Political Points.

Il
coming home. Mr.. Komaroff is said tc
be very deeply hurt by the humiliation
which the English have put upon him.
Chicago Evening Mail: He'll is dis
missed from the revised old testament
and the Hebrew sheol is substituted
throughout. This is bad. What sort
of satisfaction will man derive by tell.
ing his brother to go to sheol? 8A
Madison State Journal: 1t has been
discovered that the reservoir from which
Richmond, Va, obtains its water sup
| ply is being contaminated by small
lpox hospital on one side and a small
pox cemetery on the other. In addition
to this, the bodies of suicides and the
victims of murderers are frequently
picked out of the pond. Richmond
people are said to seldom drink any
thing SO thin as water and to scarcely
ever battle, SO that the condition of the
reservoir does not at all alarm them,
and the newspapers there have made a
flat failure in trying to work up SEN
sation over it.
Chicago Herald: The meanest thing
done this year was the adoption of the
Peace Society in London of a resolution
censuring Mr.. Gladstone. If he does
not deserve the good will of the Quakers
he is in bad shape for politician.
Milwaukee Sentinel: The Mugwump
journals find that, while the president
is good and pure and a true reformer,
he has lot of wicked partners who are
making all the trouble. Manning is q
very bad man, and Bayard has made
lot of blunders, and Commissioner
Black is wicked, and Col. Villas is from
Bitter creek. The president remains
good, but he is compelled to make the
appointments all these bad men want.
Lincoln (Neb.) Democrat: The DEM
ocratic administration is going to run
the machine to suit the people first, the
Democratic party next, and the Repub-
lican party last.
ChicagoEvening Journal: Carl Schurz
has written pamphlet on "The New
South" 1t may have appeared new to
Mr.. Schurz, but, if it should be caught
when not fixed up and expecting COM
pany. it would be found to be the same
old South.
Inter Ocean: Secretary of War Eudi-
colt is bound for Fort Leaven worth,
Kansas, to inspect the military prison
at that point. He has never been as
far west as Chicago before. 1t is pity
that he didn't bring along few of his
associates in the cabinet. There is
evidently confused idea of what the
west really is in the minds of his col
legues, which nothing but visit out
this way will thoroughly clear up.
Inter Ocean: The law of Ohio now
requires all criminals condemned to
be executed in the penitentiary at Col
umbus. The people of Columbus do
not fancy the distinction conferred upon
them, in view of the large number in
Ohio that deserve hanging. The first
convict has just arrived there to initiate
the law.
Chicago Evening Mall. The Wis
consin State Historical Society has pur-
chased of w. v. Webster, of Oshkosh,
an interesting collection of 200 articles
of Indian dress, ornaments, war imple-
ments, etc, and placed them on exhi-
bition in the art gallery of the capitol
at Madison. The nucleus of this col
lection was formed by Governor Doty
while he was among the aborigines of
the state.
Baraboo Republic (Rep): Ere
moved from Cause is the Democratic
reforms shibboleth. Why don't the
administration at Washington be honest
with itself, and say that the Republican
oflice-holders are removed to make
place for its friends.
Fon du Lac Journal (Dem.): When
the Democrats cast the ballots last fall
they cast to win not the presidency a.
lone, but all the power that office can
honestlyand honorably secure to party.
There is no use in mincing this matter.
The present administration is Demo-
-, 4
and will get what they so gallantly
fought for-all, from high to low, with
in the gift of that administration. A
clean sweep should be made, and it is
silly and simple for Republicans to think
that they will be allowed to repose on
their beds of down much longer. Go
they should and go they will.
