quagmire. We can easily conceive of it
lending itself to scheme to deceive the
Indiana Democrats as to the condition
of their organization, especially if
Blaine took 81, 900 worth Of the
papers, while the utter lack of disci-
pline and want of intelligent manage
ment in the party in Indiana have long
been notorious with well-informed poll
ticians. Mr.. English was failure, and
to make matters worse he had the i'll
feeling of other prominent Democrats in
the especially Mrs. Hendricks-to
contend against. The party was badly
managed and no doubt had traitors in its
ranks. The Republicans were flush
with money and repeaters, and
whether Dorsey stole or spent the half
million be raised does not matter much.
That the Republican expenditures were
only $4,000 IS not likely, as the Penn
sylvania Pilgrims alone sent more than
half that to Indiana. It has long been
reported that Barnum brought back more
unspent Democratic money from In
dianapolis than was expended by the
party in that state. The Times story
proves as much rascality on the part of
the Republicans as there was stupidity
and treachery on the part of the Demo-
Gratis, and with these three influences at
work it is not much wonder that Mr..
English's state was lost.
VIRGINIA is getting along. The Legis-
lature has appropriated 100000 for a col
ored normal school, and is wrestling with
a local option law.
The Democrats, by heavy majority,
have elected an anti:Monopoly senator to
succeed the Republican Monopoly Senator
Wagner, of New York, killed in the Spuy-
ten Duyvii railroad disaster.
THE New Jersey Senate has passed
the bill authorizing the increase of the
stock of the Central railroad company over
the governors veto by vote of 1G to 5.
The House is a larger body and Gould
may not SO readily get his work in there.
The railroad companies do not always
take the hair of the ticket scalper The
B. s. o. prosecuted one in Baltimore for
altering ticket, and he was acquitted !;
he sued the railroad company for malicious
prosecution and has been awarded Sc, $50
damages.
THE adjourned court of quarter sessions
has adjourned after two days work, leav-
three of the important cases which it was
called to try, undisposed Of The laws
delays are proverbial. but public patience
is becoming exhausted. The next time
important persons are sick let tho court
appoint its own medical commission to OK
anime them.
The indiscriminate enforcement of the
New York law that women employed
in shops, stores, restaurants, etc, shall be
permitted to sit down when not waiting
on customers, has led to the loss Of their
places by many females. Many employ
ers. rather than be worried by the peop'e
who have made it their business to sec to
it that tho statute is enforced, are dis
charging the women aud putting young
men behind the counter.
THERE can be be no doubt that the Er-
dmlner is very modest newspaper, for it
keeps telling its readers so every day.
The people all knew Uriah Heep's humil-
ity, for he was "well aware that am
the humblest person going, let the other
be who he may" With unfailing self
proclaimed modesty, therefore, Gus and
Herbert Spencer will continue to regu-
late the universe aud our esteemed con
temporaries.
THERE is fresh alarm in New York CITY
over the revival of the old scheme of the
city and Albany politicians to cut street
through Trinity Church cemetery, at the
head Of Wall street. The city journals,
with scarcely an exception. vehemently
protest against it, and warn the Legisla-
ture against giving their sanction to any
such undertaking. Old. Trinity and its
cemetery are now impressive monitors in
that busy mart, and for sentimental rea-
sons Of the greatest practical weight they
should be left undisturbed.
THE president and Don Cameron having
" inadvertently got John Gallagher, the
brother-in-law Of a Half-Breed Philadel-
phia editor, appointed to the consulate Of
a Rio Janeiro without knowing what a fat
Office it is, Stalwart persuasicns have in
duced Arthur to withdraw the appoint.

to Mr.. Gallagher's feelings-by losing the |
place that was almost within grasp-will
be mittgatcd by a minor appointment.
The wife Of q Pittsburgh physician has
eloped with a drunken worthless fellow
and her twclve-year- old boy is sobbinc and
