C.F SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1690. Acrixe Postmaster-General. Hazen has issued an order the purpose of which is to ex- clude from the mails all registered letters con- taining postal money orders addressed to agents of the fraudulent lotteries at Louisville and Covington, Ky., dnd New York City. ‘Tue bush fires in the Parish of St. George, Quebec, are safdto have done great damage. Seven or cight square miles of the country have been swept by the flames, and the settlers of the place have been rendered entirely destitute. A large quantity of timber, grain, and household Property has been destroyed. ~ | ‘A rieastye incident occurred at Boston, England, yesterday. The bells of the parish church were rung in honor of the 20th anniver- sary of our Boston. This is the church which was presided over by the Kev. John Cotton for twenty yeara, before be became pastor of a church in the New England settlement. Tue grain-heavers employed on the float- ing elevators of New York and Brooklyn to the number of 500 have struck work because two men not members of their Union were employed by the clevator owners. The latter swear they will not dismiss the non-Gnion men, and the strikers swear they will not return to work until the non-Union men are dismissed. AN immense tariff demonstration took place at Cleveland yesterday. Delegations of mechanics attended from nearly every manu- facturing district in-Obio, Pennsylvania, Now York, and New Jersey, Speeches denouncing frec trade as ruinous to American .manufact- ures, and as icading to the pauperizauon of American mechanics, were delivered. Tuomas C. Tuurston, who shot at Mr. D, R. Anthony, editor of a Leavenworth ‘paper, several months ago, and who at the time seri- ously wounded Lucien Baker and John P. Dougias, friends of Mr. Anthony, pleaded guilty in the Leavenworth District Court Thursday, and was yesterday sentenced to eizhteen years’ hard labor in the Kansas State Penitentiary. —— PATRICK DaLTon, John Keefe, and Patrick Walsh, all longehoremen, wore shot at and seri- ously wounded—Dalton, it is feared, fatally—by Patrick Barrett, also. a ‘longshoreman, in New York last evening. The fight grew out of some labor troubles, and Barrett claims he shot in self-defense. He was with great diliiculty saved: from the fury of the mob. As it was, be re- ceived rather rough treatment. . CO ne Rererns from 497 towns In Maine give Gov. Davis 73,416 votes Plaisted 73,000. The scattering vote is 338. Theraare cix towns yet to bear from, which gave a Fusionist majority of 167 lust year. Should the vote be the same this year, Gov, Davis will havea majority of 49 over Piatsted. It will be seen that the Democrats brought ont their roosters, burned their powder, and expended their wind too svon. = Dn. R. V. Prence, the well-known patent medicine man, who was elected to Congress from the Thirty-second District of New York in 1878, bas resigned his seat. Dr. Plerce was elected over D. N. Lockwood (Dem.), the former Representative, by a majority of 2,890, and should 4 special election to. fill the vacancy. caused by his resignation take place between this time and November it will indicate the state of feeling in Western New York. —_ AFTER 2 sharp scrimmage with the mob, a speech fullof wise saws and modern instances delivered in his usual terse, trip-hammer Tip- perary style by our untamed and untrammeled Superintendent Fogarty, and afew mild words of advice from Frank Adams, the Western In- diana Railroad employés were permitted to lay track on the disputed territory between Twelfth: and Harrison streets yesterday, and then all was quiet, The belligercnt chicf, Mr. Fogarty, re- tired to acquaint Mayor Harrison-with the terms of capitulation, and Mayor Harrison bewailed the’blunders which led to the humifiation of his dauntless lieutenant. ——— Rrxprgrest of a very virulent kind has broken out among the cattle of the Province of. Volhynia, the principal cattle district of Hussia. Taken in connection with the failure of the grain crop in other provinces, and the burden- some taxation to which Russian farmers are subjected, it would seem that their lot is not one to be envied. ———e ‘Ture rather extensive fires occurred yes- terday. The foundry and machine-shop of Mills & Merrill at East Saginaw, Mich., were destroyed yesterday mording. The loss is placed at $20,000. The insurance is $8,500. Rob- ert Roof’s residence at Battle Creek, Mich., val- ued at $8,000, was also destroyed. The in- surance on the building was only $4,000. The Powell Tool Company's building at Cleveland was injured to the extent of $50,000,—fully cov- ered by insurance. + —_—— Serrous trouble is anticipated at Corning, Perry Courity, Obio, in consequence of the atti- tude of the striking miners, About 1,000 of them assembicd yesterday, but they