osity. His wife is attending to him.
We think Counsellor Wilson takes his

Cardinal McClosky is trying to swing on
thi Irish gate without displeasing the Pope.
A Georgia woman has contested the mur-
der of her husband and will put the State to
the expense of hanging.
Ik General Henry W. Slocum's goose is
going to be cooked for President we shall im-
mediately want to know who he is.
Tub Jersey City Standard Oil company's
tank was struck by lightning and produced
terrible devastation by Are and explosion.
Denver had a hail storm on the 8th instant
which presents the hail storm question in a
new aspect. The "oldest inhabitant" has not
been in his right mind since.
General Crook is trying to pursuade the
Government that he has gone into Mexico on
a gigantic Apache hunt. The doubt seems to
arise from his having no orders.
Postmaster General Grrsiiam has
taken under advisement the question as to
whether pasting a newspaper slip on a postal
card subjects it to letter postage. There is no
public excitement.
Dallas has a Justice of the Peace called
Crotty who continues in the judicial swing
with seven criminal indictments hanging over
him. We want him sent to Ireland and tried
for the Pha-nix pirk murders.
The Rocky Mountain News has just an-
nounced Dorsheimer of New York as a " re-
markable man." Dorsheimer some years ago
tried lager a season with Schwab and the ex-
citement has not subsided yet. Schwab is
six parts beerist and half a dozen parts Com-
munist and preserves those proportions in all
his operations. Of course Dorsheimer is a
"remarkable man"
It is running civil service reform in the
ground to complain that Uurrell who was re-
cently appointed Chiel ol the llurcau of En-
graving and Printing by Secretary Folger
should have appointed a son of Secretary
Folger to a place under him. This maudlin
sickness is not reform. How could Mr.-Bur-rell
reasonably deny young Folger the appoint-
ment if he had the qualifications for the place?
And should he deny him ? Does the fact thrt
young Mr. Folger's father happens to be a
gentleman and holds the position of Secretary
of the 1 reasury place mm under any disabili
ty t This preposterous idea that a young man
is to be disqualified from making a living be
cause he happens to have decent associations
had better be scuttled and sunk.
THIS OAl(i:s AMES IU'.VIVAIi.
It is rarely lhat so plaintive and pitiful an
appeal is made ta the public as that of the
heirs of the late Hon. Oakcs Ames of Massa-
chusetts in behalf of his memory. He died
the victim of a quickened conscience heart-
broken and in disgrace leaving six or seven
millions to heirs who feel the remorseless
edge of the cold steel sticking in the heart of
his reputation. Rich buoyant exultant reck-
less confident in the omnipresence of wealth
and the omnipotence of power Ames was the
last man to apprehend any such danger as a
towering conscience erecting Itself over and
beyond the excitement and dim of the great
" Commotion motion motion the country
through"
which in those days engrossed to the exclu-
sion of something else Congress the people
and the papers.
Ames was at the top of those who had
undertaken the Southern Pacific and as its
charter interdicted any application of its
stock as bribes for Congressional subsidies it
bought out the Credit Mobilier a Pcnnsyl
vania corporation and by meant of its name
and charter accomplished by cautious and
stealthy movements that brought one Con
gressman after another in its toils the most
amazing results in the way of bribery and
the most amusing dilemmas after exposure
that fiction ever conceived or fact expounded
All sought escape by denial prevarication
self-contradiction dodges of all degrees of
cunning and deception of all degrees of hy
pocrisy; There was a prodigious host of
slain some like Schuyler Colfax Vice Pres
ident retired and their names are never
heard. Others braved it out. None escaped.
But one who had exhibited temerity beyond
parallel found himself in a plight worse than
the rest in the face of responsibility that had
not sought concealment for all the nefarious
acts and flagrant devices. That one was
Oakes Ames. He fought out the fight
worsted beyond cure and retired from
the field beyond recall. In that
seclusion' an hour of which might
have been precious to him when he had no
thought of its virtues he was overtaken by
the avenger of the world's wrongs the retri-
bution that unsuspected often follows men in
the paths they go and brings them before
that tribunal for trial where presides a judge
alike remorseless and unerring and whose
name is conscience.
He freqnented the old ways and they were
not the same and hankered alter old delights
that were lost to him and he discovered the
law and its operations and helpless in that
extremity which none could relieve or feel he
passed through the forms ol trial compre-
hended only by himself was condemned to
death and died.
It was sad that he should be thus taken
from his millions and that with them a blight
should descend upon his heirs sad that they
can not cleanse the money of its
stains and look the bright world
in the face and enjoy the happiness they have
done nothing to forfeit or destroy. Hut so it
is. Justice which is at the bottom of all
things sometimes as in this gets to the top.
It has its own work. It has its lesson ol ad
monition to read to all the world its warnings
to serve its good to accomplish. These could
not be surrendered and wherever the cost
falls it must be borne.
TIIK KXKCUTION OF OUK'iEY.
Curley has suffered to-day. The navicu
lars of the execution will be known to-mor
row. It was of course preposterous to ex-
pect that the clear proof adduced bv the Gov
ernment of the commission of the Phrcnlx
Park murders by Timothy Kelly and loe
Urady and by only them one of whom has
been executed and the other awaits execution
on the 1st of June would lead to any abate
ment of the work of vengeance in which
me English Uovcrnment is encaeed. The
conviction of Curley was as wanton as his ex
ecution not on the part of the jury but of the
Judge who iustructed them in the law. It was
as well known when he was convicted and
when the Judge in his charge declared in
effect that it was not possible for him to be
guilty as afterward when proof of the true
event el the murders was adduced.
It was therefore preposterous to sun-
pose that the Government would keep
its mood-stained hands from this act of mur-
der. The Government wants veneeance. It
wants its acts of vengeance to be appalling in
order not only that the death of liurke and
Cavendish shall be avenged but that there
shall be no more llurkes and Cavendishes
killed. And with this criminal object in view
the question of guilt ceases to be imporlant
to it in its dealings with its victims. But let
r.ngland beware of impunity. The dav is
probably not distant when a balance will be
struck In the Government ledger and the cry
for judgment on England will fill kingdom
and empire.
