Court'ri.s will do little enough without b-in,' hindered by measures which tho authors wibt know, if thoy know any tiling, will alnount to nothing. Mr. Ilurd .should realize that his kiud of Deinjcr.icy has been pretty severely ro buked. Ihit a nnako will continue to writho after its head is otf. It is a remarkable aCd creditable fact that in a work of such magnitude as the construction of tho Washin'toii monu ment not a yinlo fatal accident or serious injury has happened to either workmon or visitors. But it is doubtful if u fact ever had a narrower escape of fulfilment than the aUive. Tho man who fell from tho ere.st of tho monument and was caught ten feet lolow by a nail catching his clothing and held suspended for sovral minutes with five hundred feet of clear air under him, has reason to feel a bi;debt of gratitude to his tailor and tho nail-maker. Tiieue is a sort of renaissance of in tores? t in Democratic presidents, and two authors aro essaying to that kind of ancient history. Gtforgo Ticknor Curtis and lie v. John Newton Spear, of Head ing, aro both engaged in writing biogrra phies of James Buchanan. Mr. Curtis, feaj-ini; Mr. Spear is going to steal from him, has written tho reverend gentleman threatening legal proceedings. This arouses tho r. g.'s righteous indignation and ho tells Mr. Curtis if he were cap able of stealing brains, ho would sted from somo ono besides Mr. Curtis. So both books aro getting freely advertised. I'eotle who ore employed in tho mail service will be particularly interested in tho suggestion of tho Postmaster-General, that mailing clerks are especially deserv ing of consideration, since their salaries are hardly sufficient to induce them to take proper interest in their work. A feature of this branch of tho servico is that men who do exactly tho same grade of work do not stand alike on the pay roll. Already a movement for a better adjustment of tho salaries of tho clerks has been inaugurated, and, if Congress were to heed tho suggestion of the Post master-General, a more even distribution of rewards would follow. Mn. Millei:, of Pennsylvania, touched tho Democracy on its vulnerable heel the other day when, in discussing Mr. FolU'tt's resolution for investigating tho conduct of the United States Marshal of Southern Ohio, he proposed tho investi gation pushed south of tho Ohio river. If there has been an abuse of authority in Southern Ohio every honest, loyal citi zen will wish to see it punished, but he will likewise be anxious to know whether thoro has Khmi entire freedom in thb ex ercise of the franchise in other sections. The election i over and the party of tho solid Snfh has triumphed, so that our curiosity to know just how the elections have lvn conducted may lo satisfied now with IesH danger of stirring up sec tional hate than at any other time since tho war. Tho Democrats of the South should seek out and embrace an early op portunity to show to the world how inno cent their election methods are and what s.ierifiovd they have mado to allow the negro the free Use of the ballot. THE IRISH VOTE. There seem to le a disposition in some quarters to ascrnV the defeat of Hlaine to the famous remark of Dr. IJurrhard. This conclusion rests urm tho assump tion that many Catholics, who otherwise would have, vet.nl for Pihune, rr fused to do so Kinuso of the language tiod by Dr. 1 lurch;' rd.

