of which he is member, though ready to
publish his charges to the universe. In note

the New-York alumni of Cornell. Mr. Warner

1lWv4KERS DECIDING Law.

The Thomson murder trial in Kentucky has
ended. as there was every reason to suppose 1t
wpuld. in the acquital Of the accused. The
verdict WAS received with the widest demon
STATIONS of 10Y 10y the occupants OF The crowded
courtroom. and Ltt,e Phil is now tho hero
of Kentucky. He has won his acquittal at the
cost of his wife's honor, and has won it, too,
without giving her chance 20 prove her inno-
cence. He shot his enemy in the back rs he
was retreatng, and he did it on the evidence of
a disgraced woman whose word his own iather
refuses to believe. The disgraced and dishon-
ored wife, whose doom was pronounced by the
ury which made the husband hero, Is now
living with that husbands father, who declares
his faith in her innocence. This Is Kentucky
Justice. and of this stun Kentucky heroes are
made.
In order that this hero might be saved from
the lawful penalty for his crime, two distin-
guished American statesmen were called To his
defence, One, ID. w. Voorhees,. is United
States Senator from Indiana, tue other, j. c. >
Blackburn, is q Congressman from Kentucky.
AS both men are among the Nation S law
makers their views on the relations oil the citi-
zen to the law are interesting. Senator oprhecs
made what we are told was most eloquent
plea. lie spoke repeatedly of the cold ma
ture of law The phraseolOgy of the indict-
ment was "cold.r The counsel for the State
were rebuked for saying that Thompson should
have appealed to the cold law for vengeance"
A man who should thus appeal would become
q mark of detesation, and even well-bred dogs
would give him the right of way" And then
Mr.. Voorhees, made this remarkable utterance ::
Gentlemen this is the first time that this State
. has ever dshonored itself by such II prosecu-
ton" We submit that thisis very remarkable
language for II lawmaker to use. Law at best
is undoubtedly somewhat "cod," but in what
wav il n State dishonored y by striving to en-
force it?
Mr. Blackburn went even further. In an ad-
dress. which for eoquence" seems to have
nearly ecipsed that of the distinguished states
man who preceded him, he said "There is but
one tribunal on earth where cases like this OF
"Ihompson's can be adjusted. 1t is a tri-
bunal in which conscience sits on the bench.
ats Judgments are traced in blood. 1t has the
sanction of the law of humanity wherever
"civilzation prevails. 1t is Gods law and you
@cannot reverse it, According to this the pis-
toll Is the Kentucky conscience, and homicide is
the law of G cd. 1t is small wonder that Ken
lucky juries disregard the law entirely in find
Jug their verdcts when they are thus in
structed by members of the highest lawmaking

LOWERING THE PUBLIC SERVICE.

T.
Governor Cleveland was nominated on a
Uniform one of whose planks contains protest
against "lowering the standard of the public
service For his own sake, and still more for
the credit of the State, we would be loath to be-
heye that lie would knowingly administer his
Great Office in such manner rs TO Justify the
assumption that he really did not have regard
TO this plank But the fact remains that one
of his important appointments is so discredit-
able as to be positively disgraceful. 1t lowers
the standard of public service as it has not been
lowered before in many year The Governor
has elevated to II prominent position man so
lacking in character that not little that he has
printed and published Is little better than so
much of contribution to obscene literature.
1t is charitable to conclude that the Governor
appointed this low fellow without thoroughly
informing himself Of his character and ante
cedents-a piece Of carelessness that the ap-
pointing power never ought to be guilty of.
But the salient question comes up, How did it
happen that the Governor was so imposed
upon? 1t is understood that this obscene
writer was commended to the Governor by the
Lieutenant G overnor. Was Mr.. Hill, them de-
ceiyed. as well as Mr. Cleveland? Or did he

Neither children nor politicians should play
with edged tools. Or at least they should take
care not to turn the edge the wrong way. The
County Committee of the County Democracy
seem to be meddling with dangerous weapons
when they adopt such resolution as one OF
those drawn up and accepted at their meeting
last night. This says that the attempts OF
bodies authorized to confirm or reject nomina-
tions, to usurp the power of appointment
manifested in the demand, now frequently made
that they be allowed to dictate the nomina-
tons, is in violation" etc, ETC. The laws OF
grammar evidently had no terrors for the
author of that resolution, but the meaning Is
clear. 1t is of course intended to cover the
Tammany Senators with confusion. But while
it invites public condemnation for their mis-
deeds, does it not az the same time put the
County Democrats at the City Hall in the pill
lory Are not our Aldermen continually at
tempting to dictate nominations After this
rebuke we shall expect to see meek and chast-
| ened spirit among the half dozen County Demo
