New-York tribune., 1886-11-09

The respectable pant of Chicago must regret
that the supporters of the Labor candidate in
the lid District did not make little bigger
effort and keep the Hon. Frank Lawler out
of the next Congress. He came so near defeat
Seven more votes would have left him at home
for his majority was only six. 1t is said that
Lawler had one speech for the entire campa gn,
but that he delivered it with great effect about
once day. Here is the whole of it "What
III it be gnts?" 1t is needless to say that Mr..
Lawler represents good old-fashioned Dem
Ocratic district in Chicago where a respectable
Republican has not ghost of chance.
The Sociastic leaders of London were wise
in giving up all demonstrations on the Lord
Mayors Day. If they had marched, and no
trouble had ensued, little or nothing would
have been gained for their cause and if there
had been collision with the police followed
by riot, the measure of civil liberty in London
hereafter would probably have been much cur

high value upon the rights of public meetings
and professions. but they value more highly
still law, o,der and peace and non interference
with trade; and they would certainly support
the authorities in mild state of sege rather
than be kept in terror and ,lleness by poll
The shooting affair in Central Park yesterday
Is a good illustration of the kind of treatment
that too many poor women in the lower walks
of life have to endure from rufaniy husbands.
The woman lin question was afraid to live
with the man she had married, for fear that he
would shoot her, and she went out to service
as a domestic. Her fears we're well grounded
apparently, for yesterday when she again re-
fused to live with him the could not even sup
port himself he shot her. Only the barest luck
saves the fellow from being murderer. Yet
the woman kissed him when he was taken be-
fore her for ident 6cation at the hospital and
IL he had killed her and were to be hanged, |
hundreds of hearts dOu Dtless would be touched |
with sympathy for the poor feilownl The |
French move elist, NJ. Zola, would appreciate the |
incident.
THE TRIBUNE's doubts about the loss of the
revenue cutter Manhattan have happily proved
correct. The vessel came safely to port yesterday
1t appears that instead of going down as the
man on Oyster Point supposed the cutter went
behind lighthouse at the end of the New
Haven Breakwater; and she sailed too fast
for the other observer at South End to keen
his eye on her. So the story originated, and
as there was nothing but improbabilities to
contradict it, it was naturally believed by
many. Commander TOzer's friends, of course.

that ~ careful seaman would venture out in

half al hour at least. Once more, alPs well

htue wild talk was to be expected from
the Hon. j. G. Carlisle in view of the awful
narrowness of his majority but it was hardly !
anticipated that he would go SO far AS to utter !
abject nonsense. "Tbe Protectionists aided
