THE city has been treated to the spectacle
of the use of pot-hOuse language in the Board
Of School Commissioners and last night in
the City Council, Mr. Bowling INDUCED in a
burst of profanity and vulgarity which should
have cost him his seat Immediately. This
sort of decentralization in public assemblies
cannot be regarded with complacence. If such
disgraceful episodes are passed over with
out signal rebuke, the result will be felt in
the future in the lowering of the
public tone and the consequent decadence of
public morality. Unless Mr.. Bowling is man

THE CINCINNATI RIOTS.
Report of the Special Grand Jury-Lawyer
Campbell Indicted for Bribery.

CINCINNATI, May 12.-The special grand jury
appointed to consider crimes in connection with
the riot and burning of the courthouse made
a report to-day to Judge Avery. The report
treats at length of the causes leading to the riot
and speaks of the common report that jurors
were bribed, of the general complaints that the
courts permitted too many delays and that good
citizens avoided jury duty to the detriment of a
fair administration of justice. 1t also pointed
out defects in the criminal code. The report
commends highly the conduct of the Fourteenth
regiment at the time of the riot and praises the
bravery of Captain Desmond, who
lost his life in the courthouse.
Fifty-four indictments were returned
covering twelve different grades of crime, but
nothing further will be divulged concerning
these until arrests are made. Judge Avery, in
receiving the report, made a brief defense of the
courts, and remarked that the public would
judge whether the jury had done its work well
or not
1t has been made known that one of the in
dctments found by the special grand jury was
against Z. c. Campbell, the attorney who de-
Tended VIM. Berner, the murderer of Kirk, for
bribery. Campbell upon hearing of the indict-
ment went to the court, waived legal notice of the
indictment, pleaded rot guilty, and gave bonds
in the sum 81 900 for his appearance at this term
of court
Campbell has given a statement to the press
to the effect that the prosecuting witness in his
case is Michael Gaeb whom he once defended
for murder. He says Gaeb had bad feeling
against him, growing out of the settlement of
fees in that case, and says further that Gaeb
was never called on in the Berner case, the
venue having been set aside before his name
was reached.
Beside the Indictment against Campbell, an
other has been made Dubc-tlat of Stephen
Minchell, deputy sheriff, who is charged with
playing game of cards with the jurors during
the progress of the Berner trial for money
Minchells bail was fixed at $500.

THE New York Times, speaking of the
Grant & Ward failure, and the apparent ras-
calites of Ward, says: "Such a person is
simply public robber and his case calls for
nothing short of an administration of justice
which shall be at once exemplary and puni-
tive There is ample room for sympathy
when we come to consider his victims, the
most unfortunate and pitiable of whom. as
the case now seems to stand, have been his
own nominal associates in business"

THE Louisville Courier Journal proposes to
have harmony" at any price in the Demo
cratic party. 1t says:
''The Democrats must conquer a peace. We
must have harmony, if we have to fight for
it.
''The way to harmony is straight ahead. To
attempt to retreat now is to throw the whole
body into confusion and to invite panic.
"The party must push right on to Chicago.
1t takes little more courage and involves
more important consequences to bolt ma
tional convention than to bolt congressional
caucus"
And in another article upon the same subject
the editor remarks:
''There is no doubt that the national Demo
cratcsconvention will declare plainly and en-
phatically for revenue tariff Protectionists
there will not have the Republicans with
whom to conspire and combine to defeat the
will of the party Democratic votes
have elected to Congress few men who refuse
to stand on the platform. These men should
be remembered, and the fight should be made
against them in the coming congressional cam
paign. None but true Democrats should be
put on duty at this crisis. Let the
war be to the knife. Let the black flag be run
up, and the cry be no quarter That is the
VHly way " HSH' PA"Vos e'uH OAol00i@' Ill

No one can but admire the boldness of Ed
itor Watterson. 1t is not everybody who has
the courage of his convictions or that sublime
self confidence which leads him to know him

Mr.. Watterson go on with his fight for char
mony." 1t was Tacitus who said, "Let us
wake solitude and cal. it peace"

living apart from his wife, aged forty five, Wis
tied her at her lodgings, on East West street

JUSTICE has been signally insulted and out
ragged at Redwood City, Cal A young man
was brought into court on charge of having
assaulted young girl, when the father of
the girl opened fire on the prisoner, shooting
him three times, each ball taking effect and
resulting in his death 1t is said that the
charge is wholly unfounded, and that the &C
cused was innocent of crime. 1t will doubt
less be argued that the father was justified in
his assault on account of the "frenzy' he
must have felt. But it will be grave
mistake if some adequate punishment is not
melted out to the murderer guilty likewise
of an objectionable insult to the court
There is a spirit of vengeance abroad in the
land that threatens law and order, and it ex-
lists under the garb of summary and irregular
justice, and is apologized for that it does not
often make mistake. The individual gets
his right to murder for justice from the ex-
ample set by lynching mobs, whose outrageous
doings are only too often silently indorsed by
many who have no thought of giving counte-
nance to crime fit is right for committee,
crowd or mob of reputable" citizens to
execute vengeance against an offender
in the name of justice, it is equally
right for any man to undertake
such deeds of violence What then becomes
of law, driven from its province and paralyzed
in its functionsP Each man becomes iudpe
and executioner for himself and the desperate
and bloody minded come at once to trample
over the peaceable and law-abiding. Inshort,
society is at an end and barbarism supervenes.
Modern civilization cannot afford to tolerate
these things, but they are likely to continue
and increase unless statute law and legalized
courts and officers do what they are ordained
for in the repression ACCOMPLISHMENT of crime.

OH account of his supposed liberal sentiments

comes to the fore with startling fact calculated
to ruin the plumed knights chances She has
read, or claims to have read, the first volume of
Twenty Years in Congress-" and from cover to
cover has found but one allusion to woman, and
that an indirect and passing reference to the
wife of certain distinguished man. 1t is no
argument to this aggrieved and irate lady that
there have been no female congressman in the
past twenty years; she is of the opinion that
women have had much to do with Congress and
its business and that they have figured so
prominently as political and social factors that
to ignore their existence in what purports to be
a history of the country is an insult and proof of
a narrow mind on the part of the writer To
repair this oversight Mr.. Blaine can only de-

is not in Congress but wants to be- but even this
