poeed Cincinnati wiw in a very intemjr

The editorial paragraphs in tho Cincin
nati Commercial Gazette indicate that
there ia something ntimulatin about the
Tratera of the Ohio river, and that tho
para'rapher has leu drinking some of it.
A rem AKKAisLK coincidence is noted in
tho Buffalo Express which says that

Some of our exchanges swallowed the
etory of the death of Louis Kossuth as
Jonah swallowed the whale, and devoted
T?ho!b columns to biography and eulogy.
A few years ago they were similarly a.l
eorbed by the reported death of Marshal
Bazaine.
Out; merchants would declare that the
weather was just comfortable if the ther
mometer dropped forty degrees lower,
and trade were to improve ls rapidly as
it did during the last drop of forty de

those who advertise in The Teleukam.
The Chicago Herald observes that a
St. Louis newspaper has a long article
on ears which is embellished by three
cuts, one showing tho normal ear, another
tho thief's ear, and another tho usurer's
ear. Tho picture of tho St. Louis ear
was omitted because the paper is not
ready to enlarge.
Hon. Sam. J. Han lull is getting very
cordially abused these days by his fellow
Democrats with whom he differs on the
subject of protection, and who charge
him with going South to disseminate the
peed. of heresy. In a recent interview
Mr. Bandall said: am going South in
response to the cordial invitation of tho
people, and more in a social way than
otherwise- I do not hesitate to say that
when I make speeches I shall express my
well-known convictions as to tho tariff
niul the abolition of the internal reveuue
service, but ray remarks will relate chief
ly to the industrial development of the
South. I do nut visit Kentucky, as Mr.
Watterson charges, to make war on the
tariff revisers."

I'EKHArs the last thing a ro)al "Jap
would bo suspected of would Uj that he
nhould l an expert marksman with
American firearms; but General Ovama
who is now in this country apjears to Ik
qualified for his otlice of Minister of War,
according to the strictest civil-service
rule. While in New York the other day
ho went down to Fort Hamilton ns the
giict of Gen. Hancock. Iu exhibiting
various implements and engines of war,
CoL Spencer shot and broke four out of
six balls that were thrown up. The royal
Jap took the gun, fumbled it nver a little
and asked to have a ball thrown up. The
ball wa thrown up, The r. J. pointed
the gun and pulled the trigger just in
time t break the ball. Four more were
thrown up. The General smashed them
all. Then Mr. Hull, of the American rille
team, bgnn tiring with a Spencer ritle fit
some blocks et broadside. Then ho f t
up another lot, putting -no of them with
its narrow edg toward tie General. The
latter took th.e nil winked, smiled and
tired. The bWk tumbled down. Then
lie knocked all the other down with, ease.
JUSTLY INDIGNANT.

