A Glimpse of the Millennium.

The Republican newspapers seem to b.
pleased with Gov. Clevelands views Oh
civil service appointments. They are all
warmly in favor of civil service reform. II
is quite natural feeling. Perhaps our
Republican friends are not able to look at
the matter in wholly ulprejudiced way
but any impulse of theirs which brings
them to an approving state of mind toward
Democratic administration we are dis
posed to reward with praise. 1t may be
that in the course of the next few years
they may become SO much In love with the
Democratic policy as to join the party, and
the political millennium will have come
in when the lion and the lamb lie
down together. If the Republican beasts
are all permitted to remain undisturbed
in their warm stalls, We have no doubt
that they will be all lambs during the
Democratic presidency. But as it is only
the really good Office holders whom the
coming president is dispos I'd to retain, we
greatly fear that there will be but small
portion of them who will not come out
into the cold. In which event we do not
anticipate a very great warmth of support
from the Republican party in general to
the new administration.
If our friends in the opposition, who
hold nice offices, had only been duly and
thoroughly permeated with the true spirit
Of civil service reform, during
their incumbency of them, SO that
they would have sternly abstained from
partisanship and devoted all their energies
to discharging their duties and earning
their salaries, they would have been in a
fit condition to rejoice at their good works
ana to expect the award due to the faith
ful servant. Unfortunately few of them
if any, have been SO wise in theil
day, and the promise of the president-eleci
holds out little comfort to the main army OF
the ofliceholders. No doubt they will be
very well behaved now, but their opportu.
mites are gone for testifying to their faith
in civil service reform maxims under the
temptations and pressure of party de.
mands. There is likely to be plenty OF
work for the axe under the new admins
tration though it may be slow, under the
raised standard for getting in.

A terrier with broken leg came the other
day to the Charing Cross hospital in London
and when he was admitted held up his
broken leg and barked. 1t was set by one
of the surgeons, after which the terrier de-
parted happy.
This is probably only new version OF the
old incident which really occurred in Lam
caster in DR.. Atlee's practice. Cosgroye's dog,
whose master had been treated for a broken
arm, and who had frequently gone with the
man to the DOCTORS office, one day appeared
at the Office door with little dog whom he
had brought there to have his fractured leg
set. The operation was performed and two
happy dogs went off rejoicing.

HANGED BY MASKED VIZ.
Iynched for a Murder OF which n Jury Had
Found Him Innocent.


Pleasant Anderson was hung 10y eight
masked men on Monday night near the town
of Blakesburg, Iowa. fifteen miles west Of
Ottumwa. The causes which led TO the
lynching are rs follows: In November lsS2,
near Blakcsburg, Chris McAllister was muir
dered at his residence, 4 few months there.
after Pleasant Anderson was arrested for the
murder and finally was tried one wear ago at
oskaloosa, the trial lasting two weeks There
was strong array of circumstantial evidence
against him, but he was acquitted. The
opinion prevailed at Blakesburg that he was
guilty. Bad feeling prevailed, and last night
he was seized at the house of his tather-in-
law and taken in a sled TO school house. 4
mock trial was had before jury of eight
men and by them he was sentenced to he hung.
Nearly a hundred persons had gathered at
the school house, among whom Anderson
seemed to have no friends, and at about 1896
last night they took him to the scene of the
murder of McAllister and hung him to the
limb of cottonwood tree. He protested his
innocence to the last. The body was left
hanging for over two hours and finally taken
down by the order of magistrate, who went
TO the scene of the tragedy, and a coroner
was sent for. From the temper of the crowd
it was evident that they would brook no in
reference.

LANCASTER, DECEMBER 81. 1884.
Pouular Government in England.

Nothing could better illustrate the rapid
advance Of liberal ideas and Of popular
government in England, than the increas-
ing frequency with which the system of
representation and franchise in that coun-
try is reconstructed. 1t took many centu-
ries Of preparation by civil strife and war
ring houses for the fullness of time in that
great revolution, in which royalty was
shorn of its sovereignty and the real power
transferred to Parliament. And only after
the lapse of century and half subse-
quent to that was the Reform Bill of 1882
passed, remodeling the constituencies,
sweeping awaythe rotton boroughs, enlarg-
ing the franchise and practically comforting
the real governmental power Of England
upon the House of Commons. The next
peaceful revolution of that sort was in 1867;
and now, only seventeen years elapse until
the Parliamentary leaders are driven by
the urgent force of public opinion to put
their heads together, redistribute the seats
of Parliament and enlarge the franchise.
To nation with a less flexible system
than England's the rapidity with which its
governmentalch changesarec coming to be made
would be ominous of powerful reaction
impending or of speedy danger of
anarchy. No signs of these lower over the
political horizon there. On the contrary
Liberal and Conservative leaders have
agreed upon a measure of a very sweeping
and radical character, the adoption of
which with ease is foreshadowed in their
agreement. BY its provisions 100 seats
now held by boroughs are taken away
from them and placed elsewhere
reallottment of II more seats than were
comprehended under the great reform
measure of 1882. While London and its
boroughs heretofore have had but twenty.
: two members and no other city more than
three, London is hereafter to have fifty
five, Liverpool nine, Birmingham and
Glasgow seven each and other large cities
proportionate number. Again, whereas
the total representation of city heretofore
has been elected from a single district
although since 1867 minority representa-
ton has been provided for, hereafter cite:
are TO be divided into as many districts as
there are members, SO that each one will
be the sole representative of district con
stituency.
This radical Encouragement of consti
tuences, the adoption of the single district
system and the gradual enlargement Of
the franchise, until the voting population
of England, is nearly slarge percentage
as in some of the commonwealth of this
country, show steady progress toward the
highest idea of free government. In
deed they have made but superficial
examination of the English system, who
deny that it compares very favorably with
any government claiming to be "of the
people, by the people and for the people. y

