Seme et our esteemeU Republican con cen con lewperarles are a little prematura in MiBeunclnir Hint Mr. Malno iinsglvin orders te Inslltute criminal proceedings against the lndiat)aiK)lls paper which he alleges has libelled him, and te push these proceedings with all pessible ills patch. This is just what Mr. Itlalne has net done. A man mero anxious te punish a great wrong dene te himself and te society and te vindlcate the honor of his family, would have been swift te " hunt the rascalsdewn ;"and he would have taken quick advantage of the stringent libel laws et Indiana, te bring his assailants befere the bar et criminal justice, where they would have had te answer at once for the private and the public injury ; nndte the punishment et the guilty all the pcople would have said " amen." Mr. lllalne has taken quite a different course. He resorts te a civil suit and prosecutes a claim for money, te recover $50,000 damages, at which sum he measures the injury te himself and his family. He wants a tribunal of which his friends control the machinery and in which a marshal, perhaps et hi3 own ap pointment, will have much te de with the selection of jurors. A mere senai. tlve man than he, and less anxious te turn the occasion Inte one of dramatic display, would have taken a different course. And, by the way, why does the Re publican candldate step at Indianapolis? "We see that the I'ertland Argiu, printed in his own state, publishes a far mero atrocious libel mero damaging because net se cearse and brutal than that of the Indianapolis paper. Fifteen hun dred miles nearer his own home, nearer in time te the next election, and morn welghty in its rellectjpn upon himself and his family relatienjs Is the libel that should first have his attention. We hope when it meets his eye he will try te vindicate the honor of his family by Heme swifter and less mercenary proceed lng than te sue for money. Mr. Hendricks' Character. Mr. ller.drleks' record is longer tbau Cleveland's niul mere consistent, in feet, its consistency is the most aggravating feature et It, for from first te last be baa opposed the great priuelpleH upon wkteh national houer and prosperity have boeu built up. Se said the New Yerk Tribune jester day. The most complete and crushing answer te this is furnished by the Tri oieio itself. In 1S7U, when it was as new edited by "Whltelaw Held, In an I in par tlal revlew of Mr. Hendricks' character and career, the Tribune, with a degree of truth that has seldom since charac terized It, raid, that Hendricks was "an honest jurist, an able and Incorruptible statesman, ami a wise pellticaii.. "His record as senator, representative, commissioner, and state legislator, Is pure and untarnished, aud whatever he Isablu te de for justice aud public morals, when chosen governor of Indiana, we may be sure he will de He is willing te leave all past differences as immate rial te the intelligent consideration of the work befere us When public morality Is te be revived, geed men of all parties must combine. Pursuing this neble prlnciple, then, Mr. Hendricks refuses te be distracted by the petty cries of men eager te alienate natural friends by recalling old time differences What we have new te de Is te put an end te unjust legislation and reform the abuses which burden the wnolegov eminent. We will net be deterred from this labor by these who strive te a-euse oil passions that party supremacy may be maintained." All of this was very true, and is still the truth. The 'lrU"ine has changed; but its tribute related te n career that had passed into history and its judgment will stand as a just characterization of a geed man. Its own reversal discredits the Tribune, but can net hurt Mr. Hendricks. 'lhe Law or Residence. The Philadelphia Press undertakes te justify its construction of the election law, by framing a different BtateJ of facts than that upon which the Lvrr.r. uaKNcnu has criticised its decision. In supports of its position it cites the eminent authority of. Mr. Ruckulew, who has written that" if, in point of fact, an empleje of the government shall have had a district residence in the state, aud sliall intend te retain it and return te it, such prier residence will in most cases, continue te be his, notwith standing his absence, aud, if he shall possess the ether necessary qualifications of an elector of the state, he may vote thereat, lit may lese his dederul rcsi (fence by actual abandonment of it, but he will net forfeit It by Ills mere absence in the publie service." All of this lsstrlctly true and in exact accordance with the position taken by this journal. The points italicised mark the distinction between the case stated by the Press and that hi which the Intki.mui:n' i:u aud Mr. lluckalew agree that the voter has net forfeited his franchise. In the caae in which the Press passed wrong . judgment the voter did net retain his residence nor propeso te return te it; it was "actually obliterated " as the Press htated it ; in Mr. Uuckulew'd language there was an " actual abandonment " of It; In such caw we stick te It that he loses his vote. This most desperate and fiultless attempt of the Republicans te manufac ture campaign material this year, has been the effort recently made tefasteii the charge of forgery upon tlie Deme, cratie nutlenal committee of 18S0, In connection with the fameii3 Merey antl Chinese letter. The accusation rests solely en the word of the notorious Jehn I. Davenport, who charges one Hadley, an ex Republican, with the alleged fab. rlcutleii, and Mr. Eanium und ether members et the committee with guilty knowledge. Te the first of these charges Mr, Iladiey answers that he Is net guilty, and no man's word en such a subject cau be worth less than Davenport's. His accusation did net render necessary any defense from the national committee, f but all of Its members Implicated by his charge prove him a liar, which the country has long taken him te be, and the correctness of this estimate his Inst performance confirms.

