one day, while updating with him of his future. "I shall remove to JJaltimoro and give tip politics." "You will make a great mistake." replied Mr. Cameron. "There is no leading man but you in the State and you can be made United States Senator." 'Never, never," said Mr. Buchanan, thoughtfully. I am an old Federalist, and Pennsylvania will never support me." I tell you It can bo done," replied Cameron; but Buchanan shook his head. Before tbe two parted, however, Cameron had agreed to join Buchanan at York in a few days and go with him to Washington to pay nis respects to the President, before his carrying out the determination to leave Pennsylvania, Mr. Cameron, tilled with the idea of keeping Buchanan in the State, invited Henry Petriken, Samuel J. Packer, Charles B. Penrose and James Thompson, all of whom were State Senators, to go to

"Washington with Mr. Buchanan and himself. Packer and James Thompson were printers, and had been apprentices with General Cameron. Thompson was afterward justice of the Snpreme Court. They all met at Middletown, and spent tbe night at General Cameron's house. The next day they crossed the river in a skiff, took the stage and started for Washington. At York thev met Mr. Buchanan by appointment, Mr. Cameron presented the four Senators, and the six journeyed together. While on the road and all in good humor, Mr. Cameron laid to the State Senators, who were powerful in the councils of their party, that Buchanan must not be permitted to leave the State, but must be elected Senator. All itrreed to the proposition and pledged themselves to work for that end. They remained in Washington a number f days, and had a great rouad of enjoyment. They were dined by President Jackson, Martin Van Buren. and nearly all the other dignitaries. One morning, after a night's frolic, while Mr. Cameron was lying in bed, troubled with the problems of business and politics; and wondering how to make Buchanan Senator, William Wilkins, then United States Senator from Pennsylvania, was announced. He had been the choice of the State for Vice-president at the time Mr. Cameron organized the delegation to the national convention which nominated Mr. Van Buren, and ho always accused Cameron of defeating him for the place. "I have come to ask you to do me a favor," said he to Mr. Cameron, as soon as he was seated. "I am poor and in debt at home. I am not able to live here as becomes a Senator. If I could be made minister to Russia in place of Buchanan, who has just resigned, I would get $ 5,000 for an outfit, and be able to save something from my salary." This opened the way for Buchanan, and Mr. Cameron agreed to take the matter into consideration and to give him all the snpport ho could for the place. After breakfast, that very dav, he and the four Senators met, went to the President, urged the appointment, and it was made almost immediately. When General Jackson named Mr. Wilkins as minister to Russia he resigned his seat in the Senate. The Legislature had finished the winter's session, and the whole summer and fall crave ample opportunity to work for Mr. Buchanan's election as Mr. Wilkius's successor. Carefully and adroitly it was done, and when the Legislature met next winter he was elected. This was the stepping-stone to the presidency. Had it not been for General Cameron's action he would have left the State, and, doubtless, would never again have entered public life. Ho was reelected twice to the Senate after this without trouble. Mr. Cameron's return to the Senate again brought him prominently before the public and made him a target for the abuse of his enemies and the applause of his friends. In tho political movements which preceded the cauipaisru of lbOO Mr. Cameron was named as the choice of his State for the presidency, and his name early associated with that of Mr. Lincoln in connection with the presidential ticket. The Pennsylvania State convention instructed its delegates to the national convention to vote as a unit for Cameron, and long before the convention met Cameron and Lincoln clnbs had been formed in many sections of the West. When the convention met his opponents divided the delegation, but Mr. Cameror, friends controlled its action and, lidding his cbauces gone, named Mr. Lincoln as its choice for the presidency, and he was nominated. The campaign which followed,when Pennsylvania virtually decided that memorable presidential contest by electing Governor Curtin in October, was full of incidents of the most striking character. The election of Mr. Lincoln and the change in the political, complexion of the government marked a new and important milestone in General Cameron's career. Before his inauguration Mr. Lincoln sent for Mr. Cameron to come to Springfield for a conference. He went, and they discussed tho situation in all its bearings. Mr. Lincoln had previously plated at Mr. Cameron's disposal the secretaryship of the Treasury when his Cabinet should be formed. At this conference Mr. Lincoln said: 'Chase is a very ambitious man, and is being strongly urged for a place in the Cabinet." "The War Department is the place for a man who desires to make a great reputation " was the