Speaking of the workingman's protec-
ton against the iniquity of the tariff, the
Louisville C0urier-J0ur1al says: "He is
old enough and strong enough to protect
himself; he has the ballot There is his
safety; the ballot is his, and when he
realizes what a delusion the protective
tariff is, how it only protects capital,
how it increases all necessary expenses,
how it imposes heavier burdens on him,
how it makes his wife work harder and
longer, how it forces him to take his
children early from school, how all this
is done by protection when times are
good, and how, when they are bad,
thousands are turned out to tramp from
city to city, searching for work and
getting none-when this comes home to
him he will use his ballot to right il"

4 petition laid before the United States
Senate a few days ago presents some
facts relating to an instance Of miscon-
duct on the part of the Post Office De-
partment that should not be passed over
lightly. II appears that recently the
post Office at the town of Broadway,
Rockingham county, Va, was discontin
ued, the reason assigned for so doing
being political enmity" to the recently
appointed Readjuster Postmaster, and
that the people did not patron!ze the Of
fee. The merchants and manufacturers
of the town who sign the petition, how
ever, make very different statement, and
show an instance of petty of1cia mean
ness as contemplate as it is lille
gal. The facts of the case are
recited as follows: In January
last John E. Beard was appointed
Postmaster of the village, and soon after
he made an effort to prevent the public
from mailing letters on the postal car,
as clearly allowed by law and customary
everywhere, in order that the number of
letters handled in the Office might appear
greater and thus increase the salary OF
the Postmaster. An order was posted in
his Office from Hon. S. c Thompson,
Superintendent of Railway Iail Service,
threatening to have all lei IS handled on
the car at that point delayed in trans
mission. AS the citizens of Broadway
refused to sacrifice their legal privileges
solely in the interest of the salary of the
village Postmaster, the Office was diseon
tinued. 1t looks as though Mr.. Thomp-
son and the Postmaster of Broadway
might be spared without detriment to
the public service. Their conduct is
outrageous.

1t turns out that a tariff commissioner
ship is likely to be a good thing. Mr..
Carlisle, OF Kentucky, stated on Satur-
day that a manufacturer had said before
the Ways and Means Committee that if
person were selected as commissioner
who could not afford to work for $40 a
day, he, as a manufacturer, would deem
it his duty TO pay him additional money.
IL the salary provided for in the bill
shall not prove tempting to the fright
kind" Of men, the intimation of the
aforesaid manufacturer may improve the
bait For such big Job" as the COM
mission viii contract TO fix, there should
be good pay, and it is eminently just
that the protected monOpOlists should
come down handsomely. At any rate
the places provided by the bill are not
likely TO 60 begging.

While the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Sergeant Mason is
anything but conservative, few will re-
greet that the price Mason must pay for
his leap into notoriety is not to be lessen
ed. The indications are that his exem-
plar, Mr. Charles ]. Guiteau, will fare
equally hard before the court in banc.
Mr.. Reeds mental gymnastics in behalf
of the assassin are of high order, but
the Washington Judges do not appear to
take to the esthetics of the law. From
all appearances, Guiteau would do well
to persevere in the work inaugurated sew
eral days ago, with the assistance Of his
religiously disposed visitors.

The New York Sun says: ''The coali-
ton in Virginia which Malone invented
and managed as political speculation
may be said to have collapsed. The
elements Of which the coalition was com
posed were too incongruous TO adhere
together long after the spOils had been
distributed. Malone and Riddleberger
have succeeded in getting seats in the
Senate, some Of their principal lieuten-
ants have been pad Of with Federal and
State patronage. and Cameron is Cover
nor. The honest rank and file, who were
inveigled into the business, became dis
gusted long ago, and sufficient number
Of them reYolted in the State Senate to
prevent the consummation of a scheme
to gerrymander the State into Congress
sional districts for the benefit of certain
Readjuster politicians. Little doubt is
now entertained that the people of Viz
ginia win repudiate the repudiator and
bis crew at the fall election"

1t is now given out that Chalmers,
who gave place to Lynch, the cream
colored contestant from the Shoestring
district, is turning his eyes White House
ward, and is prepared to lead the ''Libe-

is said to have called on
Chandler, and to have received
that woIthY's encouragement. Chal
mers was a very respectable Demo-
crat, although extensively advertised by
the Radical press as quite the contrary.
1t is to be hoped that the report of his
meditated flop" is baseless. There can
be no doubt, however, that he can find
favor with his former traducers if he
goes in for dicker.

The Mayor Of Chicago has vetoed the
ordinance permitting the stringing of
wires in that city for the purpose Of
lighting streets and houses with electric
ity. The chief grounds Of objection
were that this ordinance contravened
the ordinance requiring wires to run un-
dergrOund after January 1st. 1888, and
that they would be an impeachment to
the working Of the fire department, and
would endanger. on account of the
strength Of their current, the lives Of
persons liable to come in contact with
them. The veto was sustained by the
newly elected Council unanimously.

1t is common enough to hear the
Expression from the lips of a fresh
young miss whose bright eyes mirror
an innocent aud peaceful soul, and SO
suggestive is the phrase that one
naturally thinks of exuberant girlish
vivacity, life and love, whenever it is
heard. 1t is an idiom peculiarly their
own and to hear it from a weakened

to awaken unpleasant sentiments or at

Barbarous Brute torture.

to look at a miserable mule tortured
most outrageously and numerically
by having the very sinews and leaders
Of his shoulder worn through until

Of raw and putrid flesh aud watery
blood. No instance of equal barbarity
has been known here since the cruelty
to animal society began its operations,

ence indeed. Inspector Lane dis
covered the wretched animal at work
10 a team belonging to Mr.. p. Hag.
gerty, who lives seven miles south Of
the city, and whose teams AT
work in the city are smanaged
by persons employed for the pur
pose. The proprietor was arrested
and with the animal was taken before
Squire James Coleman about four
o'clock yesterday afternoon. He sub.
mitted bis case to the Squire and a
fine Of $50 was imposed, that being
the extent Of the law. Squire Cole.

wing OF the severest penalties, and be

for we're it five times more he would

The cast was appealed to a higher

that the latter said in extenuation o.
bis action, that his extensive bust
ness required bis closest attention al
his farm and otherwise, and that the
suffering brute's herFid condition wa.
not known TO him until the drive
was arrested By mr.. Lane.