A morning contemporary which de.

Constant Readers, 'Old Subscribers, "
and other correspondents with equally
novel names, instructs a "Young San
Franciscan" how to study politics. He
is to read the Constitution and the his
tory of the country and the daily papers.
1t is to be hoped that the ''Young San
Franciscan" will not confine his reading
of the press to the journal which gives
him the advice, or he will get a very
poor idea of politics. If he wishes to
become a successful politician he need
not bother his head reading either con.
stitution or history, as the majority OF
our politicians know nothing about
either. He would better let such things
alone if he wishes to make a political
record. Let him hang around saloons,
and study the likes and dislikes OF 'sthe
boys" Then he will be able to ignore
the constitution and scott at history as
fit for old fogies and platform statuary.

The Stockton Mail, not surprisingly,
got down SO low as to insert a wood cut
of Governor Stoneman in its columns
with the word fraud printed on the fore
head. 1t was an exhibition of vile taste
that and nothing more. In fact. people
saw only the editor Of the Mail in the
picture. An Oakland paper, comment.
ing on this piece of dirty work, says:
Gov. Stoneman has done his duty,
carefully and conscientiously. He has
faced many trials, has patiently gone
through startling perplexities. has been
misunderstood and m~altreated, ever by
some who have enjoyed his favor, but he
has passed the ordeal clearly and hon.
estly, and his admiration thus far stands
out in shining contrast to its immediate
predecessors. Il is the duty of every
Democratic paper to hold up his hands,
to generously support the great meas
ures of policy he has inaugurated; to
advise, support and strengthen him, and
when one is found employing toward him
the methods of the hummer and the
BLACKBOARD. it should be put without the
pale Of party influence and sympathy.

IL in pleasing to see That the f1eraiu !
suggestion of o Republican canvass Oh
the Southern States meets with favor
from az least two organs of that party
The Cleveland Leader demands and the
Chicago Inter.Ocean agrees that the
coming Presidential campaign should
differ from every other that has ever
taken place in this country, in the tact
thatinthis campaign Republican meetings
must be held and protectionist speeches
must be heard throughout the Southern
States. There can be no restored Union
in fact so long as n OF our two politi'
cal ~parties. and that the one which con-
trolls the Government, must remain voice
less and speechless throughout the South
ern States"
There is no compulsion in the matter.
The Republicans have only to send
prominent speakers from the North
through the Southern States. These
will be everywhere well received. The
Inter.O Ocean thinks that speakers like
Conklinp. Edmunds, Blaine. Hoar,
Frye, Hale, Gen. Hawley, Sherman, both
the Harrisons, Logan, Depew and q
score of others would be favorably well
coined" We advise leading Republi-
cans in Mississippi, South Carolina,
Louisiana, Virginia and other Southern
States to formally and publicly ask the
Republican Campaign Committee to Sc
lect and send Northern men of promi-
nence and ability into these States to
speak during the coming Summer and
Fall. 1t is true the Republican party
should cease to be o sectional party.
It has no excuse for longer retaining that
character.-New York Herald.
The Democrats of the South would
listen with respect and pleasure to some
Of the Republican orators named, such
as Conkling, Edmunds and Gen. Hawley;
and they would treat Blaine, Logan and
John Sherman c~ourteously, although
they look upon them as mere tricksters
and INSCRIPTIONS politicians. The peo-
pie Of the South, Democrats as well as
Republicans, we vouch for it, would
welcome to the stump among them any
speakers it should please the Republican
Committee TO send down there during
tbs campaign. Moreover, we will guar
antee that any Republican orators who
desire it can have the opportunity to dis
cuss the issues of the day alongside OF
Democratic speakers on the same stump.
There are plenty Of well.informed, elo-
quent stump-speakers south of Mason &
Dixon's line who would not feel at all
ill at ease in public debate with any one
of the eminent Republican gentlemen
named.
1t would do the country no harm to
send such a representation of Republi-
can brains and craftsmanship south OF
Mason & Dixon's line. Something OF
value to both sides might be learned.
But this will not be done. Our Re.
