the Times that sit Is calculated to strengthen
the confidence of the people Of all classes in
his possession of the qualities most essential
to the head OF a national administration"
the World sees In il a bid for third term.
The Philadelphia Press thinks President
Grants penultimate annual message recalls
forcibly the Farewell Address of General
Washington" the Philadelphia Times says:
"The message is manly, sincere, and states
mahlike in most respects, with a considera-
bic vein of pitiable third term demagogism
on schools and sectarianism."
They are still wrangling in the New York
papers as to how Tweed escaped. There is
really no mystery about 1t. When he founi
the courts were in earnest in sending him to
the penitentiary, he did as the chap did in
the storm at sea when he found the ship was
going down; he just put on his hat and
walked ashore. There has never been a time
since Tweed was convicted that he has not
been perfectly master of his movements, and
The fact that he has not stepped out sooner,
is explained by his hope that he should sue
coed, by sharp practice, in getting relieved
OF any legal penalties.

A HINT.-We suppose there are several
members who would not object to earn
national fame and the public gratitude If the
way was pointed out TO them. Well, the
man who first succeeds in procuring the re-
peal of the present blundering and bur
densome postage rates Oh printed matter and
newspapers will win glory enough To make
himself immensely respected in his own
family circle, and quite likely put him on
the track for the Presidency.
THE MESSAGE.-ThOse who hold that our
silent President keeps up a line of thinking
that enables him to strike in shrewdly with
the drift of public opinion when he makes a
public utterance will Iroba bic feel con-
frmed in that view by his last message. II
will be generally recognized, we think, as a
state paper, OF marked ability, and stroke
OF shrewd policy in behalf Of the interests of
the republican party.
The late William b. Astor could not fiad
1t In his heart TO give more than $4,000 in
aid of charitable objects in New YORK. Con-
sidering that his fortune was estimated all
the way for $4,000 900 to 500 900 coo, some
of the New York papers naturally think
$4,000 rather small percentage.
The Smith family is in luck. After being
