A few days ago the New York Herald started a story to the effect that it Colonel CorkhW's Ufa had been spared he would hay astonished the world by showing that Gulteau was only one of a band of conspirators, and that the assassination of Qsn-eral Garfield was the result of a coolly formed plot No intimation was given a to who those rnystlo plotters were.

Not to bo outdone in this gboulishnees, the New York Sun now comes to the front with a story which Is in effect an attack upon the late Judge David Darts. Improbable as the story is, it deserves some consideration, albeit no encouragement should be given to what may well be ealled hyena Journalism. The story is In brief this: Judge Davis was elected United States Senator Jan. 25, 1877, the very day that the electoral commission bill passed the Senate. The next day It passed the House.

Between the time that he was elected and the time when the House, which was Democratic, voted on the bill, Henry B. Payne, now United States Senator from Ohio, but then member of the House, called upon the Judge to know whether. In case the bill became a law, he would accept a place on the com mission. Air. Payne Is represented as tail ing Judge Davis that unless the Democrats of the House could have assurances to that effect, and also that he would support the Tilde side of the case, they would not pass the bill It Is added that the Judge thereupon gave the desired assurance on both points.

At he subsequently positively refused to serve on the. commission this story amounts to charging him with downright treachery. This report, if true, would put Air Payne and his Democratic associates in a very unenviable position. It would show an attempt on their part to load the dice, to pack the Jury, and outwit the Re publicans by secret and underhand work. It is as If Captain Black or Mr.

Foster bad secretlv conferred with some judge to see which side he sympathized with, and re ceiving assurances that he was a Parsons-Spiea man, should have so reported to the rest of the counsel for the defense, whereupon they would have united in asking for a change of venue to that Judge. There Is not proba bly a man on the bench In all Illinois who would tolerate any such negotiations, nor would any respectable lawyer stoop to such baseness. It is entirely safe to say that Judge Davis would have spurned from him with righteous indignation Ur. Payne or any other man who should have oorae to him on, any such errand. -It Is not Improbable, however, that Air.

Payne and a majority of the Democrats of the House fully expected that Judge Davis would be offered and would accept a place on the commission, and that he would see la the balance of power he would hold a golden opportunity to win Democ ratio favor. For five or six years he had been drifting away from the Bepubllcaa party, and was supposed to have bis eye on the Presidency, through the support of the Democrats. This general supposition was the only basis, probably, of the hope prevalent among the Democrats that he would be the umpire In the case. Possibly Mr. Payne attempted, in a roundabout and cautious manner, to call the Judge out, and that Inferences were drawn from the results of that attempt which proved to be erroneous, but we doubt if there Is even that much basis for the report.

Certain It Is that Judge Davis lost no time, after his election to the Senate, in making known tit determination not to terra on the coca-, mission. He showed no unseemly haste, but upon the very first opportunity he made public his purpose in the matter. Judge Davis could have had no motive to deceive Mr. Psyne. He derived no advantage from the passage of the bill.

Indeed, since his self-respect would not allow hiin to accept a place on the commission, and the party to whtoh he was drifting would be displeased with bis refusal, his personal Interest would demand the defeat of the bilL This fact of Itself Is enough to stamp the Sun story aa the baseless fabric of lie. A writer tor the Brooklyn Eagle comes forward as a friend of Judge Davis to refute the Sun's charge. He maintains that Judge Davis, having been elected by a compromise of the parties, did not feel at liberty to arbitrate between (hem. This Is a misapprehension. David Davis was not indebted to the Republicans of the General Assembly for his election.

Only one voted for him, Mr. Easton. of this city, and he changed off to Judge Jjawrenoe before the vote was announced. We refer, of course, to the thirty-ninth ballot, Jan. 25, when the long agony closed.

