IN appointing six cadets at large to the
West Point Military Academy Secretary
Lincoln did not forget his native State,
Illinois. In fact, he remembered it to u
large extent by appointing two young gem
tlemen from that State-one the son of
Senator Logan. There were thirty-eight
States to select cadets at largo from, but
Illinois was entitled to two, and so got
them.

THE cable brings US piece of news that
has decided flavor of the Dark Ages. 1t
recalls the times when our pious but su-
perstitions and bigoted ancestors burnt
heretics and witches at the stake, branded
Baptists and clipped the ears of Quakers.
During that gloomy period the prosecutions
the unfortunate Jewish people were SUBJ
jected to are standing reproach to human
ity and stain upon the Christian civiliza-
tion Of the world. Happily most Christian
peoples have long passed the prosecuting
period and put the ugly and cruel super
stitions of their ignorant ancestors behind
them. Yet, from time to time, there occur
scenes which show only too plainly that
there are still thousands Of persons, If not
whole peoples, who, mentally, are still liv-
ing in the Dark Ages. The late outrages
committed on the Jews in Russia and the
Crusade preached against them in Ger
many are only too emphatic witnesses of
this humiliating state of affairs.
And now comes this latest accusation.
The scene is Hungarian town and the
crime charged against the Jews is that of
Wandering Christian maiden to obtain her
blood to mix with their passover bread.
This is charge that was frequently made
during the Dark Ages and can only be pos
sible of belief at time when the minds of
the people are saturated with superstition
and bigotry, the parents of hate and
cruelty. This indictment, horrible, yet
grotesque, has been seriously taken and a
number of Jews are on trial for their lives.
1t is almost impossible that they can have
fair trial, and the chances are that they
Will die, victims of ignorant, debasing
prejudice

THE DUEL between Editors Beirne and
Elan has resulted in another of those
fascoes which have brought Virginia
dnels into contempt aud have made the
would-be duellists ridiculous. 1t was not
question of caps this time, but of pistols.
1t seems that when Mr. Elan accepted Mr.,
Beirne's summons to the field he named
Colts revolyers. When the parties ar
rived on the scene which was to-, but did
not, witness their proves and va,or, the
discovery was made that the reyolyers
brought by the Elan party did
not bear the magic name Of Colt. This was
voted to be a serious matter, and much
time, enough to slaughter dozen men in
accordance with the code, was consumed ia
discussing the situation. Finally it was

THE CRITIC ABROAD,

"You have heard about John Mclean,
editor and proprietor Of the Cincinnati En-
qmrey, leasing magnificent residence
facing La Fayette Square, l presume" !"
said an Ohio statesman of the Democratic
faith to the Critic last night.
"Oh, yes but what of it ?" inquired the
Critic.
"Well, you know that General Hazen,
Chief of the Signal Service Bureau, got
into hot water last session. He was soundly
berated by Congressman Beltzhoover. He
asked for Congressional investigation and
was snubbed by Secretary Lincoln. He
was threatened with military court
of inquiry, but that was STAYED off in
some manner, and of late nothing
has been said on the subject
1t is said that the next Congress will take
the bureau in hand and place it on more
satisfactory footing. Hazen, it is further
reported, does not feel very safe in his seat.
Outside of Beltzhoover's spirited attack
nothing has been urged against him. Still
there is no knowing what Congress may do,
and the doughty General is. of course, anx-
ious to retain one of the softest places con-
nected with the Army. Hazen is son-in-
law of Wash Mclean, late proprietor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Mclean takes q
natural pride in his welfare.
1T is regarded as somewhat significant,
that Mclean has leased aspaclous mansion
looking into La Fayette Park. He is to
take possession in October, and will spend
next winter at Washington. The gossps
say Mclean will entertain in princely
fashion. He will be particularly attentive
to Senators, Congressman and high Govern
ment officials. This hospitality will be but
the means to an end, and that end the re-
tcntion of Hazen as Chief of the Signal Ser
vice. Mclean is said to be convinced that
the next Administration will be Demo-
cratic. With a Democrat in the White
House, Bazen might stand little show amid
the general clamor. for office. McLeau's
banquets are expected to make him solid
and give him strength to prolong the
official life of his son-in-law. At any rate,
this is the view taken on the Avenue. 1t
seems to be plausible scheme, and may
work"
Well, my friend, I" said the Critic, "that
is very plausible story but suppose it is
true, what objection can there be against
Mr.. Mclean entertaining Senators and
Representatives with view of retaining
his son-in-law in Office if he chooses to do
it? 1t costs nobody but Mclean anything,
and certainly there can be no objection
urged against such action"
That may be very true, but it only goes
to show that men will sometimes spend
three times as much money to obtain and
hold an Office as the salary amounts to.
That is the paint with me. / don't see
how man who will spend $4,000 for an
office, the salary of which for four years
does not amount to more than $4,000, can
afford it. That is all have to say on the
subject"
The Evening critic., 1883-06-23


