BEATING FICTION.

The New York papers continue loaded
down with accounts of new developments
in the ROBERT RAY HAMILTON case, which
was referred to in these columns on Thurs-
day. It is difficult to understand how
man of intelligence and education can be
duped as he has been. Indeed, the whole
story seems more improbable than fiction.
If the novel writer were TO weave such a
tale as is now developing in this case, his
bool. would not sell because people would
saw that the situations were overdrawn and
the sensational had been given too much
liberty. HAMILTON is thirty-eight years OF
age. possesses more than ordinary intellect
ual attachments, is lawyer by profession,
has lived all his life in New York city,
where men are supposed to be familiar with
the wiles and the ways of the wicked, and
vet he permits himself to be captivated by
a woman of the town, and one whose beauty
10 nv no means pronounced. He first met
her in disreputable house, and after
iayishing thousands of dollars on her, some
of his gifts amounting to fifteen hundred
dollars. he married her, took trip across the
continent with her, and blindly permitted
her to palm off in him as their child babe
which she purchased from lot offered at
ten dollars head. All this time the woman
was supporting her real husband in luxuri-
Gus idleness, with money supplied by
HAMILTON, and on one occasion the latter
actually spent several days in searching
for that husband who was off on a spree
If the violent temper of the coarse and
brutal woman had not led her to make
murderous assault on the nurse she woulc
still be exercising the spell over her dupe
and in time, when he had made over his
vast possessions to her, would have seer
that he was put out of the way, as it IL
now understood she and her low-0ret
associates had planned his murder.
1t requires the facts to induce one to be
lieve that such case as this is possible
and the facts being supplied one is force'
into a lower opinion of man, and to TAX
less stock in the so-called refinement o
modern society.

HIS EYES OPENING.

Mr.. RYAN, the new minister OF Mexico,
is a Republican and has been classed as
high protectionist, although he halls from
Missouri, state which suffers severely
from the tariff tax, her people being far
mers generally. Mr.. RYAN has been in
Mexico but few weeks, and now he
declares himself in favor OF unrestricted
trade between the two countries. He sends
dispatches to the state department to the
effect that the government and people OF
Mexico are in favor of retaliatory measures
for the recent ruling of Secretary WINDOW,
nv which the lead ore of Mexico are ex
cluded from the United States. RYAN says
that unless that ruling be revoked 1t IS
probable that such heavy duties
will be imposed upon all the pro-
ducts of this country as Will effectually
prohibit their importation into Mexico.
Witnessing the practical operation OF the
protective tariff has caused Mr.. RYAN to
change his opinions, and it will not be sur
prising if he shall come out squarely as a
free trader, advocating unrestricted COM
MERGE as ardently and earnestly as some
Democrats are doing. 1t may be here sug-
gested that the gentleman is standing on
lngerous ground. His recall may be looked
for at any time, for this administration does
not propose to have in its service any man
who is so hereto as to think the people OF
the United States should be taken into ac-
count so long as monopolists and wealthy
manufacturers are around demanding pro
lection.

THE WORD WITH THE BARK on.

One of the Republican papers of the
Junction city objects to Democratic praise
for the heroes of the Union or the Grand
Army of the Republic. So far as the obiec-
ton goes to the latter organization, 1t will
probably fail for want of something to hit:
there are precious few Democrats who ac-
ouire hoarseness by shouting praises for it
or any other adjunct to the Republican
party. But this bold display of super-loy
atty does not satisfy the gory-minded
graphite grabber by a great deal; his 10y
atty is of the kind which age cannot wither
nor custom modify. Going back to some
Republican paper issued along about 1865,
he runs up against choice morsel and I'M
bitches it from its environment
in order to give the public here
about the benefit of it with
all the endorsement which It's adoption as
an original ebulition can convey. He says:
The Republican party is what 1t
always has been. This is true. Its
motives are clean and strong. 1t is
morality in principle against expediency
in policy. 1t has had faults and its weak
nesses, but its earnestness and directness
of purpose has [sicl never been success
fully impeached. There are half million
graves in this country to-day, and the
forms they contain wrapped in the red
white and blue, fell into mould and nothing
ness long ago, ignorant of the fact that
their cartridge boxes bore forty leaden
ballots, for more than forty years Of
Republican success"
There can be no question as to the Re
publicanism of the grammar of the fore
going; but if there be any meaning to the
last sentence, and the paper from which
the extract is taken has it on hand, it would
be a great project to give it. "Forty leaden
ballots for more than forty years of Repub-
Iican successp' Does this mean an offer of
blue pills for the object state17 If so, the
people will decline, for the reason among
others that the consideration is worth more
than the thing considered. Or does it
mean that we had forty years,
CT are to have forty years
of Republican rule accompanied by so many
bulletsg Or what! Maybe 1t intended to
say forty leaden years for forty Republican
bullets; or forty Republican years for forty

