Her fame in dramatic ‘aunnts_ will be chiefly assoclited with tho rile of Jultet in “Romeo and Juliet," a chiragter in which sho Wild uappronched by any actress of the present day.

Tilden and Hendricks were cheated of thelr rights in 187. If there had been any such conviction on the part of the Dem- oorats, thelr obylous remody was to nominate ‘Tilden and Uendricks for asccond tine, aud, by electing thom, vindlcate tho clatins of thesa two gentlomen, Both wero willing and anxious to’ muke o test of this Issue, but the Democratic party was averse to the attempt, ‘The Clncinnat! Convention not merely refused to nominate tho old tickat, but also declined to nominate elthor one of tho alleged victims of tho alleged fraud, If‘Tilden hud been objectionablo for other reasons, Hendricks might havo been but upon the tickut, and vico versa, But tho Demoorats refused deliberately aud pdrsist- ently to ronomlnate either of the two men who claimed such renomination us a right; and thus elluminated tho “fraud issue” from the pending campaign. If this Issue cuts any figuro at oll it can only wervo to rivet public attention upon the gross and heartless: Ingratitude of tho Democratic party in re tusfug to men who haa been cheated, ag the Denioerats claim, an opportunity to regain thelr own, It ought, therefore, to appear very clearly to Mr, Hondricke that nothing Is fo be galued for the Demoernta by his parad- ing before ‘tho. publle what has becomu.n inere private grlovanco, of no concern te any- body besides Mr. ‘Tilden and hingelt aud thelr hninediate circle, ‘The criticisms upon Gev. Garficld's con- duct during the controversy of 1876 are far fetched and malicious, Gen, Garfield went to Joutstang og did other eminent repre- sentatives of both political parties, There hus never been word sald on elther sido that would impute to him any dishonorable or unseemly conduct durtug his visit, lt ts laura as * Mi * All tho revelations of Intrigne ond corruption that subsequently came to tho surface Mvolyed not Gen, Gar- fleld or the other gentfemen wha repre- sented the Republlean party In Louisiana, but the “ visiting statesmen’? on the Demo eratle side, and the men who most directly represented Tilden and Hendricks, From this view of the ensa wo should think that the less Mr. Hendricks says about the "ylsit- ing statesmen” tho better 1t will bo for his party, Gen. Garfield's servica upon the Efectoral Commigsion wns equally free from every sus- picion of unfairness, ‘fo begin with, the Electoral Commlsston had its origin among the Democrats In Congress; they proposed and urged it, If there was anything wrong about it, the Democrats ure responsible, for they sugeusted the scheme, developed tho plan of organization, and finally ratified the decision that was renched. Gen. Gartleld was selected by his own party ngs one of the Congresstonat representatives upon the Elect oral Commission, and he voted with the ma- jority. ‘There was nothing more bining- worthy in all this than there was In the cons duet of any Democratic member of the Com- mission who represented hls party and voted. with tho minority, It{!s to be hoped that all the Democratic members of that body voted 3 honestly and conscientiously from thelr point of view as Gen, Garfield voted, But It fs absurd to charge upon the Intter ary special responsibility for © resort to, or the result of, an arbitration which was suggested by the Democrats, ap- Proved (tneltly at least) by Tilden and Hen- dricks, and which resulted to the satisfuctlon of the country, at 5 Mr, Heydrickswletyerince’ on the “fraud 840 Inust be necepted, therefore, as ill- timed, aud possibly as an evidence of tho poverty of the Democratic resources in tho present struggle, If Mr. Hendricks were a prouder man than he fs, and yet notso vain, ho would hesitate about making a public ex- hibition of « personal grievance: which was disdainfully gouted by the Democratic Con- vention, and which long sinco became tire some to the American people. THE ANTI-SILVER WAR, ‘The Intest form In which the war against silver Is tu be prosecuted is by a revival of the old shinpinsters called fractional currency 3; and to this scheme it 1s understood tho Treas- ury officials are Sending thelr ald. ‘Che plan is to retire all the fractional silver and Issue 10, 25, and 50 cunt notes; having retired all tho fractional silver, then the war ts to be renewed for the abolition of the silver dollar, until finally the currency is forced down to ahinplasters and gold, . ‘Tho fact Js, there are Just at this time, approaching three hundred iiilions of gold coin In the United Stateslocked up and not in elreulation. It is just as avatlable, however, for all practical purposes, us ff It were generally