Q, 1884. CtHclaBMl'fl Law ana Order. We are telegraphed from Cincinnati aa editorial nrtlcle In the Commercial Gazette of that town which Is described nn nccurate and iewcrful present' A9 ment of the situation here ;" out tne ex pressions of the article are of ft kind te satisfy ua of the very little sense of the (lantte editor and the men who find In It cither power mid accuracy or any ether geed quality. Its idea is expressed In Its complaint that a Jail full of murderers Is all Cincinnati has saved In quelling Its riot. The Gazette does net regard that as a sufficient salvage It believes It has paid tee dear for Ita whistle. It finds that ' the rulgn of law and order is re stored In Cincinnati that law and order which makes murder the safest trade." The Gazette talks for the sound's sake of lta rhetoric, and with small regard for sober sense. It Is the misfortune of this country that it Is cursed with prominent Journals of this character ; whose edi tors, knowing the truth, speak what is fal30. bcause they think it wllltickle tun popular ear and gain them friends. It may be that we de the Gazette editor tee much credit in believing that he is net the feel that he writes himself down, when he com plains that the upholding of the govern ment of the law, which was done in preserving from mob vlolence the prison ers in the Cincinnati Jail, was net an achievement woitbyef the most supreme effort of the authorities, and cheaply purchased at its cost of bleed and money. The destruction of life at Cin cinnati, great a3 It was, might have been n thousand times greater, and yet have been cheap, if by It alone could the supremacy of the law be maintained. The Gazette, we trust, maliciously mis states the fact when.it cays the law and "order which have been restored make murder the safest tradp." That Is net the premise of law and elder in the civilized community ; mid If it is the re sult of the establishment of law and order in Cincinnati the city should be disorganized nnd organized again. We are sure that no citizen of the country will be content te knew that anywhere within its limits a community exists where law and order work te make murder the safest trade We de net believe it is se in Cincinnati ; and it is evident that an editor, who in a time like this cau se far forget becoming words of truth aud soberness, is net one whose1 statements may be trusted. If murderers tee readily escaped In Cincin nati, it was through the fault of the ministers of the law, net of the law itself. But the bleed shed at Cincinnati was shed for the law's Bike, uet for lis evil ministers. It is the duty of Cincinnati te reform her minis ters when they need reforming ; but net by overturning the law and suffering a crcater evil te remedy a less. If the people of Cincinnati have as little- sense ns their nuwspapeia it would be a geed thing if the country lroep3 would sheet tbem all, and supply their place. Dulixquisa't Tax Collector Tenek, of Philadelphia, who Is about leaving his elll j , winch lias been merged in that of tax receiver, leaves behind him a geed uc rd His place in the hands of these formerly controlling it was one of fat spoils, the placemen plundering the city treasury with one hand and the unfortunate delinquents with the ether. Tener premised when betook it te take $10,000 of the fees ns his salary and no mere. When he gees out he will have paid the city $52,000 of fees which the law allowed him tore tain, but which he gave the city in com pllance with the voluntary premise given by him at the time he entered the elllce. Had he worked the office for all It was worth delinquent taxpayers would have been compelled te pay 950,000 additional In fee3 aud penalties. Well deni, Tenpr; aud would there were oie like him. Tin: statement of the state treasurer shows tl.at he had en baud yesterday, deposited in the Pittsburg, Philadelphia, IlarriBliiug and ether banks of the state $1,23,321.18, of which $150,000 was in the People's (Kemble's) batik, of Phila delphia capltnl $100,000, and $105,000 iu the First National, of Treasurer Bally'a own town of Uniontown. Ai we understand the law, whenever tin balauce in the general fund exceeds half a million the surplus is te be covered into the sinking fund, aud once there It Is invested in interest bearing bends. Why this is net done is probably ex plained by the fact that such a large slice of the money is in the Kemble and the Uniontown banks, where it does the most geed te the state treasurer and his friends. We trust that there Is no truth In the current rumor that at a recent political conference of llepubllcnn rlngsters iu this city one of the company offered te contribute $2,500 te the peel If his can dldate ferjudge were put en the short ticket te be formed. Such a preposition if made publicly known would ruin his candidate's chances. Fer no one would believe that the ordinary Republican politician of this county would make such an offer without reasonable assur ancea of getting It back from the