Thursday, April 3, 1834. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. ONE Ccrrr, One Ykak, S1.CO SixMontii.s, .75 Advertising Rates, Reasonable. Politics and the City Election. The effort to introduce politics into the election for city officers will be deprecated by honest thinking people.

Xo city government, however large or small, should be made the sport of political chance. What tax-payers should require of candidates is that they conduct and prosecute an intelligent, economical administration. Xo oppressive burden be laid upon the people. A man should be supported not because he is a republican, or a democrat, or a greenbaclcer. but because of Ids ability and honesty.

Thinking and believing thus, the Hkklkctok does not hesitate to denounce the attitude of the Gazette on this question. Last week that paper said: Abilene sJio-uld have a thorough ana clean Republican administration this spring. Let the dominant party select good and true men tor the various oniees men who have the Interests of the city at heart and then proceed toelcctthem. Abilene has reached that period where It takes wise forthought and bound Judgment to administer her affairs successfully and economically. Give us good men.

It is hardly possible that the Gazette meant to deliberately insinuate that men who are democrats have no '-wise forethought and sound Such an insinuation is too ridiculous for even a moment's consideration, and we pass on. In another place the same authority says that "Abilene is in a hard row of stumps financially." This confession seems to rellect upon the desirability of having a republican administration, since at no time in its history has Abilene had a democrat Alayor or a democrat Council. This is a fact. Hut as before slated, the lii klkctoii deprecates the idea of making politics a factor in the coming election. "We do not know who the candidates will be for Alayor and Councilmen, but we say right here that men should be elected on their merits and on their ability to conduct a successful administration at the least possible cost to the tax-payers.

To be a republican is no more the sign of honesty than to be a democrat is a sign of dishonesty, and this effort to drag politics into a local fight is very short-sighted policy to say the least. The Cincinnati Commune. The brief reign of terror, anarchy and bloodshed which Cincinnati has just passed through.appalling as it may be to the whole country, has yet a logical sequence which is more threatening to the stability of our republic, more disgraceful, than the wild, destructive madness of a mob which would have done credit to Paris in 179S on in LS71. A state of society which produces mobbed lawlessness cannot be wholly right, and that which is wrong in it should be hunted up and expunged. The direct evil which led to the Cin cinnati outbreak; to the destruction of valuable property to the killing of nearly fifty people and the wounding of some two hundred others, is known to be the lax and inefficient administration of justice in our courts of law.

The delays and thwartings of justice by the sharp and subtle practices of criminal by the bribery of jurors and the corruption of judges, is confined to no one particular section of this countrj. The evil is as broad as: the republic, and the mighty revolt of popular honesty and integrity which has just deluged Cincinnati with bloodshed, shame and unhappiness could have been provoked in any other city wider similar circumstances. A notorious criminal, plainly guilty of brutally murdering a man for his money, is found guilty of manslaughter! And in protecting the wretch Bekxek from mob justice, fifty innocent people are killed and the blood of two hundred others is spilled. Surely the murderers safety was bought at a terrible price. Hut there was no choice.

The republic cannot be changed to a mobo-cracy, and the violent demonstration had to be put down at whatever cost. Society and civilization must be preserved. But the physical quelling of a mob, the foundation of which was honest indignation and a just wrath, will not preserve order and government. The causes which make such outbreaks possible, especially in a government "of the people, by the people, for the people," must be found and removed. Last year only one murderer out of every fourteen was legally hanged.

Tins information is alarming, but it points lo'a remedy. Hereafter criminals must be rigorously dealt with no delays should be granted: judges njjist have the courage to protect jurors from the sophistries, quibbles and technicalities of lawyers, and jurors must possess honesty, coiiragoandiiiieUigence trials must be plain and direct, tnd punishment sure and swift. "When people are taught to look with confidence on the wiobstructed workings of the law when they learn that exact justice will be meted out as nearly as possible by the courts, then this spirit of lynch law will disappear right autljorjty will resume its dig- B. STKOT1IEB. Official rv i rap CKIllil 10 aitjj and supremacy, The mob at Cincinnati is pretty well dispersed and quiet reigns, but the peo- pie are far from bemg satisueu wmi uie result.

The bill for the retirement and recoinage of the trade dollar passed the House last Tuesday. A wise thing has been done. Ex-Congressman "Wai. A. Phillips is asked to answer in court the charge that he illegally received $22,500 of Indian money.

Ir. Phillips" explanation will be listened to with attention by his republican friends. Prohibition and Methodism. Just before the Methodist Conference at Topeka adjourned the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That at the next election we will support for the offices of state senator, representative, count)' attorney and sheriff, regardless of the party to which thev belong, only such men as are in favor of sustaining and enforcing the prohibitorv amendment, and if in any district or county there are no persons nominated bv either of the parties to fill the office of state senator, representative, county attorney and sheriff, who are in favor of sustaining and enforcing the prohibitory liquor laws it shall be the duty of the preachers and temperance people of that district or county to see that a convention be called and staunch temperance men are nominated to fill such offices, and we do hereby call upon and invite all ministers of the gospel to act with us in this matter. Unsolved, That ith delight we witness the growth of the "Woman's Christian Temperance Union and their determined efforts to overthrow the rum power; and further, Ave pledge them our hearty sympathy and co-operation in this noble work.

Tilden First, Last and All the Time. Col. J. "W- Ambler, a prominent democrat from Jacksonville. now in "Washington, said in an interview recently; "Nothing short of the old ticket, especially the Tilden part of it, will satisfy the democrats of the southeast, particularly Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.

Delegates from that section of the country will go to Chicago instructed to vote for Tiiden first, last and all the time." Por A loftier Plight. AVe may be a little down now," said Representative Pomeo (Alabama), referring to tariff differences in the democratic party, "but 'tis only temporary. That ivill pass away. If your eagle stops a little it is onlv to plume himself for a loftier llight. Here in the house the tariff is discussed according to the influence it may have upon the return of members respectively.

But at Chicago everything will be subordinated to the election of president. That will be the objective point, and parties, like armies, must have an objective point in order to win success. The tariff and every question there will be considered with regard to its effect upon the whole country, and you will see that the democratic party will be entirely harmonious. Herington Happenings.
