Political Notes

The iChicago Tribune and the Cincinnati Com
mercial were the leading papers in 1876 to parade
the charges against Mr.. Blaine, which the Post
now repeats and persists In. Both Of these great
journals are now earnest friends Of Mr.. Blaine, and
whole cases and rejected the charges As basoless.
Their course and judgment are the course and judg-
ment OF very large majority of all those who have
READ the testlmony.-Utica Herald.
The administration Of President Arthur has won
for itself the distinction Of being the only admins
tration Of an elected Vice President called TO the
Presidential chair that has been satisfactory not
only to the party but to the country.-Hartford
Courant.
If the Democratic party should make the next
Presidential fight on the tariff question, 1t would
certainly be beaten, and its powerful and In
huential organization reduced 10 the same condi-
ton Of impotence and modification as that OF Col
Morrison and his followers. But such disaster
may also result in the removal Of this pestsnt and
untlmely question from the politics OF the day.
New York Sun.
The Boston Herald reviews the cipher dispatches,
and then presents the case thus to the Democrats
who are urging his nomination.: "If Mr.. Tilden had
even the ysguest knowledge OF suspicion Of the
work in which his secretary and friends were en-
gagged, he is political knave. If he had not he Is
lacking in the mental and moral qualities needed in
president. Either horn Of the dilemma Il fatal
to the claims made in his behalf"
Commenting on the acquittal Of Wheeler, tbs
murderer of Matthews at Hazelhurst the New York
Tribune says: "The North Is, in the light Of such
events as this forced to believe that in the coming
Presidential campaign the Southern Democrats
will have recourse 10 the old evil practices BY
which in the past they have undertaken to secure
solid South for their ticket. There Is no desire
at the North to perpetuate this apprehension; but
when 1t Is seen that political crimes pass unpunsh
ed as of old, and that the community sentiment
holds harmless the sayers of those who are branded
as political friends or allies Of the colored voters
it is impossible to escape the conviction that no
change for the better has yet occurred In Southern
public opinion"

A Singular Affair which Occurred ON a
Steamer in Boston.
Boston, May 1S.-What is believed will
prove case of granddaughter was brought to
light last night by the death of Michael Reddy
q Storage passenger from the steamer Cepha-
lonia, at the city hospital here. The Cephal-
onia arrived here early Sunday morning and
Reddy was hurried ashore on stretcher and
taken to the hospital. Tho physicians there
believe death to have been the result OF heavy
blows about the head, probably inflicted in a
fight. Assistant Steward, William Smith, was
arrested this morning and taken before theIU,
s. Commissioner, who declined Jurisdiction.
Smith was locked up by the East Boston po-
lice and the British minister appealed to. He
will probably order his detention, pending an
autopsy to be held this afternoon. Assistant
Steward Smith states In connection with the
death of Mr.. Ready that while below in Bos-
ton harbor Saturday evening, he had occasion
to 60 to the apartment of Reddy and discover
ed that the latter had vomited considerably
He requested him to 60 up on deck when he
again was taken sick and Smith says slipped
and fell, striking upon his head. He was ap-
parently rendered unconscious and the stew
ard brought him up on deck when he shortly
revived. Smith also says that yesterday fore
noon, Reddy was one Of the first to respond to
the muster call for inspection by the Port Ply.

dock however, Reddy's condition was such

OF any OF these occurrences, yet it is known
Reddy's removal was accomplished with great
secrecy and at the expense of the Cunard Co.

portant officials of the State, and was also signed
by the leading manufacturers of my own city man
no special interest in louisiana no special interest
in this exposition except one of pure business Thew
know perfectly well that the only place for the ex
portation of the textile fabrics of this country h,
the future is to Mexico and the South American
and lsthmtan States. They know that thew cannot
compete in textile fabrics with France and Ger
many and England in their own countries. 1t is
an impossibility. But here are all the South
American countries and Mexico and the Isthmus
waiting for US to send our goods there They never
Will manufacture such goods, at least they will not

this exposition good way for business, and moth
ing else under the sun, and tnat is why, without
any sentiment, but purely as a matter OF business.

exposition (which undoubtedly will be a success).
in connection with what may DO done for the ea-
tablishment of shipping lines between here and
South American ports under legislation which this
Congress will certainl y enact into law, we are to
grow with great rapidity between our country and
the South American States. L am for the appropri-
alton for that reason. l would be for it IL i knew
the exposition would not pay a dollar back In

amount which seems to be adequate.
