It le evident that tbe people of England
art beginning to reellio their power, and
they are taking idvuntegn ol It. The forma

■erred, bnt behind nil aurgen the lleroe and

condltlona the unexpected may bappan In
advanot ol a prediction.
THE DBIIOCRATIC VICTORY.
Tneiday wu a field day forth# democrat*!
Hew York and Virginia, the two atatea on
which Urn eye* of the whole oonntry were
turned, by bandaomely lnereaacd majorities
rallied to tbe democratic itandard and re-
baked, In nnmeeiured terms, the bloody
shirt cry on which the republican party
placed It* whole dependence.
In Hew York, Hill and Jones, tbe demo
cratic nominee* for governor end
lieutenant governor, defeated Dev-
enpoit and Carr, the republican nominate,
while in Virginia, Ganiral Lee buried In
an svaltncbe of votes, tha renegade Wise,
whole candidacy derived itf chief rapport
from Mahone and fonnd anthnalutlc ap
probation at tb* band! of John Bbarman
and bla brigade of bloody ehlrten.
The moot glorlcni ot the many vletorienof
tha day, however, wu tbe repudiation of
Kahone by the choice of a leglalaturo tbe
competition of which will be overwhelming
ly democratic.
In Connecticut the democrat! mad*
wonderful Increase In the etate legislator#,
while In Mleilielppl end Maryland they o*r-
tied lb* day by ronalng majorities.
Of oonru Mutscbneetls, lows and Fenn-
eylranla went as usual, republican, though
In each case tberc wu a large decrease in the
republican vote.
To ram np Ibc day’* work, it will ba aaan
that tba democrat* have absolutely carried
everything that tbey expected, while the re
publican* have been auccenlol in only those
state* wblch wore conceded to them by tba
damocrata before tb* alaotlon.
Haw York and Virginia werejboth claimed
by tba republican* to the lut, and being tba
only two atatea In which national Issues wtro
at etaka, tb* re cult shows conclusively that
their people have Indorsed the party with
which, one year ago, It Intrusted tha conduct
of the national administration.
Mr. Halt 1* tdvlaed to visit Senator Colquitt
and Rev. Attlcus G. Haygood; but both ol
then men were confederate* and alavehold-
era, to that their testimony, or their view*,
would be practically worthiest from a truly
loyal point of view.
Mr. Atklaion understands tha situation.
H* bu bean In lb* aonth and be know* It
pretty much u It It. H* I* of tb* opinion,
therefore, that similar knowledge would be
relished by Rev. Edward Evaratt Hal*, but
in this be is mistaken. Mr, Hal* la not In
atarchof light and knowledge; on tbe con
trary he It In search of donbta and anpposl-
tlona that will fortify hi*prejudice* and feed
bit at ctlonal hatred.
Tha truth of the butlnets la that nobody In
the aonth caret for what inch men u Rev.
Edward Evaratt Hale thinks. We can take
car® of onrselrts politically and of tha peo
ple whom Providence hu committed to oar
car*. Mr. Hale Is not the only old woman
who live* In s shoe.
a jusr JUDQB.
When Judge Yttte walked out to hU let In
the cemetery at Peoria, III., lut Saturday
afternoon, be went there to pularm a tardy
act of jostle*. 8'andlcg amid tha alltat
m tombstone*, beyond tb* reach of hnman eye*
and ear*, tha judge swallowed a bottle of
laudanum, and breathing a client prayer,
threw hlmaalf upon a grave to die.
If any man ever had jutifleatlon for aalf-
alaughter, Judge Yalta was that man. H*
bad btld high position*. Hit fallow-elUstna
bad honored him with tbelr trust and confi
dent*. Be bad been antiuated with tb* an*