did no moro than. indulge in threats against. the colored men now employed in the mines. An attempt was made by them in the evening toobtain interviews with the workers, but the mine-owners would not permit. A company of the Ohio State militia has been dispatched to the county, and it is feared thelr services will be required. d MicHsaEL Joyce and John Berry, two private soldiers of ‘Battery B, Second United States Artillery, were killed ytsterday at the Washington Arsenal. A Gatling gun which was used in the semi-annual exercises of the bat- tery Friday contained an unexploded shell. This circumstance was not known to the men, andin moving it yesterday the jar caused the explosion, and the shdt piissod' through the body of Berry, and thén. through ‘Joyce's body. Berry lived half an hour and Joyce an hour and a half. Depours-Cottector of Internal Revenue Latham, of Southwestern Virginia, tried to pre- vent the operation of illicit stills in that section, and called to his sid a posse of nine men, with which he set out to arrest the moonshiners. The latter offered no resistance at first, but after a Uttle time they attacked the Collector's posse and put them to flight. The people of the dis- trict sympathized with the moonshiners. They believe, with Alex. Stephens and other ex-Rebel leaders, that there should be no such thing as interual revenue. g SATURDAY, Oct. 2, will bé a great day for the Caledonians of. New York and vicinity. On that day will be unveiled in Central Park, New York, the statue of Robert Burns. The oration will be delivered by George William Curtis. The St. Andrews’ and other Caledonian Societies will parade. The statue is by Sir Jobn Steele, of Edinburg, and is said to be a splendidly execut- ed figure. The wealthy Scotch-Americans of New York are so well pleased with it that thoy have subscribed $1,000 for the sculptor in addi- tion to the contract price. : —— ABnrrisn gunboat came to anchorin a Turkish burbor on the 16th inst. She wasimme- diately boarded by the Turkish authorities, who requested her departure at once. The unboat Captain complied, on being in- formed that the presence of his - ves- sel inthe harbor was contrary to the Treaty of Berlin, The British Minieters may be induced to think that Turkey is too particular about the observance of, treaties by ather Pow- ers while exhibiting a rather cont: mptuous dis- regard of international obligations itself. * GeonceF. Fanxas,'son to a prominent coniractor of Indianapolis, went to his father's fused admittance, procured an ax and proceed- ed to break in the front door, all the time swear- ing that be would kill all the occupants of the dwelling. A policeman happened along about this time, and, after a brief struggle, during which he reccived some bruises, succeeded in arresting Farnam. The would-be demolisher of the paternal mansion and of its occupants has been accommodated in a cell in the Indianapolis Jail. , Tue trotting record in harness was low- ered yesterday afternoon on the Chicago track to 2:10% by the 6-year-old maro Maud S., owned by W.H. Vanderbilt. The day and track were especially favorable for fast time, and the re- sult of the trial was not a surprise to those who had. witnessed the mare’s great speed in pre- vious contests. The first quarter was done in thirty-four seconds, or nt the rate of 2:16 to the mile, but the next half-mile was trotted in the unprecedented time of 1:02, muking the time for the three-quarters 1:36. The lust quarter was trotted at a strong, steady gait, and the time at the wire was as ubove stated, 2:10%,low- ering the best previous record a full nalf-sec- ond. % ij Norwirnstanpixe the protests of the Greenback rank-and-file, and the denials of the Democratic ieaders,* the attempt to pring about coalition between the Greenbackers and Democrats of Indiana is still persisted in. Sam Cury, who was the tail to Bill Allen's kite in Ohio in 1875, is now in Indianapolis acting as the agent of the Democracy in its efforts to win the Greenbackers to the support of Landers. The negotiations bave’ progressed so far that Cass ‘| Byfield, the Democratic nominee for Congress in the Indianapolis District, will be obliged to withdraw in favor of the Reverend Greenbacker, De La Matyr. The fusion came so near succeed- ing in Maine that the Democrats hope it may be more successful in Indiana. GamBerra triumphed and De Freycinet surrendered at disérevion yesterday. This re- sult was brought about by the threat of resig-. nation on the part of the Radical members of the French Cabinet. President Grévy advised concession, and the De Freycinet-Guibert let- ter as a basis of compromise between the religious orders and the French Gov- ernment will be- withdrawn, and M.' Constans, Miuister of . Public Worship, will enforce the March decrees in such manner and at