benefi ciary ; and no candidate for judge or any ether cilice can speud or authorize te be spent for him such an amount of meney without incurring the pains and penalties of the Landis bill and the crime of perjury In taking his oath of elllce. Mu. llr.iss testifies that in ene of the Star Iteute cases, which the government has tried, It was uhewn that en ene route which was the outcome et the ceusplra tots' operations " net a letter or paper Went eyer It for twenty days, and that route paid $-10,000 te $50,000." "One man we found carried the entire mail across the mountains in the leg of his beet," nnd get $50,000 a year for It. Aud these are the thieves whom Dllss was paid $100 a duy te prosecute aud convict and lie dldu'tdelt, Mr. Dllss had better step ileiTu and out. There is a bill pending in the New Yerk Legislature, taxing Inheritances, which Is commended by the New Yerk World. We de net knew Its special previsions, but If it is Intended teheavlly tax the wealth that cannot be taken with him by Us owner en his way te Paradlse or clsewhere, we think it is a geed bill. As we have often said, and ns the law Bays,a man's children have uonaturaltltle te all the meney he has made. He can leave It te whomsoever he pleases. He ought te leave a geed share te the state, but he never does, nnd the state euaht te tnke It. The bigger the plle the bigger should be the dividend. Tun iS'cie Era did Itself no credit by trying te conceal from its readers the fnct that Its candldate for Congrcss,llen.

The oxaet uamber of deal and wouuded will probably never be ascertained, en ac count of mauy of the wounded being carried away by their friends. Uut the number of thoe killed outright, or dying nt the hospital up te midnight last night is 41, as buewu uy me rocews or tue city undertakers nnd the hospitals, aud such information from theso taken home ns could be had. The number of wounded, compiled from tkosame sutirces, Is 120, anl there are piebably half as mauy tiii-e weu. ded net reported.

This sum will be a leiu te the city uutll the sum expended miy ba raised by a proper appropriation aud be returned. This will euable the military te be with drawn. The Municipal Reform association, composed of citizens of all parties, have issued a mauifeste te the voters of the city, stating that thuy mero thau ever ucmaud the s:vcrance or party politics aud municipal government ; aud also stating that they will place In nomination for the various eflL-es te be filled at the approaching municipal election, men of Irreproachable intregrity nnd undoubted quantisatiens for the positions, who have consented te accept the nominations merely from consideration of public duty. They are selected without recard te pelitl cal viewa, aud all geed citizeus are called upon te unite with the association in these ut'empts te pi. ion pure and rehable men iu ebari;u of the city government. The aibociatieu determined te call a mass mcetiug at Music hall seen te ratify their ticket. Tuesday morning has beea frce from any incident indicating a ohauge in the situatieu. The proponed relief of the militia by the civil force cannot be put into operntien speedily, if at all, ns the selection et suitable men aud their equip ment must take tlme. The militia will keep the btreets barricaded as strongly as ever, net even allowing the Mount Auburu line of street cars, whes? track runs a distance of two squares within the lines te pass through. As te the state of public feeling it cau -uet be baid that the original impulse that actuated the men who cook pait iu the demonstration ou Saturday uuht has been lemeved or lessened by the presence of the military. On the contrary the events of t riday and Saturday nights have given lise te a new teellng that of iudigualien against the militia. Only the hopoles3 hepoles3 hopeles3 uess of a coutliet with this pewerlully armed forced prevcuts an attaek neon it. Captain Fellegcr, who commanded the detachment of militia which tired the first shots, has published a card denying the htatement that he ordered his men te tire. He says: "Sheriff Hawkins gave the order iu the words, 'Uive it te 'cm, boys, lire,' aud in the excitement I could uet step them, te I cried, 'for Christ's sake, boy), fire high.' My men would never have tired if it had net been that four of them were wounded with stones and shots from the crowd, and they shot ou the sueritf b order. I have been in the war. I would rather face an euemy than such n crowd of citizens, with whom I have a fellow feel ing, and I would net rashly glve au elder such as it has becu said I gave." The newspapers, usually eouscrvative iu tone, speak with great freedom ou the situation as it new is. The VelUblatl (German), says : "The calliug out of the militia en Friday night can only be characterized as a Krave mis take Oar militia knew, aud can de noth neth iug else, it appears, but sheeting. If rullauce had been placed en the peiica force order might probably have bsen restored without any less of life."
