London Truth.
There is so much nonsense current about Sir
Charles Dixie that it is desirable, in his inter-
ests that the facts should be known. He is a
correspondent in the case of Crawford VS.
Crawford Mrs. Crawford is sister of his
sister-in-law, Mrs. Ashton Dixie, and Mr.. Craw-
ford is gentleman who was the legal secretary
of the late Lord Advocate, Mr.. Balfour. Mrs
Crawford made statement to her husband
involving Sir Charles as Co." and her
allegation is that the circumstances took
place about year ago. 1t is understood
that this is the sole evidence, and it is not
probable that Mrs. Crawford will appear to corr
roborate her statement in the witness box Mr.
Crawford, who is a man of the highest honor,
deems it necessary TO submit the matter to the
verdict of jury. who will have to decide
whether the wifes statement is worthy of credit
1t is not easy to see how he could act otherwise;
although, if Sir Charles is to be deemed guilty
upon confession which has all the impress of
An hysterical hallucination. the whole of which
he meets with denial, it is difficult to see how
any man is, in future to regard himself as safe.

THE starting of a weekly paper by fifteen
Washington correspondents for the purpose of
securing place in which they can air their in
divdual views on politics and other matters of
interest seems to be rather foolish enterprise
The first business of correspondent is to state
facts as he sees them and not to write editorials;
but if he should choose to incorporate any vau-
able personal opinions in his specials" they are
not likely to be eliminated by the discriminating
editor and are therefore not lost to the world
If he can not succeed in getting his views into
print through the ordinary channels he may be
reasonably sure that the public does not yearn
FOR them, and will not rush franticaly to SUBJ
scribe for the journal in which they are fully set
forth. 1t is urged that the politics of the daily
paper which the correspondent favers with his
contributions may differ from his own, and.
therefore, be a means of hampering him in the
expression of his private sentiments. In such
event he is unfortunate but as it is not difficult
to find newspapers representing almost any
shade of opinion his remedy is to transfer his
services to the particular organ which meets his
approval. Some obstacles now and then may
stand in the way of such harmonious fitting of
the literary laborer to his work, but they can be
overcome The position of Democrat or mug
wump obliged to write political news for an avowed
Republican sheet, or vice versa, u.s. of course,
very trying. but as mugwump, and Republican,
and Democratic papers are to be found on every
hand, it is Drawing unnecessary suffering when

some days before the election" was quite
enough to intimidate voters who value their
lives, and its effect was sufficiently lasting to
make no further Bourbon demonstration nee

followers will feel that it is time to adminisss

natural one among Wises supporters, and it
is the effort to ward it off that causes SO much

THE postal service under the reform admin
istration is deteriorating all along the line.
The patrons of city offices and of crossroads
offices where the Fourth class ak has been
welded will alike testify to this fact. Expert
enced postal clerks, yet retained for safety,
would explain, if they cared to speak, that the
growing inef1iciency is due to the increasing
number of Unqualified men put into their
branch Of the service. To the public whose
only dealings are with the employees in the
Offices it seems sufficient explanation of the
things that go wrong when they find
these new public servants slow, stupid
and prone to make mistakes where quickness
and accuracy were formerly the rule. There
seems no good reason why the party in power
should not take charge of system brought
by Republican business methods to something
like perfection, and manage it satisfactorily,
but the fact remains that it has not done So
The excuse is, of course, that in putting in
new men, some friction will necessarily result;
but the public cares nothing for men, new or
old, but does insist upon good service The
people will presently demand reform" in
tones not to be misunderstood; but it will be
of different sort from that preached and
practiced by the creatures of the reform adj

WHATEVER else may be said for him-and
Leonard is not an honest man. He passed
out from the Cincinnati Conference and made
speech in the Fifth-street market-space, in
which he sought to createsthe impression that
the conference had indorsed his candidacy for
Governor. The veriest ward politician would
not have done such thing under the circum-
stances, to say nothing of man who is a

THE Democratic pyramid is strengthened
by the addition of the name Of Morris A.
Thomas, appointed Indian inspector from
Maryland last June. Those who know him
represent him to be ballot box stuffer and
negotiator of fraudulent bonds. A delegation
of Democrats from Baltimore are in Washing
ington urging his removal, on the ground that
the district from which he was appointed
would be lost to the party if he was allowed
to remain in office. 1t doesn't seem to have
occurred to the Performers" from Baltimore
that partisan considerations should never enter
into the question of an officials fitness. The
President should rebuke them for trying to
Gust a Democratic knave in order to save a

loyal ingratitude from this man. If he were

which he SO unworthily lives that it was "a
