In is rumored that the diver engaged
to recover the bodies from the steamer
Scioto has sold himself to the ship COM
panies and instead of bringing the dead
bodies to the surface, showed them out
from the hold in the vessel SO that they
might float down the stream and make
the loss of life appear much smaller than
it really is. If this should appear to be
the case little lynch law would be In
order. Both the diver and the persons
who melted him to the act should be
hanged to the nearest tree. No imagi-
nabie punishment seems great enough
for such ghoulish outrage on the re-
that in this enlightened age any one
brutal enough to commit such an outrage
should be found within the pale Of a
civilized community. If such there are
the community should rid itself of them
at any cost.

OF all weak, pliable tools Keller is the
worst. The man has not brains enough
to know what independence means and
is disgrace to the house of representa-
tives. Why republicans do not get so
thoroughly disguised with his littleness
as to completely ignore him passes COM
prehension. He must be as devoid of
self respect as o. good sense and must
earn the contempt of those il whose in
terests be thinks it is his duty to act.
An able partisan IN the chair may pro-
woke indignation but would not invite
contempt. 4 more utterly worthless pre-
siding officer than the present speaker
could hardly be found if special effort
was made in that direction.

BENNETT IS free thinker but one apt
to bring advocates Ct free thought into
disrepute. Some time ago nan named
Comstock wrote decoy letter to be-
nett and the latter sent something
through the mails which comes under the
head of obscene. Bennett was prosecut-
ed and sentenced to eleven months i'm
prisonment and President Hayes refused
to pardon him. He had acquired some
notoriety and a subscription enabled him
to make trip around the world. This
week he delivered lecture in Milwaukee
before cultured audience and made use
of such obscene language that the ladies
quit the hall. Freedom of speech should
not be construed as license.

The efforts of Delaney to put himself

The efforts of Delaney to put himself
in Bragg's place are untiring. He dis
plays considerable diligence in making
a clear path to congress and gives evil
dence of skill in managing the machine.
But Delaney is altogether too anxious.
There is no one demanding his election;
his ability is not such as to press his
claims upon the people. He cannot fill
Bragg's place and every one knows it.
He is pressed by no consideration but
his inordinate desire to be a congress-
man and if he secures the nomination ii
is because Of his shrewdness as caucus
manager. He has allowed the desire to
be congressman to take complete pos
session of him, and he has become its
slave. He will prove ferment until his
wishes are gratified or until he has his
aspirations squeezed out by being sal
mon.

IT is the opinion that the star route
cases will be decided sometime during
the week and also that the thieves will
be acquitted. Every obstacle that could
be thrown in the way of the prosecution
was employed by the defense and the
present cases go to prove what has al
most passed into proverb that the big
thieves always Escape punishment. A
man who would steal a loaf OF bread to
save his family from want would have
nothing to expect from the leniency of
the laws. 1t is as Scion saids "Laws
are like cobwebs; the large flies will
break through but the small ones will be
held"

THE landlords of Ireland have formed
an organization designed to counteract
the effect the land league is having. A
stock company with capital of several
million dollars has been organized. Any
landlord wishing to work his own land
will be furnished with the necessary
funds, the land being taken as collateral
security, or the company will rent the
lands and work them. The lands in any
town in which parcel is left without a
tenant because of boycotting, will be
taken entirely from The tenants and
worked in one of the two ways indicated
The scheme has been suggested by ar
Irish landlord, q hneal descendant o.
some of the old Irish Kings.

Mrs. ABRAHAM LINCOLN died at Spring
field Ill. on Sunday evening last. The
immediate cause of her death was the
bursting of blood vessel in the brain
which caused paralysis. For long time
her mind had been somewhat unsettled,
she having never fully recovered from
the shock received by the murder of her
husband. At one time she was sent to a
private asylum and received treatment
which improved her condition considera-
bly,. Lately congress voted her pen
sion of So, 900 per annum.

THE Springfield Republican in its
usual crisp, direct style shows just how
voluntary the contributions are which
committees demand for the party's good.
In 1880 all government employees were
told that the committee knew they (the
employes) would ''esteem it duty and
pleasure" to contribute 2 per cent Of
their salaries to the campaign fund to
carry the state of Indiana. After the
October election further assessment of
enc per cent was made. This much to
be contributed;to the national committee.
Then the state committee made its de-
nands. To those who failed to respond
another circular was sent containing the
hint which fully coroborates the assertion
of Mr.. Hubbell that the contributions
are wholly voluntary: 1.-The republican
state committee respectfully invite your
immediate attention to this matter and
hope TO hear from YOU without further
delay"
To those who were still diletory in
responding, another circular was sent
still more pointed and further incorrig-
Utility was met by the issuance of cir
cular to the heads of government offices
stating that such and such persons had
been asked to contribute but failed to
comply and requesting the immediate
attention of the officer to the existing
state of affairs.
The voluntary character" was shown
in the issuance of three circulars, each
one being more urgent and threatening
than its predecessor, and finally the COM
plant at headquarters, where punish
ment might be melted out for disregard
of the polite requests to donate ''volun-
tarily" one-sixteenth part of salaries to
prevent the democratic party from re-
turning to power. This is what Jay
Hubbell is doing now and has the eff
frontery to denounce any person who
questions the means employed to
strengthen the hands of the party
whose tool he is.

WHAT the people should demand above
all other things is the prosecution of the
star route thieves. There can be no
question that the government wants to
save these scoundre,s and nothing will
compel vigorous prosecution but the
demand of public sentiment. Let the
people quit shedding sentimental tears
over the dead Garfield and cease their
interest in Guiteau's bones. The men
who defrauded the government are in q
fair way to escape punishment through
the reluctance of the government to do
aught to hurt men who had filed high
places.

ARAB BEY is said to be man of no
great parts. If this be true it is another
of the many instances of man with lit
tie brilliancy rising in conception and
action above men more highly gifted.
He is not a great man. perhaps not a
wise one in thus provoking the hostility
of so great power as England, and then
continue to defy it and brave the worst
she can do. There must be something
supremacy humiliating to man who
loves his country, to find that country In
the hands of board of control so rs to
secure payment of debts to private par
ties,-practically taking possession of the
country on national mortgage.
Arab raised national feeling. The
fanaticism that always accompanies con
viction in eastern countries led to ex-
cesses which shocked civilization. But
we must remember that the Egyptians
were acting to raise their country to the
dignity of independence. What more
natural than that an attack should be
made on the people of those countries
holding the land of the Pharaoh's in sub
lection? And then the strongest fleet III
the world was unable to appall the Mus
suImans who had risen to the conception
that Egypt belongs of right to men of
their race and creed.
The sympathy of all liberty loving peo-
pie must go out to Arab Bey III this
struggle. 1t doesn't matter that those
men believe their "Allah is God and
Mohammed is his prophet or that their
civilization is not abreast of christian
countries. They want to free themselves
of foreign interference. They want the
creditors of Egypt to be satisfied with
the same securities that other nations
would whose strength commands respect.
