The Milwaukee Sentinel saws:

ne milwaukee SeDtlltel says.
If General Bristow is made of the
right material he has a splendid OPP
portuniiy to use it. Richardson ca
reer was not success. He can not
be accused of dishonesty, and may
make a good Judge on the bench of
the Court Of Claims; but he cultivated
laxitv on the part OF the Treasury
officials by an ignorance of their OPP
erations which is really refreshing.
Bristow is very different sort of a
man. He has already shown exccu-
tive ability, and enters upon his work
with a spirit and determination that
are already felt. We have reason TO
hope for good things from him.
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
After the war it was said by our
great fnanciers that if we could
strengthen the public credit so as to
lift the bonds to par with coin. the
currency would rise with them. This
was the main idea in the governing of
currency debt to coin debt. 1t was
the main principle of the Schenck
public credit bill. The country has
paid hundreds of millions in adding to
the principal of the debt, on this base
less theory, whose folly is now real
lied
We say to Congress that the coun-
try will be well content if it will let
the currency alone, and with the as
surance that there shall be no infa-
ton; but that if it enacts the funding
of greenbacks, it will be replaced by
another Congress; and that, to every
sober minded man. the contraction of
the greenbacks as fast as they would
be presented for payment, means
general bankruptcy, and that means
reputation, for when people are ruin
ed they place little sanctity on the
public obligations.
The Cleveland Herald says:
If the honest farmers who have
been beguiled into political combi-
nation, had their farms stocked with
broken down, old, toothless hacks.
they would go over their premises and
knock the miserable crow bats in the
head and scatter the bones for manure.
Now if the farmers party would do
the same towards the played out poll
teal dead beats that are running that
party, political carrion would strew
the field as thick as leaves in autumn
after gale of wind.
The Cleveland Herald, speaking of
the recent election in Cincinnati, in
which the nti-temperance question
decided the claims of candidate,
says:
The temperance element is strong
on moral influence, but very unreli-
able at the ballot box And the tenn
peranec people have had another les
son, which they will not heed, that
something more than talking or reso-
lutlons is necessary to secure good
men in Office The votes that go into
the ballot box do the business.