reply. Why!" asked Mr. Lincoln. "Because we are going to have war," replied Mr. Cameron. "Your election will precipitate a civil war, and a man who is ambitious can make all the reputation he wants at the. head of the War Office." Mr. Lincoln scouted tho idea that there was any danger whatever of a conllict. and placed at Mr. Caiueron'a disposal either the Treasury or the War Department. Mr. Cameron refused to name which he preferred, and when the Cabinet was organized ho was made Secretary of War. He grasped the duties of that department with a bold vigor that soon got him into trouble. Seward had promised to give up the Southern forts to tho rebels. There was hesitating delay all around, and none of the Cabinet, save Air. Cameron and Montgomery Blair, had any conception of the magnitude of the rebellion against national authority. Most of them were for concessions and compromises, in the hope of averting war. But while they were dallying with the questions that arose, aud dealing with great problems upon the plane of political intrigue, Mr. Cameron prepared for a long and stubborn conllict. " As Secretary of War ho entered into large contracts for clothing, arms, wagons and all t he appliances of modern warfare. Seward remonstrated. Chase was frightened at the expense, and nearly tho whole Cabinet proclaimed that Cameron's aggressive attitnde would ilrive the border States out of the Union. From tho moment General Cameron came into tho War Office, he and Edwin M. Stanton became friends, and Stanton advised him upon all the legal questions which arose in the administration of his office, and they were many and important. With this strong legal and friendly mind close at hand, he went on preparing for war. One of Mr. Cameron's early acts was to aeize tho Baltimoro & Ohio railroad, which was m the hands of rebel sympathizers, and to open up a line of communication with Washington by way of Annapolis. In July, IStil, Senator Grimes, of Iowa, who was chairman of the Senate committee on the District of Columbia, came to Mr. Cameron and caid that the prisons about AVashingtou were tilled with negroes, run away slaves and supposed runaways, and that it was a great problem as to what should be done with them. "Release them," was General Cameron's prompt reply. "But we have no authority." "I will take tho responsibility and give ypu the authority. I will, to-morrow morning, send you an order from the War Department opening the prison pens, and letting these slaves out. They eau be made available for work on the fortifications." The next morning was the Fourth of July, and not long after the sun was up on that memorable natal day which closed over the first defeat of the Union troops at Bull Run, General Cameron issued the order, the pens were opened and the slaves were feet free. From the hour Mr. Cameron came into the War Department he was in favor of proclaiming the freedom of the slaves and of enlisting them as soldiers in the Union cause. When he had been in ofiice seven months, his annual report, prepared for Congress Dec. 1, snows that he had organized an army of 718.512 troops. This exceeded by more than "18.000 tho number of men provided by law. And this was one of the complaints those who believed in dallying with the Confederacy brought ugaiust him. In his annual report, as originally prepared, ho officially advised the recruiting of negroes for service in the war, in the following words: It ! vain and Kile for the government to carry on this war, or hope to maintain its existence AgainAt rebellious force, without employing all tbe rights and powers of war. An has been said, the rltfht to deprive the rebels of their property 1a tUTM and siuYe labor la as clear and abtgluta

as the right to take forage from the field, or cotton from the warehouse, or powder and arms from the magazine. To leave the enemy In the possession of such property as forage and cotton and military stores, and the roeaus of eonstantly reproducing them, would be madness. It is, therefore, equal madness to leave them in peaceful and secure possession of slave property, more valuable and efficient to them for war than forage, cotton and military stores. Such policy would be national suicide. What to do with that species of property Is a question that time and circumstances will solve, and need not be anticipated further than to repeat that they cannot ins held by tho government as slaves. It would be useless to keep them as prisoners of wan and self-preservation, the hizhest duty of a covernmnt, or of individuals, demands that they should be disposed of or employed in the most effective manner that will tend most speedily to suppress the insurrection and restore the authority of tho government. If it shall be found that the men who have been held by the rebels as slaves are cappf & hear

