CANT STEAL ENoUGH.-The members of the
Pennsylvania Legislature want their pay
increased from one thousand to fifteen hundred
dollars. If they cannot make up the difference
out of the lobby they are poor set of legis-
lators and ought to emigrate to this State and
be sent to Albany; or, if they have influence
enough, go to Washington, where green backs
are so plenty that Members of Congress paper
their walls with them and Pacific Railroad

THE WEST ON THE RAnRoAD.-Illinois is
beginning to legislate against the Eastern rail-

The end viii be, and will have to be, general

and the postal service. The first skirmish in
Congress on telegraphs does not end the fight.

THE PROPOSED STATUE OF GENERAL GRANT
We see that few sycophantic ofice-hunters
are desirous of propitiating the powers that be
by getting the public to erect statue of
Grant, proposed to be cast from the guns cap
tured by him during the war. We have no
doubt that Grant is thoroughly disgusted with
the effort He is far too sensible man to
receive i other than as an insult. He GER
tainly will not show himself less sensible on
this point than that brave old soldier, General
Thomas, who refused such adulation in his
own department. 1t is far better to wait until
the administration Of the President elect is fin
ished before talking of statues; far better still
to wait until death renders it impossible for a
man to do anything to stain his record before
his virtues are held up in statue as model
for the ambition of coming generations.
