Over in France two velocipedista have succeeded in beating a railroad train in a ten mile trip. Btft Americans can excei tlint. Tliey can beat the conductor. Bolff Ben BntTer is tobe investígated. The new democratie board of managers of national Boldiers home is going to pry into all the secreta of his manasiement of those institutions.

A ga'eat many people seem to be of Dortglns' mind- that Vermont is a good place to emigrate trom. IIoTd hard there! This great repubKcan party of ours is not to be trusted. It has nominated a confedérate brigalier for lieiitenant-goveinor in North Carolina. ïhns are the rebels coming back into possession of the govemment In spite of the ring it looks as thougli Dr. Rynd was knoeked out of the box.

Cari Schurz, oblivious tothe lapses o tlie other civil-service reformeis of the administration, refuses to permit the party managers to molest or make af raid his subordinates. He has given the repnblican campaign committee notice that his clerks may coiitribute, if tliey please, but that not one of them who refuses shall be disturbad. At last, but away up in Minnesota, there has been foiind a coroner's jury ■with stamina sufficient to do its duty. It holds the owner of the e.teamboat which exploded on Lakc Minnetonka criniinally liabTe, not becaos the boiter wus not flt for use, but because-he took no nicans to asceitalo Tviiether it was or not. Because he was aegligent, the jury acenses him of manslaughter. And tlris is just. WhoCTer nndertakes the business of transportïng people froro one place to another, micsst be iw;ide to onderstand that carelessness r negligenoe in any detail of their work will not be tolerated, under penalty of striped su its and prison fare.

"WTien lie wrote, as Tie ditf reeeniïy,to the Vermont republican convention that General Gartield was not tainted in the slifihtest by the Oredit-Mobilier investiga! i on. whlcfc was condscted by a cominittee of wirfch he himself was ebairKKin, Judge Poland seems to have forgotten bis own official report, wherein it is said: "The facts in regard to Mr. Garlield, as fovmd by thecommiUeo. ave that he agreed with Mr. Ames to take ten shares of Credit Mobilier stock, bnt áid rtot pay for tlie sanie.
