Tint scheme of creating a Tariff Commis

nounces himself a determined opponent of
the scheme, which lie considers an artful
device to secure delay and stave off the day
when the whole tariff monstrosity shall be
thoroughly overhauled and corrected of Us

THE MAYOR WEAKENING ON THE POLE
EVIL.
Mayor Harrison seems disposed, after all,
to yield to tlio social blandishments and per
sistent importunities of the local clique in
terested in the Mutual Union Telegraph
Company and Us aides, and to extend to time
corporation tho right to erect poles and
string wires ami 'electric conductors ail
over tho city, in deliance of the gen
eral ordinance prohibiting tlio same. This
pitiable weakening of tlio .Mayor’s Is a
matter for surprise. Ho luul announced him
self as tho guardian of tho law as it now
stands, and ids veto of Um Mutual Union ex
emption ordinance passed by tho Council
was received with such general and hearty
approval Hint It Is difficult to understand
why ho should have so suddenly changed Ids
mind. He says oven now (hat ho may revert
to Ids original position in case a ifew or
dinance is passed to meet ids revised views,
nml it is to be hoped Unit he will do so for Ids
own sake nml in the pnollc interest.
The modifications and limitations suggest*
cd by the Mayor are of no force, and will
prove of no avail In securing an early aban
donment of the pole evil when they shall tie
oneo erected. Mr. Harrison says lie shall in
sist that It he stipulated Urn “ new poles shall
ho taken down on or before March 1, issn,
and that any ordinance permitting the erec
tion thereof shall glvc-him authority to tear
them down at the company’s expense at that
time, In order to make sure that they shall ho
removed before lie goes out of ollice.” Jiut
.Mr. Harrison may change his views as to
tlmtbcforu March, 18SI, just as he seems In
clined to change his late views in regard to
the erection of more poles. .When March,
ISSJ,shall come around it is not impossible, hut
entirely within the range of probability, that
.Mr. Harrison will bo a candidate for a third
term in the Mayor's ollice, and lie may pre
fer the good will and assistance of a ricli cor
poration rather tlian Us antagonism, and for
that reason refrain from destroying hun
dreds of thousands of dollars* worth of poles
and wires, even though authorized to do so
by the ordinance. It is also possible that
there will lie some defect In tiio or
dinance which shall enable the telegraph
company to sue out an injunction against
the destruction of Its property under die
Mayor’s orders. Mr. Harrison himself seems
to contemplate something of tiio kind, for ho
talks boslr about the “ now poles being made
ornamental,” and likewise “serviceableas
street-lamps,” and of wliat’ho proposes to
recommend If the polo system shall be a
“permanent Institution.” It may be safely
assumed that. If permission be granted for
further telegraph polos, they will nut ho
taken down timing any of Mayor Harrison’s
terms of ollice. anti not during Ids lifetime.
Telegraph poles sustaining a network of
cables, as he proposes, nro n nuisance,
whether they ho short or high. They aro
also a menace to property in caso of lire. An
ordinance has been adopted prohibiting the
further erection thereof, and that ordinance
ought to bo enforced without discrimination
or favor. It is only by such a course that
Urn nuisance can be ultimately abated. The
strict enforcement of tiio ordinance Imposes
no hardship upon the now telegraph com
pany, because It had ample* notice of tholaw,
mid has actually made preparations to bring
Us wires into tiio city underground if it can
not have the ordinance set aside In Us favor.
Tiio wires for electric purposes aro run
underground In several other cities, so that
tiio system is In no sense experimental. - No
itiiluenee, whether social or otherwise,
slionht prevail to place Uie great and grow
ing City of Chicago ut a disadvantage with
the oilier cities of the country. Chicago Is move
needful to tho new telegraph company than
the latter Is to Chicago. There is no donb
Unit tho company will make an entrance into
lids city underground with lltllo moro de
lay than by poles Jt not permitted In oroct
the poles, mid the true policy is to require
them to do so. Mayor Harrison really knows
tills us well as anybody.