such time as he—or rather as his chief, Gambefta—may deem proper. A letter has been already addressed to three Roman Catholic Arcbbishops by 3M: Constans, in which ho states that the compromise letter cannot take the place of the authorization required by law of the’ religious confraternitics. A Ministerial crisis is ayerted for the present, but all is not peace in‘the French Cabinet yet. Lorp CuieF Banon KetLy, of the En- glish Court of Exchequer, died Friday, in- the $4th year of bisaze. He was born in London in 1586, studied for the Bar at Lincoln's Inn, in that city, and was made King’s Counsel in 1835. He sat in Parliament as representative of the borough of Ipswich from 1883 to 1641, and as rept mtative of Cambridge borough from 1843 Yo 1847. He was appointed Solicitor-General of Engiand during the Administration of Sir Robert Peel, and again in 1852 whon Lord Derby attained power. About this time he was clected member of Patiiament for East ‘Suffolk, having resigned the representation “of Harwich, to which he was chosen a short time before. He held the office of Attorney-General for England in Lord Derby’s seoond Administration, On the death of Chief Baron Pollock in June, 1866, he was made Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer. The deceased. gentieman. excelled asacriminal lawyer, and'frst attracted atten- tion by his able defense of Frost and his brother Chartists in 1840. The vacancy created: by his death will probably be filled by the appointment of Sir Henry James, the present English At- torney-General, or Mr, Watkins Williams, an able Welsh lawyer. : “THE INCREASE OF JUDGES. *. The Constitution of Lilinois adopted in 1870 increased the number of Judges of the Cir- cuit Court ofthis county to five, and author- ized the Legislature to add-an additional Judge to that Court or to the Superior Court for-every 50,000 population in ‘excess. ‘of 400,000 as sHown by the National censns, The Legislature of Illinois, in auticipation of such census, authorized and directed that’ whenever the Governor should be informed by the returns of the census that the popula-. tion of Cook County exceedefl 400,000 he should: callan election in the county for an additional Judge of .the Superior Court-for each 50,000 of population in excess. of the 400,000, It is known, but not yet officially declared, that under the census “of 1850" the population of | this county exceeds 600,000, and therefore under the act of the Legislature there may be an election held in November for four ad- ditional Judges of the Superior Court of this county. . 4 It is reported that the matter has been fully considered by the Governor, and he has determined, we understand, that so soon as he shail receive a certificate from the Census Superintendent that the population of Cook County equals 600,000 he will call the election for four additional Judges in November. It. may be considered, therefore, as a fixed fact that such an election will take place in November. & : That there are objections to holding such an election for four, or even for any number, of additional Judges is true, but when the matter is carefully weighed the’ wisdom of increasing the number of Judges will have to be conceded. The population of this coun- ty is immensely large; it exceeds that of any One of a dozen States that may be named. Lt contains on¢ of the largest cities of the Union, and this city is iot only both a’ manufactur- ing and a commercial city, but is also the business centre of a vast system of railroads, whose corporations alone furnish litigation sufficient to occupy the full time of at least two Judges, perhaps more. Instead of hav- ing litigation prompt and speedy as it should be to promote the ends of justice, the crowded state‘of the dockets: furnishes full protection to thosé’ who resort to delays to defeat justice and use the machinery of the law to practice oppression. Under the present law'one of the éight Judges Is as- signed to the Criminal Court for three months. While this allotment secures the successive attendance of all the Judges, the fact remains that there ‘is but one Judge;to. hold a Criminal Court at a‘time. It is per- haps true, as stated, that no such inadequate provision as one Judge to dispose of all the criminal business of a population of 600,000 people exists in any civilized land.. Itis an impossibility for one Judge to properly hear, try, and dispose of the criminal business of such a great population, especially in a grow- . ing elty like Chicago, to which: evil persons naturally resort to p actice their crimes. There are now in qur jail a score or more Persons under drrest or indictment for mur- der, with some 300 or more persons under arrest for the various crimes of violence and for all the crimes.of the calendar. In the execution of the criminal law