The Fate of IA Briber.

Alderman Henry w. Jaehne has been
found guilty of having received bribe of
10000 for his vote in favor of the Broad
way railroad franchise in New York. The
result is what was expected by the public,
and it will be received with general satisfac-
tion. The trial was an entirely useless pro-
cedure, being made necessary by Jaehne's
denial of all that he had told in the way of
self-accusation to Inspector Byrne. As
soon as that evidence was corroborated, the
defense fell TO pieces, and the jury had no
other alternative than TO bring the priso-
ner in guilty.
1t is proper that an example should bo
made in Jaehne's sentence, as warning
TO would-be evil doers of like kind for the
future. But Jaehne should not be the
scape-goat for all the official wrong doing
in this steal. While cornering the bribed
the briber should also be gathered in. Let
no guilty man escape

LANCASTER, MAY II. Iss.
The Republican County Contests.

The INTELLIGENCER has no interest
whatever in the contest among the Repub-
lican politicians of this county for the
spoils and supremacy of their party, be-
yond the concern of newspaper for the
news of the community in which it is pub
lished. As an opposition party Journal it
might hope to see the worst men nomina-
ted, in the expectation that by contrast
this would prove disastrous to the party re-
sponsible for them but too frequent eX-
perience has proved that the Republican
party in this county has stomach TO
digest anything. Its patriotic impulse
would suggest to the INTELLIGENCER to
favor the nomination of the best men, see
ing that the decree of the dominant party
seems to be 50 binding on the con-
science of the majority in the county :;
but we are quite sure that such is the obi
quity of perverse and stiff-necked genera
tion that the small-fry politicians would
consider anything bad for Republicans that
was good for Democrats and he nee we sit
on the fence and watch the proceedings
with very much the feelings of the old
man whose wife was engaged in the tusSle
with bruin $50 in Betsey go in bar
That the legislative delegation on one
side of the contest hereis slated to vote for
Matthew S. Quay for United States sena-
tor would, under some circumstances, be a
subject for general humi liation /; but as he
has had his ''vindcation' from the people
of Pennsylvania, his further promotion by
his party seems to be logical ; and if his
opponents can find worse man they may
be depended upon to do it.
1t will hardly be claimed that either OF
the candidates for state senator is up The
proper requirements of qualification fo
that high office; either would be only tn,
representative of his faction it is ludi
crous to attempt to make theanti-discrimi
nation issue play any part in the contes
between them their records, like that q
their party here and elsewhere in the stat
on that subject, is about like that of tn
fellow who was "for the Maine law an
agin its enforcement. Neither has in tim
past protested against the suppression b
the Republican bosses of this issue an
either could no doubt be trusted TO do the
bidding in the future.
The contest for district attorney lies bt
tween two reputable young lawyers, neithe
of whom would likely bring discredit o
the office and both of whom put thei
claims chiefly on the ground that in time
past they have most violently abused I'll
Democracy. They have linked their fol
tunes, like all the other candidates fo
whom there was room on either Slate, to I'll
chariot of one faction or the other: an

can be discerned little significance eXcei
