A SINGULAR FACT.

In the history Of political parties in
| the United States the student fails to
/ find the record Of one that has been
held together by the same power and
influences which have controlled the
Republican organization. As = polit-
ical party 1t is an anomoly. The
offspring Of decayed parents it inner
tied their corruption without their
virtues. It has fallen to pieces by its
own weight in nearly every State in
the Union but at the approach of
every National contest, like the
jointed snake, it puts itself together
and presents a solid front to its me
my. 1t has outgrown and outlived
the vital principles which sustained
1t during the first few years Of its
%existance, yet 1t still hangs together.
1t has Its faction fights for spoils but
when a contest involves the retention
of power all minor questions r held
subordinate to that consideration.
The explanation Of this Is t 'und in
the fact that the party trucxle' to
fanaticism; that extremists Of all
sorts pin their faith and their polili.
Cal hopes to the party, and that capi-
tai. represented by huge monopclies
and soulless corporations, is from self
interest with it. No matter how far
ii. may wrangle and fight for spoils
of Office and how little it regards the
welfare Of the laboring poor, when
the party bugle is sounded to close
ranks the order is oteyed. This is
singular, but nevertheless, 1t is true.
Republicans of intelligence and
integrity deplore the degeneracy of
their party. They acknowledge the
worthlessness of it's al LIS and the cor
ruption of its leaders. They know that
its great issues are dead and that
long continued power has given 1t
over to the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
managers. They talk about and
decry Credit Mobiliers, Star Route
robb .ries, official frauds, bribery,
and. the well known corruption of
its party leaders and the failure of
the Government to bring public
thieves to justice and still vote the
ticket. They forget
their virtuous indignation as o as

In Committee of the Whole. Con
verse IN the chair, the Naval Appro,,

the appropriation foF completing the

was ridiculously small. When the
new cruisers were finished there
would be nothing I'd put upon them
but some smooth bore pop
guns. There was SO 90 1000 worth
of property on tie Pacific Coast and
4 little country like Chilli could in
three weeks destroy every dol
lars worth. Chill had five armed
vessels while the Uni,ei States hal
not q vessel 'al1oat that could
stand before them Len minutes. If
they were I'LL together In front Of one
of three Of the Gillian vessels, she
would sink every .ne Of them. It
was true the United States was III
in the presence of an enemy but the
TACT remained that she had po. keted

she could enforce her rights.

letters which Miss Grubbs wrote him, some of
which were very affectionate. Had he not been

AN UNJUSTIFIABLE OUTRAGE.
A Detective Throws an Innocent Man Into
Jail Oh a Charge Of COunterfeiting.

Mention was made in the papers, yesterday
morning, of the arrest OF John jaeger, in an East
Washington street saloon. by John Mckinney,
on charge of eounteTfeiting. jaeger is a painter,
who came to the city from Brooklyn Ind. He
had $40 bill which had been paid him for
work and when he offered it in payment for a
email bill at the bar it was pronounced counter
felt. Without making any effort to ascertain
whether or not the DILL was genuine, Mckinney,
who has the powers of a policeman, al
though not regular officer arrested jaeger
and had him locked up in the po-
lice station The alleged counterfeit
bill is as good as any Treasury note in circula-
ton, and it was pronounced genuine yesterday
by Police Commissioner Frenzel. However,
jaeger is still in the station-house, and for no
other reason than that man with police pow
ors, who is incapable of distinguishing counter
felt money from genuine, or is unwilling to do
SO, was pleased to place him there. 1t is not an
unfrequent occurrence that unwarranted arrests
are made In this case, the action of the man
with police authority is so apparently unjustii-
able that the metropolitan commissioners can
hardly allow the matter TO pass without some
attention. There ought to be some profession
