THE appointment by Governor Hill, Of New

garded by the equal rights sisterhood asa .tgreat

is. When a woman once secures the privilege
of saying: Y'-solmniy-swear-facts-h'ri n-c'n-

to political eminence. It may be remarked in
this connection that Indiana takes the lead of
New York in the advancement Of women, as
in some other respects, female notaries having
ceased to be a novelty in this State some
years ago.

On Sunday last the New York Star devoted
four pages of its not very valuable space to
extracts from a novel which it endeavors
to have the public believe was written by
General Logan. The attempted sensation has,
however, fallen very flat. The extracts were
not of themselves sanguinary or incendiary
enough to attract the desired attention, and
the novel, as a Democratic campaign docu-
ment to stir up Bourbon ire. will not be of
much use. If General Logan's denial that he
wrote the book were not sufficient, the fact
that the story first appeared as serial in an
obscure advertising sheet issued by a Wash
ington claim agent, should be conclusive
proof that he was not the author. Had the
General turned his attention to novel writing
for political or other purposes, leading pub
lishgfs, possibly including the Harpers, would
have "come down to the sidewalk with uncov-
cred heads" and have quarreled for the privi-
lege of printing his work.

IT is again given out that John Kelly is on
the road to complete recovery, but instead of
being cured by a diet of mackerel and ginger

MRS. DIR. LozIER, a leading suffragist of
New York, protests vehemently, in a letter to
Senator Edmunds, against depriving Mormon
women Of the privilege of suffrage, which. she
declares, is a "God-given right of their ma
ture." Mrs. Lozier will, upon this view of
the matter, necessarily have to admit that the
Lord used Congress as a means of bestowal Of
the fright" and she should ask herself if it
is not a trife impious to assume that the same
factor cannot be utilized in its withdrawal.
She is evidently not a submissive dame, or she
would fold her hands reverently when consid-
ering her polygamous sisters deprivations,
and whisper, ''The Lord gave and the Lord
hath taken away"

The periodical murderous boiler explosion
has occurred, this time at Centralia, Ill,
where one man was killed and another wound
ed by the blowing up of a rotten boiler. The
owners were doubly to blame, in that the
boiler was not fit for service and in employ
ing an engineer who absented himself from
his post of duty, during which the explosion
occurred. Proprietor and engineer should be
held criminally responsible. It is a crime to
use a boiler after it is worn out and to employ
a man because he is ''cheap."

IHE action OF the Board OF Police CommlS-
sioners in removing Superintendent Lang
greatly simplifes the situation. Hitherto
there has been sort Of shuttle-cockery about
the question Of the enforcement or
non-enforcement Of the laws. If any
complaint has been made the an
swer has been, on the part of the board
that the instructions were explicit to! the Su-
perintendent, and if complaint was made about
the Superintendent, the answer has been that he
was hampered by the board. Now this division
of responsibility is ended. The board assume
their proper legal authority, and the Superin-
tendent, or the captain in charge, is their
subordinate. If the laws are not enforced
hereafter, and if there is friction in police
matters, the public will know precisely who
are to be held responsible. There will be no
looking to a superintendent as to a higher
power, but the board must answer TO the peo-
pie for whatever there is of laxity
or failure. We are glad of this. The Metro
politan police system was inaugurated SO as to
have a police force entirely above partisanship,
and which would impartially enforce the laws.
Under the terms Of the statute a board was
appointed, and the Journal has wanted to see
the board assume the responsibility, and be
held to it strictly. Of course, it would be
folly to ignore the fact that, in the removal
of Lang, Sim Coy & Co., who
are the Democratic s'bosses," are
flushed with the enthusiasm Of victory.
They interpret the reward as a triumph of the
gang; and it would be equally foolish to ignore
the fact that such is the general Interpretation
Of the act. Sim Coy and his followers feel
that they are the ~victors, and other people feel
that their claim is well-founded. Whether
the jubilations Of the one element or the fears
of the other are well founded will soon be de-
termined by the course of the board and
of the recognized force. There can
be no further pleading of the
baby act, and in this view of it we are
glad the board have done IS they did. Mr..
Lang is acquitted of any and all charges af-
fecting his character, and he is removed solely
because Of a lack Of harmony between him
self and the board. The great majority of
the public believes this inharmony to have re-
suited from a desire ON the part of Lang
to enforce the laws more strictly
than the board desired; and that that was the
animus Of those who preferred the charges
against Lang, and prosecuted them, there
can be no question. The future will quickly
determine whether this opinion is well
founded. This much is clear. however: Che
board is now the sole authority; the force is
under complete and unquestioned Democratic
management-just where the authors of the
system desired to place it. We shall see what
we shall see.

deeds that cannot be countenanced by honest
men. If at last it be found that, for any
reason, any man or body of men will not obey
the law, nothing remains but to compel them
to. If this works injustice, the remedy, as
has been shown, rests with the people. who
would not long allow an unjust or oppressive
law to remain on the statute-book. The
safest and the only permanent solution of this
difficulty is the lawful one. Anything else is
but IN unsatisfactory truce, and it is more
than doubtful if such an one is desirable.
The Governor Of Missouri has taken the right
initiative step, and it may be hoped that the
beginning Of the end is near. Every good citi-
zen earnestly hopes so, in order that business
may be resumed and the many w%orkingmen
now out of employment may again be profta-
bly, engaged in honest work. And if it be
apparent that labor is not fairly treated, new
laws can be formulated to make reparation.
AS it is, the workingman cannot afford to
assume the attitude of defying the law he
helped to make. In a contest between law
and lawlessness the poor man must ever take
side with the former. 1t is his only guaranty
of safety for himself and those dependent
upon him. The man who burns and destroys
is labor's worst enemy. The man who in
vites anarchy in a free country is the enemy
of his race and the foe of peace and prosperity.

UNDER the ordinary rule there is naturally. on

for the smallest amount of work. Each party is
