Senator Jones, at one time, was exceed
ingly attentive to his legislative duties,
and seemed to be ambitious to make
reputation for himself. Why he so sud
denly abandoned his place in the Senate
has never been satisfactorily explained.
1t has been said that love drew him to
Detroit, and that when the object of his
affections refused to receive his attentions
he became SO respondent that ne lost all
further interest in life, and has never been
able TO make up his mind to return to
Washington.
Another story is that the newspapers
have told 50 many ridiculous stories about
his Detroit love affair that he is afraid to
meet his brother Senators again. If this
latter story is true, no doubt all the Sena-
tors would willingly sign paper stating
that his folly will be overlooked and for
gotten.
When the truth is made known it will
probably appear that the true reason for
Senator jones' strange absence is alto
gether different from the reasons which
have been gwen. There is perhaps a
mystery connected with it which doubt
less will, sooner or later, find its way into
the public prints.
But whatever the reason of Senator
Jones' absence Is, it is certain that his
public career promises to terminate rather
abruptly. Unless he can show that his
absence from the Senate during the whole
OF the present session was absolutely
necessary, he need not expect any further
honors from Florida. That State has had,
and still has, important interests before
Congress, and Senator Jones has given no
attention to them whatever. Perhaps he
doesn't expect anything more from Flor
ida. If ne does not he ought, at least, to
attend to tine States interests faithfully
for the honOrs he has received and the sal
airy be gets.

The Movement of Population.

From the Ncto York Tribune.
DR.. Wnslow S. Pierce, brother in-law of
the late ViHe President Hendricks, spent some
years in Central America, and has been re-
Gently an applicant under this administration
for diplomatic post in that region. The
doctor is exceedingly well ipformed upon
Central American affairs. He believes that a
great population will some day spread over
Mexico and the Central American States
from the North. I was talking with him upon
this theme the other day when he said: $50
far the extension of population in this coun-
try has been upon lateral lines, along

considered. is the most friendly TO the

the people in tins northern belt of country
will become so Numerous that they VIII have

Mr.. Powderly's Ambition.

The statement is made that MIR. Pow
DERBY will be the next Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Pennsylvania. 1t
may or may not be a well founded state
ment. 1t has long been suspected,
however, that Mr.. PowderIy has
political aspirations. A few mon his
ago he was spoken of as a
candidate for Congress from the Twelfth
Pennsylvania district. 1t is proba bic
that if he intends to remain an active
member of the Knights Of Labor Organi-
cation, and proposes to enter the political
arena to battle for the rights of working
men, and not for the advancement OF his
own interests, he could do more as Con
gresham than as Governor.
1t is a grave question whether the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania can
afford to make Mr.. POwderly its leader.
While there is no objection to him on the
ground that he is a knight of Labor there
are grave objections, from Democratic
standpoint, to some of the opinions which
he entertains respecting questions which
involve the interests of the whole coun-
try.
the Democratic party there could be no
good reason why he should not be nomi-
mated by the Democrats for any Office in
the gift of the people, but it would not be
advisable for the party to select for a
standard bearer man who does not ap-
prove of its principles.
II begins to look as IL the time might
soon come when the Knights of Labor
would have to decide the question whether
they will enter the field of politics as an
organization. The fate OF their Organiza-
ton may depend upon the decision of this
question. 1t Will be a very difficult thing
to hold a great body of workingmen. en-
tertaining different opinions and having
diverse interests, together in support of
any candidate or any policy. Even in
Pennsylvania, wOrkingmen are not in
harmony respecting some of the most i'm
portant questions which affect their in
terests. If there is not harmony there
where can it be expected to be?

