BE of Good Cheer.

A man who acquires habit of
giving way to depression is on the
road to ruin. When troubles upon
him, instead of rousing his ener-
gfes to combat it, he weakens, and
his faculties grow dull, and his
judgment becomes obscured, and
he sinks in the slough of despair.
And if anybody pulls him out by
main force, and places him safe on
solid ground, he stands there de-
jected and discouraged, and is
pretty sure to waste the means Of
help which have been given him.
How different it is with the man
who takes a CHEEKY view of life,
even at its worst, ana faces every
i'll with unyielding pluck. He may
be swept away by an overwhelm-
ing tide of misfortune, but he
bravely struggles for the shore, and
is ever ready to make the most Of
the help which may be given him.

formed this Brooklyn babbler that the
canon Of revelation was closed then
Where and by whom, according to him,
was the last miracle wrought What por-
ton of the Scriptures contains the prophecy
that miracles should cease in that era
When he has answered any one of these
questions it will be quite time enough to
bring forward the facts of authentic history
to prove an unbroken line of events or de-
viations from the known laws of nature
since that time. Oh, no it is this emascu-
lation of faith by certain ministers their
terrible belittling of the power of God !;
their sickening assumption of knowledge
concerning His attributes their familiarity
in using His name their lack of apprecia-
ton of His infinite power that is doing
much harm; and it is such talk as Mr..
Bulkely's about faith cures, miracles and
his mountebank experiences which strikes
the ordinarily well-disposed layman as be-
ing little short of blasphemy. As to Mr..
Platt's particular case, we know nothing of
it beyond his statement, but if We were a
minister we should prefer to believe that
the prayer of faith had been heard and an
swered, rather than to make labored at
tempt to falsify history, and to cover the
oracles of Eternal Wisdom with the ribald
nonsense of infidel blackguardism. Let
the pulpit be filled with such ministers as
Mr.. Bulkely, and in less than ten years the
Christian religion would become a myth.
We should not even have a respectable
heather doctrine left.

TIE CONTEST IN MARYLAND.

As a rule we are opposed to coalitions
with third parties. In national politics il
is always wrong. If your party is right,
let it adhere strictly and earnestly to its
principles, and they will surely triumph in
the end. Compromises with evil seldom
yield good fruit, but q reasonable charity
for sincere differences Of opinion as to the
best methods of reaching common desira-
BILE result is always commendable. In the
latter case there is no sacrifice of principle.
The compromise is upon the surest way in
which to attain q certain end. The Repub.
licans of Maryland have just made such a
compromise with the Reform Democrats oil
that State. They both alike demand re-
form in the State and municipal govern
ment, and are alike aware of their inability
to effect it separately or individually. But
believing that they might, by union Of
forces, succeed in electiDg pure men to the
city councils and State Legislature, they
have coalesced to the extent of naming
common Reform tickets for municipal and
State officers.
For attempting this reform in this man.
ner these Republicans, Democrats and
merchants are stigmatized as Potato Bugs
by the Democratic press, and derided in
every possible manner. The present gov
erning cliques.in Baltimore and Annapolis
have been In power ever since the war.

affect to believe the worst that may be said of
him. He may have been born among US, and
we may have known his lifelong record of
unblemished honor; as, for instance, Assistant
Secretary Cowen, whom we all remember as
discharging most admirably The intricate du-
ties of adjutant general of Ohio during the
war; or Secretary Delano, honored for years
upon years in the councils of our State. Shall
we forget all that the moment some hired de-
tractor, or disappointed old office-seeker, or
gullible professor on his travels, raises a news
paper cry of corruption ~ Thus, by our
own gratuitous folly, we could in time 1isin-
tegrate the noblest political party on which
the sun has shown since the days of HamPden
and Russell. Verify, we Republicans might
learn something from our Democratic friends
on that score. A party that, with its thousand
meannesses, does, nevertheless, stand by its
public men, living or dead I; party that can
so tenderly cherish, and bear to so gorgeous
funeral, the fossil remains of William Allen,
can certainly teach us q lesson of manly jus
tice towards the living, working, loyal hearted
men who are shouldering, day after day, the
gigantic burden of governmental affairs at

