WASHINGTON CITY is overrun with

disappointed our amiable contemporary ,
Is In part at least Iho natural result of
tiio Jlcjntlilican'a bolt of the late Mayor
Murphy mid the lukewarm support
which that wishy-washy concern gavn to
the county ticket last fall. While the by

of the executors in ejecting Ids sister

ably only the beginning of a Ncrie.s of the
events bordering upon scandal to result
from the peculiar will of Mr. Tihton , of
which thu New York Ifcraltl says that it that

Paul's Villainy ,
The astounding revelations which wo
present elsewhere of the monstrous vil
lainy of J , N. Paul will arouse n ROIISO of
Indignation in the breast of every honor
able man in tlic slate. It is the story of
a foul wrong committed upon the family
of an nged clergyman , whoso heart
broken statement affords conclusive and
da.nning testimony against this seducer
of Innocence and suborner of perjury. It
shows this man Paul lo bo ono of the
most despicable wretches that ever trod
the soil of Nebraska. .Not only has ho
been guilty of till Hint has been charged
against him by this paper , but lie has add-
to his crimes a deliberate
subornation of perjury. Hy a most cim-
ning and devilish device he made his
victim believe that she could only save
ono of her near relatives from Iho peni
tentiary by signing a false alliilavll
exonerating her seducer. When the
decent republicans of Howard county
read the pathetic story of Kev. Mr.
Lewis as it appears on another pace of
this issue , they certainly must fool keenly
the disgrace which attaches to them nud
Ihelr county t'hrough the endorse
ment which their convention , packed
by Gonornl Kendall and Paul , has given
to this infamous scandal. Such a shame
less exhibition of indecency could only
bo made under the
leadership of a man
like General Kendall , whoso record is
smirched all over.
It remains to bo scon whether the dele
gation from Howard county.will dare , in
tlio face of this damning disclosure , to
present the name of J. N. Paul to the
great state convention that will assemble
at Lincoln next week. It remains to be
soon whether this man Paul will have the
audacity to put in nn appearance himself.
For our part wo feel fully justified fn
the exposure wo have made for the pur
pose of preventing the republican party
from committing itself to the candidacy
ot a man with Paul's record.

There lias been a shocking frequency
in railway accidents recently , both east
and west. Scarcely a day passes but the
wires bring news of loss of life and
property through collisions , misplaced
switches , broken coupling or imperfect
rolling stock. In most instances the
cause has boon found to bo duo to the
criminal negligence or carelessness of
those intrusted with the details of man
agement. Orders were either misunder-
rt > od or disobeyed
, or employe ; wore
lacking in vigilance , inspections were
hastily made or signals carelessly
noted. Human life , in most
cases , was the sacrifice made on
tlio altar of human carelessness.
It is natural under such circumstances
for railroad managements to shift tlio
blame upon tlie shoulders of tlieir subor
dinates. But tlioro is often , too often wo
fear , another side of the story than that
which comes out before committees of
investigation and coroner's jury. At n
recent accident , where the engineer was
sleeping , the fact was brought out that
the overworked employe had been on
duty for fifteen hours , without sleep.
In another case where a defect in the
track causca a spread of the rails , the
section force bad been reduced in
half only a , few weeks pre
viously. The blame for tlio
results in each of these cases rested in
all justice on the heads of a careless
management , which failed to appreciate
the fact Hint there are limits to human
endeavor and bounds to human capacity
for good WOI-K. An overworked body
and an overtaxed brain are incapable o"f
the best performance. Carelessness is
the natural consequence.
Such catastrophics as those at Silver
Creek , on the Nickel Plato route a few
weeks ngo , ought to bo impossible. In
England , with a dense population and an
incessant rush of travel , but ono person
out of every 0.000,000 passengers was
killed on railroads last year. It is quilo
possible to reach this standard of safety
the United States , but it will not bo at tlic
tained under the liap-luward system of
mamigemcnt that is prevalent in many
sections of tlio country.

The chorus of opposition raised by
tlie London press to the action of the
lord mayor in opening a subscription for
the relief of the Charleston siiflerorrf ,
has directed attention to tlio abounding
poverty of the English metropolis
as ex-
ousing opposition to charitable contribiu

London papers undoubtedly etato tlio was

homeless and hungry In that great city ,
than in Chnrlostou. The paupprs of Lon race

Tlio truth Is that the industrial condi

anything reassuring in the outlook.
widespread destitution is making ox-
traordiuary demands upon the charitable Iho
institutions , to meet which it has recently
founa noeossary to put forth special adapt
oiibrla in soliciting contribution * , partic
ularly in London. These wore only par his

