MonfgOInery's Mind.
Post-Dispatcl

INsf-IIkIattII.
Montgomery Blair has written letter on
The Chinese question, In which he does not
mention the electoral frauds Of 1876 or the
claims Of AIr. Tiden on the next National
Democratic Convention. This shows that Mr..
BlalrB mind Is still 10 some extent intact.

SAUL OF TARsUs, before he became Saint
Paul, saw "a great light" shining about
him and was advised not :" to kick against
the pricks." THE CRITIC will endeavor to
shine as "great light" for the benefit of
Mr.. Neal, and would suggest that he re-
member the advice given to the blood
thirsty Saul, which, with the light, con-
verted him into the great Apostle and Saint.
THE CRITIC is exceedingly sorry for the
indignation it has aroused in the mind
of Mr. Neal, and devilish sight more sorry
for the necessity which exists of arousing
indignation" Win Mr.. Neal look at the
rules of his committee? Does he remember
saying to well-known citizen of Capitol
Hill, on the morning that Col. Casey was to
ceme before the committee on the subject
Of the water supply, that "personally..he
would not object to his presence, but the
committee had decided not to allow visitors
to be present at its meetings" or words to
that effect.
The CRITIC wants the District Commit
tee to do something for the District. 1t
knows there are a number Of cranks here
who don't know what they want, and dc
know how to "gab," but the District ia;
numbers of intelligent men far superior in
knowledge of every kind to the satraps Of
Four-and-a-balf street, and the District
Committee can find them. In fact, it knows
them, and can see them at any tine, but Sc
many have been snubbed that they dc
not propose to submit to the process again

THE District government paid the Wash.
ington gas monopoly one hundred and
nineteen thousand, three hundred and
sixty dollars for street-lamps in the past
year. The lamps were lit 1900 hours, so
that for each hour of gaslight the city paid
6ffy,fom dollars and t,centy. fire cents.

PETITIONS are being sent to Congress
every day asking that water should be
supplied to the people of the city free of
charge. 1t should be given to the poor.
Water to them should be free as air. A
plentiful supply of water is one of the best
preventives of sickness, and as a sanitary
measure water should be abundant.
The supply in this city is u bouutiful one
if it were properly distributed, but it is
not One hundred and fifty-fve gallons to
every person in the District flows through
the mains every twenty-four hours. But
it is wasted. Some measures should be at
once taken to prevent this waste. The
warm weather will soon be here and the
Government and private fountains will be
in full play, wasting thousands of gallons
hourly, while. hundreds OF water rate pay
ers cannot obtain the supply they have
paid for.
Mr.. Leede, in THE CRITIC of Tuesday,
claimed that he had perfected plan by
which water could be measured, and each
water taker made to pay only for what he
used. We do not know whether he is cor
rect in his statement or not, but we do
know that while the rich residents of the
West End and the Executive Departments
have water to waste, those Of other sections
cannot get enough to supply their wants.
That perfection of human reason" the
common law, says there is no wrong with
out remedy" Here is an evident wrong
let the remedy be found, and that speedily,
and it will not be complete remedy unless
it gives free water to the poor.

"WHY DO YOU always denounce the
New York papers?" inquiries an esteemed
subscriber In the course of an able COM
munication. Simply because the New
York papers have become nothing better
than conduits for the malignant filth of
small, mean and disreputable men. The
New York papers were founded by great
men-tbe elder Bennett, Greeley and Ray
mond. While these great men lived the
journals they conducted were great like
themselves, not only in size, but in char
acter.
But in the shoes of the elder Bennett
We find noisy mob of characterless Bo-
hemians who leave it an open question
whether the Herald is more ridiculous for
its studpidity than contemplate for its
malice.
In the chair of Greeley we find Whitclaw
Reid, who does not require description and,
if he did, would be indescribable. While
the place once graced by the gifted Ray
mond has been usurped by grinning
chattering brute, something like gray
headed. gorilla, whose malice is equaled
by nothing but his ignorance, and the
venality of whose old age is a fit sequel to
the obscenity of his youth. The name Of
this journalistic baboon without tail is
Jones-George, we believe. The fate of the
Herald and Tribune is melancholy enough
but.they are admirable by comparison with
George Jones' deflement of the grave OF
Raymond. Young Jim Benefits mob oi
Bohemians have damaged only the character
of the Herald, while Whitelaw Reid has
wrecked nothing but the respectability o.
the Tribune. But the venal and obscen,
Jones has demolished alike the reputation
and the revenue of the Times, and ha
destroyed not only its influence but its in
come. He takes the belt.

The Baltimore Sun thus sums up
The political situation in Virginia.
Ii says:
The political situation in Virginia
is anything but encoura ging to Ma
HONE. His coalition is his hope.
His few thousand Readjusters must
in eveey election be supported by
almost the whole mass Of Republican
voters, else his laborious,y construct
ed political machine will 90 to
pieces. He las glued it together
with the cohesive force Of patronage.
Every Office in Virginia over which
he could get control has been en-
pioyed 10 secure the support or ODE
dlence OF locai politicians Of any in
huence, and inssmuch as the Fed err.
al machine endangered his own, he
has secured that, welding the pa
tronage Of the Federal Government
throughout Virginia, and even con-
trolling the quota Of clerks allowed
to Virginia IN the departments at
Washington, Senator MALONE had
grounds for SUPP osing his bosship
pretty secure. But there is every
sign that the coalition, patronage or
no patronage, is breaking up. Offices
arc too few to go around. HIS can
didsie Tor Congressman at llrge is

MAYOR CARTER II. HARRIsoE oil
Chicago has stolen march upon that
usually wide-awake city. A few
weeks ago he quietly took passage
for Ems land, promising to be back
10y October /. No one dreamed the
true object Of his TIP, aud great
was the city's astonishment when the
news leaked out, last week, that he
had been getting married. The GER
emony took place in London, Au-
gust %, the bride being Miss MAR
GUERITE STEARNs, daughter of a
welI-known Chicago capitalist, and
so well was the affair kept secret
that not even the relatives of the
happy couple in Chicago knew a
word about it.

