WHY PEACE REIGNS IN MISSISSIPPI.
Cincinnati Commercials Gazette
One murder has more political influence
now in Mississippi than could be extracted
from wholesale massacre few years ago.
This is the quiet we are told represents har-
mony. This is the Democratic calm that we
are assured it would be unpatriotic to dis
turb.
WHAT WE DON'T KNOW.
Minneapolis Tribune.
Mrs. Caroline n. Dali is about to publish
book What We Actually Know About
ShakSpere." Ii she puts nothing in her book
but what we actually know, she will in the
first place have to omit any mention of the
dramatist's name. For it is quite certain
that one Of the things which the world does
not know is how to spell that name.
VIRTUE ON THE PENoBscoT.
Bangor Commercial.
The locks and keys at our police station
are gathering rust, the nimble spider wecv-
eth his web undisturbed and the dust thick

cells, and the entry books show that no hui

Since the telegraph announced the appoint
ment of Mr.. Lemuel B. Fowler to the Angus
ia postoffice we have been watching the re-
ports with a good deal of anxiety, expecting
any moment to hear that the new postmaster
had been waited upon by delegation of
Democrats, headed by that staunch old vet
eran Bourbon, Ex-Gov. Plaisted, and warned
to decline the position or prepare to remove
from the State. No such report has yet
reached us. We have scanned the face of
the moon, expecting to find blood thereon, as
we had been frequently assured by the as
tronomers of the Democratic press that such
a phenomenon would be one result of the
appointment of anybody but Col Morton,
but the goddess of the night has looked as
serene as ever, and there has been nothing
upon her countenance to indicate that any
thing startling had taken place in the world
which she looks down upon. We have
carefully examined the columns of the Bos-
ton Post, expecting to find a double loaded
editorial in red ink breathing out threaten
ings and slaughter against the head of the
administration for yielding to the wishes of
Mr.. Blaine and the Maine Senator'S But we
have found nothing there that suggested
gore. Finally we have placed our ear to the
telephone expecting to hear a frightful roar
ing in the New Age office, but nothing came
of it. If the Gagged lion of the New Age has
been roaring at all he has been roaring as
gently as sucking dove. Yet for months
past all the prophets of the Maine Democracy
have been foretelling dire catastrophe on the
day, should it ever come, that the telegraph
brought the news of the appointment of any
other than Charley" Morton as postmaster
at Augusta. The day has come, but the
catastrophe has been postponed.

The New York Post, the ablest of the
Mugwump journals, seems to be caught in a
very bad case of forgetfulness. When Mr.
Beattie was appointed Surveyor of New
qualifications necessary to make him a yalu-
able officer" A day or two ago, discussing
the appointment of Sterling, it described
Beattie as zone of the smart, brassy youths
whom New York politics is constantly bring
ing to the surface, who are always ready to
do dirty work from which older and more
conspicuous hands shrink"

have ever been put to the ordeal of en-
during 80 severe a strain as has fallen to
the lot Of President Cleveland since
March 4. His splendid physique has en-
abled him to stand an amount of labor
that would have completely Frustrated a
less vigorous and robust constitution.
The President is a hard and incessant
worker, and is, withal, so careful of the
public interest that he has taken upon
himself q vast amount of detail that
might as well as not have been left to
others. But he is no shirker, and it is one
OF his rules to be personally informed of
everything requiring executive action.
For five months he has been at his desk
regularly each morning at nine, and for
much OF the time he has remained on
duty until IL o'clock at night. Hehas also
impaired something Of his prompt hard
working business habits to every branch
OF the Government. Drones are not
wanted in this Administration. Every
person connected with it is expected to

REL TO HANG.

Riel, the half breed revolutionist, has
been found guilty of murder. The jury
finding this verdict recommended him to
mercy. The Judge. who pronounced the
sentence of death, stated from the bench
that he had little hope that Her Majesty
would heed the appeal of the jury. Riel
spoke two hours in his W behalf. The
account says he was cool and unmoved
while the sentence was being passed.
Everything indicates that he is doomed
to die On the scaffold. But he will not
be without sympathy from all who hate
oppression and the oppressor.

FIJI EASTERN NULLIrIERs.

No person, or any number OF persons,
should be allowed to nullify or set at
defiance any law of the United States.
And yet this is precisely what the anti
silver men of the East are doing with the
most perfect IMMUNITY. Commenting on
this view Of the contest the Mining Re-
view pertinently remarks that the strange
spectacle is presented OF the Govern
ment officials of a great Government, in
reality the servants of the people, for
petful of their duties and obligations to
those by whom they are chosen and paid
to serve, consenting to depress the bust
ness activity of the whole country; to
intensity the stagnation of productive in.
dustries, paralyze the prosperity and
threaten the security of the whole nation
in their efforts to serve a small class OF
inanciers and to benefit a local faction
of Eastern capitalists at the expense OF
the whole people. The people of the
United States, by the highest authority
of the Government, declared through its
national legislators that a designated
coinage of silver should be taken and &C.
cepted as a legal tender for n dollar.
The syndicate of New York bankers has
practically and utterly ignored this fact
and has declared that in all transactions
it would be treated by them as a danger
Gus element, and practically as if it had
no currency value. In fact, they have
assumed to dictate what shall and what
shall not be a national currency notwith-
standing their dictations are contrary to
and in defiance of the expressed voice of
the people through their legal representa-.
tives in Congress. Instead of UNFOLDING
the dignity and honor of the nation,
whose dictates and laws are thus ignored
and treated with contempt, the Govern
ment officials not only acquiesce in this
decision OF the Bankers Association, but
also form a copartnership with the New
York Clearing-housefor the very purpose
of defeating national legislation and the
expressed will of the people. In regard
to the results concerning silver coinage
we confess that the aspect presents
alarming features when such positions
are assumed by a class of citizens, and
the case takes on graver Importance
when the Government officials consent to
prostitute their high trust and positions
to assist in violating the laws they are
sworn to protect; and also the more
somber aspect and dangerous position of
the affair is presented when the people
of the entire nation calmly consent to
such dangerous and threatening proceed
ing without indignant protest and i'm
peratively demanding an obedience to
established laws both from citizens and
from the public servants who have been
placed in positions of trust and RESPONSE.
