THE report of the rescission Of the recent
order for the discrimination of Sunday trains on
the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railway
is evidently without foundation. The Lafayette
Courier says:
"There is no doubt that President Young's
order disseminating trains on Sunday is to hold
good, notwithstanding the rumOrs TO the con.
trary. Shortly after the order was issued num-

one headed by the mayor, containing $500
names. This applied principally to Cedar Lake;
and the president of the road was asked to make
an exception in regard that point for the
benefit of the hundreds who would visit that
place for recreation on Sunday, Mr. Young,
however, refused and to further satisfy the
public of his determination wrote letter of con-
siderable length to q railway journal few days
ago, i'll which he takes occasion to recount his
reasons for the abandonment of Sunday trains,
and in conclusion says: THAT, far tried,
the results more than satisfactory; no injury
or loss has been sustained the employees have in
many cases expressed their gratitude and
thanks for this privilege which has been ex-
tended them in the way of cessation of
work on Sunday, and that so long as | remain in
the management of the road no change will be
made.'"

EVEN the number five head of dude may
be able to grasp the difference between the
question OF free trade and protection and the
law of gravitation. We are not aware that
the world is divided upon the theory OF
gravitation and that three-fourths OF Chris
tendon are in opposition to it, as they are
upon free trade. We do not hear discussions
everywhere upon the law of gravitation, nor
are the newspapers engaged in UNFOLDING or
attacking it, as they are with respect
to protection and free trade. The

EVERYTHING is in perfect harmony among
the Democrats of Ohio. A striking proof of
this is the leading editorial in the Cincinnati
Enquirer yesterday, headed stop It," and
which opens up with the appended concilia-
tory paragraphs:
-Four days have passed since the adjourn
ment of the State Democratic convention at
Columbus, but the cheering by the friends
of the successful candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination continues. the adherents
OF Judge Hoadly, with harsh voices and i'll
advised exultation, continue to assail and
denounce the men who dared stand by
General Ward and advocate the claims of
that honest incorruptible Democrat Those
who will incur the least damage from tactics
of this description are those upon whom the
denunciation falls, and it is hardly possible
that this kind of campaigning is with the
consent of the head of the ticket Surely,
Judge Hoadly is man of too much expert
ence and too deep an appreciation of the
coming struggle to assent to the threats,
sneers and vulgar personalities that have
been hurled at such'men as Allen G. Thur
man, John A. Mcmahon, William D. Hill,
George L. Converse, James B. Steedman, and
other old and prominent Democrats.
Judge Hoady is a man of talents and
shrewdness He well knows that his victory
is not yet won; that his case must'depend on
the events and discussion of the next three
months, after which great jury of 700, 900
voters will hand in the verdict. AS the ex-
citing events of the convention wear away
and the citation of those who are rejoicing
over a victory within the party subsidies, the
work before the Democracy will be viewed
with calmnesS and with comprehension OF
the obstacles to be overcome. The sober sec
ond thought must take the place of rivalry
and jubilation, and the magnitude of the
campaign before us must be realized The
evenness of the battle must be understood"
This language from the Enquirer will be
apt to cool the fever in the blood of those
ardent gentlemen who have imagined the
Democratic party had a walk-away in Ohio.
Senator Mcdonald is wise enough to see that
the outcome in Ohio is, to say the least,
questionable, and now, added to the party
troubles, comes the decision on the Scott law
to blacken Democratic prospects.

opinions of leading men are not sought
for upon the law of gravitation, and political
parties are not framing platforms on either
side of Newton's great principle. These
adolescent philosophers, who are so ready to
settle fundamental questions by the stroke
of their mighty pens will be ready to con-
slider when they grow older and have sense
enough to apprehend the limitations of their
genius, that there is a division of opinion
upon the question of free trade and that
there are, to say the least, not few men of
respectable ability and unquestioned honesty
who favor the doctrine of protection.

DIR. THEOPHTLUs PARvIN, in his address to the
graduates of the Louisville Medical UnIversity,in
February last, spoke as follows of Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher:
"This brilliant but erratic man entered upon
his ministerial career wearing a Calvinistic coat
of the old Geneva pattern hut soon cast 1t aside
minus. Subsequent changes in his theological
vestments nave been many if not great, and
he now stands i'll lifes evening unable to find
any formulated creed in Professionalism, Catholi-
csm or pagansm expressive of his religious be-
lief, and so has been compelled to start an indie
IHsHdent line running from Brooklyn to the &C.
iestfal City. Mr.. Beecher, though unknown
among the class OF scientific investigators, with
out reputation the least authority IN the
scientific world, asserts from the platform the
truth of Darwnsm, theory which can never
be proved, and which the twentieth century
may class among the decisions of the nine
teenth."

