but speculative gambling not only continues
but actually grows with the general ten
dency 10 idIeness and social disrespect for
honorable industry. The wealth OF con-
tent the only substantial wealth that the
world can give. is rapidly becoming
stranger to our young men who learn to de-
test and shun the patient industry and fru-
gality of their fathers and the only refuge is
in gambling for the wealth that can't be hon
estly earned. The result is utter disappoint-
ment, social decentralization and dissipation
or mendicancy, and the old, old story repeats
ITSELF"
The fight against this margin" specula-
ton, and the bold, barefaced robbery prac-
tced by dealers" whose deals are no
more honorable and less certain, than the
deals" made by the faro gamblers, will be
kept up until public sentiment is created
that will stop the disgraceful proceedings in
the organized boards of trade, and make
bucket shops" and margin" hells infamous.
1t is our deliberate judgment that to-day
this speculative gambling in stocks and
grain is the most widespread and frightful
evil in the country. Intemperance is much
less, because intemperance is under the ban
everywhere.

OF course. the preference of the Journal,
as will be that of all Illinoisans, will be for
Chicago. If, however, Chicago should not
be chosen, we believe the second choice of
large majority of Western members of the

acceptance of brides as it would be to assail
the integrity of John Wanamaker OF Phil
adelphia, or John Shillito, of Cincinnati.
Let US have done with this pitiful meanness
that every sincere man despises. 1t comes of
characterless scamps, and is productive of
evil to all the people. We need the best men
in the nation for politicians, and to get them
and to keep them we must not make politics
disreputable. The public men of Amer
lea, those who have stood long
before the people, are models
of personal probity. Many of them
have relinquished lucrative professions to &C
cept public trusts. They have handled and
dispensed millions of treasure, and have gone
back to the people or down to their graves
even poorer in purse than when they entered
public life They deserve honor and praise
and confidence The prominent politicians
of either party may err in judgment as to
public measures, but to rate them as pur-
chasable, like so many sheep, is libel that
ought to shame its utterer out of public
night, There are exceptions, as we have
said but the corruption of the exceptions is
dashed through the world by righteous
public indignation.
Many of the petty scandals that float for
a season on the sea of politics arise from a
corrupt and constituencies lobby. Ad-
venturers and men who have not char
acter enough to be successful politicians
hang like harpies about the halls of
Congress to sell their "inauence." God save
the mark The professional lobbyist has no
more influence with reputable politicians
than would blue-faced mandrill They
trade on their shrewdness and abili-
ty to deceive their patrons. All
ter, by some INSCRIPTIONS means,
discovering how certain leading politicians
are going to vote on certain question, they
impudently offer to elk" such men for a
consideration. The probability is that the
man they so confidently propose to FIX
does not even know them, and would scorn
their acquaintance if he did. These are the
fellows who when treated with the contempt
they deserve, dare to give utterance to the
ISLANDERS that from time to time come up
against men as far removed from such petty
peccadillos as their accusers are from ordinary
responsibility. The American public owes ii to
American officials to discredit the libelous
twaddle of professional corrupters and po-
litical mountebanks. The public good de-
mands that politicians and office-holders be
accorded the same honorable treatment
freely extended to. honest and able men in
less conspicuous walks of life. The public
service demands the highest talent and most
exalted integrity. These it has and will still
enjoy until we allow public life to become
intolerable to self-respecting citizens.

ftcNNsoN, the New York congressional ass,
has been heard from again. Among lot of
resolutions offered by him, yesterday, was one
calling on the Secretary of State for informa-
ton whether the minister to Great Britain
has received any title of nobility, such as
lord rector" from any foreign state, and
whether such English lord" is retained in
the service of the United States. A fool VINO
does not know the difference between title
of nobility from a foreign state and an cleo
ton as lord rector by vote of university
students, the honor lasting for one year,
should have grace enough to resign from the
American Congress, and not make the coun-
try laughing stock.

