A MouNTEBANk MOVEMENT.

For cl~ap-trappery, like for everything
else, good or bad, New York City is the
nations head-center There it is that all
kinds of schemes are set aioat to sail
Sticky into all other sections of the coun
try. The greatest humbng of the kind
started there recently, is the double breas-
ted eonglomerated, s%quint eyed and pot
belIied political pot pourri for the c~onsoli-
dation of the Greenbackers, Anti-Mo-
nopolists, Socialists, Labor eformers and
the rag-tag and bob-tail of sickly sorc-heads
who, one and all, believe that they have
a certain panacea to cure the long-existing
ills which atflict our body polite, They
propose TO unite upon a common platform
which shall be as broad as it is lop-sided,
rotten and uncertain. Their standard
bearer is that delectable worm fence aero
bat, Benjamin +. Butler, of Big Bethel
and Fort Fisher fame-now the retired
statesman of Essex, Massachusetts, but
whose Unsuitable thirst for fame never can
be quenched. With him, it is anything
to win. His aspirations for the presi.
dency are being fathered by A weekly pa,
per in New York known as Father Column.
bia. 1t is decidedly weakly in tone and
weakly in appearance. Its every page,
column and line looks rs though they had
been struck by lightning and crushed
with thunder during the prevalence of a
lively cyclone. For the vice presidency,
it advocates Hon. John II. Reagan, OF
Texas. This is really a mixing of blue
spirits and grey. The whole outfit is de.
cidedly communsitic in outline, and it il
as good as Il free circus for all those de
string a gratuitous laugh. Butler has
enough bottled-up egotism to think this
rotten racket will he a stepping-stone to
edge his Shiny way into the Democratic
National Convention. That dignified
body would wouldn I honor him with the
paltry position Of door keeper to the col
ored gallery of ebony spectators; and, as
for the Republican National Convention,
it wouldn't feel inclined to let him and
his cranky cohorts bring up the rear of
their political procession as target bearers
and bucket carriers. 1t is to be hoped
that the consolidated convention of curl
Gus cranks will come out on dress-parade
with the Hero of Tewksbury at their head
and George Francis Train at their tail.
Regain is really too good a man to he i'm
molated in such a mongrel crowd. We
don't think he is training with the cramks
and the communists. His name is being
used to give responsibility and promi-
hence to the antics of an aggregation OF
buffoons whose places ought mostly to be
within walls of restraint where their wild
yells and insane grimaces would be all to
themselves.

the end of a trial for a capital offense
all the advantages are with the criminal.
and every trivial error Of form or sub
stance counts against the prosecution. If
a punctuation mark is omitted or improp-
| erly placed in the indictment, that pro-
ceeding is quashed and a delay in the
trial follows. If a Juror is intelligent
enough to know that law is law and that
crime should be punished, he is turned
out of the box at the suggestion of the
criminal through his attorney. Then the
pleas of selfdefense and emotional insan-
ity have been built up to monstrnus pro-
portions for the purpose of saving the
criminals neck. The medical profession
has been drafted to the middle and
befog the jury by long and labored sex
pert testimony on the subjcctof insanity,
and the suggestions mind of the criminal
is explored with a suggestions microscope
To find the trace of some phantom fear
that if he had not killed his victim he
would himself have been killed. When
all the doubts and distractions possible
have been dragged into the ease for the
purpose of mystifying the feeble minded
jurors, selected IN account of their natu-

that his client is a victim of persecution,

Of halter or his ghost will pursue them

More than this, often when a verdict of
murder in the first degree is pronounced
against a cold, cruel and calculating assas-
sin, the legal contest has then become
merely the preliminary skirmish line of a
greater and more important battle which
is afterwards fought with great t%cnacity
extending over much time; involving
the expenditure of much money and end
ing in the triumph of much injustice.
If the criminal be able TO command friends
and means, he can often worry out wit
nesscs and all others necessary to the
proper conduct of IL case which would
necessarily terminate in his conviction.
Consequently, he goes scot free!

tration of justice in criminal cases, the
country over, is an imperative demand of
the times, so that terror may be aroused
in the breasts of eyil-docrs who regard
law us a complex machine through whose
loop holes they can readily crawl if the
necessity of their particular case so de
mands. Out of evil, good frequently
arises. The Cincinnati riot was an evil
out of which good must ultimately arise
through awakening the masses to the alb
solute necessity of making it impcrativcly
certain that crime will be punished
and this by the presence of reputable, in
t~elligcnt and honorable jurics in our courts
of criminal correction.

high degree OF Importance was attached to
the art which solemnizedt their sacred chants

with the Aztecs. We are told by old his
turians who hal lived among them that in
their time "many of these supplemented

isting tribes OF Mexico aud Central America
it is their custom when upon II journey To

KRAo--A MISSING LINK

Mr.. Carl Book, while exploring tito wild

and captured IA strange family Ct human
monkeys, consisting of father, mother, and
daughter. The father was first caught, after

in getting his captiveS out of the country on
account of the sureTstitions OF the people.
First he was opposed by the ruler OF Laos, in
Whose province the capture was made. The
father finally died of cholera, and he was
permitted to take the child with two chiefs
before the king OF Siam, but the mother was
not allowed to go. After much parleying he
was at last required to adopt the child as his
own, aud give security for its good care, and
then allowed to take it to England, where it
was exhibited at the Royal aquarium, West
