is THIS REFORM?

1t seems the petition for the pardon of Null
len, the Cincinnati police officer, sentenced
to jail for one year for locking up $50 negroes
on election day so that they could not vote,
was signed by such distinguished Democrats
as George Hoadley, governor of the State of
Ohio, William Caldwell, Surveyor of the
port OF Cincinnati, and G. w. Wooley John
X. Mclean of the Cincinnati Enquirer sent
personal appeal, and so did several other
prominent Democrats. The petitioners al
legged that they believed the act of Mullen
was perfectly justifable, and some of the
Democrats who wrote personal letters went
so far as to claim that Mr.. Mullen was con-
victed on perjured testimony The great
anxiety of the Cincinnati Democrats to get
Mullen out of jail is explained by the Gin
cinnati Commercial which says that he was
possessed of secrets which he threatened to
reveal, and which would compel some of the
aforesaid prominent Democrats to prompt
ly join the American criminal colony in Can
ada. As we supposed was the case Mullen
was the tool of bigger Democrats than he,
and had the President based his pardon on
this ground it might have been defensible.
But he did not place it on this ground.
Neither did he lplace it on the ground that
Mullen had been wrongfully convicted or that
his action was justifable, as had been alleged
in the petitions for his pardon To place it
on the first would be to admit that the Demo-
cratic leaders of Cincinnati had organized
conspiracy to prevent free ballot in his in
terests. To place it on the second would be
to fly in the face of the facts, for as Judge
Baxter said in sentencing Mullen ''the evil
dence of Mullen's guilt was so convincing
that his Jealous and able counsel voluntarily
yielded to its irresistible force, and with his
acquiescence manifested in open court, con
sented to the finding made by the jury"
So the President ignored these reasons and
sought one himself, and pardon was issued
on the ground that Mullen Inexperienced his
duty. Certainly no more absurd reason could
have been given for turning this rascal out
Mullen arrested one hundred and fifty inof-
fensive residents of Cincinnati, locked them
up and kept them in Jail whole day, and
when hewas sent to Jail for it, after substan-
tial confession on his part in open court, the
President charitably assume that he misap-
pretended his duty and let him out, in sea-
son to misapprehend his duty again at an
election soon to occur.
Joe Mackin, the Chicago ballot-box suffer
and perjurer, who is now on the high road to
the penitentiary, will undoubtedly be greatly
encouraged by the Presidents release of
Mullen, and so will numerous other Demo-
cratic strikers in thel large cities who have
been restrained somewhat by wholesome
fear of the law. 1t will be interpreted by
all of them to mean that crimes against the
ballot can be committed with impunity under
the present reform administration.

The endorsement the Chairman of the
Democratic State committee received from
the committee on Wednesday night was not
very red hot in its character. The commit
tee acquitted him of knowingly recommend
ing thief, something that he had never
been charged with, and cautioned him not to
made any more recommendations unless they
were joined in by the member of the com
mittee of the county in which the person rec
commended resided. Such an endorsement as
that, we fear, will not go very far towards
restoring his "infooence" at the postoffice
department..

The latest alleged discovery with regard to
the cause of cholera is that it results from
poisonous gases exhaled from the earth after
earthquakes. The proprietor of this theory
is Prof Mezzeroff Of dynamite notoriety,
who writes letter to the New Y ork Tribune
in support of it. The Professor cites many
facts which seem to support his theory, but
there are many which he does not cite which
seem to explode it. For instance, how does
it happen that cholera always RACES most
violently in dirty and densely populated
quarters of great cities, if its cause is a gas
evolved by earthquakes? Gas coming from
the earth would be quite as likely to affect
the resident of one part of city as the resi-
dent of another

The friends of Preller, the victim of the
st. Louis trunk murder, do not give any
credit whatever to MaxwelPs story that it
was not Prellers body that was found in the
trunk. They say their Identification of the
body was full and complete. The probabili-
ty is that Maxwell's story is an ingenious fic-
ton manufactured in the hope that it may
save his neck

Europe augments the danger of its importa-

number of places from which it may be
brought. The vigilance of our health au-

THE n. II. BREWER ON HIS EAR.
phiIadaInhia Raoord

Our old friend, Frank Jones of New
Hampshire, is the latest boss to get up on
his lofty ear because Mr.. Cleveland isn't APP
pointing politicians bearing his brand to i'm
portant Federal offices. He says that Sleeve
land will learn when Congress meets that he
does not own the county in fee simple, and
that the politicians who worked for his cleo
ton will have something to say about the
manner in which the administration should
be rum The trouble with Jones, even upon
his own theory, is that he and his politicians
did not work for Mr. Cleveland's election to
any appreciable extent, as his vote did not
reach the level of Hancock's.

The Bar Sinister. (New York: Cassell g.
Co; Portland: Loring, Short & HARMONY.
The Bar Sinister is termed by the author
"A Social Study" and is novel written in
the interests of reform. 1t deals with the
Mormon question, and is thrilling tale of
the evils, the temptations and the horrible
results, to women especially, of the plurality
of-wiveS system. One would hardly believe
that moral young man, devoted to his wife
and baby at home, and having them with
him in Salt Lake City while he establishes a
branch of his New York business there.
would so readily succumb to the Mormon
doctrines and practices. But possibly "fore-
warned is forearmed, and if the book does
no good it will certainly do no harm, and will
be found quite bright, well written land en-
tertaining. The name of the author is not
given.
The Maurice Mystery. By j. Esten Cook.
Struck Down By Hawley Smart New
York: D. Appleton & Co.. Portland :Hoyt.
Fogg & Donham.) These two novels are the
latest numbers of D. Appleton & Company's
new twenty-five cent series of novels. Both
belong rather to the class of Detective Sto-
ries, for which just now the reading public
seems to have an unfailing and voracious APP
petite. In these two novels each has plot
which turns upon the crime of murder, and
in both cases the criminals are duly found
out,iand one commits suicide, while the 9TH
er suffers the full penalty of the law These
stories are fairly interesting, and quite equal
to the average works of their class.