The third party members and the Democrats decided the The truth is that the Democrats very generally surmised that by electing him to the Senate the party had captured his support on the commission, and made Tllden's final suocess a moral certainty. And the Republicans in Congress seemed to feel a good deal the same way. The vote In the Senate showed only one Democrat against the bill Eaton of Connecticut), and in the House, of the 86 nays 6S came from the Republican side. In Loth branches of Congress, but more especially the House, the bill was a Democratic as shown by the votes. All the Democrats in the House from Illinois were for it, all the Republicans against It.

Judge Davis himself referred in his speeches in the Senate to his election by Democrats. It is easy to understand how a man of David Davis fine sense of honor would find it Impossible to serve on that commission. He could not decide against the Democracy without being accused of Ingratitude, nor for it without laying himself liable to the accusation being influenced by the favor he had accepted at its bands. Trained in the judicial school, he was obliged to decline to hear a case to which he sustained those peculiarly embarrassing relations. That delicate and high sense of honor was characteristic of David Davis.

THE VETO. Mayor Harrison did a commendable thing last night in returning the tunnel ordinance to the Council without his approval If the reasons assigned therefor had been Illogical in substance and bung-lingly expressed, the exercise of the veto power would still have been deserving of commendation. But as a matter of tact the message Is with a few exceptions an admirable document in both matter and manner, and as a whole reflects great credit upon its author. This much it Is only fair to say, without claiming by any means that It Is above critic Ism. A good many defects In the character of the ordinance are pointed out, every one of which Is pertinent and Important; and any one of them would be a sufficient reason, standing alone, to justify 'the veto.

It Is not to be supposed that the aldermen who voted for the ordinance on its original passage realized, the looseness of the measure and the utter absence of safeguards at almost every point, but It Is safe to say that they knew in a general way that the rights of the city and the people were being subordinated to the Interests of a private corporation. It Is not necessary to reiterate theae preliminary objections, as they may be called. The general discussion of the ordinance would have been weakened oy going into inas multiplicity of details, but in a formal review of the whole matter it was wise to be critical at every point, however minute. The Mayor is no doubt right In maintaining that the Council has no right to either sell or rent the tunnel, strictly speaking; but the money exacted for its use must' come under the head of license fee. This distinction between rental and license Is not material to the merits of the case, and in the popular discussion of the subject rental la the proper term to use; but In the ordinance itself legal nloetlee of expression must be scrupulously observed, lest some loop-hole for evasion and abuse should be furnished.

The Mayor exposes, with clearness, the fraud of charging a nominal fee of $20,000 a year and then allowing the company to take It out in maintenance expenses, happily concluding that the actual revenues derived, if paid In silver dollars, could be carried In a match-box. After a careful consideration of the facts which ought to be taken into account in determining the rental or license charge, Mayor Harrison concludes that $25,000 a year would be about fair, and It is evident that he means $25,000 a year net. This la a very fair charge. I With this $25,000 per annum as his base of calculation the Mayor proceeds to suggest two modifications; first, that the cash payment into the general municipal treasury should be $10,000 a year, the rest going to build a bridge over Clark street like the one at Rush street; and. second, that the building of another of the same sort over Wells street should be accepted In' lieu of any cash payment Into' the treasury of the city.

The. reasons given for these bridge propositions are cogent; but there Is one Important blunder, or worse, In the proposition for a total release on aocsunt of the Wells street bridge. That' is this: The ordinance as a whole involves a lease of twenty years, but the- Mayor proposes to relieve the company from the payment of any tunnel fee so long as it may use the tunnel. He probably means so long aa It Is used under the ordinance. That, cer tainly.

