A clause relating to the federal judiei- ary which has an important bearing upon parts not half way across the continent from Omahia was stricken out of a special bill in the senate on Friday. The little joker of a sentence reade as follows That no person related to any justice judge of any court of the United States by affinity or consanguinity, within the degree of first consin, shall be appointed by such court or Judge, or employed by such court or judge in any office or duty in any coutt of which such justice or judge may bea men The passage of such a prohibition would play puck with the perquis ites of several families in the United | States which held high and mighty and perpetual possession of federal court houses in this land of freedom. It would knock out of handsome j a number of clerks of courts, r ters in chancery, and special commissioners, It would close the upon more than or “Juerative practice,” which is lucrative targely becanse elients think they know on which side their t 1 is butrered. doors “Mr. President,” said Senator Coke, on the Rth of June when this subject was under deba b e favor the amendment which prohibits federal judges from filling the oftices of their courts with their tions. Some portions of the country have suf+ fered sufliciontly from this cause and it ought to stop. I'he administration of justice in some of the courts has been hampored too long already by this evil and it should come to an end. Tho foun tains of justice should be pure and no icion allowed to existthat fawily ties or family influence interferes with judi- cial administration.”’ Mr. Coke was quite right. F spoke from Texan experience. mauinder of the senate had evidently Lad experience, for on that date the clause was agreed to without dissent. It W stricken out of the bill on Friday to save the measure to which it was attached But it will come up] again. And then what n scattering there will be among the cushioned chairs of the court ante rooms, Times Have Changed. One of our exchanges notes that Mr. Jay Gould's neighbors up at Irvington report a good deal of pomp and magnifi- cent circumstance in the coming and going of the stock market magnate on his yacht Atalanta. When his little Isunch puts him aboard of his big yacht in the morning ready for his trip to the city, he puts his foot on her deck to the tune of a cunnon’s velley and an unfurling of flags, and at night when she comes to her anchorage off bis summer mansion there is more cannonadimg and o lively, not to sy regal, dipping of color Things have changed somewhat in the last few yoars. There was a time when Jay Gould took bhis boat trips on the river with as little display as possible. On the day when the Erie magnate seudded down West street with the rail- rou bonds under his arm, several millions of the stockholders' sash in his pockets and n posse of police at hus heels, there was no gun fived onthe ferry boat as it backed rapidly into the Hudson out of reach of tho ofticers of the law. No fings wer (infurled from the ““Wiehaw- ken'’ as it brought supplies and daily papers to Gould, Fisk & Co. in their lonely camp on the Hoboken heights where the railway robber and his pals were hiding from New York justic There was no “‘regal dipping of color: on that memorable occasion when the sheriff of New York county and six depu- ties flew to and fro across the Hudson vainiy trying to serve Judge Barnard's injunction on the crafty Gould through the windows of the Erie ferryboat. Dis- play and publicity were the lust things Jay Gould was guuning after in those haleyon days of the Erie plunder, when the historic printing press had done its work and Commodore Vanderbilt gazed ruefully on the $10,000,000 of bogus stock which he had purchased in the open mar- ke Lhe Juy Gould of 1808 and the Jay Gould of 1886 are the same.

