sPEcKED PEACHES.


There is some difficulty In understand
log the character Of Colonel Breckin.
ridge There is great deal Of difficulty
IN explaining his actions. Taking his
actions and character together they pre-
sent inconsistent phenomena, which
ignorant men do not try to understand,
which base men condemn without mercy,
and for which pure women consign him
to Hades, with the usual fury Of bigots.
But there have been many such men as
Breckinridge before Strange TO say,
many greater men and many better men
than he have committed greater crimes.
II is commonly known that DR.. Johnson
spoke Of Sir Francis Bacon as "tbe wis
est and meanest OF mankind" That was
true While Bacon possessed learning
scarcely comprehended now. he was the
fawning and sycophantic courtier Of a
dissolute court almost too contemplate
20 notice. The inconsistent phenomena
In his case were very much more con-
s1icuous and lnexplcsble than those pre-.
sented In the case Of Colonel BreclSin-
ridge
But there is still worse character,
that Of Potemkin, the favorite Of Gather.
rlne II, OF Russia. There Is no character
In history more contradictory than his.
In one person he united some Of tie
best as we'll as the worst characteristics
Of human nature. The contradictions
between his greatness and his meanness,
his frmness and his fckleness were
startling. In viewing his character It is
difficult to say whether admiration is
greater than aversion. Both are wonder.
full He himself as the man uniting
those contradictory qualities, is one OF
the marvels Of history
Now it Is wise for us to take men as
We find them. We must lweigh their
characters; balance in them, with the
utmost kindness and good Judgment, the
good against the evil, and be too careful,
too kindly and too wise to reject the
good for little bad.

this city was making repairs on the stoop
Of his employers mansion he found a bomb
concealed under the doorsteps. He remov

were burned and charred to within about
an inch Of the explosive, if such the bomb
contains.
Mr.. William Strange is the head Of the

When their weavers demanded an increase

A Psychological PROBLEM.


Mills, Secretary Carlisle and Ambassador
Bsyard ere pretty well-known as Demo
Gratis, but we do not remember when any
one Of them ever received the spon
taneous, unanimous, generous and
prompt praise Of the Republican press
to such degree, or TO any degree, with
which the statesman with the label 81 am
d Democrat" has been rewarded. He occu
pies the noble position Of a witness who
has turned states evidence
Senator Gray or Ambassador Bayard
could not do anything, they never did
anything, to win such thunder showers
OF applause. They have been pretty
faithful and sensible statesmen, too.
Their ability is conceded, but the Re
publicans esteem Senator HUI hi CHER
infinitely higher.
Now there is something curious about
this phenomenon. The man who
Is so radical, so loyal. so true
to the principles, the candidates and
to the officers Of the Democratic party
that he walks abroad as the sandwich
man Of the party proclaiming Il am a
Democrat" is the man the Republicans
love best He Is the crusader who, with
that Plous Knight General Harrison. was
chosen TO march against the Saraceus Of
New York In 1888. where Warner Miller
"a good Republican Chrlstian-"fell
just outside the breast works"
1t isa problem in psychology how the
man who is most radical and blgoted in
the principles they hate can be the most
lovely man TO the Republicans. The So
luton Of this psychological problem is
inevitably uuoomplimentary either to the
Republicans or 10 Senator Hill.
They cannot love the man for loving
the things which they hate. and hate the
men for hating the principles, or lack of
principle, which they hate too. Neither
can Senator Hill make himself lovable to
the Republicans by being loyal to
Democracy. The banner carrier, the
sandwich man who carries the sign
board Of Democracy, would naturally be
kicked out OF the store Of a
rival where other goods and
wares were sold - an exhorter of
another religion who came into camp
meeting OF Ann-White Adventists
would not be received with loud peans Of
applauding praise But the Republicans
have welcomed Senator Hill with open
arms and resounding shouts. They mnst
like that sort Of thing; he must do
something TO make them like that sort
Of thing.
When. Matt Qusy or the guileless
Tony Higgins strays over to our side we
bear the honor philosopically; we lust
push, don't shove" to get room TO shout
and dance about it. II we take on at all
we do it mildly, quietly, and if possible
secretly.
The fact Is we are little suspicious
that we may have made mistake in
proposing to do anything that would at
tract that sort Of support We feel as a
good Methodist brother might feel If he
opened his eyes after praying to see
Professor Satan sitting beside him at q
love feast. We doubt the professors
reformation; but we are scared out Of
our wits because he sits by us. There is
too lively a suggestion of a birthstone
future about him. We do not like the
Devil, and we tremble for fear that he
likes us; that he finds us so agreeable