de- lays are the great means of defeating justice, and the most ‘successful means of escaping conviction and punishment. - The fact that there is but one Criminal Court to try criminal cases, which accumulate ‘at the rate of 125 per“month, relieves the criminal class of aliy serious dread of trial, or convic- tion, or. punishment in this city. Continu- ances from term to term are a necessity on’ the part of the public prosecutor, and crim- inals, because of the want. of time to try them, can always obtain.delays. In this way criminals who ought to be tried promptly on their indictment often have the trials postponed until the case becomes stale, the witnesses scattered and indifferent, the pros- ecutor changed, and the enormity of the offense blunted in the public mind by time, and by thé occurrence’ of later and equally startling offenses.’ Persons accused of crime are, by the Bill of Rights, entitled to right and justice * prompt- house in that city yesterday, and on being re- j!ly and without delay”; and this rieht apper- tains equally to sociaty. Itis a mockery of all principles of justice to keep aman under arrest on a charge of crime month after Month without trying him; if he cannot be convicted, it isan abuse of justice to hold him without trial and without discharging him; if he be “guilty, then it is equally an abuse of justice not, to try him and punish :him. ‘The jail of this county hus.on an-ave- rage $50 and idore firisoriers Who ought'to be tried promptly, and convicted or discharged according to the facts and the law, when in fact these men are there’ notoriously practic- ing the law’s delay as the most certain way of obtaining adischarge. THE REWARDS. OF NATIONAL HONESTY. Senator Conkling, in his New York speech, gaye a brief history of the passage of the Re- sumption act. He proved that it was a meas- ute of Republican origin; that it was passed through both Houses of Congress by Repub- lican votes; that it was signed bya Repub- lican President; and that it encountered only opposition and ridicule ‘at the hands of the Democrats in Congress and out of Congress. He also hinted at the benefits which have ac- erued to the country by reason of the public faith and honesty represented by the resump- tion of specie payments at the earliest prac- ticable moment. But he had already de- voted so inuch of his time to the elaboration of other important. considerations that he was not able to trace oitt the good results of resumption to their full significance. Bueiness-men ‘may well employ. some of their leisure, or some of thé time which they give to political matters, in thinking out the ‘vast, far-reaching, and.universal advantages that have grown out of the maintenance of the National faith, the credit for which is in- disputably due to the Republican policy. Some suggestions may be made which will assist in ascertaining the tangible results of resumption. _ , : L Resumption was the fruition and the evi- dence of National credit. Before resump- tion was accomplished there were only. pledges and promises of good faith which appealed to the confidence of the world and the patriotism of the American people. Re- sumption was the realization of these prom- ises and the redemption of these pledges. ‘The public credit was firmly. established by this act of public honesty. .It paid. From the time that resumption ‘became practically a fatt accompli the Government began to reap the “benefits of its honest policy. The Government 6 per cent bonds were first funded into 5, then 4}¢, and then 4 per cents. The 5s were funded into 4s. ‘The outstand- ing 6s and 5s will next year, if Garfield is elected, almost certainly be converted upon maturity into bonds bearing only 834 per cent interest, unless the Greenback policy of paying them .off in order to exhaust the coin resources of the. Government shall ‘prevail ‘with the connivance and aid of ‘the anti-National Deniocrats. In this way the Government will have saved fully $40,000,000 annually, or- more thana third of the annual interest-charge upon the people, which must: be paid bytaxation, Take a purely utilitarian and selfish view of the case: Has uot this ¢ourse been more profit- able than would have been any tax on the Government bonds; or other violation of the public’faith? i 2,. But the saving. to the National Govern- ment represents only a small part of the gain which has accrued to the peante by Virtue of Public Honesty. There hasbeen a correspond- ing saving—perhaps an equal saving—in the reduction “in the-rates of interest on debts Paid by States, counties,‘ cities, and’ towns Which have followed the example of. the Na- tional Government and maintained ‘perfect. faith with their ‘creditors... ‘The. ageregate of, the State, ‘municipal, and local debts is ap- palling, but great relief has come in the re- duction