The gonnine sensation iu the formation of the new Britlsh cabinet is the selec- tion of Lord Randolph Churchill as chan- cellor of the exchequer. This offico makes Lord Randolph the leader of the tory party in the house of commons and will pit higs as the party spokesman aganst My, Gludstone on the opposition bench, The decendant of John Churchill, the I | Marlborough of Blenheim, has many ot the traits of bis fauious ancestor, e is Lold to andacity, serenely coutident in his own resources, a successful orator and u party leader who has risen to prominence by shouldering himself to the ront of many better and abler public men. As a politician he is known to possess a dexterity in turning sowmer- saults from one position to another and always landing on his feet, As a states- man be is generally dubbed deficient in fequipment and incapable of sustained sad deep stuldy of importaut public ques- | tions. But his ability as an orator, his y stccess in adapting his policy to changes of public opinion and his briliant andac- | ity in debate make him to-day the most popular leader in his party and have pushed him to the leading government position in the house of commons, It | will now be in Churchill’s grasp to ont line an Trish policy which will cut the | ground from under tho teet of M. | Gladstone and secure the support of at | least the tington-Chamberlain wing of the liberal party. There are good rea sons for believing that this is the pro- gramme which the dexterous political ac robat has already mapped out. Lord Randolph will shortly be given a chance | to duplicate Disraeli's famous feat on the | reform bill. Rumors are flying thick | and fast in London that home rule bill drawn up by Charchill has already been submitted to Chamberlain and gamed | his approval, and that overtures have been made to the Irish party with a view to securing their support. 1t remains to be seen whether the ionalists will bite at the tempting bait or stand firmly for home rule onthe basis of the plan pro- posed by Mr. ( Mexico's Unropublican . The popular impression regarding the political system of Mexico is that it is purely republican, and the interest felt in this country respecting the neighboring nation, ordinarily spoken of as the “‘sister republie,” is largely duo to this impros- sion. Itisa fact, however, that whilo the form of republicanism is observed in the tion of the government, much of the machinery and mothods of the govern- mental systom are as far removed from pure republican conditions as they could well be and retamm o semblance of re- puvlicanism. For example, in the ele tion of members of congress the prople do not choose their reprosentatives, and no member of congress ean be said to have a personal constituencey, or to be in any measure responsible toa particular locality. The popular voting is indirect, the people electing electors who choose the so-culled representatives of the people to suit themselves. As arule the persons thus chosen are not mentioned at the time of voting, so that the people haveno opportunity to pass upon their character or qualifications, and in the recent choice of congress- men it is undoubtedly a fact that men were chosen by the electoral boards for districts where they were little known or not known at all. ~ Such a sys- tem as this preserves only a shadow of re- publicanism, recognizing the vight of the people to a voice in the choico of their representatives, but really depriving them of the most vaiuable privileges and ad- vantages which should accompany that right-—as a personal knowledge of candi- dates, the ascertainment of their views on public questions, and the opportunity to impress upon them the sentiments and desires of the people. There is no public political discussion, for the reason that while not absolutely inhibited it is accompanied by so much risk thatit is an invitation to martyrdom to attempt it. Attack upon the government in the form of adverse criticism subj the offender to the danger of arrest asa disturber of the public peace, and the right of the governiiigiit fo protect itself in this way against the expression of hos- tile public opinion is as rigidly enforced as is the suppression of popular dis- cussion of the affuirs of government in Russia. Indeed, in no couatry is there freedom in this direction t in Mexico. Under the cxisting government laws impairing the froedom of the press, which had long been obsolete, haye been revived, and the right of public assembly hus been practically denied. It is stated that within the past vear no less than forty-four editors and students have been imprisoned in the city of Mexico alone, charged with no other offense than that of publicly dissenting trom the policy of the administration, A strict censorship is maintained over the press, which is not confined to the editorial comments, but extends tothe news also. In short, the government employs every practicable means to smother popular sentiment re- spectiug its course and policy, and en- forces these means with o degree of op- pression and tyranny elsewhere unknown he dominions of the ¢zar, ie created by the recent out- The rages upen American citizens has di- rected attention to the unrepublican char- acter of the laws under which these out- rages are sought to be justified— laws which, in the language of Secretary Bayard, “affect the underlying principles of security to personal liberty ana free- dom of specch, or expression, which are among the main objects sought to be se: cured by our framework of governmen It is discovered that we are living next door to a people, with whom we are de- sirous of maintaining terms of neigh- borly friendship, whose laws and whose methods of jurisprudence not only con- travene the most vital prineiples of a re- publican system of government, but in- volve assumptions and pretensions which this government cannot tolerate without abandoning all regard for justice and the safety of its eitizens. In view of all this it seems to be entirely pertinent to as Is Mexico really a republic? The Fight in New York. The politienl campaign in New York this fall, which is beginning to develop points of interest, is likely to be watched with a good deat of eoncern by both par- ties, The democrats will make a hard struggle to obtain control of the next leg- islature, in order to elect a successor to Senator Warner Miller, and the political complexion of the next house is the main question of the contest. The present senate holds over with a republican ma- jorluy of eight, and the democrats to se- cure a majority in joint ballot must in- crease their present representation of {ifty in the house to sixty-nine. This is a most difficult task, which the republicans believe cannot be accomplished, and this faith has brought forth nearly a score of republican candidates for Miller's seat, with some dark horses in the back ground. Apart from the natural demo- cratic desire to obtamn control of the na- tional senate during the last two years of Mr. Cleyeland's administration, it would be especially interesting to the party to eleet u senator from the president’s own state, and undoubtedly the presi- dent would greatly relish such a result in event of the choice falling to Governor Hill, which it easily would do if he desired it. With Hill in the sen- ate the chances of Mr. Cleveland for 1838 would be very counsiderably mmproved, but there i8 reason to suspect that the governor understands so well what the possibilities of the future are for him that he will not consent’te be taken to | United States i< at Yonkers, N. Y.

