Mu6wump Bieotry.

The mugwump press occupies a posi-
ton in the newspaper world today as the
exponent Of what is known as "nasty
journalism" For lack Of principles
they have been Obliged to resort to the
cutters Of personal abuse. The first
man selected "a an object of their COM
bined attack was Postmaster General
wauamaker. For months he was sub
jected to torrent Of the most venomous
billinsgate. Nothing was too mean for
mugwump papers to say Of him. Not
outstanding this. Mr.. wanamaker con-
tinued to grow in popularity. as do all
men who are subjected to this style OF
abuse. The sense of fairness and de-
ceucy among the people came forward
to Mr. wanamaker's support. The peo-
pie discovered that he was performing
the duties Of his position in most able
wump papers soon felt the rebuke of
pnblic sentiment and desisted from their
self appointed task of mud singing.
They were losers, and had just sense
enough left to recognize the fact. Now
after q short rest they have opened up
their mud batteries upon Chairman
Quay Of the Republican National Com
mittee. But they will be the losers by
this contest as they were in the case Of
Mr.. wanamaker. The very bitterness,
and uarrowness. and nastiness of the
TRADE against Senator Quay will make
friends for him all over the country, and
he will grow stronger with the people
every day that it continues It Is Diff
cult thing for narrow intelleets to appre
ciate the fact that bitter personal abuse
Of = man h the very worst way in the
world to annihils:e him, or take away
his influence. Such warfare always in
creases the following Of the man against
whom 1t is directed The newspapers
Of the counsr y have come to recognize
this fact very generally within the last
ten years. In fact, the mugwump papers
appear to enjoy monopoly Of this mode
Of warfare At present. But this is to be
expected. They have earned the right
to march several furlongs in the rear Of
modern progress.

A dispatch from st. Petersburg makes
the startling statement that the Gar Of
Russia actually contemplstes giving his
country . new constitution which shall
be somewhere near abreast Of modern
civilization. II Is said that one Of the
measures contemplated will be the alb
clifton Of the punishment Of political
prisoners by exiting them to Siberia.
The Gar Is reported to have become
sired Of paying the despot aud living in
constant fear Of his life. He has, 1t is
said, expressed a determination to be
the ''fAther Of his people" In deed Is
well ~ 10 word. He will give them q
House Of Commons and an elective
Senate; the freedom Of the press will be
assured. and the thousands Of political
prisoners nov suffering the miseries aud
inhumanities Of the Siberian exile sys-
tenn will be called home again and ne
stored to citizenship. Such news A.
this seems almost too good to be true,

The Mississippi floods appear to be
holding on with a great deal of tenacity
this spring. Already vast amount Of
loss and suffering has occurred Many
people have lost their lives. In many
instances much suffering has occurred
from lack Of food. Had 1t not been for
the prompt and general relief measures
adopted, the loss OF life, bothIhy famine
and food. would have been terrible iu-
deed. As it is, the widespread destitu-
ton and suffering calls for relief--a call
that Congress has been prompt in an

that the waters will soon subside, but
even after the people are enabled to re-
turn again to their homes-where homes
are still spsred-they will have to suffer
from lack Of crops and from the general
havoc and ruin left behind by the