Is what the arrangement should be. It would be a manifest wrong, not a fatal blunder, to pledge to the company the free use of the tunnel beyond the period of its lease, or to afford anv excuse to onah alalm Twenty years will THE DAILY IKTEK OCEAtf; TUESDAY MOnNDftx JULY 13, 1880; soon tun their course, and what shall be done alter toe expiration of the franchise should not be embarrassed by anything. ambiguous or cioar, in the ordinance now '-'i' The Msyor makes no reference to com mutation tickets. It Is very well known that the North Chicago Railway Company la especially opposed to any such require meat, but that is no reason why it should not be Insisted upon. Admitting that a uniform charge of Ove cents a ride Is none too much on a horse car line, It should st ill be true that a cable line could afford to sell twelve-rlde tickets for fifty cents and twenty-live ride tickets for one dollar, and If the Mayor and the Council would only Insist upon It this concession to the people would be secured.

v- I TEE BZW ZBALAJD Intelligence was received on. June 11 from New Zealand that an awful earth quake and volcano had devastated the district of Tarawara, in the southeastern part of the province of Auckland. Many Interior villages were burled In the ashes that foil. Mllea of country were disturbed. The loss of life was very great Now comes the news that appalling volcanoes and earthquakes have broken out In the Auokiand Lake country, sweeping over leagues of territory, and leaving In their wake dire destruction and death.

The two awful occurrences have several things in common. They both came swiftly and with little or no warning. Both burled villages In the ashes which came from the volcanoes. Both were attended by great loss of life and property. And both are in the same portion of the prov ince of Auckland.

New Zealand Is divided Into two main islands, known respectively as North Island and South Island. North Island is composed of the provinces of Auckland, Hswko Bay, Taranaka, and Wellington. Auckland comprises more than half the entire Island. This is the land of the famous but fated Maori, North Island may be described as having the irregular out lines of a boot, suggesting Italy end Sicily, particularly the latter, so far as the Auckland Province is concerned. The Auckland Lake district or country is south and east of the citv of Auckland, and Is like Minnesota, Switzerland, or Scotland as regards its numerous and beautiful lakes.

It Is about sixty miles long, that is, north and south, by about the same distance east and West The harbor and town of Tauranga are southeast of Auckland, about a day's journey by water on the coast of the Bay of Plenty. Tauranga is at once a camp, a mission station. and a thriving settlement which has a good harbor for small craft, and the land there is very fertile, la a direct line south Is the Auckland Lake district This country is traversed by the great river Wai-kato, the Mississippi of North Island. This river has tor its heading Lakes Taupo and There Is Tarawara Village as well as Tarawara Mount, and there It was that the terrible Visitation by volcano and and earthquake occurred scarcely two months ago. On the west aide of the Walkato River and across from the lake, mountain, and village that bear the name of Tarawara are the mountains called the Paeroa Range.

Thee mountains are about 1,000 feet above the surrounding plain, and are some thirty-five miles In length. The dispatches from New Zealand state that Mount Tarawara was the first volcano to break forth. This eruption soon extended to the entire Paeroa Range, whose tunnels and craters speedily filled the sir with smoke, flames, lava, and stones, and these fell covering the country for 120 miles one way by twenty miles the other. This terrible rain continued for two days, a part of the time being so dense that the sky was clouded during the day aa if It had been night The disturbances extended to the geysers, which are very numerous, especially in North Island. The great geyser districts of jiie world are in Iceland, the National Yellowstone Park, and the North Island of New Zealand.

To give a brief description of a geyser, let it suffice to say that it Is a volcano in which heated water. Instead of molten rock, la forced out from the vent by the escaping steam. They exist In greatest abundanoe where subterranean action Is becoming dormant or extinct. Up to this latest eruption, there have been only three active volcanoes in New Zetland. hojce usriruiioss.

Home Institutions as well as home Industries should be patronized and protected. All other things being equal, this Is not merely fair and right; Jt la also good economy and sound In sense and principle. A community has a manufacturing establishment within Its borders. Its output consists of articles aa cheap and serviceable as any that find their way into the market It is the part of wisdom for that community to Invest Its moneys le the purchase of the home-made article. Funds thus invested in domestic manufactures are sure to find their way Into local channels again, to be used over and over again In the same circles, and to be available In many departments of busi ness.

Employes are necessary to keep up such establishments, and (hey must be maintained in food and' clothing? In fuel and homes, and ail that goes to make life worth living. There oan be no depleting of the local treasury, under such conditions, to fill up the coffers of foreign firms or distant districts. It goes without say. ing that this principle is reasonable, right and of universal application. In a larger sense, this thought applies to Institutions of learning.

