Wickcdness in Washington.

The New York Herald's Washington
correspondent telcgraphed his paper, ''the
fact that the President has resumed church.
going will largely increase the number of
the congregation.
Thereupon the pious soul Of Editor Dana
was iTeslstibly moved to cry out:
The fair inference is that people in Wash
ington go to church not to worship God but to
see Grover Cleveland. As one of the most sue.
cessful men of his day and generation. Mr..
Cleveland is well worth seeing; but churches
are places In which the Deity should be wor.
shiIod, and not man.
"Peoplc in Washington''-those who re-
side here-are so accustomed to see Presl-
dents, Vice Presidents, senators, Supreme
Court judges, foreign ministers, and officers
of the army and navy In full harness that
they would scarcely turn their heads to
gaze on any or all of those.
But II happens that there are numerous
strangers in Washington on almost any
Sunday, many of whom desire to see the
President. These naturally find their way
to the church which he attends.
Such conduct Oh the part of these curious
persons would doubtless be deemed very
sinful in so holy a city as New York, but
in wicked Washington It passes unrebulied.

The sixth district OF Georgia contains,
according to the United States census,
1891 white and Is, 100 colored men ot vot-
ing age, yet Mr.. j. II. Blount, Democrat,
was elected to Congress IN 1889 by 3,5ls
votes. There was no suppression Of the
vote, though in 1872 the counties IN this
district gave G, 1876 votes for the Republican
candidate for governor.
In 1850 the counties of the sixth
congressional district Of Alabama con
tanned 115T9 white and 2i,i9j col
orcd men of voting age. In 1882
the Democratic candidate for Congress re-
ceived 6,402 votes, the Republican can1i-
date 2,I06. No votes were suppressed then,
though in the eighth Alabama district, ad-
joining, where there are 2i,256 white and
106S5 colored men, the vote was 23,573
In 1850 the counties composing the fourth
Alabama congressional district contained
$500 white and 23,5i0 colorod men Of voting
age. In 1882 the Republican candidate
for Congress received 1910 votes and the
Democratic candidate II ,26S. No votes were
suppressed then.
The counties composing the first congress
sional district of Alabama contained, In
1870, 11,lS7 white AMI l209l colored men
of voting age. In 1876 there was polled or
counted for the Democratic candidate 10,-
5s2 votes, and for the Republican candidate
2,132. In 1880 these same counties con-
tained 1890 white and 1897 colored men
Of voting age, and 7,s9s Republican votes
were pollcd for governor. There was no
suppression Of the votes then of course.
The third congressional district OF
Georgia, in 1880, contained 12,1O0 white
and 14,674 colored men of voting age. In
1873 Phil. Cook, Democrat, was elected to
Congress by 2,G2s votes and in 1882 the
Republican candidate received 800 votes TO
4,13l for Col. Crisp, Democratic candidate,
though in 1870 this district polled 1215O
votes for the Republican candidates. Evil
IDENTIFY there is no suppression of the vote
there.

Hill,s Democratic Mny.

David b. Hi is, at this time, governor of
the Empire state, and yet he leaves the
capital to engage in hunt for a man to
take the place vacated by Flower, and is
taking an active part In the work of organ
izing the party for the canvass.
The New York Times thinks that 'the
widely different opinions of the dignitlcs
and propricties Of the gubernatorial office
entertained by David B. Hill and Grover
Cleveland as shown by the sharp contrast
in their behavior under the temptations of
candidacy for Office, will not escape the
notice of Democratic voters who are just
now carefully comparing the characters
and policies of the two men,"
Is there any considerable number OF
Democrats who have respect for the sense
Of propriety shown by Mr.. Cleveland? Is
not the coarse-grained, brassy Hill more
fairly representative of his party than Mr.
Cleveland? If all the Mugwumps get Out
of the Democratic camp, will 1t contain an.
other man, or more than one, besides the
President who cares plcayune for civil
service reform?
These questions are asked in good faith
So far as our knowledge of public men ex
tends there are but two civil service re
formers among the prominent Democrats
One Of these is in the white house, the other
in the Berlin mission.

lcrtd that President and Mrs. Hayes and

REFERRING to the nomination of Hill, the
New York Herald says; "If the Democratic
party, after being washed and made clean
in 1894, chooses In 1885 to return to its
spew, there is disposition in the country
to leave 1t there hereafter" The cleaning
Of 'si was delusivc-merely thin coating
Of Mugwump whitewash.

IRELAND does not propose to secede, but
demands legislature of her own. And she
intends to get what she wants by lawful
means. Americans give no just cause of
complaint when they subscribe to the Par
nell parliamentary fund. Even If Ireland
were in open, armed rebellion, Americans
could give her aid and comfort quite as con-
sistently as Engllshmen subscribed to the
confederate cotton loan.

Dense Ignorance is responsible forthe
Montreal riot. The French Canadians are
not naturally bad lot, but their intellect
nal caliber is small, and has been little im-
proved by education. They do not realize
the advantages of vaccination, and have
little conception Of the extent to which
authority may be properly exercised by n
government in cases of epidemic diseases.
