rs THIS ANOTHER BAD 0NE7

It was supposed that the nomination of G..
V. N Lothrop, of Michigan, to be minister to
Russia, was among the few creditable ones
made by Mr. Cleveland But the New. York
Tribune prints the judgment of the Court of
Appeals, in case in which man of similar
name was an attorney, that casts grave doubts
upon the general opinion, if the per-
son be the same. The case came
before the highest court in the Empire State
in the year 1865. The title of the case is
''The State of Michigan against the Phoenix
Bank" and it is found in 33 New York Re
ports, page 8. The merits of the case in
volved financial transaction, to which the
State of Michigan was one party and the
Phoenix Bank the other, Mr.. Lothrop
acting as the attorney for the bank
The bank assumed to have valid claim
against Michigan for $16 400, advanced in
1888 to one Norton, who at that time acted as
an agent of the State. The claim was prose
cuted before the Board of State Auditors, and
Mr. Lothrop claimed to have established six
propositions, the last one of which was that
the bank had never been paid one cent on its
claim. It was proven, on the contrary, that
the bank had realized considerable amount
of money out of securities turned
over to it by Norton, and the Court
of Appeals found that Lothrop made state
ments that "were designed and intended to
mislead the Board of State Auditors as to the
actual facts and merits Of the case relating to

from the worst wards of the wickedest city in
the Union, elected the man now President.
The only way the Cleveland administration
can represent the best people of this country
is BY giving them good government. It is
yet too early to predict what kind of admins
tration we are to have. 1t is already evident
that it will be far from perfection, for some of
the greatest honors and gravest trusts have
been given to undeserying, not to say dis
reputable, men. Evidence is not wanting
that the stage play of superior political virtue
is soon to be abandoned, and the work of
speedy revolution in the offices will be begun
in earnest, and in utter defiance of the sup
posed restrictions imposed by the civil-service
rules

THE claim set up in behalf of the admins
tration, that it represents the best elements
of the country, the honesty, virtue or patriot
ism of the people, is absurd. Primarily, it
must represent just the opposite. It was

fair means or foul, solid for Cleveland. These,

THE MACKIN-GALLAGHER CASE.

AS was anticipated, Judges Harlan and
Gresham disagreed in the Mackin- Gallagher
case, and the two defendants are out on bail
to await the decision Of the Supreme Court of
the United States upon the question whether
the crime of which they are convicted is Gin
famous within the meaning Of the
twelfth amendment. Justice Harlan was
of opinion that ~ the prosecution and
conviction Of the defendants was legal and ac-
curate, but Judge Gresham differed, and the
two colossal scoundrels, for whose punishment
such strong efforts have been made. and such
an expense incurred by those who believe
in the purity of the ballot, enjoy
the benefit of the Judges doubt
1t was not questioned that the
uniform practice of the United States Courts
in that circuit has been to prosecute similar
actions upon information, and it is believed
that such is the practice all over the country.
In this view of the case, it is a thousand pit1es
that these election criminals should be the first
to receive the benefit of the doubt that has
just now arisen. We do not know, but ven
ture the assertion that while on the district
bench here Judge Gresham has sentenced
men to the penitentiary who have been pros
ecuted on information, and that the idea
never presented itself to his mind that the
judment of the court was Illegal. If the opin-
ion he now holds be the just one, it is
readily seen that few, if any, prosecutions can
be made except on presentment or indict-
ment by the grand jury. The adoption of the
twelfth amendment shows that it was intend
ed to draw legal distinction between
"crimes" and infamous crimes and, ac-
cording to the recent opinion Of Justice
Gray in the Michigan case, an Gin
famous crime" is one where the
punishment may be imprisonment with hard
labor" the hard labor being an infamous
punishment. In the Mackin- Gallagher case
not only was there no such sentence
but the law under which they were
PROCEEDED against, uoeS not authorize
the court to sentence to hard labor,
so that Judge Gresham must hold that simple
imprisonment is Infamous" making the
crime Infamous" and, therefore within the
exception of the amendment. This opinion
is not only outside of the Michigan decision
alluded to, but, as we have said, if sustained
by the Supreme Court will practically
break up prosecutions by information. for all
crimes will then become Infamous" There
is great feeling in Chicago over these cases,
and the regret is general that this precious
brace of scoundrels are given additional
chances to finally defeat justice. Justice
Harlan announced that the Supreme Court
would decide the question in October.

THE Democratic papers now say that Sen
ator Logan's victory does not amount to
much-he had very small margin. That is
very true, and because Of it the greater is the
triumph. The reelection of General Logan
has done more to inspire the Republican party
Of the Nation and to dishearten the Demo
cratic party than anything that could have
happened less than the election of both Blaine
and Logan in 1884.

Prof. Charles Bessey states in the April b.

IT has been wisely said that there is no fool
like an old fool. And when an old fool adds
rascality to foolishness he only increases the
depth and suddenness of the fall that is sure to
speedily ensue. Simon Brown of Olean, N Y.
aged seventy, furnishes proof of this adage
He fell in love with Sarah Post, aged eighteen
and being rich, the girl was persuaded to marry
him. His children, also wealthy, were greatly
opposed to the match, and he promised them
that if they would pay him So, 900 he would not
marry the girl. The money was paid to him
last Thursday. He married the girl the next
day. and made her present of the S., 900. The
same day the young bride disappeared, and took
the money with her. The man is doubtless
wiser than he was. The gvl will be
lucky if she escapes the fpenitentiary
before she dies. In the same
line must be classed Benjamin Hawley of Dan
bury. Conn, aged fifty On Saturday last he
buried his wife, who had long been an invalid.
On his way from the funeral he stopped and
married his housekeeper. The citizens were
naturally indignant at such outrageous haste
would have tarred and feathered him had he not
begged piteously to be spared
In contrast to these is the selfsacrifcng
conduct of Mrs. Woods, of Buffalo. Her hus-
band is on trial for the murder of man
whose life he took because he believed that he
maintained illicit relations with Mrs. Woods
The woman, though generally believed guiltless,
pleads that she had been unfaith:ul for years,
her evident intention being to mitigate the
offense of her husband Even the District At
torney is convinced of this and will endeavor to
prove that she is an honorable woman and true
wife.