THE correspondent of the New York
Tribune who accompanied the Red Cloud
investigation commission enjoyed the hos
FATALITIES of the commissioners to the extent
of sharing their tents and mess. He was
duly grateful for this, and subsequently,
when accused OF having garbled the testi-
mony taken in his presence regarding the
Marsh ISLANDERS, he was manly enough to
exculpate himself from the charge of vio-
lating the decent obligations of hospitality
by explaining that his reports were altered
after they were received in the Tribune
Office to suit the policy of the editor of that
paper. We make this charge distinctly
and advisedly, knowing that it involves a
reflection upon the professional honor of
Whitelaw Reid, the editor in question, and
knowing at the same time that We are abun-
dainty able to prove it.

racy las interviewed with legal subter-
fugts to tirwart his Efforts. He deserves
and will receive the sympathy of every loyal
man in the country, nevertheless, and now
that lie has responded to the general demand
that he shall act for himself unaidcd by
the General Government, it is to be hoped
that his critics will give him credit for it.
Meanwhile it is his duty to go forward and
muster in the cOlored militia without regard
to the wishes or prejudices Of his political
opponents. The injunction against the use
of the meagre appropriation for the support
of the militia will not affect the Democratic
company already mustered in, because its
members will be able, willing and anxious
TO support themselves; but this fact should
not be allowed to interfere with the enroll
ment and vigorous use of the colorei com
panieS.

A GREAT many bad things, although
true, have been said about Pershing, the
Democratic candidate for Governor in
Pennsylvania, but the worst, also true, is
that he was nominated at the suggestion of
Aleck Mcclure, of the Philadelphia Times
Cowardly Copperhead as he was during the
war, and railroad lobbyist, talking one way
in the Legislature and taking a bride to
vote the other, as he has been proved to be,
this is the disgraceful Gaping of a disrepu-
table climax. Some of the more reputable
Democrats are so thoroughly ashamed of it
that they are trying hard to disprove it.
Their efforts are in vain, however, and the
record stands against them. But the most
disgraceful feature of the affair is developed
by the fact that Mcclure pretends to have
been, and possibly was, the personal friend
of President Lincoln at the time Pershing
voted to censure him for issuing the Eman-
cipation Proclamation. This fact serves
to illustrate the utter departure from prin-
ciple and consistency, as well as the disre-
gard of reputation required of a man when
he stoops to become an Independent editor
of the Detective Press.

THE St. Louis Globe Democrat thinks
the closing declaration of Gov. Ames in his
recent dispatch to Attorney General Pierre
pont: "I am powerless to protect them
the people of Mississippi-may not be a
"good reason for Grants stepping in, but
"to good many people it will read like a
"good reason for Ames' stepping out"
This kind of reasoning is much like the
Dutchman's who fogged his boy for say
ing damn" and then because he imagined
the boy thought damn" When Gov.
Ames first asked for aid he was snubbed
because it was said he failed to make out q
case; and now that he has made out one by
showing his inability to proceed with a
lawful administration of affairs without aid.
he is snubbed again. The truth is that
public sentiment regarding this Mississippi
affair was properly and accurately de-
scribed by President Grant when he said,

Gov. AMEs has begun to muster in the
State militia. But at the outset the White
Liners objected to the mastering in of col
ored militia companies, and Gen. George,
chairman of the Democratic State Central
Committee, in behalf of certain revolution
airy petitioners, who are determined to pre-
vent the registration of colOred voters, ap-
pears as attorney to procure an injunction
against the use of State funds for their
equipment Thus legal quibbles are taken
advantage of to aid the designs of the riot
ers, and now We may expect to hear the
assertion that the State courts have been
called upon to decide whether condition
of instruction exists or not. Meanwhile
the State is being invaded by illegal armed
bodies from Louisiana.

In AN editorial exposing the fact that

to the circumstance that "bY the first act
(which President Grant signed in 1869,
the faith and honor of the country are
"pledged to the payment in gold" of its
