1t looks now as if all the Republican pap
ers of Kansas would declare for Blaine in
few weeks. Suppose all other candidates
withdraw and make it unanimous for the man
from Maine.-St, Joseph (Mo.) Herald.
Congressman Tufts of Iowa, who sits be-
tween Blaine and Bill King, writes to friend
that he hopes to ''absorb a little statesman
ship from one and little subsidy from the
other.''
The Georgia house of representatives has
passed the constitutional convention bill,
which Toombs advocated, by vote of III
yeas TO 27 nays. 1t provides for 1914 delegates,
to be chosen in January, 1877, and does not
permit the people to determine whether or
not the convention shall be held.
William Welch Of Wisconsin has The idea.
He would give aman one vote at twenty one,
two votes at forty-two, three votes at sixty
three, and so on, because man knows more
as he grows older. 1t looks we'll, but it's a
elect himself Observation-Disclosures Press.
There are lessons also for the churches in
this sad (Winslow) affair. Do we not admit
men to the ministry on too easy terms? The
harvest is great and the laborers are few; and
we are tempted to hail to the white field
those of whose thorough devotion to Christ
we may entertain secret doubt. Specially
may we be tempted thus if the applicant pos
sesses culture and address.-Boston Watch
man.
The disturbance in the viscera of the De-
mocracy is becoming painful. At the con-
gressional caucus, Tuesday evening, Harden
berg of New Jersey gave notice that he
should instantly withdraw if Landers's un-
limited initiation program was pressed to
vote. 1.-The rag-money men," said Mr.. Har-
denberg, "are digging the grave OF the Demo.
cratic party" There is sometimes good
deal OF sense in those Jerseymen.-Sprang-
field Republican.
Ex-senator R. NJ. T. Hunter, of Virginia,
has adopted the rag-baby. He writes to the
Louisville Courier Journal giving his views
on the financial question, explaining what he
considers the "defects" of specie currency
opposing the resumption of specie payments
and advocating the issue of government
bond exchangeable at par with legal tender
notes, and the gradual substitution of legal
tender notes for the national bank currency.
He surpasses some of the widest intationists
by suggesting a constitutional amendment
giving Congress either a power to issue an
unlimited amount of legal tender notes, or
power in proportion to the population of the
country at the last census before the issue,"

"If fMathilde were not such n fool,, said

"IfMathilde were not such a fool.o said
the jolly little Madame de Montresson, of her
only daughter, 'she would be adorable"
The mot of the mother was rather heartless
than witty, seeing that the young lady's fol-
ly consisted in her virtue, and yet one is
tempted to apply her saying to the Democrat
ic party. There never was an organization in
spred by more sincere purpose, composed of
more selfsacrifcing people, or led by men of
better sort, considered personally. Ifit
only had few political intuitions, it would be
adorable. ."-Louisuile Courier-JouTndL
Of course, it will be objected by perverse
people that if the West Point professors are
paid only the wages of working men, they
will resign, and we shall be unable TO find
competent men to take their places. This is
all nonsense. If they wish to resign let them
do so. There are thousands of Democrats
ready to take their places. 1t is time that in
Vldlous distinctions between educated men
and uneducated Democrats should be put
aside. The Democratic working man has as
good right to be a West Point professor as
any other man. IF the government pretends
that it cannot supply West Point with pro-
fessors at S0 per week, let application be
made to Mr. John Kelly, AID he will prompt
ly furnish any quantity of hard listed patriots
to fill the vacant places.-N. Y. Times.
The Cincinnati Gazette's Washington cor.
respondent says the difficulty with the Demo-
Gratis in carrying out their investigation pro-
gramme is that they find the work already
done by the Republicans themselves. although
the process was always opposed by certain,
fearful ''limber-backed BRETHREN" He adds:
''What if credit mobilier had been left for the
present house to expose, or Pacific Mail, or
the district ring? or if after the house had
whitewashed the freedman's bureau ring, the
officers of the war department had not laid it
bare? or what if Secretary Bristow had left
the whisky ring to Democratic care, or toler-
ated Irregularities in his department until the
Democrats began to bring them to light and
compel their correction? The timber backs
see it all now and they are as happy as mud
turtles on sunny log, and about as worthless
as party managers"
One of Gov. Tilden's bitterest opponents
in the South is the Richmond Dispatch. 1t
seems to have no favorite for the Presidency,
and apparently will be satisfied with any one
except the New York Governor. Here are
some of its reasons: ''In Tilden's case it is a
matter for regret on his own account that he
should hail from New York. He would bet
ter hail from some other state. The Demo-
cratic party has sustained already two de-
feats with candidates from New York, and it
is absolutely impossible that they could be
triumphant upon third trial with horse
from the same stable. The people would not
permit anything of the kind. The belief
that it is impossible would make it so. Be-
sides, Mr.. Tiden has no remarkable traits of
character, no fame at all, and no irrepressi-
BILE vim and adroitness that could rush him

