All the indications are that economy
will be q cardinal principal Ia the poll
cy of the coming administration. Gea.
Grant appears 10 be setting his face as
flint against the various schemes to de-
,plete the public treasury in the interest
of SPECTATORS and brOken-down poll
ticiane. s
8 In anticipation of the co ming policy
there lie just now 8 rush at Washington
to secure subsidies for all manner of
schemes, principally of railroads in the
West and South. These. schemers know
that they must get their projects through
Congress and signed by the President
before the. 4th of March, or they will
not be likely to succeed. .sef. t.gs-.
Railroads, and particularly those
opening up communication with the
Pacific, are of incaictilable importance
to the country, but il does not follow
that even for the ends aimed at I'm these
the public lands should be squandered
and the bonds OF the Government given
in the interest of parties working not
for the general good, but for the oppor-
tunity Of getting their hands into the
pulic treasury. Fl.,,,
1t is time there SHOULD be pause in
such proceedings. Public feeling is
aroused ON the subject, and is strongly
opposed to any further waste of the
public lands or treasure upon private
interests or corporate mOnopOlies. And
the President elect may confidently re-
~ on the support OF the people in ali
his efforts to guard against useless or
unwise expenditures, ct least until the
finances of the country are in better
state.- United PreSby terian. -

chronic difficulties of courts and juries.
II is not every judge, however, who eau
balance its uncertainties as mathemat-
ically as NJ. Barton Perrot. '.Gentle-
men OF the jury" this judge is reported
to have said, in summing up evidence in
certain case, there are fifteen witness
yes who swear that the watercotlrse used
to flow in ditch OH the north side of
the hedge; on the other hand, gentle
men, there are nine witnesses who sw ear
that The WatercouFse used to flow on the
south side of the hedge. Now, gentle
men, If you subtract nine from fifteenl
there remain six witnesses wholly un-
contradicted and recommend you to
give your verdict for the party, who
called those six witnesses. sffE} 80