ing arms and performing etneient iniVwtry service", it Is the right, and may become the duty, of the government to arm and equip them, and employ" their services against the rebels, under proper military regulation, discipline ana command. Uut in whatever manner thev may be used by the government it is plain that, once liberated by tne rebellious act of their masters, tney suoum never again be restored to bondage. By the master's treason and rebellion he forfeits all riifht to the labor and service of his slave; and the slave of the rebellious master, by his service to the government, becomes justly entitled to freedom and protection. The disposition to be made of the slaves of rebels after the close of the war can be safely left to the wisdom and patriotism of Congres. The representatives of the people will unquestionably secure to the loyal slaveholders every right to which they are entitled under the Constitution of the country. This was the bomb-shell which nearly ex ploded the Cabinet. But Mr. Cameron stood to his position, and the argument upon it was exceedingly acrimonious. When Mr. Cameron went to Russia and presented his credentials to the Czar he took occasion, in his speech, to compliment the reigning power of that country upon having emancipated the serfs. lie said his country would soon do the same act of justice to those in bondage in this country. When Mr. Cameron siiowea tne a ran or this speech to Bayard Taylor, whom he had appointed secretary of his legation, Taylor advised bim not to makeJt. for he thought it would provoke his recall. Mr. Cameron said, however, that he felt impelled to make those remarks, and that if recalled lor doing it he would be proud to be displaced for such an act. There has been much dispute as to how Mr. Stanton became Secretary of War. The truth is. as furnished by Mr. Lincoln himself, that when Mr. Cameron had decided to accept the mission to St. Petersburg, Mr. Lincoln asked Mr. Cameron: "Who shall I make your successor?" Cameron replied: "You ought to care for Pennsylvania. Edwin M. Stanton should be the man." "But I had thought of naming another man," replied Lincoln. "It is due to me that a friend of mine should succeed, me: or, at least, one not unfriendly to me. By naming Stanton you please our State, and get a splendid officer," replied Mr. Cameron. "Very well. You may say to Stanton that ho shall have your place if he will accept it; and I will send in both of your names at once," said Lincoln. Cameron walked over to the Treasury Department; went to see Mr. Chase; informed him that he had decided to resign and accent the mission to Russia, and that he was then on his way to inform his successor of his plans. "Who is he!" asked Mr. Chase. "Stanton, of course," was Mr. Cameron's reply. "Let's send for him to come hero," replied Chase, "and we will talk the subject over together." A messenger was accordingly sent for Mr. Stanton, who came in. when Mr. Cameron informed him of his talk with Mr. Lincoln, and that he was authorized to oiler him the place of Secretary of War. Mr. Stanton accepted, and the two went to Mr. Lincoln, and the next day the two names were sent to tho Senate. Stanton was immediately confirmed, but there was an effort made to defeat Mr. Cameron's con firmation. It is evident from the facts that have sifted through tho mist of years that when Mr. Stanton succeeded Senator Cameron he at first found the same intluences arrayed against him that had made Mr. Cameron's star in the War Olliee uncomfortable. Mr. Stanton wrote to a personal friend a short time after his assumption of tho duties of the oilice, in which he said: The Cabinet is quarreling over Cameron's nigner policy, and divided upon the question of the vigorous prosecution or the war. The timid sentiment in the Cabinet which had objected to Mr. Cameron's ex tensive preparations for war forced Mr. Stanton to annul many of the contracts Mr. Cameron had made for supplies and munitions of war; but it is a' great tribute to Mr. Cameron's foresight to bo able to record the fact that in less than a year afterward Mr. Stanton was forced to renew every contract annulled, and, in many cases, to pay three times the price for tho articles required for the prosecution of the war over tne price named in the contracts Mr. Cameron liad made. There never was. however, any misunderstanding between Mr. Camerou and Air. Stantou. lie went into the office as Mr. Cameron's friend, and remained so as long as he lived. Mr. Cameron's service in Russia was not eventful or pleasant to htm. lie soon tired of life in Kurope, and the conspiracy to pre vent Mr. Lincoln's renomination by Sew ard, Chase, and a large number of others. most of whom had been opposed to Mr. Cameron's war policy, having become pub lic, Mr. Cameron asked permission to come home. lie arrived to find his chief in creat distress lest the element of tho Republican party seeking his defeat would succoed. After a conference with Mr. Cameron it was decided to tret an overwhelming public exnression in favor of Mr. Lincoln before the nominating convention took place. Tho plan Mr. Cameron suggested, and the one i i , i i i i a. - . - reference to Andrew Jackson's second term, w in c ii lie iiau ue.peu iu iuu y miu cucci iu was to have each State Legislature join in a request to Mr. Lincoln to become a candi date for renomination. Mr. Cameron started with Pennsylvania, and then reached out into the otherStatcs. State after State followed Pennsylvania in the demand for Mr. Lincoln's re-election, and one