THE New York Sun proposes that Mr.. Car
Isle, Mr.. Morrison, and the free-trade Demo-
Gratis who have captured control of the House
of Representatives, shall let the country
know precisely what they mean. 1t says:
"There is no power which can prevent Mr..
Carlisle and Mr.. Morrison from preparing a
bill which shall perfectly embody and illus
trate the ideas on which they are to ask the
decision first of Congress, next of the Demo-
cratic national convention, and finally OF the
people at large"
1t suggests that there is no particular ne
cessity to elaborate all the details of such a
bill, but it illustrates its points with sugar.
The Sun says;
"The sugar planters OF Louisiana are pro-
tected by the present tariff, the robber tariff
as it is called. In any tariff made upon the
rule OF revenue only, no such protection
can be found. If you, Mr.. Carlisle ana Mr..
Morrison, are really the men you are taken
for you will remove the import duty from
all foreign sugar; and thus you will abolish
the protection which the sugar planters OF
Louisiana now enjoy. They will object, and
that State will threaten to go over to the
Republicans. But that should make no diff
ference If You are sincere men, devoted to
the principles you profess you will pay no
attention to such threats. You will strike
out the protection, and let Louisiana slide"
This is certainly fair, and the Sun is per-
fectly correct in saying to these conspicuous
gentlemen:
"If you are free-traders in principle, and
if you legislate to make the tariff a thing of
revenue only, you will take off every pro-
tective duty. If you are protectionists you
will leave those duties on; and if you leave
them on, don't pretend hereafter to be any
thing but protectionists. Let there be no
humbug, no false pretense, no possibility of
dispute as to the fact"
The Journal comedies perfectly with the
Sum- Let us have the question fairly and
fully presented and settled To this the
Democracy and the country are entitled"
There has been enough of false pretense. If
the election of Mr.. Carlisle meant anything
whatever in the direction. of free trade"
the great principle or idea for which Mr.
Carlisle said he stood, and as Professor Perry
regarded him, let us have the proofs of it in
the passage of such bill by the House as
will put the issue fairly and honestly before
the country

THE COMING WOMAN.

A New Jersey woman read paper before
Liberal Club the other day, in which she
advocated easy divorce and a national fund
for the comfortable support of women. 1t is
such straws as this which occasionally float
to the surface that lead amable but wise and
cautious men to oppose giving political power
into the hands OF women. Just suppose one
million women holding views similar to that
of the New Jersey sister were given the bal
lot. What would be the result? 1t is not
sufficient to- say that so many of the sex with
such wild notions do not exist. What assur-
ance have we that each woman. who desires
to vote does not haye secretly in view COM
Portable income for herself from the public
treasury? And if the plan has not occurred
to her already, why should we suppose taat
it will not strike her as happy thought?
When the full possibilities of the scheme
dawn upon the women of the country, it is
not impossible that they will rise as one
woman and demand the franchise as the
first step towards accomplishing their
aim. The thought is enough to turn con-
sentative men and office-holders pale with
horror. To be sure, all male citizens can
longngs; but, knowing the ease with which
the individual woman beguNles the wealth
from the masculine pocket it is hardly prob
able that, with all his financial ability con-
centrated upon the treasury, it can long be
protected. Once let the defenses be broken
down, and the end is foretold Women will
be pensoned, every one of them, and with
no misery pittance either, but a "comforta-
BILE support" The unmarried will demand
good shares, of course; widows, old and
young will be provided for, and wives whose
husbands incomes are not large enough,
which number includes all wives, will also
demand their portion. They will have all
the offices, because these afford comfortable
support" with nothing in particular to do,
and will be in great demand.
We shall have no navy when the women
get in; the army will be allowed 10 consist
only of commissioned officers, and there
will be no money to spend in postal tele-
graphs and things, because theJ will want
it all themselves. Altogether the picture is
appalling. 1t is probable that the advocates
OF the suffrage cause are hardly ready for the
disclosure made by the New Jersey woman;
but the feminine tendency to talk, which
has betrayed scheme of such awful posi-
bllities, may, though fatal to them, be the
saving OF the country from a whirlpool of
extravaganza. The suffragiSts may even
deny that they are in accord with the liber-
al sentiment of the New Jersey club, but
can they prove it? 1t behooves the wary
citizen to take warning, that he may thus be
able to circumvent nefarious feminine de-
signs on a treasury which contains no more
than he wants himself.

Mr.. AUGUSTUS BOYD, of Philadelphia, de-
posted money as margins with Messrs. Bar
rett & Cattell, stock brokers'" or, to put it
palmer, managers OF "a bucket-shop."
Messrs Barrett & Cattell specialized, finally
lost, and appropriated Mr.. Boyds money.
Mr.. Boyd sued for its recovery, when the
firm responded that their transactions with
Boyd we're gambling and illegal and they,
therefore, had the right to appropriate his
money as they did. The judge before whom
the case was tried did not allow this shame
less defense to stand a moment, but ordered
the brokers to refund the money. The Phila-
delphia Times, in an editorial review of the
suit, comments as follows:
at was simply the old, old story that is
told sometimes in public and countless times
in private, OF the luckless gambler in what
he can't pay for when he buys, and what he
hasn got to deliver when he sells. Now

twaddle has been written with respect to Mr..
Tennyson accepting this title. AS matters
go in England, admission to the peerage is
the highest honor the nation can confer
upon distinguished citizen. 1t counts for
nothing with US, and we shall still know the
old poet laureate as Alfred Tennyson. But the
comforting and acceptance of the baronetcy
will not add to or detract from either Mr..
Tennyson's personal character, or the i'm
mortal work of his pen, while it is an honor
worthily bestowed by the Queen and govern
