WARNING TO THE DIsoRDERLY.

The most effective soldiers as has been
proved over and over again, are quiet, home
keeping, industrious citizens, when they are
driven to take up arms in self-defense. The
Cavaliers were no match for the Ironsdes and
train bands when the farmers and mechanics
of England felt themselves forced to the field.
The standing armies of Charles the Bold
melted like fog before the pixies and the steady
charge Of the Swiss herdsmen when they saw
no course open to them but battle. The same
qualities of order, steadiness and persistence
admirable soldiers Our late war proved it
again in the infinite superiority of the farmers
and mechanics to the rowdy forces of the
Atlantic cities. Now the same quail
ties that make the best of citizens also
make the most dangerous enemies of disorder
when the disordery element endapgers the
peace and stability of society. When the
orderly and law-abiding citizens of San Fran
cisco saw that they could get no relief or safety
from the prostituted authorities, they soon
showed the gamblers and rowdies that they
were infinitely worse men to deal with than
swept the scoundrels out with a completeness
and dispatch that should be lesson to the
disorderlv element of all communities for all
time But that element is one that knows
nothing and cares nothing for the lessons of
the past, or the Schwab and Most disci-
Piles of mischief would temper their vio
lence with a very large measure of pru-
dence. The good citizen will bear a great
deal before he willresort to extra. legal redress
or relief. But he can be driven to other
means of safety. and when he is. the mischief
makers need to look to themselves. To the
verge of this resort the violence and folly of
the Socialists are pushing him. The Internal
teachings of such men as Schwab only need
few practical illustrations in action to force
the crisis, and we had something of the sort
on Monday night Good citizens don't pro-
pose to see social order and security torn down
at the whm of destructives who have no
purpose but disorder and anarchy and

establishment of peace and order by law. they

highest of all laws-sef-preservation. When
they are forced to that extremity it will be an
evil day for Most and his followers, and all
who dilfusc and approve his principles. They

try rs promptly as Yankee Sullivan, and Judge

THEannual report of Hon. Ben Butterworth,
Commissioner of Patents shows that the re-
ceipts of the bureau of patents for 1884 ex-
ceeded the expenditures by $105, 219. and that
there is balance in the treasury of So. 781, 695
to the credit of the bureau. In view Of these
facts, it isa great injustice to inventors that
the cost of application is not greatly reduced,
and the wrong is intensified by the long de-
lay between the filing of applications and the
decision of them. There is need for immedi-
ate legislation to correct this injustice.

THE action of Mr. l.. T. Kitchener, of Shell
byville, in bringing suit against the super
intendent of schools for the mistreatment Of
his little daughter, will be heartily seconded
1t appears that during one of the recent ex-
tremely cold days, when the thermometer reg
stered eighteen degrees below zero, she was
not allowed to enter the school-room because
tardy, necessitating her return home
through the cold and snow, whereby
it is alleged she suffered great pain and pos
sible permanent injury. The people of this
State owe it to school children that this ash
nine System that cripples pupils and wears
out teachers, be modified until it shall con-
form with common-se Mr.. Micheners
case is not an isolated one, but the very same
kind Of outrage, and others only less barbar-
Gus, have been perpetrated over and over
again 1t is imperative that rules be adopted
pushed to the extremity of cruelty. 1t
is to be presumed that teachers have
sense enough to administer them proper
ly. Little children are sentient beings,
susceptible of management by reasonable
methods, and should never be subjected to
punishment that even their immature minds
can but recognize as cruel and unjust The
man who would drive dog from his door
when the weather was as severe as on the
occasion named is unfit to have charge over
the care and development of children, and
deserves to be taught that school rules carried
to barbarous extremes cannot be tolerated.

A BLUBBERING COWARD.

Given a dose of his own medicine, O'Dono-
van Rosa squeals like a pig under gate. His
babyish whining can be compared to nothing
dignifed or heroic. He is as schoolgirl
caught masquerading in male attire, and who
cries and sniffies when her shame is detected.
His wound was pronounced not dangerous i'm
mediately upon examination, but this buster
ing fellow must make an ante-mortem state
ment. The absurdity of such puerile and ar
rant cowardice in one who has bloviated as he
has! 1t is enough to make his own mother
Captain Phelan, the man hacked to pieces in
Rossa's Office, the conduct of Donovan is
shamefully humiliating to his professed ad
mirers
What is the matter with jeremiah Donovan
for that is the real name of this man, who
has of himself added the aristocratic O to the
Donovan, and supplied Rosa from the fertility
of his own brain-what is the matter with
him, that he has suddenly sickened of his
own pet pleadingsf To reporter he COM
planned that his assailant chad no private
revenge to crafty; no relative of hers had
been injured in the English explosions" Ac-
cording to this same mans teachings, this
very fact lifts the woman to the plane Of pa
triotic" heroism, so that, judged by the dyna
miter's standard, she should be praised not
censured. Rosa himself Gas but barely
mouthed out the satisfied smirk over the ex-
plosions in the House of Parliament and in
the Tower, whereby the lives of women and
children were imperiled, and now he whines
that some one-and woman-should prove
so apt pupil in the school of assassination.
This man Rosa undoubtedly magnifes his
importance in connection with the London
explosions. Certain it is that he has taken
precious care not to expose his own person,
and now that danger hunts him out, he blub-
bers and witness the veriest BOBBY in the
school he would bully. His ''laurels' are in
danger, for it must be that among his fellow
assassins there is one with some show Of
manly bearing and possessed of pluck
His conduct at moment when dan
ger seemed imminent revealed the ma
ture of the man, and the reading
world recognizes his craven spirit as unworthy
the leadership of even drunken picnic brawl
Doubtless, he will now assume to pluck the
flower courage from the nettle danger, but the
act will be a pitiful farce that can deceive
nobody. Assaulted by woman, his mask
falls, and he stands before the world SWIVEL
ing bastard. If his friends have any self
respect, his influence is gone forever, and the
public will be spared the idle boastings of this
fellow, who possesses none of the elements Of
leadership, none Of the courage of which men
are made.