Congress and the Cutting Matter, The house committee on foreign affairs, atacalled meeting on Tuesday, considered the issue that has been raised between the governments of Mexico and the United States growing out of the arrest by the authorities of Chihuah Mexico, and the imprisonment at Paso del Norte, of AL K. Cutting, an American citizen. The character of this case is familiar to the public. Cutting published in his paper, printed at El Paso, Texas, a statement regarding a citizen of Mexico, and on going to Pasodel Norte, where he resides, Cutting was ested and thrown into prison. Demands of the American minister and consul for his release, made by authority of the president, were dis- wded, and the Mexiean government held that he is amenable to tue laws of that country for the offense committed on American soil. This assumption was peremptorily rejected by the state de- partment and assurances were given by the Mexiean minister that Cut- ting would be speedily released. The government of Mexico, however, appears not to have sustamed the assurance of its minister, and Cutting is still in prison. At the meoting of the foreign affairs com- mitteo resolutions were introduced vy Representative Crain, of Texus, setting forth the facts in the case, approving the action of tho president in demanding the release of Cutting, and requesiing him to renew the demand. These slutions were adopted by the committee unani- mously. This significant action, which will be approved by the people of the en- tire country, may be accepted by the Mexican government as assurance that the government of the United States will tolerate no further ‘trifling in this mat- ter, and that unless the proper demands of thisgovernnrent are fully and promptly complied with Mexico must prepare take the consequences., We doubt that this action will produce the desared result. 4 Ix his messago appraving the oleo- margarine bill, the president presents some very cogent reasons for his action and in support of the moasure. The manutacturers of pleomargarine will hardly venture, for example, to deny the force of the following vie “If the ox- istence of the commodityitaxed and the profits of its manufafture and sale de- pend upon disposing of it to the people for something else which it deceitfully imitates, the entire enterprise is a fraud and not an industry; and if it cannot endure the exhibition of its real charac- ter, which will be effected by the inspec- tion, supervision and stamping whic h the bill directs, the sooncr it is destroyed the better in the interest of fair dealing.” Nor will there be any question among the honest producers of this commodity re- specting the following just and wise con- clusions: *“Nor should there be opposi- tion to the incideatal effect of this legis- lation on the part of those who profess to be engaged honestly snd fuirly in the manufacture and sale of a wholesome and valuable article of food, which, by its provisions, may be subject to taxation. As long as this business is carried on under cover and by false protenses, such men have bad companionsin those whose tures, however vile and harm- ke their place without challenge with the better part in a commion crusade of decert agninst the publie. But if this occupation and its methods are forced into light, and all these manufactures must thus either stand upon their merits or fall, the good and bad must soon part company nnd the fittest only will sur- vive.'' In this matter the president has acted in the interest of the people, and he has given such convincing reasons for his action as ought to satisfy every fair-minded man, —_— Lasr spring, when the board of educa- tion organized by electing the three democrats in the board, out of the nine members, to the offices of president, vice president and secretary, the event was hailed as a great viotory for non parti- sunship in the public schools.