in the reducing of llozi' Ern!:r:c3 frcn
twtlre to two years. In all probability no
more hardened criminal exitts than this
man II ass, and liaii Judge Fuller known of
hhi threat to murder him before p&seintf sen
tence, he would have made it twenty-tve
years instead of twelve.
After giving a brief history of th crime
of Dan VunWageuer tho Kalamazoo Tele-
tjraph tsays :
The terrible crime, tlu? circumstnucet and
the character cf Van Wagener, all marked
him as a dangerous man to wockty. In the
whole blrxiy affair, from it coin un? ion Ui
termination, viewed in any light or from
any standpoint, there was not and cannot b
a mitigating circum-tHnce. It was a bratal,
cool-headed and cold-blooded attempt to
murder, and oue of the most dastardly that
ha ever occurred in our elate, and should
have placed the ierpetrator leyond tlie
reach of executive clemency. And
et , with these fact attainable
and well known to most -ople, Governor
Hegotecomniutes the sentence of the crim
iual to expire January I, lN-s".. We denounce
the net n a h 'ujh-handed outrwje, without
thf haduu) of jrtiltintiivj circuniMtance.
Here, where all the facts are known, it is re
garded as a crime against society that should
receive the severest censure of all the iople.
There no safety to irson or property bo
long a- executive clemency is extended to
dejeradoe convictetl of the gravest crimes
known to the law.
Superintendent of Police Perry, of this
city, is somewhat acquainted with Van
Wagner, having had him for a time in his
custody since hia attempt to murder
Hewitt near Kalamazoo. Mr. Perry was
Deputy Sheriff at the time, and drew
from Van Wagner an interesting history
of his earlier life, and, if the criminal's
words are true, they show him to have
been thoroughly schooled in tho ways of
vice uml crime. Ho expressed to both
Mr. Perry and ex-Warden Watkins, of
the Ionia prison, the hardness and de
pravity of his heart when ho said he
would 'sacrifice the lives of four of his
best friends to cover up his own evil
deeds, or make good his escape after ar
rest for evil-doing. Mr. Perry thinks the
commutation of Van Wagner's sentence
is an insult to courts, justice and the peo
ple. Had tho tender-hearted and easily
pursuaded old Governor a few months
more in which to disgrace his office it
would bo well for the State Law and
Order League to see that he was speedily
impeached.
CURRENT COMMENT.
New York Olmervcr: There should be
no delay or dallying or temporizing with
this Mormon abomination.
Chicago Times : Mr. Holman is sug
gested for a place in the Cleveland Ciibi
net, but is too late to impart a boom to
the declining liver-pad.
Cincinnati Connncrtial-Gazette : Mar
shal Lot Wright did his duty on election
day in this city, October 14, his whole
duty and no more than his duty.
Detroit Times: It is reported that
President Arthur will continuo to fill va
cancies in office up to the end of his term.
There is no good reason for doing other
wise. Detroit Free Press : If President Ar
thur has any more treaties in his coat-tail
pocket ho might as well producethem at
once. The country can standi a flood as
well as a succession of showers.
Detroit post: The attempt in the Sen
ato to set on fxt an investigation to find
out how the important features of the
Spanish and Nicaraguan treaties were
made public, wjis worse than foolish ; it
was ridiculous. The reasons
for secrecy in regard to commercial trea
ties are purely traditional and have no
application to any arrangement, pending
or possible, relating to trade between the
United States and other countries.
Chicago Tribune: Whether the Re
publicans can elect a United States Sena
tor in this State or not is an open ques
t'o3. They havo an equal chance with
the Democrats on division of the joint
Assembly, and they will havo an advan-
tago in tho candidacy" of Gen. Logan,
whose bearing during tho late Presiden
tial campaign won tho admiration of all
parties and made him hosts of friends
and admirers all over tho country.
Cincinnati Knmiircr (Dem.) There are
a number of Columbus Democrats who
have, in the inscrutable wisdom of Provi
dence, survived the Silurian period, and
who feel authorized to champion Mr.
Thurman in matters of great National
consequence, localise in the ups and
downs of iolitics they havo been occasion
ally entertained at the distinguished
statesman's sideboard, or have been per
mitted to gather around the Thurman
fireside on a winter evening and suggest
ol l-womeu cures for tho ex-Senatorial
rheumatism.
Uovr Inpt Enter Car,
Uean Cainptiell in Tolntcr.1
Flare you ever noticed how different peo
ple enter a car? It i a study. The expe
rienced traveler drops into the fir9t vacant
soat; if there are more than one, he takes
thf one on the shady side. Here are two
ladles; they paas two or three peats; they
are all alike, but neither seems to be jiut
the thing. Thpy pa.s down the aisle, pass
m-re satu, walk back again to where they
camo in, then carry their luggage hack . to
th sats thy first looked at, and drop
down exhausted. Now comes a party just
fpun the farm. Thv- don't ride mnch; the
old man leads the party, carries the bAby;
the madam drags two small Nys, and the
four take the .ide seat just by the door,
fk around with a sat i MM air, seem to
think they nr in luck to get inside. But it
was a wild wpsrm passenger whose en
trance was peculiar. He had been accus-t.-mi'd
to riding in stage coarhej; the door
ofr tng is on the Ride, and is about the
?i7 of a car window. Thp.srngr knew
nf no reason why a car should have a door
in th end, o when his first train rolled up
to tbr j4atform h saw the window, it wai
open, and it wa big enough, so he ot in
fact.
