social no less than the political life of
America. Brains are indispensable to TINS
business, and hence, / repeat that 1t is
regretful feature of the situation, to note
the absence of any higher purpose at this
time than that which relates to bread ana
butter.
After speaking of the spirit of the
partially victorious Democracy as fores
sfiad6wed by the rejection of such
men as Senator Schurz, OF Missouri,
he winds up with this significant par
agraph:
They say that in certain parts of Texas,
where the fora is most gorgeous ana over
flowing, there is never bank OF movers
that NAV not conceal q tarantula. In New
York, Pennsylvania and Missouri the no
raj displays this year fairly rival those IN
Texas. But what shall they pront Us II, as
the spring sun shines upon them, we see IN
each the sleek figure of political reptlie,
differing only from those from which the
better sense of the country recoss IN the
label with which it is ticketed?
It is possible that Watterson, in pen
ming these thoughtful paragraphs
will lay himself open to criticism from
his Democratic contemporaries, and we
NAV again hear that he has been
writing between his "sherry and
champaign s.-fRhe isaoss si'~S - d 49,

THE FINANCE BILL adopted by the
Republican Senate caucus is 3 fair
measure that will probably become
law. On this subject few men agree as
to the details Of the law that the coun-
try needs. 1t is evident, from the re-
ports now reaching us from the East,
that there is more confidence and ac-
tivity in business circles than there has
been for over q year. The proposed
bill fires q day for specie payments, and
this, it seems to us, is its best feature.
Men will differ as to whether that day
should be one, three, five or ten years
of, but the fact that some Jired policy
Is decided upon is essential and this
the proposed bill seems to do. The
best thing to be done now, is to pass
this bill SO soon as it is evident that 1t
Is the best bill the two Houses can har-
monize upon. The country needs to
know soon what the financial policy
Of the Republican party is, and the
sooner that policy is established, by
appropriate legislation, the better fol-
the country and the party.

WHAT A DEMOCRATIC E
THINKS.
EDITOR

Henry Watterson. the versatile
editorial writer of the CouTier-sJottT-
nal, also famous for the free and easy
character of certain editorial cores
pondenee from the French Metropo-
lis, has been In Washington short
time, taking observations of the po-
IItical horoscope. Tie recent Demo
cratic victories have been heralded as
the birth of q new and pre-eminently
virtnous policy, marked by superior
Intellectual strength, craftsmanship,
political sagacity, and honesty in the
management of our public offices.
The Democratic leaders have been
won't to denoninate their Republican
opponents as the bread and butter
BRIGADE and to represent their own
party rs too pure TO 60 into scram-
BILE, merely for the loaves and fishes.
Wattereon has been acting as an as
trolorer and fails to discover any sign
!. that augurs good for the future under
Democratic rule, and writes his hon
eat Judgment no doubt in strains of
mournful cadence. He says:
The one regretful circumstance which
has thus far Swallowed the Democratic re-
action is its failure, through all its achieve
ment. to add anything to. the intellectual
strength of the opposition; for, strange as
Won may think it, brains do count Tor
Something even in the national capital.
The outlook in this respect Is really DIS
conraging.
He says that the Republicans have
come to grief for several reasons, but
that the Democrats have been " adj
mitted on trial, merely" He adds:
The country says to them, I'VE l, now,
let US see Whist you can do" If honesty,
in the common sense of the term, were all
that is required, the demand could easily
be filed. But we shall presently see the
Republicans, chsstened by disaster, wing
with the Democrats in manifestations of
the same virtue. They have already thrown
many of their rogues overheard. More
will follow. After little while, We shall
not be able 10 proceed on charges of COR
ruption. On the contrary, we shall need a
policy of our own; and, If this IS TO work
we'll, and wear well, it must embrace, dis
tinctly and intelligeHtly, the many novel
problems which begin TO press upon the

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Cincinnati
