"'Simply Did His Duty"

That is what some of the Demo
cratic papers say respecting Gov
Rusk's action In putting down the
riot in this city last May.
Others allege that he went beyond
his duty and is to be regarded AS a
murderer.
Those journals which adopt the
opinion that the governor simply
did his duty declare that a public
officer is not entitled to any praise
for doing his duty. But what would
they have? How shall a public
officer merit approval except by do
ing his duty? What more is ex
pected or desired of him? What
higher praise in fact can be awarded
TO u public officer than TO say of him
that, III difficult and trying circum-
stances, when others hesitated and
failed. he did his duty?
In Texas, in Missouri, in Kansas,
and in Illinois there were riotuuS
demonstrations last spring in which
lives and property were destroyed
There is "A widespread opinion that
in those states the governors did not
simply do their duty" They hes
itated and dallied, and many lives
were sacrificed, much property des-
troyed, and business interrupted for
weeks In consequence.
When Gov. Rusk simply did his
duty" the contrast of'his conduct
with the others was so great that
the whole country resounded with
his praise. Said the Washington
Star-not Republican paper:
"W GOULD that there were thirty-seyen
other governors in this Union like
Governor KuSkw
This matter of simply doing ones
duty, that seems to our Democratic
brethren so trivial aud commonplace,
is after all one of the very highest
Importance. n thing more is re-
CURED of any man. and it is by no
means always au easy thing to do.
As long as we have a governor who
"simpIy does his duty" all right
minded men will be satisfied. The
governors aud other officers who
deliberately fail to do their duty,
playing the part of the demagogue
or the coward or the corruptionist,
are the kind of public men to be
avoided. People make great mis-
take who assume that the man who
simply does his duty" is entitled to
no credit. When Nelson at the
battle OF Trafalgar sought 10 inspire
his men to put forth all their
strength and courage, he knew Of
No higher appeal than to tell them
that England expects every man to
do his duty. = 4Hiiw6uk,ee Sentinel.

UNDER the caption of ''No Dem.
ocrat Need Apply" the Prairie du
CHEN Courier, staunch Democrat
ic sheet, kicks over the traces in the
following manner:
1t is no secret that Guenther and
the pine land millionaire SAWYER,
radical political bosses of Wis.
consln, are ia favor with the Presi
dent and his Cabinet officers; while
Democrats of highest character are
rarely granted an interview, and
their ability, social excellence, and
true principles have little if any in
tluence with the administration.
x
Instead of the enthusiasm that
everywhere characterized the De-
mocracy little more than a wear
ago, there now prevails only doubt,
and Indifference, where earnest
action and perfect organization
should have been encouraged. The
policy fore-shadowed in Mr.. Villas
remarkable Chicago declaration
'Dlsband the Democratic Party'-is
70 all intents and purposes, an ac-
complished fact. At all events, this
Is true OF his own state, and his own
native city, whore all prospects of
Democratic success have disappear
ed, and where once the Democrats
held possession, radical politicians
now rule. This is also true Of MI

CUTTING, the American prisoner
in Mexico, having been tried, con
victed and sentenced to prison by a
Mexican court for having libeled a
citizen of that country within its
jurisdiction, the warlike excitement
along the border is increasing The
Texans along the Rio Grantle are
represented as "spoiIiug for tght,"
and the Mexicans across the river
are reported to be equally b elIiger-
ent. Secretary of state Bayard, at
Washington, is reported as strenu-
ously-contending that the Mexican
Government must reiinquish its
position that it has right 10 punish
an American citizen for an offense
committed on American soil against
Il citizen Of Mexico The fact of
the matter is, however, that Cutting
published the original criminal libel
against the Mexican citizen in a
Mexican newspaper, and, being ar
rested, made retraction and an
apology, and was released; then,
crossing the river 10 lei iaso, he
repeated the original libel, circulat-
ing it in Mexico, and was rearrested
when he Iecrossed into Mexico.
This appears to be the state IF the
case. Cutting is a worthless fellow,
of the drunken, boislerous and
swaggering sort, and it is hardly
worth while for thu American Gov
ernn ent or people to get greatly
excited on his account.

MILWAUKEE Sunday 7elegr0ph.--
Rev. q. &. lladdock, Methodist pas
tor at Sioux City, Iowa, who had
been the leader in the prosecution
of the saloon eases, was shot aud
instantly killed on the evening of
Aug. Sd. There is no doubt the
dastardIy crlldG grew out of the war
lately iuaugurated on saloons In that
city. Mr.. Haddock was formerly y
member of the Wisconsin confer
ence, aud was large Drained, large
hearted, utterly fearless, rigidly
honest, energetic, sincere man. The
Wisconsin conference of the Meth
odist church has never possessed
his superior as pulpit orator, an
less we except DIR. Olin a. Curtis.
He was IA muscular Christian. He
enjoyed opposition; seemed to de-
iight IN tearing 1t down. lie stood
in the front rank of temperance
agitators, aud was of that class that
deemed it tn" part of wisdom to
picture the saloonkeeper, the brewer
aud the distiller rs hideous monsters,
and the saloon IA the most damning
of Ill black spots. He was cordl
ally hated 10y the entire liquor in
terest, and he earned that hatred.
That hatred finally eliminated in
his cowardly assassination, and that
assassination will have more TO do
in crushing the power of the liquor
traffic than any one thing that has
occurred in the past fifty years. The
great mass of the people have never
for a moment believed that the
liquor power, in order to hold its
position, would resort to murder
ard assassination. Iaddock's muir
der settles that question.
