Shall Crime BE COndoned?

The Republican party has called it
self the Grand Old Party" 1t de-
serves the title! lis early leaders were
as grand in love o Liberty as the modern
leaders are grand in love of Larceny.
1t was once grand in its Freedom-it is
now grand in its Fri; uds! 1t was grand
in its Lin oln, in its sumner and its
Gerrit SIN th-it is now grand in its
Arthur, its Kellogg. Its Kei er, its Dor
sey, its Bliss, its Bill Chandler and its
johnny OBr;en.
1t is no petty theft to steal Presi-
dency. There is grandeur of crime
in the purchase of a Presidential cleo
{ on; in the sale OF a Supreme Court
Judgeship: in the stealing of millions
OF dollars through Star-route frauds; in
the corrupt surrender of millions OF
acres of public lands TO railroad corpor-
ations; in Whisky Rings reaching into
the Exc ut We Chamb5": in Post-trader
frauds involving Ca met Ministers; in
Credit MObiIier bribery embracing Sen
ators and Congressman. and in ehe bold
official prot ctiOn OF public rob ers!
There is no Letit larceny about the
enormous fees drawn from the Treasury
under cover of the bogus ar-route
prosecutions!
The question now is whether the
ma rnificnnt crimes of the Grand Old
Party shall be condoned, or be punished
by the Punishment of their perpetrators
| from power. Are men who have stOl n
one Pres dental term and b astingly
purchased another to be allowed TIL d
| time to defy the will of the people by
refusing to permit an honest election. q
fair count and the Inauguration of the
successful candidate? Are robberies OF
! tie tarroute character to be repeated
and the criminals to be protected? Are
political lawyers and pet Congressman
| to continue to deplete the Treasury
! through eXtravagant fees as Govern
ment counsel and 10 receive pay at the
same time for settling" cases adverse
| " to the Governments intcres's? Are
we still TO have corrupt legislation ter
! favored corporations and monopolies
and against the rights and interests OF
the people?
Tlese are the questions to be decided
within the next six months. II depends
upon the democratic party to say how
they shall be answered. Only through
a Democrat President can the country
be saved from miSrule. Only through
a Democratic Adm nistration can the
Government be brought back to the
landmarks of b ne, ty. purity and econ
omy. Only through Democratic bl nd
ness and folly can the people be induced
TO condone the crimes of Republicanism
and continue a corrupt and dangerous
party in power.
Before the country makes mp its mind
to rid itself of the Grand Old Party il
will demand to be satisfied that the
Democracy is united and harmonious in
favor of effective adm nistrative reform
and strong Amer can policy. The
people want honest legislation, honest
elections, pure judiciary, the pro &C.
ton and elevation of labor, the proper
re friction of corporate power, reduced
taxation, economy and simplicity in adj
ministration and assured punishment
for official crime. If the candidates
and harmony of the Democratic party
assure these reforms, the days of Re-
publ canism viii be numbered.-M Y

NEW YORK, May 1.-The announcement
of the failure of James X. Keene, the well
known Wall street operator, was received by
many with incrednlity. 1t created at first
tremendous excitement among the smaller
dealers and operators, who had apparently
no anticipation of such result. The effect
on the market was not appreciable yester-
day afternoon, as the announcement came
so late. Very little accurate infOrma-
ton could be gained in regard to the
failure, although rumOrS of a most
contradictory nature were circulated i'll
great numbers. 1t was learned, however.
that Keene has. for some time past, confined
his stock operations to transactions in priv
iIeges and selling puts and calls. A large
number of these contracts fell due yester-
day and IT was said Keene began paying
them off. and after spending S150,000 in
cashing the differences resulting from the
falling market, he found himself running
short, and having no more money at his
command, lie was forced to refuse the stock
rendered him. The news spread, and soon
his Office was besieged with customers and
creditors, who fought with each other to gain
entrance His secretary, Dir. Wells, confirmed
the reports of his failure to meet his engage
nents, and said it was owing to unfavorable
speculation. He said Mr.. Keene would make
no statement to the public at present. but
would furnish a statement at an early day
to those who are interested in his affairs.

exertions of q very disrepu' able lot OF
hack pol ticians, without principle,
without scruple, who work for their
personal advancement and expect to be
paid with Office or patronage if he is
one of the most desperate gangs of adj
venturers this country has seen since
the days of Aaron Burr"
And along with tbs warning we see
conferences of leading Republicans Of
Pennsylvania and New York at New
York City to consult "on the sdvisa-
bility of making a public declaration
that they will not, under any circum-
stan eS, accept Arthur, LoTan or Blaine
as a cand date for the Presidency"
These three men are the most promi-
nent and active candidates for the nonl-
nation, and they are chiefs in the
party. One is President of the United
States; 8 second is member of the
Senate and leader of his party in Hill
nois; the third has been Speaker of the
House, Senator and Secretary OF State,
and is declared by his friends to be tie
most popular man in the party. Yet
the party is warned that it must set all
three aside because neither of them
ought to be elected; two of them are
offensive on personal grounds, and
the third is unsafe for grave public
reasons.
Let it be observed that this Repub-
lican OBJ ecton to President Arthur.
Senator Logan and Mr.. Blaine is, not
that it will be difficult and perhaps i'm
possible to elect either of them. but that
neither of them on hit to e elected
that there are high and strong public
reasons why either of them, # nomi-
mated, ought to be defeated by Repub'
lican votes.
1t NAV be asserted that such q
spectacle as this was never seen in the
country before. of three thiefs of the
dominant party, and the only cand
dates for the nomination, thus openly
denounced by powerful and respectai he
bodies in his own camp, rs unfit Tor the
honor which they alone covet.-St'

