some great principle of government, but
both owe their prominence to political
manipulation, the distribution of the
Federal patronage. the influence of
money and the luck and pluck of fortu-
nate as well as desperate office-seeking.
Arthur is now engaged in a canvass
for the nomination at Chicago that in
wolves the patronage of the Government
which is to be used to influence the cleo
ton of delegates and to that end espe-
cially to demoralize the Half-breed ele-
ment which is not yet reconciled to the
beneficiary of the assassination Of Gar
field. Logan is also scheming for the
nomination and regarding Arthur as his
most formidable competitor is making
an effort to attach to his cause the enc
mics of the Administration. 1t is be-
lieved at Washington that he has en-
tered into an arrangement with Dorsey
of Star-route fame by which the latter
is to take charge of his boom in certain
States and Territories. John Sherman
has hoisted the banner of the bloody
shirt and is ostensiply making his battle
for the nomination under that filthy en-
sign, but he really depends on the hold
his financial intrigues while Secretary
of the Treasury gave him on certain I'M
scrupulous people in Wall street. Thus
it is demonstrated that the Republican
nomination is to be won by intrigue and
corruption and that the candidate will
almost certainly be one whose record
and character are in keeping with the
moribund and putrescent condition of
the party.-HaTris6urg (P0.J Patriot.

In ArticulO Merits.

The approaching National Conven-
ton of the Republican party promises to
be distinguished by low intrigues and
tricky combinations such as would be a
disgrace to an ordinary ward caucus.
Nothing better is to be pected, how
ever, from party which is now held
together merely by the desire of its
members to continue in the enjoyment
of the spoils OF office. When political
organization has outlived the purpose
for which it came into existence and
finds no further occasion for the asser-
ton of its principles, it naturally falls
into the decay which for sometime has
been visibly the condition of the Repub-
lican party. An inevitable consequence
of this State of political putrefaction is
the evolution of candidates for office
devoid alike of principle and fitness.
They are as natural to that condition of
. party as maggots to rotten carcass.
Arthur, Logan and Sherman, the three
prominent Republican candidates for the
are the normal products of
the present putrescent aud fy-blown
condinon of the Republican organiza-
s1on. They are all mere spoilsmen.
Neither of them ever attained public
position because either represented

The Virginia Riots.

There have been many useless ex-
penditures of public funds by the
United States Senate at various times
in the Investigation of alleged outrages,
but the Danville investigation now go
ing on at the Capitol caps the climax
in this line of folly.
That there was no just ground for in
reference by Congress, or by either
House of Congress, in a local disturb
ance occurring in peaceful, law-abid-
ing State was evident from the facts
that transpired at the time of the homi-
cides at Danville.
When Mr.. Sherman permitted him.
self to be used as sponsor for Malone
and his following he must have known
that there was no real justification for
the allegations on which he based his
resolution-must have known it as well
as he now knows that the Senate con-
dennis his financ;ering by a vote of 7
to A.
There was riot at Danyille, as
everybody knows, and men were killed.
The cause of the sad tragedy was
political excitement, for which those
Senator'S who bargained with Malone
in 1881, and the Administration which
has since supported Malone, are main
~ responsible.
For the course of Malone in Virginia,
after his trade in the Senate and his
adoption by the Administration, was
just such course as was almost sure to
bring on bloody collisions.
A calm survey of the history of Vir-
ginia politics since 1880 excites surprise
that riots have not happened in many
places. Given the same conditions in
Ohio or in Massachusetts, and blood
would be just as likely to be shed in
either of those States as it was in Vir-
ginia.
The testimony that has been present
ed before Senate committee during
the past week has thrown no new light
on the subject. There is not particle
of evidence going to show conspiracy
or ANYTHING else than sudden outbreak
of passion such as has happened in
many States both North and South.
The conclusion that this investigation
will Justify is that the General Govern
ment has no more call to NEEDLE with
the Danville riot than it has with any
of the murders and lynchings that hap
pen in Ohio. Minnesota, Iowa and Kan
sas, as well as in other States. Wash

Won't Suit the .sGrand Old Party.

