ANOTHER of the mob that murdered Muir
ply in the streets Of New Orleans has made a
confession of participation, and will be tried
and convicted. The work done in running
these fellows to earth and securing their con-
viction, so that two were hanged and three
sentenced to twenty years each in the peni-
Tertiary, has been of vast good to the city, and
has relieved it of gang of shoulder hitters
and election-fxer that long controlled affairs
there to the harm of the city. Of those who
perjured themselves in order to save their
bosses, eight are now in the States prison,
serving terms of from five to ten years 1t is
doubtful if more complete victory was ever
won for law and order under such disadvanta-
geous circumstances. The greatest credit is
due the officers of the law and District Attor-
umph over organized violators of the, law.
They had come to think that they could 3do
practically as they pleased and escape respon-
sibility, for the law had not been enforced for
50 long against men of their imagined inn
portance that they reasoned they would have
little difficulty in getting clear of the charge
of having murdered their victim, though the
crime was committed in broad daylight and in
one of the principal streets of the city. The
people of New Orleans will appreciate the adj
vantage of enforcing the law, and it is not at
all probable that there will be anything like
tie defiance of legal restrictions that so long
characterized that place.

remains now only one thing to be done to
make this verdict one that will inure to the
lasting good of all the people, not only of this,
but Of all other countries where it is heard Of
The sentence pronounced against them should
be carried out to the letter. Not one Of them
should be spared through any false sympathy.
They had no mercy in any of their intentions,
and are cowed to-day only because they have
been apprehended in their infamy and robbed
of their power to do as they would ike to.
Hang these men, and their fellows whom they
were misleading will be saved from the error
of their, way, and the people will be spared
further trouble in this direction for some time
to come Hang them, and it will be notice
to the other assassins of the old world that
they cannot hope to come here and set up
their murderous methods under the name of
liberty. In the interests of labor, Of law and
order, of peace and security to the people, and
of larger liberties to all the people, these mis-
creants should all be hanged. The verdict is
righteous one, and the jury deserve the
thanks of a grateful people.

The Republican primaries are to be held to-
night in the several wards, and in the town
ships this afternoon, for the selection of dele
gates to the State, congressional and Repre-
sentative conventions, calls for which have
already been issued. 1t is of the first inn
portance that there be large attendance of
Republican voters, to the end that there may
be full and untrammeled expression of the
party's desires. If the Republicans are to
have success this year, it is to be achieved
only by the party being the vehicle
through which the people can enforce their
ideas and demands. Whatever there is less
than this will be 8. lessening of the party's
chance for victory, and failure to rise to the
party's opportunity. If there are any ''rings,"
let the people come out and break them; if
there are any States" let them be smashed;
if there are any improper influences at
work, let them be checkmated by the
voters of the party coming out in such num-
bers as to prevent the success Of any i'll
begotten scheme. We do not fear the
existence of these things, for we believe
Republicans of all the wards and precincts are
alive to the Importance of the work before
them, and to the absolute necessity for
repelling any personal selfshness that would
interfere with the free and fair action of the
people through the party. But, to insure
this, the voters should attend the primaries
in force. These are the springs of political
action. With them kept pure. and in the
beststate of working efficiency, the succeeding
steps of the canvass can be taken with ease
and confidence. Let there be a general
attendance of Republican voters at to-nights
primaries.

The platform of the Pennsylvania Demo
Gratis ignores the liquor question, faces both
ways on the tariff ISSUE with strong leaning
toward protection, thereby offending the free
trade element, and this is the way the leading
paper of the party in Philadelphia talks about
the nominee for Governor: sMr. Black is an
amiable, easy-going, lubberly gentleman
without one attribute of leadership in his
composition. His nomination is triumph of
Vandalism over Democracy. He represents
the power of patronage, not precisely because
he chooses to do so, but because he had no
choice in the matter" Evidently Harmony
which is not at present sojourning with the
Indiana Democracy, has not taken up her
abode with the Pennsylvania brethren.

IT doesn't work well that way either. Some
of the postmaster delegates to the Pennsyl-
vania Democratic convention got scared and
had substitutes appointed in their places.
This is what the Philadelphia Record, an adj

over:
Experience indicates that the substitute
for a federal official in political convention
is about as offensive a partisan as the official
himself, and with less sense of responsibility I"
When postmaster can't go, and a plain,
private citizen cannot be trusted in his place,
it is sad outlook for 'reform" as understood
by the administration.

this one result Of an examination. Some of
the charges made we knew personally to be
absolutely baseless and all Of them are found
to be of the same character. The only result
to the continued and persistent wrangling and
