MISLED.

Albany Evening Journal: From the
Topeka Capital, for years the organ of
prohibition sentiment in Kansas, il
appears that the treachery OF st. john
is fully realized in his own home and
that il was known before the election.
Had this man really desired to adj
vance the Temperance cause he would
have spoken in as many states as pos
sible. so that Prohibition might every
where acquire at least foothold. ST.
John devoted all his energies to in
creasing his vote in New York state
with the express object in view of de-
featiug the Republican party, and
nowhere j. this better known than in
his own state. 1t is the habit of the
Prohibiiionists 10 compare their
movement with the old abolition cause.
Those of III who remember Birney
and 1874 know how sincere he was
AMI know that he did not, like ST.
John, make this state the central point
of his canvass with the defeat of Clay
as its object. For the great mass of
Prohibition voters we have the respect
that devotion To principle always in
spires: but they have been misguided
BY INSCRIPTIONS leaders who had no
worthier object than the qualification
of personal revenge or personal gain.

The danger of incidental harm to
the community, or TO certain classes
of people, from the increased use oil
machinery, the extension of public
works, etc., is greatly diminished
when those who make the laws, and
especially those whose duty il is TO
interpret hem, recognize that law is
progressive science; that it is means,
not an end: that when state OF
things arises for which there is no
precedent, new precedent must be
made. How the most enlightened
jurists hold this principle constantly
in view, and how the common rs well
as the statute law is thus made to
keep pace with the general advance OF
civilization, is admirably set forth in
the leading article in the North Amer
lean Review for December. Labor
and capital before the law" by Judge
NJ. T. Cooley. of Michigan. To the
lame number William X. Alderman
contributes some suggestive Notes
on railway management" DIR. Schlie-
mann tells what he found in his cXca-
vations of the ruins OF IirynS, IN
southern Greece, and Principal Sharp
supplements his scholarly article on
"Friendship in ancient poetry" with
one on Friendship in English poet
ry.'' The other articles in the NUM-

THE VOTE.

Grover Cleveland was beaten in his
own ward. II he had been running
for alderman hc would have been re-
jected by his nearest neighbour.
Grover Cleveland WAS beaten in his
own city. If he had been running this
year for mayor of Buffalo. the votes
of his fellow citizens would hsve de-
clared him unworthy to fill that office
Grover Cleveland was defeated in
his own county. If he had been run
ming again for sheriff of Erie. the peo-
pie Of that county would have ex-
pressed their preference for some 9TH
er hangman.
Grover Cleveland was defeated in
his own congressional district.
Grover Cleveland narrowly escaped
defeat in his own state. The people
of New York have had an opportunity
to study him. He has only minority
of the votes of New York; he lacks
many thousands of majoritv.-New
York Sun (Dcmocratic).

ward by the largest majority it ever

A. A. Hopkins, leading prohibi-
ZIONIST of the interior, writes a letter
to the Rochester Democrat, in which
he asserts tina. the prohibitionists
"started out to beat both the old par

conspicuous mOdesty, they started out
10 beat; but what they actually did
beat-and that, too, within an inch of

How will they vote il we get resub-

THE ROWDY WEST.

Having finished counting, lets ge
down TO business. Let every Rcpnb
lican put his shoulder to the wheel and
make things hum. The Democratic
party. by the grace of the mugwumps
is in the saddle; but this great country
belongs to its fifty-two million people
and every honor should be guarded
and every material interest protected
and sustained by its loyal subjects
The great party which has been in
power for twenty-four years and
made the nation what it is to-day will
not sit down in the sulks and saw it is
another Bull Run and we are ruined,
aud they try to make the prophesy
good.
We got licked, we acknowledge it,
and are awfully sorry. But, gentle
men, understand it is only a temporary
affair. The Republican party will do
nothing to prevent you from doing the
best yen can. We have very poor
opinion of Democratic wisdom and
craftsmanship, and rs consequence
we shall from time TO time give you
good advice. and besides remind you
that we feel mighty thankful that the
United States senate stands like a
granite wall between the Democratic
party and unwise legislation. In pass
ing, also, the "rowdy west" gives its
compliments 10 New York. and will
say that inside of three presidential
terms the empirVtate will be way

selling tickets TO the new empire of
the Mississippi valley. New York has
gone against the west and western in

They were received late at night and
the train started without delay. Particulars
Of the condition Of affairs at Dawson are

wires there having proved futile 1t is feared
that the negroes have seized the office and
driven the operator from his post
The cause of the uprising, however, is in

named Clarke Several weeks ago, while
the wife of one of the most prominent white
gentlemen in the county was sitting in
her house, Clarke suddenly sprang upon
her, reduced her to Inconsistencies
by beating and choking her, outraged her
person and fled Pursuing parties were or
ganlzed, and Clarke was run to cover The
county officials took him i'll charge, special
term of court was called, and Clarke was
convicted, and his execution set for Mon.
day At the time of Clarkes capture then
groes threatened to burn the town and
massacre its inhabitants if they
dared lynch the prisoner. As the day OF
execution approached they have become
more and more inflamed until their excite
ment eliminated in an uprising.

IL looking for conspicuous examples
of debt-bOund communities outside
England, one naturally turns first of all
to France. Two influences have COM
bined to render the creation of public
debts in that country more rapid and
dangerous than anywhere else at the
present time. In the early years of the
present century England was the one
European Nation that appeared to
flourish on debts, and twenty years ago
we had to turn to the United States of
North America for the most remarkable
example of what Nation could endure
in the shape of public burdens and live.
But both England and the American
Union loaded themselves with obliga-
tions that were almost exclusively the
outcome of wars Until recently that
also was, though not to so marked an
extent, the position of France; but the
consequences of her last war have
forced her into striking contrast to
both these great debt-imposing Nations.
France, in other words, has been COM
PEELED by the crushing weight of her
mere war debts to go on creating
further public obligations in order to
avoid collapse, whereas England and
the United States have been redeeming
their war debts; the one slowly, the
other with great rapidity. And were
there no other influence at work in
them tending to bondage, these Ma
tions might look forward to day when
they would stand released from all
such misery-breeding fetters. In
France, however, the situation has be-
come so strained that we can only COM
pare her National finances to those of a
country like Brazil, where bankruptcy
of the most disintegrating kind can be
STAYED off by borrowing alone. In
stead of being in first rate position
economically, France is, in consequences
of the necessity which has been laid
upon her to persevere in debt-creating,
under one pretense or another, in a
third-rate position. Her present debt
breeds more debt,-Fortntghtly ReUiea0.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug GA letter has
been received h.,re, telling of the visit of
prominent, state official of New York to the
president when the latter was in the noun
tains, in the..nterest of New York candidate
for the office of chief Of the bureau of sta
tistics. The president heard the plea in favor
of the New York man, and replied by saying
that he had not fully decided in his own
mind not to issue the commission to John
Jarrett, of Pittsburg, and would not decide
until his return to the capital If he should
conclude finally to revoke the appointment of
Jarrett he had another man in view who
would get the place, 1t is inferred from this
that probably his escape from his executive
labors in the invigorating air OF the Catskllls
has led the president to condone the offense
of Jarrett. 1t is surmised that the man the
president has in view is Statistican Hill, of
the treasury department, though some say he
is Tom Connery, of the New York Truth
