But the process in the past, of turning men out and putting men had been a scandal and a shame to the Republican adminis-' tration of the country, and had become intolerable to the majority of the Republican party in his own Cleve. state. It is not necersary to repeat that history. -George F. Hoar in the Senato, Feb.
v. TIMELY COMMENT. The Buffalo commissioner who offered a congressman a bribe to get a bill out of committee made a mistake. He happened to write to a Democrat, the scheme was promptly exposed and the commissioner removed from office. People who have jobs to work through congress cannot be too particular about: learning a menber's politics.
No Republican was ever known to give a thing away like that. Billy Taylor must look to. his laurels. The independent people's labor party has a threatening rival in the Greenback labor party of New York, which the Graphic says is composed of one George O. Jones, who is the whole national committee and party also and "can assemble himself with more equanimity than a fly in a bucket of tar and figure out more voting force on paper than any man in America." The net result of one whole day's work of 400 hunters of two Indiana towns was one small The associated press telegraphs the circ*mstance from ocean to ocean.
The highly valuable information contained in the dispatch may serve a useful purpose as the keel of a conundrum: If it takes 400 Hoosiers one day to catch one fox how long will it take Harrison to catch enough to fill his cabinet? Through an unaccountable oversight the St. Louis Globe- Democrat's editorial upon party of assassination" makes no mention of (tuiteau. The only trust organized yesterday was that of the manufacturers of stoves. But then it was rather a cold day for trusts.

Foraker prepared his annual message represents the excess of expenditures over revenues during the three years of his administration, while the $250,000 borrowed on the sly enabled him to point to a balance in the treasury. East Liverpool is a driving, thriving Ohio town and yet it has its daily Crisis. It is worthy of as showing a difference of opinion if nothing more, that while committee of the Ohio general assembly has decided to report adversely to the pasBage of the Monnot. bill to cheapen public school text books a committee of the l'ennsylvania legislature has reported favorably. upon a similar bill.
"The chaplain pro tem. of the New York senate who warned Omniscience to beware of political gamblers was jealous of the notoriety achieved by the unidentified Co. Jumbus parson who notified the Deity that the Ohio general assembly is a heterogenous aggregation of humanity ill fitted for legislation. The treasury experts who have been examining the senate tariff schedule have found that under it duties would be raised instead of reduced and the treasury surplus would increase instead of diminish. This is precisely what the.