discretion of tho Judges to allow or ovorrnlo

have already shown, this discretion has boon
used to postpone action In tho case of I’rlnco
Albert Jones, convicted of murder, for sev
eral months. Tho motion lias boon made,

are far above tho suspicion of sympathy with
crime or criminals, they nro much given to
procrastination and delay, and, when they
have the power, usually grant as many post

THE PLAGUE AND CIVILIZATION.
Contagions ami epidemic diseases aro
doubtless to a degree properly attributable
to unfavorable atmospheric conditions. * .But
tho resources nf modern civilization enable
mankind largely to counteract these unfa
vorable atmospheric conditions, ami so to
defy tho pestilence willed was once a terror
to the world. These diseases have almost
Invariably originated In tho East, and, ns
they spread westward, their severity has been
mitigated In tho rutin of tho more correct
habits of Ilfo of Western peoples as compared
with those of tho Hast. To a certain extent
contagions and epidemic diseases have moved
with the waves of tinman migration. To
the poor, tho restless, and the discontented
the West has always presented the alluring
appearance of nn Eldorado. And ns they
have struggled to reach tho promised land
they have naturally, through weariness of
body and irarplextty of mind, encountered nr
precipitated upon themselves all tho disease
provoking conditions of which mankind in
dlslrasrnre heirs. .Hence, ns we are under
obligations to tha'fcnst for the germs of all
tho practical arts, so wo may reproach the
East ns the hot-hed of all tho pestilential
diseases which liaPo ntllictcd mankind. It
remains for tho dwellers of tlio West to put a
period to the spread of the pestilence which
walketli in darkness, ns lliov are developing
the germs of Eastern art into perfected sys
tems. This darkness In which the pestilence
of ancient times “walked” can only ho dis
pelled by correct living. More than in tho
atmosphere pestilence linds its origin In tilth,
and ignorance, and fear. As a physician late
ly remarked, tho fear of vaccination is akin
to tlio pellof In and I'cnr of ghosts. Ghosts
aro never visible nt noonday. They are bred
in darkness. When- tho darkness of Igno
rance shall have been banished tho Inst ghost
■will have made his last appearance on tfto
stage of human life. Ami when enlighten
ment shall have compelled universal cleanli
ness of tho person, the house, and the street
there will bo no more pestilence. Cholera,
smalt-pox, plague, black death, and sweating
sickness will bo known only ns spectres, of
tho past-that dim, half-revealed past whence
the modern world lias derived its philosophy,
Its religion, and Its moral otlilcs, not less
than Us theory of mixed good and evil In tlio
matter of political economy.
There Is great fear and horror just now of
small-pox, which has been tlio scourge of
mankind In the Old Wi;rld for f»00 years.
Atmospheric, condition* may ho favorable to
Itfi prevalence hero now, hut there Is little
doubt that a far more potent cause is tlio
vast luting upon our shores of Immigrants.
Tho poverty of many of them, tho privations
of tho voyage across tlio Atlantic, tho un
cleanliness Inseparable from ttio crowded
steerage, the tedious Journey across the con
tinent to their new homes—all these tphd to
produce pestilence. Rut whut ah almost In
linltdlffcreuce there is between tho pestilence
of tho nineteenth ccntyrynml that of tlio
earlier times 1 Tho cardlhc disease which
prevailed for a period of WO years,
from :wo R. C. to 200 A. D„ was
so t horrible as to render small-pox,
by ‘comparison, nf trivial Importance. It
“ began .with rigors mid a numbness In the
limbs. Tim pulse then took on tho worst
condition, was small, weak, frcQuem, empty,
amt ns if .dissolving. ... Patients wore
afflicted with hallucinations; they were
sleepless, despaired of their recovery, amt
were usually covered suddenly with an Ill
savored perspiration over the whole hotly/
. . . The breath was shortaml panting, al
most to annihilation. . . . Thu counten
ance was pain as dentil, the eyes sunk In their
sockets, anil, when the disease took u fatal
turn, all was darkness around them. Tim
hands und feet turned blue; and, whilst the
heart, notwithstanding tho universal cold
ness of tlio body, still heat violently, they
fur tlio most part retained possession of their
senses. . . . Finally, tho nails became
curved nn their cold hands, Urn skin was
wrinkled, and thus Om sntforers resigned
their spirit without any mitigation of their
inferable condition.”
