The Doom of Bosses

The history of politics in the more in
telligent and wealthy States of the Union
for the last ten years, has emphasized the
independence of the voters and the de-
votion of the people to good government
and Republican institutions The tidal
wave that swept over New York and
Pennsylvania, in 1882, when Cleveland
carried New York by 1872 900 majority,
and Patterson Pennsylvania by $4,000,
reversing a Republican majority of SINH
lar magnitude, was the protest of the
masses against boss rule in politics. A
like rebuke was administered in Virginia
in 1889, in Pennsylvania again, in that
year, and again both in New York and
Pennsylvania in 1891. In each of these
instances the Democrats were the bene
ticiaries. In 1892, the result of the NUNS
cipal election in New York is protest Of
the same character, with the difference
that the Republicans are the gamers. In
this latter case it was the protest of the
masses, in the Democratic party against
the arbitrary methods of Elk Gov. Hill.
Controlling, absolutely, the machinery
of his party organization, he has used it
to promote his own selfish schemes, and
in disregard of the convictions of a large
element of the most intelligent following
of his party. The results of the elections
in New York State on Tuesday the list
was conclusive OF the aroused better
sent iment of the party, and the deter
mined purpose to administer q rebuke to
the men who usurp authority to consum-
mate their own advancement in defiance
of the proprieties of political contests and
the interests of the State. 1t foretells
the result of the election next November,
if the Bosses do not retire to the rear,
and leave the people free to exercise
their own judgment both in the org ami
zation and at the polls. 1t is a healthy
sign, and illustrates the loyalty of the
voters to conviction of principle and
duty, and their purpose to defend both.

Acauittal of DR.. Baker,

The protracted and sensational trial OF
DR.. Baker, at Abingdon, Va, charged
with causing his wife's death by poison,
ended last Monday with verdict of &C
quittal. The verdict was received with
the widest demonstrations of approval
by the packed courthouse, and people
of all classes and conditions Joined in
the demonstration ON the streets and
throughout the town. The Jury was
composed of citizens of Botetourt coun-
ty, who received many evidences of the
qualification of the citizens of Abingdon
and Washington county, because of
their patient and faithful service and
the conclusion they reached. Evidently
the jury did not believe the sworn state
ments of Mrs. Gilmer, and in this we
think they were right, as it was plain,
reading the evidence from this distance.
that she is of an unsettled mind.

Salutary Reforms.

The ministers of the various congrega-
| form movement in the right direction.
1t is in reference to funerals and the cere-
monies and usuages attending, incident
to death. They ask for less expensive
demonstrations on funeral occasions. The
rich can afford them, but the poor can
not: yet if the rich set the example the
poor will aspire to follow it, fearing that
not to do So would be taken by the
public as want of affection for the
dead.
A refor m in mourning apparel is sug-
gested, and the sombre vel, the cimerean
black, the simulated agony of elaborate
and costly mourning fixtures, are pro-
teste against as injurious to health, land
they might have said an invasion of
the happiness of community.
Another reform is mentioned in Balti
more, and that of in relation to funeral
sermons. and protracted services at the
grave. 1t is suggested that it would be
better for health and comfort that the
minister, as we'll as the burial services,
be conducted at the house or the church,
and that the dead be laid away as quietly
as possible and with as little expense on
the part of the living as the nature of
the case would allow. 1t is commended
that standing on the damp ground at
the grave, during the ceremonies that
are common to funerals. has caused
many deaths, and effects no possibl..
good.
We certainly concur with the Norfolk
preachers in their suggestions about
costly equippages and expensive mourn
ing attire. Both customs would be more
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance To crafty a false pride, peo-
pie, sometimes, are made to incur ex-
penses for hacks, and other appurten-
ances common to modern funerals, that
they are not able to pay and do justice
to the living 1t is for show and to con-
form to the fashion and not SO much
heart felt grief for the dead.
And SO with thick mourning wells
and deep black in all the pharaphernalia
of dress, from feet to crown. 1t is not
the evidence Of. deep sorrow. When the
heart bleeds and the grief is unaffected
and sincere, it does not ask public sym
pathy by a public sign. 1t prefers the
seclusion of home, the quiet and calm of
the hearth stone, rather than the boule-
wards and promenades. AS a rule the
mourning garb is inexpensive of what
the heart feels The secret sorrow of the
heart is Kept secret and is not Haunted
before the public in flounces and furbe-
lows and wells and drapery. Much of it is
affectation of the most transparent kind,
The dead are practically forgotten in
most cases, after the clods of the valley
have ratified over the coffin and a few
crocodile tears shed over the fresh earth
that caps the mound. The gaps among
the living their absence causes, are soon
filled up, the procession of human life
moves on and the world never stops in
its rolling motion to note the atom of
dust that has been moved from it's place
All is vanity, life is but vapor-a
passing breath, a Sigh, fitful struggle
and then to dust again.
