
through his absolute domination of
the Pennsylvania Legislature, was
completely at his disposal, over to
his son, Donald Cameron, the pre-
sent boss of that State.
Mr.. Cameron's last act in The Sen
ate was to oppose the violation of
the Constitution by the bill for the
Electoral Commission, and he voted
with the minority against it. He
than recorded his judgment upon
the lawlessness and folly of that mea-
sure; but now the defeat of his par
ty in Ohio has furnished him with
an occasion for publicly declaring
with what mind he regarded the po-
litical status at the time when MI.
Tilden was defrauded of his office
as President, and a fraudulent Pres
ident inaugurated in his stead.
"It would have been BETTER" says
MI. Cameron, elf Mr.. Tilden had
been permitted to be President. If
the Democrats had not been prevent
ed from assuming power at that
time, it would have been better for
the country now, for they would have
shown the cloven foot Just that much
sooner" This is the first public
criticism of the Electoral Fraud of
1876 by a conspicuous Republican
statesman. 1t comes after a great
party disaster: but it is all the more
interesting as proceeding from a man
who arrived at the conclusion at the
time when the conspiracy was form
ed.
Mr.. Tilden was elected to the
Presidency, and was entitled to the
seat which, through the Electoral
Fraud, was given to the miserable
Hayes. Instead Of allowing the re-
suit to be declared according to the
popular verdict, the Republican lead
ers conspired to falsify the returns
from Louisians, South Carolina, and
Florida; and thus they successfully
counted in their candidate. Among
some of the more far sighted Repub-
licans, who regarded as folly the at
tempt of their party to perpetuate
its power through fraud, there was
an impulse to resist this attempt,
and to choke it off. We have long
been aware that Senator John P.
jones of Nevada was strongly in ia
vor of seating the candidate who had
been elected, and was'not wantingin
efforts to accomplish such a result.
But we neve knew until lately that
Simon Cameron had joined with Sen
atoF Jones in this endeavor. To cue.
coed in such ar effort, it was neces
sary that the whole crowd OF desper
ate and audacious Republican man.
ayers should be confronted and over.
awed in the Senate; and neither the
Senator from Pennsylvania nor the
Senator from Nevada was equal to
such a task. 1t needed some one
who could face, single handed, the
Republican majority, and who would
not shrink from the tremendous re.
sponsibility of driving his own par.

Gen. Arthur is said to feel acutely
what he regards as his desertion by
certain of the leading Stalwarts. A
short time ago Gen. Grant took &C.
casion to declare that he was out of
politics. This has been followed by
a similar declaration said to be au-
thorized by ex-senator Conkling.
Reports are in circulation about the
dropping out of others who would be
expected to stand by the President
and speak a good word for his AID
ministration.

Washington, June 29.-The treasury
department haye discovered quite an
extensive scheme to rob the treasury
through bounty claims. The claims
relate to cases in which soldiers have
died, and they are represented by rela-
tives, such as widows, children, par
ents, guardians. etc. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that considerable evidence in
some cases is fraudulent, and the
authorities fear there have been more
frauds than have been detected.

delegation in the Chicago convention;
and one of the first southern delegates
who came over to Arthur when the

He is a very great admirer of Arthur,

stalwart had doubtless commended him
to the prisoner.
The special naval committee appoint

them to be not less than 5000 nor more

New York, June 20.-The Tribune's

circles are gossiping here Owe the in
solvent letter which MARTINEZ, the
Gillian minister, wrote to Frelinghuy-
sen .some ten days since, just before
he delivered his letters of recall and in
troduced his successor, Godoy.
MARTINEZ has been imprudent
enough to boast of the way in which he
is said to have disciplined Frelinghuy-
sen, and thus far there is no rumor of
any answer from the state department.
1t is hoped that Frelinghuysen will at
least send a copy of the letter to con-
gress as one more contribution to the
Chili-Peru correspondence. Four of
the letters are not of the character
usually addressed to the United States,
but no one can tell what to expect
in foreign policy permeated with the
spirit Of entire meekness and hui
mility.

perate resistance, and succeeded in in
flicting infinitely heavier loss on their
Arao assailants than they themselves
suffered. According to official Egypt
ian figures the number of persons adj
mitted to hospitals reached 1850, of
which 1,140 were natives. But many
more killed and wounded Arabs have

two Maltese, armed with carbines, and
defended by a barricade, together. shot
fifty.
