POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.

CINCINNATI Enquirer About time for some
one to go down to New York and feel Mr. Til
den's limbs for blemishes, and put him through
a mental test Mr.. Tilden has not been examined
for nearly a week.
EX-MAYoR EDWARD COOPER, of New York, is
the latest entry from the Empire State as a
dark horse for the Democratic nomination for
president. He is understood to be in the hands
Of Mr.. Hewitt as groom.
GOVERNOR BEGoLE. of Michigan, announces
himself as strongly in favor of the nomination of
General Butler for the presidency by the Demo
cratic party. This is the first gun for Butler,
but it is not believed to be loaded.
WASHINGTON special to Cincinnati Enquirer:
payne and Randall" Randall and Voorhees,, ="
payne and Dorsheimer," Payne and Slocum, :"
payne and Flower" and "Tilden and Hen
bricks" are variously named the winning
ticket by levelheaded observers here.
A WASHINGTON special says: ''The drive-well
fraud alone knockssJoe Mcdonald out of the list
of presidential candidates." said an Indiana
Democrat to-day. "The drive-well frauds trav-
eled all over Indiana swindling the farmers, and
every farmer who used the drive well was drag
ged to indianapolis and prosecuted by McDon-
aids law firm"
New YORK special A banker, who has lik-
ing for politics, has been canvassing in Wall
street for sentiment toward General Grant as a
presidential candidate. He reports that there
is a general impression that Grant would like
the nomination, and has hopes that it may come
to him by way of a compromise. He is assured
that bankers and business men here would give
him as warm support as in 1868 or 1872.
THE Washington Bee, paper published in the
interests of the colored people, says of Senator
Edmunds: 1--WE take the opportunity of
saying it will be suicide to the Repub-
lican party to nominate him. No man
has opposed the interests of the
colored man more than Senator Edmunds
When Ex-Governor Pinchback was duly elected
a senator from Louisiana, he found a true de-
fender and friend in Senator Logan, and was
bitterly opposed by the senator from Vermont.
The negroes will not support him if nominated" "
THE Daily Herald of Middletown, Conn.
publishes number of letters from leading Re-
publicans all over the State giving the senti-
ment of the different localities in regard to the
choice of presidential candidate From their
testimony it looks as though Connecticut for
the first time in many years, would send dele
cation to the national convention that would be
united upon one man. Their candidate will be
General Jos, r. Hawley. The second choice of
the party seems to be about evenly divided
between President Arthur and Senator
Edmunds

last two years of his life lost nearly $3.50 600 in
Wall street specuatons but did not leave the estate
or the business embarrassed. One of his largest
single operations in the street the purchase
of Oregon Transcontnental stock to the amount of
$26SO00. This did not turn out well.
Mr. BEEcHER preached on Sunday from the text:
Take, therefore thought for the morrow That
he thought, did not that man should not show
foresight, but that he should not fret and worry
''Fretting and worry said Mr. Beecher, don't pro-
mote prosperity. They actually hinder it. suppose
that the whole of onehalf of the suffering of human
ity is for things that happened"
Hon. BOB TooMBs of Georgia in his palmy
days on the stump, rarely permitted any speaker to
have the concluding speech. Perhaps the only time
he gave this privilege was when he had discus
sion with Hon. James Gardner editor of the Augusta
Chronicle. Before Toombs made the agreement for
Gardner to conclude he esped organ grinder and
his monkey near by He bargained with him to COM
mence playing as as he CToombs) got through.
Gardner arose to reply and the grinder began.
The crowd commenced to gather around him. The
monkey got away and up tree. The Italian put
down his organ and tried to shake the monkey out.
The monkey would grab the tree and shake it, too.
This scene completely attracted the audience and pro-
voked the utmost hilarity Gardner left the platform
in disgust at being eclipsed by monkey.
In the early and flush period of the great carbonate
camp at Leadville, when fortunes were made in day
almost, Jealous Christian in search of subscriptions
to build house of worship, dropped into Pop Wy
mans club-room evening and there found large
number of the newly -created bonanza kings enjoying
themselves in the usual way. Thinking the opportu
nifty favorable for his purpose, he made appeal to
Charley B., acquaintance of his whom he in
duced to call an impromptu meeting and lay the mat
ter before it, Charley made such eloquent speech
that it resulted in raising all the money asked for in
less than fifteen minutes. This success warmed up
Charley and he moved that further subscription be
taken up and presented to the church for the purchase
of fine, large chandelier This motion was strenu-
lousy opposed by Dutch Gus who said II drinks dot

