Five hundred mormon immigrants ar
rived at Castle Garden, New York
half OF whom were English and the 9TH
er half Scandinavians. They were ac-
companied by seventeen mormon mis-
~sionaries, and Immediately started for
Utah. This is only days record of
mormon increase. How true it isthat
anything that SAVIOR of persecution de-
feats itself. The blood of the martyrs
is the seed of the church. Mormonism
was never so prosperous as in its day of
persecution, and the same thing may
be said of other denominations. Yet
people will still indulge in foolish talk
about crushing out this or that set
whose beliefs are contrary to their own.

The Cincinnati newspapers are still
trying to e~xculpate themselves from the
charge of netting the late riot, but
they find It q difficult matter. The
truth is, that instead of the so-called
dangerous classes" being at the bot

table NEWSPAPERS and respectable pub

nary comnSn sense there would have
been no riot. Undoubtedly the riot

WARNER,

The reports of railroad earnings for

smaller then last year, and the returns
for April show a very decided improve
ment, which is a pretty certain sign of

The DanVilIe Investigation.

There have been many useless eX-
United States Senate at various times
in the investigation of alleged outrages,
but the Danville investigation now 90
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 q local disturb
ance occurring in a 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 financiering Dy a vote of Z
to ~.
There was riot at Danville, 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
ly responsible.
For the course of Malone in Virginia,
after his trade in the Senate and his
adoption by the Administration, was
Just such q course as was almost sure to
bring on bloody collisions.
A calm survey of the history of Viz
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 rs it was in Eir-
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 anv
of the murders and lynchings that hap
pen in Ohio. Minnesota, Iowa and Kan
sas, as well as in other States Wash

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 ostensiDly 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.-HdrriSburgh (Pd.) Patriot.

The Republican Nominee.

The Chicago NcUS IS at some pains
TO find out what was very plain to most
observant persons ON the very surface
of public opinion. 1t addressed Il large
number OF letters to prominent men in
the Republican party in the different
States asking il General Logan was
the first or second choice of his party
for the Presidential nomination. The
responses show concurrence of opin-
ion in all sections that the Illinois Sena.
tor is neither the first nor the second
choice of Republicans. These letters,
however, drew forth casual expressions
of preference which are much more
significant than those respecting Gen
eral Logan. Three men are named by
two-thirds of the correspondents as the
choice of their States-President Ar
thur, eX-Secretary Blaine and Senator
Edmunds. These gentlemen are given
the relative prominence indicated in the
order in which they are mentioned.
The conclusion to be iairly drawn from
the facts is that neither will lsave ma
jority in the convention. 4 combina-
ton will therefore be necessary or
new man will have to be taken. A
combination on Mr.. Blaine is rendered
impracticable on account of his prom
inence and the established enmities ex-
listing toward him. The Grant-Conk-
ling element of the party would never
60 TO Mr.. Blaine, and its dis
taste for him is so pronounced that
his defeat before the people would be
feared even by those who would like &c
see him President There is much more
probability of union of the friends of
MesSrs. Arthur and EdmundS. though
the way to this sort of an alliance is not
without distractions. They are both
Eastern men. MIR. Arthur is machine
politician and has many embarrassing
complications in his own State. he is
likewise heartily disliked, if not dis
trusted, by the Garfield faction in Ohio
and Indiana These are some OF the
reasons why he would not be available
Senator Edmunds has fewer positive
drawbacks to prevent his nomination
than either of the Others, and at the
same time he has fewer positive ele-
ments of popularity. He comes from
small State, whose political status is
fixed and IS not to be affected by any
honor done to one of its sons. He is OF
a cold and distant nature, and has
placed few of the leaders of his party
under obligations to him. There would
be less of the ingredients of a hurrah
in a ticket with the frigid
Vermonter at the head of it than there
has been in any ticket ever offered by
the Republican party. Nevertheless,
Of the three most prominent Republic
ans to-day Mr.. Edmunds appears to
stand with at least equal chances to any.
A good estimator of chances, however,
would doubtless take the field against !
any fayorite. Lozis Republic9s.

A Moribund PARTY.

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 expected, 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 Eisihly 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
a party as maggotS to a rotten carcass
Arthur, Logan and Sherman, the three
prominent Republican candidates for the
Presidency, are the normal products of
the present putrescent and fly-blown
condition of the Republican Organizes

Neither of them ever attained public
position because either represented