Ihzy rccoiza tha Demo cratic party as the party of free trade, and to that doctrine they are unalterably opjxseiL They believe in tho American idea which is. so distinct and prominent a feature in the Republican creed that this continent is dedicated and shall remain gocred to Republican government and civil and religious liberty, and the other doctrine that adopted and native citi zens jHissetij ejual rights and are entitled to full protection at homo and abroad. The Irlh Catholic voters resent any ap peal for their votes on grounds connect ed with their raie or religion. Mr. Hen dricks has said that the Irish are natural Democrats. Why? What is there in the history or doctrines of that party which constitutes a claim upon the allegiance of Irishmen or affords a reason for their united and unerring support. Tins pieotion is disappearing and should en tirely disappear from American ilities. Irishmen think for themselves from their individual convictions and vote accord ingly with ono party or tho other. There is an element which exists and is growing aggressive in our Mpulation, viz., tho Communistic or Socialist. Tho members of this class to a man are fouud in tho Democratic party. With them tho Irish Catholic has no sympathy and jean have no nlliliation. They are not only anarch ists but infidels and join with their crazy attacks on government and property rights, seoiTs and jeers at tho Almighty himself and at everything wluch Catholics hold sacred. They will find in tho Irish Catholics their firmest opponents, and tho party which fosters or encourages thein cannot have tho support of tho other. Thero is no refison in our politics why voters should bo classed as Irish, French or Gorman, as Catholics, Metho dists or Presbyterians, and the sooner eomo politicians learn it tho better. current'comment. Kew York Star: By all means, let tho widows of Democratic Presidents bo solic ited to graca the celebration of tho return to power of tho Democratic party. Selma (Ala.) Times: Now it will al ways be tho proud privilege of the South to point to tho fact that her voice was three-fourths of tho power that saved tho country in this crisis. Chicago Inter Ocean: A Pittsburg man has published a look entitled "A Guide Book to Heaven." It will bo just like tho Democratic papers to call it "sec tional," because they don't travel that way. Pliiladelpliia Press: The mugwump has fulfilled his destiny. He will please sit down in tho corner and cool his fin gers whilo tho chestnuts ho pulled out of tho tiro aro being sampled by tho Demo cratic monkey. Now York Sun: No President has over proposed more important measures, and none has stated his ideas in a simpler and clearer style. The literary form of the message is rather scattering, how ever. But it has tho merit of being short. New York Sun: Why is it that upon none of the various cabinet lists prepared by our numerous contemporaries do wo find the namo of Hon. John G. Carlisle? Neither have wo noticed tho namo of Col. William 11. Morrison. It seems rather odd. New York Sun: It appears, then, that somewhere between tho Cleveland Inde pendents of tho Schurz typo and the old fashioned Democrats of tho Thurman tyio there is an intermediate class of Democrats, who alono are properly quali fied to surround and advise tho now ad ministration. Buffalo Courier: Mr. Hendricks is ono of tho nicest and most harmless men if let alone, but people who force him into a fight are nearly always sorry; and if tho mugwumps insist on kicking him out of tho Democratic party, tho tiling may re sult in their getting kicked out them selves. Let us have peace! WHAT MOVED VANDERBILT. Why the Millionaire Gwre feeOO for Ilfiicvolcnt Purpose. N. Y. Cor. Albanj Argma. . As nearly as I can ascertain, Vander bilt's gift of $.-.00,000 to th New York Col lects pf Physiciana and Surgeons all can from a small incident. Vanderttilt stopped at a wayside iun in upper New York, as ra his custom of on afternoon, to rest hia horses and take a glass of gin and watfr. Tho place is known to our horsemen as Barry's, and is common-place enough, ex cept for being the favorite stopping plan for Vanderbilt, and for that reason a re-sort for the chronic roadsters. While h stood with his back to the Kir, his eltiovr on it, and a glass of grog ("two fingers of Hoi laud gin, two of hot water and a spoon ful of sugar"), a pitiabta cripple entered a littlo boy, with inisshappen legs and back awry. 44 How did you get into such a ?ha)e, sonny?" Vanderbilt asked. I was mnned over," the urchin re plied. An accident on the road hail ?pe ial in terrt for the qupst'onr, and got the par ticulars. The little Wlovr had be n over turned and trampled on by a fast horse He was too poor to I? doctored at home, and yet his mother had foolishly objected to his renvrral to a hospital where he misrht hare received proper treatment, but he had ln tAkrn to the College of Physician and Surcon, whre applicants gt inad fMjunt attention, or only urh a will sm"t as Mhntrathun to the lpvn which t.h student are barrsins, th faititir ting o limited as to preclude anything further.