It is an Idea and a rule that becomes more forcible the farther up the scale it is carried. Every community that has an Intelligently conducted journal should patronize it Wherever a high school or a normal school or college Is to be found. Its very presence la helpful. When we come to the highest literary Institutions the force of this reasoning is unbreakable. They are a constant inspiration.

No community of Christians could long survive without some church or other religious organization or society; it certainly never could hope to arrive at any large usefulness; it would. In time, simply fall short of Its duty and destiny. So no community can fall of feeling benefited, highly benefited, by the la Us midst of some Institution where the broadest culture Is afforded the youth, where the liberal arts find kindly shelter, and from which young women and men go to fill large places In the world of work and help for less happily provided. It has been often urged that these Institutions have little or no direct Influence upon a community; that the city or town or village would often be as well off without with them; and more of the same flavor. In response to this it Is merely1 necessary to suggest the names of some of the leailng in Illinois where our splendidly equipped colleges and seminaries are established and maintained.

Look at Jacksonville with Its Illinois College and female seminary: at Evanston with Its Northwestern University; Bioomlngtoa with Us Illinois Wealeyaa University; Blackburn University at? Carllnville; Knox College and Lombard University at Gales-burg; Lake Forest' University, Monmouth College, Mount Morris College, Northwestern College at Napervlllo, 1 Wheaton College, Shurtleff College at Upper Alton, the State University at Champaign, not to mention the State Normals at Normal and Carbondale. y- Local Institutions should receive the largest patronage the most helpful countenance. Home Influences like these are of untold value to anr community. Admiration for and loyalty to the older colleges In the East which find place In Western communities are not necessarily antagonistic to this idea of encouraging Institutions of learning nearer borne. The patronage of Illinois or Michigan colleges does not mean hostility to Yale or Harvard.

A liking for Yale or Harvard need not be hostility to home institutions. There Is a need for more work In the field of higher education, and there are good reasons why the young men and young women of the West should receive Impetus for their life in the West from colleges Imbued with the spirit of the West Ths North Side Cable Railway question has resolved itself Into this shape: Certain gentlemen are willing and anxious to construct a cable railway, believing such a venture to be a good Investment As a matter of safety and convenience these gentlemen desire to use the LaSall street tunnel and at as low a rent as possible. The people of the North Side, It may be said, would prefer a cable railway to a horse railway, and, if they have a cable ralway, they would prefer the certainties of the tunnel to the risks of any bridge system. They ask, however, that the company receiving the tunnel franchise be compelled to grant concessions in the nature of comforts and conveniences to the public. The Interests of those who want to construct the cable railway and of those who want to patronize such a railway are not in conflict.

Those who use the tunnel now are opposed to its surrender unless something in the nature of an equivalent be given in the shape cf an extra or new bridge. rTJie tax-payers who were assessed to build the tunnel are opposed to its surrender, unless a good rental be paid. The question of rent and the conditions on which tu'e railway company be granted an Important concession, are the main points ctoW under 'discussion. There would be less'lrrf Cation In this discussion if the people Telt that the Council rightly represented tho jjublio. The question in England now la, after Gladstone, who snjd what? The theory that it would be possible for Mr.

Gladstone and Lord Hartington far unite on a modified platform is not worth considering, unless the modified platform would take In provisions that would secure tho support of the Parnelittes. The Gladstone Liberals and Unionists united will not equal the Conservatives, and on any programme that does not stand by home rule it may be assumed that the Paraeilltes would not act with the new The chances are in favor of a compromise ministry under Hartington and Salisbury that will adopt a programme satisfactory to both factions, but If this programme does not embody propositions that can be accepted by at least a part of the Gladstone Liberals the ministry will be short If Mr. Gladstone maintains his position of making a fight for home rule It will be necessary for the new ministry to take the wind out of his sails by bringing In a home-rule measure or by appealing again to the oountry.