THE receiver of the estate of McGeoch,
Everingham & Co., of Chicago report liabili-
ties in excess of 100000, with assets of
about $4,000. In other words, on each dol
lar of capital they were trying to do $l20
worth of business. Still there are few who
maintain that such speculation is not gam
bling but legitimate business.

he replied ''but he is not weak, because the

inevitable question as to what particular the
Democratic party is strong in it is amusing
to hear him eloquently excaim "By heavens,
sir, when you look at the high-handed rob-
bers among the Republican leaders, and see
them vindlcated and serenaded by the resid-

and reflect that nothing stands between the

London's death-rate was lower than that of
any other of the large capitals of Europe
while San Francisco takes the lead in the
United States. In London, during the year.
there were So 259 deaths among children I'M
der five years of age. In New York there
were II $50 deaths among the same class. In
London, strange as it may appear, there were
but S.405 deaths from pulmonary complaints,
while in Paris, so free from fogs and
murky weather, popularity supposed to be
conducive of such diseases, there were II, OIL
deaths from those complaints. The per cent
in New York was about the same as that of
Paris, both being nearly 100 per cent. greater
than the London death-rate. From small
pox there were 431 deaths in London, SCI in
Paris 259 in New York, and the start
ling total of 1,249 in Cincinnati.
Had the same per cent. obtained
in London as in Cincinnati, there would
have been 8, 158 deaths from that cause alone
The number of deaths from diphtheria was
nearly three times as great in Paris as in
London, though the latter city is twice as
POI ,ous as is the French capital. 1t is but
fair to say OF Cincinnati that the year 1882
was very disastrous one on account of a
smallpox plague that was very hard to stay.

THE prohibition OF the landing of foreign
paupers upon American shores is a question
of greater deicacy than appears at first
thought. That paupers have found their
way to this country from ali parts OF Europe
heretofore is not questioned but so long as
they were transported at private expense no
disturbance has been made But if any for
eign state undertakes a wholesale business
of dumping its paupers upon us, the effort
ought to be resented in such an emphatic
way as to stop it. The laws of this country
classes, and the President, in his recent
interview, gave assurance that the laws
would be rigidly enforced in every case of
violation, and that correspondence was
being had with our diplomatic agents abroad
to ascertain the facts in the premises. But
the right of an American citizen to bring a
hel pless kinsman or friend into this country
is not questioned so long as the persons so
brought are not thrown upon the pub
lie for support. The violent opposition
to pauper emigration suddenly aroused
in certain quarters is tinged
somewhat with policy. Castle Garden has
held thousands in the past who were unable
to pay their way out of New York city, but
so soon as they could be mustered into the
Democratic party money has been furnished
them to go to the places where they could do
the party the most good, and they went.
Good results often come from works actuated
from motives of mere policy, and this is
likely to turn out to be SO in the present
case. 1t does seem that the kindred of a
starving and down-trodden people would
rather see them escape to a land of freedom
and plenty than to be kept in a state of want
and suffering in their native land for poiti-
cal effect But the lower stratum of hui
manity always has been. football for the
higher, and there is no immediate change
of this rule in sight now so that the shi p
load of paupers tossed in our direction for
political reasons, must be tossed back upon
the care of the government that has made
them pauperS.

ELIZABETH Pa, is trying to live up to its
feminine name by establishing the fact that
men of that town have no rights which the
women are bound to respect. Several young
ladies of the place had selected quiet nook by
the riverside where they were accustomed to
semble and spend part of the summer even
ings in discussing important affairs of their own
and their neighbors. The spot was quiet only
when the girls were not there. In its vicinity
was boarding house, and horrid, cross-grained
man had room overlooking the river bank. He
said the Cabling and giggng-they called it
conversation and aughter-of those young wo-
men was enough to drive man to crime, and he
would not submit 10 it. Then this foolish man,
who thought himself capable of circnmventing
ten women, went out and painted the
stones where the girls sat with tar.
When they came that night they COW
cred the stones with oil-cloth, found
conveniently near, and made merry as before

next morning warrants were served on the girls
to appear before the burgess and answer to "a

the magistrate adjourned to larger hall The
prosecution utterly failed to prove that the girls

boarding-house, while the triumphant maidens
gather at their favOrite haunts and sing: "Werl

The other day General II. v Boynton was
waited upon by a native Kentuckian who
had adopted Cincinnati for his home. The
visitor was tall man, with a good-humored
face and a blonde mustache. He was of mod
est appearance and apparently of retiring
disposition, for he came into Boynton's office
in timid way, and knocked softly on the
door of the inner apartment, first, however,
removing a shiny silk hat and holding it in

"Well, General, you're in troubl e, and I've
