Some little time ago the Montpe-
lier Argus named Gibbs, Gov.
Smiths St. Adams editor, for Lieut.
Governor. Now Gibbs is out declin-
ing, which makes no end of fun for
his editorial brethren. The Vermont
Sentry says:
We congratulate the gentleman upon
his foresight in thus getting himself out
of the way of some other aspirant for the
office and so relieving the party from I'M
necessary embarrassment. To be sure his
nomination came from democratic
source, the Montpelier Argus, but his
prompt refusal of the honor( ?)thus con-
fered was highly creditable and will be
recognized by all as another noble sacrifice
in the interest of peace. The necessity of a
public declination is not wholly obvious,
but if the Democrats should nominate Mr..
Gibbs he might wake some morning and
| findhimself Democratic Lieut.. Governor
much against his will. Looked at from
this point of view his declination was a
mastery stroke of diplomacy. But we
respectfully suggest to any others who
may be contemplating like action, that
they wait until they have received from
some one an open letter in the nature of
an invitation to decline. The people like

Laying His Manhood Aside.

The readers of the SITTER are,
doubtless, familiar with the story of
the beligerent minister, who with the
greatest deliberation took off his
coat and laying it aside, said "lie
there Methodist until I whip this
scoundrel." THIS is now duplicated
by Grady, the new South man, and
editor of the Atlanta Constitution
The Constitution, for three months,
has been vigorously fighting Demo-
cratic tariff notions and upholding, in
an able manner, the protective theo-
ries of the Republicans. But now,
all at once, it puts all aside and says
that the election of Cleveland is of
more importance than all other ques-
tons. He then goes on to say that
after electing free trade president
he will again battle for protection.
In plain words Grady deliberately
takes off his coat Of self respect and
says, lie there manhood till Cleve-
land is elected. At a more conve-
nient season l will again put you on.
Query: Will the coat fit then?

Art as an AntidOte.

DR.. Ricord, the celebrated Partisan phy
slcian whose speciality brought him in
contact with the results of all manner of
social vice, was professed materialist,
and rather delighted in asserting his
views. The Hon. Charles Gayarre, of
New Orleans, one of his most intimate
friends, on one occasion was taken by the
valet through the DOCTORS bedroom to his
office. To the visitors astonishment the
walls OF the chamber were covered with
magnificent paintings, representing none
but sacred subjects; on sculptured prize
dieu lay open a superbly illustrated copy
OF the gospels, and over it hung an ex-
quisitely carved Christ on gilded cross.

A little tempest has been raised
over the action of Philadelphia e.
A. II. Post in admitting Ex-Confed-
crate Joe johnson to some sort oil
membership in the Post. The action
is considered illegal and is generally
condemned, even the Democratic
Lieut.. Governor of New York, Jones,
has this to say:
II have always taken this broad ground
all my life, that it is best to be liberal and
try to forget all the animosities that grew
out of this war, and to take all these peo-
pie and place them on an equal footing
with the rest of the country. But when
we undertake to make treason respectable
by condoning it, as attempted by many at
this late day, we go further than any po-
sition l am willing to approve. This ac-
ton of the G. A. r. post of Philadelphia
in receiving Joe johnson to any form of
membership, contributory or otherwise, is
in direct violation of the principles on
which the Grand Army of the Republic
was founded"

in session in New York, had a two
or three days stormy debate over the
admission of five poor women who
had been sent there as lay delegates.
By a close vote the women were kick
ed out and the matter referred to the
annual conferences. The trouble
with these kickers against the women
is not that they are not good men
but that they have been kept too long
they belong to the 18th century.
Had they got along in proper season
they would have been all right, as it
is we must put up with them until
they are admitted to the Celestial
dominions where, doubtless, each will
