THE highest evidence that can be found of
the patriotism and self-denial of the members
of the Legislature is their unwillingness to
spend on the State-house the money which is
absolutely necessary for the preservation of
their own health and for their reasonable COM
fort while in the discharge of their duties.
Charleston News and Courier.
On the contrary, it is proof of servile
hypocrisy that is a shame to American man
hood. A legislator who has not the courage
to spend enough of the public money to make
the State-house comfortable and healthful
for members of the Legislature is hypocrite
and unfit to make laws for civilized and
sensible people. The State that would en-
courage such things is unfit to have laws.
We don't think there is State in the Union
the people of which would favor such an idea.

THE statement which has been going the
rounds to the effect that there are only three
men in the Senate who are accused of even
occasional overindulgence in Intoxicating
liquors is open to some doubt, when the num-
prohibiting the sale Of such beverages in the
Capitol building is considered Possibly,
however, these senators were animated solely
by the thought of the convenience of en-
ployes and of visitors, and not of their own.
To strand Democratic Office seekers and their
friends on a dry Capitol hill, with liquid
refreshments half mile off, was doubtless
held to SAVIOR of inhumanity by these consid-
crate members

A SPECIAL to the Minneapolis Tribune from
Glendive, Montana, referring to the sudden
and unexplained removal of Judge Coburn,
says that he had no notification of his re-
moval nor any explanation of the reasons for
so perenptory action. Investigation was not
wanted; certain clique limited to few per-
sons desire to control the judiciary of the
Territory. Coburn not proving tool in their
hands, plot was laid and the desired end &C
complished. The new judge is not the one
wanted, and may not meet the wishes of the
clique. If not, he, too, will fall. Letters
were written to suspected persons, asking
them to make charges. One letter says
Hatch up something If you knew of his 60
ing to Indiana during the campaign, presum-
ably for political purposes, state it, as it will
help; anything that will show his ineligibility
or incompetency will do. 1t must be done
before Congress meets" From this it ap-
pears that moral assassi aation is the rule all
over the country. Republicans must go to
make room for Democrats. Charges must be
preferred: but the charges are so VIGOROUSLY
and UNANIMOUSLY false, in cases where they are
not contemptibly small, that the rule is that
they are not be shown, even to the accused
This is the lettre de cachet with vengeance,
put into the hands of any characterless
rascal who cares to assail honorable men.
Organized and approved assassination of char
acter is going on everywhere. Democracy,
never honest and outspoken, has put on an
other mask and taken to the highway
"Hatch up something" is the order whenever
place is wanted. The Postmaster general
sends out a confidential letter. and its orders
are scattered among the faithful Charges
must be made-no matter what; but they
must be made" And no matter about their
truthfulness nor the infamous character Of
the accuser in any instance. No reply or de-
Tense will be permitted In the case of Judge
Coburn, an honored citizen and gallant vet
eran, he was given no opportunity of defense,
but was struck from behind, and the attack
was so dastardly and unwarranted that the
citizens of Billings held mass-meeting, and
sent a telegraphic protest to Washington.
Glendive citizens also sent strong protest,
that the Judiciary be spared from attacks by
men who dare not face the men they assail

WHEN the case of Bowling, mail agent and
self-confessed briber, was presented before
Postmaster-general Villas, he declined to take
action until his side could be heard, (Which
might alter the appearance of the evidence"
But it does not appear that Bowling or any of
his friends are anxious to present his defense,
nor does Mr.. Villas seem to want to hurry up
the case, nor to need any defense On the part
of the briber. This is remarkable only in
view Of the fact that Republicans are not
treated with such leniency. Any tattler,
sneak Or informer can bring charges against
Republican in the postal service, and no de-
Tense is permitted, nor is the nature of the
charges explained. The injustice thus prac
ticed is Of a character that no honorable man
would consent to be made party to.

Judge Kelley's Book.

