A Big Doodle Story.

The New York World has revived in
terest in the $4,000 contribution to the
Republican campa On fund by JAY Gould
just before the last Presidential election.
The story as told, on what is claimed to
be good authority. is to the effect that
John j. O'Brien, the Republican boss in
New York city, with his faithful lieuten-
ant, Robert McCord, went to Stephen b.
Elkins and obtained an introduction to
Gould. They represented that if
they could get a good lump sum
in hand they would be able to put it
where it would do the most good among
the Democratic leaders, presumably some
Fammany men, and make New York give
a sure majority for Blaine. 1t is said
that O'Brien represented that a
deal had actually been arranged
with Tammany by which the Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency
was 10 have 10000 Democratic votes in
return for a like number OF Republican
votes to be cast for Grant for Mayor. 1t
is said that OBrien even mentioned the
late John Kelly as party to the arrange
ment, and painted in such glowing colors
that when they left Gould's office they had
$4,000 in crisp bills in the carriage, but
that the trade with Tammany was never
contaminated, and that the Doodle was
divided among the parties who arranged
the scheme to bleed Gould.
1t is said further that the Republican
committee tried to investigate the mat
ter, but could never get the parties who
handled the money to give an account of
their stewardship. They denied APP
propriating the money to their own use,
but never would furnish any statement
OF their disbursements.
The story is an interesting and charac.
teristic contribution to the history of the
ms aud outs of New York politics, and
shows probably that Jay Gould Is not
altogether the shrewdest man in the great
city,

When Comparisons Become Striking.
From the Neap York Trib,lna


Standing the other day in the grand stand
in Madison square, where the President was
reviewing the parade of Decoration day,
Postma ster General Villas remai ked to me:
Ihe faces of men seen in parade like this
are wonderful study. There is a general
expression of intelligence running through
every column which speaks we'll for their
character" The remark was misappre-
hended by gentleman who stood by and
who said that he thought as rule The Grand
army veterans were the cream of the armies
that fought in the rebellion, as the men who
enlisted for vena motives, the bounty Jump
ers, and men of that stamp, were not included
in the Grand Army ranks. General Villas re-
joined: THAT is not what meant. A study
OF these faces Is 10 my mind the most
convincing eveidence of the widespread dis
semination of knowledge in this country
The features of these men as they pass by us
are ful of animation and lntelligence. They
move as If their bodies were animated by ac-
tive minds. They indicate a general cOndl-
ton OF elevation above what one tees in the
old country In similar parades. There the
men have british faces, as a rule. The men
are heavY, stolid, gross and lacking in express
SION IN their cOuntenances. / never knew
what good thing thiscOuntry OF ours was
until l came back from a long tour from
Europe But IL is on occasions like this that
the COMPARISON becomes most striking"

From the 81. Louis Republican.
KAUFMAN, Ten. June lS.-An interesting
habeas corpus case was tried in the County
Court here yesterday before the Hon. j. E..
billiard. John D. Clapp forged an order from
w. f. Lassiter for license to marry Miss
Lottie Lassiter. the thirteen ear old daugh-
ter of Mr.. Lassiter. They were married In
due form, and were beginning to imagine
themselves safe from the clutches OF the old
gentleman, but he came to town and sued out
writ OF habeas corpus for his child, charg-
Ing that the marriage was a nulllty, that his
daughter had been Kidnapped by John d.
Clapp. and that she was restrained from him
by force, fraud and undue influences. and
PRAYED the court to give him control Of the
girl as MINOR.
The case was called, the irate father, the
husband and his bride all being present. The
respondent pleaded against the jurisdiction
OF the court. The plea to the Jurisdiction
was overruled and the case tried on its mer-
It's. The young married people were each
placed on the witness stand, and told how
they loved each other, and gave all the CIR
cumstances of their courtshi p-hOw they had
anaged to pull the wool over the old mans
eyes, ran away and got married. They also
introduced witnesses to prove that the
young man had good character and
some some property. They also proved
woman; that she weighed ia pounds;
that she had an excellent English
education; that she knew and fully under
stoOu ali the uuJles OF housewife, ana that
she only needed four months to be Ii wears OF
age. She stated to the court that her mother
was getting old and in order to be useful to
her mother she had taken charge of the house
hod AFFAIRS and looked after them just as If
she was mistress OF the house. She said that
she loved her father and mother tenderly but
that she loved her husband better than any
one else. and that she was going TO live with
him at all hazards.
After argument of the case, the court en-
tered judgment for Lassiter ana ordered the
SheriH TO give him possession of his daughter.

Some OF our exchanges are surprised at
the fact that while the English press take
notice OF the sailing OF the North Atlantic
squadron OF the United States navy TO
Canadian waters, they do not seem TO con-
slider the peace to be threatened, or believe
that there is any likelihood OF war. As
there is very little danger in the North
Atlantic squadron. even II IL were bound
on a hostile mission, the English papers
have no occasion to get excited over tue
fact That IL has taken a northward course
for It's summer cruise. IL would be bet
ter were some OF our American papers a
good deal less sensational and excitable
than they are.

The Philadelphia Press, while defend
ing the stand Of MIR. Randall and his pro-
lection colleagues on the tariff question,
does not defend the Democracy of these
gentlemen. Commenting on the vote OF
Thursday, it says: ''The Democratic party
has sent to Congress an overwhelming
majority of its representatives favorable
to the Morrison idea. 1t did this after
Morrison had brought forward a similar
scheme in a previous Congress. The
Democratic President had indorsed the
measure, and it became thereby a part of
tue policy Of the administration, and the
party which has always held to free trade
theories was again directly committed to
them" The Press knows that the De-
mocracy is not in favor OF free trade, but
In favor Of the reform and reduction of the

Am Impnrtnnt Kelnrm-

The report that has been given cOnsid-
cradle prominence that the President and
some of his Cabinet would indulge in a
junketing trip this summer has been au-
thoritatively denied. Secretary Whitney
has announced that neither the President
nor any member OF his Cabinet has any
thought OF going on any pleasure excur-
sion on a naval vessel.
Some Official Junketing expeditions
were quite common under the various
Republican administrations, in fact under
Grant they were disgracefully frequent,
and the total cost Of the government must
have run up into the thousands OF dollars.
This abuse came 10 a sudden END on
March 4, 1855, and it Is TO be hoped
that il will never be revived. No Presi-
dent or other official has any right
TO use the ships or other property OF the
government for any except governmental
purposes. To devote such ships or prop
erty TO the qualification Of the desires and
whims Of officials is just as inexcusable
as 30 devote tue money in the Treasury 10
the private uses of such officials.
1t is the great mission OF the Demo-
cratic party to reform the abuses that
have crept into the public service under
Republican rule, and much has already
been accomplished IN that direction. The
most glaring abuses have already been
corrected, and the people must recognize
the great service that is being done the
country in educating the public con.
science.