t mmenting on this disease. Hcckor says:
There must therefore have been something In
the whole Htmo of existence of the auulonlH
which favored the formation of the nunllnci dis
ease. .. . . We nmy also add that Indigestion,
repletion, drunltcmicss, ns likewise grid' and
tour, hut osiiouliihy vomiting and the employ
munt of the bath after dinner, occasioned un at
tack of the malady. It was la tho lime of Alex
ander that Oriental luxury was llrst Introduced.
Gluttony became noart of tho enjoyment of
life, and warm baths a necessary refinement In
sensuality, which Just nt Ibis time were philo
sophically established by Epicurus.
In the fourteenth century— um to imo-n
pestilence known as the black death raged
with fearful violence in Asia, Kurope, and
Africa. It originated In China, where It was
preceded by alternate drouths and Hoods,
which wore followed by famines, Dy Uie
drouths, Hoods, famines, and the plague it is
estimated that nearly 10,000,000 of people
miserably perished. Tradition assigns many
other causes, doubtless of a mythical charac
ter, such us uurtli'iuakes supposed to have
polluted Uio air with poisonous gases, and
“a pestiferous wind spread so poisonous an
odor, that many being overpowered by it fell
down suddenly, and expired In dreadful
ogonlos.”
Tlio black death made Us appearance In
Kuropo about Dio year 144 H. It U thus de
scribed; “Au Oriental plague, marked by
Inllaimimtory boils and tumors of Dio Blands,
such as break out in no oilier febrile disease,"
. . . "31uny patient* became stupefied,,
and full Intoaduup sloop, losing also tliolr
speech from jmlsyof the tongue; otliurs re*
mnlncd sleepless and without rest. Tim
fauces and tongue were black, and as If suf
fused with blood; no beverage would as
suage their burning thirst, so that their
sulfurlngs continued without alleviation
until terminated by death, which many{u
their despair accelerated with their 'own
hands, , , , The organs of .respiration
were seized with a putrid iiillammntlou; a vio
lent pah) in Urn chest attacked the patient;
blood was expectorated, and the breath dlf-'
fused a pestiferous odor." "
The mortality in the Kast was frightful,
"Cairo lost dully when tiie plaguo was ra
ging with its utmost violence from 10,000 to
Wi,oiX). , . , India was depopulated. Tar
lary, tho Tartar Kingdom of Kaplschak,
31csopotamlu, Syria, Armenia, were covered
with dead bodies—tho Kurds Hed In vain to
tho mountains. Cyprus lost almost all Its
Inhabitants." Pope - Clement's Information
wus to the elfect that in Um Kast, exclusive.
of China, til,ooo,(Xli) fell victims to tho scourge
of tho black death. Three-quarters of n mill
ion are said to have died In tho chief
cities of Europe alone; ami of lids* death
roll London alone furnished a round 100,000.
Over 100,000 Franciscan friars nr* estimated
to have fallen victims to tho disease In Ger
many. Ileckersays:
Morals were deteriorated everywhere, nml (ho
service of Cl ml was in n great measure laid nsldu:
for In immv plpces tlio churchc* wore descried,
being heron of priests. 'Clio hislrunilnn of tho
penult* was Impeded: coveiuusnesi tmenmogen
eral, and when tranquillity was restored iho
greatlncrcasuof lawyers was astonishing, to
Whom tho endless disputes regarding Inherit
ances offered a rich harvest.
