sarRNAN IN THE sOUTH.

John sherman must feel good when he
contemplates the answer OF Democratic
Louisiana TO his little Establishments
about protection. One Of the darkest
pictures in the pages of the Republican
party, except the portrait OF Eiiza rink
ston. Is the story of the Louisiana return
ing board. A good authority on Kcpub-
licsn conspiracies says that. John
Sherman's W misCivings at that Time
we're sufficiently betrayed when be
dragged David VI. Key, a Tennessee
Democrat. into the Hayes Cabinet a few
DAYS after Key. OF the floor OF the
United States Senate, had bitterly de-
nounced the electoral fraud. This Ten
nessee Democrat was made Postmaster
General in a Republican administration
in tbe consciousness of its members
that a great political crime had been com
mitted.
Some Republicans in Virginia may
take a lesson 10y the results Oh those
crooked WAYS Of politics that lead That
party into the labyrinth of difficulties
crown'out of bad purposes. 50 many
men of affected good principles have
been lost in these depths of dark en-
tanglement tina, the rest ought to look
ahead and seeing the bad examples en-
deavor TO retrace their steps, n ma
safety in the task of som" honest voca-
tion Of private life.
We know some ambitious Republican
office seekers who would make good
street-car conductors, considering the
fact that the bell-punch method is sup
posed to be a perfect mechanical con
trivance against any mistake as to where
to put the fare.
Others would make beautiful specimens
of retired patriots in the character OF
Cincinnatus piowing the field and dis
daining public honor, while not a few
would perhaps do well rs keepers OF ap'
ple stands where they could retail the
fruit of discord, cast the wicked orange
and banana peal, or yend the rotten
chestnut. The intelligent reader will
perceive that those Smiles are carefully
selected to fit the Republicans
Ii cannot be denied that the Republi-
cans of the South deserve sympathy, but
whether they ever get it or not Is purely
a question of history Time, that healeth

wrongs done on them by the Southern

Queen Victoria's reception in Germany
was anything but so chilling as some of
the knowing ones predicted TO the
contrary, she is reported to have been
met with enthusiasm by the German
people. Her pleasant interview with the
Emperor Francis Joseph OF Austria is
also worthy of note, especially when ii is
remembered that she is the first British
sovereign who has ever set foot on Aus
trian soil since Richard Ceur de Lion
was imprisoned by Duke Leopold.

On the subject of Trusts and the Peo-

On the subject of TRUSTS and the Peo-
pie" the New York Herdld says:
But there is still greater evil in these
capitalistic combinations. They not only
so cover the field that individual effort is
paralvzed, but in the pursuit OF their mo-
%nopoly they buy the services OF the ablest
men-the brains OF the cOuntry-and by
having the large salaries and rewards
which an established monopoly, and that
alone. can afford they suhOrn the intel
lect of the nation for their purposes.
Thus in these times we see the ablest law
yers. the ablest chemists, the greatest in
yentors. the mot ingenious mechanics,
the most competent business managers in
the pay Of great corporations, combina-
tions and trusts, doing Obediently the I'M
scrupulous will OF the aggregated and sell
fish capital which employs them. Thus
we see more and more even our public
men the servants OF trusts and corpora
tions. The Senate OF the United States
is VIGOROUSLY full Of such, and at the
head of them shamelessly stands the chief
of a great combine, Senator Stanford, a
person of no ability in public affairs,
whose voice is unheard in the Senate ex-
cept in defence Of the corporation OF
which he is the head.
