The Journals SoundneSs.

We shall be pardoned for printing a letter
from woman Of unusual mental endowments
and whose history and character carry weight
with her words, Possibly the letter was in
tended to be private, but, aside from the com
plments to the Journal, it contains sentiments
that will find echo in the heart and mind of
every honest thinker. The writer is resident
of Indiana:
What / say to you concerning the paper is no
formal compliment, but exactly the opinion as
expressed to others. The reputation of the
Journal is dignifed and patriotic. Away back
in 1876, during that terrible crisis when the
destiny of a nation trembled in the balance, the
voice of the Journal was ever heard on the side
of right Its tone was rich and mellow with the
ring of pure gold, strangely in contrast with
that of the Courier Journal, with its trumpet of
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal had a
good opportunity to compare notes, for was
spending that winter in Kentucky.
Again. during the days of awful suspense
which followed our recent election, the Journals
position was the same-loyaJy to country and
submission to the will of the majority above
every other thought Great heavens! Il speak it
reverently) what disgrace to our Nation when
Grover Cleveland brought down the scales and
James g. Blaine lost to the country /
think even the better class of Democrats must
feel the humiliation when they look the Two men
fairly and squarely in the face
Then, too. treason is making itself so much
at homo since this glorious t2) victory Please
do not think me uncharitable. l try so hard to
bear in mind the greatest of these is charity,
but cannot tolerate this effort to break down
the middle wall or partition between
treason and loyalty Shame! shame! on the
spectacle of jeff Davis gushing over the old
Liberty Bell. wonder the old bell-poor thing
did not rise mp and resent the insult by crack
/ ing itself all to pieces. Your suggestion to now
take il to the grave OF BenedictAr was good.

THE greed Of New York merchants is pro-
opments which show sel6shness altogether
phenomenal. For years it has been charged
that under valuation has been the rule in the
New York custcm-house, the effect of which,
of course, would be to allow their merchants
to sell the imported goods cheaper than in
other cities, where the valuations are honestly
made Chicago particularly has complained
Of this injustice, but thus far there has been
no remedy, rs the New York custom house
officials seem to be supreme. Then, again,
the New York members of the National
Board of Trade-an organization comprising
twenty four old grandmothers, who assumed

three tailors of Tooley street did for the people

Of which would DO exclusively to East
ern shippers, and they would not permit an
amendment to admit Western shippers to
the proposed benefit, although they consented
to another resolution on behalf of the Western
folks. The last demonstration of this selfish
ness is movement in the New York Chamber
of Commerce to abolish the system of inland
transportation, by which goods may be inn
ported at seaport and transported direct to
an inland city, and there entered at the local
custom houses, as an injustice TO seaport
merchants and injurious to fAe ressnme.

THE bill of Representative Floyd LII r.
ALI, which provides for the designation by the
Governor, and Secretary and Treasurer of State,
of certain repositories for the safe keeping of
the public funds, was at first received with
favor, and was to have been reported from the
ways and means committee, with the recon-
mendation that it pass; but after this agree
mont had been tacitly reached, the Democrats
began to fear that under the provisions of the
bill there might be an investigation into the
condition of the State Treasury, or at least,
that the real facts might be made known
When this became even probability the re-
port upon the bill was not made. as at first ex-
pected, but the Democratic members will op-
pose its passage, in harmony with tho deter
mination of the majority in the Legislature
that under no circumstances, and by no means,
shall the actual condition of the Treasury be
discovered to the public. The pertinacity
shown by the Democrats to keep the lid on the
Treasury as tightly as possible, is remarkable,
and can but deepen the serious suspicion and
apprehension already rife in the public mind

GOOD WORK OF GOOD o1TIzgNs,u

The conviction of Mackin, Gallagher and
Gleason, at Chicago, next to the conviction of
the notorious "Boss" Tweed, is one of the
greatest triumphs of justice in the history of
the country. Mackin, like Tweed, aspired to
be boss in municipal politics, and when ar
rested, the latter, like his great prototype,
sneered at the idea of conviction. "What are
you going to do about it?' was Tweed's defiant
query. 'Just wait and see,' was Mackin's
sheer when it was suggested that he was in
tight place Each of these bold scoundrels-
should be sent to the penitentiary,
with even more certainty than though
they were burglars or footpads. The
ordinary thiefs offense is against the in
dividual. That of Mackin and his tools was
against the interest of every citizen of the
Nation. The man who willfully and criminally
hampers with the ballotbo to change the
lawful result Of elections is the enemy, not
only of public institutions, but of every man
who believes that the majority should rule
and that law should be respected. Boss
Tweed manipulated elections and marshaled
educated thieves by battalions. Had he sue
ceeded in perpetuating his reign, in defiance Of
law, he and his fellow scoundrels would
have plunged the city into deep
er debts than have already been
contracted His hands were against every
honest man in the metropolis. At the head of
a university Of thieves, his influence was a
menace to the very integrity of municipal gov
eminent. While Maclin did not reach so wide
an influence, so far us those under him were
concerned, his ambition was even greater than
that of the New York Boss Tweed contented
himself with stealing millions; Mackin pro-
posed TO steal the suffrages of the people for
the purpose Of advancing his own rascally in
terests. BY stealing a seat in Congress for
another man; by changing the ballots, days
after the election, in order to send to the State
Legislature a man not elected thereto, and
thereby elect to the United States Senate
man of his making, what might he not have
hoped for in event of success? 1t would have
given him power for evil in Chicago and in
Illinois that thousand honest citizens could
not have counteracted. The men of Chicago
who united to bring this fellow to punishment
have done we'll to secure his conviction. In
dications are that they will follow up the APP
peal taken by his attorneys and see to it that
he is lodged in the penitentiary. Good citi-
zens everywhere will unite in congratulating
those who have accomplished this victory.
