JONES, of Binghamton, Lieutenant gov
ernor elect of New York, was assessed So, 900
for campaign expenses. Now that the election
is over he sees no reason why he should pay
st, and he doesn't pay it, but smiles sardon-
ically when the bill is presented. The con.
vention thought it was doing Jones an honor,
but that individual evidently believes the
honor of having him on the ticket was enough,
and that he owes them nothing after giving
the use of his name.

The Boston Herald remarks, with great Sc
robustness, for the seven hundredth time or so,
that the mugwumps do not want Office. This
announcement, under existing circumstances
is superfuous, inasmuch as the mugwumps
are no longer likely to get Office if they do
want it, What the curious public would like
to have explained, however, is what now APP
pears to be singular inconsistency in the
advertised policy of these self-constituted
guardians of their country. If, as they init
mate, all political wisdom is concentrated
within their ranks, and is likely to die with
them, by what argument do they persuade
themselves that they should not seek for
office? Why should the country be left to
offensive partisans and deprived of their emf
nent services? Why since they know so
well how the government affairs should be
conducted, do they not demand that they be
allowed to administer as we'll as to adviser
These are mysteries which no mngwump has
yet cleared up, but now that there is slight
lull in politics, perhaps they will kindly do so.

selves to the young lady, declined to give way.
She had passed a good examination, had re-
ceived certificate of admission, the law of
the school did not forbid the entrance of a
woman, and they could not consistently for
bid her to come. A stormy debate finally
ended by compromise, which permits the
daring female" to remain but does not
allow her name to appear in the catalogue.
There is also an understanding that no other
girls need apply, but it is more than likely

AFTER having devoted itself for some
months to distant and unavailing contem-
plation of the government loaves and fishes
the Atlanta Constitution returns to its now
somewhat stale mutton, and again urges
Northern capitalists to make investments in
the South. For reasons which it would really
be unkind to repeat to the Constitution.
Northern capital seems little more inclined to
flow Southwark than formerly, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the advent of Democratic
administration has, in the words of the or
gans, given assurance of peace and prosperity
in all the States.

HUMAN nature is much the same the world
over. After the Germans evacuated Paris,
and the people settled the little dispute with
the Communists, the city at once went back
to its wonted gayeties When the yellow fever
had finished its dreadful work at Memphis,
the people laid aside their mourning habits
and donned the livery and masque of Mardi
Gras. And now Montreal is beginning to de-
plore the fact that the preva-
lence of smallpox there may
interfere with the carnival this winter Thou
sands of people have persisted miserably by
reason of a loathsome plague, but the surviv-
ors turn again to pleasure as naturally and
promptly as though dreadful epidemic were
an everyday experience. 1t was a benefcent
providence that enabled humanity to recover
from the awful grief attendant upon the death
of loved ones; but humanity has improved on
this, as in many other things, and don't allow
wholesale death to interfere with business or
pleasure

AT the annual meeting of the Evangelical
Alliance of Cincinnati, held ON Monday, a
number Of papers were read upon the exist
ing condition of public and political affairs in
that city. Among others was one by Rev.
DR.. Hickman, of Avondale, formerly Of In
dianapolis, in which the causes of the pre-
vailing Generalization were boldly and clearly
set forth. Among other things, the Doctor
said:
with the government of the city in the
hands OF thieves, the majority of municipal
officers without patriotism and even sinking
the pride and vanity of office in the mad lust
for money, secured by spelling industry, en-
terprise, even philanthropy and benevoleuce,
what can you expect9 All legitimate business
is enormously tasked by these political
thugs, the protectors of the peace are
openly appointed from the criminal classes, and
every enterprise and improvement which needs
civil authorization must be abandoned or sue
osfTnb to the bribery of the men in power.
Democratic rights and republican institutions
are farce in the eyes of these strangers, who
scorn our American traditions and civilization.
What is the political remedy9 The throwing
aside, as weak, and unpatriotic, and unchris
tian, partisan prejudices, and the combination
of all the better elements and permanent in
terests of the city, native and foreign, in the
overthrow of their vile and oppressive govern
ment"
These are strong and startling words, and
yet no one will say that they are not amply
justified. If things continue to go on from
bad to worse in indianapolis, no one shall be
able to tell when the like state
ments may not be true of our own city If
ballot thieves and ballot box smashers can COM
NIT their crimes and outrages with impunity;
if ''Sim" Coy and his gang continue to control;
if the Liquor League shall be allowed to per-
sist in its offensive and arrogant domination;
if partisan scoundrels can violate law and order
to secure the control Of the Council boards
if any or all of these things can be done with
absolute immunity from punishment, or even
popular Indignation, it is not hard to see that
in the ear future Indianapolis will rank side
by side with Cincinnati in its most abiect
degradation. Every interest of society, every
consideration of business, demands that the
law shall be enforced, crime punished, outrage
rebuked, and justice and decency enthroned
in the conduct of our municipal affairs. The
failure of the grand jury to indct the alleged
ballot thieves and ballot-box smashers is a
serious blow to the welfare of Indianapolis.

OUR city columns record the fact that the
voted against returning an Indictment in the
cases of Sterling r. Holt the ballot-box
smasher, and of Smith, the Eighteenth ward
judge, who, it is alleged, had something to do
with the mysterious disappearance of the bal
lots in one of the precincts of Mr.. s'Sim" Coys
private bailiwick. One of these men is Dem
ocrat and the other is a nominal Republican;
yet the Republican members of the jury ia
vored indicting both of them for violations of
the election law, while the Democratic mem
bers voted in the negative. 1t cannot be pre-
sumed that the Democrats voted to shield the
Republican, Smith, from high and holy non
partisan motives, when his own party friends
were favorable to his arraignment. There is
but one of two explanations that seem
at all reasonable. One is that the Democrats
were determined that Holt should not
be indicted and. therefore, were willing to
let Smith 60, too, to escape the charge Of
partisanship in their action or else the trial
Of Smith in a court of justice would uncover
some Democratic rascality that had better be
kept from the public gaze We incline to the
latter supposition, from all the circumstances
surrounding the case We believe the Demo
Gratis do not dare bring Smith to trial.
This result is shameful and disheartening.
One ballot box has been stolen in this city;
the courthouse has been broken open by
burglars and the ballots scattered and stolen;
the ballots of a whole precinct have been
made away with; and, finally, ballot box has
been smashed in with Ratchet, in defiance
of law and in contempt of the authority of the
court None of these scoundrelisms has
been punished. Is it to be expected
that crimes and outrages like these can
be perpetrated, and no one punished for them,
without the gravest danger9 The Democratic
members of the grand jury have not measured
up to their duty nor to the Importance Of
the charge given to them by Judge Norton
when they.convened on the LIST of the month.
1t is to be hoped that the next jury may be
composed of men who will not gauge their
duty by their partisan feelings.

THE Louisiana Board of Pardons has re.
fused to grant communication Of the death
sentence pronounced upon Pat Ford and John
Murphy, murderers of Captain Murphy in
the streets of New Orleans in broad day. A
petition in their behalf bearing $500 names
was presented, but its influence was counter
acted by a similar petition, prepared by a COM
mittee of one hundred interested in the en-
forcement of law and the preservation Of
order. Unless the Governor interferes which
is not probable, they win be hanged on Fri
day next. The three other murderers of Muir
ply, Judge Ford, w. FL. Buckley and w. E.
Caulfeld, are serving twenty years in the

as brutal and unwarranted assassination, and
