Some of the statements telegraphed from
here in connection with the police scandal al
leging general decentralization and rottenress
in District affairs and universal dissatisfaction
with the commiSsionership form of Govern
ment, are decidedly wild. THE STAR has prob
ably as good opportunities for Judging OF the tone
of public opinion on these matters any other
observer and can say that the people OF the
District are not tired OF the commissionership
form of government, and are not at all disposed
to think that the experiment of having District
men for Commissioners is "a failure. They tecl
that the present Commissioners are thorough
" honest and reliable, and that any errors
they fall into are errors of Judgment
purely; and as regards the question of the form
oil District government. the general results of
the present plan have been so satisfactory that
any attempt TO gather even nucleus of an op-
position to IL have utterly failed. The people
especially the tax payers-know when they are
well OF, and have not the slightest disposition
TO swop of the present government rule and
government backing i'll District expenses and
big burden OF debt, for the boon OF suffrage and
Murder Bay rule.
There are many who hold that improvements
could be made in the mode OF organizatfou.-
that the number of Commissioners should be
larger, and that the different quarters OF the
city should be represented on the board-but
there is hardly voice in favor of abolishing
The silly rule which permits the rejection as
juror In "a criminal case OF any man who
knows enough about il to lay MIN open to the
suspicion Of having formed an opinion, was
displayed in a brilliant light in New York city
lately when grocer whose name was on the
panel for the trial OF one OF the .boodle" alder
men confessed that he had never read anything
about the scandal IN the newspapers, and that
he did not even Know who was the prosecuting
attorney OF the county. With what face can
anyone pretend that such "a man is tit TO sit I'm
Judgment upon the moral quality of the con-
duct OF one of his iellow-citizens? Is not a state
oi the law which encourages the choice of such
juror mockery OF justice? Could not the
community better afford to so back to the origin
of the jury system and revive the practice OF
accepting, not the neighbor who knows least
about the case, but the neighbor who knows
most.

The prophecy OF good many persons who
looked with disfavOr upon the knights of La
bOr early in the career OF that order, that it
would be used, in time, as a steppiDg-stone by
members ambitious of political power so far
the organization has kept reasonably clear of
such abuses; but the year now drawing to a
close has witnessed more than one instance
where a single demagogue has made free with
the fortunes of thousands of working people in
order to promote his private advantage. The
latest and most fragrant case was that of Dis
tricr Master Workman Butter, OF Chicago, who
was q candidate for sheriff, and who took q no
ton to frighten the capitalists of Cook county
into supporting him by showing them the
power he welded in Labor circles. To that end
he caused twenty thousand poor men TO give
up work at which they were earning fair liv-
ing, and break the pledges they had given their
employers some time before. The fellow made
80 little Of a secret OF his purpose that it was
known even in the east before election
day. This is simply an outrage. The
man who would be guilty OF such
conduct deserves no mercy. Ii the constitution
of the Knights of Labor does not specify the
means OF reaching case like Buffers directly,
there must be a. least enough power in the CEN
trail authority 20 take away the charters OF
district which permits such a violator OF the
principles OF the order to hold its leading office.
When Martin Irons had brought his followers
To want and misery and made a failure of their
strike, it was they who turned upon him and
drove him into exile. In Chicago it may be
that the Knights have not been wrought to the
necessary pitch of desperation for such a course;
but that means that they are not fully imbued
with the spirit of their order. In any event. il
should be the first business of the general as
sembly, when it meets again, to strengthen the
central organization by providing a process to
enable il 10 discipline a local magnate who
abuses his trust To permit a few such perform
ances as Buffers to occur without check or
public condemnation is equivalent to scaling
tn death-warrant of a society which, with pure
administration. might make itself one OF the
most powerful of social factors.

intense anxiety. Once Barnard reeled under
Gannaway's blow, and seemed on the point Of

She shrieked aloud. A bullet sang viciously
through the window at the same instant and
tore shallow furrow in her plump shoulder.

