WHAT a humliating spectacle it was
to see with what fidelity the Democrats
in the City Council protected the illegal
rum traffic in the city. OF the seventeen
Democratic members of Council four
teen of them were afraid to permit
Mayor Harrington to appoint two detec-
tives to Getect and punish violators Of
the law-Sunday Star
This is the sort Of food Republican
politicians dole out TO their dupes The
mayor and the police are Republicans
and they have every opportunity and the
incentive Of pure and lofty motives to
stop illegal traffic. If the Illegal traffic
is an open and crying shame
who should know II better than
the police ofiicers9 The police Of
icers are on the streets, more or less
awake night and day. They should
arrest the law breakers or resign The
two detectives asked for by the mayor
will not likely be any more efficient than
the police They would be appointed not
because they were detectives but
because they were Republicans. They
would soon be as well known and as
easily avoided or compounded with as the
police. In short this charge against the
Democrats rebounds upon the Republi-
can officers. They are employed to detect
crime and to bring the criminals to justice
If they do not perform those duties
they should abandon the job. This is
not our complaint We contend that
this is an orderly city that crime is not
rampant, and that the mayor and the
police do their duties reasonably well.
The derelictions are those mentioned by
Republicans. If they exist we have
pointed out that the mayor and tn,
police are responsible-no the Demo
cratic Council which provides money L
pay them. II there is any humilia
tion, as charged above, the Republican
officials must bear it for they are taking
pay for services which they are charge,
with neglecting to perform.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Like Any otner iAvsstmont.


Wade's Fibre.
Many people criticise literary ventures
as If they were moral institutions, organ
lied for the purpose OF educating pub
lie taste in the right direction. But our
daily papers and magazines are purely
business enterprises. They make public
opinion, but for revenue only, hence,
opinion is made for the highest bidder,
and the papers are run for the amount OF
money that can be made out OF Them,
just as any other business enterprise is
run. 1t is just as necessary that divi-
dends should be made with regularity in
running paper as it is in running a cot
ton mill, railroad, or any other com
mercial venture To accomplish this end
the managing editor is selected in the
same manner as railroad president
would be, on the strength of his ability
to make money. To do this he must
cater TO the public taste, not teach
morals In this way he increases the de-
mand for his publication, and makes the
investment more profitable, The public
are to blame for this state of things. for
they do not demand moral teaching
What they want is to be amused, not to
be instructed, so that it is a dangerous
experiment to elevate the tone of pub
lication too high.

Sectional Hate.

AT the dinner given TO Governor Cor
don of Georgia, at Elizabeth. N. j.. in
referring to the G. A. r. row because
General Drake gave him a badge at the
centennial. Governor Gordon said: But,
testing aside. how sad is such an exhibit
fion of temper upon so ludicious mis-
apprehension. / do not know how such
a scene may affect others; but, as for
myself | would trust with thousand
fold more confidence the honor and safety
of the Republic to the keeping of those
worn and battle-scarred heroes who
buried their sectional prejudices at APP
pomattox, and who were glad to extend
soldierly greetings to sincere man who
had fought against them, than to trust
that Republic to the men who were un
able to hide their passions even while
doing honor to the memory of Washing
ton.
All, sirs, there is a difference in the
tribunals that try men and their actions.
There are the tribunals of the laws and
the courts. By these conviction or ac.
quittal is quick, present and on the
testimony of eye-witnesses. But the
tribunal of history stands afar off-on
the highlands of futurity, whose lofty
peaks shall lift the presiding judge high
above the clouds of present passion and
give his eye a far wider sweep
of the horizon of the past. Before that
great tribunal of history we shall all
be tried. Who would not prefer to stand
before that bar in the person of the mag.
nanimiouss fold veterans who gathered
around the horse and eagerly grasped
the hand of your speaker in fraternal
greeting, than in the diminitive, infinite
simally small spirit of the fomenter Of
hate in this free and Christian republic
What is to be the verdict of that far of
tribunal of history between you and me
between the North and South, theil
motives and aspirations in the great
civil conflict? Shall | tell yoU
what it shall be? 1t has already beer

THERE was great excitement among
Philadelphians yesterday to know where
they would quench their thirst during the
next twelve months Many ell-known,
expensive and popular fountains and
havens for the thirsty and weary will not
be opened this year Everybody was
anxious to know just how far he would
have to walk for his favorite soul inspir.
ing potation, or his spirit elevating con
coction. Everybody was in doubt
whether the particular legend
he has been telling his wife would
work happiness or surcease from dull
care for another twelve months. A good
legend, one which stands the tests
of doubtful wife, late hours
and suspicious breath. is a valuable
household property. and should not
be ruthlessly destroyed. The anxiety
consequent upon the publication of the
liquor licenses created great de-
mand for the afternoon papers. The
Philadelphia Herald sold 10000 extra
copies by being the first paper to press
with the license list. This morning the
Philadelphians are planning new lunch
routes and formulating new legends to
obtain possession of their night keys.

SINCE Bishop Potter made some com
parsons between President Harrison and
George Washington, the Republican
papers are asking who is Bishop Potter
anyhow? At first it was sought to be
shown that the bishop was Democrat.
When it was found, on the contrary,
that he was a lifelong Republican who
wished to recall the President for whom
he had voted back to Washington's s
q standard of conduct in respect to the
tspoils Of Office, a different line of argu-
71ment was adopted. "Who is this Wash
ington, anyhow, it was asked, ''that he
should be set up as a model to the preiu-
dice of the actual President and prospec.

Manchester tEng) Guardian.
A small tumor was removed from an
important nerve in a patients arm, and
in the course of the operation some of
the nerve itself was taken away; this
was naturally followed by loss
Of sensation in the part of
the skin to which the nerve
was distributed. After forty eight
hours the surgeon, having obtained a
piece of healthy nerve which had just
been amputated, proceeded to restore the
continuity of his patients nerve with the
borrowed piece of tissue. The result
was that sensation returned in thirty six
hours, and there was every prospect of a
complete recovery.

1t is greatly to be regretted that the
Post Office Department has burdened
the administration with this vicious and
scandalous procedure Of setting the con
gressmen at the head Of the minor pos
tai service. 1t is a gross impropriety,
and great injury to the public service,
and it is surely laying up for the future
various consequences of evil Mr. Clark

why should Democrats Leave.

Philadelphia Herald.
Why should Democrats leave the Grand
Army Of the Republic? Can they not do
more good by remaining in it2 Should
not every one of the tens Of thousands Of
Democrats still living who wore the blue
in 1876 rather seek to join this great
soldier organization and redeem it from
the politicians and traders into whose
hands some of its posts have fallen2 The
party which contributed George H.
Thomas, Philip Sheridan, Y. 5. Grant,
George Gordon Meade John Fulton Rey-
nolds, Winfield Scott Hancock and hosts
Of lesser but equally honorable men to the
cause of Union and freedom can certainly
afford to remain among tie soldiers Of

to do so.

Not a Lovers walk.

Georgetown Democrat,
Truly, the first and only Republican
Senator from Delaware mus have been
terribly misled by his trusted lieutenant
in Sussex for this act to have called
forth such an indignant protest from
the league, and perhaps by the time the
other fourth class post offices in the
state are filled with Republicans the
Senator will be reminded many times
that position is more apt to create enc.
mics than friends and that thorns are
more plentiful than roses. Between
failure to get his friends appointed to
office and receiving the maledictions OF
those he does not favor in seeking the
appointment Of themselves or friends
his path will not be strewed with roses