Superstition prevailed to an alarming ex
tent; suspicion fell upon tho .lews, ami (hey
were charged with ■causing the plague by
poisoning wells; and they were tho subjects
of a frightful, cruel, barbarous persecution
In many parts of Europe.
In M<kM47U Ireland lost largo numbers by
plague; mid In IM4 Milan huff bo, ooo of Its
inhabitants from the same cause, and the
ravaged of the disease extended lo Germany,
Norway, Denmark, mid France. In HKKt-’Oi
:w.ooo persons perished of plague in London,
and .'tf,ooo in Id.'i In KKO Sardlna mid Naples
105t400,000 persons by plague in six mouths;
and In I7W 'soo,ooo people, died nf the same
disease In Egypt. In ispiit raged In Malta,
and again in Egypt In ISM. Hut It Is 200
years since Europe has sntfered sevetely
from plague. Tho resources of civilization
arc pilled against it.
SILVER CERTIFICATES,
A Mr, Davis, said to ho a member of Con
gress from .Missouri, has a very silly project
for authorizing tho issue of silver ccrtlll
cales in denominations of SI, S 3, nml Bft, ns
well ns 810. Such n proposition Is merely
calculated to excite now antagonism to iho
system of Issuing certlllcates on Iho deposit
of silver dollars, ami to afford the monoiiict
tilllsls tlio coveted opportunity lo agitato tlio
subject of demonetizing silver, without serv
ing any useful purpose. * In fact. It is not de
sirable (tint there should he silver certificates
or any other form of currency (except possi
bly the greenbacks) in denominations of less
than $lO. In sums under that amount itls lit
every way desirable that gold nml silver coin
shall no kept in actual circulation. There is
nn safer support for specie payments Ilian tho
actual contact with tlio specie, mid It is only by
excluding small hills from circulation that
the circulation of silver and small gold coin
can be assured. Tho only objection to tlio re
tirement of small hills will bo overcome,
without doubt, by arrangements already pro
posed for sending postal orders for any sum,
no matter how small, payable to hearer.
This plan will enable the safe transmission
nt n distance of small amounts hi making
payments, and that Is the only service which
small blits and fractional currency could ren
tier to advantage after tlio resumption at
specie-payments und the remonetization of
tho sliver dollar. There are now fifty or
sixty millions of greenbacks in denomina
tions under 810, and it may be ns
well to leave them alone; but there
should be no bills smaller then 810
issued by tho National hanks or reprci
sented by Treasury certlllcates of any kind.
Tho American people should forover he kept
fuAiillar with the sight amt'touch of specie
money, both silver nml gold. In'order that
they muv grow Into tho orthodox belief that
there Is really no other money, and he pre
pared under any emergency to oppose tho
suspension of specie payments. Gold nml
sliver will always circulate for change pur
poses ami in the smalt retail transactions if
there bo no small bills; mid tho proposition
to Issue 81, 82, and 8<» silver certlllcates can
only be Tho offspring ol n shallow mind
which Ims given no thought to tho trim
philosophy of bimetallism or tlio double
standard, ■ •
THE TIME TO fedtlELOH BODEBONISM.
