concerning it might be of interest to your

from tdrre, the Dutch for wheat. Washing

ent Says he: "This name was given, we
are told, in former days, by the good house
wives of the adjacent country, from the in
veterate propensity of their husbands to
linger about the village tavern on market
days" 1t has grown into an important place
of some seven thousand inhabitants. There
is probably more wealth represented here
within radius OF five miles, than in any
other district of the same extent in the
United States. There are at least twenty
millionaires who have here their summer
residences, and some of them stay the year
round. The following are the names of
some of these magnates: jay Gould, Geo.
L. Kingsland, Cyrus w. Field, E. s. Jaffray,
the dry goods merchant; w. $. Skeel, the
tea merchant; David Dows, who controls
largely the grain traffic of New York; John
I. Terry, partner of Governor L. ID. Morgan
John Anderson, the tobacconist, recently de-
ceased, and John Z. Hall, who, during the war,

Injun Jim was one of the noble red men
of the forest, who lay basking in the sun on
the banks of the beautiful Paw Paw, when
the first white man pitched his tent upon
its borders, and sought to build him home
for his wife and little ones, among the soil
tudes of then unbroken forest. Jim was
large, athletic, powerful specimen of his
race, and when well enthused with fire water
usually undertook to run things his own way.
1t was ever his special delight to intimidate
the weak, destroy the virtuous and disgrace
the fatherless. Years rolled on and after
Paw Paw had advanced sufficient in civiliza-
ton to become circus town, one pitched
its tent upon its beautiful green one day
and proceeded, "a usual to exhibit not more
than one-fourth of what their flaming post
ers contained. Jim, with the vast throng
that crowded the streets, wendell his way
thither. Once inside, the Indian was struck
with wonder and amazement, and for time
was quiet, but at length he began TO enthuse,
and created such commotion among the
animals and clowns, that the circus men
forcibly elected him from their midst, and
left him bleeding and dying, as they sup
posed, without. Jim, however. soon rallied
from his unconscious condition, but his
heart was SO filled with remorse ut the
thought Of being overpowered 10y such un-
worthy foes, he hid himself away in the
forest and soon after died. His spirit went
the way OF all bad Indians, and thes came

no REASON poR ALARM.

A dispatch states that Dorsey is evil
IDENTIFY not at all alarmed because of the
star route prosecutions, since he is 1t pres.
ent negotiating for the purchase of the
finest house in Denver, as residence. We
know of no reason why Dorsey should be
apprehensive. Certainly the way In which
the star route proceedings have been con-
Quoted has not been calculated to frighten
anybody hut the public, who might well
fear that the evil doors would escape.
Dorsey, however, being defendant in the
case, is naturally not alarmed. It is never
the defendants in Government prosecu-
tions who suffer. In fact the star route
defendants have been 30 fully cognizant OF
this that they have never taken the least
pains to conceal their light heartedness.
and it is therefore surprising that any as
constituent should now be expressed at
Dorsey's nonchalance. 1t is good many
wears since the Government left off con-
yicting the thieves who plumber it, and
when their operations have been particu-
larly bold it generally looks as though the
Government itself was rather apprehensive
of being convicted. Dorsey has nothing
to fear. The only people who have any
reason TO tremble are the taxpayers, and
their case is hard.

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.

Fuller information regarding the per.
sonnet of the new Tariff Commission only
confirms the impression that it is intended
to be high protectionist organization,
and that nothing good can be expected
from it. As to the plant of some of our
contemporaries, that the Pacific coast has
been sha5bily used in being denied repre-.
sentation upon the Commission, we are in
clined to think that it is just as well so.
With body SO constituted it would have
been idle to expect any salutary results,
and if we had been represented we should
only have been the more disappointed. So
far as can be seen there is not the least
reason to expect an honest or useful report
from this Commission. Whatever eman-
ates from it will be dictated by the selfish
interests of the protected manufacturers.
The people of the United States do not
seem to be represented upon it at all, nor is
there a single member whose name con.
veys any assurance of ability, or good
faith. The President has ostentatiously
selected unfit men, and as ostentasiously
rejected eminently fit ones who were to
be had. 1t is perhaps the worst chosen
commission of the kind ever brought to-
gether, and the only thing that can be
said for it is that its report cannot either
surprise or disappoint anyone, because its
bias is notorious beforehand.

