On last Saturday the city of Lon
don, England, was startled by three
terrific explosions, in quick succession
and it was soon discovered that an at
tempt had been made to blow up the
Parliament Buildings, three charges
of dynamite having been exploded in
the Buildings. The interior of the
House of Commons was completely
wrecked, the Speakers Chair being
splintered slightly by the explosion.
Some twenty-five persons were injur-
ed, some Of them seriously. Two per-
sons-a man and woman-were ar
rested on suspicion. The only ques-
ton which should arise, in such csses
is to whether the right persons have
been arrested. That point settled
against the prisoners they should be
put out of the way as speedily as pos
sible. The dynamite fends are the
worst enemies of Ireland in existence.

CUES for his retention. When the

When so important question as
the occupancy Of the White House
comes up, through a change Of admin
istrations, natural curiosity is
aroused as to what the social atmos-
phere of the Presidential Mansion may
be. There is a strained eagerness to
learn all there may be to learn Of gos-
sip concerning the social sky of
Washington under the incoming order
of things. President Arthur, though
a widower, was happy in having a
sister, ''sweet little Mrs McElroy," to
take charge of the White House, and
grandly has the lady discharged her
duties. Mr.. Cleveland is unmarried
though he oughn't to be-and there is
of course a great deal Of unsatisfied
curiosity with regard to the future
mistress of the White House. The
new President is calling for advice
from his Democratic friends, and they
are nobly responding. He is thus be-
ing furnished with brains and states
manship by every mail. He has not
yet called for advice as to his domestic
affairs, but the Standard ever has an
eye to the public good, and lest some
Democratic friend may overlook or
neglect the matter, we wish to suggest
to our particular friend Grover Cleve-
land that there is one person in this
country, who, above all others, should
be chosen mistress. Of the White
House, as the appointment would
unite the Democracy, solidly. In
fact, the party we suggest is none
other than the step-mother of the
Democratic party-Jeff Davis. Jeff
would shine at State Receptions, clad
in that old waterproof and bonnet he
had on when Col. Pritchard's men
captured him, and holding that same
old bucket upon his arm, as an en-
blem of the willingness Of the Dem
ocracy to be drawers Of water for all
that was reasonable and horrible in
the Rebellion. Besides, Jeff's install
lation as mistress of the establishment
would not be the first time an old
granny had been placed in the White
House..

There is talk Of another saloon in
Jackson. We need a few more, if we
are going to travel bodily, bag and
baggage, ON the road to destruction.
There are yet few more young men
who have not been ruined. The tax
payers have yet little more money
to pay out for criminal prosecutions,
and the boys must have their fun.
There is a possible danger that under
the old regime the stream Of murder
and cussedness may become stagnant
pool, as it were, and something should
be done at once to enliven the human
slaughter-houses, and keep up the
Devils interest in the community.

No Change.

I have been the real editor Of the
Standard ever since the Fremont
campaign, in the summer of 1856.
Since the 9th of February, 1861, my
name has stood in the paper as editor,
and every issue of the Standard dur
ing the past twenty-four years has had
something in it that / have written.
During the past two or three years,
nearly all the editorials have been
written by my son, John Fl. Mackley.
It looks to me like sailing under false
pretenses to have my name standing
in the paper as its editor, when anoth-
er does the editorial work, and now,
at the close of the twenty-four years
of continuous work, | want to take
my name out as editor. [ hope to be
able to write some, but will do so as
other writer's, over my signature.
am we'll satisfied with the manner
in which the paper has been con-
Quoted, and its prosperity convinces
me that its patrons are also satisfied.
Look at the amount and quality Of its
editorials, and show it to your neigh
Dor.
I still own the establishment, and
will continue as publisher of the
Standard, and attend the business Of
the Office; so you see that in fact
there is no change.

The Democratic Congress has been
moving slowly, in fact permitting the
work to drag along, for the purpose,
it is charged, of making necessary the
calling of an extra session. This is
for the purpose of passing certain
needed measures under Cleveland's s
Administration instead of Arthur's.
Your Democratic statesman is even
looking aheaL to make himself solid
with the people. But the trouble is,
he does not look far enough ahead.
That old Democratic trick has been
played until it is threadbare. Every
body understands it. 1t is of piece
with the old trick Of cutting down ex-
penses under Democratic Administra-
tiuns, III differant States by refusing
to make necessary appropriations,
leaving the deficiencies for succeed
ing Administration to make up.