Postal Telegraph.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The House Com
mittee on POst-offices and Post-roads unani-
mously agreed upon a bill ''To secure
cheaper telegraphic correspondence" and
directing Representative Rogers to report it
at the first opportunity. The bill is based
on the Senate bill and consists of number
of provisions of that measure, with amend
ments to others. The provision creating
the office of fourth assistant postmaster
general is eliminated as are all sections OF
the Senate hill providing for the cOnStruc-
| ton of Government postal telegraph sys-
TEN in case 10 contract is made with a COM
pany. The section of the Senate bill rela-
| tive to rates is considerably amended. 1t
provides: THAT charges for the transmits
sion of kilograms, excepting service and
Government telegrams, shall be prepaid by
telegram stamps or stamped paper and the
maximum rates for kilograms of twenty
words or less, exclusive of date, address and
signature, when the distance is 800 or I'M
der, shall be twenty-five cents; for every $50
miles or fraction thereof in excess of / 500
miles, an additional rate of five cents may be
charged, and between the cities of New
York Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and
Washington, and such other points separated
| by short distances as may be from time
designated by the Postmaster General, the
rate shall not be more than fifteen cents day
or night. Provided that no rate shall ex-
coed fifty cents for kilograms to be trans
mitted by night, except as above stated.
The charges for night service shall be one
half the day rates. All words shall be
counted except the date. address and sigma
ture, and for every five additional words or
less, one-ffth of the additional rate may be
charged" The provision relative to penal
ties is amended to read: For failure or
neglect to promptly and carefully transmit
any message, the contracting company or
companies shall be liable to the parties in
/ jured thereby in the penal sum of 500, to-
| gether with the actual damages sustained by
reason thereof, to be recovered by the party
| injured in a civil action before any court of
competent jurisdiction" A provision is
/ inserted that no contract shall be made with
any company which has not one thousand
miles of telegraph line in actual operation
| The Postmaster General is directed TO make
all necessary rules and regulations for car
rying out the provisions of the proposed act.

A Curious Sight.

The Republican camp in the United
States is, at this moment, the theater
of an extraordinary spectacle. the
day is rapidly approaching when Re-
publican cand date for President is to
be presented 10 the country, and the
party is busy choosing the delegates
WAC are to choose that candidate; aud
the adherents of the three most con-
spicuous solicitors of the high honor are
zealously struggling to secure delegates
pledged to their respective chic 8. But
in the midst of this exciting work come
menacing movements agsinst these
three aspirants. The abb st RepublIo an
paper in New York sounds note of
warning, and tells the party that ne Their

nominated, for neither can be or ought
to be elected One is supported and

THE DISPUTE SETTLED.

The Kansas Board of Commissioners ans
the Sarta Fe Railroad Come 60 an In
derstanding.
TOPEKA, May 1.-The prolonged conflict
between the Board of Railroad Commis-
sioners and the Santa Fe Company over
freight rates Is now being terminated n .
settlement of the differences that appear %
oe of q satisfactory character. The COM
pany has agreed tn reduce its rates on tho
distance tariff about thirty per cent said
reductions being largest on long hanlS-
This tariff prescribes rates on freight car
RED between stations within the State
and to not apply to shipments made to and
from points upon the Missouri River.
The Commissioners and the company
have also agreed upon reductions az
Great Bend and Newton. The reductions
embrace rates on all classes OF merchandise
and the reduced rates will apply on the
Company's lines in Kansas, including the
branches. Under the new tariff rules on
grain, -four and live stock, the rates viii be
lower than rates on the same articles IN
Iowa or Wisconsin. The reductions on coal
and lumber are also quite liberal. The
rates last named are those for shipments 70
and from Missouri River points. 1t Is also
agreed that the new local tariff VIII Do
scaled upon the new rates at Newton and
Great Bend. The reduction will not apply
to rates on the east end of the road. Here
| tOfore the Commissioners have directed that
those rules were already reasonable. In
fact they are as low as rates foA similar
distances on roads in the State
of Illinois. 1t is on the middle
cid western parts of the line that
these new reductions will be made. The
Company has indicated that it accepts the
Boards Interpretation of the law IS regards
the validity of the special rates. The Board
has also on several occasions and uniformly
| held that the law was sufficiently flexible
to permit such tariff. The new tariff has
not been fully completed yet, but it is ex-
pected that the revises will go into effect In
a few days. A member of the Board said-
The Board of Railroad Commissioners
have been holding a conference with Mr..
Goddard, of the Santa Fe Railroad, for
the past week and have arrived at q
satisfactory adjustment of the rates
between Missouri River points and New
ton and Great Bend, which are very much
below their present rates when taken as
whole, and in some instances are slightly in
advance of the rates heretofore fixed by the
Board. The Company accepts the Com
miSsiOnerS' Interpretation OF the law in re-
spect to special tariffs, or rates, to meet
commercial necessities when the business
seems to require them, but it must be UNI
derstoOd that these rates will be special as
to the commodities and not as to individuals
! or localities.
