tlic”.e figures indicate, they will probably
di-appoint the popular imagination. For
some time past people have generally had
au idea that Loudon contained four mil

however, be taken into consideration that.

among the better class of people

MR. ti1:11i STIIEGGLE
-NA' at this writing it is impOssi
.l6, to say what the result of the
rug<_tie in the New York Legislature'
but it, is evident enough that.
Mr. 00 . Nkr.1,:c has. suffered a disas-.
trolls defeat. Since it is demonstrated
that he cannot be re-elected by Re
pu'olicaill votes, his vindication is im
possitile‘and leis career as a political
leade4 ia closed. Ilis4esignation ;Nits
,
a
greht. Wunder, as his best friends
- now admit, and as .quiet observers
knew at the time. It was not.a com
mon 'blunder.' Being extraordinary,
its effect will be not less extraordi
nary.. It' was a mistake that no pub
lic man ever has the opportunity to
make twice. . -
„
Two roads are open to air. CONK
LINO, He can only be re-elCcted by
lictraying the Republican 'party, just
as he betrayed the Senate, into Dem
toratic hands. By combining his
'forces with the Democrats to ele.lt a
Democrat to :the Senate, he can un
doubtedly induce the 'Democrats to
elect himslf. But what sort- q
vindication would that be ? His
quarrel is Oh the Adininistration,
to which the Democrats are of course
opposed.:' In such a contest - no Re
publican can be vindicated by DeinCt
eratie
.votes. Should he be able to
make such a disagreeable bargain, he
could never be a 'Republican leader .
again. Parties do. not forgive such
treason Elected. by Democratic
votcs,, Mr. COM:TANG would step
dcWifroin the-place of control and
be no ii - re known as a political
power. The Democrats would profit
by his treason, but-they woull never
trclit the traitor. But what sort of 'a
figure w o uld he make in history as_a
•
Senator who was prominent as a Re
publican tender but who resigned in
order to be vindicated by his oppo
nents ?
That is one road. The other lies'
in c l iresehting aneleetion by the sill
tin4 Legislature aril, going •to th
country in the fall elections. The
end of that k not Obscured by- any
uncertainty. :Mr. CoNk•wro would
notlbe able to secure a 'Legislature
that could elect him. Ile would only
def4r the inevitable punishment he
invited wherf he resigned. In - any
ease he is thrown beyond recovery.
Thrk, the roads open to-Mira on paths
-toUevitable disaster, and-take Which
ever". he will he cannot escape ,the
penalty of destructiVi methods.
- The lesson.is to all public men who
set their personal ambitions . up
against the will of the people.' The
people want leaders, and they will
endtife- 0 great deal at the bands of
leadeis.,:liut at last they will avenge
thetnsoVes in their own - Were
the' i4ple always to defer tollte will
of -a leader, what would therbe bet:

1.74:1E1t thi3 Constitution the right of the
people to beim arms is regarded as a very
sacred one, although it is enacted in• the
statutes thao no Man can carry concealed
deadly weapims. Nod, it is a well settled
fact that the beiiring, of concealed deadly
weapons is very counnon,-the-piactice bt - *.-
ing indulged
,in by men of all ages, all eon
ditions and pursuits. And what is the re-
sult ? PoOr-tifths of the -murders com
mitted iu the comitryi, are hymen who ex
remise this right of carrying, arms, and of
,using them for, deidly purposes in a•trmi

revolvers owned and ;carried imthe coun
try are unnecessary aS a means of protec
tion for person or property, serving mere
ly as token; of ravado or means to men

authorities understand this better than
other people, for they come directly in
contact with the wretches whei bear arms'
for criminal purposes.. But it is not the
openly depraved who do all the mischief
iii theSre premises. Many oyiinarily de
cent men are tempted into carrying arms,
who, in a i inoment of-passion, are tempt
ed into doing acts which they would never
have done had the .practice of carrying
deadly weapons not been ih vogue. Alto