WHAT to do with the Apaches captured
by General Crook, is the question now dis
turbing the Administration, particularly
the Interior and War Departments. Secre-
tary Teller insists that they shall not be
allowed to return to the San Carlos reser-
walton, and the reasons he gives are excel
lent, and were conclusive until General
Crook was heard from. This officer under
stands the Indian, and especially the Apache,
character better than any other living
white man. He says that the surrendered
warriors must be permitted to return
to the reservation or they will go
back to the mountains and continue
their desolating guerrilla warfare until
the last of them dies They surrendered,
in reality, not to Secretary Teller, Secre-
tary Lincoln, the President, nor even to the
United States Government, but to General
Crook, whom they fear and respect. He
promised to do what he could to get them
back on the reservation and If it is not
done his influence with them is gone. an
other war will ensue, many lives will be
lost, and it will all be chargeable to the Ca
price and obstinacy of those who refuse to
carry out General Crooks recommends
tions. He captured them. He better than
any other man knows what is best to do
with them.
The Evening critic., 1883-06-23

THE weather is glorious, and tomorrow
everybody will be tempted out of doors to
enjoy themselves. Riding, boating, driv-
ing, excursion by rail and boat will be in
order for those whose tastes run in those
directions and whose pockets can stand it.
Yet some of the most charming public
places about this city will be shut against
the public tomorrow, day in some re-
spects truly described as ''the poor mans
holiday" The Botanical Garden, the Con-
gressional Library, the National Museum,
and other attractive places will be grimly
closed against the people on the day when
of all others they should be kept open.
The Evening critic., 1883-06-23

A REPORT has been going the rounds for
several days, uncontradicted until re-
Gently. to the effect that Ex-Governor Col
quit, of Georgia, now United States Sena-
tor.elect, was indebted to the defunct Bank
of Georgia $500, and that he had declined
to pay the same, notwithstanding his
ability to do SO. The Atlanta Constitution
of the goth instant, referring to the mat
ter, says
Governor Colquitt does not owe tho bank one
cent. He did borrow, as he had perfect right
TO do, $500 from the bank. On the 10th of
August, 1881, he paid tho bank every dollar
he owed 1t, In check drawn on the Mercan-
tile National Bank OF New York. This check
Is now in his possession, having been paid
and returned to him. 1t was receipted for by
Mr.. Reynolds, the assignee, and paid every
dollar that he owed the bank.
This seems to be satisfactory, and, if true,
ought to settle the matter.

A day or two ago President Arthur and
another gentleman drove down Fifteenth
street and stopped just opposite Frank K.
Wards branch place of business, which is
in the Corcoian building, and opposite the
Treasury building.
A half-dozen newspaper men and quite
number of other citizens were standing
near the corner of Fifteenth and streets
when the President and his COM
panion alighted from the carriage.
All eyes, of course, followed His
Excellency, to see where he was going. In
moment the problem was solved. He and
his friend passed into Wards milk depot,
marched up to the counter, called for a
glass of buttermilk and a roll each, which
was furnished them by the polite clerk be-
hind the counter.
The President and his friend drank their
mug of milk, ate their roll and walked out,
got into their carriage and were driven
away, all of which goes to show that Presi-
dent Arthur is not so much of q sneb as
some people think.

An old-time duelist said to the Critic
this morning, in speaking of the last Vir-
ginia farce in the dueling line, that he was
satisfied that the report that they were to
fight at seven PAGES with Colts pistols and
advance after the first shot was mistake.
He was of the opinion that it was seven
hundred yards, aud that they were to re-
treat after the first shot. He was satisfied
that they were not to fight with pistols,
but with pop-guns.

II will tell you what would be very in
teresting reading just at this time said
well-posted gentleman to the Critic to-

'What is it? The Critic will publish

'It is this Publish the amount of wealth
represented on the Supreme Bench"
IF you can give me an idea as to what
it is, will give it to the world, not only
as an interesting fact, but as q piece of
news"
II can give it to you to dot. Judge
Blatchford is worth at least $13,000,000,
and has no children; nobody but his wife
and self; Judge Mathews is worth at a
very low estimate 100000; Wood, $780,
600; Waite, $250,ooo; Field, S75o,OO0 /;
Judge Gray, $150,O00. and he is an old
bachelor; Bradley, 100000. Judges Mil
Ter ami Harlan are both poor men. Their
only income is their salary. So you see
we have the enormous sum of $15,050,000
represented by seven men on the Supreme
bench-an average of 81, 125,000."

About Pork

In its weekly review of hog packing
operations in the Northwest. the
Cincinnati Price Current of Thursday
last says:
Notwithstanding the lessened move
ment of hogs the past week at CHICAGO
and some of the other prominent
places, the aggregate packing at ali
points has been 10000 greater than
corresponding week last year. the
total reaching 10000 hogs, against
333,OOOthe preceding week and 200, 900
for corresponding week last year and
since Nov. !, %aRgregating 4,7l5,0OO.
against 4,805, 900 at same date last wear
"a deficiency now of about 10000
The average weights this month are
gaining on corresponding time last
year, and hogs are generally reported
as OF excellent quality. Although
packing operations have been less act.
i've, values Of the product have been
fully maintained during the week, and
close at the lowest point for this
period, with some evidence that con-
tidenoe is not so strong as it has been.
The domestic demand has not oontin-
ued to respond readily to the recent
enhanced values. The trade, however,
generally entertains the view that
while stocks continue to be chiefly
owned by leading operators in the
large cities, with a limited short
interest at the prominent trading
points, values can not be essentially
depressed, and the tendency seems to
be regarded as favorable to some-fur-
