MR.. CAPPELLER STRIKES BACK

MIR. CAPPELLER STRIKES BACK.
Cleveland Leader.
Everybody-that is to say, nearly
everybody wondered how it happened
in 1887 that Powell, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, ran 1000 votes be-
hind the usual Democratic majority in
his own county. There were two men,
it appears, who were not surprised at
the result. One of these was W. S.
Cappeller, chairman of the Republican
State Committee, and the other was
James E. Campbell, now Governor, who
was defeated by Powell for the nomina-
tion In that year. Mr.. Cappeller is no
longer Railway Commissioner, and is
disposed to tell what he knows about
the Governor. He says that Campbell,
who also lives in Butler county, desired
that Powell should run behind in that
bailiwick, and solicited the aid of the
Republican chairman to bring about
the desired result. Mr.. Cappeller says
he was willing, and that between them
they managedit Mr.. Cappeller expresses
surprise that Governor Campbell should
"cut the string" that bound him so closely
to the chairman of the Republican Com
mittee in 1887, in view of their very con-
fidential relations and political co-opera-
tion at that time, but he is not going to
cry about it,

THE House has passed the bill class
flying worsted goods as woolens. This
is an act of justice to American man
ufacturers and to American wool growers
as WELL The wool to make these goods
will now be bought at home instead of
in foreign lands, and the wages paid for
manufacturing them will go into the
pockets of the American workingmen.
That is one of the things the Republican
party is in power for.

THE MUGWUMP DEFINED.

"Why, then, should we sorrow over the
Mugwump? He has been, and always
will be; he is essential to the economy
of human affairs; what boils were to
Job, such is the Mugwump to the body
polite. Job was patient; let us be pa
tient. There is an old legend which de-
clares that birth and death occur at
the same moment, and when child is
born it receives the intellect of the man
who dies. In rejecting over this L
have been led to the conviction that
when the Mugwump was born nobody
happened to die."-CongreSSman Rob
ert w. TIQylOr.

THE eleventh General Conference OF
the NJ. E. Church South will assemble in
st. Louis next Saturday week, May 10
This is an event which occurs only once
in four years. The separation between
the Methodists North and South occurred
in 1874. Bishop Andrew married widow
who owned slave in Georgia. The
Northern Methodists expressed horror at
the idea of Bishop of the Church being
a STAKEHOLDER, Southern Methodists up
held the Bishop in the possession of his
property. Accordingly, after hot dis
cussion of the subject, the Southern
Methodists seeded, which was seventeen
years before their political brethren took
the States out of the Union. The States
are back. The Southern branch of the
Church is still out in the cold, says the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

THE RIPPER" LEGIsLATTrRE

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
The leading characteristics of this
Legislature-and of course the majority
side is meant, as the Republican minority
exercised simply a negative, or at the
most a restrictive or restraining inf1u-
ence-have been its hypocrisy, its bad
faith and its intense partisan greed.
Protesting to be the party of the poor
man, the very first act of the Democracy
was to elect to the U. S. Senate a nom
resident, for no other possible reason
than that he was immensely wealthy.
The second prominent act of the Leg
lSlature, the deposing of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Lampson, without going through
even the forms of a judicial investigation
and trial, was but the beginning of a
series of thefts of public offices unpar-
alleled in the history of the State. This
Unsuitable greed for office, and the
ruthlessneSS displayed in satisfying it,
are the more notorious and disgraceful
from the fact that they involved the
most brazen party perjury. Last fall,
even in all the extravagances of a heated
campaign, Republicans never thought of
charging the Democracy with such a
depth of political perfidy as this Legis-
lature has exhibited in its reputation
of the Dayton "Home Rule platform.
The Legislature has again and most
signally demonstrated that the Democ-
racy has no principles; and having no
principles, this Democratic Legislature
has not been able to stand prosperity.
All it has cared about has been Offices
and plenty of them-and it has not
cared how it got them. That the Dem
ocratic members of the Legislature have
not appropriated every office in sight
within the boundaries of the State, has
been owing simply to the fact that they
finally got to quarreling among them
selves; and, "when rogues fall out,
honest men get their own" And then,
before the contemplated depredations
could be fully completed, the public
watch dogs became aroused, and there
was such maifestation of indignant
wrath that the despoilers became alarmed
and fled.
The times are auspicious for the get
ting together of Ohio Republicans. They
can and they must give the Republican
State ticket smashing majority next
November, and also carry majority of
the Congressional districts, even as they
have been so grotesquely but outrage
ously gerrymandered.

