THE INTERIOR JOURNAL is very
free to say that if it had the power, il
would not hesitate to throw out the en-
tire vote of the city of Louisville, be
cause of the presence of the military
ard the U. S. marshals, for the pur-
pose of intimidation and TO brighten
timid people from voting. 1t would
also throw out every tissue ballot cast
and count the vote as the election Of
ticers In Knox say il should be, instead
of as they were ordered to certify IL by
Judge, who exceeded his power In
other words we would fight the devil
with fire and show the republicans and
Brownies that the democrats have
rights, which they will maintain at all
hazards. II, after the returns of the
election are purged OF fraudulent votes.
there appears TO be plurality for Sem
ator Goebel, we would issue the cer-
tificate of election TO him, confident
that when that is done he will be in
augurated, the bluff and buster of
certain cowardly republicans TO the
contrary. On the other hand if II is
shown that Taylor is the honest choice
of the people, we would award him the
certificate and assist ia his inaugura,
tion. We are for the right at al.
times, but we reserve 10 ourselves the
decision of the question OF what is
right and shall never refer IL 20 our
enemies. Let the State election com
missioners do their duty as they see il
and let the consequences take care Of
themselves.

THE people of the United States arr

quently waste their honors on objects
which are decidedly clayey 10 theil
nature. They went wild over George
Dewey, who happened to whip an In
ferior navy In Manila bay, aud sloboer
ed all over him when he returned tc
this country. Some went so far as tc
contribute largely to fund to buy him
a house. notwithstanding he Is getting
$4,000 year and will get almost as
much the rest Of his life after he Is re
tired. In addition he is to get many
thousands in prize money, placing him
far above any possibilities OF want or
the necessity of passing around the
hat. There were people who thought
the admiral was above accepting the
gilt of the house, but he soon gave out
that Barkis was more than willing.
The house was bought at a cost of Sj5,-
600 aud presented to him. Decencv, If
there is ATTY decency to be expected
from man who would accept such a
gif:, would have required that be keep
it at least until some people would for
get how he got IL. but IL didn't. Tues
day he gave il to his wife, who. in turn,
presented it to his son aud now some of
those who contributed to the purchase
Of the magnificent house and lot in
Washington, are clamorlng for the re-
turn of their money. They don't de-
serve to get it back aud won't, but they
will learn lesson that all is not gold
that glitters and that it is not well TO
be too hasty 10 making heroes, unless
they wish to find them clay.
1t is charged and denied that the
transfer was made in order that the
property might be free from a possible
judgment for a breach of promise of
marriage, for which suit is TO be
brought by New Albany, Ind, wom-
an, but the story is improbable. 1t is
further said that Dewey has divers and
sundry debts that the property would
have been good for, had it remained
in his name.
In contrast with Dewey. compare
glorious old Gems. John B. Gordon and
Wade Hampton. Both we're recently
burned out Of house and home, and
when the Confederate Veterans AS
ISOLATION offered to raise the money to
rebuild their homes ant set them on
foot again, they courteously and firm
ly declined, saying that they could |
still make their own living and would |
not be pensioners on their comrades. |
Gordon and Hampton are made of
the real stuff and have proved them
selves heroes brave and true. Dewey
seems to be made of the spurious ar
ticie.