toward each other and began exchanging shots

she fell upon her knees and leaned her head

As the guard of the retreating rebels dis
appeared beyond the hilltop the dismal clouds
began dreary weeping over the cold, sodden
earth. Through this the drenched soldiers
moved mournfully about, seeking for the dead
and wounded. The latter they carried into
the great sitting-room of the house, where q
glowing fire was blazing in the wide fireplace,
and gave to their hurts such attention as their
slender knowledge suggested. Messengers were
sent for doctors, and Jasmin worked so ear
nestly in bringing all the resources Of the estab-
lishment TO the aid of the sufferers that she
forgot her own share in the mornings tumult.
This was rudely recalled TO her as she came
out of the front door on the porch on some do
nestle errand by encountering squad of drip
ping men carrying body up the steps. She
looked at il, thinking it was a wounded man,
and was Mortified at beholding the CHASTITY
features of Crittenden Gannaway, with the
blood dripping from the frightful wound in
the head. The sight so moved her that she
flung down the cup she was carrying, and ran
up to her rooms, where she threw herself on
the bed and hid her face.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUGUST IS, 1886.
Our Candidate.

The work of vest sr,iay's convention was
done quickly quietly and in order. The
convention convened for a purpose, and
that was the nomination of a candidate, fol-
cons ess. irom this great Eighth district OF
Ohio. The eyes Of the whole country were
watching the result. A district that has,
for years, been represented by men who
stood foremost among the members Of the
house, and has gained a national reputation,
was expected to take no backward step yes
terday, and she did not.
Robert p. Kennedy, the nominee of yes
terday's convention. needs no introduction
TO the voters Of this district the people of
Ohio, nor to the people of the entire coun-
try. His fame. name and reputation as an
unqualified republican, of ability, honesty
and courage, have gone before, and the
people, every where, are ready to enthuSi-
astically endorse the nomination.
INC uutl VI iCpuOii'dits uoM II W pic-
pare for the campaign, stand together
firmly and solidy, give no aid and comfort
To the enemy by lukewarm endorsement
of the candidate or the platform. General
Kennedy'S qualities, for getting there
are well known. but the entire party should
stand solidly at his back. The republicans,
of his own county. have pledged fifteen
hundred majority, and Clark county should
come to the front with a larger majority
than ever before
Let every man do his duty and this can
be accomplished; it is not question of
election. but a question of how great the
majority will be and how hearty an endorse
ment the people of the county will give the
man who. as speaker of the Ohio senate
last winter, stood for the people, and their
rights, as against the perpetrators of the
great election frauds in the state.
The speech Of General Kennedy. and the
platform, upon which be stands. will be-
forHd in another column; we trust that not
only republicans, but all citizens, will read
his utterances and then enter heartily into
the work of the campaign and his election.

The Lahnr Resolution.

1nere was considerable adverse criticism,
last evening, over the failure of the conver-
ton, yesterday. TO adopt the resolution
offered by J. Guilford White, OF, if not his
some similar one. 1t was presumed, by
many, that the question to which the res
oIution referred had been ignored entirely.
and that a large body of voters had been
thus slapped in the face. Such suppo-
sition Is entirely wrong. The very first
plank in the platform reads as fellows:
First-We affirm of the principles of the
republican party, As set forth Iii the last
state and national platfor MS, or the quest
ion of the relations of capital and labor, and
upon all other questions.
of course this, TO those who are not fa-
niliar with the platform of last year, is
meaningless; and in order that the position
of the convention yesterday may be made
clear, we reproduce the part of last years
platform to which the above refers. 1t is
as follows
I've want such legislation as will har-
mOniZe tie relations of labor and capital
and promote the welfare of thepeOple. and
protect and foster the industries of the
state.
We favor the establishment of National
bureau of industry the enforcement of the
eight hour law; and adequate appropriation
from the public revenues for general edu-
cafiOD wherever the same Is needed We
denounce the importation of contract labor
and favor the most stringent laws to effec-
lively prevent it."
Substitute this, for the first resolution
adopted yesterday, and you will have the
platform complete. The sentiment ex.
pressed is clear, concise and strong, broad
enough. liberal enough, and just enough, to
meet the views of every fair-minded man
in the district.
The sentiments therein expressed are