A QUESTION OF DISCIPLINE.

The conduct of the Potato-creek farmer,
whose case was mentioned in yesterday s
Journal raises point in domestic etiquette
which has not hitherto been considered. The
Potato-creek citizen, suspecting that his wife
was in love with the hired man, took her to
task When she failed to deny the soft i'm
parchment, but, on the contrary, admitted its
truth, the husband chastised her and "gave
the hired man until Wednesday" to leave
The woman, according to the account, was
but slightly influenced by the chastisement
the nature of which our correspondent omit
ted to mention; but on the dismissal of the
"help' her anger was aroused, and she de-
clared that she would go with him. There
upon the Potato-creek man knelt
in prayer and fervently petitioned
that his wife's thoughts might be
turned away from the stranger within her
gates, and brought back to himself and her
three children, The prayer proved ineffect-
ual, and when Wednesday came the hired
man drove up with a sleigh, the woman with
her baggage and the baby got in, the husband
tucking the robes about her carefully. He
then tearfully kissed her, and said he hoped
and prayed she would be happy and satisfied
in the Oregon home to which she was bound.
The question now is "Would it not have
been better for the Potato creek man had he
reversed his programme-or even omitted a
portion of itp' There can be really no sound
objection raised to the offering up of prayer
on such an occasion, though the probability
is that most husbands would have dispensed
with that ceremony; but there may be a
reasonable difference of opinion as to the time
illness of uttering it. 1t will be remem-
bered that the old man who caught the
boy in his apple tree tried, first, soft words,
then grass, then sticks, and, finally, stones,
and that it was the powders which fetched
to pray, it might have been well had he done
so before taking harsher measures. When a
woman has just been thrashed, it is but natural
that she should not at once be animated by
tender feelings towards her chastiser, even
though he is on his knees asking that she be
punished further. To the general apprehen-
sion it seems likely that if the aggrieved hus-
band had followed up his prayer by works,
and had not only soundly "chastised' the
erratic wife, but had thoroughly pummeled the
hired man, the consequences might have been
more satisfactory to himself. Women are so
curiously constituted that as between two
men they are apt to side with the victor, and
it is not improbable that the wife of the Po-
tato-creek man would, under the circumstan-
ces, have been better pleased to see her lover
whipped than to have beheld her husband on
his knees when he should have been manipn-
lating club. 1t is matter of opinion, of
course, as to whether prayer or Sullivan's
tactics should take precedence in such an
emergency but in view of the fact that the
hired man and the coachman are fascinating
creatures, it behooves every citizen to make
up his mind how he will behave under circum-
stances like those which befel the Potato creek
man.

THERE is something in name, after all, as
young Mr.. Evans. alias DOyley, formerly of
Pennsylvania, and now of Paris, has discovered
at some cost. Mr.. Evans regarded his patro-
nymic as plebeian, and as he contemplated
taking up his residence in France he prevailed
upon the Common Pleas Court of his native
State to change his name to that of Marquis or
Count DOyley. This done, the young man
hied him to Paris to practice his trade of dent
istry. AS it happened. he had an uncle in that
capital also dentist, but who had retained the
family name of Evans, and had become distin-
guished, not only as the most brilliant, success
full and high priced tooth manipulation known,
but also as a personal friend of ex Empress
Eugene and other rotabilities. Count D'Oyley
presently discovered that the dentists trade did
not flourish well, and thinking that it might pay
betterif he were known as Dr. Evans, he uncer-
enormously dropped the arstocrstic title and
assumed the old one. Thereupon the elder
Evans, who would probably have encouraged the
youth had he not attempted to travel in bor-
rowed plumage at first, brought action against
his nephew to prevent him from using the name
he was born to but had rejected The French
courts held that as he had legally adopted the
name of D'Oyley, he had no right to assume
any other. Every time he calls himself Evans,
therefore, he is fined 100 francs, and the way of
the ambitious but foolish young dentist is hard.
