LANCASTER, MARCH 11. 1886.
Start the Ball.
Again we are In hearty accord with our
esteemed contemporary, the -Atic Era,
when, In recommending an association of
citizens te be formed for the purpose of
securing honest elections and punishing
bribery, both at our primary and general
elections, it says : " The buying and selW
ing of voters and the falsification of re
turns has made our primary elections mere
than a farce, and like an ulcerous cancer
this corruption has been steadily permeaU
ing our general elections, especially In
this city." " Until this deplorable state
of affairs is changed for the better, any at-
tempt te create a public sentiment in fiiver
of a better class of candidates for repre
sentative or office et trust is a waste of
moral force. Geed men have been nomi
nated who were defeated because they
would net respond te the demands of the
trading element, or were counted out te
make place for the less scrupulous. This
no well informed politician will attempt
te deny ; even these who were engaged in
the fraud admit it after they are safe from
the penalty through the statute of limita
tions." The way te de a thing is te deit. We
believe with our contemporary, and have
always maintained that the abuse and
corruption at elections hereabouts began
in the Republican primaries, but it has
extended until it has become an
" ulcerous cancer ; " and the re
form of cutting it out by t a
a radical operation is of far mere import
ance than who shall held this office or that.
It is true that no party is free from blame,
and there is no occasion for recrimination
as te relative individual responsibility.
The se called "politicians" are charged
with things done in which many who de
net call themselves by that epithet have
been implicated, and ever the results of
which they have rejoiced.
Let us turn our backs upon the past and
face the responsibilities of the future. An
association of citizens te step fraud and
corruption at the primaries and general
elections is imperatively needed ; it can te
most excellent purpose turn its hand te
many municipal reforms. Democrats as
well as Republicans are interested In It, for
the primaries make the county officers for
us all.
Let us have a non-partisan committee te
start the work. New is the time te organ
ize it; NOW.
Clear as Mud.
Our able and esteemed contemporary, the
Examintr, makes a remarkably lucid state
ment of the issue between the executive
and the Senate. " The Senate has net un
dertaken te call the president te account
for the manner in which the executive dis
cretion lias been exercised." But, en the
ether hand, "if the president has simply re
moved certain officials and appointed ethers
because, for any reason within the exercise
of his judgment as executive he has seen fit
te de se, the Senate does nel call uien him
forastatementef the reasons of his action."
There seems te be an unqualified admission
here that the president has an entire righ't
in his discretion te remove officials "ferany
reason within the exercise of hU judgment
as executive." This granted, what busi
ness has the Senate with papers addressed
te the president en this subject ? If it is
one that appeals te his discretion alone,
what purpose can the Senate have with
such documents except te get at "the reas
ons of his action ?" If they de net and
dare net call uoen him fur thr-an. wimt.
f'4 proper public use can they muke of thepa-
yw utuiiug upon mein i
The Examiner says " if there nre any
papers en file in the public offices relating
te such removals and appointments the
Senate claims the right te call for them,
net, indeed, for the purpese of holding the
president te accountability te itself for his
acts, but in order that the Senate may have
such information en the subject before it
as the public offices may contain." As te
the papers touching appointments, with
which the Senate has te de, the president
withholds none. They are prom etlv and
cheerfully furnished. But if the Senate
cannot and does net propose te held the
president te accountability for removals, of
What public Importance is it that tlmmpm.
bM et that body have "information en the
subject ?" Te gratify the curiosity of a let
of old grannies V
Kara Jehnsen's Cue.
The chief of the Philadelphia detectives
takes no stock in the story that somebody
else than Sam Jehnsen killed the old fu,
'i merSbarpless; and he is reported as glv
lag the grounds for his belief that Jehnsen
$, nguuty, the failure of the defense te ac-
'cnu ler me prisoner's whereabouts en
t.jj the night of the murder and their neglect
? ,te put him en the stand. It is a new doc-
f, trine, ami one quite unknown te the law
Writing defeadanta wltnesses.that their fail-
I te testify shall be counted against them.
f We can easily understand the reluctance
. aCeouBielferaman surrounded with th
i sVridMce that environed Jehnsen te put his
it en the stand ; he may have been en-
l is a felony that night, or his atter-
mt way have apprehended that the com cem
Mswealth would involve him in contra centra contra
4JUea Mat would hurt his case, or some
rbertQQ&.xmoe, entirely consistent with
Jehnsen's Innocence, may have directed
his course. It is monstrous te infer his
guilt from his silence.
Equally vicious is the position that as
Jehnwi cannot show where he washd
mitsYhave been at the murder. It is evi
dent that the detectives and Delaware
county authorities want te hang somebody
te relieve themselves ; and as seen as they
get one man whose guilt was mere likely
than that of anybody else's In sight they
were satisfied te seek no further. Should the
actual criminal turn up before Jehnsen Is
hanged, they might consent te the expense
of another trial.
m m
He Had Hctter Step Hewn.
The se-called chief engineer of the Lancas-
tcrflre department, likemany a better man,
has cause te pray for dellvery from his
friends and their bad advice which drives
him into print te defend the indefensible.
The JEramiiier thinks it is easier te criticise
his performances than te improve upon
them. Se de we. " The Ore extinguishers
of editorial rooms are pretty te leek at but
net worth a cent in actual practice." But
it is the business of the chief engineer te
direct the extinguishment of fires, and it is
the right and duty of newspapers, of on
lookers of and citizens te criticise him ; te
praise him when he shows himself fit for
his work and te rebuke him and supplant
him when he shows himself incapable und
unfit.
Tliei'xtiHii'jicrsajsit "thinks that Mr.
Vendersmith is quite as efficient as Mr.
Hewell," which only proves that the Ex
aminer does net knew anything about the
subject. It professes te think " we c.innet
settle their respective merits by imagining
what Mr. Hewell would de if he had a
chance"; but this is just exactly what we
can de. It being certain, from experience,
that Hewell would have done differently at
the late fire from Veudersmith, that settles
their respective merits.
Ve have n chief engineer for the purpose
of directing the department, and for pre
venting and overcoming such difficulties
as "firemen at supper, engines that de
net seem fit te squirt water enough te wash
a poodle, water plugs full of mud, and, as
usual, a thousand advisers, badgered by
frantic, half crazy men whose preierty is
burning"; he is expected te de his best
under the circumstances. The " thousand
advisers" who looked at the late fire, nnd
" the half crazy" men whose property was
burning" as the JZraun'ner elegantly
stjles Mr. Kepler and ethers knew exactly
what te de. Vendersmith didn't , or if he
knew he did net de it. Therefore lie is
very properly criticised.
The chief himself is his own worst wit
ness when he resorts te the bad plan of
publishing a list of the fires occurring un
der his own and Hewell's administration te
demonstrate their relative efficiency. If
the chiefs were responsible for the origin of
the fires this comparison would be relevant.
As it is, it only shows that while Mr. Hewell
had te deal with a series of difficult and
dangerous coutlagratiens, Vendersmith's
experience lias been with trilling blazes;
and the first time he encountered a .serious
situation he was utterly inadequate te it.

