Mr.. ~BRADLAUGH, standing prepared to take

soluGe legal as well as moral right to his seat in
the House. That the House should obstinately
ana repeatedly refuse him this right, and thus
practically disfranchise his constituency, sim
ply because its MEMBERS dislike his opinions on
religious subjects, is an astonishing fact to
Americans, and one which throws much light ON
English conservatism and English preiudiees.

power be now borne patiently by the aggrieveG

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.


IF we can break up the practice of unlicensed
liquorselling, or selling to minors ana haDltual
inebriates, extort from the business the license
strioter discipline and accountability, an i'm
mense IMPROVEMENT will have been accom-
plished. 1t is no trifling task.-St. Louis Repub-
lican. "Urft.r
We think it not premature to say that the
discriminating taxation of the retail liquor traf-
fc is the fixed policy OF the people of Ohio; that
the establishment of this policy has taken the
liduor question out of politics. save as those
questions may be agitated by the tmpracticables
and the irreconcilables Cincinnati Commercial

WE have in this country the extremes; in the
cities the schools are admirably good; In the
country, for the most part, they are detestably
bad, and If the wise men who are to assemble in
Kentucky next fall can find some means OF ele-
waiting the latter they will do much more than
the public now expects of them. This disparity
between the two classes of schools is a thing
which has been growing up ever since there
were district schools; 1t has grown to formidable
Dimensions, and II the evil is ever to be reme-
died now is the time TO begin.-St. Louis Globe

QUESTIONS.

A few weeks ago tine Journal called atten-
ton to the significant fact that English CAPT
talists are buying up millions of acres of our
best Western and Southern lands. Since
then there have been some further develop
ments relative TO this scheme that show that
it is not accidental, nor has it any connec-
ton with a purpose to Immediately put
these lands on the market for settlement.
There is now good authority for saying that
these large investments in American lands
have an eye to the revolution, now far adj
yanced in Great Britain, which awaits only
the death OF the present Queen for its open
human ken can %foresee, but the war in Ire
land against land monopoly and its kindred
wrongs, is only an open declaration of what
exists in England almost as universally,
and is poorly concealed, if concealed
at all, from motives of policy. At no dis
tant day this sentiment must work a revolu-
ton not less marked than that through
which we have recently passed. 1t may be
peaceful, and most probably will, but 1t Will
be no less a revolution, and these large in
vestments are for the purpose of laying up
British treasure where revolution cannot
disturb it. 1t may be we'll with the En-
glish lords, but it will be death to American
civilization. Dare we meet this question as
its gravity requires?
But hand in hand with this transfer of
English wealth, to be held by English lords,
goes the other scheme, to send to these
shores the poor, the manned, the halt and
the blind Of the British Islands. They come
to be supported by our laboring men, while
the lords GRASP, the, only means we have of
supporting them or enabling them to sup
port themselves. Motive questions before
the American people are half SO far-reaching
as these. They must be met-met promptly,
met vigorously, and met sensibly.

IT is well to say again that there should
be a full attendance at the Republican pri-
maries tomorrow night, and in every ward
ar earnest effort made to send delegations to
Saturdays convention representative of the
Republican vote. Let every prearranged
''slate" and Committee be inc~ontinently
smashed and done away with. All Republi-
can voters should start in on a plane of per-
feet equality. With such primaries and with
a convention really and properly representing
the Republican party of the city, there will
be perfect satisfaction and complete success
in October.

female, they are doomed to disappointment.
Women have an equal right with men to
earn their living in government employ.
The civil-service rules, if honestly carried
out, will not exclude them. If dishonesty
evaded, the officials guilty OF such conduct
should be removed to make way for better
men-or women. 1t is safe to say that
twenty years will not weed out" the
women clerks from the departments, and it
may be confidently asserted that no man at
the end OF that time will risk his own official
head by ~uttering such sentiments.

SkoheIoh-s Sister.

N1Co1OW GNttC
The belle of the ball after the Empress was
certainly the Countess de Beauharnais, sister
of the late General Skobelof; not an abso-
Lutte beauty, but one of those big-eyed, dark
haired, attractive faces, with a marvellous
hgure. for whom men commit follies and
women invent scandal. This lady was
dressed IN a Russian dress, the cut of which
dates from early in the sixteenth century.
1t was low off the shoulders, with long. hang
ing sleeves, plated at the elbow, with a
pointed stomacher, and skirt opening be-
meath over the under-petticoat. The fabric,
heavily brocaded and embroidered, looked
like chased metal, as its long train fell
around her feet in singular folds. Her
kakoschnik was festooned with pearls, dia-
monds and huge round emeralds; while
round the entire corsage pearls and emerald
medalllons set off her pretty shoulders to
perfection. A simple veil of tulle was fast
ened with gold plaques behind the tiara.
Other costumes were equally attractive with
out being SO perfect i'll ensemble. White
satin and deep black furs, maroon brocade
over cloth of silver, embroidered in Byzan-
tine patterns of every kind, pale gray MORE
trimmed with rare lace. furS of every rarity,
but above all parures OF jewels eelipsing
every court in Europe or Asia. 7 never i'm
agined there were so many enormous eme-
raids above ground, while diamonds in tiaras,
%riveres, collars and monograms at last
seemed numberless.