The crushing defeat of Uourbonlsm in
Virginia and tho assoipbllng of a Congress
which nt last has the power In its hands
suggests that now Is nn opportune time lo
put a quietus on Rnurbonlsm, to rcidifran
chise Southern Republicans, nml to secure
fair elections In tho-Southern Status. Con
gress cannot taken stop this session which
will ho greeted with more acclamation In the
North ns commendable and patriotic In every
way. The defeat of tlio liourhons In Virginia
has inspired u hope among the people of
other Southern States that at lust there Is a
prospect of their rescue from Uourhon tyr
anny, wldcii has not advanced them polit
ically and Ims retarded tholr material growth
by keeping sectional prejudice*'-alive, so that
there is no reason to doubt that Its removal
and the dissolution of the Solid South will
also be welcomed with acclamation in that
section. ,
Ilourbonlsm in tho south has now enjoyed
ten years of unrestrained rule, ami during
that time has maintained itself in power by
corVuption, fraud, and violence of almost
every conceivable description. In 18T0 Ue
publlcan Administrations held the powerdn
tho So_uth, amt Ilourbonlsm commenced its
assault by tho organization of tho Ku-Klu\
Klan, which intimidated negro voters by
deeds of violence which did not stop short of
murder. When tho National Government
broke up thaso gangs of midnight murder
or«, various leagues took their places in tho
gnisu of political assoeluAuns, which by
menaces,' floggings, expulsions, amt ostra
cism extending oven to tho opportunities for
obtaining work still further intimidated lie
publican voters, in this manner tho Hour
bons gained control of tho South, ami even
aspired, with tho aid of Northern UemocratH,
to take possession of tho National Govern
ment. They have maintained their control
of tho South by linmlur and massacre, ns in

nt the niost glaring kind, ns in Georgia and
Alabama; by tissue-paper ballots, ns in South
Barulina; ami by tho application of tho shot
gun ami various ballot-hox-stulllng methods
all over the .South, which disfranchised Uo
publicans and wiped out tliolrvotos by whole
counties.
The crushing defeat administered to Ilnur
bonlsm by tho gallant Muhono in Virginia
was a blow which has weakened It nil over
the .South. It was-the mine which has
opened tho way for an assault all along the
line. Tho time was hovermore auspicious,
public sentiment was never readier, tho
South Itself was never readier than now for
Congress to assort Itself. If tho House Ims
any courage or any sense of Justice, If u
would extend u helping hand to the victims
of Southern Uonrbonlsin, if It would seize
tlio opportunity which now presents itself to
put a quietus upon Hourbon bulldozing and
hullot-box stalling, It cannot take a surer
stop In such direction than to thoroughly
canvass tho methods of election that were
practiced In every, contested district ami
bundle out the lluurbons who wpro not fairly
elected ami scut the Republicans who were.
There can bo no doubt that there was upon
and infamous fraud practiced. When such
ft paper as the Vicksburg Ueniltl, which sup
ported Chalmers, declares ■ that ho, obtained
Ids certiorate of election by fraud, by bull
dozing, mid ballet-box stalling, Republicans
ought not to hesitate long us to their duty
towards Chalmers. Hut ho is not tho only
one who wak not elected and who has no
right to Ids seat. Hut the claims- of every
one of these seat-stealers be examined, amt
then let them bo thrown out without grace
or delay, so that these who have a rightful
claim to tho scats Am take them. It h time
these Southern Bourbons were taught Unit
they cannot inaction i.ho methods of the Dn»(
tun years any humor, niui IhatSiuilhorn lie*

A GREAT AND A LITTLE EGOTIST.
Occasional correspondents of newspapers
in tlio country aro enpahtu of saying very se
vere things. They not infrequently hit tho
nail squarely nn thn (mail, and drive it home
nl a single blow. Tims the correspondent of
Friday last, ,1. Iliesland, of Adeline, 111., In
stitutes a parallel between (lultcau nml
Conkllng which Isjno less apposlt than grim
ly sarcastic. Mr/Hiestand wants to know,
you know, if It is not “pertinent to inquire
whether tho New York Senators worn crazy
whim they resigned llinlr scats.” He acquits
IMalt of insanity, however, on tho ground
that thn net of resignation on his part was of
the “pnppi't-nr-a-hoss”ordor, nml honco eon
lines his analysis lo tho onso of “Iho superb
Colliding.” lie makes the point that when
Colliding resigned Ids seat in thn Senate ho
expected to bo reelected at once—” expected
that tho same Legislature that had unani
mously recommended the continuation of
Uohcrtson would send him hack lo the Capi
tal wllli a great nourish and rebuke an inso
lent Administration for having dared lo
trample on the corns of lilslloynt Highness.”