TEE Utah Com missioucrs report
that nnder the EDMUNDs act the
names of about 10000 Mormon vo-
tiers will be erased from the poll lists
The voting population of Utah is
about $4,000, of which not over 5, 1000
are Gentiles. This leayes the Nor
mons a majority OF 5000. Had the
Commissioners construed the act so
as to disfranchise the women, as the
Gentlles claimed the Commission had
a night to do, the Mormon voters
would be in minority. But the
Commission wisely hold that it had
40 right to disfranchise anyone not
living in Polygamy. Az a genera
thing Gentle ladies refrain from vo-
ting, but now, since The approaching
contest will be close, it is likely that
they will be prevailed upon 10 exercire
that privilege for which the strong
minded Of their sex have clamored
60 long and so loudly. If woman
suffrage ia Desded anywhere it seems
that the Gentle ladies Of Utah are
the ones that should desire it most.

tbeits in the Philadelphia almhouse e,
brought about principally through
the watchiulness Of Comptroller PAT
TIsoN. will, it is thought, greatly
strengthen his candidacy for Gov

by the Democrats that there is a

needed at Harrisburg to "ceau

The meaning OF the verdict in the
Star Route cases, says the Baltimore
american, appears to be that RER-
DELL and MINER conspired with
DORSEY and BRADY, but DORSEY and
BRADY did not conspire with them.
At least, that is the opinion of the
three Jurors who stood out for s. w.
Dorsey and the two who stood out
for BRADY and for j. w. DORSEY.
One only stood out for VALE. It
does not require any great depth OF
mat hematios to calculate how these
votes were thus cast by the jury.
Dorsey, whom nine Of the jury sup
posed to have been guilty, was no st
influential with the Jurors. He got
three votes. BRADY, who was alec
believed by ten of the jury to have
made the Star Route pay him hand
somely, got two votes. VALE, who
does net appear to have gotten
enough Of the swsg to be influential,
only got one vote. RERDgLL and
MINER, being comparatively impe-
cuuIous, got no votes. The richer
the prisoner the greater his ioauenoe
with the jury. The moral effect oil
this trial is wholly with the prose
2ution. The fact that brides were
freely offered and we're resieted by
several Of the jury is a confession o
/ guilt. For while we hear Of tn,
brides that were refused, We 30 moi
hear about the brides that we're per.
haps accepted. Yet, even with this
the fact that The jury stood ten To
two fer the conviction Of the chic
offenders js equal to a verdict o
guilty. IL fixes an iueGaceabl,
brand upon each Of the conspirators.
| Yet, it is lame and Impotent con.
clusion that the men whom most o.
tbe jury considered TO be the great.
/ est criminals eeeBpo Tor the Will,
aud tie lesser ones are called guilty.
/ Yet, how could BEEDELL and Mfvtr
coDspire with Dorsey and BRADY
and yet DORSEY aud BRADY not con
5pire with BERDELL aud MSER?

IN his opening speech at Auder-
son South Carolina. few days ago,
Col. HUGH S. THOMPSON, Democratic
candidate for Governor of the State.
said:
I'VE want school system that ia
good enough for tine rich and cheap
enough for the poor. Nothing less
than this will satisfy the demands OF
the times and meet the necessities
OF the State. An ignorant people
cannot long be free people. In
proportion as the structure of a gov
eminent gives force to public opin-
ION 1T ID essential that public opinion
should be enlightened. If a people
expects 10 be ignorant and free, in a
state OF civilization, 1t expects what
can never be. The learning of the
lew is despotism. The learning OF
the many is liberty. An intelligent
and principled liberty is anne, wis
dom and power. We want The fame
wisdom aud power which will come
from the education of the masses.
The church and the school house
must rule this country, and the
teachers In our common schools must
be raised to that plane where they
wall be useful to society.
We shall have to be taxed, he said
either for ignorance or education.
Every dollar taken from the schools
will go to the support OF the jails,
penitentiaries aud poorhouses.

MRS. BooTH, wife and active coad.
jutor Of the Generalissimo OF the SAL
walton aruy, is the daughter Of
lady Of rank who was banished from
friends and home in early life be-
cause che resolutely chose TO mary
Methodist lay preacher in prefer
ence to man Of wealth and position
who was a sutton for her hand. The
story Of this painful epoch in her
mothers life, and the years Of de-
votion that followed, appears, more
than anything else, TO have inspired
Mrs. BooTH TO enter upon the re-
msrkable career che is now pursuing.
Accordingly, ct the age of sixteen
she dedicated herself wholly 10 re-
ligious work, and since then, for
nearly twenty-five years, she has
been speaking in public three or four
times weekly and doing a large share
Of the general executive business Of
the ermy. On being asked how she
could do so much public work con-
sistentIy with her duties as the
mother Of a large family, Mrs.. BoorH
replied: II Did no visiting, and had
no parties. never left ny children
for any other purpose than 10 preach,
and / therefore spent more time with
them, after all, than mothers usually
10. TIE training Of tic family
has upqueslionab.Y been q success
the eldest five children being already
among their father most prominent
and valuable helpers, and all the
younger ones being as thoroughly
imbuel with the one idea Of the
Observation-Disclosures TO God and
mankind.