And then on this:

THE tunnel tragedy in New York city,
wherein several people were killed and num-
Der mangled, may now be relegated to the list
of remarkable events-remarkable in that hui
man beings were slaughtered through incom-
petent and insufficient care on the part of
railway employees, and yetno one held respon-
sible. The boy telegrapher, held for falling
to stop one of the trains has been discharged
as not guilty. Somebody undoubtedly was
guilty of criminal neglect; but it is ridiculous
to raise row about an event eighteen months
past, so it may as well be dropped. Human
life is the cheapest article in the market.

IT is anomalous that the tariff tinkerers
apologize for their horizontal reduction bill
by pleading that it is such little thing it
can do no harm to the commercial interests
of the country, admitting thereby that the
great measure of business prosperity that we
now enjoy does rest on the fact that we have
a tariff. 1t is fatal to the Democratic idea,
which is to go as fast as possible toward free
trade, to admit that the tariff and trade are so
intimately connected and that any serious
interference with the former can but have an
unfavorable, not to say disastrous, effect upon
the latter

lersbmg, Pa, when peddler was robbed by
highwaymen of 1900 and gold watch. The
next day three boys, aged sixteen, fifteen and
fourteen, were arrested with the money and
watch in their possession, and confessed the
crime. Upon them were found four gold
mounted revolvers, number of actresses
photographs. and several dime novels. They
said that Emholtz, the eldest of the three, had
instigated the crime, and that he intended to
take them to Idaho if his plan proved success
full. Emholtz is believed to be the party who
has committed several mysterious robberies
lately. There is argument enough in these
dangerous symptoms of desperate crime on
the part of the youth of the land to call for
the prompt suppression of all that kind of
cheap literature which serves as a constant in
centive to lawlessness. The writers and pub
fishers of such trash ought to be sent to prison
for life

IT is to be hoped that the newly discovered
manuscript entitled the ''Didache Ton Dodeka
Apostolon7 Teachings of the Twelve Apostles
will soon come into general circulation. If it is
correctly translated, it will do "a power of good"
at very opportune time The work, entirely in
Greek, was published in Constantinople by Phi
lotheos Bryennios the metropolitan bishop of
Nicomedia, who discovered the manuscript in a
library in Constantinople. The American edi
ton has been pushed with great diligence, and
the complete TRANSACTIONS, introductions and
notes are in the hands of the printer. The intro
duction will occupy about two pages, the text and
translation about thirty, and the notes ten. In
speaking of 1t DR., Hitchcock says
'It is one of the most important finds of the
day am satisfied of its authenticity beyond
all question. 1t was written between A. d. 12O

1t has an important bearing on the question of
BAPTISM also on the questions of the polity of
the early church. Many scholars knowing the
Importance of the document and its bearing on
early church history and UNCONVENTIONAL polity,
have desired to see it. The original is about the
length OF the Epistle to the Galatians"
Said another scholar who had seen the book:
portant manuscript are at variance with nearly
every polity established. They are all shown to
be later growths or developments. The Episco-
pallan will find slender ground for the apostolic
succession; the Presbyterian loses his ruling
elder; the Baptist gets water poured on him,
and the Congregationalist gets small comfort
Each denomination will continue on in its own
way, no doubt, but this document will serve to
emphasize the fact, rather more than suspected
before, that to make a claim is not equivalent to
proving it and holding it against all Corners. The
book will be of interest to all classes of educated
people, whether they understand Greek or not;
for the translation is made by a competent
American scholar, with the advantage of advice
and counsel from one of our most distinguished
church historians. Competent judges have de-
clared the authenticity of the book beyond ques
ton. Attention has been called to some of the
peculiarities of the document in the Independent
and the Evangelist in the last two issues, and
the Examiner (Baptistl has already tried to
torestall any conclusions from its contents which
may prove prejudicial to the theory of INNER

