As n candidate for the presidency Mr.
Abe Hewitt has ceased to exist. Hi"
taking off has boon as sudden as it was
unexpected. Mr. ITnndy , ono of the
editors of the Philadelphia 7Vc s , says
there was a torpedo under the scat of
Abe Hewitt , sandidUo for the democratic
presidential nomination. Judging from
llandy's card , which has just boon pub.
lishod , wo should say that the torpedo
w/u a bombaholl , and that it Ins ex
ploded. Ita explosion is c\usini { con
siderable sensation in diplomatic and po
litical circles , particularly nmonq the
Irish-Americans , whoso support Hewitt
has boon fishing for. Mr. Hand ;
charges that Mr. Hewitt has boon
playing a disgraceful double game ,
Considerable credit was given by
the Irish to Mr. Hewitt for his
resolution in behalf of O'Donnoll , and
his political stock want up several points ,
Mr. Handy now charges that Mr. Hewitt
was not only insincere in the introduc
tion of the resolution , but In an under-
hindod way attempted to defeat its ob
ject. It is assorted that failing to in
duce certain republican members of congress
gross to object to ita consideration , IK
wont to the British minister and virtu
ally apologized for his action nnd that o
the house , claiming that hit object in
troducing the resolution WAS to forestall
ono of a morobolli < ; orcnt chare tor , which
ho said would have boon passed ha <
ho not taken this atop. The Britisl
minister is said to have communicated
this information to the foreign ollico in
London , and it naturally had ita offocl
upon the reception of Secretary Froling
huyson's request for O'Donnoll's respite.
It is not unlikely that this dnmagiiif
charge against Hewitt will bo made the
subject of an investigation. It cortainlj
has raised n breeze , which is rapidly
growing into a blizzird , and unless Mr ,
Hewitt can quiet it his presidential
aspirations will bo blown away with the
wind. Ho has already attempted an ox
planation. The story , ho says , i
based partly upon falsehood nut
partly upon a misrepresentation o
the facU. Ho denies asking an ;
ono to oppose his resolution , and say
that his only object in showing his resolution
lution to republicans was to avoid objec
tiona to it. However , ho admits the cal
upon the British minister , and trios ti
smooth it over by saying that it wa
merely a social visit. It certain !
proved an ill-timed call , as the rosul
shows. Mr. Hewitt saya :
"Whilo talking over the topic
of the day , Minister West asked if
objected to stating my reasons inofforin
the O'Donnell resolution. I told hire
as I had told our secretary of state bofoi
the resolution was offered , that if O'Dor
neil was an America n citizen it was tl
duty of the government to see that 1
had had a fair trial ; and as the time bi
twoon conviction and execution was to
abort to enable our government to n
view the case and aisuro ourselves tin
the trial had been n perfectly fair on
wo wore entitled to oak for a'delay. Th
is the position 1 have taken all along i
the matter. "
Mr. Hewitt's explanation will not 1
accepted. Mr. Handy's charges a
couched in language which cannot 1
mistaken , and his statements are vo
circumstantial , being based , as ho claim
upon information from authentic source
Mr. Hewitt's vaulting ambition has ovc
leaped itself. Ilia peroration to t !
American eagle , upon his return fro
Palestine , was a waste of wind.
LouiHiANA'ayouthful congroasman , 11
Blanchard , expects the Mississippi riv
to float him on to lame. In his maid
speech ho eloquently referred to t
"grandson of the Father of Waters
whatever that may bo. In the course
his speech , which of course was on t
Mississippi river appropriation , ho call
on Mr. Herr , the Michigan wit , to t
plain the necessity of giving the lov
committee charge of the appropriati
for the rivor. Mr. Herr accepted t
invitation , but after speaking a few ml
utes upon the nocotsity for adequate i
propriation for all the rivera and harbt
of the country , ho aaid those Mississty
river men were vrildj'jthoy imagined the

ard atood it as long as ho could , when
suddenly exclaimed : "Mr. Speaker , 11

tloinau from Michigan , Ho ia making
speech on the wrong side of the qui
tion. " Shouts of laughter followed tl
outbreak , and none enjoyed the jo
more than Herr himsolf. If Herr kco