Mil. IIlainu, In the second velume or his
book, frankly frays :
"Casting off all political dieguhesand per per
senil pretense, the simple truth remains
that the tenure of office act was enacted lest
President Jehnsen should remove Republi
can oflleehelders tee rapidl3-; and It was
practically repealed lest President flrant
should net re .novo Domecratlc ofllcehelders

The rest of Blaine's party might as well
abandon disguise and pretense and admit
that they are trying te deny te Cleveland the
powers they cenceded te Grant, Uayes, Oar
field and Arthur. It will net de.

ences in creed. It is Ireland for the Irish.
The great newsjapers of the country have
long coinpeted with eue another in the excel
lence of their almanacs, many et which are
marvels of lnformitleu and typographical
beauty. In this category is the almanac of
the New Yerk WvrUl, which has something
In it of Interest te every person ou this mun
dane sphere who reads the English language
and takes an Interest In anything. Indeed,
It would seem almost Impossible te cendense
within its ICO pages all the Information it
contains. Krem the statistics of Alabama
down te that of Wyoming territery, the pub
llcatlen is filled with material for student,
teacher, lawjer, preacher, merchant and me
chanic Its statistics are extensive and seem
carefully compiled. As a work of reference
it will be invaluable; and will be another
monument of that journalistic success which
the 11'erW, above all ether newspapers, has
achieved within the past few years.
Judee Kwine, of Pittsburg, recently tried
the suit of an oil broker te recover J5,000 en
an oil deal. The defense resisted ou the
ground that the deal was simply a gambling
transaction and therefore illegal. The plainliir
averred that the oil transaction was net a
purchase en margins. In the charge Judge
Ewlug said ir the Jury leund that the oil was
net purchased en margins they should find
for the platntiff, as the transaction then could
have been legitimate and legal. The Jury se
found. Had the oil betn bought en margins
the -erdlct must have been for defendant.
It takes, however, a braen cheek in a man
who deals In margins te make this legal
resistance te payment. He belongs te that
rapacious class who want te eat their cake and
keep it at eue and the sumo time.
Tnc secretary of the treasury reports that
the reduction of the public debtfer the period
from July 1.1S77, te June30,lS3J, has excteded
the requirements of the sinking fund by
312,G17,M1. This is the best of arguments
for taxation reduction.
Tub perspicuity as well as the frankness
of Gen. Hancock in declaring that the tarltr

marks, ' protection for what we produceln

sentiments. Te Texas wool, and Louisiana
sugar, and Virginia tobacco and Ireu ere, is

who visited that city several days age. In
his Btery printed In the llerahl, he relates
that his father and mother were captured In
Angela, Africa. They and ethers were
landed at Jamestown, Vs., from slave ships
about IkP, and were entirely uncivilized,
and se peer as te net have even a name.
Before the car broke out, he says: "I was
at lleury Ward Reecher's home lu New New

te Englaud en his great lecture tour when
he made his wonderful war speeches In de

the representative and victim of one of the
greatest curses of our land. He lectured at
Louden, ilnnchestcr, Derry and ether places.
Thousands heard his inimitable eloquence,
as he brought tears nnd smiles alternately te
the faces el his auditors. Oh! he was a grand
man. Hew I did listen te his great speeches
until I was almost fast te my chair. We
were abroad ten mouths."
