Mr.. BARNEY CoNRoY seems to mistake
himself and his relation to the public No
man of good heart and sound mind would lay
straw in the way of Conroy earning an
honest living, but, on the contrary, would aid
him all he could to obliterate the effects of
his past misfortunes. But Barney Conroy
earning an honest livelihood in privacy and
quietude, and Barney Conroy working" for
the Democratic party, and being rewarded for
that work" by the bestowal of government
position to the exclusion of a faithful and ef-
fcient servant and an ex- Union soldier, are
two very different things, and Mr.. Conroy
will have to recognize the distinction.
1t is Mr.. Conroy in the latter
of these attitudes who has attracted
public attention during the past few
days. Mr.. Conroy, working at the Acme
mills in honest employment, OF driving wagon
for Mr.. Creelman in private business, is not a
character to attract the slightest public notice.
1t is to be said, however, that the public eye
has been much more on the Congressman who
promised and secured him place in the gov
eminent service, and upon the men who in
dorsed him as party worker" than upon
himself

The Journal reprints from the New York
World the shameful story of the relation of
high United States officials to the Pan electric
Telephone Company. One of these is Attor-
ney general Garland, and others are United
States Senators in high position. The rela-
tons sustained to the Credit Mobilier by GER
tain members of Congress were as nothing
compared with the showing here made on
Democratic authority. 1t is the most scan
dalous thing ever known in American poll
tics. The New York Sum- of yesterday, in a
double-leaded editorial, says
ut is difficult for any careful thinker, ac-
customed to consider the influences which
rule the minds of intelligent men, to under
stand how the present great telephone scan
dial can pass away without compelling recon
struction of the Cabinet. Mr.. Garland the
Attorney general, and Mr.. Lamar, the Score
tary of the Interior are very deeply implicated
in this scandal, ard it is incomparablv the
greatest scandal by which any member of
any Presidents Cabinet has ever been af-
fected President Cleveland is a deliberate
man, and in such matter as this especially
it is not to be expected that he will act from
any hasty impulse. But, in the end, he will
act, and then, we suppose, that some other
man than Mr. Garland will be Attoruey-gen-
eral, and some other man than Mr.. Lamar
will be Secretary Of the Interior. The neces-
sity will be painful to the President as it will
be painful to every hopeful member of the
Democratic party, but then necessity is some
thing that has to be obeyed."

JOHN W. BOoKwALTER, of Ohio, once can
didate for Governor on the Democratic ticket
has had himself interviewed, and talks out in
a very charming manner. He says:
"The Democratic party Of Ohio does not
wish to throw more difficulties than can be
helped in the way Of the party success in 1885,
The party is already in a very bad way. 1t
really has no issue. The issue Of the last cam
paign was merely Office, Office. The Repub-
lcan party has the momentum of long years
OF prosperity behind it, and has the greatest
issue OF modern times to help it-that is,
emancipation. 1t has the record of restora-
ton to specie payments, and was helped to it
by God Almighty. When the European crops
failed. in 1874, this country had millions Of
bushels of surplus wheat, and within eight
years we have exported more than in 120 years
before and it obliged Europe to ship over
5000, 600. 900 of gold here to liquidate the bal
ance Of trade"
Ii Mr.. Bookwalter will only be kind enough
to tell Ohio Democrats just how they are to
act SO as not to injure the party's prospects in
1888, he will at once be hailed as Democracy's
savior. 1t is unkind, but thoroughly like him,
to denounce the party-he is so much better
than it, which he shrewdly claims on the
ground that he was Republican up to the
time he was nominated by the Democratic
party. The party was no worse off last year,
and the year before, than at any other time.
1t never had an issue that it cared to stand by
fifteen minutes after the polls closed. But it
is unkind for an alleged Democrat to bring
fresh contempt upon the party by making
such declarations, and to rub it in by refer
ring to Republican triumphs despite Demo
cratic armed opposition. Providence I'M
doubtedly had something to do with Repub-
lican success. It will again-in 1883.