LINCOLN AND STANTON. By Hon. William D.
Kelley. G. p Putnams Sons, New York
The venerable Judge Kelley. who by the way,
is not only the "Father" of the present House of
Representatives. but has also served longer, by
several years, in that branch of Congress than
any member ever served, has written this little
intimate friends, President Lincoln and Secre-
tary Stanton, in reply to the article of General
Mcclellan in a late number of the Century Mag
azine. The book is fatal blow to the much
Wanted generalship Of Mcclellan, and utterly
anrihiates his character as a patriot. It shows
his true character to have been that of dis
loyal dissembler, moral and physical coward,
and one utterly unworthy of the command Of
loyal troops. General McClelland was undoubt-
eddy good organizer of armies for dress parade
and display, but without any ability or DISPOSE
ton to fight them. Judge Kelley does not rely
upon hearsay to sustain the charges he makes,
but proves them by the official records of the
war; and very largely by the reports of
General Mcclellan himself. An instance or two
will suffice in this notice to show how the inca
pacity of the commander is established by the
author. McClellan's friends in and out of the
army. claimed for him his extraordinary ability
as military engineer, yet it is shown from his
own report that in a country so we'll known and
easy Of access as that about Yorktown Va,
Mcclellan marched his army to fight the enemy
in utter ignorance of the topography of the
country, even to the existence and course of the
rivers which he would have to cross; and again.
in the region about Harpers' Ferry he proposed
crossing the Potomac river by bridge to be
composed of canal boats At great expense of
money and time he prepares his fleet of boats
and places them in the canal that was open to
him through its entire length only to find that
his boats were several feet too long and too wide
TO get through the locks. Other instances Of as
astounding ignorance and incapacity are as
clearly established. No impartial person can
read this book but that will make his verdict
that Mcclellan not only an incapable fraud
as fighting soldier, but further, that he was not
in sympathy with the North or the Northern
troops in the effort to suppress the rebellion.

indianapolis post-ofice would be good one
to expose. The postmaster here has drawn
about him all the party bummers, and has ex-
tended every encouragement to disreputable
sneaks willing to go to still lower depths by
making charges that they know to be false.
The postoffce has become machine that no
longer accommodates the public nor cares to.
Good men have been thrown out because they
were Republicans, and incompetent and surly
men put in their places.

REBELLION has broken out in base ball circles.
Providence player of great skill refuses to be
sold by the League as if he were slave, and de-
clares that if he is not allowed to dispose of him
self and his services as may best suit him he will
repudiate the National game from this time
forth. 1t remains to be seen whether this in
subordinate person will be summarily dealt with
or whether the League will tamely submit and
allow player to behave as if he were a man
and not a machine employed for purely COM
mercial purposes

THE Hon. W. D. Foulke, after going to the
trouble of fortifying himself with evidence
that postmasters had been suspended and re-
moved "for cause" and given no chance to
defend themselves against the assaults of un-
seen foes, has advised President Cleveland of
the infamous methods employed to secure the
BUSTING of Republicans, and respectfully
asked if some show of fair play could not be
had. The Presidents reply was that it was
the best that could be offered; that it would
be impossible for the Department to investi-
gate charges and allow defense The only
thing to be done was to hear charges and then
act on them! The gliding on this reform
pharisee is very thin. While making long
prayers in the shape of a message to Congress
he winks at masked assassins to get in
their work on such officials as they
want removed. Then these butchers of repu-
tation proceed with their Infamous commits
sion. Charges are preferred, replies forbidden,
and reform sustained. 1t is having the effect
of bringing to the front some of the most
despicable scoundrels outside the penitentiary.
Tattlers, sneaks or liars to man, they are
emboldened to boast of their services to the
party, and no undertaking is too dastardly to
be asked of them. Guaranteed immunity
from having to sustain their allegations,
nothing is too contemplate for them to put
forward as Charges" all knowing that the
dishonest conspiracy will not be shown up.
1t will yet develop that the President is a
party to if not the prime mover in this
spoils conspiracy, the members of which will
be deferred by no act within their
power, however infamous and dishonorable,
that will help them into office. To make a
hypocritical show of honoring the civil
service rules, Democrats have been found all
over the country mean enough to traduce
honorable men who for years have been their
friends and neighbors. Nor is it to be Won
dered at, for an attempt has been made to
make these covert and cowardly assaults re-
spectacle. The circular letter of Postmaster
general Villas, telling Democratic congress
men that all that was asked was charges; that
the charges need not be sustained, so that it
mattered not what was in them; and further,
by implication, that the President was cognizant
of the scheme, devised to kill the spirit of the
law while making show of obeying it to the
letter. If there could have been any doubt of
the Presidents knowledge Of this circular let
ter before it was sent out, it must have been
most thoroughly dispelled by the fact that he
had no word of criticism for it when it was
made public. With the President in the con-
spiracy, it is vain to hore that the simplest
justice will be accorded any Republican. The
only thing to do is to call attention to this
sum of political villainies and let the people
pass Judgment on its authors when next an
opportunity is given.
