Thrilling- Exhibition of Nerve by
House Painter In Cincinnati.
Cincinnati Commercial.
Bernard Koehler and Fritz liisgen,
two house painters, yesterday began
painting the large house at Betts street
and Central avenue. Three o'clock in
the afternoon found them close up un
der the eaves of the house and sixty-
five feet from the ground. They had
just finished tne surrace within reach
and had started to lower the scattjld a
few feet. When the required distance
had been reached Hisgen called to his
partner to hang on to the rope until he
(Hisgen) tied his own, when he would
come over and perform a like service
for him. Hisgen had just completed
his own knot when Koehler cried out:
"Come oyer quick, I can't hold it." His
gen, as quickly as possible, started
across the aenai image, out na not
gone two steps when he saw the man
et go his hold ana relt the ladder give
way beneath his feet. As he began the
fall, in the energy of desperation he,
with both hnnus, grasped the almost
smooth top of the fourth-story window
cornice and there hung in the air, a
distance of sixty feet from the pave
ment. He then gave an exniDition 01
nerve that terrified every one who saw
it. Placing the toe of one boot against
the window frame he gave his body a
slight pendulum motion away from the
house. A second push gave him a bet
ter impetus and as he swung on the re
turn toward the window he released
his hold and went crashing through
the glass safely to the floor of the
fourth-story room, from whence he im
mediately looked out through the aper
ture he had made to see what had be
come of his companion. Koehler had
not been quite so fortunate. As he
went shooting through the air he
caught the hanging rope with both
hands and lessened hi3 speed all the
way down at the expense of all the
cuticle of his palms, which was burned
off by the friction. He landed in a sit
ting posture on the sidewalk and was
taken to the hospital with a pair of very
sore hips.
It Is Rotten and Ought to Die.
The New York Herald, which so ar
dently cnampioneu uonjmng s side in
the Garfield contest, is now devoting
some editorial attention to the Repub
lican party, to which it pays its respects
in the following style, which we clip
from an editorial in the issue of the 23d
inst. :
The public, we say, looks on with
amusement or careless unconcern ; for
the public is tired of the Republican
oartv. The old superstition that some
thing quite too awfully dreadful would
happen to the country it the Republican
party should cease to misgovern it has
no longer nearly as much terror as it
used to have. Dorsey dinners, Brady
star routes, Indiana two-dollar bills
and Hubbell letters have done a good
deal in the last few months to disillu
sion honest men who really believed
that their party was the sole repository
or honesty and all the other virtues
The Republican tricksters and jobbers
have cried wolf while they were feath
ering their own nests, but the respecta
ble part or the country begins to see
through them. There is a rapidly grow
ing conviction that the Republican
party is no more necessary to the coun
try than was McClellan after Antietam,
and that the sooner it goes to pieces
and makes room for another and better
party the better it will be for the real
interests of the country.
People begin to ask themselves every
where what has this great Republican
party done and what is it doing for the
country ? They see it j ust now engaged
in a desperate fight over the public
plunder and neglecting every public in
terest in this disgraceful scramble,
And as they look on with contempt at
this exhibition, which has about as
much dignity as a first class dog fight,
they recall the fact that under Hayes it
did little else than carefully conceal the
stealing which it fostered, and that with
loud and interminable professions of
virtue in the last dozen years it has
only produced scandal after scandal
until the whole history of the party in
this period is made up of Belknap,
Robeson, Pacifio Mail, star route, whis
key traud, carpet-bag, salary grab and
a multitude of other jobberies of the
basest and most vulgar kind, mixed in
with the most abject subjection to rail
road and other corporation influences
And in all that time no one can recal
without an effort a solitary public ser
vice the party has rendered. It might
as well inscribe on its banners "mil
lions for plunder, not one cent for the
public interests."
It has resisted every reform : it has
prevented the repeal of every bit of the
obsolete and obstructive war legisia
tion ; it has maintained every bad law
on the statute book; it has shown in
every imaginable way its total incapa
city to deal with public questions, and
whenever publio opinion has pressed it
to do at least some trifling good it has
adroitly got up some new excitement
about the South, or some new, petty
and uncalled for quarrel with the uem
ocrats, with the sole view to engage the
attention of the people and draw their
minds away from public interests and
real questions.
The Republican party has in the gen
eral opinion fulfilled its mission. Why
should it not go to pieces ? Why should
any one of its honest voters mourn over
its disappearance t it may not be dead
at this moment, but it is rotten. It is
the creature of railroad and other cor
poration and monopoly influences. Its
most intimate relations are no longer
with, the people, but with the railroad
and telegraph kings, the Jay Goulds,
Stanfords, Huntingtons and others of
that kind, who own and control its
managers and chiefs. To say that such
a party, which deliberately chooses Dor
sey as one of its publio manipulators
and unblushingly gives him public din
ners ; which has protected and honored
Robeson, which openly courts the
friendship of public plunderers, which
during four years sheltered Brady in
his star route jobberies, and took part
of his gains for it3 campaign fund after
the exposures made of him in Con
gress; to say that such a party, which
scarcely conceals its relations with a
dozen lobbies, and many of whose pub
lic men live by jobs to say that this
party, quarrelling now over the spoils,
ought to live is absurd. It has lost even
the respect for public opinion which
leads jobbers usually to divide their
spoils in private,