GEORGE WASHINGTON AND MEM
ORAL DAY"

From a Topic of the Time, in The
Century for May, we quote as follows:
The intrusion of a mass of new Wash
ington material into a number of The
Century intended to be in especial keep
ing with the sentiment of Decoration
or Memorial Day, is surely not an in
appropriate or unwelcome intrusion. In
bringing out, just year after the Gen.
tennial of Washington's Inauguration,
these relics of the first President, it is
well to recall once more the salutary
fact that the first soldier of the New
World remains also its first citizen.
As soldier, it is easy to see that his
greatness consisted largely in the way
he received disaster. He proved his no.
bility in rising above defeat, in wrench
ing success from failure; in keeping an
1mmovable front against reverse, de-
traction, and Infamous abuse His life
was long a struggle; not, as to superb
cial view it might seem, series of mere
fortunate successes. High character,
rather than "good LUCK" was his immor-
tai equipment.
But it is as citizen that Washington
gives what may be thought to be the
most valuable lesson Of his career-the
lesson of absolute disinterestedness. Let
those who preach, who teach, who vote,
make the contrast on all occasions be-
tween the tone of Washington and that
of every public man of to-day who falls
below his standard. The standard is
not too high for any man. Washington
was no angel, saint, or demigod. We
have a right to exact from every man
who takes public service equal public
virtue. The people do this theoretically,
# not practically, already; but we will
not have city, State, OF national govern
nent what it should be till we make the
demand in practice as well as in theory.

THE American Treaty recommended
by the Pan-American Congress has
already received the signatures of the
accredited representatives of nine Gov
ernments. Three additional signatures
are promised, so that two thirds of the
Governments on this continent are al
ready practically committed to the policy
of arbitration. The United States and
Brazil have lent their authority to this
great moral movement for the abolition
of war, and the force of their example
will inevitably have determining weight
in securing the general adoption of the
arbitration system. The only Govern
ments which are likely to offer resistance
to this pacific scheme are those of Chill
and the Argentine Confederation; but
the moral force of united American
opinion must in the end prevail. The
United States and Brazil, having taken
the initiative, can impart a powerful
impulse to the International movement
by prompt and decisive action in ratify-
ing the treaty The traaty when
signed is referred to the Governments
for approval or rejection.

ARKANSAS POLITICAL MURDER.

ARKANSAS POLITICAL MURDER
New York Press.
A remarkable admission has beer
made by Gov. Eagle, of Arkansas, to
the Congressional committee which is
investigating the assassination of Col.
John NJ. Clayton, being an acknowledge
ment that he believes that the Plummer-
vile ballot box thieves are the men who
murdered him. Fearing detection, they
covered their political crime with po-
litical assassination. The reason this
admission is remarkable is because
Gov. Eagle and the Arkansas authOri-
ties have acted with the utmost supine-
ness in reference to the apprehension
and punishment of the murderers. Mon
ey contributed to pursue the criminals
and placed in his hands for use was, ac-
cording to his testimony, returned to the
contributors, instead of being spent for
the desired object, and the whole course
of proceedings has been of the same
pattern. The evidence now being elicit
GU at lIlGtlC IeOCh dGCo IIl1G OlC
murderers have to moral certainty been
known from the date of the tragedy,
but have been shielded by public senti-
ment from arrest and punishment.
The community did not want Clayton's
murder avenged, because he was only
who, in their theory and
belief, had no excuse for demanding his
rights or seeking to obtain them. Gov.
Eagles reflection is the most severe COM
mentary on the political morality of the
South under existing conditions that
has yet been made by any one or from
any source.

McKINLEY's GRACIOUS ACT.

~ yield to the gentleman from Penn
sylvania fifteen minutes of my time"
1t was one of the most dramatic
scenes ever enacted in the House OF
Representative. The sick, feeble and
failing gentleman from Pennsylvania,
respected and honored by all men of
both parties, Hon. Samuel J. Randall,
was asking fifteen minutes extension
of his time, in order that he might de-
liver the concluding portion of his tariff
speech, which was against the policy of
his party. Mr.. Mills, of Texas, the lead
er of his party, hurried down the aisle
and shouted, II object" and that one OBJ
lection prevented the "unanimous con-
sent" which was asked by the distin-
guished Mr.. Randall. The ex-Speaker
did not turn his head to look at the OBJ
jector, nor appeal for consideration at
his hands; but quietly sank into his seat,
humiliated, but uncomplaining. The next
speaker on the list for that day was
Hon. VIM. Mckinley, Jr., of Ohio. He
Immediately arose, and said in a clear
ringing voice: "Mr. Speaker, yield to
the gentleman from Pennsylvania, fif-
teen minutes of my time" Immedi-
ately there broke forth a storm of ap-
plause from all over the House, both on
the floor and in the galleries. 1t was
one of the most gracious deeds of Nc
Kinley's life. Mr.. Randall proceeded
with his speech and finished it, after
most eloquently expressing his appreei-
ton of the courtesy of the young gen
tleman from Ohio.
