PRESIDENT GRANT.-As n financier Grant has
proved a success. When first elected President
he was comparatively poor man, aud now he
is millionaire with doubled salary. The mon
ey kings took advantage of his reticence and mod
esty, and thrust money. houses, farms, horses
carriages and dogs upon him; for fear of giving
otfense he took them all, and like the common
sign of a cigar store stands with his hand reach.
ing out for more. He has always favored the
rich and oppressed the poor, and when he goes
out of office he will have the respect of none-for
even those he has been a tool for will despise
him. His third term ought to be one of retribu-
tive justice-smilar to that Of Boss Tweeds.

~ The BrorH County Adrocdfe, is the name of
patent outside paper, with the inside printed
OH the old White Cloud Leader material, which
has just made its appearance at Hiawatha. We
do not believe there is a demand for another pa
per at Hiawatha-or there need not have been,
had the proprietor Of the Dispatch made his paper
what Brown County was entitled to, in matter
and mechanical appearance. The Aduocdfe pro-
fesses to be Granger-thinks the people of Kan
sas are hungry for reform-and is edited by Ed
win Abner Davis. The editor is first class dead
beat, and blne-ribbon literary plagiarist-and
the worst Of it is, that he displays wretchedly
bad taste in his stealiHgs. We do not believe the
Grangers or the people of Brown County will
long find use for him. That is the way it looks
from our standpoint If he thinks our opinion
is erroneous, we refer him, for particulars, to
small bills.

~ bill designed to muzzle the press, and
deter it from exposing corruption at Washington,
passed the United States Senate, near the close
of the session. Although Jones has not publish
ed any memorandum upon the subject, we pre-
sumo the President would have signed the bill
but the House squelched it, as it has more than
one of the Senates infamies, during the past ses-
sion. When men are elected to the Senate, they
get far above and independent of the people
but the Representatives, being elected for only
two years, find their profit in keeping sharp eye
to the public interests. 1t will be well to bear
in mind that Senators Iugalls and Harvey both
voted for the gag.

II Immediately after the adjournment of
Congress, Postmaster-General Cresswel sent in
his resignation to the President, which was ac-
cepted, and Eugene Hale, of Maine, appointed to
the position. Mr.. Cresswell was able and
faithful officer; but it was mainly through his
persistent efforts that tax was put upon the cir
culation of country papers and newspaper ex-
changes 1t is somewhat mystery why he kept
silent on the subject until Congress adjourned,
aud no action could be taken upon the confirma-
tion of his successor-especially as he says that
he had long since determined upon the step.
Something not yet revealed is behind this.

WHAT Boss TWEED MIGHT SEE.-If the con-
victs vision took a broader scope he might see,
perhaps, the scenes in Washington, where Shep-
herd, later boss of fuller growth-every whit as
corrupt as his prototype, and far more sordid and
selish-still basks in the sunshine of federal ia
vor. He might see this unpunished rascal junke-
ting at Cape May with the President of the Uni
ted States He might see Tremaine, who assisted
(for retainer of SIS 000) at his conviction, how
ling hoarse appeal in the house of representa-
tives in behalf of the degraded and debauched
Dnrrell of Louisiana, and be might learn how

1t turns out that the failure of the West and
South to have the amount of currency that they
should, is not, as the veto message implies; their
fault. The four millions referred to has been ap-
piled for, but the system of Precedence followed
by the Comptroller prevents the prompt distri-
button of the currency. 1t, and many millions
besides, have been applied for. The Comptroller
of the currency, however, claims that under the
law that regulates the Redistribution of the cur
rency, it will take more than two years to tho
roughly re-distribute the currency of the coun-
try. lie proposes a new law that will admit of
it being done in sixty days.

~ The Congressional Record of June Goth, con
tains the speech of Col. Phillips, of Kansas, on
the currency question. 1t is brief, able, and to
the point. The Colonel's well-known historical
knowledge was well displayed here. He showed
that, within less than two hundred years past,
gold and silver have been deprecated in far
greater degree than national bank notes ever
were, and that greenbacks, in this particular,
are as safe a currency, and as good a standard of
value, as gold and silver. He also showed that
our greatest prosperity was during the period of
the greatest imitation of the currency. He thinks
it is the duty of the representatives of the peo-
pie to scourge the New York money-changers
from the temple.