day. when Mr. Cameron came to the White House to attend a reception Mr. Lincoln was giving, he found him in great glee, and as he saw tho veteran pushing towards him he held up his hand and said: "Cameron, three more states have come in to-day." "Well, I guess that'a all you want," rePlied Cameron. Each day brought fresh returns from the States, until nearly all had spoken with unmistakable voice in favor of Mr. Lincoln's renomination. In all this business Mr. Cameron s arts as a politician wero eraE loved, not only to help Mr. Lincoln, who ad always been his friend, but to show the men who had made his stay in the Cabinet uncomfortable their weakness with the people. In all the years which followed Mr. Lincoln's second election, Mr. Cameron took but a quiet part in the politics of the conntrv. In 1SI7 he was retnrned to the Senate, and was a conspicuous figure in that bodv until 157G, when ho resigned, and his sou Don was elected to his place. These two men, who have held such a strong place in -1 i . 4.- i x . a tne iiisiory oi tne oiaie ami nation, are noi unlike in many things. Both possess the strong, indomitable energy and will of the Scotch race, from which thev snrnntr. Sitting r.pou his broad porch at Donegal one day, the father illustrated in a striking sentence the Uitlerence between the two. "Don has had many advantages." said he. out I naa one mat is worm more to any win otovtrtTti1.fA4lT nil V. n AVr Ti 1 it "What is that." General!" "Tho advantage of starting poor." During the administration of Andrew Johnson Mr. Cameron was without much political power, and even when General Grant first came in, ex-Governor Curtin and Colonel Forney, the old-time antago nists of General Camerou. were almost su preme in controlling federal patronage in the State. Very soon, however. General Grant turned toward Mr. Cameron as the stronger power, and from that dav to the end irieir irienusmp was very marKeu. in the controversy which arose between Gen eral Grant and Charles Sumner, General Cameron was mado to appear in the light of an antagonist to Mr. Sumner. Such was not the case. He advised against the re moval of Mr. Sumner as chairman of the committee on foreign relations, and was from the first against the assault that was made upon him. He hrst declined to suc ceed Sumner as chairman of the committee on foreiirn relations, and onlv accepted the place upon the unanimous action of his party caucus. When he retired from the Senate he re turned home, purchased tho estate upon which he died and where his grand father is buried, and amidst the scenes of his childhood, and within range o tho

points where he first made his fight with - W 1 A. - - 1

Soverty. lie tooK an important, part m leneral Garfield's election. His advice, counsel and action were important factors in that fight. When General Grant and Senator Conkling took the field to save the Republican party from defeat he was with them. In all that pertains to the good of the State or anon, or to the welfare of the Republican party, he always took a keen interest. It is too soon yet to write the story of his life. MRS. HATES STRICKEN. She Suffers a Stroke of Apoplexy, at Iter Home in Fremont, O. 5 Cleveland. O., June 21. Mrs. Hayes, the wife of ex-President Hayes, was strick en with apoplexy this afternoon. at her home in Fremont, and at 9 o'clock this evening she was un conscious. The attack came between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon, while Mrs. Hayes was sitting in her room sowing. Paralysis of the right side resulted, rendering her speechless. Medical help was at once summoned, but all efforts to restore the lady to consciousness have thus far failed. General Hayes was on his way home from Columbus at the time, and it was 5 o'clock when he arrived in Fremont. Mrs. Hayes's sons, Iiurchard and Webb, have been summoned from Toledo and Cloveland, their respective homes. A dispatch from Fremont at 1:30 a. m. (Saturday) says Mrs. Hayes's condition is unchanged. She is resting easy. PATRIOTIC SONS OP AMERICA. Colored Camps to Be Organized The Order to Be Introduced Into Every Southern State. WAsnixaTOX, June 21. -Tho Patriotic Sons of America held the final session of the cenvention this morning, and disposed of tho remaining business on hand. A res olution was adopted authorizing the appointment of a committee to revise the constitution and ritual of the order, and to frame bills to be presented to Congress asking for better immigration laws, and memorializing that body to make an appro priation sufficient to purchase and improve additional grounds at Valley Forge, to bo used in connection with that owned by the Valley Forgo Centennial Association. Congress will also be memoralized to appropriate money to purchase the Temple farm, near Yorktown, Va., where Lord Cornwallis sur rendered his army to General Washington, thus perpetuating this fact of revolutionary history forever. Tho question of the formation of colored camps was harmoniously disposed of by the adoption, unan-; imGusly, of a resolution authorizing tho organization of such camps, under the con-: trol of State national camps, to be formed; by the executive committee.