Two more assassinations are reported
from Ireland. A landlord and his military
escort, dragon, have been shot from

never heard of an Irish agrarian murder
yet in which some such defense for the

IriEh people are not approvers of these
detestable crimes be believed by those
who see and realize that the assassins in
all such cases are encouraged to perpetrate
these crimes by the assurance that their
countrymen will never give any informa-
ton that can criminate them, to the au-
thorities. The escape up to the present
time of the assassins of Lord Frederic
Cavendish and Mr.. Burke is by no means
SO discreditable to the police as it is to
the Irish people, for it is well understood

A QUEER AFFAIR.

1t appears that scheme for a lecturlng
tour with Jesse James as the subject, is to
be seriously undertaken, and that the first
lecture has already been delivered. The
lecturer is described as an illiterate person
who mangles English grammar, and who
merely gives a sort of catalogue of the
crimes Of his hero. 1t is extremely doubt
full whether this novel enterprise can be
made to pay expenses outside of the border
States. In that peculiar and little under
stood region, where q murderer aud thief
can be a prominent church-member, and
where clergymen join in sounding his
praises when he is dead; where Governors
enter into " negotiations with such char
acters, and journalists print fierce articles
denouncing all who have been concerned
in the effort to suppress the worst band of
cut-throats that ever infested country it
is perhaps possible for the widow of Jesse
James to draw considerable audiences when
she appears on the platform and "weeps
copiously while the lecturer is going
over the affecting list of her late husbands
murders and robberies. 1t is indeed quite
impossible to say what may not be done in
that wonderful region, which combines the
pleasing peculiarities Of Ireland under
the Whiteboys with those of the Scottish
Highlanders during the palmy days
of the Mosstroopers and Rob Roys,
and the people of which cherish
no effeminate prejudices against assassina-
ton or highway robbery. 1t is interesting
to note also that even while this lecture
enterprise is being inaugurated, another
bold bank robbery has been committed in
Missouri, and that rumor credits it to
Frank James, the brother of the late Ia
mented Jesse. Perhaps Frank has not so
speedily 'gone back on his recent pro.
mise to Governor Crittenden or perhaps
the negotiations with the Governor
have fallen through, in consequence of his
unreasonable parsimony. Clearly, how

fresh bank robbery would surprise none
of his friends and neighbors. and it is by
no means impossible. that they would
think more highly of him for recurring to
the occupation Of his sportive youth, than
if he accepted pardon from the State,
and tamely set himself down to obey the
laws. The obvious deduction to be drawn
from these episodes is, however, that there
are regions in the United States which are
to-day almost as far removed from real
civilization as the interior of Africa, and
that the public school system, if it has had
any existence there, has thus far counted

life, but they have not yet produced
marked changes for the better. Society
neglects Literature, and no society which
does this can be really highly cultured.
The mere spending of money upoh per-
sonal adornment, whether in houses, horses,
carriages or clothes, is vulgar, and nothing
else; and yet this continues to constitute
almost the highest happiness known to the
majority of our prosperous class. OF q

THE MORAL OF THE JAPANESE IN
DEMNITY,

The Senate has once more refused to
agree to the repayment of the 500, 900
which has been dishonesty withheld from
Japan during some fifteen years. There is
no explanation or defense of this. The
objections made by Senators to the repay
ment were either impudent or trivial, or
both. In short the only indication af-
forded by the incident was Of positive
reluctance to act honorably where the re-
payment of money is concerned. The
New York Ecening Post points out there is
one moral of this affair which deserves
more consideration than it apparently re-
ceives. 1t is that if the Government ex.
hibits so shameless disregard of its own
moral obligations, the people cannot be
expected to maintain 8 higher ethical
standard in their dealings. This is true,
and it is doubtless one reason why such
brazen frauds as the McGarrahan claim are
forced upon Congress year after year in
defiance of condemnation and exposure.
The morality of the government in de-
mocracy will be eventually the morality Of
the majority, and if the government is dis
honest it cannot hope or expect to
be dealt with from a lofty moral
plane. The Civil Service system which has
so long obtained has done great deal to
corrupt national morals, beyond doubt,
and the constant resort to trickery and
fraud in politics has reacted upon business
morals disastrously. Nor can it long be
pretended that the morals Of the govern
ment in democracy are worse than those
of the people at large. In regard to the
payment of the Japanese indemnity it
might fairly be suspected that the disregard
of the plainest moral obligation shown by
Congress in this matter was really the re-
Election of prevailing sentiment, inasmuch
as the indemnity has been due for many
years, and yet has been withheld by sew
eral successive Congresses, all acting
equally without justification. In fact cases
of this kind seem to warrant the ascription
to the American people of very low moral
tone, and if such an accusation is not
justified it will be very difficult to explain
the cause of the refusal of the Government
to meet its just obligations, and of the in
difference of the people to this and similar
exhibitions of dishonesty.