PROFESSIONAL beggars are not uncommon in
any community but it is not every city which
can boast of such eminently respectable gentle
men engaged in that calling as are found in Bos-
ton These gentlemen are not ragged mendi-
cants who ask aims for themselyes-perish the
thought They are welldressed well educated
and of engaging manners, with an appearance of
worldly prosperity about them which is not al
together deceptive, They beg money for benev-
olent organizations, for churches, for education
al institutions, for missionary societies and for
all other bodies which depend upon the public
pocket. The professional gentleman is aware
that no member Of these institutions likes the
task of soliciting contributions, and therefore
offers his services-for consideration, usually

ABOUT the first of the year Mr.. and Mrs
Townsend, living near Oyster Bay, L. L, were
found by their neighbors in an unconscious
condition, and showing evidences of violent
and rufianly assault with a club or other
heavy weapon. Mrs. Townsend revived suf-
ficiently to accuse a certain negro of the vicin-
ity with having committed the deed, but i'm
mediately relapsed into stupor. The negro
proved an alibi but the affair being the third
of similar nature in that neighborhood,
caused great excitement, and every effort has
been made to detect the perpetrators, but to
no effect. A day or two ago Mr. and Mrs.
Townsend recovered complete consciousness,
and are much surprised to learn that they are
supposed to have been feloniouslv assaulted,
remembering nothing but of being attacked
with sudden sickness. The woman has no
recollection of having accused the negro. This
mysterious loss of memory battles the detect
ives, who have been awaiting the recovery Of
the injured couple, in the expectation that
they could throw some light upon the crime.

THE Cincinnati News Journal yesterday ap-
peared in new form, and under the manage
ment of Mr. Charles NJ. Steele, General Under
wood having retired. The paper is now printed
with the Gazette press, and is as much a repro
duction of that extinct paper, geographically
as can be. The new manager announces that
the News Journal will continue to be unfinch-
ingly and everlastingly Democratic. Il Mr.
Steele can find out what that is he will confer a
favor upon number of struggling statesmen in
Washington. He should send copy of his dis
covery to Mr.. Morrison at once AS it is now,
Morrison may be said to grope.

Look on this picture:

AS predicted steadily in these dispatches
that it would be, the Morrison bill passed the
caucus tonight by an overwhelming majority,
LA to 81, a two-thirds vote.-Courier-J ournal.
And then on this:
The philosophy of the caucus action shows
that the Morrison bill cannot pass The fifty
seven votes cast against it will be against the
adoption of the bill by the House, and it is
known, also, that members who will not vote
for the bill supported the Morrison resolution
as amended by Hopkins-that is, to let every
man vote as he pleases. 1t is certain, though,
that Mr.. Morrison and his bill might as well
be abandoned as to be defeated in the House.
He, however, prefers to take the latter course,
and is given the chance.-Cincinnati En-

THE Journal published yesterday what it
conceived to be fair and impartial statement
of the facts in the Wayne county trouble.
Mr.. W. D. Foulke sends letter to the Jour
nal, which appears elsewhere, giving what
may be called the Dudley side of the contro-
versy. Of course, the courtesy of our columns
for like statement from the friends of Mr..
Noble will be extended. Then the discussion
must stop, so far as the Journal is concerned.
1t is as we stated, essentially local differ
ence; it cannot be magnifed into an issue
involving the party in the State, and certainly
there is enough good judgment and sincere
regard for the party among the sterling Re
publicans of Wayne county to see that the
discussion is not allowed to grow into anything
serious
