THE New York sun says: "'The root
Of the difficulty says Governor Hoadly,
Of Ohio, in reference to the Cincinnati
riot, 'lies in the unwillingness of reput-
able citizens to respond to the calls of
public duty The disinclination Of busy
men to serve as jurors is notorious in
every large city. If those who are most
competent to do justice in the jury box
thus evade their obligations to the pub
lie in this respect, they have nobody but
themselves to blame, if guilty men are
improperly acquitted. Governor Hoadly
suggests that the law should admit no
excuses whatever from jury service, but
should compel every citizen to serve
when duly summoned. There are strong
arguments in favor Of this plan. No
State can prosper as long as any consid-
cradle body Of its citizens neglect their
public duties. Let every qualified cleo
tor attend the caucus and primary meet
ings Of his party, vote at all elections,
and duly perform his part in the admin
istration of justice by serving as a jury
man and we shall have less frequent
occasions for the political reform move
ments which have been SO common of
late years.

Congressman Toilet, of Ohio, does not
propose to submit to the violence and
fraud by which he was defeated in the
October election without an effective pro-
test. The story Of the deeds of the hordes

committed the most dastardly outrages
and even mErders in order to render
the election of a Republican TO
Congress over FOllett is known to every
intelligent newspaper reader in the coun-

are gratified TO know that the conduct OF
Marshal Wright in employing a brigade
Of deputies from the scums Of the city and
from the lowest classes of other states to
prevent the fair expression Of the will Of
the people at the ballOt-bOx, is to be made
the subject of an investigation by a CON-
mittee, which will not be disposed to sup
press the truth or deal lightly with any
wrong doing which may be proven.
The controlling of elections by govern
ment officials employed and paid for that
purpose has been of frequent occurrence
at the South, but the campaign of Mar
shall Lott Wright at Cincinnati was net
only the first attempt Of that kind at the
North. but the most extensive and I'M
blushing interference with an election
ever essayed in the country.
1t looks very much like retributive JUS
tiee that this investigation is to take
place in Ohio, near the home of John Sher-
man. who has been foremost in charging
the Southern people with violence and
fraud, and who has been so relentless and

against Marshal Wright is true, Mr..

The Telephone Decision.

The great telephone case which was
decided by Judge Wallace, of the United
States Circuit Court at New York
last Monday, has excited a great
deal Of attention throughout the
country. The amount involved in the
case is something like S100,OOO,OOO-
Judge Wauace's decision does not
settle the case. 1t will be appealed
to the United states Supreme Court.
There is not much probability, however,
that Judge Wallace's decision viii be re-
versed. The plaintiff in the case IS the
American Bell Telephone Company and
the defendant the Peoples Telephone
COMPANY. The first named company
rests its claims on the patents OF Prof.
Alexander Graham Bell, and the sec
ord named company on the claims oil
Daniel Drawbaugh, Of Midtown, Pa.
Two years ago the Bell company obtained
a temporary injunction against the Peo-
pies company, enjOining it from using us
TELEPHONE on the ground that its telephone
was covered BY Bells patents. The
defense was that Drawbaugh had
invented the electric speaking
telephone before Bell obtained his pat
ents. This was the issue which was tried
before Judge Wallace, AID which Oecu-
pied several months. As already stated,
the decision was in favor Of the Bell COM
pany. The injunction was made perma-
nent In the opinion of Judge Wallace
Drawbaugh failed to make it appear that
he was endowed with mental capacity
sufficient to invent telephone. HIS eX-
cuse for not taking out patent, VIZ, that
he was too poor, was not sustained by the
testimony.
1t is less than ten years since Bell TOOK
out his patents. For long time he could
not get sufficient money to put his tele-
phone in practical operation. Even after
he got it in operation telephone stock
could be bought for almost nothing. In
very little while, however, when ths
public began to realize what the tele-
phone promised to become the stock
qnickIy rose to an almost fabulous price.

The keeping Of hot coffee at all public
houses, or rather saloons, has been re-
commended in England. 1t would be a
good practice everywhere, and would
doubtless not only tend to diminish the
consumption of Intoxicating liquors, and
consequently drunkenness, but would
largely increase the profits Of the saloon
keepers by bringing them new and ex-
cellent class Of customers. There is
probably more clear money in a cup Of
tea or coffee at cents than in a glass Of
beer at the same price.

Not Gin-Taker.

Gov. Cleveland does not intend to
acquire the reputation Of a gift-taker.
Gifts of various kinds have already been
sent to him from different parts OF tne
country, all of which, when they were OF
any considerable value, he has caused 70
be returned. A day or TIVE ago, in re-
turning a gift-sent by a gentleman OF
BrooklERs 1SS%Y.. he took occasion 10 say
that he did not want to show anectatlon
or churIishness, but that, occupying the
position that he did, he could not afford
to be the recipient of gifts.
GOV. Cleveland shows good sense in
putting an end to this gift business before
it has reached the proportions OF null
sance. People who send gifts to him ex-
pect something in return. They may say
that they do not, but nobody will believe
them. They may not expect much, but
they certainly expect as much, If not
more. than the value of their gifts.
Some want only an acknowledgment
in writing which they can show to their
friends and acquaintance. Others eX-
pect. later on, TO ask for more substantial
favors. These swift givers Of gifts are
pretty certain to become enemies If their
clans in connection with their gifts do
not happen to turn out satisfactorily. Gov.
Cleveland evidently does not intend to
allow himself to be bothered by the class
of people who want to furnish him with
slippers. tobacco pouches and dogs.
If Grant had not been a gift taker he
would occupy a much higher place in the
estimation of the people than he does.
His gift-taking propensities clung to MIN
throughout his career and cling to him
vet for all the public knows. He certain
" shows very little ability to take care OF
/ himself. Notwithstanding all that has
been given him he is now reported to be a
I comparatively poor man. The nation is
l expected to take care Of him, and it is al
ready evident that a strong effort is to be
/ made this winter to secure pension for
/ him. If he lad not been such gift-taker il
! is probable that he would be much more
/ independent than he is and not now be an
/ applicant for pension.

Grants cause. considering his extrava-
CANT habits and foolish speculatiOns by
which he has squandered the gifts that
have been bestowed upon him, is not by
any means a worthy one. The President
was kind-hearted enough to mention the
matter TO Congress, but he does not seem
disposed to go into the lobby to urge the
passage OF the measure. Perhaps some

ident a thousand or two dollars per month
for what is left Of his name and infu-
ence.