by fully one-third of the tax ‘neces-. sary to pay thé interest thereon. ..A’ few. years ago the City of Chicago was compelled to pay 8-and'9 per cent for its temporary ac- commodations, and it is. now'able to re fund its 7 per cent maturing indebted- ness into bonds ‘bearing only 436 per cent “interest.” This advantage comes pri- marily from the eXample in honesty which | was ‘made by the General Government, and which Chicago imitated by similar economies and a’ counterpart of good faith. It may be safely estimated that the interest churge on all Stateand municipal indebtedness through- out the country, in’ communities which com- mand the confidence of capital. will in avery few years have been reduced to two-thirds of what ithad been before, by virtue of the honestpolicy which the. Republican party has maintained in the General Government. 8. The ‘private and quasi-public corpora- tions have been in due proportions the bene- ficiaries of this policy. The railroads ‘fur nish a striking illustration of its workings. Their aggregate bonded debt is in excess of the National debt, and the cost of maintain- ing it is being proportionately reduced by re- funding at lower interest. While the Goy- ernment formerly paid 6 per cent, itnow pays 4,and will shortly pay 834; so the railroad corporations which formerly paid 7 and § per cent on their bonds, now pay 5, and will shortly be able to refund at a still lower rate if resumption of specie pay- ments and the public faith be maintained and their own policy correspond thereto, The ulterior benefits of this saving in interest extend to all classes. The public de- rive a benefit therefrom as well as the own- ers of the railroads, The facilities of trans- portation are extended, freights and, fares are reduced, the tracks are renewed with steel rails, new connections are established, bettér rolling-stock is provided; and more employment is given to labor,—and all this is done while the dividends remain as. large as they were before, or are even increased over the previous average. 4. The same advantage which has been en- joyed by the General Government, the State and.local Governments, and’ the. railroad cor- ' porations has been extended to the people in their private and business relations upon a. much broader scale. The farmer or. the householder who has been carrying a mort- gage and kept up the interest thereon can re- new it, or so much of it as he desires still to. borrow, at two-thirds the previous cost, He can borrow at7 per cent where he formerly paid 9 or 10, or at 6 per cent where heformer- ly paid 8 per cent. The legal rates of inter-, est have been reduced very|generally by leg- islative enactment. The banks make com- mercial, accommodation, and time loans at a much lower rate than was ever regarded as possible in thiscountry. ‘This condition is a healthful stimulant to. building, to manufacturing, to enterprise of all kinds. Its effect has been apparent during the past year, and it will be more striking during the next few years to come if there be no “change” in Government policy, to which the renewed prosperity of ‘the country may be directly traced. - 6, But the benefits of resumption and an honest policy in the administration of the Government are not confined to capitalists and large entreprencurs in manufacturing and commerce, They reach out to the salaried and wages classes. If the Govern- nent has been able to save one-third to one- half its interest’ charge, the States and municipalities as much more, the quasi- public. corporations an equal amount, and the merchants and manufacturers and farm- ers as much as all the others together, the laboring masses have enjoyed similar and proportionate advantages. They are work- ing now on full time and at good wages, They receive their pay promptly, Their. families have more -comfort in life. The ‘extension of- railroads, the construction of new rolling stock, the running of more trains, the large amount of building that is going on in this and other cities, the renewal of warehouses and ma- chinery, the running of mills and furnaces on tujl time,—thes@ and all the other elements of prosperity and progress have extended to the working classes their share of the béne- fits that run back.in the end to the mainte- nance of public faith, as realized in the re- sumption of specie payments. Can the American people seriously con-. template a “change” trom the condition of |. things we have described and which every intelligent man can recognize for himself? Is there the smallest temptation now to experi- ment with the financial! policy of the Govern- ment?. Is there any reason why the Govern- ment should now retire the National-bank notes merely to double the amount of légal- tender paper in‘ violation of the constitu- tional restriction defined by the Supreme