PRINCIPLES AND MEN.-The phrase "prin-
cples not men" is one of those glittering gen.
eralities which dazzles only TO bewilder ana
to bind. In its every statement 1t Involves
an absurdity. For it ignores this most imror-
ta1t truth that principles amount TO nothing
without men to give them an honest intelli-
gent applicatlon. and to make them efficient
Principles without men are as worthless as
men without principles. The flagralt politi-
cal heresy involved in theonesided phrase
"principles not men, consistsin ignoring the
fact that representative oil the people needs
to be something more than a tool. On the
contrary if there is one thing more than an
other that we need in politics it is men, and
the propensity TO ignore the higher qualities of
manhood in the idolarous worship of ab-
stractions. has had an mcalculable influence
in making politics the theatre of demagogu-
ism and corruption. 1t was not this system
that gave The country its Hamiltons and jeff
eisons. Not that the choice of some particu-
lar man is necessarily indispensable. But the
selection oi rticular kind of man is of the
utmost importal ce. Ii Ne would purify our
politics true u.anhood must be honored with
all the consi Grafton to which its value enti-
ties it. lt"principes not men" has been the
watchword OF the Republican party it is high
time that we take step forward and change
it to 'principes and men."
THE NATIONS ENGAGED in the war al
ready begin 10 experience financial embar-
easements. Prussia has been unable to float
loan OF $90,000,000 American money, and
this though her debt is about $20O,00OOO
France with her larger debt has already sus-
pended specie payments, and the issues OF
paper currency present and prospective have
even now rai1ed the premium on coin to ten
per cent. Should the war be greatly length.
ened the nations involved will unquestionably
have to resort to the expedient which we
tried in suppressing the rebelion-eXtensve
issues Of paper currency with all their atten-
dant evils. Financial considerations will
therefore operate powerfully in favor of an
early peace, and of localizing the war as much
as possible while il lasts.

Eighth Ward Republicans.

The following resolutions were adopted
Tuesday evening by the Eighth Ward Re-
publican Club:
WHEREAS. Certain parties undertake to
divide the Republican ranks by organizing
a third party by the name OF Reform Re-
publicans. which Is antagonistic to the prln-
ciples of the Eighth Ward Republican club,
therefore.
Rtsolre6. That the parties vino are now
members of the Eighth Ward Club. and
who are trying by so-calIed Reform
partv'club 10 dl vide us in the coming cam
paign. be expelled from the roll OF this
club and shall have no right TO participate
in anv of its preliminary elections.
ReS0lred, That the attempt made by the
clique OF boilers in this city and State, call
ing themselves the Equal Rights Assocla-
ton through their committee, to palm OFT
on the Christian Association their fraudu-
lent theory of native Americanism. Is trea-
son against the rights of citizens OF the
United States inasmuch as it denies them
equal rights and privileges i'll all the States.
Resolced That we condemn all attempts
made TO ALLEVIATE one section OF our citizens
from another, and frown down every effort
made to disrupt the Republican party i'll
the Eighth Ward.
Mr. Roxborough ably addressed the meet
ing on the political topics OF the day, ana
was followed by Professor Parker, who was
eloquent on the past, present and future,
and was often interrupted by applause.
The meeting then adjourned TIL next
Tuesday evening.

There was a gathering Tuesday evening
that did honor. not only to those indetati-
gable Republicans Of she Fourth District
but gave credit to the numerous Democrats
Of old standing who have become convinced
of the superior government and admlnlstra-
ton of the Republican party. and VINO are
prompted to come out freely and bluntly
and acknowledge their adherence to pro
gress and good management.
This was the Keller Market Club, whose
president is our old and well known fellow
citizen, Mr.. Otto.
The meeting was large one, considering
that the IlntavoIable weather kept many at

After the president had taken his seat
and the business OF the meeting was entered
upon. Mr.. otto and Colonel Leon Won lin
ken were by reclamation elected delegates
to the Central Republican German Club,
which holds its Heetlng IL Mechanics Hail
every Monday night.
Ex-Recorder John P. Becker was called
unon to address the meeting. which he did
in a most touching and elaborate style.
Even his illusions and citations OF the Scrip