The old Liberty Bell'' has been
taken to New Orleans Exposition, and
Mast, in a recent number Of Harper's
Weekly, gives cartoon of the old
cracked bell, with a colored man upon
one side and Southern bull-dozer on
the other, as a picture Of that beauti-
full peace which prevails in the South,
Mast got the crack in the wrong place.
Had he aimed to give true picture,
he would have placed the crack in the
head of the colored man.

There seems to be no protection Tor
a truly good man in this sinful world.
In fact no degree of misery seems ad-
equate to quieting the tongue of SLAM
der, or checking the flow Of the stream
of persecution. Even the most fright
full calamity is all unavailing in call
ing up the sympathies of a cold world
like this. A story was gotten out
some time ago that our young friend
W. G.. Cooper, Of the Portsmouth
Times, had fallen. That is, he had
been guilty of conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman, and contrary
to the peace, quiet and good order of
the public peace Of the State Of Ohio.
In fact they did, apparently-at least
it is said to have looked so to man
up tree-catch him in a room at
night, with personal friend of his
who is a female. A great fuss was
raised about the matter, which so
weighed upon the mind Of our young
friend that he is said to have lost his
mind. This is the same young man
who wrote to us last fall that he would
not, or could not, tell lie, even in
the heat of a political discussion. To
drive so good man crazy by accusing
him of such horrible conduct as they
are charging him with is horrible al
most beyond the range of human i'm
agination. The traducers are trying
to make it appear that Cooper caught
the spirit of the candidate as we'll as
the campaign during the recent Presi-
Dental struggle. To make things
still more complicated and ineompre-
hensible, the recollection suddenly
pops up that there seems to be pre-
destination to insanity among Demo-
cratic editors. when caught in very
mean acts. They may not be crazy as
long as they are engaged in sinful
practices, but just as sure as they are
caught, the mind Immediately runs
off and hides, and reason goes off on a
tramp. But these reflections are dis
tressing-we will drop them.

All Right.

Since we said last week that o. S. Mil
Ter had not quit selling goods, he and his
assistants are again as busy as formerly.
This is dull season, and most merchants
think it is not necessary to advertise
until the opening of the spring trade;
but not so with Miller. He advertises all
the year round, and so has a fair trade all
the time. Do not forget this. AS we
have said so often, you can find anything
YOU want at Miller's.

William Neal is to be hung on the
9th of February, the death-warrant
having been signed by Governor
Knott, Of Kentucky. This execution
viii be the final scene in one of the
most extraordinary criminal cases on
record. Neal and two others, Ellis
and Craft, we're accused of numbering
the Gibbens children and setting fire
to the house. Ellis was hung by a
mob, Craft was legally strangled, and
now, after long and exciting series
of trials, Neal is to be executed. Craft
died protesting his innocence, and
Neal has maintained that he is inno-
cent. 1t was on account Of these
men that troops had to be ordered to
Ashland, and that mob fired on a
boat taking troops down the river,
causing the soldiers to return the fire
with fatal effect.

It is intimated that the sickness of
General Grant was largely caused by
excessive smoking. He first noticed a
strange soreness in his tongue which
soon developed into serious indispo-
sition. His physician cut down his
allowance to two or three cigars day,
but the General suddenly quit. This
calls to. mind several instances-one
Of them occurring at Colum bus, Ohio,
when men were the victims of cancer
in the tongue, and had to have the

smoking.

greatest error, fallen into by men sent
to represent the people in a State
Legislature, is the idea that they must
be doing something" The idea of
idling away the time is something
which the Legislator could not think,
of. His constituents expect some
thing of him. They want him to
make his mark, and as the principal
occupation of Legislators is to make
laws for the protection and happiness
of the people, he occupies his time
in drafting and introducing bills. At
each session of State Legislature,
great floods Of bills are introduced,
and the poor, overworked members
are almost broken down by wrestling
with them, and the most deplorable
part of it is that in many cases the
people would much rather the work
had been left undone. 1t seems never
yet to have occurred to member Of a
Legislature that, instead Of working
six hours day, and spending most of
that time in wrangling about some
thing, it would be better to transact
such business as there was imperative
need Of, and go home. The Illinois
Legislature has become perfect mem
agerie, and few days ago the acting
Speaker was compelled to apply to the
police for protection. Truly. this is
getting to be "a great country for a
great man."

There is a man at the Capitol, IN

years. He began this service under

When the war broke out, he ran the
old flag up to its place on the mast,
left it there, and marched to the front,
doing duty for his country. When
he came back the remnants Of the flag
were still visible. We may all marvel

more should he retain it any length
of time after the fourth Of next
March. There is said to be one thing