Court? Willit’be wise to forego the ayail- able advantages of refunding at 3}¢ per cent interest and pay off $880,000,000 of maturing bonds merely to deplete the Treasury of its coin and stop specie payments? Yet these are the experimental projects proposed by the Greenbackers, and virtually approved by the Democratic candidate for President and the Democratic managers who have been making merry over the report of a fiat infla- tion success, and who are everywhere co- quetting with the leaders of the Greenback party. Every man ‘who réalizes and appre-- ciates the present condition of things as contrasted with the common depression and dejection of two years ago should bring these considerations back to himself, his business, and his family, and then decide whether or not he wants a‘ change.” WHY IRISHMEN SHOULD VOTE THE RE- PUBLICAN TICKET. f The speech that was made by Col. W. P. Rend, one of our.most active and enterpris- ing Irish citizens, to the Irish Republican Club on Thursday evening.last, should be thoughtfully read by every [rishman in Chi- cago. Col. Rend knows full well of what he’ is speaking and of itstruth. He spent many years of his life in the South as a Democrat, prior.to the outbreak of the Slaveholders’ Rebellion. Though a sympathizer with the Democracy and identified with the South, he was too good an American and too hearty a lover of the National Government to fight against it. He accordingly left: the South and joined the Union army, and fought in its. defense. After the War he drifted back into the Democratic party, but lately, unable | to follow thaf unpatriotic organization in its : subserviency to. the Confederate South, and in its effort to advance the Confederates to supremacy in the -Government, he allied himself with the Republicans. The words of such a man, guaranteed by his experience in the South: and in the Democratic party, and of one who stands 80 high as a represent- ative lrishman in this city, should haye great weight among his countrymen. We, quote from his speech the following extracts as particularly worthy of their consideration: He could congratulate the Irish-American Republicans of Chicago who had bud the strength to out loose from the Democratic party and to form a club with a membership of 60, of whom be.was proud to heone. They had voted tho Democratic ticket. for twenty yeurs, ‘but had uecomplished no evil thereby, the votes. being thrown away in the general Democratic defeat during: the time. They were the Falians van- guard of‘n mighty exodus of the Irish peuple, trom the misguided ranks of the Democracy. They had fought for the Union in order: that loyalty wight be made to prevail ovor treason. They had helped to place law uppermost, and now it behvoved the to place mon in oltice who would respect those Inws and cause them to be respeated. ~ Having cut_the unnatural bonds which tied them to the Democratic party, thoy could no longer be the slaves of those who showered blandishments upon. the Irish people, before election but who in reality despisod and hated everything Irish except the Iriah vote. + And again:- The Irishmen of this country owed little to the South, while they did owea great debt to the Nurth, and yet they stood’ in u position of antagonism to these among. whom wey had come to live. In the entire Southern States, there were Jess Irishmen than baif the number to be found in Massachusetts, and not as many as there are in the City of Chicago. There are other considerations besides ‘to'bé Subjected to these which ought‘to appeal. with irresi: ble force to Irishmen to cast their inflnence and their yotes upon the side of the Repub- licans: ‘Yne Inshnian’ conies wo this country to obtain the ,means of livelihood and the right to enjoy his earnings, which he can- not have in Ircland under, the brutal rule of the English: landlord ‘taskmasters. Who give him work 'ana‘wages in this country ? In ninety cases out of 100 Republicans, be- cause they embrace the great bulk of tho employing class. Four-fifths ‘of the Irish- men of this country are’ working for and are paid by Republicans,-in railroad corpora- tions, in building, in manufactories, in stores, and’ sliops, and yet they ‘vote against the’ very men who-are finding them moncy to buy bread. Who are the'men that have come to the relief of their suffering friends in Ire- land, and have never hesitated, though called upon more than once, to lavishly contribute tq their relief?.The Republicans .of the North. Who are the men who, every day, month, and year,’are contributing to: help Irish charities of all kinds, and who never refuse to assist the asylums and hospitals? The Republicans. And yet they continue voting against them. Witha blindness which has been- remarkable, to-say the least, the Irish have cast in their lot with: a party which has