distributed. ‘The gold coln ts on deposit sumewhere,—in banks, or In the Treasury, or In the mints,~subject to draft, A draft on the bank or a certiticate of deposit from the ‘Treasury is far more con- yenlent and entirely as efiicaclous for all purposes .ns the gold coin Itself ean be, and consequently these convenient forms of transfer-are generally resorted to, aid the gold renming undisturbed In its place of deposit, There isa new change of ownership, by checks, drafts, or assignments of certificates, but uo actual transfer of the gold, unless it be from one depository to another. Except in. smull transactions, the great buile of the exchange of money fs per formed by drafts, bills of exchange, and assignments of certifientes, Of nll the busl- ness of the country, In Inrge transacttons, payments ‘ara made by bills and checks to the exient of 08 per cent, leaving but7 per cent of tho business of tha country to be performed by the actual payment in coln and paper, 3 Because there are three hundred millions of dollars of gold coln now on deposit in tha banks, In the ‘Treasury, and in other depost- torles, it would be an Insane ites to propose tho nbolitlon of geld coinage on the ground that the people do npt want It nnd that It is thoreforo o nulsanee that ought to be abated, Yet that is just ‘the idea that these same gouliite People vresent in reference to silver doliars. ‘Thero are some sixty millions of silver dol- Jnrs on deposit In the Treasury, just as thore are over a hundred millions of dollars of gold; there ig but little silver in the banks, beenuse tho banks, in thelr endeavor to dis- credit silver, refuse to recelva it on deposlt; but the silver dollars in the Troasury are no more 6 nuisance than aro the same amount of dollars in gold. People can carry paper money more convenlently than thoy cau gold or allver coins, and hence thoy prefer it to elthor kind of coin; but, to pay debts with, the gol or the coin can be transferred by eheck, bill of exchange, and by assignment of dortificnte with equal facility, and for this purpose the one kind of coin is as valuable and as conventent as tho other, ‘Tho United States Is the only Nation that deliberately discriminates against its own coln, Great Britain -keeps in circulation $10,000,000 of silver coin; Franco has pur- haps $800,000,000 of silver coin; Germany has soveral hundred millions of dollars of silver coin in circulation, All these countries aro speele-paying, and they do not dofent tho efreulation of allver by tha jssue of small notes. ‘Tho United States dovs this, and so long as paper dollars are In circulation sil- ver dollars will bo put on doposit; and so Jong as paper dollars, quarters, and half-dol~ lars are put In circulation It la huped the sil- yer colng of those denominations will bo driven from genvral use, ‘The present idea fy to educate the peopto by force to do with- out silver, and go back to thy old disroputa- blo anology for monoy callea fractional cure reney, Fortunately, however, this business of the coinage docs not rest with the disere- ton of tho ‘Treasury officials. It 1s governed. by law, and there 1s no more danger of tho abolition of silver monoy than thera ts of the retirement of the greenbacks or tho suspon- sion of gold coinage, ere ees MORE VIOE-PRESIDENTIAL LIBEL-SUITS. Tho Hon, William H. English threatens to sue the nawspapers for libel, Why should ho svok to punish journalists ror advertising ils wonlth? ‘They assert that the Demo- cratlo enndidata for the Vice-Presldoncy possesses a barral of money, and proceod to show how he got It, ‘That's all, Me got It by sulng people, male and female, to be sure, But what better title to property cana man have than that awardod by courts? Acquir- Ing property by suite at law shows remarka- ble fealty to tho law, Mr. Engilsh Is ao tene der of tho rights of othors that"he fs not content meroly to bargain for what he wants, For Instance, he sees a cottage which exnetly is his eyo, Te docs not approach the poor widow who Iyces fn it with a hard propost- tlon to buy her out of housa'and home, Oh, no, Ho says; “Madam, you are dou teas poor’. and In want of monoy,” ‘The poor woman reaponds, “Of course I am,”..4 J will glye you money,” rojolns Mr, English, .“* You ure su generous!” exclaims the poor widow, “ Youcan pay me when It is convenient,” proceeds the good Mr. En- gllsh; “ give mo d wrilingy-a niortgage—anud the money Is in your hand.” Done,". says tho grateful. widow, and she borrows a sinall ceugive Committee to the Democratic managers | Cettain that ho never sent any elpher dis | sum outof thu barrel, After she hag patd that both parties appolnt Supervisorvon the duy yf the Preyideutlal election da order that a full patehes to tha Enst.