Rtiflslii la licttot' Temper.
The petition of the Bulgarian sobraujo
to the C/.ar , praying for Ills friendship
and protection , was responded to by the
Russian agent m the most pacific and
conciliatory terms , ilosaid that the de
parture of Priiico Alexander hail removed
tiioc obstacle lo the good relations between
Kussia and Bulgaria. That obstacle had
been dangerous to the prosperity of Bui-
garii , which Russia lias at heart , and if it
shall not be restored , the mere idea of
which ' Russia will not admit , tlioro is in
that fact aguarmitco of the happiness and
independence of Bulgaria. After tins
very pronounced declaration of Russia's
hostility to Alexander , if the prince still
has any : supporters who desire his return
they may as well abandon their wish as
hopeless. It is evident that under no
circumstances would ho ho permitted to
resume the functions whicli lie surrendered
dcrc , and in Hie choice of Iho assembly
which is lo elect Iho now prince , tlic Bul
garian people will consult their peace
and security by leaving Alexander wholly
out of ' consideration.
The assurance of the Russian agent
that Hie other guarantees of hap
piness and independence for Bulgaria
garii are in moderation and con
cord implies also shrewd advice
whicli the Bulgarian people will find it
good policy to hood. They may ns well
understand that in tlio existing exigency
they have nothing to gain by extrava
gant I demonstrations of feeling and fac
tional contentions. Tlie fact they have
to face is Unit they are at the mercy of
powers which are not to bo moved from
tlio line . of policy they have marked out
with | respect to Bulgaria by any action
or expression on tlio part of the people of
that country , and that they have moro to
hopi for from well-behaved acquiescence
in what scorns to be inevitable than from
a policy of dissension and discord. In
order to do this it will undoubtedly bo
necessary to concede almost everything
to Russian : influence and desire , but in
any event it appears certain that these
will ultimately prevail , and it is obviously
better for the Bulgarian people that they
shall do so witli as little friction r.s possi
ble Heneo moderation and concord are
the qualities which tlmt people should at
this time especially cultivate , and tlioy
seen disposed to do so. Tlic present
aspect and promise of tlio Bulgarian sit
uation ! is entirely peaceful.
A Olurk of Progress.
The colored people of Washington Citj'
are getting ready an exposition intended
to illustrate the progress made by tlio
race since tliu close ot the war in intel
lectual , mechanical and other lines of
achievement. The colored pupils in the
publie schools will exhibit their attain
ments ; skill in needlework , painting and
cookery , incarpentry , plumbing , brick-
making , slioomaking and other artisan-
ship , and so on , will bo shown. A can
non made by a colored man in Boston ,
and a working model of a locomotive
made by a colored machinist in
the Baldwin works , are instanced ,
and a colored band will perform music
by local colored composers. It will bo .
seen that a considerable range of work is *
covered. And the projectors have ac- a
coptcil no aid from while people's money
getting up Hie allair. This exhibit will
doubtless attract and deserve widespread
attention , and there is reason to expect
that it will provo a most conclusive argu
ment in refutation of an opinion still en of
tertained by many , that the colored people
ple generally have not improved the op
portunities whicli emancipation and the
equality of citizenship resulting thoro-
from , brought them. It will provo , wo a
liavo no doubt , not only that the colored in
people have made substantial advance "
ment where the conditions liavo been
equally favorable to them with those en
joyed by the whites , but that in most di of
rections tlieir average capacity and apti-
ludo are quite on a par with those of the its
whiles.
Indeed , candid and unprejudiced
people long ago gave up
old idea that the negro race of this
country is fettered by limitations of intel
lectual capacity and adaptability which
would keep it perpetually in a position of for
moro or less abject inferiority nnd de
pendence. In slavery , where every aspi and
ration for improvement and elevation
was crushed out in a menace to the insti
tution , ami wliero cvory condition that
for
was denied him , the negro went along
from generation to generation without
developing any traits or qualifications

largely upon this fact that the insti
tution was defended , ami belief in iho In
capacity and helplessness of vho negro

sources , was as general ouUidu as within the
limits of slave territory. the

that this belief would bo justified. 0

conditions , and thosa most intoresled in

uogro with tlio notion that book by
learning was the ono desideratum , disregarding
of
garding the no loss essential re
quirement of praotlcal knowledge. A Hie
years' experience , however , of- arm
fooled a change of view in lids' regard ,
whioh tlio moro intelligent ami discrim with
inating among tlio colored people saw /on
necessity for as readily as did thu
whiles. The negro began to learn and side
himself to practical trades and oc nees
cupations , and at thin time ho is making tance
way gradually but surely into moat of

she signed the paper which ho presented
to her , but after Hui fated document hud
gone on its mission of evil , when calm
ness and reason had resumed their sway ,
she , realizing that she had done wrong ,
wrote to me telling mo what she had
done and the circumstances which Inllu
oneed her to do it ; that she was so ex
cited and alarmed by his rehearsal of the
sad news ; "that she hardly knew
what she was doing , and that her
contradiction of her first statement of
.Mr. Paul's '
guilt was
a miserable lie.
Such , Mr. Kditor.is the substantial history
of that ailidavit. How much Cullev was
paid for his knavery wo cannot toll , but
all who know him , know full well that
lie performs no such services gratuitously
and , < J. N. Paul is the last man on earth
that ho would accommodate without re
muneration. Ho is a democrat and
' per
sonally unfriendly to Paid and has been
for years past. Mr. Paul states that tliu
reason , that he did not secure the ailida
vit sooner wad the fact that ho did not
know the whereabouts of Miss Lewis.
That statement
Hi : KNOWS TO IlltUNTUUB.
She < has been in the same loealitv since
the fall of 1881 and the family have al
most weekly correspondence with her.
There has been no desire or attempt to
conceal her whereabouts. Her place of
residence has been generally known in
the community. Mr. Paul cannot suc-
.cessfully play the role of marlyr
so far as this cnso is concerned. Tiio
plea of martyrdom belongs of right to
thomiposite litigants in this case. Ho is
entitled to no sympathy on account of
anything growing out of the reopening
of this ease. Ho can blame nobody biii
himself and his injudicious friends. '
I have made these statements for pub
lication out of no vindictiveness of spi-it.
The onl.y wish that I have in regard to J.
.N. 1'jiul is that ho may reform and be
come n bettor , more honest and truthful
man than his course for the past fourteen
years has shown him to be. It is with

mist accept all the consequences ot his
