We beg pardon hoEever for testing
aoo1f such serious matter. We regret
eroeedingly to hear of anything of the
kind occurring between men whose duty it

Men c,nnot always control their tempers

III Mr. Hull, who seems to have been the
aggresHive party, felt offended at the
rours. of the Free Press and
WaH eluvinced he could not read that pa
pei and control his temper, he might have
found elief from vexation by not reading
the paper and having it understood
among his friends that he did not want to
hear at it said about him at any time.
Sucl a course would have relieved him
from AZ! yexation and obviated the neces-
sity Of mis- obeying the dictates of anger
aud committing violence.
The south has improved very much
since the war in abolishng the duello and
street tights. The men of the south do
not tool it necessary to yindicate their
courage in that way, and If an editor or
any other public man has unjust personal

man making them. Gentlemen ought to

gentlemen should avoid if they desire to
keep their hearts pure and their hands

rs by iguoring the cause of violent temper,
or reatriining it with manly vigor.
We sincerely hope our brothers of the

ciful sentences as this that encourages
the extraordinary epidemic of crime

Democratic ECONOMY.

All through the Presidential cam

ers spent their breath and wasted much
oratory in declaring that the depart
ments at Washington were crowded
with useless employees; that the public
service was thus much too expensive;
and when the Democratic Administra-
ton came into power there was an os-
tentatious reduction of force in few
cases. The work, however, piled up
30 rapidly that the clerical force was
speedily brought up to the old num-
bers-without any publicity being given
to it, however, from Democratic
sources. Now, all the departments are
declared by Democratic officials to be
in need of still moro clerks, and heav-
