Grown Indifferent to the Name of Gar
Hald-

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The Capital
prints the following gossip: l see that it is
reported that Mrs. Garfield is contemplating
3 change in her name, and hear at the
same time that the managers of the Garfield
hospital, finding that the lady takes no sp-
parent interest in their enterprise, are
thinking of changing its name also. The
name OF Garfield" does not seem to have
brought good fortune to q worthy and much
needed charity. People naturally wonder
Why an institution which Is intended to be
the most enduring to the de.
ceased President should receive no encour-
agement from Mrs. Garfield, who was given
a fortune of nearly $500, 900 because her hus.
band was shot while holding the office of
President. The rumor hat she is to remarry
seems to excite no surprise among her
friends.

why Do People Commit Suicide?

Generally because they are respondent.
They are respondent because their health
has run down by reason of dyspepsia, de-

Mr.. WATTERsON is willing to tolerate Mr..
Cleveland in little Vandalism, but he must
not go too far. The Louisville Courier-Jo
nal of yesterday says:
1--WE are glad to believe that Mr.. Cleveland
is Democrat of Democrats in his adhesion to
all the cardinal tenets of his party, including
the primary and supreme Democratic axioms
that all constitutional governments should de-
pend upon the consent of the governed, and
that the voice of the majority is the voice of
the people. His own personal opinions on
many points of political controversy may be,
perhaps, subjects Of conjecture and inference,
but it is impossible that man of his char
acter and intelligence could fail to acknowl-
edge his allegiance to the political doctrines of
the majority Of the Democrats and indepen-
dent Republicans whose votes made him
President Such feelings as he may happen
to entertain for Mr. Sam Randall are another
matter This must be rested on purely per-
sonal basis. Everybody to his taste, as the
man said when he kissed the cow; or, as the
Latin hath it, de gustibus, non disputandum.
We often see very excellent men and women
exhibiting inexplicable fancies for exceedingly
objectionable or thoroughly inane and incon-
sequential persons. This sort of fancy does
not prove that the favored objects of such
whims are deserving people, but omnibus est
desijure in loco, we must all play the fool at
times. We simply recognize it as passing
weakness by which bright mind reveals the
presence OF its sun-spots, and pass on"

THE Louisville Commercial saws:

''The Prohibitionists are fond Of pointing
to Kansas as model Of what can be done in
the way of enforcing prohibition. But the
law has never been enforced in Kansas, save
in spots, here and there, where there was a
sentiment which commanded its enforcement.
Atchison furnishes fair illustration of the
truth of this statement. A recent dispatch
states that ever since the enactment Of the
prohibitory law, in 1881, it has been a dead
letter. Saloons were openly licensed be-
cause public sentiment favored it, and the
city collected a revenue of $4,000 annually
from licensing unlawful houses. Lately pub
lie sentiment has been changing, and an effort
is making to enforce the law, with what sue
cess remains to be seen.
"What we need in Kentucky is not SO much
law as the enforcement, which means the Gre
alton of public sentiment which will COM
mand the enforcement Of the law If the law
regulating the licensing and keeping of liquor
saloons were honestly enforced in spirit half
the saloons in Louisville and other parts of
Kentucky would be closed"

EVERY one will be grieved to hear that the popular

present suffering from the results of somewhat
serious accident. Not very long ago she had the mis-
fortune to fall down and break her leg but the injury

the bones had not been properly joined and the leg
had actually to be rebroken in order that the fracture
could be treated again successfully. 1t is how

IT is now discovered that at one time Mr..
Edward j. Phelps, appointed minister to Eng
land, spoke in the bitterest terms of Mr..
Lincoln, and denounced the abolition war;
Mr.. McLanc, minister to France, wanted to
shoot down the Massachusetts, volunteers on
their way to the national capital. 1t should
be remembered that both these men are old
Democrats, and it would be hard to find a
Democrat Of age in 1861 who had not de-
nounced Abraham Lincoln, and who did not
want to shoot Union soldiers.

The press Of Chicago is naturally and very
properly deeply stirred by the order of Judge
Gresham which suspends for time at least,
the execution of the righteous sentence OBJ
tanned against Mackin and Gallagher for their
infamous crime against the ballot-box,
whereby they attempted to determine
the complexion of the Illinois State
Legislature and the choice of a United States
senator After the most earnest efforts, and
the expenditure of fifteen thousand dollars in
money, by q citizens association formed for
the purpose of protecting the suffrage against
the crimes Of these scoundrels and others like
them, conviction was secured in the United
States Court, and the two principals
sentenced to two years in the State prison.
The prompt enforcement of thatpenalty would
welfare of society and the permanence of our
form of government, while the suspension of
the sentence, with the possibility of final es
cape of the convicts from the hands Of the
law, will unnerve the effort of honorable, law
abiding men, and will give courage to the
criminals and scoundrels who, for years. have
made elections a mockery. It would seem
that, in such case, judge would
try and interpret the law in
the interests of society and against
the criminals but, instead of this, the old,
old story is repeated, and the niceties of ju-
dicial Interpretation and the whole force Of
the claw as expressed through it's chos-
en- ministers, are exerted in favor
Of crime and against society. Thus
it is always; and thus it is that criminals
60 unwhipped of justice, while there is begot-
ten in the minds of the public an insensibility
to crime, until at last, in an evil hour, with
patience exhausted, there is sudden waking
up, and resort to that court where there are
no technicalties, but where justice is melted
out with startling and rugged simplicity.
While in this particular case Judge Gresham
took occasion to say that his interference with
the sentence of the district court must not be
interpreted as in any degree favorable to the
convicted ballot forgers, it is so, and
it's effect cannot be explained away.
1t averts the penalty the convicts should now
be suffering; it gives them another chance to
defeat justice, and it puts further obstacles in
the already sufficiently difficult path Of punish
ing purse-proud and politically powerful
criminals.