We are Door fallible crentures, linble to err contine ually, But Judges and juries never make any mistakes, They are very friendly to widows and orphans; not more friendly than Tam, but 1 seo that you doubt me, aud {t prleves ino sore’; and, brushing aside a rebellious tear, the poor man’s friend gocs home and—draws n bitt in chancery, In duo course of Inw the Court decldes that the cat- tage belongs to Mr, English, and that tho widow owes her friend of the barrel 9 small balnnee. Then ho enlls on the Sheriff again, aud the Sherlif presents a summons to the widow requiting her to appear in court. And she appears, and tha Judge regards her sternly, ns if inastonishiment that she should seck to defraud Mr. Engilsh of his. honest, hard-earned gains, and finds her guilty of detaining from the barrel a certain sum of money, and rpniers judgment for the amount and Interest and costs. And Mr, English visits tho Sherif once more, and places tn his hand an execution agalnst the Janda, and tenements, and person cffects of the widows; and the Shertif ninkes a levy on tho widow's old chairs, and rag-enrpets, and pots, and kettles, and things, and sells them and turns over tho money to Mr. Buy glish, ana that good man puts it in his bare rel. e Nowy, wo all know that Mr. English has pursued a. strigtly Ieml course, But the poor widow whose enttago.and pots, kettles, and frying-pans haye goneinio Mir, Engllsl’s hand regards tho whole proceeding as 9 ertel outrage, and shoe so publishes it to the Mite world of her nelghborhood, and this injures the fatr fame of ‘the poor man’s friend. Why dost Mr. English sne tho widow for libel? She it 1s who has unjustly blackened his character ond nesnited his good name. The newspapers merely repeat what Mr. Engilsh’s Impeeunlous and dis- honest and sinnderous debtors say about him; and he threatens to sue the news- papers! We submit that this is unworthy of Mr. English, Hels wloverof justice, In tho Inst. fow years he has appealed to the courts 180 times to protect-him against the desire of fimpecnitous persons, nile and female, to hold property which rightfully betonged to him. and now ‘that the newspapers have come to the front with a full and free expos- ure of the meanness and duplicity of these defaulting debtors who go about slandering thelr would-be benefactor, Mr, English threatens to suc his friends, the journalists, for the pning they ure atto show him the jn- gratitude of which he Is theobject! Shame! shame! Mr. English; go sue the widows and orphans of Indianapolis wito have compelled you to seek justice against them in tha courts, and who, not content with putting you to so much trouble, now add insult to injury by publishing aloud In tho streets the charge that you have ruined them, ‘Thera may not be much profit in this class of tHbel suits, but there Is an opportunity for the vin> deation of your wounded ‘honor, Mr English, sue them; thon injured man; sua them “to tha Jaw,’ snd tuke away their coats, and when they shall have been stripped naked send them to jalll Mr, Moody, one of the immortal one hun- dred and clghty dispossessed mortagors, says you are “a wolf in human form?

It Provides that tho tests shall be prescribed by the Nonrd of Health; and any person not possessing a certificate showing that he haa passed a suce cessful examination rball bo Hable to a fine of from $200 to $1,000, The Bonrd of Henlth divided tho employés Into two classes, the frat clngs In- eluding engincors, firemen, and brakemen, and the'sceonit-clussfall others, A man holding n ecvond class cortivento camiot work agenglaver, fireman, or brakeman without passing a first- class examination, The test for color-bitudness: is deseribed ns follows: "A lot of colored skelns of worsted are laid on atable. One large skein Is taken up by the examiner, and tho rallrond nian is ordered to plek out from the pllo of ekeins all shades of that color," ‘o test tho visual power, the leading test ordered was ono in which the person to be examined is stationed twenty-flve feot away from some lotters an! fyures three-cighths of an inch long, and In turn close cach ya and. then correctly name aa minny of tho letters or fgures ag the ox- aminer mony cnil for.

Carmalt, the re- nowned ophthalmist, of Yule College, and Dr, Willan 'f, Bdéon, of Hartford, were appointed to mnke tho examinations, Thoy divided tho. Stato between them, Prof, Cartuult taking the southern portion, and consequently examining tho employés of tha Now York & Now Haven Railroad, Tho very firatday Prof. Carmaltrerused to grant first-etuss certifleates to two enginoers who had been in the employ of the Company many years, ono of them havingrun au engine twenty- eight years, The yiaunl power of both was found to be defectlye, It was subsoquentty al- Jeged that one of them, Engineer Bullard, could renusly distinwuish from the Enst Lyme drow- bridgo signula a mite away, and, when tested by George H. Watrous, tho President of the Rond, could sev better and furthor with the naked oyo than tho latter gentleman with his glasses on. Other engineurs of tho rond, being fearful ofa like fate, begun then to clamor for practical tests in place of those devised by tho Professors. The matter tnatly became ‘of such Importance that tho Republican Stato Conyention at Its Just session passed tho following resolutions: Resolved, Chat the State Board of Health aro requeated to make such immedinte moditeation of theft rnies and regulations, der the act of Marel, 140, concerning color-blindness roud empl 8 Will permit all such employes ne are now Abie to Gistinguish the colors and dig- itis need by railrond companies In this State at practlval disttnees te continue In their several tices of auty unttl after the session of the next General Assembly, Aeavlued, That, if any lexialation 1a necessary on the subject of color-blindness, we demand that the next Legislature inike such alterntions: in Chap, f the Public Acts of 1680 us will ro quire only the exaninntion of railrond employés by practical tests {n the ands of practical nen, Theso resolutions will, it Is thought, satisfy the rniilrond men, As there wero from 1,500 to 2,000 votes depending on the issue nefthor party could afford to ignore the request of tho men; and Its substantial justice scoma to be gonorally ndinitted. ‘ In anartlele on “The Amorican in Europe,” the Palle Mall Gazetic tells this good story: Tho Duke of Argyll and tho Duke of Sutbor- land were once triveling fouether by railway, when a commoercin! traveler enter the cure rhige.
