The situation of the democrats in con-
gress on the tariff question is becoming
desperate. Another caucus is talked of
by some as the only way to saw theparty
from final disruption, but it is scarcely
probable that such an open confession of
weakness will be made. The Morrison
men are IN the ragged edge of uncertain
ty about the action of the Louisiana rep
~resentatives when the bill shall at last
come up. They voted for the measure
in the caucus, but the violent opposition
of their constituents in Louisiana to any
action on the tariff is frightening them,
and they may turn tail when the vote is
reached. The Randall men are quiet and
happy. 1t is said that the house will
vote on the bill next week.

stands upright on a we'll develop ed brow, his
nose is straight and cut square, as if by a too
sharpe stroke of the chisel; he wears a rather
thick moustache, and the lower portion of his
fat but energetic face is covered with a beard
cut close to the chin. He is short sighted and
has dark and penetrating eyes, which seem to
search you through and through, while a GER

The people of the ninth Iowa district
must view with considerable pride the
statesmanlike course of their representa-.
tive in congress. Thus far he has made
two speeches, both remarkable. In one
he took an hour or 80 to declare himself
neither opposed to nor in favor of the
bill under consideration. And in the
other he eloquently opposed any limita-
ton to the coinage of silver dollars. AS
an orator on the subject of ''mint beds"
Mr.. Pusey is a great success. AS a rep.
resentative of an Iowa district in con

LyNCHINos in the south are of com

may be only a coincidence that two Grim

mobs in the former locality were not in.
fuenced by the Cincinnati riots, their
deeds are not the less an additional

The council investigation Of the charges
against Mr.. James Creighton, chairman
of the board of public works. resulted
just as We expected in his complete vim
dication. The special committee, after a
thorough investigation, made a unani-
nous report generating him. No one
who knows Mr.. James Creighton believed
for one moment that there was a word of
truth in the charges made against him by
an irresponsible and impudent youth who
pretends to run a newspaper in this city.
The only reason that he had for assault
ing the IMPROBABLE character of Mr..
Creighton was to gain a little notoriety
by the audacity of his attack. He
boldly and persistently charged Mr..
Creighton with being in ~cullusion with
the Barber Asphalt Paving company.
The committee in its report emphatically
states that it found the charge to be :alse
in every particular. The most con-
temptible thing about the whole proceed
ing was the refusal of the irresponsible
sneak, who made the charge, to do any
thing to assist the council in the investi.
cation. Ho did not even appear at the
investigation, nor did he make TIE slight.
est attempt to substantiate his charge.
Furthermore, he has not had the decency
or manliness to retract any of his malici,
Gus falsehoods. His conduct in skulkiue
the investigation and avoiding making
any explanation is denounced by the
committee as cowardly and dishonorable,
Under the provisions of the city char.
ter the chairman of the board of publ,
works has no voice in the selection o.
paving material. For thirty days after
q street is ordered paved, the owners Of
real estate along the street have the righi
to select the material for paving, and il nc
selection is made within that time, tn,
mayor and council by ordinance designat.
the material to be used. Under such cir
cumstances it would be impossible for tn.
chairman Of the board Of public work,
to be in collision with street paving con
tractors, and hence the investigation was
virtually unnecessary.

THE Cincinnati riot, although q most
deplorable event, will have a beneficial
effect upon the juries and courts of that
city in the trial Of criminals. Already
the judges are arranging to make more
rapid progress in criminal trials. and the
probability is that a large number of the
forty CT more murderers. who were saved
from being hung by the mob, will be
convicted and legally executed. The
Cln~cinnatians have also com to the con,
clusion that politics must be divorced
from municipal affairs, and that the besr
men must fill the local Offices. They
have accordingly placed in the field ,
reform ticket, selected without regard t,
political views.
