4 DANGEROUS rETDEncY.

The lYnching of the crazy desperate
Jones at Wellington, Monday morning,
affords another illustration of the dan
gerous extremes to which popular ex-
citement may lead men who In cooler
moments may find what they have done
life long cause of regret. The slow
processes OF law, and the frequency of
the escape of criminals deserving punish
ment are often spoken of as indicating a
blunted moral sense II this age, but to
rs a more dangerous tendency is the too
frequent chafng at the restraints of law
in attempting to make wrong right. So
long as the courts are as efficiently or.
ganized as IN this state, and the interests
of justice are as promptly and sub
the very least shadow Of excuse for lynch
law at any time, and no community can
afford to have fair name stained by an
act so worthy of condemnation as the
lynchlng at Wellington. It is worthy of
note that the good citizens of that place,
even IN the midst of natural and deep in
dignation at the deeds of the murderous
desperate, are earnest IN their expres-
sIons of regret at the act OF the more
rash spirits who thus took the law in
their own hands. The alarming fire.
quency of sach outbreaks, especially
throughout the W, st, indicates dagger
Gus popular tendency and one
that cool headed and thoughtful men
caGn1t be too emphatic IN deprecati ng.
With the formative condition of our new
civilization and the numerous elements
that it is the task of our government to
assimilate, this tendency I'd laWltssness
becomes q grsver and broader probe %
than might seem at a superficisl view
as an able political economist has ex.
pressed it: "Obedi, nee to law is the
supreme lesson to be learned in ouI
modern civilization"

THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT

THE IN1ERIOR DEPARIHENT.
OF all the great departments of the
government OF the United States, none
have Jurisdiction over 80 great diver
sitY of interests as the department of the
interior.
The pension office, which must settle
the claims for pensions made by the SOL
dIers, and the widows and minors of SOL
dIers, of all the wars In which the coun-
try has been engaged; and which must
also see to the payment of the pensions
when allowed; the patent office, which
must render its decisions upon the in
ventive genius of the country; the land
Office, the duties of which are obvious /;
the Office of Indian affairs, which must
grapple with the great problem OF how
best to treat the Indians; these, and q
multitude of minor offices, involving
important questions of public policy, are
grouped under the interior department I
presided over by one head, to whom all
appeals from the decisions of the heads
of the offices above enumerated must be
made.
1t will be seen at once that the Office
of the secretary of the interior is no
sinecure, and that a greater versatility of
mind is required to conduct it acceptably
aud successfully than is ordinarily found
comprised in one person. 1t is not only
that extraordinary legal ability and
rare judgment in rendering decisions on

quired; there is also needed that kind
of executive ability that creates har-
mony among the subordinate chiefs
aud the thousands of other employees
of the department, and which results in
eliclting for the government quota OF
labor fully commensurate with the ex-
penditure required to sustain it
In the selection OF the Hon. Henry NJ,
Teller, of Colorado, for position in the
cabinet involving the portfolio of the
interior department, President Arthur
made a choice, the wisdom of which
has been shown by subsequent events
Mr.. Teller las exactly the right quail
ifications for the place. He is trained
lawyer of undoubted ability, he had been
elevated to the dignity of the senate OF
the United States, and in the course of
his senatorship had become thoroughly
familiar. with the workings OF all the de.
paFtments, and when the department OF
the interior was confided to his charge
he was fully competent to conduct 1t.
Mr.. Teller works more hours than any
one of his subordlnates, but the strict
attention he gives to the duties OF his
high Office render this unavoidable. He
has been from the first, and is to-day,
the strongest man ia the cabinet, and
if, upon his retirement therefrom, he
does not insist upon retiring to private
life, the people of Colorado could not do
that state greater honor than To again
return Mr. Teller to the senate OF the
United States.

THE oONrEsr ~ 0HLo.

