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. tVIIAT TIIK EDITORS NAT. Tlio Republican and tlie Recorder are trying to act up u muis r.vir the majoiulty of AmericiiB 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 absent D m the city so much he must necessarily ; 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. | Mr. Edwin Martin, who has occupied the posi- [ tion of assistant editor on the .Savannah Nows, j has gono lo Jacksonville to engage in editorial work on the Tluies-Unlou.

One manufacturer, who hired a striker this morning, took him through the shops and asked his non-union meu if they had any objection to him. All replied they had none. He was set to work with the admonition that if he interupted in any way non-union men he would be dis charged. CLEVELAND’S A CARD.
