verified from the shameful fraud attempted.
Nobody is deceived. The Cincinnati En-
quirer knows, as well as anybody knows, that
this fraud would not have been attempted on
the day after the election had it appeared that
the Democrats had elected a majority Of the
Legislature The fraud in that case would
not have been necessary, and the thought of
pushing these men in would not have sug-
gested itself. A similar swirdle was attempt
ed at Columbus, but there, as at Cincinnati,
it was exposed. The people Of Cincinnati,
without regard to party, owe debt of graft
tude to the men who laid bare this iniquity
and defeated it.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer pretends to see a
precedent set up by the Ohio Legislature of
the fright" of majority to summarily GUST
such members as it chooses, and, in behalf of
the Democratic party. threateningly declares
that this precedent will be "a very handy
thing to have about the house." In the
proper sense it will be very handy thing,
If any future Legislature can lay its finger on
an indisputable fraud large enough to vitiate
the claims of any candidate that comes up
with an election certificate, it will be the
duty of the majority to refuse to indorse the
fraud by allowing him to be seated. The En-
quirer knows, as every intelligent Ohio Demo
Graf knows, that Democratic scoundrels were
caught in the act of stealing enough
'svotesD to select certain Democratic
legislative candidates in Hamilton county
But for this theft, established beyond doubt
by any man of any party, they would moi
have been elected" The Enquirer knows
this, and knows, further, that the men ousted
had no more right to the seats claimed fol
them than a burglar has to the plumber he il
caught in the act of carrying off from the
house he has broken into. Of course, this
hue and cry must be kept up for time, in
the hope that public attention may be di

SAM JoNEsIsM is bearing its legitimate

THE secret of Mr.. Bigelow's refusal to accept
the position of assistant treasurer at New York
has at last leaked out. His wife objected TO his

papers would heap on him if his reason for Civ

The Rev. Waldo Messaros, of Philadelphia
has succeeded in ''vindicating" himself in way
that will cause him to be object of envy to less
fortunate brethren Rev. Messaros was charged
with being thief, gay deceiver, a drunkard
with having once been tarred and feathered, and
with being ''long haired beat" He has re-
futed these charges with such skill and ability
that his Baptist congregation, convinced that he
was prosecuted by Jealous Presbyterians. angry
at his abandonment of their sect, passed a reso-

his salary from $4,000 to $4,000 Messaros be-

than to abandon his own cause as did Father

The following from the Milwaukee
Sentinel, Is worthy to be read carefully
and remembered. "a long observation
of newspapers will convince any one that
as q rule-for there are shameless excep-
tions-the newspaper editors are less dis
posed to say bitter and malicious things
in a controversy than the outside persons
who contribute to the newspaper columns.
He is a poor newspaper nan who can't
take hard blows with good nature, and
who can't appreciate and enjoy a good
thing ven at his own expense. 1t Is the
experience Of every newspaper office that
outside persons, who engage in a contro
versy in the newspapers, are often I'M
charitable, and that they try above every
thing to the sarcastic and biting and per.
sonal. They cannot argue a question on
its merits and sink their personality. AT
last every question must be determined
by the laws OF reason, and nothing is
ever gained by u%nfairness. This Is more
commonly recognized by the newspapers
than by those outside who criticise the
personalities of the newspapers"

THE condemned Anarchists in Chicago
will have a particularly anxious week of
it, for their counsel will make a despe.
rate effort before next Sunday to secure
them a new trial. Public opinion is that
they will not get it. Little heed Is paid
to the threats of the condemned mems
friends that the inAiction of the death
penalty on the prisoners will be the sig
nal for an outbreak Of anarchy. 1t is
correctly believed among respectable
people in Chicago as elsewhere, that the
hanging of Spies and his fellow bomb.
throwers will mark the end of disorder
rather than the beginning of it.
