The body of Cardinal McCloskey was laid to
rest Yesterday in the Cathedral crypt, beside the
remains of that Hildebrand of the American
Roman Catholic Church, Archbishop Hughes.
An imposing array of archbishops bishops,
monsignori and priests assisted at the obse-
ouies and the cathedral was filled to overflow
ing by the dcvout laity. The labors of Cardinal
McCloskey were in strong contrast to those of
Archbishop Hughes, but the work accomplished
is no less enduring; and his followers have
right to feel that he has joined "the choir
invisible of those immortal dead who live again
in minds made better by their presence"
There seems to be little room for doubt that
the Republicans will have good working ma
iority in both branches of the Ohio Legislature.
A report that Democratic frauds have been I'M
earthed will create no surprise. President
Cleveland offered great encouragement to such
work W hen he pardOned a police officer who
confessed to having committed gross Outrages
at the election last year. The adoption of the
Constitutional amendment abolishing the Octo-
Der elections, which seems to be conceded, will
be good thing for the State.
The Attorney Generals prompt action in
recommending the suspension of the Demo
cratic Chief Justice OF New Mexico is in strik-
ing contrast with his course in the Memphis
telephone suit. Not until the telephone scan
dial became so notorious that the President was
obliged TO interfere did the Attorney General
order his speculative suit discontinued But
the report that the Chief Justice of New Mexico
had appointed Stephen W. Dorsey one of three
Commissioners of Jurors led to prompt recon-
incubation by Mr. Garland that the Chief Jus
tice be suspended. Perhaps the Attorney Gen
eral is about to become "a reformer"

The Sun suggests that If Garland sells his tole-

could not but mako something. He has made
something out of it already-a reputation. This,

Under the able management OF Super
intendent William Dukes, the Sunday
school of tie Union Temperance Society
celebrated its Clildlen's Day at this
place, last Sund y, in manner very
creditable to all concerned. The eXer-
clses which were of religious nature,
were both interesting and instructive,
the children performing their part ele-
gantly. The singing by the little ones
and also by the choir was excellent
Rev. Mr.. Cain OF the Methodist church
addressed the children. The church
was profusely decorated with flowers
ard evergreens, and crowded with pei.
pie. There were two sessions, one in
the afternoon and the other at night

The good which Bro. Dukes has done
and still is doing for this locality in the
training of the youth of the land i'll the
way they should go is incalcuable. Hs
has the thanks and the prayers of the
fathers and mothers Of tile whole com
munity.
