HL.UNK’8 MANMIIV
Mr. Blaine’s insult to Senator Ed
munds was at the same time an insult to
the dead ex pro-ident. Taking the cir
cumstances and surroundings all in all,
Mr. Blaine’s conduct towards Senator
Edmunds at the funeral of Mr. Arthur
•was the most disgusting exhibition of
stable manners and innate vulgarity to
which any alleged statesman has ever
given way. It grated on the genteel sen
sibilities of the assembled gentlemen like
•die beating of a tom-tom. And Mr.
Blaine’s conduct in the house and the
presence of the nation’s dead could not
have been reasonably expected of a semi-
intoxicated clown, if one had been usher
ed into the assemblage.
Tlmt James G. Blaine is dishonest
a congressional investigating committee
has established; that lie is immoral, a
certain newspaper in Indianapolis is itch
ing and offering to prove by a score of
affidavits in open court; that he is mean
on a petty scale is a part of liis record al
ready too well known; hut that lie would
outrage the sanctity of a house of death by
insulting a man whose only crime against
the plumed knight exists in the fact that
he is the latter’s superior, was not sup
posed even by his worst enemies. Mr.
Blaine is about as fit to occupy the presi-
k dential chair as the devil would he to
I preside at a church dedication.
TDK STI I'IIMTV OP A iltllY.
Our dispatches this morning slate that
the second trial of Mctjuude, the hoodie
alderman of New York, was begun on
yesterday. McQuude is eliarged with n
reiving a bribe to vote for the charter of
the Broadway railroad and the (rial
ended last week ia a di.-ngreement of tin
jury after it Imd be.n out two days try
ing lo come to a verdict. It is hard to
believe that the jurymen who stood out
for acquittal were actuated by honest
motives. Two of the incriminated alder
men appeared in the witness box at this
trial and told the whole story of the ras
cality by which the hoard had been in
duce! to give away tiiis valuable fran
chise. The special evidence against Mr.
McQuude. was too strong to leave a rea
sonable doubt in the mind of any im
partial man. Either political partisan
ship must have deflected tin- judgment
of these jurymen or else the jury was
“fixed” to prevent conviction. If the
latter was true, there ought to he some
way of discovering and punishing it.
The testimony in the MeQualie case
shows the deliberate, matter of course
way in which thirteen of the chosen
legislators of the most populous city of
tlie western world proceeded to steal
away and Hell its franchises for so many
thousand dollars for each of their indi
vidual pockets, regardless of the rights,
interests and welfare of the city and citi
zens whoso officers they were—tlie cold
blooded, shameless fashion in which
they plotted to break their official oaths
for so much cash in hand—the prudential
measures they considered for the choice
of a temporary custodian for the corrup
tion fund, so as to secure themselves
against being plundered of their plunder
by one of their fellow plunderers,
the precautions they adopted to
make assurance doubly sure for a fair
division of the “swag,” and that “honor”
should rule among their band of thieves.
That the money was given for votes for
a franchise has been proved beyond any
question. That the men who were seek
ing the franchise when the money was
given, who got the franchise, who built
the road which it authorized, who sub
scribed to the Btock and took the bonds
and pocketed the revenues were the very
men who did the bribing, directly or in
directly, is an inference so plain and un
avoidable that no one of common sense
would dispute it for an instant. Yet the
jury in the McQuade case made a mis
trial and the whole thing must now lie
gone over again.
It is stated that the jury refused to find
McQuade guilty, not because they did not
believe him guilty, but because they did
not wish to accept the testimony of in
formers. The jury in thus allowing such
a prejudice to influence their verdict lias
violated a plain and imperative duty.
Tlie people of Now York naturally feel
indignant at the stupidity of the jury
because there is not the slightest doubt
of the guilt of all the accused parties.
BOIlBISON’S SUCCESSOR II1SHRACES RIMSKIY
Hon. Jehu Baker, the aged successor
of Congressman Morrison, lias began his
congressional career by making himself
the hero of a most undignified and dis
graceful episode. On Friday afternoon
la.-t, while in the post office at Belleville,
111,. Oongre.ssnian Baker, who is quite an
aged man, saw a young man named
Beach, a reporter of the hi. L^iuis Repub
lican, enter the building and began to
curse and abuse him in the vilest lan
guage. The reporter expressed his sur
prise at tlie oil man’s language, and in
formed him that lie had never written
or spoke n aught against him in his
life. Not appeased at this
diselairnor, the senile congressman as
united Mr. Beach with his eane. The
latter easily took the weapon away from
him, and informed him that on account
of 11is age he would not give him the
thrashing he deserved. The alleged
statesman then whined for the return ol
his stick, which was given him. After
getting it. he again became uproarous
and the police had to lie called to quiet
him.
The ancient hero of this vulgar epi
sode is^ the political creation of Jarrctt
and his fellow protectionists who used
money like water to elect him over Con
gressman Morrison. It is in order now-
tor them to employ a wet nurse or a
guardian of some kind to follow the old
man around and keep him from show
ing his long ears through the artificial
lion’s hide he is wearing. Old man
Baker is in Con ressinuu Morrison’s
place for a brief season; but he van never
till it.
Boa IsjoERsoi.x, declares that no man
lias a right to more land than he can
use. Boh Ingersoll, in partnership with
his friend, Star-Route Horsey, claims a
little patch sixty miles broad by ninety
long in New Mexico. Of course he
wants no monopoly to interfere with this
little calf pern
The New York Tribune says: There
was a difference; Stone was a republican
and Benton a democrat. This is one of
the few truths the Tribune has uttered
since Horace Greeley died and left that
paper to become a depraved an deceitful
orphan. But while on the subject of
“differences,” here’s another one; Benton
is in and Stone is out.
Ex-Sen atoit Doomttle’s plan of “house
hold suffrage” or two votes for every
married man is being extensively dis
cussed, and generally with favor. The
women suffragists have not been heard
from yet, however. Perhaps they are
temporarily paralyzed by the logic of a
system under which a woman is to be a
vote and not a voter.

Tlio Republican and tlie Recorder are trying to

It having been claimed that Mayor folder ought
lo be re-elected because he spent time and money
in canvassing for subscriptions for the extension
of the AmoricuB, Preston and bumpkin road, the
Recorder repli s ns follows:
We acknowledge that lie did good work in
that direction, and that most of his time for sev
eral montiiK was spent in tlial work: but we are
Informed lh.it he was paid fhrlhttt work, and
while drawing pay for it he also orew his salary
as mayor. \Ve might claim that while ho was

have neglected liifc duties of the ofllce of mayor; ]
hut we do not make any such claim, from the i
lacl that the city seemed to get along us well j
daring his absence as when lie was in the city. |
