President Arthur is credited with the
declaration that no threats Of compulsion
must be used by Hubbell's committee in
the collections Of campaign funds from
Federal employees. Mr.. Arthur is rather
late in the day expressing an opinion on
the subject. II the payments are now to
be entirely voluntary, why does not Mr..
Hubbell call of his collectors and let who
will walk up and settle2-[Courier-J ournal,
The additional school tax which the peo-
pie Of Kentucky are asked to vote on at
the approaching August election is exclu-
sively for the colored people. 1t is only
two cents on the one hundred dollars, and
should be voted without a murmur. The
negroes are among US and will remain. 1t
is to the interest Of the white "a ce as well
as the black man that the latter should be
educated. The better the negroes are edu-
Gated the better and more intelligent citi o.
zens they make. 1t is only just and right
that the additional school tax should be
voted Richmond Register
Hon. C. U. McElroy, Of Warren, has
Withdrawn from the Congressional contest
in the Third district in order that he
might put an end to party discussions in
that county. The district is an exceeding
ly close one, and he preferred to sacrifice
his own ambition rather than strengthen
the enemy by family fight over the nom
ination. No man ever came out Of 80 ma
ny political contests with hands cleaner
than Clarence McElroy's. lie scorns the
tricks, the bargains and sales resorted TO
by ninety-nine out Of every hundred Office
seekers, and this is not the first time that
he has accepted defeat rather than adopt
questionable means to secure success. Even
in politics honesty is the best policy, and
though he may have to wait for reward,
he is quite young man and can afford to
wait. -Courier-J Journal.
Not few Congressman have made an

ing and carrying a personal adjournment
to their own homes. This is an uncom-
Portable season to spend in Washington, on
the hottest and hardest legislature of the
year; but Congress wasted midwinter, when
il should have worked. Every time that
the diminished attendance brings business
to a standstill for want Of quorum, Unjust
tice is done 10 the members who stick TO
their places. 1t might be we'll to revise the
laws regarding the compensation Of menu
beers so as TO make absence through days
session, from any cause except prolonged
sickness, punishable by docking Of pay.
This would diminish the application Of the
pairing process, by which two Congressman
of opposite parties avoid their duty; and it
would also be realized by a practical expe.

the dog days does not lessen the RESPONSE
bilities OF attendance New York Sun.
A long-suhering country demands that
Mr.. John d. White shall be conspicuous
in the Forty-sighth Congress by reason OF
his absence only. He retired after his
first term for the reason, as he himself de-
clared, that he might cultivate sense
enough to be Congressman. From lack
of capital, or because Of poor cultivation,
he has made no progress toward a consum-
nation so deyoutlY TO be wished, and the
young man must be given another chance.
1t is the prevailing opinion that Matt.
Adams is the man to jump Johnny from
position he can not Gil and in which he
can only rattle around TO the annoyance of
all sensible men. As turfmen would say,
he has gone lame; in fact he has gone
hop-step.and-go-fetch il gait from the very
start in public affairs, and there's no rem
edy but to send him to grass for another
season. Matt. Adams is the man TO knock
down the fences and turn the cranky colt

hope that Mr.. KendalPs patriotism will