BURKE AGAIN IDENTIFIED

Martinsen, the Chicago Expressman, Ticks Him Oat of a Crowd of Prisoners. No Doubt Xow Remains that He Is One of the Murderers of Dr. Cronin The Prisoner lias a Hearing and Is Sent Back to Jail. Winnipeg, Man., June 2L The link counccting Martin Burke with the Cronin murder was completely established this evening, when Martinsen, the expressman who hauled the furniture to Carlson's cottage, and who arrived here to-day, identified Burke among fifty-two prisoners and citizens, who stood in a semi-circle in the jailyard. The identification was complete and beyond all doubt. Martinsen walked before the man and picked him out at the first glance. Chief Hubbard, of Chicago, was notified to this effect. Burko stood the ordeal well; he never flinched, and maintained the same stolid demeanor that has characterized his actions since his arrest. Bnrke was arraigned before Judge Bain under the extradition act this morning. The case was continued until Wednesday next at the request of the counsel for the prosecution, who desired to have time to bring witnesses from Chicago. The evi dence adduced before the Chicago grand jury will be submitted, here. Burke was spruced up considerably, and looked better than he did in the police station. He took the proceedings as a matter of course, and did not appear to evince any interest therein. Chief McRae says Burke's intellect is dull, and he is not capable of showing any feeling. AY hen Martensen passed down tho lines Burke stood twentieth, with his hands in his pockets and his eyes averted. Martensen glanced quickly in hisfaco, marked his number on a slip of paper and passed on. examining the faces of the other men. Alter completing tho investigation he re turned to wnere the olncers and counsel were standing, and held a whispered con versation. . Counsel Howell was heard to remark: "We are satisfied. We will not want anybody else to identify the prisoner, uui oe positive 01 tne numoer." Martensen was accompanied to Winnipeg by a police officer whose name cannot be ascertained, but who is a superior of detective Collins. Chief McRae savs thev now have clear sailing, and he believes there will be no further difficulty in presenting sufficiently strong evidence to secure Burke's extradition. Telegraphic dis patches are passing rapidly between Chief iiubbard, ot Chicago, and the officers hero. Close of the Jury Inrestlgatlon. Chicago, June 2L Tho Cronin grand jury this morning heard the testimony of Mrs. Philbin, aunt of Martin Burke, the Winnipeg suspect. Mrs. Philbin derided the idea that her nephew was a murderer. and described him as a weak and rattle brained young man who lacked the courage to engage in a plot of such a character.

IilPROPER TSE OP THE MAILS. An Alleged Swindle That Is to nave the At tention of the Postofiice Authoritiesspecial to the Iniuanapolis Jonnt-L Bloomixgtox, III., June 21. About ono year ago a great many school teachers in central Illinois received packages of ornamental cards from C. W. Slagel of Davenport, Neb. They came, in each instance. wholly unsolicited, and a number of the teachers wrote to Slagel refusing to accept them, and o tiering to return them if postage 6tamps were remitted. Some returned them, paying the postage themselves. Within the past few days thoso who thus received the cards have received letters demanding pay for the cards and threatening exposure if this demand is refused. These circulars are printed evidently with a rubber stamp in imitation of type-writer. They are headed "Nebraska Art and Publishing Company, C. W. Slagel, manager, Davenport, Neb."' Also, 'Teach ers' Herald, circulation, 10,000." ine circulars say, in part: "We have investigated this matter. The cards wo sent you a year ago. They represent hard cash. You were pleased to use the cards, and now are trying to ignoro our rights. We demand an immediate settlement. If we tail to got a settlement within a reasonable time, we will publish your record iuUhe Herald, and at the same time we will send marked copies of the Herald with your record. so that persons and business men where you are can seo how you act when you have a chance. Wo will make an example oiyou." be vera! unsophisticated voune ladv teachers have sent money to the swindler, but the majority have ignored his clumsy attempt at biacK-mail, and several nave initiated measures to bring it to a halt. His letters have been forwarded to the postal authorities, with the request that an inspector be sent to Davenport, Neb., at once. Davenport is a town of but S50 inhabitants in Thayer county, Nebraska. There is no doubt that the operations of this swindler are widespread. DAILY WEATHER BUIXETIN. Forecast.