1t is probable that the case of senator
Payne, Of Ohio, viii soon be disposed OF.
1t has been attracting good deal of at
tention for many months, and without
very much reason. The Republicans in
the OHIO Legislature undertook to find
enough evidence to convict MIN OF having
secured his election as Senator by bribery.
Their chief witness proved to be unre-
liable, but that had no other effect, APP
parently, tnan to stimulate them to make
greater efforts to accomplish heir object.
How much is false and how much is true
in the vast amount of matter they col
lected it is impossible to say. There are
good reasons for thinking, however, that
about all of 1t is false.
The Republicans proceeded upon the
idea, apparently, that because Mr. Payne
had strong opposition to overcome, and is
very rich, he bought his way to the
Senate. The committee of the Ohio Legls-
'ature, however, failed to find that be had
done anything wrong, either directly or
indirectly, in connection with the Senator
ship contest. The Republicans of the
committee declared that they found sus.
pIcious circumstances, but nothing which
| justified them in declaring Mr. Payne to
be a bribe-glVer.
This outcome of the investigation ought
to have satisfied the bitterest partisans.
1t did not, however. A Repubiica com
mittee of the Legislature went to Wash
ingtOn and insisted that the senate should
take hold of the case and give it thor
ough Investigation. The Senate took no.
tice Of the case with great reluctance,
because it felt that il the charge of bribery
against Mr.. Payne could not be proven in
the OHIO Legislature, there was not much
chance for proving it in the United States
Senate.
A few days ago leading Republican eGi-
tors from all parts of Ohio met in cOnven-
ton and passed resolutions expressing
their belief in Mr.. Payne's guilt. This
was done with the hope OF bulldozing the
Senate into ordering the case to be inves-
tigated. The bulldozlng business failed,
however, and the Ohio Republican editors
got only condemnation for the course they
pursued in the mater.
Our dispatches yesterday show what
has been done IN the case. A report has
been made, which is signed by all the
Democrats and three Of the Republicans
Of the committee, in which the statement
is made that there is no reason why Mr..
Paynes right to a seat in the Senate
should be investigated. Two Republicans
Of the committee say that while there is
nothing proved against Mr.. Payne, the
charge against him has been made by
men so eminent that it should be in
quired into.
While all means should be employed to
keep the Senate free OF men who are
ready to corrupt voters to gain their ends,
great care should be exercised to prevent
unjust charges from being made against
any member of that body. 1t is mach
easier to make charge of wrong doing
than it is to prove it, and it is difficult to
make the public believe that there is moth
ing in it after it has been made.

The public had almost forgotten Senator
Jones, of Florida, when day or two ago
a Detroit man gave the New York Star a
very curious reason why the Florida Sena-
tor continued to neglect his duties at
Washington. He said that Senator Jones
found intense enjoyment in reading the
curious stories which found their way
into the newspapers concerning HIM and
his affairs. He further stated that the
Senator was enjoying himself smoking
fragrant Hsvanas and Ia entertaining his
friends much more than he would il he
were cooped up in the not and Initiated air
OF the Senate chamber, listening to prosy
speeches on the river and harbor and other
bills,
This must be fancy sketch drawn by
one who has not seen Senator Jones since
the latter took up his residence in Detroit.

The conviction OF white man, scarcely
90 years OF age, in the Superior Court on
Wednesday, of the crime of assault with
intent to commit murder, indicates that
iuries in this community are beginning to
recognize the responsibility that rests
upon them. 1t is true that the Solicitor
General put very clearly before the jury
the necessity for dealing out justice i'm
partially, and OF finding verdicts IN
accordance with the facts, instead of in
accordance with color and social position,
and his remarks, doubtless, made a deep
impression, but it is probable that grow
ing sentiment in favor of putting an end
TO hoodlumism, and of checking the use of
a knife or pistol on slight provocations,
had much to do with influencing the Jury
to find the verdict it did
There is class of roughs in the city
who loaf around the streets at night, and
who need little encouragement TO start
disturbance, or to take part In one that
may be started oy others. When slightly
under the influence of drink they are
noisy, quarrelsome and dangerous.
When arrested they have generally
managed TO escape punishment through
the sympathy of juries, who have not
seemed to have much respect for their
oaths, or through the fears of witnesses
against them whom they succeeded in In
timidatiDg.
The prospect that the same sort of
Justice that has been dealt out to colored
roughs is to be dealt out to white ones
will be appreciated by the community,
and Will have very quieting effect on
the white roughs. If jurles will only deal
out justice with an even hand, and with
out too much show of mercy, it VIII not
be long before the victims of the knife,
pistol and bludgeon will be comparatively
few.
