The abundance of self-made men in
the Democracy relieves the party OF the
necessity of falling back on candidates
who are the sons Of their fathers, and
nothing more. The probability, which Is
almost a certainty, that the Republicans
will nominate the present Secretary Of
War for the Vice Presidency shows
wherein that party differs from the De-
mocracy. Conscious of its infirmities,
and realizing the growth of its unpop-
ularity, the party in power is Obliged
to invoke the influence of Lincoln's
name and enter the contest with bor-
rowed plumage. 1t is the cunning ex-
pectation of the party leaders that,
while resting under the magic spell OF
Lincoln's name, the people will forget
how deep has been the degradation OF
the Republican party since the days
when he guided its destinies. We
hardly believe that voters are, as a
rule, so unthinking as to allow them
selves to be deceived by political leger'
demain Of that character.
Robert 7. Lincoln is a very good
young man. In the Cabinet his char
acter shines by contrast with that OF old
timers like Chandler. In the matter of
his personal integrity he has certainly
not disgraced his father. But while con-
ceding to Secretary Lincoln all the moral
attributes which his friends enthusiastic
cally, almost vehemently, claim for him,
everybody knows that he does not pos
sess the mental endowments desirable on
the part of the presiding officer OF the
Senate. Moreover, the fatefdl year OF
1881 ought to warn US against the
election of a Vice President who, in
the event of the Presidents removal or
disability would bring all the needed
mental requirements to the performance
of Executive duties. Now those re-
quirements are lacking in the case of the
present Secretary of War. They are
not his best friends who claim for him
a degree of ability which he does not
possess. 1t cannot be maintained that
were he not a Lincoln he would ever
have obtained notable political honors.
His name is the secret Of his
past political success. But has the
time arrived when the American people
are disposed to elevate to the highest
places in their gift young, or old, men
whose claims to consideration rest almost
exclusively on their family lineage? We
think not. The idea is senseless and
undemocratic.
The era of common sense in politics
has succeeded that of pure sentiment.
Much as they revere the memory OF
Abraham Lincoln, the voters of this
country are, in u judgment, not in
clined to manifest that reverence by be-
slowing the second highest elective office
upon his commonplace son. Were this
practice to prevail we would never wit
ness an end to the claims Of the descend
ants of popular Presidents. As soon as
we cease to elect Presidents and Vice
Presidents on their individual merits, a
dangerous and ~enervating custom will
have been established.
The Republican party is evidently
afraid to stand on its own deserts, and
herein is the cue to the Lincoln move
ment. But it will be one thing to nom.
mate young Mr.. Lincoln for the Vice
Presidency and another to elect him.

Matinyof a Regiment OF Irksh Militia
I,runlusn Meleo In Which MANY We're
Killed.
NEW YORK, June IA cable dispatch
to this city dated Limerick says: the most
exciting reports reached this city lastevcning
of a mutiny by the artillery militia on bSard
. vessel lying in the harbor down the river
Shannon. For some days past the militia
men who objected to their quarters on board
the ship have exhibited signs of insubordina-
ton. Yesterday afternoon, defying all
orders, they broke away from their float
ing barrack in boats, deserving their posts.
Flinging aside their arms and cursing
their officers. they departed with wild
shouts and made a landing at the town Of
Gin, some miles below Limerick. The
place is a small one, not mastering q thou
sand inhabitants. Immediately they reached
the river bank the mutineers advanced two
hundred strong on the town. The fright
ened people fled before the ruffians
who, half mob and half battalion, stormed
the place, beating the townsmen as they
ran, cutting bakers and provision shops,
and stealing whatever Of value they could
lay their hands on. Returning, they CELL
tered on the two or three wine and liquor
shops in the town, into which they broke,
and whisky, porter and ale flowed in gall
Ions.
While the besotted militiamen were get
ting drunk and filling the air with yells the
townsmen had gathered back of Gin and
had armed themselves with every conceiva-
BILE weapon from a shotgun to a pitchfork.
The few constabulary were powerless from
the beginning. With a grand rush and a
great yell the Glinsmen came down ON
the now maddened m%ilitiamen, and a
pitched battle ensued. Heads were smashed
on both sides. Citizens were beaten with
bottles, belts, chairs and table-legs. The
militlamen were shot, pitchforked land
dubbed, and finally broke and ran for the
water. They were pursued to the Shan
mons edge, and, bleeding, tattered and
bruised, made their way on board the vessel
they had deserted a couple of hours before,
and surrendered to their officers.
The pursuit was so hot and the threats
from the victorious Glinsmen of burning and
sinking the ship were so earnest that the
vessel, with the disabled and cowed mu-
tineers, at once put to sea. A number
were killed.

The Aunties.

The pure feminine negro is seen in
and about New Orleans in all her old
time glory. You see them in the
kitchens, on the street, in the horse-car,
everywhere anybody is seen, and there
is . similarity that is wonderful. They
are almost universally tieshy, without
visible necks, the head resting upon a
comfortable cushion Of fat on the
shoulder, with enormous arms, partly
bare, and no waist whatever. This APP
plies only to the middle-aged and old.
The young mes are as slim and jaunty
as need be, and why they should ac-
cumuIate flesh as their years roll on is
a mystery. But they do grow fat with
their increasing years. They are
more SO at sixty. What they would be
at one hundred may never be known.
Old or young, file by or lean, the love
of color is yer all of them, and the
color they wear must be pronounced.
Their,blacks are the blacklist of any
thing on earth, their yeIlews cannot be
too yellow, and the various shades of
red must be as bright as possible. No
one color satisfies them. They mingle
all of them, and the more that can be
crowded into a pattern the Better it
pleases them.
1t is a pleasant sight to see an aged
negress rolling along the street, bear
ing a basket or bundle. her mouth half
way open SO that the laugh that is very
close to the surface may find the outer
air with the least trouble, with good
humored twinkle in the eye and lurking
in the wrinkles about the mouth, her
short petticoats displaying two ankles
immense in size, and about her head the
inevitable ~gayly-colored handkerchief
wound in the shape Of a turban. With
out this turban the dress of no negro
woman would be complete. 1t takes
the place Of hat or bonnet, and is as
universal as the pett:coat or shoes. In
deed. it is more the thing than shoes,
for, though one may lack in the matter
of shoes. she always has the turban. 1t
is bound closely about the forehead,
Just below the hair, or rather wool.

back of the head. Under this wealth

Jolly and g%ood-humored are they that

the liking as they lived.
The streets OF New Orleans would not