Shot After Playing: a Fearful Game with Her Cubs. Calcutta Special In London Telegraph. The notorious Jounsar man-eating tigress has at last been killed by a young forest orticer. This tigress has been tho scourge of tho neighborhood of Chakrata for the last ten years, and her victims have been innumerable. On one occasion sho seized one of a number of foresters who wero sleeping together in a hut, carried him oil, and deliberately made him over to her cubs to play-with, wnile she protected their innocent gambols from being disturbed. His companions were eventually forced to take refuge in a tree from her savage attacks. Here they witnessed tho following ghastly tragedy: The tigress went back and stood over tho prostrate form of her victim, and purred in a catlike and self-complacent wav to her cubs, who were romping about and rolling over tho apparently lifeless body. She then lay down a few yards off, and with blinking eyes watched the gambols of her ' 3'onng progeny. In a few moments the man sat tip and tried to beat the youns brutes off. They were too young to hold him down, so he made a desperate attempt, to shako himself free, and 6tartcd off at a run; but before he had gone twenty yards the tigress bounded out and brought him back to her cubs. Once more the doomed wretch had to defend himself over again from their playful attacks. He mado renewed attempts to regain his freedom, but was seized by the old tigress and brought back each time before he had gone many yards. His groans and cries for help vert heartrending; but tho men on the tree wero paralyzed with fear, and quite unable to move. At last the tigress herself joined in the gambols of her cubs, and the wretched man was thrown about and tossed over ber head exactly as many of ns have seen our domestic cat throw rats and mice about before beginning to feed on them. Tho man's efforts at escape grew feebler. For the last timo they naw him try to get away on his hands and knees toward a largo tig; tree, with the cubs clinging to his limbs. This final attempt was as futile as the rest. The tigress bronght him back once again, and then held him down nuder her forepaws and deliberately began her living meal before their eyes. It was this formidable beast that the young Cooper's Hill oliicer and a student attacked on foot, Thev wero working up her trail fifteen yards apart when suddenly Mr. Osmaston heard his younger companion groan, and turning round saw him oorne to the ground by the tigress. Mr. Osmaston fortunately succeeded in shooting her through the spine, and a second bullet stopped her in raid-spring. Mcantimo his companion rolled over the bill, and was eventually discovered insensible a few feet away from his terrible assailant. Ho is terribly mauled, and now lies at the Chakrata Station Hospital, where hopes of his recovery are entertained. Baccalaureate, as It Were, Lincoln (Neb.) Journal. "Alexander Philologns," said the parent, in a voice sad yet stern, "vouaro aboutto gi forth into the wide world to carve out your fortune. No doubt you have beautiful dreams of what j-ou will achieve. In your mind's eye, you see yourself coming homo years from now, clad in velvet and hue linen. I trust you may come home in that way, but I fear that your garments may be composed of burlap. You coniidently expect to drive homeward down the sunlit road iu a gorgeous equipage, with servants and retainers: I trust that yon will not bo obliged to walk homeward on the tic, and get turnips from hired men to keen soul and body together. Yon scotl at tho idea, and you may scoff until tho clangor of brazen bells aunounco that the cows aro coming home. I have heard young men scoft before at words that were spired with wisdom, and 1 have seen them in after years driviug street cars and sawing wood. The fact of tho matter is, Alexander, that yon have a rashly exaggerated idea of your own importance in this dreary world, von foolishlj entertain the idea that if you wero to die to-night, the earth vould shudder and wheel backward. But it wouldn't. The sun would rise just tho same, the stars would gleam as bright'y as ever; tho creclc would gnrglo merrily on its way; thero would still be marriage and giving in mar riage. You would be laid carefully away in your nicely-tilting grave, my boy. and tho grass would grow over you, and tho brunette cow would eat the grass, and thero wouldn't be a single jolt in the wholo world because of your death. It is unfortunate that 3'ou have made up your mind that yoa know it all. When yoa have beeu jostled about a little while, you will want to go into some secluded grave-yard and weep. You will bo convinced that instead of knowing it all you don't suspect anything. Man is like a ground-hog in the path of a land-slide, Alexander. If the ground-hog has senso enough to get out of the way, it is all risht, but if it cocks itself up on its hind legs and looks wise it will bo everlastingly squelched. Republicans Didn't l'lcad Guilty. Louisville Time. Judge Woods, of tho federal court at Indianapolis, lined two men yesterday for violation of tho election laws. Both of them aro Democrat. It would be impossible to imngine an outrage against tho ballot by a Republican that Judge Woods would rule to be either a crime or a misdemeanor. Blaine was half right there is no justice iu Indiana for a Republican rascal, but plenty of it for a Democratic rascal. The Difference in the Commissions. Milwaukee Sentinel. Tho Civil-service Commission appointed by Mr. Cleveland used to m ike alleged investigations, but we recall no instance when they corrected any evil, or iusUted on a practical and sincere enforcement of the law.
