The M4iah's Laws.

The second SET of prosecutions for violations
OF the "higher laws" came up before his Honor,
in the city court, yesterday, and met with the
same fate as the first. Louis Landau had been
arrested on Sunday for allowing his front door
to remain unlocked, although not open. Patrol
man Brady arrested him, although he had seen
no drinks sold, the arrest being made for the
reason, as stated, that the front doors were un-
locked One of Charles Lauer's bar-keepers was
also arraigDed for having his place open after
IL O'Clock on Saturday night. Mayor Grubbs
dismissed both cases, with the remark that he
would willingly assist the police in an honest
effort to enforce the laws, but he declined to as
sist them IN enforcing laws of their own enact
ing. He stated, positively, that he would at no
time, during his term of office, fine anyone ar
rested for violation of them.

is due, in measure to the large supplies of

THERE are at present some slight pros
poets of war between England and
France. Of late years France has been
endeavoring to acquire new territory in
various quarters of the world. In this
respect she is England's greatest rival.
She has made extensive requirements in
Northern Africa and has now turned her
attention to Madagascar, the third larg-
est island on the globe. This island has
been regarded as common property and
under any circumstances England would
not consent to its occupation by any
other European power without the usual
amount of buster. The late proceed
ings of the French on the island have
been defiant and somewhat high handed.
Some towns have been bombarded, and
an English consul who was at the point
of death ordered to vacate one Of them
without delay. This action on the part
of the French created good deal of ex-
citemen. in England and an apology has
been asked from the French government.
The action of that government in refus
ing to take any steps in the matter until
it had heard from its officers, an official
account of the transaction is by no means
calculated to allay the excitement in
England, it is looked upon as mere
ruse to gain time. If France should
continue to maintain her present bellig-
erent attitude there is very little danger
that England would do any more than
threaten

DORSEY has unbosomed himself in a
seven column letter which was printed
in The Sun of last Sunday. 1t has fallen
like bomb shell in the republican camp.
So great is the discontinue produced by
it that none of the republican papers
have printed the letter in full, or even a
good epitome of it, and few have en-
tirely ignored its existence. 1t gives the
inside history of tho campaign of 1880,
and lucidly describes the gigantic efforts
made to win an almost hopeless cause.
The idea that Gen. Garfield "died for
civil service reform" is now generally
dispelled, and is being replaced by the
one that he resorted to means to secure
his election that no honorable or honest
man would adopt. The most remarkable
thing about the letter, perhaps, is the
detailed conference between Jay Gould
and Garfield. Garfield wanted money to
secure his election and Gould wanted
the appointment of Supreme Court
Judge. A bargain was struck, articles
of agreement we're entered into and sign
ed by the parties, and Gould promptly
contributed 100000 to the republican
campaign fund for the privilege of NAM
ing the successor to Judge Swayne.
However dificalt it may be to believe
that Garfield would stoop to be party
to any such disgraceful transaction, such
seems to be the case. Dorsey is in a
position to prove his statements by ire
fsagable testimony if they are denied by
the parties implicated in the charge.
1t would be well enough for the re-
publican papers to howl about the letter
being an atcack upon the dead who are
unable to defend themselves, if such was
the case. But it is not. The living are
implicated as we'll as the dead, and it is
safe to say that not one charge has been
made against Gen. Garfield which can
not be proven to be untrue by number of
living witnesses if such charge is untrue
in fact. AS to what passed personally
between Garfield and Dorsey, the latter
claims to have letters of the former in
his possession, which viii enable him to
suhstantiate his assertions in relation to
the arrangements between himself and
the 'martyred statesman" Gen. Brady
has said in an interview, that while he
had nothing to do with the publication
of the letter, it was all true.