The contest for political supremacy in
Ohiopromises to be hot and spirited. The
Republicans go into the fight with the
prestige Of the glorious Victories of
Maine and Vermont; the ever present
consciousness Of being on the side of the
right, of having brought millions OF
bondmen into freedom; OF having MAN.
tanned the union which It's opponents
were at one time ready 10 destroy, and
of having brought TO the country at
large an era OF prosperity unparalleled in
its history.
The Democracy with the antipodes
OF this magnificent record hanging
about their necks. will dou biless en-
deavor TO overcome it by paint
ing Ohio green with the currency OF the
republic; for there is every indication
that money will be used by them
without stint. The Cincinnati Enquirer
having trained its guns on Cleveland
prior TO HE nomination, and having
been compelled by the nomination to
take huge doses OF crow, has begun an
indiscrimInate fire all along the line in
the hope Of sIlencing the guns of the enc
my or compelling surrender, but like
the guns of the New York Herald, they
are 80 badly served that when their shot
and shell do not go over or fall short the
recoil Of the gun settles the business;
and IL is notorious that political candi-
dates supported by either of these papers
are sure TO suff II defeat. With all this,
John Mclean has plenty OF money and
will pou: it out.
Mr.. Henry Payne can be relied on to
bring the Standard OIL company into
line where il can be ready for the order
to charge upon the enemy but
there may be some difficulty in the
response. The Standard Oil company is
q great monied monoply-its president
and directors are rich, but its rank and
die are work Ingmen who perfectly un-
erstand the attitude of the Democracy
towards them as a class, and know pre-
cIselY what MIR. Cleveland has done
against them whenever he has had the
opportunity. Heoce they may not move
with that alacrIty which would be thor.
oughly agreeable to the monopolists.
With all this Mr.. Payne has an abund-
ance Of money and will pour 1t out.
1t would be q gross and unwarrant-
able imputation upon the hon.
or and integrity of the average
American workman to hint even that
his note could be bought like a commo-
dity IN the market, and yet this is what
is meant to be understood by the Payne
Mclean combination in Ohio.
1t Is a matter of cOngrstulation that
the Republicans of that state are fully
posted ON all the ms and outs of their
opponents. 1t is q matter of congratu-
lation that every square mile of terri
tory In the state has been aud is being
traversed by speakers of ability appeal
ing to the intelligence and patriotism
and to the moral good aense of the peo-
pie to save the state from the mercenary
rule sought TO be imposed upon it; and
it lie still further a matter OF congratula.
ton that the indications for the Repub-
lican success in Ohio grows daily and
that 1t will eliminate in q great Repub-
lican triumph In October.

A NIGGARDLY PUBLIC POLICY.


Dispatches from Washington convey
the information that no action relative
to the erection of public building at st.
Joseph, LeavenWOrth, Minneapolis and
Syracuse, for which partial provision
was made by the last congress, will be
taken until the question whether or not
the supervising architect could make
plans and specifications for buildings
costing more than q certain limit pro-
vided by congress, is decided. In other
words, congress having provided for the
erection of certain public buildings and
having made appropriations entirely In
adequate to their construction upon q
scale commensurate with their require
ments, the supervising architect desires
TO be informed by the law officer of the
government whether he shall cut the
coat according to the cloth, and produce
few wretched structures that will
not answer the purpose for which they
are designed or whether he shall en-
large his plans and depend upon future
congress TO make the necessary appro-
priatIon for their fulhllment.
1t is altogether probable that the Opin-
ion of the law officer Will be that the
architect cannot exceed the limits pro-
vided by congress, and that he must
either suspend his work altogether until
congress meets IN December or
go on and put up insignificant
buildings, that will have, in very short
space of time, to be replaced by others.
II is penY-wise- pound foolish policy
which no political party can really hope
to make any capital out of, and yet the
Democratic house haye taken this occa-
sion TO pose before the people as public
economists by cutting down the appro-
priations in the matter of public build :
Ings to a point at which they knew they
could not be produced.
The architect Is of cousre
entitled to ali the time requisite to pre-
pare his plans, and it. is more than prob
able that he will be until December IN
getting ready for action; thus gIvIBg con-
gress an opportunity to correct its blum
der; but even so the extra expense will
be very considerable. and while alto
gether jussi6able under the circumstan-
ces, this extra expense would not have
been incurred but for this niggardly pub
| lie policy.
