why we are all so bitterly indignant al the

A WEAK EXCUSE.

The indianapolis Sentinel the same thatre-
vamped the silly Islander about Mrs. Blaine
says. utterly forgetful of the declaration of
the Convention that nominated George B.
Mcclellan: 1.-The Democrats never pro-
nounced the war failure. They declared
during one of the darkest periods Of the
struggle that it mad been a failure up TO that
time to restore the Union" Well, here is
a distinction without difference, for once.
VIII the Sentinel explain why it was de-
cIarcd that the war was a failure up to that
time? Was it done to help the Union
savers in their heroic struggle? To whom
did it give comfort and encouragement? In
what part Of the country was the plank in
the platform greeted with plaudits and
artillery salutes? Who was it who quoted
it to European Governments in order TO
encourage them to acknowledge the indie
pcndence of the Southern Confederacy?
If the war was failure up to 1864, then it
was failure to preserve the Union of
States, and hence we would be driven to
confess that there had been success, to that
hour, in disunion. There is no wiping it
out that the declaration was intended to
have Just the effect General Johnston said
it would have, l. e., give the Confederates
courage to prosecute the rebellion another
year.

THE effort being made in this city to curb
the boldness of the liquor concert saloons
is commeniable They have so taken
possession of some streets as almost to drive
evening business from the blocks in which
they are situated. They are noisy, vulgar,
lures to youth, and the haunts OF depraved
men. Decent men and modest women are
forced to 90 out of their way to avoid the
pest holes which belch forth boisterousness
and rowdyism from their broad-spread
doors. IF the Trustees wish to they can
close the places up by an ordinance for
bidding free entertainment upon stages in
places where liquors are sold, except where
a majority of the residents within a given
district consent. This optional regulation
has been tried in Missouri and elsewhere,
and is successful. The idea Of pursuing
the proprietors when there is a charge OF
keeping disorderly house is not a safe
one. as it is always difficult to prove what
constitutes a disorderly house. The better
plan is to prohibit them, except where resi-
dents consent This will permit unob-
jectionablc places, and close out the filthy
ones.
