We frequently have painful occasion to re-.
gret that Senators Davis and Salisbury VIII
persist in fancying that they represent people
and parties as they existed before the late
flood in this country. 1t is not surprising
therefore, to find them voting on the oregon
Railroad bill against the land grant provision
with Senator Casserly, whose opposition was
based on the singular idea that the puplc
lands were a national trust, not to be legis-
lated away for the benefit of the present gem
Grafton, but preserved in all their unproduc-
tiveness for the millions yet to come. IL Is
encouraging to know that this and like argu-
ments induced only the three members named
to vote against the grant; and that the Dill
finally passed.

We were premature with both plaudits and
apologies, for the Hon. Carrot Davis is going
to affiict us after all. His threat of a speech
did indeed destroy his selected opportunity by
frightening the Senate into an immediate vote
on the Mississippi bill, but Mr.. Davis will have
none of the consequent Revels, and gives us
timely warning that he intends to speak his
mind about it, even if he is expelled the next
day. Let the honorable Senator from Ken
lucky proceed. We are nerved to bear the
infection by remembering that, as his speech
will ignore the events of the last decade, it
may have some interest as a political an

to our great satisfaction, at last aroused them
selves, and they will probably, if they do their
best, make clean work of the three parties

Reform) in the field against them. Gov. Har-
riman's speech at Concord or the 10th was an
excellent one. To the Temperance men. he
poipted out the Temperance platform Of the
Republicans To the Labor-Reformers, he
showed that the Republican party, by the very
terms of its existence, was the natural cham
pion of oppressed and unrewarded labor. IL
should be understood that the fight in New
Hampshire is not SO quadrangular as it seems
TO be. Those of the Democrats who have
risen from the sepulcher to take part in tho
contest are grinning horrible CHASTITY smile
at the Labor Reform party.

Mr.. +. VI. Archibald, so long British Consul
at this port is not well pleased with our Pro.
tectve Tariff, believing that more British
wares and fabrics could be sold here, and at
better prices, if it were cut down TO a low
figure. We judge him mistaken in this; and
we do not guess but speak from experience.
We had Tariff after Mr.. AS own heart in
1912 but the overthrow Of Protection had 40
deranged and paralyzcd our industry that
we were unable TO buy so many goods
as we had bought years before under stiff Pro-
tectvc duties: hence, our British friends vera
not able to sell us so much at low duties az
they had done at higher. We believe that thi,
experience would repeat itself after little If
Mr.. Archibald and his clients had the making
of our Tariff But this is a point on which Mr..
A. has the same right to his opinion that We
have to ours.
Yet we submit that if Mr.. Archibald has
written home, as is reported by telegraph. IN
document intended for the public, that The
" West is dissatisfied with the Tariff, but.
curing to the poUertW lobby Of Che Eastern
manufacturers, it is unable to work a reform
" consequently the shipping, the agricultural.
land all the other interests Of the country, are
" sacrificed, he has been guilty Of an imper-
Thence which is a grave indiScrction. He
must not forget that this country Is no longer
British dependency, and that foreign agents
officially stationed among us are required, by a
decent regard for the interests they represent,
to keep civil tongues in their heads. The
American People propose to run their own
Government; and such imputations az the
above from foreign consuls stationed here are
offensive and insulting

Why is it that living is so high in this city

There are three bills now before Congress on
the subject of Soldiers Pensions but each ap
pears to be defective in one or two important
particulars. The bill Of Mr.. Benjamin retains
the machinery of Pension Agents and quarterly
payments; that of Mr.. Crebs substitutes the
Post Office for the Agents, but would still pay
the pensioners every three months; Mr.. Law
rence's bill, while retaining the quarterly pay
ments, proposes to give the Secretary OF the
Interior power to appoint as pension agents
any collector or assessor of internal revenue,
postmaster or other Government officer, or
National Bank. What is now wanted is bill
embOdying the practical points in the whole
three, less complex in its details, and providing
in addition that the pensions should be paid
at least every two months. The probability
of such bill passing would be great, especially
if at the meeting of the soldiers friends to-
night in the Cooper Institute the movement
for the more frequent and economical payment
of pensions were heartily Endorsed.
