Tin remains of Mrs. Marian Evans Cross were interred at IIighgate Cme tory, London, on Wednesday. Under the nom de phone of George Eliot she achieved greater literary distinction than had ever before beeii enjoyed by any woman. She would have been buried in Westminster Abbey but for the irregularity of her marriage with the late G. II. Lewes. A Disgrace to the Government. The arrests that are now being made by Federal marshals are a shame and disgrace to the United States govern. ment. That government, administer ed by Republicans, who arrogantly assume to themselves a monopoly of decency and brains, is represented in the South and in South Carolina by the lowest and most lirresponsible specimnens of humanity in the State. These Commissioners sit in their offices and get a half dozen lying negro pimps and s.trikers to sign their names to reaidy-inade afidavits, and on these they arrest the soberest, quietest and best citizensof the State who a1re utterly guiltless. Down here their game is well tin derstood. The governieit pays ex travagant costs for every waIrait anid hearing, whether the accused he guilty not. It is only for the sake of these fe0a4t 4.ssts that these Coimission era aid ilarsila-9.do the dirty work of Congressional 1spirati; From tile nature of the a1rrests1niade in Fairfield it Is palpably plain that the affidavits are made out. blindly and at haphazzard, and that blank afilida vits are na(le out and then filled in with tie naies of any citizens whol. the Commissioner happens to hear of. Of course nothing is going to be done with the parties arrested. Tle,y have doie notlingr worthy 'Of convic tion, and the Federal government knows it. But they are put to ex pense and trouble in being called away from their business. This is thle outrage, and for this the government 1s responisible. men01 who havwe been arrestedl is (1i0 caulse of the whole people, and the p)eople staind solidly and squarely at their back. As they hlave been picked. out sliply because thley belongv~ to the Demnocratie lart"y, thaiit party must see to it that they' - penses0 mu Lst be mot, by a general con tribution, and It must be felt that in touchlinig one of' them the whole coml unity is attacked. Just so soon1 as -lhe proper time arrives definite ar rangomnents will be made for the futl relief of tile parties arrested.' In the1 meantime let thlem feel -assured that Fairfld stalnds solidlly at their back and wvill see to it thlat, they comlc- to no harm. Also let it be uniderstood thatt tseyig witntesses aregoing to have arouigh, mighty rough tiine of it. C.. ONCRALED WYEAF'OS. An.
