makes against the Democrats, and the forci-
ble manner in which he states his views"
The wonder would be that such an address
as General Malone issued should not attract
attention from the party most vitality inter
ested. When Congress meets the Senate of
the United States will be compelled to send
committee into both Virginia and Missis-
sippi and obtain the unquestioned facts. If
what is being published is untrue, the coun-
try should know it, and the South and the
Democratic party, especially, should be
anxious that the falsity be demonstrated. If
it is true, the hot Indignation of an outraged
country will find some way to stop political
murder, or at least will see that the party in
whose interests it is committed does not
profit from the crime.

pathetic, the more so that her strongest am
btion evidently lay in that direc-
ton. AS a lecturer, however, she
has a brilliant record, and her fu-
ture success upon the platform will I'M
doubleday be as great as that of the past.
Whatever she has to say upon the labor
question will be we'll and forcibly said, and
she will have a thousand hearers where her
lecture devoted to the evils of trades-un-
IONS and those who heard and were impressed
by that will feel interested to know in what
manner she will treat the subject when
speaking for and under the auspices of the
sire rgest of all the unions.

THE New Albany Ledger, replying to the
Evansville Couriers statement that talk of
1.-THE old ticket was nonsense because of the
physical inability of the two candidates,
says:
Zone of the most brilliant and successful
canvasses ever made in this State was made
by o. P. Morton, sitting in his chair unable
to stand alone. Walter Q. Gresham canvassed
this district for Congress on clutches the
greater part of the time, and the Democrats
do not hone for any more fights against
cripples.
The Courier may want physical giants at
the head of the ticket, but the Ledger pre-
fers brains, character experience in public
affairs. And, in addition to those qualif-
cations the candidates should represent
something. The old ticket Tilden and
Hendricks, are the two greatest statesmen in
the Democratic party. In 1876 they repre-
scented the best aims and highest hopes of the
Democratic party. In 1884 they will still rep
resent those hopes. They will also represent
the judgment of the American people on the
electoral commission fraud; since and often
declared by all Democrats and independents
in politics. and often acknowledged by hon
est and thinking Republicans as the great po-
itical fraud of the age"

THE Milwaukee Sentinel we'll says that
"Mahone's great offense was in not support

respecting the Virginia debt" When it
"Mahoneism," in connection with the debt
of Virginia, is the merest moonshine to put
a glamour on political murder and intimida-
party will be treated with greater fairness.

ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER gave an
opinion that the time could not be changed
without the action of Congress. Attorney
general Brewster had occasion to go to Bal
timore on Monday. He arrived at the depot
in his carriage at 1857 o'clock, old style, and
looking at his watch, walked slowly to the
platform. Upon reaching the door he found
that the 4 o clock train had left. Attorney
general Brewster returned home with an ac-
cess of practical if not legal information.

Many suicide would have been prevented
if the doctors wife had visited the victim
the day before it happened. She will find
the right end of a case to get hold of, and
take the snarls out of it as she would out of

he would have reduced to hopeless tangle.
The growing conviction of the importance
of the thorough training of young women as
nurses is one of the most hopeful signs OF
medical advancement. So much has been

THE fight between bulls and bears in the
Chicago grain market is fictitious. There is
no natural reason for constant fluctuations
in values, and the ups and downs of prices
are simply the varying aspects of gambling

whereby few sharps may get money from
outsiders who vainly dream of fortunes from

THE Des MOines Register says-and says

THE Des Moines Register says-and says
well:
at is average excellence and average power
that make newspaper great 1t it makes itself
unlivaled in the field of gathering news, ana IN
the general space and merit of its daily averag e
in reading matter, the public who take it are
not always going to require that it should never
make mistake editorially. Indeed, to be an
editor every day in the week, and eighteen
hours in the day. and to meet things they
come on the instant, great small and treat
with them as they come, requires man who has
that nameless quality which is not Judgment,
but better than judgment-the thug that we
call instinct. There isn't time to consider
things cO0lly; there isn't always time to
be sure. Indeed, the man, taking his bearing
between head and heart, must decide at
first sight and run the risk of being right, and
rather like the man who, in seeking to be on
the generous side, is human enough to err on
that side once in while. We do not consider
honest mistakes to be such dreadful and unfor-
givable things we have made too many of them
ourselves. Heaven help the fellow too ungener-
ouS and too cOwardly to risk making q mistake
in trying to be boldly right. Lord bless us all,
this is a world of mortality and mistakes. The
pubic knows how to put an editor trial. 1t
knows on sight whether he is wrong on purpose
or mean on purpose or whether it is an honest
error or the error of good heart. 1t tries him.