The Execution of John Brown. J.T. L. Preston, in August Bivouae: Shortly before 11 o’clock the prisoner was taken from jail and the funeralcor- tege was put in motion. First came three companies, then the criminal's wagon drawn by two large whnite horses. John Brown was seated on his coffin, accom- panied by the sheriff and two other p sons. The wagon drove to the foot of the gallows, and Brown descended with alacrity and without assistance and as- cended the steps to the platform. His demeanor was intrepid, without being braggart. He made no speech; whether e decided to make ona or not Ido net know; even if he had desired it, it would not have been permitted. Any speeoh of his must of necessity have been un- lawful, as being directed against the peace and dignity of the commonweulth, and as such could not be allowed ny those who were then engaged in the most solemn and extreme vindication of law. “John Brown's manner gave no evi- dence of limidity, but his countenance was not free from concern, and it seomad to mo to have a little cast of wildness. Ho stood upon the seaffold but & short time, glvlnf brief adieus to those about him, when he was properly pinioned, the white cap drawn over his fuce, the noose adjusted and attached to the hook above, and he was moved, blindfold, & few stops forward.

The man who stood unblenehed on the brink of cwrniwh;wus afraid of falling a fow feet to the ground! : s vnr,y\lnuf was uow in readiness.

Trial of Lieutenant McBlain for Conduct Unbecoming an Oficer and a Gentleman A Cheyenne special says murtial The court roceedings now in_ progress in for the trial of Licutenant John f the Ninth Umted States o continued and wide- The accused is John F. rgzes n are that he has been guilty of conduct nnbecoming an officer and a gentleman, in that he fraudulently obtained a di vorce from his wife by representing that he was a citizen ot California when he had no legal residence therc; that he failed to send to his wife the proper le, uotice of the proceedings in- the divorce suit, and that he concealod from the conrt certain in reg: 0 his rela- tions with would have e grantec wse has now been on trial for three days and the facts so far developed tend to establish m the minds of those who have watched the proceedings that McBlain has been unjustly proscented i the matter and that sonicthing beyond the merits of the case has been the moving cause of the charges being his wife whicl, if known provenied his hiving the di- brought inst him, 1t is shown tha left his home in Philadelpha shc after his mar , in 1878, for San ¥ cisco, intending to locate there and send for his wife to join him; that failing to find employment there he joined the reg- ular arniy s a private and constant altereations and dift his wife culminating finally in a separa- tion, he instituted proceedings in July 1881, to obtain a divorce. The records of the Onhifornia court which granted the divorco in October, 1881, show that the plaintift performed all of the lawful re- quirements on his partin the procecaings, and that proper notice of the institution of the proccedings was sent to Mrs, McBlain in the usual and regular man- ner. It is also shown that in_1885, Mrs. MecBlain and _her attorney, William D} Kolley, Jr., of Philadelphia, &on of Con- gressman Kelley, Weit to California and attempted to rcopen the case, alleging that she had never received any notifica: tion ot the proceedings. The court heard their motion and refused to reopen the case. This fact, which has not been made public by the eastern pi in their com- ments on the matter n nccount for the great interest Congressman Kelly has taken in the case. Young Mr, Kelly, defeated in his at- tumrv. to reopen the divorce case before the California courts, sought s father's influence to aid him in obtaining satis. faction in another divection, and last spring when Mr. McBlain was promoted to a first licutenancy the elder Kelley ap- peared before the senate committee on military affairs and prevented his con- i ch:uginfi; that MeBlain's al leged reasons for obtaining the divor from his wife were that lis altered rank in life, having been promoted from the ranks'to a licutenancy, so changed their soeial relutions that she was no longer equal. After the refusal of the scnate com- il to recommend his confirmation to t licutenancy, McBlan asked for a trinl before a court murtial, and the rd is convened at g request, at pres prog ing, ) is acquitted or not, it will become very evident to those who m% the testimony that what- leBlain had for obtaining a divorco from his wife, that assigned by Mr. Kelley does not scem to have been the correct one, and that if the prosecu- tion does not make out a stronger ecase than they have done so far that the chances for the complewe vindication of McBluin are favorable.
