"Another of Mr.. Hubbell's blunders
is the caption under which the radically
Republican Boston Journal editorilly
discusses The Campaign Textbook" a
work issued under the auspices OF the
Hubbeu committee. OF this book, paid
for out of the funds raised by the bull
doing assessments. our Boston contem-
porary remarks that it is, "like the cam
paign paper which emanates from that
source, a piece of driveling idiocy. One
can see how a man brought up to ma
chine ways could make the assessment
blunder, but how a man having The least
political sagacity could permit such a
pamphlet to go out as a textbook is past
the ordinary comprehension. 1t appears
to proceed upon the assumption that the
voters of this country are not only
ignorant but credulous." That is pre-
ciselv the assumption on which about al
the documents prepared and sent out by
that committee are predicated. The
Journal finds the volume largely devoted
to the abuse of George William Curtis,
who, although an old Republican, has
dared to question the methods OF Hub
bell & Co. The names of Jefferson
Davis and Mr.. Curtis are presented to
the public as those of two men who
should go down in history branded with
equal infamy. One OF the writer's ar,
fragments of these two men closes with,
''Vive la jeff. Davis; vive la George
William Curtis" The Journal indig-
nantly declares that this book is an
nfiront to every intelligent Republican IN
the land. and the Republican press in
,repudiating it is doing the organization
good service" And now let our contem'
porary Of the Hub look out for a deluge
Of choice adjectives, rich with the odor
Of the slums. That is the usual stalwart
reply to any reflection on Hubbell or his
methods.

A USEFUL BUREAU.

One of the busiest, most useful and
prosperous bureaus of the public service
is the Patent Office. Its transactions are
steadily increasing in extent and i'm
portance. As this Office not only pays
its own way, but yields a very considera-
bic net revenue to the Government, it
should be literally treated by the law
makers. But it is a fact that this
bureau is treated with much less liber-
atty than other branches Of the service
whose entire cost is paid by the people.

THE REAL ISSUE.

The defense of State rights, the pres
ervation of local government, the main
tenance of the right of the people to
nominate candidates and hold elections
for State officers, without being COM
PEELED to meet the influence Of the Ad-
ministration and the enormous power of
Federal patronage-this is the issue on
which the Republican party is now
divided. There can be no honest COM
promise in such a contest, for it involves
a vital principle.

LYNCHlNG IN IDAHO.
Two DesperaisOes Hanged From a
Bridge ON Snake River.

Two DesperailOes Hanged From a
Bridge on Snake River.
Sunday night, says the Ogden Pilot, two
desperadoes, known as Johnson and Tex"
who had been loafing around Amer
lean Falls on Snake River during the
Summer, and had incurred the enmity of
the law-abiding citizens, a number Of
whom resolved to run them out of the
town, were waited upon and given until s
o'clock to leave. Suspicion rested upon
them of having murdered the Chinaman
who was found dead in his cabin Sunday
morning. They responded to the citizens
demand to leave by saying that they would
not; that there were not men enough at
American Falls to make them leave, and
thereupon began to shoot into the crowd.
The citizens then procured guns and re-
turned the fire, and the desperadoes fled
across the Snake River, threatening to re-
turn and clean out the town. Returning,
they met the night Waterman, who told
them that they would be hanged. They
then fired three shots at him without eff
feet. He replied with his revolver and
wounded Johnson three times-once in the
arm, once in the body and once in the
hand. Tex" then ran up and tried to
kill the night Waterman, who having used
up his ammunition, grappled with and
threw him down. At this juncture the
citizens arrived on the ground, seized the
two desperadoes, and putting ropes around
their necks, hanged them from the Oregon
Short Line bridge over Snake River. The
bodies were cut down three hours after
wards and buried by the citizens.

Pasha. Sir Edward Msllet advocates the
employment of counsel. He contends
that the delay in the granting OF the ap-
plication for counsel seriously prejndices
the case of Arab, who in the meantime is
being subjected to long and severe private
examinations. The following Pashas will
be arraigned with Arab Pasha for trial:
Toulba Ali Fehing, Mahmond Fehmy,
Abdella Samy, Toulba Yakoof, Omar
Rahmy, Ali Ronby and Said Bey GAN
deele. The list of prisoners awaiting
court-martial has been handed to the
British Consul General. 1t contains 1l3
names, exclusive of the prisoners in the
provinces, who number 80. The exam
ination of Arab Pasha was continued to-
day, and it is understood that he ably
defended himself, denying any completely
in the massacres and in the burning OF
Alexandria. He boldly indicated his
conduct as the leader Of a national party.
He said that when he reached Cairo, after
his defeat at Tel Ell Kebir, and found the
inhabitants unwillin, to continue the
struggle, he Immediately bowed to their
will and surrendered.