No doubt considerable interest will
attach at this time to Mr.. MacVcagh's
attempt IN the Century to sketch the
ideal President-ths President who
shall be nominated and elected this
year, but who probably will not be.
The article does not amount to much SO
far as original suggestions are con-
cerned. He simply outlines the duties
of the Presidential Office and the Cabi-
net positions, and the ideal President is
one who will discharge those duties to
the letter and select Cabinet that will
look after everything within its province
Nth fidelity and efficiency equal to his
own. Ti-a-e is hardly a political job
Der in the. esuntry who would not claim
that he was working to bring about the
election of just such man, though he
might have occasion to vince more
than once were he to follow the line of
discussion which Mr. MacVeagh
adopts to lead up to his conclu-
sions. The paper is chiefly valuable as
an analysis of the condition of politics
and parties at the present time and
kind of ethical review of the transitions
in political methods since the war. Here
he places himself on strictly independ-
ent ground and cuts both ways, but in
asmuch as the Republican party is, and
for long time has been in power, thus
furnishing the more aggravated in
stances of corruption and deviation
from constitutional standards, that or
ganization quite naturally gets the
worst of it. His contempt for the pres
ent Administration from top to bottom
and indeed, for almost every National
Administration from the ASSASSINATION
of Lincoln to the present-except per-
haps that of which he was a factor-is
but thinly yelled and his specifications
of the qualifications and motives that
the President and his advisers SHOULD
possess are SO framed as to emphasize
the conspicuous lack of them
at present. We hardly think
Mr.. MacVeagh's review of the
situation Or his high standard for the
ideal President will endear him espe-
cially to the party with which he has
eral Woodford at fremont Temple, Mr..
MacVeagh has struck vein of ener-
getic frankness, and we are glad that
he was able to evolve so much truth
with it, for the edication of the public,
if not of his Immediate party associates.
On his briefest summing up, the ideal
President must conform to these re-
Governments: I'm the present state of
affairs at Washington, he must not only
be an honest man, but he must be a cause
of honesty in others. He must really
hate every form of thievery, and must be
able to dedicate himself to the solemn
work of reforming not only the admin
istrative service of the National Govern
ment, but the very atmosphere itself of
the National capital. Four years of
administration of the National Govern
ment by such man would transform
the public life of America. '-Boston

THE BOY WHO WOULD NOT GO

You may think him q Ounce,
But he begged that for once
He might sit up all night, or as long as he
pleased.
The nurse was in tears,
With her murmured MY DearsP
But only the louder and faster he teased.

His father came in.
" Wish to sit mp all night, John?" he wrath
fully cried.

Nurse can ng 80. I'D ! Will stay at this naughty
When two hours had passed,
John grew sleepy at last
And so tired that he feared he would fall from
his chair:
But, attempting to go,
Heard his fathers stern sNo!
Keep your seat at the table. Your place. sir,
Oh! how slow licked the clock.
With its dickory dock
iFor his father insists that the boy keep

Till quite humbly he said:
May please go to bed?
I've found YOU were right, and made mis-
His father said yes;
And now you can guess
Ii ever that boy did the same thing again.
NO sermon could preach,
No punishment teach,
A lesson more clearly than he learned it then.
Now, boys. when you're told
That it's bedtime don't scold.
And say that you feel just like keeping awake.
Sitting up all the night
Isn't such delight.

the foot Of Flat Top Mountain. 1t is the
western terminus of the new river branch
OF the Norfolk & Western Railroad. The
town Is new one of frontier character,
and it has an ordinary population of two
thousand.
THE EFFECT.
What effect the disaster will have on
the operations of the mines can only be
conjectufed until the full extent of the
damage is known. The mines have not
long been opened here, but the company
had gotten well under way and were sup
plying large section of the country with
coal. The prospect was most encouragg-
ing. A large coaling station for the sup
ply of ocean steamers was in the course
OF construction at Norfolk. While the
accident will have the effect of retarding
work at the mines, it is not believed it
will cause permanent discontinuance, as
great deal of money has been expended
there by Northern capitalists, composing
the Southwest improvement Company.
The mine In which the accident oc-
CURED Is known as the Flat Top mine,
and is situated in the northeast portion
OF Tazeweu county, at the base of Flat
Top mountain, which divide that Sec
ton of Virginia from West Virginia.
The company working the mine was
provement Company, but the mines were
really under control of the Norfolk &
Western Railroad Company who have a
branch road of the New River division
running from New River to Pocahontas,
about sixty miles. John c.. Ilsey, of
Pennsylvania, is President of the Improve
ment Company, and VIM. A. Lathrop,
Superintendent.
WAITING.
POCAHONTAS, Va, March IA, A. M
Nothing in the way of rescuing the VIC
tins or searching for the dead is being
done at this hour, and nothing can be
done now. The entire mine is evidently
burning, and old miners say the bodies
will probably all be consumed.
CoFFINs.
A force of thirty carpenters have CON-
menced to make collins for the dead.
They are working in plateau to the
east of the drift and are surrounded by
torches. As the rude collins are COM
pleted they are distributed to the forty
families who have found
or think they have found some portion Of
the corpse of one of their relatives. There
have been several disputes about the
bodies as owing to their mangled con-
dition identification is exceedingly dill
cult.
THE CAUSE.
Nothing has been done in the way OF
ascertaining the cause of the disaster,
but it is surmised that one of the miners
at work struck gas assure, and that the
escaping gas ignited from his lamp.
NUMBER OF VICTIMS.
The company employ some $50 to 400
men, but the best estimate is that there
We're in the mine 15S miners, besides
number of the camp or town officers
and bosses, bringing the number of VIC
TINS up to nearly 160 persons. No hope
is entertained by anybody of rescuing
any of the poor fellows.
