Getting Even.

A curious feature Of the Louisiana cleo
tion was the defeat in New Orleans Of the
ward bosses who We're chiefly instrumental
in nominating for Governor Gen. Nichols
who was elected. The contest for the nomi-
nation for Governor was an extraordinary
one. 1t was between Gen. Nichols and
Gov. McElery, and it attracted more at
tention than the recent election. Gov
Nichols would not have been nominated
Ind it not been for the ward bosses in New
Orleans, who have for long time had
almost absolute control of the municipal
government of that city. From all accounts
they have given the city a very corrupt
government, and have never hesitated TO
put money into their pockets against the
public interests.
The McEnery faction was very sore over
the loss of the gubernatorial nomination,
and for time it WAS thought it would take
little or no part in the election. One Of the
reasons which led the Republicans to nomi-
nate State ticket was this hostility be-
tween the two factions of the Democratic
party. A peace was patched up between
the factions, however and the McEnery
faction determined to do two things, viz;
to help elect Gen. Nichols and TO defeat
the ring in New Orleans which had secured
his nomination. Gov. Nichols was elected by
an immense majority-a majority so great
that the Republicans are prevented from
asserting thai the election was not fair
one-and the ring in New Orleans was de-
feated. The defeat of the ring was brought
about in this way: An organization was
formed called the Young Democracy. This
organization nominated an exceptionally
good municipal ticket, and it secured TIE
support of the Republicans for its ticket
by giving them every opportunity
to see that the election was a
fair one While the McEnery faction,
therefore, lost control Of the State, it had
the satisfaction of having driven from
power the ring which defeated it. The out
come of both the contest for the guberna-
torial nomination and of the election must
be gratifying to the people, because they
have secured an able and incorruptible chief
magistrate and a good municipal govern
ment in New Orleans.

Not to be Trusted.

Senator Sherman may be satisfied with
the protestations of loyalty to him that
we're made 10y the Ohio Republicans in
their convention at Dayton the other day
when delegates to the Chicago convention
were chosen, but were not the protestations
more numerous than were necessary, if the
men who made them were thoroughly sin
cerel From the time tie members OF the
convention began to assemble until they
adjourned they kept telling each other and
the public that Ohio was loyal to John
Sherman and would stand by him las long
as he had button on his coat" as Gov.
Foraker put it,
They left the impression upon the minds
OF great many people that they were try
ing to convince themselves that they in
tended to be true to Mr. Sherman, but
were rather doubtful whether or not they
would be able to hold fast to their resolu
ton The average Republican politician of
Ohio is rather tricky fellow, and those
who put a great deal of dependence
in him are apt to be fooled. Mr.. Sherman
knows to his sorrow that he is not to be
trusted
Republicans prefer Blaine, or even Foraker
to Sherman, and if they get a fair chance
to support either of them they will desert
Sherman notwithstanding all their protes-
tations of loyalty to him. Men who will
adopt platform containing such ISLANDERS
as that adopted at Dayton will not hesitate
to violate their pledges and promises, how
ever earnestly they may have made them
In that platform they said: 1--WE charge
that the Democratic party is now in the
enjoyment OF power confessedly procured
! by the unlawful suppression of
the franchise in the Southern
States" They know, of course, when
they made this charge that they had no evil
dence upon which to base it, If Mr.. Sher-
man is wise he will keep close watch upon
these men who pretend to be soloyal to him
If they have no more regard for their prom
ises than they have for the truth they will
abandon him before a button has disap-
peared from his coat, if they think they can
advance their own political fortunes by do
ing so.
1t is worthy of notice that in their plat
form they have no word of condemnation
| for the Republicans in Rhode Island who
it is charged openly bought votes in the
recent election in that State. Perhaps they
deny this charge, as that good Quaker Sem
ator from Rhode Island did the other day
A denial of it is useless, however. The
| proof that it is true is too strong, and if the
| Ohio Republicans were sincere they would
have condemned the Rhode Island Repub-
licans in their platform rather than the
| Southern Democrats

A Wish.