Tb Horrible Scrua Whih Took Flac La t ar Nurtheru Jllt aud Which o L'liiiiLitiikttbly ilxcitfcd tMpuLr ludigu-Atiua. Winut-pt g Times. Thd following U th description of th flogging of a prisoner iu tht Wiunepeg jail, which lti to the turning iu tfflgy of At torney -(jtjueral Miller and threats ol vengeance against hiui. 4ThU morning, about 12:45 o'clock, a scene tojk plact iu the jail yard which vtry seldom occurs iu Canada, It wa tha flogiug of the prisoner McCoruiack, who yesterday escape 1 from the jail, la which he was working, aud was recap tured. Last night he was shackled and stowed away in the dark cell, aud early this morning the Attorney-General issued u order for the flogging. At the time mentioned all the prisoners, twenty-five in number, were mustered iu the yard, the guurds standing over them armed with rifles, and McCormack was then brought out. Up to this time he had no Intimation whatever of the luteuded punishment, and at first was at a loss to ' understand what ceremony was about to be performed. The iigfct of the triangle in the corner of th yard, however, speedily dispersed any doubts that may have existed fu his mind, and ho was noticed to tremble all over with fear. Tho Sheriff then called him by name and proceeded to read the order is sued by the Attorney -General for his pun ishment. Tho order directed that twelve lashes be given him now and twelve more one month before the expiration of his term of Imprisonment.' This, however, is made subject to his conduct during his stay in jail. The prisoner listened to the reading of the document in a dazed manner, and paid little attention to it. Af tor the reading was finished ho simply said that he did not understand the rules of the jaiL He was then seized by two turnkeys and stripped to the waist, and bound to the triangle, which stood in the southeast corner of the yard. While the straps were being adjusted he whined pitifully and pleaded for mercy. A turnkey seized the cat, a barbarous ma chine, with a handle about a foot long, to which were attached a number of whip cords with tho ends knotted. After testing it he stepped back, and, suddenly swing ing it around his head, it descended whist ling through the air upon the back of the unfortunate man, who literally bellowed under the influence of pain. 44My God," he cried, 'do you mean to kill me?" and immediately after the lash descended a second time, leaving long, red scars where ever it touched, which almost instantly turned to black. The. knots at the end o. the tails did wonderful execution, raising hideous-looking blood -blisters. McCor mick was by this timo writhing terribly under the pain, and his contortions were terrible. At the fifth lash tho lood began to flow, and before the whole punishment had been administered his back was one mass of lacerated flesh, frjm which the gore trickled in streams down his back. During the last few strokes, which wcro laid on severely, his agony was painful to witness. He kept crying: iIyGod! My God!' until released from the frame, when he fainted, but was soon brought to his senses by an application of snow. Ho was then placed in a cell and the wounds bathed in brine. He lay on tho floor of the cell lobbing like a child. He was terribly ex hausted, and the opinion was expressed by medical men that he could not have stood much moro. ABLE TO CARRY IT ALL. An Italian Woman Convinces a Crowd That She Has a Great Head. TK. Y Times. A shopkeeper near the City Hall elevated railway station broke up a few old boxes yesterday and left the wood piled up on the curb-stone. Two persons went into his store and asked him for it. One va3 an Irishman, able-bodied, apparently strong, and rich enough to own a paper of chewing tobac co. The other was an Italian woman, dirty and avaricious-looking, with bronzed an 1 wrinkled face, small blue eyes, a rag ged dress of gaudy flannel, and low, thick shoes. The shopkeeper turned to the wom an. 4tTako it away quick," ho said, sharply. 44 Ycz can't carry it all; lave me soom," said the Irishman. Tho woman made no reply, but it was ev ident that she meant to carry off all that wood or none ol it. The Irishman and sev eral other idle men stood around to watch her do it. She didnt work in a hurry. Tho Aldermen canvassing the city voto were not moro del ilerate than she was. After taking a thorough survey of tho situation, sho picked up a few pieces of wood, crossed the street with them, and piled them up oa the edge of the stone coping of the steps leading into the Register's ofllce. Then she set a prematurely precocious little girl to guard the pile whilo she went back for tho remainder. For half an hour she deliber ately dodged tho stream of vehicles with her arms full of wool. bho built up her pile as carefully as a loy manipulates his toy 4box of bricks." It looked too largo for any ordinary human being to lift nnd carry. Tho Irishman looked on with patient amu-ment, but tho woman worked on with determined perseverance. ra,serby be gan to grow interested. Finally the little woman had tho wood all stacked on the topsof-th lteirr's otTlce, tiM it with a piece of cord, and rested awhile for breath. The crowd formed a cirri aroind tur and watchl her with onie mrioity. TeamWs stop- a?id lkel on in wonder. Th woman paid rot the 'ihtest attention to them. Thf pd of ttood wa. at Jeat fotir feet hih.