THAT General Sherman talks and writes too
much has long been conceded that he gener-
ally talks and writes well is equally conceded
In his controversy, however, with General
Frye, she old hero of the march to the sea
seems to have decidedly the worst of it; and
the best thing he can do, and the thing he,
doubtless will do, is to acknowledge his
faulty memory, and apologize for his hasty
words. AS General Fry says, there is
nothing in the phrase respecting General Grant
necessarily discreditable. 1t is evidently mere
speculation, and intended to express high
appreciation of Gen. G. f. Smith. If not
only Smith, but other generals had lived,
there might have been very different histo-
ry made in the after years of the war. If
Cleopatras nose had been a half inch longer,
the course of history would have been
changed. If that speculation may be enter
tanned, why may not Sherman's specula-
ton be INDUCED in without the faintest refec-
ton upon the greatest general this country
produced, judging by the results of his cam
paignsY

required to file certified abstracts Of the Grim
inal courts at their places of residence. 1t is
said for still greater security the departments
propose to get duplicates, for comparison, of
pictures of the various rogues' galleries
throughout the country. The administra-
ton is certainly justified in taking these vari-
Gus precautions. Its everyday experience
demonstrates the necessity of so doing.

An Interview with President Mallory.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29-Mr. Robert Mallory, Of
the Mallory steamship line speaking of the boy
colt declared against his line at Galveston by
the Knights of Labor, said that ii was not true
that his company had violated the terms of the
agreement made last fall Instead of increasing
the number of men employed the number had
been reduced His belief is that the object of
the boycott Is to force the discharge of the coll
ored 'longshoremen. He intimated that the
company was prepared to let the boycott extend
throughout the State, believing that when bust
ness everywhere became paralyzed the State
would be forced to act in the matter, and limited
that the line to Galveston might be withdrawn
for q time, unless the State took measures to
protect the company. If the Knights should
order a boycott of the line in New York no
difficulty would be experienced in getting men TO
fill the strikers places.

The situation must be getting desperate when
the Democratic organ of the State gives utter

other four years of age, and went to

burned to death had not the elder
one carried it out of doors and ex-
tinguished the flames with snow.
The mother was very badly burned
trying to rescue the baby, and would
have perished in the flames had not
the neighbors prevented her making
the second attempt. The honse,
with contents, was entirely consum-
ed. In the rubbish the charrsd body
Of the boy was found.

mington and Philadelphia turnpike
has been SO obstructed by snow that
cut had to be made through Tall
eys farm. Yesterday Talley decided
that he would allow no more travel
over his property and put up the
bars. In the evening Handy started
across the farm, and being met by
Talley was informed that he could
not go that way anv more. Handy
declared that he would go that way
whenever he wished and that he
would make trip this morning.
To-day Talley arose early and
awaited Hanby's approach. To keep
warm while he waited he built a
brush fire in the snow. Handy came
along about half past six with a Dear
born and several calves, which he
was taking to Edgemoor. His faith
er, who feared trouble would ensue
from the attempt to cross Talleys
farm, followed on foot. Reaching
Talley's farm Handy alighted from
the Dearborn and took down the
fence bars. Talley protested and a
fight snsued, during which Handy
drew a gun from the wagon and at
tempted to discharge it, but it failed
to explode. Handy then secured
club and struck Talley over the head
several times. Thereupon Talley
drew a revolver and fired twice, one
shot piercing Hanbys heart and kill
ing him instantly. Tslley WAS very
badly injured and when the police
authorities from Wilmington went
to arrest him be Was in bed and his
condition so critical that he could
not be removed.
The case was investigated by the
Coroners jury this afternoon and
verdict was rendered that Handy
died from a pistol-shot wound infict-
ed by Tslley. The latter's condition
tonight ia serious. II he RECEIVERS
sufficiently to be put under arrest he
will be held to await the action of
the grand jury.

War Claims.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-More than
one-third of the bills introduced in
the House the present session, and
they number somewhere between
three and four thousand, are for
claims Of Southern people growing
out Of the late war Never before in
the twenty years since the war clos
ed has such flood of claims OF this
kind been presented, and it is evident
that if they are to receive proper
tionate share of the time which Con-
gress will give to the various meas
ures to come before them there will
be very little opportunity for legis-
lation affecting principally the peo-
pie of any other section of the coun-
try. In past years it has been nee
essary for claimants to prove that
they were loyal during the war, but
the tendency seems to be now the
other way, if one may judge by the
great increase of such claims that
have been presented.
