disturb him in the least, and it was found

Protecting Thieves.

The daily press averages at least
one report per day of a good man
gone wrong since his appointment
to Office by the new administration,
and the usual response is that
the fellow was a hold over Repubh-
can. In DO single case has this
been true. The proper way to view
such things is to accept the fact
that all political parties have their
full share of scOundrels who cannot
resist temptation to steal. No
President can be Justly held re-
sponslble for the bad conduct OF
some of his thousands of appointees,
and it but testifies weakness to en-
deavor to cover up real facts by
false representations. Moreover, 1t
is not, in our Judgment, the policy
of the Republican press to assall
Mr.. Cleveland at this critical juno
ture, vindicated as he is by the ter
rible opposition of the New York
World, the Washington Post, the
Alexandra gazette and few other
Democratic journals whose editors
failed to procure consulates for their
families and friends. Let us wait
till these sows return to their wal
low.

DISPATCHES to several OF our
State papers announce that Gen.
John f. Roller, of Harrisonburg,
will probably be an independent
Democratic candidate in this dis
trict and contest the election of
Col. O'Ferrall on the issues which
divide their own party and so wide
ly separate the people in their
views of what is best for the general
welfare.
We are free to say that we are
for measures first, and then for
good men to represent US. In q
gerrymandered district like this,
we should not hesitate to make
choice of Il tariff democrat over a
free.trade democrat. We should
prefer democrat who will urge
the Blair bill to one who is and has
been content to let it sleep. We
prefer a democrat who will try to
promote the interests Of Virginia
to one who simply falls into ranks
with Texas and Kentucky. Ran
dali is no less a Democrat in party
affairs than Morrison, but If the
latter were in Pennsylvania he
would never see the hall of the
House Of Representatives.
We have heard nothing from any
source other than these newspaper
coDjectures about General Rollers
candidacy nor can we say that there
is the slightest foundation for them,
but many people are hoping the
issue will be made for tho public
good.

The Fifth District.

The finding of indictments
against nine of the policemen, who
fired into the Irish people in Bel
fast, for murder, does not look like
the Irish were to blame for the riots
and loss of four hundred lives there.
Such conduct on the part of gov
eminent officers would arouse in
dignatIon and cause blood shed
among any civilized and manly peo-
pie. 1t was we'll and truly said by
Thomas p. O'Conner in the House
of Commons that Lord Churchll's
fire. brand speeches were the cause
of the riots. He said that the pol
icy of the government of inquirlng
into the judicial rents was illogical
and impracticable, because the com
mission could not complete its re-
port before the spring, while the
evil existed now, and the crisis
would come in November. The pol
icy of the government, he said, was
a declaration of war against tn

people it was a decree of starva'

THE CUTTING CASE.

1t seems to be the general i'm
preston that the Department o.
State made a mistake at the start
in connection with the Cutting case
and it is reported that in endeavor
ing to make a graceful back-dOwI
the department will make Consul
Brigham bear all the responsibility
and will recall him at an early day
The Department officials do not
acknowledge, however, that any
false step has been made, but ex
press implicit confidence in the
final amicable settlement OF the
trouble. SO far from desiring to
blame Consul brigham, the Off
Gals of the department are out
spoken in their praise of the man
ner in which he has filled his posi-.
ton. They say that he has per
formed his duties in the most salts
factory manner, and his course
during the recent troubles with
Mexico has been all that could be
desired.
No information has been rccclv-
ed at the State department regard
ing the report that Cutting is to be
released as soon as he has entered
upon his term of imprisonment. 1T
is confidently expected that his re
lease will be shOrtlr effected in an
amicable way. With Cutting ont

PRACTICAL TARIFF lRISHMEN.

The Irish National League which
met in Chicago was largely attend
ed by delegates from every part OF
the United States and by three Of
it's most distinguished leaders in
Ireland. Their proceedings were
marked by harmony and a single
ness of purpose rarely seen in SC
large an assemblage cOngregated
to consider questions Of the gravity
and import of those which now SC
deepley concern Irish people wher'
ever dOmiciled.
Among the most important con
illusions reached was to boycott all
goods in this country of English
manufacture. They will neither
buy the goods nor patronize man
or firm dealing in them. This may
be fifty called practical tariff action
1t fixes the political status of the
Irishman in this country on the
question of q protective tariff be-
yond controversy. He emphatical-
ly repudiates "tarif' for revenue
only" and "tarifl reform" and pro
claims himself without reservation
against all competition with Eng
land. This is the severest blow the
Democratic party has received since
its wild plunge into secession and
war to perpetuate human slavery
to make free labor competitive with
that of the slave. Though the
knights of Labor expressed moth
ING on the tariff issue in their avOw-
al of principles, it is now demon
strated that they mean to have pro-
lection against the products of for
eign countries. In Virginia they
have evidenced this by forcing can
didates for reelection out of the
congressional contest who voted
for the Morrison deception. 1t is
worthy of note, TOO, that the dele
gates from Ireland were strenuous
advocates of this course. Davltt
urged such a policy two years ago,
and Alexander Sullivan and others
in the League acted upon it by sup
porting the Republicans on such a
platform in the late presidential
election. With the Irish voters of
this country bearing the banner of
protection the "tariff for revenue
only" gentlemen will have to form
new alignment or abandon all
hope of a state North of the Poto-
mac in presidential elections, unless
it be Delaware with three electoral
votes. New York city, the great
centre of free-trade, will no longer
overcome the protection majority
of the state outside OF her limits
II is a good sign of better times
coming when farmers, mechanics,
manufacturers and laborers realize
that they have a common interest,
and that it is aggregated capital
that bleeds them all by its bulling
and bearing methods.

The President, in reference to his
appointment of Matthews as re-
cOrder of deeds for the District OF
Columbia, says "he deemed it q
test of good faith and adherence to
promises, and that if the colored
man is worthy of promise he is
absolutely entitled to its ful6llment
by every honest man." The only
promise involved in the Presidents
appointment of recorder of deeds
for the District Of Columbia, that
ordinary people can see, is the one
he made to appoint District men
to District offices. How he fulfilled
that ia seen by his selection of a
New Yorker for the place referred

WE publish the full text of what
is known as the Brady bill on this
page so that 1t may be carefully
read and pondered. Our comments
on it, as they were briefly made last
week, will call attention to the most
Objectionable and monstrous OF its
features. Much more remains to be
said to expose the object and effect
of such an lmpractlcable, silly, and
humiliating proposition at this criti-
cal iuncture. Want of space for
bids further notice of it this week,
but in our next issue we think
we can show beyond dispute
that the entire preamble is based
upon an assumed state of facts
which never have existed, and
which cannot be found to exist in
the last decisions Of the U. s. Su.
preme court. In none of these
cases was Coupon Killer No. re-
lied upon in the courts below, and
therefore the judgment of the high.
est court was rendered entirely on
other pleadingS than those in which
the State was sustained in the first
case under the Riddleberger bill.
Who is to blame for this default it
is not our business to discuss. We
mean TO maintain that Coupon
Killer No. stands unimpalred,
and that the Act of March Is,
1854 ought never to have been
passed.
