POLITICIL CRIMES.

The assassination of Colonel Clayton in Ar
KANSAS according to Indianapolis dispatches,
moves President Harrison TO words
of just Indignation. 1t is to be
hoped that he will also find for the
or preventive which he can recommend to a
Republican Congress, and which, when adopt
ed, will prove Of practical efficiency. The
great difficulty Of the problem is not over
looked Sensible men are aware that the most
stringent and high-sounding measures would
probably be of the least efficiency But I'M
less something can be done to uphold govern
ment Of the people in certain Southern States,
respect for the law and for decisions Of the
majority will presently cease, even in many
Northern communities.
Do not thoughtful citizens realize that North
ern opinion has already been considerably de-
moralized, through the disposition of one great
party to excuse the most fragrant wrongs in
Southern States? 1t is not possible to have
one code Of morals for Louisiana and another
for Indiana. The Democratic partisans who
justify forging Of returns in Mississippi for the
sake of party, quickly pass to the conclusion
that the same offence, committed in Indiana
for the same party, must be equally excused.
Thus it has come to pass that election crimes
have become surprisingly numerous in North
ern States within the last few years, since the
government Of the South by crime became an
accepted and regular feature of Democratic
tactics. Nor is it to be denied that the resort
to corrupt or dishonest means by one party
tends powerfully to prompt similar offences
by the other.
Colonel Claytons assassination, it may be
said. was the act Of single individual, or at

To all appearances the strike is no nearer a
settlement than it was twenty-four hours ago.
More cars were run yesterday than on Wednes
day, but nothing like a resumption of business
was undertaken. There was some fierce riot
ing in Tenth-ave. in the neighborhood of tho
Belt Line Stables, and the mob gathered there
was so threatening that the police did not
deem it wise to precipitate such collision as
would certainly have followed the attempt to
run out single car. Elsewhere there were no
disturbances to speak of. The Board OF Media
ton and Arbitration has abandoned its efforts
to adjust the relations Of the companies with
their former employees and Mayor Grant, who
was appealed to by the men, declined 10 act
as arbitrator. The companies refuse TO treat
with the Executive Committee Of the strikers
or 10 recognize the organization in any way.
Apparently the strike has assumed the char
acter of siege, and prolonged struggle may
be looked for. With the elevated roads. the