Tin: Irish party in Parliament is stronger by lour member new than it was when the scssieu opencd. The expostire of the Coruwall-lJeUon criniej in Dublin has doue much toward solidifying English s-mtimcut in Ireland's favor. It Is a great pity that tbere should be a bitter disagree ment between Messrs Parnell and Davitt when the political sky of the Emerald Isle never Boomed brighter. Tilt: Democratic party in pledged te the forfeituro of the immense land grants te railroad companies, the conditions of whteh hivii net been performed by tlie grantees. The Democratic Heuso at the recent session passed bills or forfeituro for eO 212,1101 acres of laud grants. The Republican Senate acted en only otie of the te bills, that forfeiting 13,000.000 acres gratitid the Atlantic & Paeill: read. They amended the bill in a manner that will involve the government iu iv law suit. Ttie Demecratic party is true te its word, wlnle the Re publican party keeps the premise te tbe eail, bitatting it te tlie hope. Fifty years age Mrs. Trollepj wrete a book en the United States aud its caustic criticisms of American manners aud methods excited our forefathers very much. Later Charles Dickens gained money and fainu by grossly and falsely eiricituriug life iu tbe United Suites, areu-ing mueh indignation. New Sir Ljpel Grlfllu comes along and writes iu similar vein, but his work instead of ex alting tbe oUl.tline consternation is grouted with derision. Tbe Uuited States have parted with their swaddling clothes, aud the caping criticism of the small miudul foreigner fc'uve about the s.itne effect as the fly ou a lien's maue.

As far as Lieutenant Greely could obscrve, no crackling sound accjm piuied the displays, aud tbe geueral shape was that of a ribbon. The southwesterly horizon was tbe ipnrter iu which the brightest displays werj seen.

He began his ills ills ills oeurso by refcrring te the crematory new being created iu this city. Tbe substance of bis argument t prove that burial was the preiivr way of disposing of the dead was scriptural quotations,; tend tend te rdiew that burial iu tlie grave was the method adopted for nluoteen cen turies. Tbe next sermon he will endeavor te show that cremation ii net necessary, from a sanitary point of view, aselatmcd by its believers, nud that it is net unhealthy te a community te bury the body, und that it is notuiero economical toeiemato the body. This sermon will be followed up with another te show that if cremation becomes the prevailing method of dispes ing of the dead, the scriptures will have te be revised te make the necessary changes, aud the hymns of all the churches changed. Tbe attendance at St. Stephen's last oveuitig was very large, and Rev. Meister will no doubt be greeted by large cougre gatleus every Sunday tvening during this series of t-crmeu.

Tbe Idea of an enler having for the main purpose the Inculcation of lessens of friendship and bared upon the old story of Damen and Pythias, originated with J. II.