“ Was lie crazy*.*” asks’ Mr. Hiestand. And
ho proceeds wlt.li tho comparison:
I.lko Oultonn, lio was so cotnplotolv oaten up
by vanity and egotism that hot bought he not only
owned iho Legislature, buthoconslderodnll Iho
l-eiioral unices belonged to him ns a matter of
right, lie thought tho great body of the people
had so completely transferred tholr affections to
mm that ho uonld afford lo throwaway tho grout
Hut) ho had wielded Torso ninny years. Did tho
people hold him responsible lor his silliness?
Heboid the limping strut or tho once grunt of
lloc-brokor. Crazy ns tho act was, there Is no
doubt blithe feels sorry. Llko (tultemi, ho was
disappointed: ho sought rovonge, ana tho act
recoiled upon himself, f repeat, was ho crazy?
. The cases are indeed marvelously similar,
it is dinteult to coinnruhciid how a sano
man, Guitenn, could reach tho conclusion
that lie might slay the I’resldont of tho
United States and vet escape the penalty on
the ground that a faction of Uio party which
elected him felt bitter animosity towards ids
Administration. Amt Gulteau never would
have reached this conclusion had not the
desire for revenge disturbed Ids reasoning
powers. Ho had importuned tho Vresldent
for nn otllce to the point where patience
ceased to bo a .virtue, and lie was expelled
from the Executive'Mansion ns a nuisance.
This so onrageij Idm that ho shot (lie I‘resi
dent to bo revenged for tlio Indignity put
upon him. ... ,
Tlio’case of Conkllne runson all-fours with
Hint of Gnitenu. He fought desperately to
control the disposition of patronage in Ids
State, llrst with tlio President' and then with
the Senate, in both encounters lie failed.!
Then he resnivod to reslgn ids great office,
but not to surrender It permanently. His
reasoning powers were weakened by Indul
gence in tlio desire for revenge. He thought
the Legislature of Now York could bo
brought to stultify Itself—could be induced
to become a party to ids morbid ambition to
humble the President. He believed that thn
people would not only condone tho silly net
of resignation, but that they would clamor
with the Legislature to reward It. In the
language of Mr. Hieslnnd: ” Llko Gulteau, lie
was disappointed; ho sought revenge, and the
act recoiled upon himself.” Tlio Legislature
spurned Conkihig, tlio people laughed ut
him, nml lie is out of public life. The
faction in whose interest Gnitenu committed
murder spurned Idm, the pqppio thirst for
ids blood, nml lie is nn trial for ids life.
Conkling Is a great cgotisl;CiiUeau is a little
egotist. Conkling’* vanity destroyed Ids
Judgment, dethroned ids reasoning power’s,
nml cost him tho high office ho held; On!-
lean’s vanity roused the devilish Instincts
within Idm to the bulling point, lie committed
murder, and the hangman's rope awaits
him.
Tlio egotist often imposes to a degree ids
exorbitant estimate of himself upon the
community, lint in doing so tie also Imposes
upon Ids own judgment; mid, nt last, when
ho lias ceased to bo able to correctly gngo
Ids powers and Ids Intlnoncc, Uio community,
linds him out, and cries, ns France nml nil
Europe cried of Napoleon in 1814, “Enough
of Idm I”
. The misfortune of tlie self-deception of the
egotist Is Hint It remains after the delusion
• has passed from the mind of the community.
Thou tho egotist falls a victim to his own
arts. So It was with tho great egotist Conk
line, and so with tho tittle egotist Guilcau.
Colliding held himself so high above tho
masses nt common mortals that ho lost for
want of association with them tho power of
estimating their intellectual mid moral pow
er. On the other hand, Ouiteau held himself
so far below the mass of common mortals
that ho undervalued tliolr virtues. Egotism
Is only another name .for selfishness, and
selfishness Isolates Us victim and so deprives
him of tho monitor arriving at a just judg
ment of men and tilings. Thus Colliding
vainly Imagined ho could rule tho country
notwithstanding tho country had chosen an
other tO'bo President; and thus Gultenu
vainly Imagined that tho Stalwart faction of
tho itepublicau party, so called, would con
done tho crime of murder for Uio bribe of
power. Thus tho lofty Instincts of thoono
ami tho baso instincts of tho othor being poi
soned by selfishness alike led their victim to
an utterly erroneous conclusion.
