Belittling the Financial Issue.

Judge Church and Mr.. Fernando Wood, of
this State, agree with Senators Thurman and
Morton in declaring the financial question of
minor consequence. But next to the great
question of honesty upon which both par
ties will make equally loud professions), and
after the question of the third term, it is
really the most important of our political
issues. Mr.. Mortons attempt to belittle it is
not surprising, considering that he is Pres
idential candidate with very bad record on
that subject. On that issue he could have
no hope of a nomination, and General Grant
or some other hard money republican would
carry off the prize. The democrats depre-
cate the financial issue rather for party than
for personal reasons 1t tends to division
and disruption. Even Chief Judge Church
has Thurmanized- He says he does not
think the Ohio democratic platform
is infationist. II admit that the
plank you allude to was unfortunately
framed" is his mild expression He thinks
it of great importance to the democracy at
large and to their success in other States that
they carry Ohio, and deems the unfortunate
expressions in the platform of trivial conse-
quence Mr.. Wood, without affirming any
thing respecting the Ohio platform, says that
the financial issue is of no Importance
none whatever" Further on in the inter
view he says, II do not think it worthy of q
thought whether hard or soft yellow or
green, on financial questions is made Presi-
dent" Such declarations by prominent
democrats cannot be understood otherwise
than as confessions that the party is so full of
dissent on this great subject that it could not
work in harmony if the financial issue were
made prominent. What is to become of
''hard money, free trade and home rule" as
the great defftieeerati0 issues? Even G9yernog
Tilden had not word about TINS triad OF
principles or any one of them in his recent
speeches. Are they to be consigned to 'the
tomb of all the CapuIets?"

RETURN OF THE VIcToRs The members
of the American team are now on their
way home. When the good ship that
bears them to this coast arrives they
will be welcomed by the whole nation.
The knights Grant we sent forth come back
crowned with lanrels, and the American
name is greater and more honored because of
the victories they have won-peaceful VIC
tories, it is true, but closely allied to war.
The world has leagned that busy Americans
in the hustle and struggle Of life have not
lost the steadiness Of nertNe, the quickness Oh
eye, which were worth to our fathers the
splendid heritage of freedom wsS inherit. AT
time when great nations in Europe counted
their battalions by the thousand ana piaceu
their faith moro in rifles than in JUstlce'
truth or honesty i, was well that some nall
dozen American freemen should have shown

HALF SEAS OvER.-Captain Webb, the re-
markable English swimmer, has failed in his
attempt to swim the English Channel from
Dover to Calais, and was compelled to give
up by rough water when half way over But
even Boyton in his india rubber apparatus
failed in his first attempt to cross the Chan
mel, and similar mishap is therefore, no
discredit to naked swimmer, and as Boyton
tried it again so probably will Webb. 1t
may be remembered that this gallant sailor
has already swan the distance of twenty
miles without leaving the water, both in the
Thames and at sea. But the distance across
the Channel is twenty ight miles, and as it is
the last ounce that overloads the camel so
this final bit Of eight miles may make
the feat too great for human endurance
Although the Channel is sometimes as smooth
as a lake it is not often so, and even when so
it is doubtful if it ever remains in that
placid condition for the period of fourteen
hours, or long enough for Webb to swim
over. Thus he will probably never succeed
if smooth water is a necessary condition OF

The GEoaRAPmcAL EXHIBITION IN PARIS
By special correspondence from Paris we
have complete and most interesting account
of the assemblage and proceedings of the Ge-
oeraphical Exhibition Congress which has
Just been closed in the Tuileries. The event
was worthy of the age in which we live. The
splendors of the ancient monarchies were re-
called to the eyes of the people alongside of
the trophies of the peaceful agencies by
which the miseries and ruin, which were
produced by the royalist barbarisms, have
been gradually effaced The United. States
of America represented the Genius of Peace
in quiet and unostentatious, and, we may
hope, effective manner.

of the refusal Of Congress TO grant an
extension of the sewing machine patent

this will not come about for a couple Of
years, when other patents expire. It is
in evidence that the cost Of the average
sewing machine is but twelve dollars,
aud that small manufacturers are re-

combination as much as forty dollars on
each machine manufactured 1t is also
curious that a sewing machine can be