Louise NJ. Alcott, in Boston Globe.
One of the most memorable moments of
my life is that in which, as trudged to my
little school on a wIntry day, my eyes fell
upon a large yellow poster with these de-
licious words: Bertha, a new tale, by the
author of the Three Prime Donnas, will APP

was bitterly cold; people jostled me; | was
MORALLY afraid l should be recognized; but
there / stood, feasting my eyes on thet fasci-
mating poster, and saying proudly to myself
the words of the great Vincent Crummles:
This is famel' That day my pupils had an
indulgent teacher; for, while they struggled
with their pot-hooks 1 was writing immortal
works, and when they droned out the multi
plication table l was counting up the noble
fortune my pen was to earn for me in the
dim, delightful future. That afternoon my
sisters made a pilgrimage to behold this ia
nous placard, and finding it torn by the
wind, boldly stole it, and came home to wave
it, like a |triumphal banner, in the bosom of
the excited family. The tattered paper still

THE bank robber and all Others of his class
may as well make up their minds that hid
ing places are out of the question. Francis
M. Kerr skipped out of Chicago some time
ago with $4,000 in embezzled funds and
went to Callao, in the South Sea, but he is
nov under arrest en- route for the scene of
his robbery for trial and punishment. About
the only enjoyment for these embezzling
rascals is what they can have before detec-
ton. The idea of final escape by fight
must be put out of their thoughts. With
the facilities at hand, and the proper dill
gence on the part of the officers, in most
cases a telegram can be lodged at the des-
tination of the fugitive in advance of mis-
arrival and by means of which he can be
taken into custody at once. There are no
bounds to justice as there seems no limit to
crime.

Mr.. HENDRICKS halt at Omaha may have
more than ordinary significance, when it is
remembered that the manager of the Tilden
foreeslin the West resides there. He is the
editor of the Omaha Herald, and is counted

which ne and Patrick took an active part,
was a blunder, but this was an afterpiece and
not connected with the regular campaign.
1t was a desperate resort to bridge over the
death-trap that awaited the Sage and his

Ex-Governor MeCooK, of Colorado, has
the size of the Indian in his head. If there
is any gentleman, even if be diets on beans
and lives in Boston, who can give a sensible
reason why an Indian murderer should be

hung, we should like to hear it. We are in

the law, and the white devils the same, and
the devils of all colors and shades.

IT is astounding to read General Crooks
opinion of the North American Indian, thai
sit is always practicable to convert the saw
age warrior into a peaceful and self-sustain-
ing Citizen General Crook has proved
himself an energetic campaigner against the
red man, and has lone good service in over
hauling the fleeing Apaches. But that he is
mistaken in his estimate of the average
western Indian is so apparent as to be sur
prising. The almost universal testimony of
those who know most of the Indians
is to the effect that they are indo-
lent, thriftless and treacherous to a
degree beyond the comprehension of those
who get their knowledge of Indian hohor
from books like those written by Fenimore
Cooper and less distinguished authors. The
red man of the West is a bowling fraud, a
sneak and constitutional liar and thief. His
c%ruelties are proverbial and nhuman be-
yond belief. Possessed of every instinct of
sayage brutality, and %hampered in no wise

SPECIAL agents OF the Department of the
Interior have unearthed a number of fraud
ulent individual land entries in the West,
and the aggregate amount restored to the
government up to date is S. 900 acres, with
numerous cases yet to be examined. This is
a laudable service on the part of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, and it is to be hoped the
investigations Will be continued and ex-
tended TO the examination of large grants
mad to railroads and other corporations,
wherein there is question as to their right to
hold them because of noncompliance with
conditions upon which such grants were
made. The people of the country are con,
WINGED of existing abuses in these matters,
and will look to their public servants who
ave them in charge for a prompt and eff
Gent remedy. 1t may as we'll be announced
now that the day is past for the ofice-hold-
er and politician to bank upon public prop
erty, whether it be government lands or
what not.

by anything like conscience, he has wreaked
vengeance again and again on the
white people, and needs no incentive
to murder but the opportunity
and the probability of escape, That
he is brutally cruel is proved by the fact
that the atrocities practiced by him in 1858
are every bit as blood-thirsty and relentless
as those massacres at his hands at the river
Raisin, Wyoming, and other places of the
last century. 1t may be that if the Ameri-
can Indian is taken in infancy and reared
under the influences of civilization some
thing could be made OF him. But for the
brawny buck that annually rides on raids
there is no hope. With the treachery
OF centuries instilled into his I'M
reasoning nature, he is fit only
to slaughter and plumber. His
animosity knows no limits. Women and
children, prattling babes, are fair game for
his rifle and his knife. Nor is it revenge for
fancied wrongs alone. He practices out
RACES upon women prisoners that would
shame a fiend, only to butcher the helpless
victims of his lust. We speak of the average
Indians; there are exceptions. For adult
warriors who murder and ravage there
should be swift and unrelenting punish
ment, just the same as is meted out to white
villains of the same class.

SOM cheap men in the departments at
Washington are talking loudly and largely
of the way in which women clerks are to be
crowded out under the new civil-service reg
u~lations. One official is reported as saying
that as a good many ladies are now en-
ployed there 1t is probable it will be a
long time, probably twenty years, before
they are weeded out, but that the time will
come as there are to be few or no new APP
pointments. These male officials should oc-
casionally remember the fact that they have
not a life-lease on the positions they them
selves hold, and that their authority is little
and brief. They should further reflect that
back of the larger authority which put them
in place, back, even, of any civil-service rules,
is a public sentiment stronger than either,
a sentiment which tine opinions Of
women go largely to form. If the small
officials fancy that their petty