Emerson hasthlstoeayof Bonaparte*: “110

out moral principle. It was tho nature of
things, tho eternal law of man and of tho
world, which balked ami ruined him; arnltho

HOW. TO SAVE THE BOYfl.
Tholtashy books ami newspapers which
the b«»y» nro reading. as set forth In Tub
Tiuiiuni! yesterday, nro demoralizing amide
grading hi thoir Umdouey, Thu sale of such
imhllcntloiis ought to hu strictly supervised,
ami In some cases wholly prohibited. In lit
erature,,as lit money, the worse currency
will, If loft to Itself, drive out the bettor.
Other things being equal, a majority of boys
will take a bad newspaper in prufuronco to a
good one, and a bad book rather than a good
•book. Their taste in reading needs to bo ed
ucated ami controlled. The temptation to
road depraved books and papers ought to bo,
ns far as possible, removed Irom them. Their
Ideas of right ami wrong, of manhood,
bravery, honor, nitd self-respect should not
bo exposed to tho corrupting Influence of a
literature In which all those principles
are perverted. If tho boys-are taught that
carrying concealed weapons, getting drunk,
stealing, and cheating are “smart’' things to
.do they may bo expected to graduate Into
tho penitentiary at a very tender age. More
harm may bo done by vicious prints In a
week than a child can got good’nt tho public
'schools (n a year. And it Is an alarming fact
that the sale of these papers and books Is
largest at the llttlu news-stands In the vicin
ity of (he schools.
The State laws and city ordinances pro
scribesovoru penalties fur the olTeusoof sell- 1
lug liquor to mljiors or for permitting them
to play at games of chance In public resorts.
These lows have 'been of late very rlgldly N
enforced In this city. There are associations
which make It thoir business to see that vio
lations of them shall be punished. Public
opinion has coma to the support of the asso
ciations; and many of the saloonkeepers
have themselves lout a helping hand In tho
good work.
Now, Urn offense of poisoning Ilia minds nt
tho youth is fnt* greater tlmn that of pander
ing to their appetites. It'lncludes all Iho
other offenses, nnd Is tho source of most of
them. Tho innocent youth do.nol wish to
frenuont snlnons nor to piny pool for money
on Sunday or nny other day. Those who
hnvntastcspf this kind have been debauched
already. Their Imaginations Imvo been In
darned nnd ttiotr minds uollntcd, possibly by
rending bad books and newspapers, or nt nny
rnlo by association with those-who do road
them. Kaciiono of those publications is-a
nursery of vice nnd crime. They are ono of
.tho roots of tho evil which Hilda Its outward
manifestation hi tlio mad rush of tho hoys to
tho saloons nnd concert-halts nfid other places
of like resort.
The law Is already snlbclont to cnnblo tlia
Common Council to prolilbll. tho sain of Im
‘proper prints for boys. One of the enumer
ated powers of tlm City Connell Is:
To prohibit ttao sale nr exhibition of ohsccno
or fmnutnd publications, prints, pictures, nr
illustrations.
These Juvenile Police Gazette* are clearly
“Immoral.” The Common Council ought to
prohibit their sale. The association which
has done so good a work In UeeMmr minors
out of saloons and billiard-hails ought to In
duce tho Connell to trass tho necessary ordi
nance. and then to sec that it Is strictly en
forced throughout tho city. Tho benefit of
such action would not to Chi
cago. If It should bo successful,‘lt might be
Imitated throughout'tho .State and In other
largo cities of tho country. The Juvenile
criminal publications might thus be driven
out of existence or compelled very materi
ally to modify their tone.
