sudden lesplng into the breach IN de-
Tense of this bob-tailed end of the q.

in the community, and the general i'm %

sought through him 70 lend a color Of

kindly advice. and seems rather O.

cured everywhere By the Mahoneites.

WAsHINGToN's boom for the Column

WASHINGTON boom for the Column
bian fair of 1892 calls forth from New
York paper critical reminiscence Of
the palmy days of Boss Shepherd, at
present boss of silver mines at Batta-
lopilas, Mexico. The ribald COM
mentat0r Of the Gotham press
mocks the boomers of the capital
AMI says that its moving spirits are the
same as those that were brought to
the condignN by an investigation when
the notorious safe burglary case made
one of the most striking and dramatic
incidents ever enacted in Washington.
The moral Of this tale is that cheek

the great "glve-away' Of bold specu.

very largely the result OF that profound
uncertainty and apprehension which
prevailed only very few days ago.
Daniel wns right when he said that It
was impossible to defeat the Virginia
Democracy when thrown into fright.
Now. for some while. the Democratic
party has been much more apprehensivs
than the general circumstances Of the
campaign justified. And what has
been the consequence Never before
has it presented 30 firm a front or been
animated by such resolute and aggres-
sivc spirit.
Let it march forward to the fifth Of
November with the same determined
air. and to the music Of the same I'M
broken tramp, and the enemy will be
scattered in violent furry like flock
of parlrldges before the gun OF the
huntsman.
If. however, the inactivity which al
ways attends over-confidence falls upon
our ranks. the serried column will be-
gin TO break. Men will strsggle away
or lounge behind. The insidious forces
OF dIsorgaDization will soon do their
work. The officers will relax their
vigilance, and the soldiers grow undis-
ciplined. There will be general indif-
ference and Incidence which will
signify total forgetfulnees Of the re-
quirements of the situation.
In the midst OF this condition Of af-
fairs. the enemy. like band OF skulk-
ing Indians. who have been logging
our footsteps for just such signs OF over
confidence on our part, will fall upon
as unawares, and carry off the scalp
Of our party amid the widest whoops
of triumph.
Now if there are any scalps to be
borne off in the hand to hand fight that
is TO follow the present skirmish, let it
be the scaIps of these political maraud-
ers who arc as bold and lawlcss as the
Highland Frcebooters who made forays
into the Lowlands, and as crafty and
revengeful as the painted bucks Of the
Arizona Apaches.
IA for William Malone, mere scalp
ing is not punishment severe enough to
innict on aim for the dishonor that he has
brought upon the noble Commonwealth
of Washington. Marshall, and Jefferson,
and Jackson, and Lee, and Maury.
4 crime against ones native State is
the blacklist and most Infamous of all
crimes in the calendar.
We cannot summon this political
matricide before the criminal bar, but
we can at least sink him ten thousand
fathoms deep in the political seas on
November 9TH if the Democratic party
will maintain its present resoluts en-
thusiasm. and will frown down the in
activity of over-confidsnce as unworthy
Of this momentous hour upon which
the fate Of our Commonwealth is turn
ing.
