THERE HAS been at least one demo-
cratic Office holder under the present
administration who holds his personal
liberty and citizens rights at higher
valuation than his official salary. The
Attorney General has received a letter
from ]. Adam Bede, U. S. marshal of
Minnesota, rendering his resignation, on
the ground that he cannot consistently
comply with the Presidents letter in
regard to federal Office holders taking
part in political campaigns. Mr.. Olney
has not added to his laurels by accept
ing the resignation. Why Mr.. Bede'
after Office hours, shouldn't have the
liberty, allowed all his other unimpris-
oned citizens, of makinga speech
in favor of his friend, of his party, and
of the political principles in which he
believes, the Attorney General, nor
any body else, can tell, except mug
wumps to whom common sense has
been denied.

Governor of that State, against the reg
ularly nominated democratic candl'
date, Senator Hill, says: 81 think Mr.
Cleveland regards me as just as good q
democrat as Mr.. Hill, and I think he

No reasonable democrat can deny that
Mr.. Cleveland, who was nominated for
the Presidency by regular democratic
convention, and was elected by the
votes and work of hundreds of thou,
sands of democrats who were not
in favor of his nomination, should, for
the sake of his own reputation, not
merely as politician, but as man,
let the people of his State, who will
cast their ballots two weeks from to-
morrow, know whether he favors the
regular democratic ticket, or that OF the
boilers, which was nominated for the
sole purpose ofdefeating it and electing
the republican candidates. And he
should do at once.

SHE AssA1LED A B1sHop.-A panic

SHE AssA1LED A BIsHoP.-A panic
was narrowly averted in the Moravian
Church at Bethlehem, Pa, yesterday.
Miss Webster, a travelling evangelist,
marched up to the pulpit where Bishop
lowering was preaching and in loud
voice ordered him to stop and vacate
the pulpit. She declared she had been
sent by God to preach the sermon. At
tempts to quiet her were useless and an
exciting struggle with her began
when three men tried to put her
out. Miss Webster loudly protest
ed that she had been sent by God
and panic almost seized the con-
gregation. Two policemen arrived and
took the woman to the police station.
Miss Webster has been giving talks on
the Bible there lately. She was releas-
ed last night and began haranguing a
crowd on the streets and was finally
taken in charge by friends.

The OBSERVANCE of the law is the
desire of all good citizens, for the le-
gitimate effect Of its non-observance is
anarchy, sooner or later. But present
facts are infinitely more impressive
upon the popular mind than theories
concerning the future. Looked at in
this light, wrong as it is, the Maryland.
is evidently better than the Ohio meth
cd of settling accounts with negro
brutes who commit outrages upon
~hite women, for the former is speedy
and costless, and nobody suffers except
the guilty and worthless wretch;
whereas in the latter, there is long
delay, great expense, and the killing
and wounding of number of honest
and industrious white men, upon whom
others were dependent for their living.

Messrs. Harper & Brothers announce
that over 100000 copies of The Prince
of India, General Lew Wallace's latest
Oriental and religious romance, have
been sold since its publication by them
last August. That within only about
four months work of fiction, in two
volumes, issued in comparatively an
expensive edition, and published dur
ing a geriod of great financial depres-
sion should meet with such remarkable
sale is an extraordinary circumstance
perhaps without precedent. There
is certainly reason to think that the
Prince of India will exceed in its re-
markable measure of popular approval
the famous record of General Wallace's

The New York World, an able Demo-
cratic paper, favors an income tax. 1t
says:
"Under our present system of federal
taxation poor people are plucked both
ways. The tariff taxes chiefly the nee
essaries of the poor-food, fuel, cloth
ing and shelter. The internal revenue
system taxes the luxuries of the poor
tobacco, beer and whiskey. The spec
ial taxes upon the rich have nearly all
been abolished. Four -fifths of the rev.
enue of the government is collected
from the consumption of the people
who are poor or who have only moder-
ate means. They pay out of all pro-
portion to their ability to pay or to the
benefits which they receive. 1t is time
to untax at least the necessaries of the
poor, and to take a more just tribute
from the luxuries of the rich as repre-
sented by large incomes"

Corbett and Mitchell.

We must admit, however, much as
we detest prize-fghting, that If such
fighting ever could be justified it is
when it shows the superiority of man
who does not drink liquor and "blow
in" his money in carousing with "the
boys" over a man who finds his highest
pleasure in such dissipation. Corbett
has rendered himself very unpopular
with the gang because of his abstinent
habits. After the fight, the winner is
expected to celebrate by a glorious
drunk" in which all his friends par
ticipate at his expense. But Corbett
isn't just that sort of sport, and he is
spoken of as the "dude," as Gentle
man Jim," etc. His opponent, Mitch
ell, is the usual style of tough, getting
drunk between fights, la Sullivan,
and even using beer during his train
ing, drinking couple of bottles the
night before the fight. An amusing
incident of the fight was the sending
of bottle of Kentucky whisky, 100
years old, by the distillers to MItchelrs
trainer, with note assuring him that
if Mitchell used that whisky during
the fight he was sure to win; and the
reply of the trainer after the fight:
whisky wasn't old enough" The to-
tai abstainer knocked out the other
fellow in just three rounds and left
him senseless in the ring.-The Voice.
