REPUBLICANS AT o II

March was a rough month but the
public debt tumbled $14.238,324. For
nine months ending March 81 customs
revenue fell off $4,000 900 and internal
revenue $21,000,000. as compared with
last year. Expenses in the same period
have been lowered nearly $~17,000,000.
Ten years ago the monthly interest On
the public dett was more than as much
again what it is now. In the light of
insecurity, violence and blOOdshed fur
nished by the Cincinnati riot and com
munism, it is comforting to know the
government is in the hands of a party
that fearlessly deals out Justice to every
person and a%ssiduously devotes itself to
the stability, increase, honor and safety
of all her citizens, a party that Furnishes
crime and criminals and makes abss-
lutely safe the person and property of
all. The people have every reason for
trusting the Republican party.

WHAT sMALs. HE DONE.

The lamentable and disgraceful riot
Of Cincinnati signifies more than can be-
seen. The cause of the sad occurrence
is found in the radical wrong, existing
throughout the country, in the admins
tratiOn Of justice that really means, and
is, the grOssest injustice to the.commun-
ity and the greatest indulgence to crime
and criminals. That which led directly
to the riot was a verdict which excused
a %dastardly murder, although the william
had confessed the atrOciOus deed. The
object was the punishment of the MUIR
derer and the rebuke of criminal pro-
t~ectors. In this the mob was a signal
failure. What good the riot will have
done remains to be seen, as yet all seems
evil. The movement of the mob and the
authorities alike, was one cOntin-
ued course of laundering. When the
mob degenerated into communism the
same results followed as elsewhere, when
this destroying fend has had an oppor-
tunity. What happened at Cincinnati
is liable to be repeated in other cities,
unless something be effectually done to
inaugurats punishment for crime. No
criminal is punished whe has money.
A. Carpenter can seduce and murder a
girl and 60 free, because he has mOuey.
Berner can murder for money and 20
free, because q noted criminal lawyer,
for whose p%ecuniary advantage the GRIM
inal laws are framed, is secured for his
defense. There is no more peacable,
civilized or just people on earth than
those of Cincinnati, but a vile ring
there as in almost every city on this
continent rules, SO that persons and
property are unsafe, and gamblers, pros
t%itutes, robbers and murderers are abso-
lutely protected.
What is to be doRe cannot be easily or
readily answered, but the Legislature of
each state might appoint a commission
to Investigate the subject of cri Inc
criminals and punitive laws with view
to removing the burning disgrace Of our
age, tO-wit: the premium paid upon vice
and crime.
Ii every cold blooded murderer in the
country had been promptly hung, wheth-
er a tramp or a millionaire, within the
last twenty five years, not so many per-
o n had died as persisted at Cincin-
natl. Then they would have suffered
Justly, while those at Cincinnati suffered
i%nuocently.
Protect society, men, and
children, and punish tho criminal
whether he has money or not, giving in
each case a fair trial.

THE jury system as worked is d fraud
and must either go, or be greatly re-
formed. 1t exists to perpetrate injus.
tice, wrong and abuse. 1t saves the
guilty and let's the righteous suffer.

which is, do evil that good may come.
La Ohio they turned against their best
friends to let ia the Democracy who

ing else, therefore the whiskey men and
Prohibiti0nists worked for The same erd

only n idea, (for th0re are many who

which Republicans find themselves for
