THE KENTUCKY EDITOR.

The Kentucky editor is confiding individ-
ual who looks upon his newspaper connection
as sort Of family relation, and treats his
readers to details of his personal life in a
manner most touching in its simplicity. It is
hardly necessary to say that by the Kentucky
editor Mr. Henry Watterson is meant. If
there are other editors in Kentucky, no other
projects himself upon the public to the same
extent, and Mr.. Watterson may properly be
regarded as the chief representative, if not
the personifcation, of his profession in the
State. When Mr.. Watterson, therefore, re-
marks that an attack Of sore eyes suggested
his recent visit to Washington, oil Kentucky,
it may be believed, proceeds to wipe its optics
in fearful sympathy. He further states that
his eyes were sound after brief stay. Had
he been thoughtful enough to add that
a trip to the capital was good not only for sore
eyes but for Democratic soreheads his words
would undoubtedly have lifted q weight of
WOO from many souls with but q single
thought-that of getting Office. He did not
do this; but his account Of the manner in
which he examined and tested the admins
tration and found it purely and truly Demo
cratic is probably intended to effect the same
purpose. When he pronounces the President
to be "singularly lacking both in cynicism
and yacuity' his Kentucky constituents may
not gather his precise meaning, but they can
not fail to be impressed. A man who is
lacking in vacuity must have something
in him, and any doubts they may
have had in this regard will,
Of course, be set at rest. Miss Cleveland, also,
meets with the Kentucky editors approval,
particularly in respect to the same admirable
quality-a lack Of vacuity--which she pos
sesses in common With her brother. ANY

A MARYLANDER, who cards the admins
tration organ at Washington for the purpose
of indorsing Senator Eustis in his attack upon
the President, says, mournfully: cit is all
very well to talk Of civil-service reform,
which, when carried on in moderation, is per-
haps best, but it is extremely hard that when
the Democrats have worked so earnestly to
place their candidate in the executive position
that he should either ignorantly or willfully
neglect their interest" If the prevailing
Democratic sentiment could be better voiced
than this it is extremely hard to see how.

to crime is Infamous" then the crime is
infamous within the meaning of the Consti-
tuition. 1t is then held that in the case be-
fore them the sentence to imprisonment
with hard labor is infamous. Such sfnvol-
untary servitude' is the thing which the
thirteenth amendment abolished as slavery
except when endured for crime; and if human
slavery was Infamous then slavery for
crime is Infamous and the crime for which
1t is punishment is Infamous The con-
Guiding language of the court is:
Deciding nothing beyond what is required
by the facts of the case before u.s. our judg
ment is that a crime punishable by imprison-
ment for term of years at hard labor is an
infamous crime, within the meaning Of the
fifth amendment of the Constitution; and
that the district court, in holding the petit
toner to answer for such a crime, and sentenc-
ing him to such imprisonment, without in
dictment or presentment by grand jury, ex-
ceeded its Jurisdiction, and he is therefore en-
titled to be discharged"
This is the full scope of the decision in the
Michigan case In the Mackin and Gallagher
cases the defendants were not only
not sentenced to imprisonment with
hard labor" but the court has no
authority under the law under which
they were convicted to so sentence them. The
whole series of crimes in the chapter Of the
Revised Statutes under which they were pro-
ceeded against can be punished only with
fine and imprisonment, or both. The statutes
make the discrimination between the two
punishments. For instance: Section 5488 de-
fines certain crime, and says that the person
guilty of it "shall be punished by imprison-
ment with hard labor" etc. Section $3.50 de-
fines another crime, and says the person
guilty of it "shall be imprisoned not less than
six months nor moro than ten years." etc.
Here is clear distinction in the punishments;
and applying the reasoning and the
opinion in the Michigan case, the one is an
Infamous" crime, to be proceeded against
only by the grand jury, and the other crime
which may be prosecuted by information, as
was done in the Mackin and Gallagher cases.
It is by no means settled that the Supreme
Court has practically disposed of the cases Of
the convicted Chicago election rogues; on the
contrary, there is much sound reason to be-
lieve that under the Michigan rule their con-
viction will be held not to be repugnant to
the constitutional amendment and that very
soon the country will have the satisfaction Of
seeing these scoundrels behind the bars Of the
State prison.

suspicion entertained by the faithful that the
administration is unnecessarily slow in turn
ing over the offices to them is quieted if not
destroyed, by the rather remarkable assertion
that as there are dozen applicants for every
place, the President must take the risk Of
making one migrate and eleven enemies, and is
therefore compelled to be deliberate. This,
and much more equally convincing, is offered
in support of the claim that the adninistra-
ton is Democratic, and falls, no doubt, like
balm upon the Kentucky heart. The
disappointed and the doubling will
feed upon Mr.. Watterson's words
hungrily and though the effect may not
be lasting. another attack of sore eyes will
perhaps lead him to Washington to fortify
himself and them with redoubled assurances.
in time to prevent any possible outbreak. Mr..
Watterson, in short, is boon to Kentucky.
There he is appreciated, and his words, though
not understood are, perhaps for that reason,
regarded as the language of wisdom. But Mr..
Watterson's ambition should not overleap
itself Let him conine himself to his Old
Kentucky home Outside of that Common
wealth lis of no consequence whatever. 1t
may be sad, but it is true that north Of the
Ohio river the reading public does not care
rush whether Editor Watterson con-
siders the administration truly Demo
cratic or not. Neither is it in
terested in knowing his opinion in
regard to the Presidents reach Of brain.
The world at large may, out of pure human
ity, rejoice that the travelling editors sore
eyes are cured; but, having given him that
much attention, are not further concerned
about him. At all events, the public could
have waited, with much equanimity, the slow
movement of the mails, which would convey
to them his utterances through the columns
of his own paper. The whistling of the wires
over which they were carried was followed by
the groans of the readers who found his views
thrust upon them by telegraph, whether they
would OF no. The intoxication of having an
operator in his own Office has led Mr.. Waiter
son into the error Of believing that his
editorial remarks are satisfactory substitute
for news. He must learn to restrain himself,