It is to bo regretted that the two great
Irish loaders , Parnell and Davitt , have
had a noriou * falling out. They seem to
have forgotten that in union there is
strength. Davitt denounces the proposed
policy of the Parnollito parliamentary
party nnd the tendency of ita loader to
subordinate the land question and other
nationnl matters of importance to simply
irritating attacks on the government.
Mr. Pnrnoll , in reply to Davitt's criti
cisms , is reported to have said that Dav
itt was a man of ono idea as well as n
one-armed man. Ibis waa , indeed , an
unkind and cruel cut , and if true it will
servo to widen the broach so that it car
never bo closed between thcso two lead
ers , Each has n strong following , and
the dissension may prove dis <
aatrous to the Irish cause for yean
to come. Divided among themselves tlu
reforms and progressive movements
which they have boon building up , musi
cither bo retarded or fall to the ground ,
and leave the Irish people hopelessly a
sea in their affairs. It ia hoped , in behalf
half of the people of Ireland , that tin
quarrel will bo compromised.
Pnrnoll is undoubtedly the most popu
lar loader of the Irish people , and ho cnr
afford to bo magnanimous towards Davitl
in this unpleasantness , aud particular ! )
so if it will load to harmonize affairs , am
thus result beneficially for the constitu
oiicy of both.
The Parnollito programme is outlinoc
by the English proas as follows : First
the assimilation of the English ana Irisl
franchises , to which the whole Ubora
party is pledged ; second , the reform o
Irish county government , to which boll
sides of the house are committed ; third
the amendment to the land act so as t
moot the views of Ulster ; and , fourth
the parliamentary review of the admiu
iatration of the crimes act.
Michael Davitt in a letter , dated DC
comber 29th , to the Chicago Tribunc-
and written before the broach botwco
himself and Parnoll had widened to th
serious extent announced by cable o
Saturday last says that in the abstrac
this programme is unobjectionable , nn
ho adds :
Everything will depend upon the wa
in which it is executed , and that in tur
will probablv depend upon the skill an
tact with which nn informal modus vii
ondi ia established between the ininistei
and the representatives of the Irish po ]
ular party. Meantime the Irish ropri
sontativoa are yet to meet for the annui
election of chairman , or lender , and tl
discussion of what measures are to I
inhoduccd for Ireland or the line of _ a
tion to bo taken during the seasioi
This mooting is announced for
date near the opening of parliament , an
is to bo hold in the city hall , Dublii
That Mr. Parnoll will bo ro-olectc
louder goes without saying , but whetlu
the programme which has been given
or is not the ono which is to bo dolibo
ntcd upon at the coming annual confo
once is premature to say. * * * Tl
work that is to bo performed for Irolnr

