CARROLL & hcMllIEN, Editors and Publishers

SOME statesmen o. and editors have
shown the diJninutiyeness of their cali
Der by taking occasion on the death of
ex-President Hayes to reiterate the
palaver they mouthed in 1876. Five
Judges of the Supreme Court, five Sen
ators and five members of the lower
branch of Congress, composing a Com
mission declared by majority vote
that Hayes was elected, and he had the
best title to his seat of any man who
ever held the position. But be that as
it may, common dCcency would have
dictated that in the day of the death of
General Hayes, who by his character has
endeared himself to all respectableA Amer
leans, such narrow, spiteful talk should
cease, and the day of mourning should
not be disturbed by the braying of asses.
A few Democrats in Congress voted
against an adjournment in honor to his
memory, and they are entitled to the
eternal contempt of all loyal citizens.
The Democratic members of the Indi-
ana Legislature have forfeited the right,
if they ever possessed it, to be called
men, by tabIing motion to adjourn,
because, as one idiot said, Hayes had
never been President.
President elect Cleveland not only
showed the mapliness of his character
in paying lis tribute to the memory of
the dead statesman, but also by attend
ing the funeral expressed his contempt
for the members of his own party who
by words and acts have renewed their
calumniations ofGeneral Hayes even in
death.

JUSTICE LAMAR, of the United States
Supreme Court died suddenly at Macon,
Ga, on Monday night. He had been in
poor health for some time but no alarm
was felt and his death at this time was
totally unexpected. He was born in
1926, and during his career had served
in Congress, in the Senate, in the con-
federate army, in President Cleveland's
cabinet and lastly was appointed Su-
preme Justice by Cleveland. President
Harrison will undoubtedly fill the vacan-
cy and it is not improbable that Attorney
General Miller will be the man selected.

THOSE Southern newspapers which
during the past two weeks have been
venomously abusing General Butler and
industriously depreciating President
Hayes, are to be commended to the
northern namby pamby Democrats, who
grew furious at the least mention of
the south under its true colors. Treason
is not yet dead in the South, when pa
per can print such outrageous stuff as the
Nashville American last week printed
about General Butler. Everyone knows
what General Butler did for New Orle-
ans. He gave that nasty city such a
cleaning out as it had never known. He
ordered that women who showed by their
actions that they were not ladies should
be treated as unladylike. If General
Butler had been in control of affairs at
New Orleans since the war, that city
would not be disgrace to the country,
the home of an octopus lottery, the lurk-
ing place of terrible diseases, the lair of
the malta, and the theater of beastly
prize ring exhibitions expelled from nor
thern cities. The friends of such town
fame out in post obitum abuse of man
whom they no doubt feared in his life
time too much to abuse; and insult the
north and especially the veterans by
whom Butler was loved and revered. 1t
would be fit punishment for this vile
desecration, that the office of the Nash
vile American should be looted by pat
riotic veterans, if there are any in its
vicinity.

A BILL is now pending in the lower
branch of the Legislature repeating the
CARRIER salary law and substituting in
its stead fee system which will give
the county officers about the same sal
aries as those secured under the CARRIER
law. We have not examined the bill,
but, as we understand it, the principle
is right and will benefit the taxpayers
if enacted into law. No system is just
which makes litigant pay premium
for going into court, yet such is the eff
feet of the CARRIER law. The McGreW
bill reduces the fees considerably from
what they were under the old system
and is what the tax payers have been
demanding.

To THE displeasure of thousands OF
Democrats President elect Cleveland has
shown his hand in notifying committee
in Congress, in whose hands there is a
bill suspending the Civil Service law
for one year, that the bill would be
killed if his wishes were consulted. 1t
is also stated that the President elect
remarked that it would please him if
President Harrison placed every branch
of the government under the Civil
Service rules. 1t seems that the pros
pect is not bright for many would be
office holders.

CONGRESS has been in session for two
months, and if anything has been ac-
complished in that time it has not been
recorded. From the actions of our leg
islative bodies it would seem that they
are given too much latitude in regard to
the time they may occupy with their
sessions. The practice of speechmaking
in Congress ought to be abolished by
constitutional amendment, and deprived
of that means of consuming time, our
legislators might get down and dc
something. But, thank God, this Con-
gress will expire by limitation in anoth-
er month