There was an interesting episode in the senate proceedings Thursday afternoon: The civil service appropriation bill was under discussion, the pending amendment being one to provide additional clerks for the civil service commission, growing, out of the extension classification rules to the postal Senator Chandler led off the debate on the part of the Republicang in opposition to.
the appropriation. The New Hampshire senator made no secret of his disgust at the president's action in balking the Republican spoils hunt- CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER, FRIDAY; FEBRUARY-8, FEBRUARY-8, 1839 ers of part of their expected booty. He denounced the extension of the rules to the postal service just as the new Republican administration was about ready to: swoop down on' the service and apportion the spoils among its partisan supporters. lIe the wishes. of that of Republicans he 80 fitly represents by saying he hopes one of the first acts of the new administration will to "get rid of the disreputable and petent postal.
clerks appointed since March, 1885.1 Senator Chandler is one of that class of Republicans who profess to believe that every Democrat in office is "disreputable and incompetent," whilst every Republican in office--if belonging to the same faction--is worthy and competent. He for a "clean sweep," rules or no rules. The greater number of Republican senators who spoke were evidently of the same opinion, though "none of them had the brutal frankness in avowing it of the New Hampshire senator. There was a surprise when Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. began his remarks and the surprise turned to deep disgust on the Republican side as he went on.
Ile warm-: ly defended the action of President Cleve-: land in extending the civil service rules the postal clerks, no matter whether it came. late or early. He disclaimed any idea of arrogating to the Republicans all the political virtues and denying any to Democrats. Then he went on to say -and it was wonder his New Iampshire colleague refrained from hurling book at his head -that "the process in the past of turning men out and putting men in bad been a scandal, and a "shame to the Republican administration of the couutry and had be-? come intolerable to the majority of the Republican party in his own Mark that. It was the Republican process of turning men out and putting men.
in -that had been a scandal and a shame--not the Democratic. It was the 'Republican and not the Deinocratic administration whose acts had been so scandalous and shameful. It was the course of the greedy spoilsmen and their abetters in the Republican partyand not that of Democrats that had become intolerable to the majority of the senator's party "in Massachusetts. "It WAS not necessary," said this ultra Republican senator, "to repeat that shameful history." Certainly it was not. The whole country knows it.
The country sees already the preparations for a repetition of the "'scandal and shame." Senator Chandler gloried in it. -Ile proclaimed his hope for the return of the era of jobbery and spoils. The mass of Republican "practical politicins," big and little, share his hope. They are in hearty -accord with Chandler and have no use for loar when he disclaims the principle. that public plunder is a pariy perquisite--if it is the Republican party and no other.
COURTING THE WOMEN. When Paul, journeying towards Rome, saw the brethren at the Three Taverns he "thanked Cod and took courage." The women who have been toiling painfully and with little apparent progress towards. equal political rights with men, when they saw what had been done this week in Co-. lumbus and Washington, may have felt like Paul at the Three Taverns. At Columbus Representative Clark introduced a joint resolu ion submitting an amendment to the state constitution striking out of that instrument the word "male." It is that little word which bars women out of all elective and appointive offices in this state and prevents them voting for members of boards of education, although most of the teachers are women and half the children in the schools are girls.
It also prevents women having. any voice in the selection of members of council or any one concerned in the imposing of taxes or disposing of the funds, although women are large taxpayers. If that little word of four letters could be scratched out of the constitution by a popular vote women could take a hand in matters educational and municipal, if not aspiring to higher politics. Yesterday at Washington Senator Blair of New lampshire reported a joint resolution submitting to the people an amendment to the constitution of the United States, prohibiting the denial or abridgement of the right to 'vote by the United States or any state on account of sex. There are seven members of the senate committee on woman suffrage, so that it is evident four of them favored the submission of the amendment.
So far the women have reason to "thank God and take courage:" But they must not think their journey is near its end. Far from In fact there is little reason for belief that any substantial gain has been made either at Columbus or Washington. 'Representative Clark considers it his duty to offer any measure that comes to him from this county, whether he believes in it or, not. Ile may believe it right to strike the word "male'? from the constitution, but. it does not follow that he will bother himself much about the matter, particularly as the practical politicians of his party "have no.
use for women around the polling places." The joint resolution has been presented and that is all there will' be of it. The legislature will probably adjourn before very long and unquestionably will before action can be taken. ou Brother Clark's woman suffrage The case is no better at Washington. Senator Blair's resolution went to the calendar, where it will still be when the 4th of March comes. Senator co*ckrell, chairman of the committee, gave notice that he will present a minority report in due time and that also will go to the calendar, the whole matter being dumped into the waste basket when the presiding officer's gavel knocks the life out of the present congress next month.
The women will have to. exercise their patience a while longer. IN LOUISIANA AND IN OHIO. The New Iberia outrages in Louisiana are without justification and it is refreshing to see that public. opinion in that state, outside of the immediate locality, is strongly against them.
The New Orleans LimesDemocrat has been. outspoken in denunciation of the lawless proceedings and its demand for thorough investigation and the punishment' of, those implicated has been followed up by action on. the part of the authorities. 'The New Iberia Enterprise, however. is not so eager for the conviction of the guilty.
1 parties. It: claims that the lynchings, whippings and a destruction of property were provoked by the worthless character and bad "conduct of the victims, and that whatever was done was in the' interest of law and order. The Enterprise says "the gentlemen who took the lead in this regulating crusade are, responsible "and large. property holders "in this parish." They proceeded fin the interest of law and order" but, "as is invariably the case on occasions of this kind, personal animosities came into play." It is a poor excuse "and a reputable newspaper ought to be above making it. It is singular how "close a resemblance there is between the motives and methods of the White Caps of Ohio and those "regulators" of Louisiana.
Both professed to violate the laws. fin the interest of law and The in both cases were The "regulaof New Iberia, according to the Enterprise, were. "responsible -gentlemen and large property holders." The White Caps of Brown county, according to Gov. Foraker, were "prominent, respectable and responsible It is admitted by the defenders of the 'Louisiana "regulators'7 that although the motives of the "responsible gentlem en' were public spirited, personal animosities came into play." "Gov. Foraker says the proceedings of the White Caps suggested similar acts by "evil minded persons acting on their individual So far the two cases afford a striking parallel.
We doubt if the end will be the same. The governor of Louisiana. has directed the attorney general the whole power of the state to discover and punish the perpetrators of the lawless, outrages. He has not followed the precedent of the governor of Ohio" and negotiated a treaty with the "responsible gentlemen," guaranteeing them immunity from punishment on their agreement not to: proceed with their raiding, lynching and whipping program. Ohio.

A decision has just been made in the superior court at Indianapolis which another contribution to the body of laws and legal decisions on the subject of railroad rights in the streets. To some extent it bears upon the questions now in in this city, though the points of most pressing interest here are not touched upon.
The; court, by. two: of its judges, held that the council hes no power grant the exclusive right to the possession of any street or highway to a street railroad. or other corporation, nor does such a corporation acquire such: exclusive right to a street by occupying it with its tracks or operating a street railway therein. This is in line with decisions in other states and notably with a -decision by the supreme court of which held that the city council of Omaha had the right to authorize a company. tor construct and operate a cable line in a street already occupied by a horse car company.
Under the 'Indianapolis decision the council can allow one company to build and operate a street. railroad in a particular street and can afterwards? permit another company to build and operate a rival line in the same street, s0 long as thie newcomer does not interfere with the running of the line first in the field. It does not give the second company the right to the' use of the tracks already in the street, but it can straddle the original tracks or build in such other manner as the council may approve. 'The Indianapolis case goes up to the supreme court of the state, but the Nebraska decision suggests what, the result will be. PUNCTURING THE LIES.
The following special to a Chicago daily answers several thousand Republican newspaper lies: LITTLE ROCK, Feb. M. D. Sbeiby of Conway county publishes a card in the Ecening Democrat regarding the Clayton assassination, saying that that paper's charge that no effort is beiug made to find out the' assassin is absolutely false. He adds: "I have followed up every little thread of evidence that I could get concerning the crime.
So far I have failed to find anything leading to the murderer, but Ihave pot stopped, and expect to continue until I have exhausted every The paper. also said that men whose opinions are entitled to respect sav that the murderer has been spotted. The sheriff says that if they will- give him the names of the spotted or will make an affidavit, the world will see if the sberiff of Conway county will do his duty. There are no new developments tonight in the case. A LEADING Republican, speaking of Blaine, says: a man is strong enough to force himself.
into a family party where he is not wanted he is strong enough to direct. the festivities when he gets in." This is the language. of a Conkling Republican who voted for Harrison on the supposition that Blaine would not be called into the cabinet if "the Indiana candidate was elected.