The resignation of Judge McCv 'ary to
nccopt the position of gonornl eounv.or
of the Atclmon , Topokn it Santo Fan.1'
road continues to bo the subject of can
sidornblo comment. ThwNow York World
says :
"Goorgo W. McCrary , of Iowa , loft
his oat in Unycs' cabinet to nccopt the
honornblo life position of United States
circuit judge of the Kk'hth circuit. Ilia
predecessor , Judge John F. Dillon , re
signed from the bench to bccomo the
counsel of the Union Pacific railway nnd
other corporations , Now Judgs McCrnry
follows in his footsteps.
"The object is , of course , pecuniary
ndvanlago. The judges are drawn into
nssocintion with the largo and wealthy
railroad corporations , and when they nro
offered liberal incomes in the plnco of the
9(5,000 ( salary attached to the judgeship ,
they forgot the dignity nnd the honor
nnd secure the money.
"It h not encouiaging to learn that
these influences are so frequently success
ful. The thought will force itaolf into
the public mind that there is too close
and sympathetic n connection between
the corporations nnd the bench. Of
course n judge had bettor resign than
nccopt favors from the corporations while
on the bench. Hut may not nome judges
who learn of the large incomes secured
through these changes be too anxious to
gain the friendship- the corporations ?
"What _ ia the remedy ? Ought wo to
pay United States judges more liberal
salaries ? That might in some degree
lessen the evil. But can it over bo erad
icated until n judicial life position on the
United States bench is regarded as ono
of the highest honors a citizen can reach ,
and until only such judges are appointed
na will bn certain to value the honor
above money ? "
The Wild "Western Editor In Kuropc.
Chicago News.
The wild western editor always has nn
eye on business. There waa Dr. Morri
son Munford , proprietor of our esteemed
contemporary , The Kansas City Times ;
ho wont to Europe to recreate and recupe
rate , nud while idling away the golden
August hours in Paris ho happened to
notice in a stray copy of his paper nn
cditorinl favoring stone pavements in
Kansas City. Ho sat right down then
and there in ono of the galleries of the
Louvre nnd penned an eighty-dollar
editorial cablegram to his paper , de
nouncing stone and demanding wood
pavements. The night nftor this cditori
nl appeared in The Kansas City Times ,
the cedar and white pine trees all along
the Missouri bottoms caught the spirit
of the boom and grow ninety feet tnll
,1 nud eight feet thick , while the rocks
and blocks of atone in the same neigh-
boihood dwindled down to the HUO of
potblos. And hero comes Dr. George
L. Miller , proprietor of The Omaha
Herald , with a telegraphic editorial from
Bingon on the Rhino bolstering up Ran
dall nnd the high protective tariff people
nnd this , too , in the very face of the
fact that The Omaha Herald has boon
pounding away vigorously in defense of
Carlisle and the freo-trado gang over
since congress convened. Those maybe
bo inconsistencies , but they are the
inconsistencies of the papers not of the
editors. The Kansas City Times was in
consistent when it bawled for stone pavements -
monts , while Dr. Munford was interview
ing ducal palaces and public picture galleries -
lories nbrond ; Dr. Munford wns consist
ent when ho tore a leaf from his guide
book nnd hurled across the briny ocean
an eloquent clamor for wood pavements.
Anil the inconsistency was on the part of
the Omaha Herald when it yelled for free
trndo , nnd not on the part of Dr. Miller
when he lifted up his voice on the nether
bank of the Rhino and proclaimed for
high tariff or death But the opportuni
ties for inconsistencies should bo pro-
eluded before the editors of our wild
western exchanges venture abroad. In
other words , when Dr. Munford or Dr.
Miller or nny other western journalist
contemplates n visit to foreign Innds , he
should leave nt homo nn explicit and de
tailed schedule from which his paper ia
under no circumstances whatever to de
viate.

It will bo remembered that the press
las' of late contained numprous articles
concerning the camola which were im
ported and used for some time in carrying
; oods nnd freight across the dry wastes
of Arizona , and which wore , after
; ho completion of the Southern Pacific
road , turned loose and allowed to roam
away as being of no further use.
Among the passengers on last evening's
tr.iin was Mr. John Shirley , onp of the
wealthiest land-ownesi and largest sheep
nnners in Australia , lie has just pur
chased from the company \rhich imported
; hem the entire lot of camels , which now ,
ay natural increase , number about 400 ,
and ho is qping to New York on n brief
jusiness trip , after whiah he will return
to Arizona nnd nrrango for the recapture
ind shipment of the nnrmnls , which vrill
bo n big job nnd require a good denl of
time. It ia proposed to use them in the
unsettled nnd barren portions of the
smallest of the five continents , nnd in
transporting freight across the portions
which nro harron nnd destitute of wnter ,
but contain some rich mines.
The entire drove wna * purchased for