| ask not that my bed of death
From hands of greedy heirs be free;
For these besiege the latest breath
OF fortunes favored sons, not me.
| ask not each kind soul TO keep
fearless, when of my death he hears.
Let those who will. If any, weep.
There are worse plaques on earth than tears
ask but that my death may find
The freedom to my life denied;
Ask but the folly of mankind
Then, then at last, to quit my side.
Spare me the whispering, crowded room.
The friends who come, and cape, and go;
The cereInonous air of gloom
All, which makes death hideous showl
Nor bring, TO see me cease to live,
Some doctor full of phrase and fame,
To shake his sapient head, and give
The Ill he cannot cure name.
Nor fetch, to take the accustomed toll
OF the poor sinner bound for death.
His brotber-doctor Of the soul.
To canvass with official breath
The future and its viewless things
That undiscovered mystery
Which one who feels deaths winnowing wings
Must needs read clearer, sure, than he!
Bring none Of these: but let me be,
While all around In silence lies,
Moved 10 the WINDOW near, ana see,
Once more, before my dying eyes.
Bathed in the sacred dews of nom
The wide aerial landscape spread
The world which was ere was born,
The world which lasts when am dead;
Which never was the friend of one,
Nor promised love u could not give,
But lit for all its generous sun,
And lived itself, and made us live
There let me gaze, till become
In soul, with what gaze on, wedl
To feel the universe my home:
To have before my mind-instead
OF the sick room. the mortal strifes
The turmoil for little breath
The pure eternal course of life.
Not human combatngs with death:
Thus feeling, gazing, let me grow
Composed refreshed, ennobled, clear:
Then willing let my spirit go
To work or wait elsewhere or here,
MATTHEW ARNOLD.

w. A. Daniels, of Steuben county, N. Y.
has fallen heir to Sl50,000, and this is how
it happened. In 1868, as Daniels, who was
in charge of a wagon train, was passing
along road through dense forest which
was on fire, he discovered a young man
lying in the road seriously wounded As
orders forbade the carrying of any person
on the wagon train, the young man was in
imminent peril of being burned to death.
Notwithstanding the order, Daniels lifted
him into a wagon, and conveyed him to the
nearest hospital The other day Charles
w. Dawson died in Chicago. He was the
young man whose life had been saved, and
he showed his gratitude by bequeathing to
Daniels the sum mentioned.

Good Effec.s of Drainage.

If this county Were properly drained il
would soon become one of the most prosper
Gus agricultural counties in the State.
Almost every day evidences of the good
results of the drainage work which has been
done in the immediate vicinity of this city
are discovered. A day or two ago Mr.. F.
M. Bliss, a farmer who lives six miles from
town, brought specimen Of the straw
berries which are growing on his place this
season to the MORNING NEWS office. He
is the picture of health and he stated that
there had been great change for the better
in his neighborhood. For twenty years he
has lived in his present location, AMI in that
time he has seen about $50 families locate
near him, and after short time move
away. Every season except this he and
his family have suffered from chills and
fever, and sickness caused by malaria is
what drove his neighbors away.
Over a year ago the county authorities
cut a canal for the purpose of draining a
larger area in that part of the county. and
the effect of the draining of the swamps
has been remarkable, Mr.. Bliss and his
family 10 longer suffer from malarial
troubles, and as much as 1000 acres of land
that had hsen partially under water before
the canal was cut will soon be in cultivation
and will produce excellent crops.
Who will say, after this practical demon
stration of the benefits Of drainage that it
would not pay to spend great deal more
money to drain the county than is being
spsnt Not only would the general health
of the city and county be improved, but
large amount of good land would be re-
claimed and placed under cultivation. The
county would soon fill up with truck farm
ers who would greatly increase the retail
trade of the city. Every dollar that the
county can possibly spare should be ex-
pended in drainage work.

The Mikado of Japan thinks the punish
ment fits the crime in the case Of the en-
forced suspension Of paper published at
Oakland, Cal, by japanese students. The
paper was called the Shin Nippon, and the
editors who had been studying American
politics, severely criticized in each issue
the japanese government, thinking the
Pacific ocean would protect them from tho
hand of the Mikado. As the main circula-
ton of the Shin Nippon was among students
in Japan, however, the japanese officials
seized and destroyed all of the copies that
were sent there, and this interfered so seri-
ously with the papers, income that the
young men were obliged to abandon the
enterprise.

Mrs Gideon Ramsdell, of Rochester,
n. Y, was worth about 100000 when she
died, and her will provided that SIS, 900
should be used for the erection of a mauso-

and her two children. The heirs don't
think they are wanting in respect for Mrs.
Ramslell, but they think 5000 for a
mausoleum and $4,000 for themselves is
the way she should have divided her prop
erty, and the court to which they appealed

Ex-Candidate st. John was somewhat off
his base when he said the other day that
the time was not very far distant when the
Prohibitionists would elect President Of
the United States. In 1884, out of a total
vote of about 10, 100000, st. John received
only 150,369 The Prohibitionist vote will
hardly be increased very greatly this year.
The Prohibitionists, however. may occupy
an important position in one or two States
by holding the balance Of power.

put down in the Republican Presidential
column. That is the explanation of their
deep interest in the people of DakQts. All
the same, Dakota will be very apt to keep