After a carter of rcekleaa living and epee ela

On* poor widow notiflid him that b* most

Uadtr tb* ebeumetaaee* It mutt bo ad

honor. He felt that the man who had rob
bed widow* and orphans bad no right to liv*.
Unable to make reatontioe, b* prttlded In

and ccted ii bla own vxtcuUoacr. Ol oonru

LAW AND ORDIR LEAGUES.
From time to time tba announcement is
made that a Lew and Order leega*3>u been
orgsnlitd In s certain city or town. Thau
leagues flour lib In the west. They have
been tried In Boehm and other ear tern
cltlee. Tb* leleet Instance le In Vineland,
H. J. Vineland bu been an Ironclad pro
hibition town for more than twenty yean,
bnt tha violation* ol tb* law ar* ao n tuner-
oua and open that tha citizens have deemed
It advliablejto organize a league with acapltal
•took of 116,000, with the avowed object of
apotllsg and punishing all violators of the
local option law.
Dsnbtliu Ihesa Law and Order leagues
have tbelr origin In tha good Intention* ol
the better clue of dtlsent, but they Indicate
either lad government or the paralysis ol
government. Tba organization of a league
It a virtual admission that tha authoritiea do
not enforce the laws. The result le tha
assumption of governmental povrert by tb*
cltiunc at larg*. Time a government la
organised within a government. It la per
fectly Irrttponeiblf, and savor* of mob law
or lynob law.
Gocd citizens everywhere will dad It the
wiser plea to render thus leagues unneces
sary by electing to ofllce men who will ext
ent# existing laws faithfully, without fur or
favor. The Law and Older league eonnde
well, bat It la a dangerous innovation. It can
notalways remain under tha control of good
men, and nndar the control of bad man 1
cannot fait to hav* a disturbing and damor-
allslog effect Tha peopl* In aaoh community
■honld pnrlfy and strengthen tba govern-
mint they live under without trtoUng Inside
and Irresponsible government*. Such meth
od* nvor too much of tb* wild lawleaancu
of the frontier. It la batter to coffer Use
evil* of a alack administration of the law
than to call In Judge Lynch.
THE MEANING.
Then can be no sort of doubt that the dam-
ocratic victory In Haw York possesses a alg*
nlflesue* above and beyond tha Importance
of a men local contest It muni that Hew
York le to ba democratic In 1888; It muna
that tha definition! of democracy given by
tb* mugwump contingent will not bold wa
ter; it meant that tha ptopl* ar* democratic
on a straight ont dcmocntlo platform; It
mtana that tha ptopl* ballsy* that if demo
cratic principles era to prevail, tha ofitoe* of
tha country thould b* Oiled with men who
belter* In dcmocraUe principle*.
Tbla Issue wuiqnaraly mad*, and there-
suit wu a united and an anthualutte demo
cratic party In Hew York. Civil ttrvlot re
form It a good Using, and tha paopla baiter*
it, bnt ft mutt b* genuine civil urvle*
reform and not tba aham wbleb tb* Pendle
ton bill .makes possible, A “re(arm" that
ktspa four-tilths ol tha offices in tha hands
of republican# under a democratic adminis
tration la them reform, and Us* paopla know
It. A democratic administration wu elactad
by tb* people to eury out democratic prin
ciples, and tbte can only ba dona by placlag
In cfllea honest and competent men, whoar*
In thorough ajmpatby with thoeo principles.
This le ganulo* reform, and It la tha only
bled ct civil service reform that tb* paopla
will tolerate.
Tha victory in Haw York meant that tb*
mugwumplan idu of ctvtl atrvlea reform la
cot Indorsed by Use paopla.
MR. HALE'* MILK-LEO.
Mr. Edward Atkinson, writing to the
Boston Herald, la of Us* opinion that Bar.

