WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER A, 1885
The November Elections.

THE WATcHMAN goes to press too early
this morning to give any definite returns of
the elections held yesterday. The latest
indications were that the republicans would
carry New York by at least 10000 plurality.
A republican victory in Massachusetts, is as
sured beyond all question. The result in
Virginia is uncertain. Elections were also
held in eight other states, but these are not
very important this year.

THE vICE-PREsIDENT's BATH.

Vice President Hendricks is back at At
lantic City with q new hook and plenty of
bait already cut. There is consequently
good deal of CONSERVATION among the
fishes. Mr. Hendricks arrived at the sea-
shore yesterday morning, and it being
Sunday morning and he an Indiana man,
OF course he did not so angling. But he
went in bathing, and we are told by
correspondent, no doubt a correspondent
of the veracious kind, that it was high
noon when he sailed forth to wrestle with
Old Ocean. He was alone and wore
'black pantaloons of the regulation
Wabash cut, reaching to his ankles, and a
dark blue coat all buttoned down before.
His feet were bare and bony."
He walked out in the surf hundred
yards from the shore and then turned his
face inland and listened to the wild waves,
which seemed to be repeating over and
over again the weird refrain, "Turn the
rascals out turn, turn 'em out"
But there was q wild wave behind him
TO which he paid no attention. This par
ticular wild wave was very well developed,
and it rotated the Vice-President in the
small of the back in the most exuberant
New Jersey style For the next minute
or two the air seemed to be full of Vice
Presidential legs and arms and sand and
water, but Mr.. Hendricks finally straight
ened himself out and went ashore, making
remark about there having been a damp
big breaker some where in the vicinity.
To-day, no doubt, he will take his re-
yenge on the fishes.

AN onIous STATUTE.

That section of the Revised Statutes
which inhibits persons who have been i'll
the public service from engaging in the
prosecution of any claims against the De-
partments that were pending at the time
of their resignation or removal and for
period of two years thereafter, is not only
odious in itself but obnoxious to every
principle of justice and common sense,
and ought not to be resurrected from the
dead-letter grave in which it was thought
to have been permanently buried.
The statute is based, of course, upon
the affectation that there is certain inn
propriety in counsel having anything to
do with cases of which they have had
previous official knowledge; and it in
wolves the further assumption that such
counselors or attorneys will make fraudu-
lent or dishonest use of the knowledge
thus obtained. Nor is it straining the
point at all to say that the statute also re.
fleets upon the integrity of the department
officers themselves, with whom the in
hibited parties are thus brought in contact,
as though together they were certain to
constitute syndicate or ring for the pur-
pose of cheating the Government.
In other words the statute implies that
the Departments are school of rascality,
and simply draws n separating line be-
tween the rascals outside and the rascals
inside. Now, the fair presumption is that
the men who bring cases against the De-
partments are honest as rule. If they
are known or suspected to be otherwise,
there is process by which they may be
disbarred. The same presumption is fair
as to the officials of the Government, and
the latter are certainly in position to
protect the interests with which they are
charged.
Is it not, therefore, fragrant injustice
to exclude from practice in the Depart
ments any ex-clerk or ex-employe, SIM
ply upon the ground that through years
of faithful service to the Government he
has acquired information and experience
that may be to his professional advan-
tage? 1t is into this that the question re-
solves itself.
A statute so plainly violative of the con-
stitutional rights of the citizen would
never stand the test of a judicial inquiry,
and the authorities may well hesitate be-
fore proceeding to its enforcement. tits
not only Encouragement to hundreds of
worthy men who would otherwise re-
main in Washington in the pursuit of
their legitimate vocations, but standing
imputation upon the ability and disposi-
ton of the Department officials to do the
uublic business in an honest Way

says we may look out for a brilliant comet
in the southwestern heavens early in Au-
gust or late in July. 1t is impossible to
see the comet at present because it travels
IN the orbit of the sun. The detection by
the latter part of July or in August will
bring it above the horizon during the
early evening hours, when it will be
plainly visible. The comet, the professor
says, will be of the first magnitude.

BALTIMORE is tickled almost to death
with its whipping-post for wife-beaters.
Already two men have been lashed for in.
dulging in various gymnastic demonstra-
tions toward their better-halves, and the
feeling in favor of the whipping-post for
this class of offenders seems to be spread
ing. In Richmond, Va, on Saturday
night, at meeting of ladies' married and
single, resolutions were adopted recom-
mending the same method of castgation.
Thus, one by one, our inalienable rights

KEYHOLE POLITICS.

The distinguished New York statesman
who peeped over the transom ut Albany,
has a fit counterpart and probably blood
relation in the individual who, at the Con-
tinental Hotel in Philadelphia, on a GER
tain December evening in 1878, took notes
of conversation going on in an adjoining
room between Senator Mcpherson of New
Jersey and Mr.. William J. Sewell, rela-
tive to the election of the latter to the
United States Senate. 1t is of no conse-
quence what the purport of that conyer-
sation was, or what the nature of the al
legged compact then entered into, the
means by which the information was OBJ.
tanned was infamously low, and the subse-
quent betrayal of it to II third party was
simply damnable. Yet this k ey-hole listen
er to an interview with which he had no
concern is described as man of lofty
character; and of the person W no took the
matter secondhand to make surrepti-
tious use of it, it is said that no citizen
stands higher in public respectl BY what
standard are men measured in New Jer-
sey that sneak-thieves like these are put in
the category Of manhood at all?

The PLANTERS MONTHLY.

The Planters Monthly for Sep
tember is out. 1t contains the usual
variety of valuable information for
planters. Discussing the labor sup
ply of the future, the editor recon-
mends continuation of japanese
immigration so long as there is a
demand for it. An article on the
treatment of laborcrs on the planta-
tions, emphatically denies that the
laborers are ever beaten or other
wise ill-treated. Local papers which
have given currency to contrary
impression are hauled over the
Goals. As this paper has done so,
we may say that it was upon the
strength of information directly
conveyed by credible gentlemen,
who professed to have been wit
nesses of maltreatment while resi-
dents of planting districts. At the
same time, we have never received
or sought to convey the impression
that the alleged evils existed in more
than exceptional cases. The i'm
portant announcement is made that
the Trustees of the Planters Labor
and Supply Company have given in
their approval to the policy of the
Minister of the Interior, in having
boards of inspectors appointed for
each nationality considerably repre-
sented in the labor on the planta-
tions. This is an endorsement of
the position taken by the BULLETIN
upon that question at the outset,
in the face of very influential repre-
sentations that the policy was a
menace to the independence of the
country. So dependent is Ha-
wallan prosperity upon cheap labor
from abroad, in the present con-
dition of things, that the kingdom
should be prepared to make reason
able concessions to those countries
that are its principal sources Of
labor supply. Further, it appears
in this case that the policy adopted
was not by any means dictated by
Japan, but was conceived with ;
view to proving beyond a doubt tc
the Government of that nation that
the promises made to it, respecting
the treatment of its subjects here
were thoroughly sincere.
