DEMOCRATIC EXAMPLE,

The Share of Community In Tempting Men
Who Would Otherwise Remain Honest,
New York Tribune.
When man of honored name is arrested for
crime the community is apt to disregard its
own share in the matter. It looks upon his al
legged offense with indignant horror, and wonders
how any such man ever could have been tempt
ed to such misconduct. The arrest Of General
Shaler has evoked many such comments People
who are prone to think the worst of all public
men, as well as those who are disposed to think
best OF him, unite in species of incense offering
to the offended virtue of the community. All
think it proper to imply that for such man
there is no temptation to crime, and no excuse.
There will be less when the country begins as
a rule to punish its criminals, instead of sup.
porting them for high places of honor and trust
as Democratic reformers. Senator German will
be returned in Maryland, it is said and will re-
tain his powerful influence with a reform admin
istration. Yet no one really doubts that the
grave charges made by influential and respon-
slble men in his own party in Maryland are
strictly true. If man like German is so honor
&C. and has power with a reform administration,
why should General Shaler be arrested Mr..
Iilden has been treated by his party as rare
omoination of sage and saint in spite of the
disclosures made by cipher kilograms. What
sort OF example is that to set men in high places
or low2 Senator Barnun, of Connecticut, it is
said, Is getting ready to buy seat in the Senate

ruption funds-his buying 'seven more mules"in
Indiana-will do him any harm. If Tilden and
Barnum are distinguished patriots, what is the
sense in arresting Shalera A senatorshp from
Ohio has been bought and another is in danger
of being snatched by bribery if Democratic cor

IT is the Republican party which can be de-
pended on to blunder now at almost every

In one of Sam Jones's alleged Sermons"
he says, as stated in the st. Louis report:

countenanced and backed up by men who
have the VOWS Of the Christian ministry and
of the church upon them, is an enigma to U.S.

Christian sentiment, and must, in the nature

THE removal of Mr.. Hendricks from the
political field gives Gen. Logan chance Of
receiving further honors at the hands of his
associates and this possibility is spoken of by
his opponents as "I4ogan's luck" The same
event relieves Mr.. Cleveland of an opposing
element in his administration, and the writers
who refer spitefully to Logan allude respect
fully to Cleveland Gas a man Of destiny" and
comment in sycophantic way about the ad-
visibility of not crossing his path. 1t is
hardly likely that death is pointing his arrows
with any reference to American politics, and
if he is it is hardly worth while to speculate
upon the matter since even "a man Of des-
tiny" is an uncertain quantity, and his reign
brief in this country. Just as mans '1uck'
comes to be counted on some unexpected visi-
tation of Providence is sure to upset it and
destroy all calculations. Another than Cleve-
land or Logan may be the man Of destiny by
this time next year.

IT is almost too good to believe, but the
Wisconsin Central railroad promises reform
that will eventually draw all the through pas
senger traffic from New York to Galveston
over that line. 1t proposes oabolish the sys-
tenn of tips to sleeping-car porters, paying its
employees $50 month instead of the ruling
$40, and requiring them to perform full serv-
ice as now, without compensation from pas
sengers, under pain of discharge. This is a
reform that will be appreciated The custom
Of feeling servants is vicious and un-American.

THE Liberals vote strongly in the counties
of England. Like this country the strength
of liberalism and popular government lies in
the rural districts. The returns from the
counties indicate the probability that the Lib
erals will, after all, have clear though very
small majority over the Tories and Parnellites
combined. But whatever the result the ma
jority will be SO small as to be indecisive, and
the new Parliament will, in the nature of the
case, be both imbecile and short-lived.

A RECENT traveller in Spain tells how the childre
in Grenada played at bullfghting. One boy holding
pair of wooden horns his head. represented the
bull Other boys mounted each others backs,
picadors while others again, with their jackets
in their hands, were supposed to be matadors and
chulos. The bull would stamp his feet and roar then
make rush at of the chulos, whose jacket was
thrown up by the wooden horns, but whose body was
never touched. Then the bull would charge one of
the picadors whereupon the boy playing horse would
throw himself to the ground and allow himself to be
properly gored.

excerpt from General Grants book reads

AN excerpt from General Grants book reads
as follows:
''There is little doubt in my mind now that
the prevailing sentiment Of the South would
have been opposed to secession in 1860 and
1861, if there had been fair and calm ex
preston of opinion. unbiased by threats, and
if the ballot of one legal voter had counted
for as much as that of any other"
Exactly the same may, with equal truth,
be said Of the sectional South to-day. If
if the ballot of one legal voter counted for as
much as that of any other, there would be no
solid South, but a free and equal part of the
country, in perfect harmony with all the other
parts.

A physician known on both sides of the Allan

ant for longer period than any other, and who
has received the highest honors awarded in the
profession, states some facts which will make
the doctors certain that Mr.. Hendricks did not
die of heart paralysis, stated by Indianapolis
reports. The physician states that several years
ago Mr.. Hendricks was stricken with paralysis
while playing whist at Hot Springs, one side, in
cluding his face, being affected From this he
never fully recovered. His father having died
from degenerated blood vessels, the most rational
explanation of the paralysis is that an artery Of
the brain burst. In couple of years he was at
tackled with senile gangrene of the toe. disease
caused by degenerate blood-vessels After his
toe soughed off he recovered Later he dies