but how many of the poor and even suffer |
ing in his nejghborhood or elsewhere ever
had occasion to bless his name |
because of a charitable or praise
worthy actions On the other hand
look at men like JIM FISK and Boss TWEED,
who, though far from being exemplars for
the rising or any generation, did more good
than they ever did harm; they stole and d,
stole most yelenhessiy from those who
could afford to lose, but the only tears either
of them ever wrung from the widow, the
fatherless or the destitute were tears oIloy'
All this is not to be construed as a defense
of them or their career, but simply to show
that such men are betterin their dishonesty
than others are in their honesty, and that
in some cases the latter cuts no figure
whatever.
Conspicuously in the case of Corporal
Tanner does it appear that all talk OF per
sonal honesty" is weak refuge. NO one
has impugned his honesty, nor, so far as we
have heard, his veracity. Let 1t be entered
up that he never stole nickel and never
told liel that ne is a veritable Sunday
school model in all cases, and what then.
In the language of the law, it does not state
facts sufficient to constitute defense. He
was arraigned for something altogether
different and as much higher as treason
is higher than petty larceny, and upon
trial before the public was duly convicted
and is now undergoing a partof his punish
ment. To say with hyena-like leer at his
own self-sufficiency, 81 wonder what those
fellows will think when they find me asking
for thirty millions more"-meaning by
those fellows" Congressmen-this alone
shows that he is not only bungling
knave but an unpatriotic, unscrupulous,
demagogical pirate, and that he was
snuffed out when he was, while matter OF
no especial credit to the administration,
was one of the best things it has yet ac-
complished. We can get along quite well
without TANNER, either in high or low
life, and it might as well be understood
first as last. Having the qualifications for
a Sunday school teacher does not neces.
sarily fit one for the responsible post OF
commissioner of pensions.

A PUERILE PLEA.

The correspondence between Corporal
TANNER and President HARRISON with ref
erence to the formers resignation appears
in this mornings HERALD. The commits
sioner of pensions steps down and out with
the expressed assurance that his personal
integrity is not called into question, and
the executive in reply begs to assure MIN
that it is not, that so far as mere personal
probity is concerned there is no fault to
find. All of which is enough to make the
average citizen exceedingly weary. 1t IS
like discussing the component parts OF a
straw which an angry whirlwind has swept
up and carried away.
To discuss a PERSONS abstract honesty
when he is accused of murder, for instance,
would be considered too frivolous pro-
ceedi ng for the meanest pettifogger IN the
land to engage in. Mere personal honesty
of the severe type is great thing
in its way, but alone 1t is the
most insignificant of virtues and gen
orally goes hand in hand with
mediOcrity if not pusillaminity. AS patriot
ism is the last refuge Of the scoundrel, so
is personal honesty the screen Of the knave
or the fool. Who ever questioned the per
sonal honesty of RUTHERFORD B. HAYES,
for instance? And yet where are his
friends and what do they amount tol Be
cause he would not steal dollar from
another mans pocket nor take a chicken
from his neighbours roost, he was still bad
enough to accept of goods which others
stole for him, and even consented to if he
did not connive ut the dastardly crime. 1t
is hardly fair presumption that JOHN
SHERMAN ever raided anybody's clothes
line or forged anyone's name to i check,

IT WAS hard pull which Secretary
NOBLE had to get rid. of Commissioner
TANNER, but the secretary finally sue
ceeded and the country will applaud him
for his good work. Mr.. NOBLE will be
further applauded if he will now drive
BUssEY, the assistant secretary of the in
terror, into retirement. BUssEY is the man
who decides that soldiers who hurt them
selves playing ball, sprain their ankles
while skating, fall off fences while drunk,
and so on are entitled to pensions. 1t is
true, the assistant secretary has just held
that a soldier who injured his thumb IN a
boxing match during the war should not
be pensioned, but this ruling is an excep-
ton and must have been arrived at when
BUssEY was out of sorts. TANNER has
gone and the assistant secretary should go.

Mr.. JAMES Dash, the local editor of the
Beatrice Democrat, has fallen madly in love
with dining-ro girl. His family is
quite aristocratic, and is deeply scandalized
by the young mans conduct.-Kcarney

What is there so scandalizing in that!
The fact that the girl works in dining
room or that the young man is really in
love-! If the girl is as good as She must be
beautiful, he could do very much worse
and not go very far from home either, if
there are many more like those parents,
Perhaps the trouble is that she won't have

THE ALEXANDRIA (Va.) Gazette says: ut
now turns out that Mr.. TANNER, commls5.
sioner OF pensions, who poses so as the
soldiers friend, was straggler during the
one year he was in the army, and lost ms
legs by the premature explosion OF a shell
flying over the place where he was lying
concealed, and that probably was shot from
a federal battery. 1t is always well to view
mouthy people with critics eye, and Mr.
TANNER has an awful MOUTH.

or more back, fell from grace and vent to
Congress twice.
