A COMPLAINT from a correspondent else
where touches a point of much interest.
That there should be some public means of
conveyance to Crown Hill goes with the say
ing. Not every one who wishes to visit that
beautiful city of the dead has command of
a private vehicle. A line of Herdics is 'sug-
gested, starting at proper hours; or a line of
street railway would certainly be a great con-
venience, and would doubtless pay the pro-
~jectors. 1t is a shame that the city is not
connected in any way directly and publicly
with its principal cemetery.

OUR mission is not yet ended. This is not a
free country. Our flag does not yet protect the
rights of a human being.-Bob Ingersoll.
If that be the fact, the sooner the people
of the United States turn Mr.. Ingersolls
party out of power the better it will be for
the liberties of the country. The Republic
an party has been in power for twenty years
and over, and yet this great Republican
mogul says the flag does not yet protect the
rights of a human being" Away with such
a tyrannical and effete political organiza-
ton. -Louisvilie Courier-Journal.
In view of the fact that the flag does not
protect because of Democratic hostility to
of the Courier-Journal may be regarded as
supersaturated with gall.

THE Sentinel is greatly pleased with Mr..
Carlisle's secession speech in Cynthiana,
KY, in which he declared that the United
States is not a nation. 1t says 'the Journal
is embellishing its columns with beautiful
extracts from the speeches of Hon. John G.
Carlisle, the distinguished Democrat just
elected Speaker. Right, Go ahead. The
more the better. Carlisle's speeches are al
ways good reading Mr.. Carlisle ought not
to have denied that beautiful speech until
he had heard from the Indiana Democratic
organ. The Sentinel is correct. That speech
Of Mr.. Carlisle's will always be good read
ing" and lever better than at the present
time, when it is Endorsed by the Democratic
party.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says;

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says:
sit is not worth while for Mr.. Carlisle to
deny the accuracy of the Cynthiana speech.
1t was a verbatim report of what he said,
sent to the Gazette at the time and conspicu-
ously printed. 1t is too late, after the lapse
of seven years, to question the accuracy of a
report that was published at Mr.. Carlisle's
home; that is to say, over the river from
C~ovington."
So this speech remains, in which Mr.. Car
Isle denied that the United States is a ma
ton, and proceeded to announce the most
pronounced secession and revolutionary
sentiments on behalf of State sovereignty.
The knowledge of these sentiments made Mr..
Carlisle the Idol of the solid South.

REFERRING to the position the Democratic
party has assumed Upon the tariff question
in the election of Mr.. Carlisle, the New
York Sun says:
1.-The judgment of sober men will be that
in the. present temper of the public mind,
neither New York nor Connecticut nor New
Jersey nor Indiana can possibly be carried
upon the free-trade programme. Louisiana
will certainly vote against it, and Georgia
and North Carolina will do likewise. In
deed, the only States that can surely be re-
lied upon to give a Democratic majority I'M
der such circumstances are Kentucky and
South Carolina

Col, DUDLEY has written a letter to the
editor of the North Vernon Plaindealer, in
notice of a recent editorial in that paper,
which said the Colonel would accept the
nomination for Governor if rendered him.
In publishing an extract from the letter, the
Plaindealer says: "a letter was received
by US last week from Colonel w.
w. Dudley, explaining at length
that he is not a candidate for
Governor and asking us to state in our paper
that we were misinformed as to the candi-
dacy. 1t was not our intention to convey
the impression, that Colonel Dudley was
seeking the Office, for we know he is not, but
we believe he is too good a citizen to refuse
the call of the people in convention next
year. He is not a candidate for any Office"
The portion of the letter published is as fol-
lows:
IT feel sure, however, that any man Sc
lected by the Republican party as its stand
ard bearer, upon a platform having for its
first plank a demand ior a free ballot and
fair count; or, failing that, a solid North
against a solid South; a protective
tariff, pure and simple; and equal
rights to the colored man, this
as regards national affairs; a high license; a
reform in the benevolent institutions of our
State; a completion of the State-house, and a
positive prevention and inhibition of the use
of the State funds for the benefit of Demo-
cratic State treasurers, will be successful, [
wish 1 was so situated that l could feelit
possible to undertake the candidacy
for the nomination. No man
could receive "a higher honor in
this country than that OF. selection by the
Republicans of Indiana as the standard
bearer in the fight of 1884; but 1 cannot, in
justice to myself and those dependent upon
me, undertake the race. and I owe it to other
gentlemen who desire to become candidates
that l should say so unequiyocally." 81