never done anything for them, and have voted against their real friends. They have allowed Democratic demogogs to throw dust in their eyes year after year, and have blindly and recklesly followed their bad aavice, though it was contrary to their in- terests, The Irishman is a Nationalist in sentiment, although - voting with the State-supremacy and Secession party. We do not believe it would be possible to finda speech from any lrishman, Repub- Hean or’ Democrat, in which State-sover- eignty is advocated, and yet they vote with a party that makes the State superior to the Nation and declares the right of secession at any time. The Irishman, ‘as a rule, is'a workingman. The North gives him work and pays him well for it, It educates his children by taxing the wealthy. It elevates and dignifies his labor in every way, and yet he votes with a section which will not give him work, which burns down school-houses and -drives teAchers away, which degrades labor into slavery and the- laborer. into a chattel. He votes with the old pro-slavery aristocracy which despises a laborer, wheth~ er white or black, and which has . not only ground the negro down into the dust, but has made the’ condition-of the poor whites worse than that of the blacks. The Irishman is a protectionist rather than a free trader, He wants to keep English and all other foreign goods from glutting Ameri~ ean markets and to encourage our home manufactures,, and yet he.votes with the South, which is not satisfied with tariff re~ form, but wants free trade and direct taxa~ tion in order to break down Northern manufactures altogether. His entire re~ lation to the Democratic party is an absurdi- ty and an inconsistency, but it is an -en- couraging sign of the times that Irishmen, especially the young men, are beginning to get their eyes open to where their interests are, and to understand the tricks of the demagogs who have boen misleading them. Large numbers of them hage come over to the Republicans, and that nimber will steadi- ly increase in the futur ‘ MAJ. BROCKWAY. There isno more important county office to be filled in Cook this fall than that of Re- corder. Its routine is so intimately con- nected with the business interests of the city and with the property of our ‘citizens that only a first-class man should be intrusted with its duties. It is too important an office sh expetiments or changes. If the present’ incumbent has shown himself qualified for the position he should be renominated and reflected. Maj. Brockway has now held the office three years anda half, and during that time has indisputably shown ‘himself to be a faithful, honest, economical, and able public servant, } whose administration has given satisfaction to all classes of the community. In his at- tention to the details of the office he has shown rare. busitiess qualities and executive ability. Prior to his taking possession of the office it had cost $12,000 over and above receipts to run it. During the time Maj. Brockway has been in service he has paid its expenses out of receipts and placed §28,000 in the County Treasury. During the last six months alone he has paid the County Treasurer $8,903. Such a record as this is more eloquent in its plea for his continuance in the office than any other that can be made. In every department of it, in his relations to his employés, in his relations to the business- men of this city, in his character as a gentle- man, and in his record as a Republican, there is every reason to convince the people of this county why no change should be made. There should be no. opposition to his unan- imous renomination, and his renomination will be tantamount to an election by an im- mense majority..A mors faithful man for the place cannot be found. Tue Caicaco Trisoxe has for years en- deayored to point out to the public authori- ties that the pawnbrokers’ shops, as a class, were schools for crime, and that the crimes of burglary, robbery, larceny, and pocketpick- ing were only profitable because of the aid, encouragement,and protection of these pawn- brokers. The record of these establishments inthis city for the last ten years has been one of successful. villainy. The name of every thief in the business is as familiar to the police as is that of Mayor Harrison. Their detection {n crime has been repeated, and yet-the wholo police, the law, and the machinery of the law have been unable tocon- vict one of the guilty wretches. The story of Lesser Friedberg, involving every possible crime, including that of the murder of Officer Race, is still remembered, and yet this scoun- drel carries on his business under the protec- tion of the police as if he were ‘an angel of purity. On Friday another of these men was caught with $700 worth of diamonds taken from a ‘drunken youth, not entered on any book, and the possession or knowledge of which he vehemently denied for hours, and it was at last forced from him. Will he be sent tothe Penitentiary? Will the Mayor even revoke his license ? 