|DUT 0E THEIR own MOUTHS
THEY STAND CONDEMNED

In our remarks upon the resoiu-
#tioas adopted by the Chicago Con-
Eventien, we stated that the ones in
relation TO retrenehment and reform
might be regarded as the best joke
ofthe season. We also stated that
after having control Of the national
affairs for more than three years OF
peace, that the radicals ought to be
able to show by their works that
they are really the friends of retrench
meat and reform. But they have
nothing to show for the past, and
Snow only offer the people pledges
flor the future. 1t would seem that
I'VE are not alone In our views upon
this subject, and that some Of the
noat influential radical editors en-
&orse cur views and condemn their
Dwn party. Among the editors men
soned, we find Mr.. RAYMOND, OF
ne New York Times, who uses the
blIowing language In regard 10 the
caien a the Chicago Radical Con
Eentiou
ain certain respects the platform
bounds Ironically. Declarations In
Avor OF o rapid reduction Of taxa
don and the strictest economy In
he administration of the government
IRE unasailable as abstract PROPOSE
lions. Every nlan not fed at the
public expense viii hold up both
hands for them. But Republican
Convention I'm 1868 ought to have
been able 10 present something mere
effective than promises. The party
has been In power long enough to
have gathered q rich store OF perfoF-
naances. 1t shdnld have been able 10
go before the country with record
OF services rendered In regard to both
retrenchment and taxation. The
public purse has been for years al
together In It's hands. It has had
exclusive management of the apprO~
priatiolss and exclusive power Of the
f0fms and amount OF taxatioEss How
happens 1t, then, that In O platform
intended to set forth Its claims to
continued confidence 1t has nothing
better 10 offer than resolves I'm favor
Of reforms which it has obstinately
and eulpabiy neglected. 2 Why Il II
that nd serious attempt has been
made 10 enforce even moderate ecnn-
my, and that, In consequence, the
noaftion of taxes must be large In
diti0n to the debt !? These are
Dak spots IN the party's record -

daily welcome this new velume in which he
disconrses of dominies 1T is quite as good as,
perhaps even better than its predecessor. 1t
is as playfully wise, as pleasantly sensible as
that, and the humor of the author seems to us
warmer and finer. He talks on so quietly, so
gracefully, so wittily about schools, school
masters and scholars, revealing a deal of
shrewd observation, large fund of common
sense, and a healthy, hearty philosophy which
are refreshing and invigorating Many of the
ideas he advances-or rather holds to- for they
are rather old-fashoned ones-may fail to
command the assent of the reader, but hardly
any one can fail to like the book in which he
has put them forth.