per for itself, without caring what the people
made up of such cold material that they can
never he anything but critics OF successful men

THE latest petty swindle is being praoticed
on school teachers and washer-women. The OPP
orator bargains for so much washing, and offers
to pay in advance, say 50. He pretends to
have no money with him, and asks the woman
TO send child with him with So in change, and
he will send five-dollar bill back. Once out of
sight 1t is an easy matter to get the money from
the child and give none in return. With school
teachers he arranges to send child to school,
and arranges in his peculiar manner to "pay
tuition in advance" The latter scheme would
hardly succeed here, except with teachers of
private schools. 1t VIII be we'll enough to
keep lookout for this scheme, it will proba-
bly, be tried.

AT a recent meeting of the Marion County
Medical Society medical gentleman While
discussing the subject of monstrosites and
the prenatal conditions related to their pro-
duction, took occasion to express his views
as to the rights of women to practice medi-
cine, holding that if they joined the ranks
of practitioners they should "let maternity
alone" One of two female practitioners
who have recently joined the society and
were present, asserted her opinion that female
physicians had as good right to maternity
as have male physicians to paternity.
Regarding the position OF women as nurses
or doctors, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
in recent address reviewing
a century of American medicine, before the
faculty and students of Harvard Medical
College, said: what is there in the hour
of anguish like the gentle presence, the
quiet voice. the thoroughly trained and the
skllful hand of the woman who was meant
by nature and has been taught by careful
discipline to render those services which
money tries to reward, but only gratitude
can repay? l have always felt that nursing
was rather the vocation of women than gen.
eral medical and especially surgical practice.
Yet myself followed a course of lectures
given by the younger Madame Lachapelle in
Paris, and if here and there an intrepid
woman insists on taking by storm the
fortress of medical education, l would have
the gate flung open to her as If it were that
of the citadel of Orleans, and she were the
Joan of Arc returning from the field of victory.

WITH sworn officers of the law openly and

THE convenience of an entire city is of
much more Importance than the cranky pre-
judice of two or three judges. If the judges
want to run their courts by a sun-dial we
know of no objection. But that is no reason
why all the business aud domestic affairs of
one hundred thousand people should be
thrown into confusion. If the judges petit
lion 70 have the courthouse clock turned
ahead they will do very silly thing.

ANOTHER 'bob-tail car has been run into
and demolished while crossing railway
track. The driver was inside the car collect
ing fares when the accident occurred. For
tunately no lives were lost, but that was no
fault of the company or its employee. A
term of Imprisonment might awaken the
officers of Philadelphia street railways, and
of the Indianapolis street railway, to a fair
realization of their duty toward the public
and to the law under which they operate.

THE report that the Pope would send a
nuncio to Washington is promptly contra
dicted. 1t is probable the original statement
had no foundation in fact. The Pope is not
a fool, and is probably aware of the fact that
our government does not deal automatically
with representatives OF any church. And the
presence of an alleged nuncio, even without
recognition, would be an irritation.

THE Sentinel says, editorially, of the Ok
ford lynehing:
''rhere is too much circumlocution in the
law in such cases, and instead Of denouncing
the leading farmers of Benton county-men
of families, men of homes, devoted to law
and order as rule-as murderers. it were
better to agitate the question of so changing
the laws and the practice of the courts that
such iends as Melting shall be made to leave
the world at the shortest prudent notice. In
almost every instance where such crime as
Melting committed goes UNPUBLISHED be-
yond a prudent period, the people will
seek to remedy the defects in the
law by taking it into their own hands
Civilization has not been set back an inch
by the leading farmers of Benton county"
1t will be we'll to bear this phase of the
question in mind while engaging in de-
nouncing the action of the mob. If mob Jaw
is to be thoroughly eradicated legal law
must be made terror to evil-doers, and its
penalties put into swift and certain opera
ton. One thing is beyond question, and
that is, if law abdicates It's functions of pro-
lection something will take its place. The
preaching we want is to preach the enforce
ment of the law.

IT would be unfair to judge Salvationists
by single act like the disgraceful riot at
Kingston, Ont, but so many outre acts have
been committed by members of that band
that sensible people are thoroughly dis
gusted with them. Their religion is but
fanaticsm, and will not survive the origina-
tors of the folly. Friends of decency and
order in religion should give no encourage
