Politics and Money.

Since the Republican party came into power
there has been a tendency TO depend more and
more upon money in politics, and this ten
dency eliminated in the frauds of 1850, when
the candidate for President according to the
Secretary of the Republican National Com
mittee, was '-morbidly insane on raising mon
now become SO dangerous that it is n serious
question whether money or manhood is to
rule this country. For our own part we
should consider IL sufficient condemnation
OF any party to have raised a campaign fund
by bargain with Gould, the bargain with Nor
ton, the letter to Brady and the assessments
of Hubbell-to say nothing of the natural
sequence, the bribery in Indiana and New
York SuGdlO Courier.
How scrupulously virtuous our Dem
ocratic contemporaries have become of
late-since Stephen A. Dorsey has taken
position as leader in the secret coun-
ellis of that party. The fact is that
money occupies no higher position as a
political factor now than l. did when
Democracy was the dominating power
in National affairs. 1t has always been
used to a considerable extent in the cam
vases of parties and candidates since
our Government was established. 1t
was used before that, for the same or
similar purposes, in every country of
the world where partisan rivalries ex-
isted. 1t continues TO be used iD pro-
noting the ends of politicians every
where, and even more lavishly in fol-
eign lands than here. 1t will be used
hereafter. universally, in various ways,
to advance the progress OF theories in
poit cs and the ambitions of individuals
engaged in political act vities, as long
as human nature remains unchanged.

A Case Of Mistaken Identity.

Probably the most surprised man in
the city yesterday was Mr.. Joseph Will
len, of No. 120 North Pine street, who,
through mistaken identity, pronounced
his wife, Mrs. Wilhelmina Willen, dead
Mrs. Willen had intended to go to Bay
Ridge on Monday, but after leaving
home met some friends who persuaded
her to accompany them to Tivoli. Her
husband learned of this, aud was wait
ing at the Light Street wharf for the last
boat in order to meet her. She, howev-
er. came up on an earlier trip, and get
ting off at Henderson's s wharf proceeded
to her home. Mr.. Willen waited all
night at Light street for the Cockade
CITY, which came no further than Hen
derson's wharf, and upon learning of
the accident hastily drove to Hender-
sons wharf. He inquired for his wife,
but no one knew her, though he was
told that there was dead body in the
baggage-room which answered the de-
scription he gave. He viewed the body.
In every way 1t resembled Mrs. Wllen,
and with fearful eyes he pronounced it
to be that of his wife. He ordered an
undertaken to remove the body, and
went home completely broken down.
Upon entering the house he told his sis
ter that his wife was dead, and seemed
very much affected. ''Your wife isn't
dead" said the lady; ''she is in her
room" Mr.. Willen refused to believe
his wife living until she was called down
stairs, and his feelings can better be
imagined than described.
The news that Mrs. Willen had been
drowned had spread far and wide, her
name having been printed among the
list of persons lost, and all during the
afternoon many friends called to offer
their sympathy only to be assured that
she lived So numerous did these visit
ors become that the lady finally took a
seat at the front window, and spoke to
them as they came up to the door to
condole with what they thought the be-
reaved family.-Bdltim0re Ddu.

A Horse Choked by a Snake.

Superintendent Lyon, of the Barclay
Coal Mines, was in the city Wednes-
day, and told an advertiser reporter
the following snake story, the authen-
ITCHY of which, he said, could be vouched
for by several reliable citizens: Tues
day last a boy was engaged in blowing
on the farm of a man named Wilkinson,
between Greenwood and Monroeton, in
Bradford County, when he saw an enor-
nous black snake lying stretched along
on the ground near the fence. Fright
ened by the reptile, the boy dropped
the line and started on a>run for the
house. Reinforced here by several mem-
bers of the family, he went back, when
one of the horses was found lying on
the ground with the python tightly
coiled about his neck. The snake was
dispatched, when'it was found that the
horse was dead, his. life having been
choked out by the snake. .''--EImsra IN.