A MURDERER in New Albany was sentenced
to death on the first trial. Some sort of an
informality in the charge. of the judge upon
the defense of insanity, which was set up,
secured him a new trial. That it was not
material is evident from the fact that on the
second trial, just concluded, the criminal has
been again convicted, but this time sentenced
to a life imprisonment. He will be pardon
ed after a time, in the due course of such
matters. The point upon which the case
was reversed was a mere legal or verbal quib-
BILE, not affecting the merits of the case; but
out of it the murderer escapes the gallows.
These are the things which breed disregard
for the law, and a reliance upon the methods
of Judge Lynch, in whose court bubbles
don't count.

WHAT is it in the spirit of Democracy that

to it for help in the hour of its extremity?
Slavery did, and found a friend and support

er, National dishonor and reputation sought
a haven in the Democratic party, and found it.
And now ~polygamy naturally turns to the

as a religious truth by criminal m~ountebanks
and scoundrels to people who are i%gnorantor

canny spirit in the Democratic party that
causes all manner of ~foulness and wrong to
gravitate toward it.

PROBABLY no presidential message ever re-
ceived higher praise than that of President
it was that it was the message of a President
of the whole people and not of a party, nor
was it the emanation OF an ambitious dema-

one of the safest, best, and most conservative
the country ever enjoyed.

THEY will do 1.-THE very best of them. The
vicar-general of the st. Louis Catholic diocese,
with two good sisters and eight novices in
charge, landed at New York from an Antwerp
steamer on Wednesday,. The vile hirelings of the
custom house were not satisfied with the as

brought no dutiable articles, but suspected them
of not having fully renowned the pomps and
vanities of the world, and ordered a search. The
inspectors found upon the persons of the nov

evade the tariff is a heihous crime, and were,
therefore, not surprised when the young women
wept over the confscation of their goods rather

simply contented themselves with wondering
how much a full-fiedged nun could smuggle if a
novice could be depended on for fourteen pounds
of silk, and waited for the next fashionable
dress-naker or milliner who should fall into
their clutches.

pure?
The defense made by the Salt Lake City
News, that polygamous marriages are recog-
nized by the Almighty Being, "who estab-
lished them for His peoples fullness and His
glory" is no defense at all. Nobody can
carry absurd or vicious practices behind the
altar of God and expect the people to keep
their hands off. Freeman, of Pocasset, had
fee his child, which he at nee
proceeded to do. He may have
been sincere in his belief, but that
does not work him absolution. The courts
very properly took cognizance of the crime
and the authorities locked him up. Society
cannot afford to let men insane on religion
innocent. No more can it allow fanatic and
lecherous men to dig up pretended revela-
tons, and found upon them a system OF con-
cubinage hostile to modern civilization and
repugnant to every idea Oh domestic purity.
These men and their immoral practices must
be ousted. They have already too long in

shame upon the country. The tide of
settlement is setting in about the
ancient stronghold of Mormonism, and the

such a pernicious influence to &C on I'M

be throttled now. The humiliation and
shame that would come upon the Mormon
"wives,' who would find themselves with
out husbands, could not be greater than they
should feel already as the concubines of men
already married. The children already born
in polygamy could be formally legitima-
tized, and then the ban of law should close
down on the iniquity at once and forever.

that which Mr.. Matthew Arnold has been pro-

order to proclaim it to the only apparently firmly
established democracy in the world. Mr.. Arnold
talks easily of Isaiah and Plato as If they had

youth; but it is questionable if either Isaiah or
Plato could have listened for ten minutes with
patience to Mr.. Arnold. The New Testament,

Judge Nfayo's Suicide.

Norfolk, Va, 15.-Judge Mayo,
who committed suicide aboard the
Baltimore steamer this morning, re-
lated his trouble to an Episcopal
clergyman of Norfolk, who came
from Baltimore with him. He said
when he was elected judge he did
not agree politically with his sons,
prominent readjusters. He was
told that politics would not inter-
fere with his duties on the bench.
Recently he had been urged to
make a removal and appointment,
which afterwards appeared, in his
opinion, a violation of law. His
political situation irritated him,
and he said he felt like ending his
troubles by blowing out his brains.
He is widely connected and an uncle
of Commodore Mayo, United States
navy.