"Broken Hearts" is an exquisite pain, an ineffable regret, a sweet misery an idea of anguiatt beautifully defined through, the charm of Dare poesy, through the grace of lovely character, through the atmosphere of the romantic and the picturesque, admirable while It saddens, fascinating while it wounds. The theme is fanciful, mystical, a dream of magic, dealing with the witcheries of fairyland, with th idl foliio of enchantment, but under It all or la it ail Is the great lesaoa of the real, the heart and soul and longing of the world, with something of Its passion, it is not the work of an ordinary mind, either In creative power.

The deformed dwarf Moosta is dealt with after the fashion of the world; but we nevertheless feel the fierce cruelty of the world la the scorn of Hilda, and recognis the fact that Mr.

Gilbert has taken something from the grace, tn worth, tne loveliness of one of his heroines in making Hilda so entirely false to th alluring sssuranoes that caused the eaarer Moosta to throw off the magic scarf that made his deformities Invisible. Ail this fashion of contraries is tboroagly Gilbertian, however. Kot many men have the genius to make or approve their contempt of the conventional, or their unconcern for the desirable. Bat the canny Scotchman likes beat the unusual, aad cheats us where we nav every right to expect direct and opea dealing. In "Broken Hearts" there are six characters, four of wnion are well rounded and stand sharply defined.

As a study, or a work of strong fancy Moosta ts the most Important of these, a crumpled, twisted fellow, with a well stored mind, a warm heart well disposed, a disposition only turned from goodness by tne Sbsand jeers and alights of this world, nging fog toe comely proportion of well mad man that be may pour Into the ears of the Lady Hilda the love tnat warms his heart and maddens his brain. It Is a capital character part, and Mr. Le Moyne capitally plays is, making It a memory of descriptive -work, strong, vivid, finely artistic An admirable type of hero, as heroism roes, is Prince Fioriaa, a role in wnion Mr. Mass tin prove th good opinion held of him to have been wisely formed. It Is the most important wore, be haa done during this engagement and i the frank, hearty, valorous Prince be shows himself possessed of all the qualities that are essential to the success of a leading actor, aad presents anew th promise of a future when no will be known for better thing Lady Hilda la a romantic type of the brilliant woman in whom ther is both sentiment and sense, womanliness and herolam, a character Miss Harrison defined surprisingly well, particularly in the seen where she pleads with her lover to give lite to her sister, the dainty Lady Yavir, by protesting to her that his Idly told tale of love was the real trnta of hla heart Mies Harrison treated this loot-dent with fine feeling and much artistic beanty.

Miss Russell has in Lady Yavir a character peculiarly and charmingly adapted to her. The three women have fled the world because of disappointments there, and each has chosen some object oa which to bestow ber love, aod Yavir, who cam to tn Island beoaos of her great affection for ber sister Hilda, chose for her love a sun-dial upon whose stony column she had lesned with tender sentiment so long that ah bad almost come to believe It aensate, and this she tnought It wsa spoke when the mirthful shores. Invisible, answered for the dial and confessed a love for her. Yarair is bnt a shadow of life, and live only in ber lore for Hilda and this hero In th atone, and when lorian is revealed to her, and ah thinks it is the spirit of the atone released, she rests her head upon hla heart, and, a frail and fragile creature, says pleadingly in love, "1 take my life for you: oh! let me live." When ane learns that it la Hilda rlorisn loves, the spring of being stops in her heart, and she Knows that when the sun goes down so that no ray may reach her dial, nor spirit will flatter away to rejoin bar lost hop. It ts a beautiful ebaraoiar.

but there la a tear la every phase of It, and in the final scene, the stage darkening through there Is a pathos almost extreme. The work of the people Is faultleaalv dona. The performance is as nearly perfect in artistlo finish and in dramatio effect as could be desired. Ths treatment of th soene by lights, was highly pralsable, tn picture being vary attractive and Impressive, particularly the anal scene. The cast was: Prince L.