2 ——————_—_—— Aw increase of ‘the Judges of this county in November, and a slight enlargement of the present law of tho State, will enable the assignment of onc, two, or even three addi- tional Judges to the trial of criminal cases until such time as the docket of the Court can be cleared up, the jail emptied by con- viction or acquittal, and the adininistration of criminal Jaw ba so expedited that it can keep step with the findings of the Grand Jury. Had we now two or three Criminal Courts in continuous ‘session, promptly’ trying crimi- nals, there would be more respect for, and more fear of, the law on the part of the crim- inal class.” One Court could find most excel- lentemployment for at least sixty days in the scrutiny ‘of forfeited ball-bonds, In the enforcement, of the’ penalties under those bonds, and the rigid prosecution ‘of ‘the wholesale perjuries daily practiced by per-" - sons signing those-bonds. All other defenses falling, perjury by persons signing bail-bonds is now the only resort of criminals; and a. court, that would Hold a special term to in- vestigate these perjuries, bring the criminals to punishment, and eventually bring the bust- ness of giving bail to an honest and responsi- s ald render a service to the publ more than compensating for any: increas ost for judicial‘salariés.* .'.° The mere matter of cost of ‘providing-ad- ditional Judges to try criminal cases is one of insignificance. . It is fast becoming @ ques- tion whether this community 1s to be governed. by the criminal class, ‘or whether. law and justice and legal authority are to be. aaintained. Thesé Courts are a necessity at this time, and the item of expense for salaries of Judgesand of Assistant State’s Attorneys should not be permitted to have any weight in the matter. : £ . Under the Constitution there can be no other increase in.the number of Judges.in this county until after thecensus of 1890, and by that time the population of the county may exceed a million. Thecurrent additions to the population do not fall short of. thirty, to forty thousand a year, and the addition will increase in proportion with the expan- sion of the population. Long before 1890 the present addition to the number of Judges of this county will prove altogether Inadequate to: the judicial wants of the people, and an additional increase will then have to be made to meet their needs. Says a Democratic paper, commenting on asentence of Conkling’s speech: ~ “I Garfield and Arthur: aro chosen,” Mr, Gonlkling says; the increased army “will be filled up with Union men; if Hancock and English, by men who went with their States.” Does Mr. Conkling mean to say that a Republican Admin- istration, ip iieroas ing the army for any emer gency, wollld .diserimin: mentsin favorof the Northern section of the Gnion; pies according to his view, all “Union men" reside? No; he m2ans to say nothing of the sort; heis referfing to the officers, as the whole context of his remarks shows. The Demo- Confeds care nothing about who fills the ranks,—it is the offices they are after, in the regular army, as well as out of if. In making enlistments for the ranks no discrimination has been made since the close of the War. Ex-Rebs are as. free to enlist as ex-Union or any other kind of privates. Able-bodied young men, who can pass 8 surgeon’s examina- tion, are accepted, irrespective of their polit- ical antecedents or sentiments, Buta differ- ent. role , prevails’ -in regard to those who hold the’ offices in the regular army. Men who were educated at West Point at the Nation’s expense, and who, after swearing allegiance to the Nation, wearing its uniform and.carrying its arms, eating its bread and drawing its money, deliberately. broke their oaths, committed perjury, and deserted its flag, joined the forces of rebellion and treason, and waged war on the Government that had nurtured and educated ‘them; for this class of perjured: traitors: the Recon- struction acts Jay down a different rule. The law excludes them from reoccupying the of- fices which they deserted in the hour of the Nation's emergency. The Republicans pro- pose to continue to discriminate against them and exclude them from resuming com- mands in the National army. Hancock and English want them restored; ex-Copperheads want them restored; and all the Confederates want them restored. If the Democrats suc- ceed at the election, thosa foresworn desert- ers will be-replaced in the commissions they forfeited and the posts they betrayed, —_—— ASTRONOMICAL, e os Chicago (TRIBUNE olfice), north latitude 41 deg. 62m. 578.; west longitude 42m. 183, from Wash- ington, and 5b. 50m. 30s. from Greenwich.