We do not know of a broader or more
promising field for tho eit'orls of reformers
and philanthropists than is presented in this
suggestion.

Ho says in his dispatch to the Clhclmmtl Kn
r/nfm* from Now Yorks
Ihnclntnlk yeslorday with nircntiemnn from
the Northwest who oneo hold a high place in the
Government in which yon emi llnd probably
morn meat than in most of the present nows
from Washingtons
•• Who is going into tho now Cabinet?”
“It is very ttncertHln. Old Grandfather Howe,
of Wisconsin, Is perfectly sure that hels.wmited
there, nml wilt net smaethnlg. The bnuKlng no
has comes from tho Camerons In Pennsylvania,
und front Conkling. who niwnvs found liowc »

homvi-a somelhlng to Howe, Uocansn ho heat
him for the Senate. In point of fact, tho Wis
consin peoplo bnvo not tho least Interest in
Howe's promotion, and he will nut bnnir one
cent’s worth of lullueneo to tho President.”
“ Is Hubert Lincoln to stay in tho Cabinet V ”
“ Vos, he Is for tbo present. He has made no
great mark there, and Is hardly tho required
quantity; but It Is going to ho awkward to in
vito him out, and he will not Invite himself out.
Tho claim is made that he, with a limited In
come, took tno step of moving to Washington
City, taking a house, and that to ho dispossessed
would bo hard. UhltiK he will remain till next
summer, possibly next fall or winter. Hubert
Lincoln Is n Presidential quantity, and wc be
lieve in tho West that old Senator Harlan Is get
ting blip In training to rnn for President. That
Is a sore point with Gen. Logan, who Is going to
rim for President himself If he can. Louan Is
n good deal more cautious and discreet than hn
used to be, but he Is pretty Jealous, and never
could stand newspaper disparagement. Ho
Hnds Lincoln looming up os a new Presiden
tial sphinx, backed by tho great memory of
his fothor. Prom whnt I hear, Secretary Lin
coln Is perfectly Itnpnsslvo ns to Logan. Logan
scoured from Clitrllohl altogether more patron
age than Grant would over hnva given him. It
may bo said of Grunt that bo did restrain tho
Homos somowtmt. Logan has ovory appoint
ment In Illinois except the Collector of too Port
of Chicago, nml he Is going to get that if hocim'.
With tho whole patronage of tho state ho ex
pects to mnko n delegation In his favor for tho
next National Convention. As far ns tho popu
lace goes he has never taken that hold In North
ern Illinois that he expected.”
” Whnt aro tho relations bctwcon Logan and
Emery Storrs?” > • f
“They belonged to tho same wing or faction
In politics, and Starrs was an aspirant to he At
tnrncy-ncnornl. Tho President longed rather
favorably upon it, desiring to hnvo somu brill
iant men around him. Htorrs Is popular In Illi
nois. Ho Is suchntlno speaker und Is so witty
that everybody goes to hoar him: and ns a law
yer he has been very successful, though 1 think
ho Is not a wealthy man. Logan hits not helped
him much. There Is too much applause around
Storrs to suit tho political Captain of a State#”
The conversation then turned on the quarrels
of politicians. My friend remarked Uint Ctmrlta
Harwell und Gen. Logan might possibly nod t »
each other ns they passed, but no more; that
Gen. Grant under no circumstances would speak
to Gun. Hrlstow; that Hon Harrison could not.
carry bis own Htato for tho Presidency In a Nn
tlonal Convention: that Knob Chancier had been
so much of a political Ncador that when no died
Michigan was loft limited and without a central
person, nml Umt Attorney-General MacVciigb,
by bis singularities of temperament, had been
tno only sero In Garlleld’s Cabinet, whore tho
other members got along with each other very
well. My informant sain of MauVcngh: ”He Is
like many Hoformers and Independents—a man
of unbelief. Von cannot dislodge n suspicion
against a hitherto reputable man from his mind
by any kind or evidence you bring to bear, and a
little slur against a man will take tbo propor
