A." KECOGNfEION."

The rabid temper Of some OF the
anti-Mahone men indicates that the
Washington Post, rs local augur of the
administration, was right in stating
that Mahone's star was in the ascend
ant again, and thereby we suppose that
the mild dicky birds will have to flock
by themselves while the hawk swoops
on the chickens and carries of the fat
offices in his claws.
Thus the fitness of things works re-
suits and the kindred elements and
kindred acts form together. Mr.. Har-
rison started out with a general recog-
milton Of his honesty by all parties, and
his higher minded friends declared that
he would not be smirched by the Off
cial association OF the MOngrell South
ern politics, and we believe his
intentions were good. but there
came TO him certain Pharsees and by
pocrites and maiign spirits of evil, and
counselled the other methods in the IN
terest Of the g. o. F., as the wicked
power Of the party as turned. And he
hearkened unto them.
In truth. it is written that "evil COM
munications corrupt good manners.
Perhaps the assurance of Malone S
restoration may rejoice the hearts Of
many of the "Shystcr" element Of his
party, as those are called who bow
down before the throne of the Boss and
do the dirty work with blind obedience.
General Malone is certainly the man
OF his party most capable in tbe lines,
that the q. O. p. chiefs Ike Chandler,
Wanamaker q Co.. approve. But
perhaps also President Harrison does not
know that though as patriots we may
lament such a downfall from his
first promise of conservatism, yet, as
Democrats, we must disagree with that
lament, and hail Malone, Boss of the
local G.. o. r., Ms the best canyasser for
our own party.

The trial Of Captain Dawson as
.assin has established the important
facts that he was shot in the back ana
that there was an attempt made to mae
the body. The Commonwealth rested
it's case at that point, after ehcliine
from the Swiss maid that DR.. mellow
had engaged her attention with q Dropo-
sition 10 marry her after getting d.
vorce from his wife.
One of the points Of interest IN the
case is the peculiar character Of the Jury
and the readiness with which seven
colored jurors were accepted without
any objection on the part OF the prs
oner. Mixed juries in the South are
exceptional, and the average white citl-
zen. when in the clutches of the law,
prefers to trust his case to white men,
~ that the conclusion has been that
Mellow had d theory that political
prejudice against prominent Demo-
cratic leader might incline the negroes
ON the jury to acquit him.
That would indicate but slim conf
dence in the integrity Of his plea OF
seif-defense.
There appears at the present stage OF
the trial no probability that the accused
can controvert the convincing circum-
stantial evidence that Dawson was shot
in the back, and that the slayer tried to
hide the body, and in the face of that
the plea Of self-defense impales itself on
positive contradiction. SO that as
far as heard from, if Mellow Is ac-
quilted, it will be attributed to some
other influence than that Of evidence.
II the murderer had succeeded IN
hiding the body and escaped detection
for a considerable time, as in the Park
man case, the discovery Of the remains
and the proof that Mellow was the
slayer would have made hanging case
OF it, and therefore the greatest impor-
lance is attached To the established TACT
OF the attempt to bury the body. The
Swiss maid has surprised everybody by
the amMnt Of reputation she has
saved in the difficult ordeal through
which she has passed.
According to her testimony she only
listened to a proposal TO marry mar
ried man, but the counsel for the de-
Tense failed to elicit anything favorable
to the prisoner.
