disgraceful incident TRANSFERRED during
that most disgracetul campaign. Following
this precedent the managers of the Demo

COLONEL A. K. MCCLURE of the Philadel-
phia Times, the coadjutor of Mr. Dana in the
cry that the Republicans must be put out OF
power by any means and through any party,
is in Ohio, and after careful examination OF
the field telegraphs his paper that "Ohio is
fairly in doubt, both as to the State ticket
and the Legislature" The word has been
sent out from Washington all over the coun-
try to the effect that Democrats do not pin
their faith on Ohio" There is a general
movement along the whole line to break the
force of confessed defeat.

In nutshell: The assessment increased
nearly $40 900, 600; the rate of taxation raised
from SLIP to $780, a cash balance of over
a quarter of a million of dollars spent, and
deficit of $4,000 left; the debt increased
more than half million dollars; city orders
Endorsed Not paid for want of funds" and
hawked about the streets at ninety cents on
the dollar. This is the record of Democratic
administration for two years. Do the citi-

IT is now certain that Juh, the famous
Apache chief, was drowned, recently, while
drunk, by falling from his horse into the
Casas Grandes river Little Charley McComas
is alive, and is a captive in the hands of the
dead chiefs widow. Negotiations for his
surrender are in progress, and will doubtless
be completed so soon as the grief-stricken
widow determines on the number of bolts of
calico and the number of rife cartridges she
will accept in exchange for the boy. The
question of calico will be easily adjusted,
but she is inclined to be extortionate in the
matter of cartridges.

If Mr. Schmuck will say, over his own
signature, that the translation of his letter
to the German Tribune, as published in the
Journal, in any wise msrepresented him,
the columns of the Journal are open to him
cheerfully. We are not making this cam
paign knowingly upon Misrepresentation of
any Sort or with respect to anybody. Mr..
Schmuck's organ can have the monopoly OF
garblng letters, disappearing opponents,
and lying generally and specifically. The
Journal does not care to win on that basis.

THE New York Tribune prints the names
of a number of young Englishmen who dis
graced themselves by ungentlemanly con-
duct as members of the Rufus Hatch Yellow
stone party. Not only is the indictment
brought by the Tribune against these ''swelr'
vulgarians undoubtedly true, but it is mat
ter of common knowledge to all who met
them that the Hatch party contained some
of the biggest fools and biggest beasts that it
is possible to conceive of. There were ladies
and gentlemen, many of them, in Mr..
Hatch's excursion; but the conduct of the
few made the whole party disagreeable and
disreputable.

MURDERERs in France do not seem to under
stand that conviction and death sentence put
them right in the pathway to glory. They may
live up to their privileges in the matter of kill
ing off their fellow creatures, but they do not
die with the edifying exhibition of piety so
much in vogue on this side of the water among
the sanguinary gentry. So far as reports show,
no French murderer has sung hymns and exhort-
ed his associates TO meet him in heaven, to
which he processes to be on the direct route. At
all events Mr.. Houy who has just been behead-
ed at Paris for the murder of an old lady and
her maid, did not follow the American rogue's
programme. Mr. Houy was offered the services
of priest but scorIfully refused them. He did
not know where he was going when his head
should be cut off. and he did not care. Before
this ceremony took place, however, Mr.. Houy
by way of clearing his mud of the cares of bust
ness addressed the following cheerful letter to
the President of the Republic:
eighteen dead bodies are buried in a cellar
at the corner of the Rue DIES Journeaus aud the
Porte de Versailles. He who is about to die
does not lie.'
If, as is to be presumed, the bodies are those
of Houy's own victims, they make his list an
even twenty, and the Frenchnan stands
chance of being immortalized on the stage as a
rival attraction to Jesse James.

IT has long been a disputed question whether
women arrayed themselves in gorgeous attire
for the purpose of being looked at and admired
by men. or to excite the envy of other women,
but legal decision has been reached at last. A
New York woman appeared before a magistrate
the other day charging her dress-maker with
having cheated her by putting inferior goods in
hel gown and not making the same in stylish
manner, The dress was produced as evidence,
and the Judge promptly i;np9neiing six report
ers as jury, directed them to examine the
garment. They did so with one eye each, six
eyes in ALL fixed upon the dress-maker, who was
present and pretty. They decided that the dress
was all right, and when the complainant pro-
tested that they were not competent, and that
ladies should be called to examine it, she was
sternly rebuked. "You bought the goods of a
man." said that wise man, "and had it made for
gentlemen to look at. They have looked 81 it
and decided against you. The case is dis
missed"
