EDITORIAL NOTES.
Dorsey is to be called before the
Springer investigating committee the
Goth inst. Dorsey is on the war path
and somebody will get hurt when he
fires himself off.
The City Democracy is wheeling
Into line for the approaching NUM-
cipal contest. With good men on
the ticket the Democrats can carry
every ward in the city.
Should Grant receive the nomina-
ton for the Presidency, Lincoln
would be knocked out for the Vice
Presidency. Although residing in
New York Grant 10 still regarded as
y western man.
General Grant has been in Wash
ington engaged in q h~and-shaking
carnival. Because he wishes to be
sociable with old friends many pro-
TESS to see in it desire on his part to
obtain the Republican nomination
for the Presidency.
The number of killed in the Gin
cinnati riot now reaches fifty-one
The number of wounded will never
be known, but will probably exceed
200. The casualties reached the pro.
portions OF a pitched battle between
large armies.
All nonresident Hebrews who
have no special permission to remain
in the city have been ordered to
leave st. Petersburg. And yet the |
Russian Government has its friends
and admirers in this free Republic.
Nihilism in its most pronounced
form seems to be about the only
thing that is really adapted to such a
despotism.
Senator Miller, Of California, has
written to the National Republican
Committee absolutely declining to
become a candidate for the Presi-
dency before the Chicago Conven-
ton. Somebody should have sug-
gested to the Senator the propriety
of Withholding that letter until he
was asked to become q candidate. It
is not probable the Republican party
will hunt candidates for the Presi-
dency On'the Pacific Coast.
That Virginians are inclined to be
y little sarcastic over the Cincinnati
trouble Is evidenced by the following
telegram sent from Richmond to
Senator John Sherman during the
riot ut Is suggested here that the
Richmond Blues and the detachment
of howitzers who quelled the Dan> ,
Vile riot, aid in suppressing the riot
in your State. Upon the proper ap- =,
plication Governor Cameron might ,
order them out" The suggestion ,
though pertinent, vas doubtless re- ;
garded by Mr.. Sherman as extreme A..
ly impertinent. :
Baker Pasha, who was dismissed
from the British army for uncalled
for gallantry to a clergyman's daugh- =
ter in an English railway carriage, q
wishes very much to he reinstated. 4
He was q personal friend of the =
of Wales and was what Is =
called a good fellow. Over two hun =
dred ladies have written letters plead 4
Ing for his restoration. Many others q;
have entered an ardent protest. While ,,
Victoria holds the reins of power g,
there Is little prospect of his being re- =.
stored to rank and position. q,
The action of the Cincinnati d
Trades Assembly in passing a vote b,
thanks to members of a regiment ef
n that city and commencing the b.
of members of the Fourth .,
ohio National Guards for refusing to or
AXE part against the mob is ex. in
remedy significant. If it does not W
Indicate the home of the leading ia
'pirits of the mob it certainly shows flu
where powerful sympathizers are til
ound. There must be something 40
'adically wrong in the laws OF that liz
State, or in the administration of ST
ustice under them, to induce a body by
f men as respectable in numbers "a
nd character as is the Trades AS or
emily of Cincinnati to put itself on
he record as mob supporters.
World: Secretary Lincoln may 10
q congratulated on the prospect of de
walk-over for the second place in IN
he Republican Presidential handi- VI
ap. While Arthur, Lincoln, Logan, TO-
herman and Edmunds are strug- Ill
ling to lead as favorites for the first Ia
lace, and while q crowd OF clark IN
orses" are hoping that lightning la(
lay illuminate them ard bring 10
hem into prominent positions on de
he track, Lincoln goes steadily
at a jog-trot on the strength Of
is sire, with the apparent certainty ties
+ winning second money. Secre- Sh
Try LincOln's whole career has been do
uiet and respectable. He has wa
ever made fast time. His race is
eng made on a quiet and respect

ltion without showing any great for