THERE no longer appears to be any
doubt entertained about Arthur being a
candidate for the presidency before the
next republican convention. He hopes
to capture a solid delegation from the
south, which combined with what north
ern strength he can muster will give him
large vote in the convention, if not a
majority. If we must have republican
president we might just as well have
Arthur as anybody. During the two
years which he has held the reins of gov
eminent we have had more competent
and honest administration than the coun-
try has beer blessed with since the ad-
vent of Grant in office in 1869. The
Half Breeds, however, will no doubt
make determined effort to capture the
prize and will probably succeed. There
is very little chance for Arthur having
any stronger backing than Grant did at
Chicago, and as it was in Grants case,
SO is it likely to be in Arthur's, $50
near and yet SO far.

THE Pennsylvania republicans have
found that revenge is costly luxury. AT
the late state convention held there the
utmost harmony prevailed. The usual
faction fight for representation on the
ticket was dispensed with, there was lit
tie or no scramble for Office; in fact the
gathering would remind one of conven-
ton of Wisconsin democrats. The secret
of the harmony probably lies IN the lack
of confidence in the ability of the party
to carry the state in the fall. The able
and economic administration of Gov.
Pattison is well calculated to make PEN
nsylvania democratic state without the
aid of dissensions and turmoil in the op-
posing party. 1t is to be regretted that
the democrats in that state saw fit to
insert protection plank ID their plat
form.

high priests of the party all over the

T. NJ. KERR, trusted head book
keeper for Preston, Keane & Co., bank
ers, at Chicago, got months leave of
absence IN January last and returned to
Chicago last Tuesday in the custody of
two of Pinkerton's detectives. When
his leave of absence had expired it was
discovered that he had stolen from his
employers the sum of $4,000. He was
tracked to New York, from there to Pan
anna, from thence to Calloa, and finally
to Lima, where he was arrested. The
company have SO far recovered very lit
tie of the stolen money. 1t is supposed
that Kerr will plead guilty to the charge
against him. Marvellous skill was dis
played in capturing him.

The Chicago Tribune complains with
much reason that the English dispatches
received in this country in relation to
French affairs, are twisted and contorted
in every imaginable way to suit England.
Every few days the Atlantic cable an-
nounces that the French government is
about to collapse. Such an event is no
doubt s'consummation devoutly to be
wished by all good Englishmen, but
inasmuch as the French government was
never more stable than at present such
senseless fabrications should not be dis
seminated through the American press.
If the Tribune's suggestion, that the
French government cable the news in
relation to it, to its consul at New York,
were adopted,we could dispense with the
lies sent over the cable by agents of the
English government at Paris.

JERSEY CRY is not to be outdone in
having an experience with hardened
criminals. A burglar was fatally shot
there the other day while resisting an
officer. He had attempted to shoot the
officer but didn't succeed. When he
found the Zig was up" he called priest
and had him minister to his spiritual
wants. Thinking, no doubt that q good
thing couldn't be done too often, he then
called minister and asked him if 'there
was not forgiveness for all sin, however
great. On receiving an affirmative
answer he coolly remarked that he was
extremely sorry he hadn't killed the Off
Ger who shot him.

II seems little peculiar that after two
closely contested presidential campaigns
and on the very eve of third one the
democrats are not arousing themselves
to the necessity of establishing demo-
cratic press. There are but three repre-
sentative democratic news papers in the
United States, the Sun, The World and the
Courier Journal, and these are divided
on the principal issue before the coun-
try. OF late years the Chicago Times
has been more republican than demo
cratic, this leaving the entire west
There seems to be no reason why a good
democratic paper would not be finan-
cial success in Chicago or even Milwau-
kee, and more eastern cities than New
York, ought TO be able to support one
or more of these organs. The Sun claims
to have the largest circulation of any
paper in the United States, but it is
fighting battle almost single handed,
and of course does not circulate much in
the west, owing to the news which it
furnishes being Gay or two older when
it reaches us than that which we get in
the Chicago dailies. The preponderance
of republicans in the west is not so very
great. If Chicago can support three
great republican papers with a fourth
one looming up, there certainly ought to
be good chance for one democratic
daily in that democratic city. Likewise
if Milwaukee can afford to have two re-
publican dailies, she ought to be able to
support one good demcratic paper
There ought TO be capital and brains
enough in the democratic party of the
west to make such enterprises successful.