THE REPUBLICANS IN TROUBLE.
There are two political faots worthy to bo
received by all man and by both parlies,
namely, whan tbe vot* la brought ont in a
straight party contest—brought ont, mind
yon, by ■ larg* and warm canvas*—Ohio be
comes every Urn* n republican elate, and
Haw York n democratic etate. Tho one te
Jnet about aa aecnrely republican u the
other It dtmoemilo; hot too political pro-
pond trance In either state 1a not great enough
to admit ol trifling or apathy.
It followe, therefore, that the key to the
democratic combination In 1888, will b*
Hew York, wbil* that of tha repubUcani
will ba Ohio. What can tha republicans da
for Haw York? Mr. Ire Davenport ms
knocked ont In on* rtmnd, and Mr. Evarts,
who supported him on tbe stnmp, 1a Uka-
Wlta In ccllpia. Ex-Governor Cornell would
ba knifed by tbe etalmrti, and Mr. Conkllng
would meat n similar fat* at tb* hands ol
toe half-brtedt. Than 1s no Haw York re
publican wbo can carry hiaown state.
What than? To render Ohio aeonraan
Ohio man become! n necessity, and that
muna of oonru either Mr. John Sherman or
Governor-alect Foraker. Th* nomination
for vio* presidency may ba toesed to New
York, bnt th* chances are that Connectlont
or Haw Jersey will get It. Bbarman and Jo*
Hawley 1s sot an Improbable combination of
onr friends, th* enemy.
THE OLD DOMINION.
While w* u* re jolelrg over tha remit In
Hew York state, H te well to remember that
tha malt In Virginia la even more Important
from tb* point of view of a eonlhern demo
crat. Mahonelem wu the tutoring wedge,
and many northern republicans—compara
tively honest and respectable men—have
been led lomakt inbetautlal contributions
to th* Mahon* parly la Virginia In th* hop*
that th* anccata of Mabontbm would toad to
to* breaking np of tha aolld aonth.
Wa bava obicived that many honed and
Intelligent republicans, who ar* un* on
every other subject, hava bun led into the
belief Ibat a eolid eonth la wmehow a men
us tha nation; bnt it te to ba hopad that
theu honest re publicans will dlteover, before
to* solid eontb mtlla entirely away, tbit thte
■eetion te solid only In behalf ot honaatgov-
eminent, honest political mitbods, and na
tional unity. In behalf of thau things th*
aonth la Indeed eolid, and wlU remain aolld.
Tbla te th* luaon of tb* malt In Virginia
Ruenllly un prevail In the Old Dominion
no more than In Georgia. It secured a
stronger foothold in Virginia than It conld
poeslbly etenra In Georgia, bnt tblafaetgrew
ont of sirenmetanua that were natural In
Virginia, bnt wbioh would be unnatural In
Georgia.
Tba ratarnaahow tost Mahonelem, which
ft only encther reus* for the wont form of
repnkllunlem, hu bean completely buried
in Virginia, end for thte th* math should be
profoundly thankful. Th* oonteet, one*

THE LADY WITH THE MUSTACHE.
On* of tbs most remukablt case* of a dual

For nvrrel yean pait FrenkGrey hu bean
prominent ta a grocery merchant, real estate
dieter ud speculator. A few days ago tb*
discovery wu mtd* that Frank Grey wu
net a man, lata woman. It sru ascertained
that white bundled* knew Frank Gray, the
man, there wen numerous reputable paopla
who knew tb* unit person u Mrs. Mary B.

eircteofioctety.
Frank Grey owned soma land, but tba
till* waa vetted in Mr*. Wolcott In tha
conn* of a tawralttha partita opposed to
Gray bteaaa interested in ferreting ont Mrs.
Wolcott. Detect!v« wen employed and
tbs hunt lasted for a year. Flnelly, th#
proof made It eoncloelv* that Mr*. Wolcott
must be Frank Gray. Tb* exposure wu
mad* and Grey owned np. The m ssquerader
did not look Ilk* a woman. Her vole* wu
mascolins and constant ahavlrg bad pro

tor told a etrang* story. For fifteen yean
ah* bad figured alternately u Frank Gray
and Mrs. Woleott Bha claimed that aho

her to protect herteli and make money.
Until toe dtecovny wu made tb* had been

JOE HAWLEY’S REMEDY.
Eenator Joe Hawley, of Connecticut, te evl
dently trying to crawl on the republican
ticket behind John Sbermen. At a recent
all-night aiision of the Horfolk club, when
everybody had a dozen mngt and no wumpe,
Senator Hawley propeeed a remedy for the
alleged troubles In the sooth that Shermsn
and othera tried to make an leane In the
recent campaigns in Hew York and Virginia.
Senator Hawley, when tb* mugs, wlthont tha

Tha trouble about thte remedy 1s that it

rtpnbllcane, when congress wu republican,
and when th* eonlhern ettleswere controlled
by carpet-bag republican governments, np-
held by federal repnbltcsn bayonets. Onto!
that condition has grown tha present result*,
and tb* faot that they are democratic results

believe that republicanism te tbs remedy.