In its business review the Nation says: !:
''The week has been uneventful in the finan-
cial world. As was expected, the Bank of
England reduced its discount rate to per
cent, but without effect on the discount rate
of other banking institutions in London,
which continued 81 per cent, and without
important effect on the London market for Sc
curities. Here the tendency of loans to lower
rates was arrested by an enlarged demand for
money from the Stock Exchange, where
there was rampant speculations in shares,
which eliminated, however, before the close
of the week. The New York banks are each
week becoming stronger il reserve, and now
have surplus reserve of SIS, 100000, against
S15,994,000 at the corresponding tine last
year. These banks chiefly have borne the
contraction of Treasury-note circulation dur
ing the year, and have consequently about
100000 less of this kind of currency than a
year ago. Gold and sterling exchange have
advanced slightly during the week by reason
of the importation of United States bonds
from London and the German markets, where
prices, because of the unusually large de-
mand for bonds from banks, insurance and
trust companies here, continue much below
this market. The final settlement between
the Rothschild Syndicate and the United
States Treasury takes place on the 18th ms
tant. and bankers calculate that it will result
in diminution of the stock of gold in this
market. The mercantile situation calls for
no special comment. The number of failures
occurring is not alarming, aud although there
is not the utmost confidence in what consti.
tutes the wholesale grocery trade, there is in
dry goods degree of confidence not witnessed
for the past two years. The movement of
Western staples has been somewhat checked
by the unreasonable weather, which has
made it impossible to haul grain over the dirt
roads to the railroads. Western railroad re-
ceipts have therefore been uufavorably af
fected in important sections. The gold price
OF 500 greenbacks during the week has
ranged between $SS 80 and SO 50,

THE'bill to provide for payment of the Feb
ruary interest on the 3-65 District bonds, as
amended before passage, guards against fur
tber lavish expenditures. AS it now stands
it puts summary end to the increase OF the
District debt, and tells the commissioners
that their operations must henceforth be con-
fined within the limits of the income from
the District taxes and the appropriations
made by Congress. These rigid restrictions,
and the emphatic terms in which they are
expressed, are the result of strong conviction
on the part of many senators that the Sbep-
herd influence is still potent in the manage.
ment of the affairs of the District. The ag-
gregate amount of the 365 bonds is limited
to 100000, but there are those who sus-
pect that the total will he found to exceed
that sum already.

The admission of Mr. Singleton of Missis-
slppl on the floor of the House Thursday
that the Southern representatives had three
schemes in mind, the Southern Pacific rail-
road, the Mississippi levees, and the refund
ing of the cotton tax, which they should at
tempt to pass, will prove very uncomfortable
for those Democratic leaders and journals
who are prating of economy.

SECRETARY BELKNAP has issued orders
stopping all work on the building at the Cen
tennial grounds, Philadelphia, intended for
the use of the West Point cadets during the
Centennial celebration. He says that If the
Military Academy Appropriation bill passed
by the House of Representatives passes the
Senate and becomes law in its present
shape, it will be impossible to send the West
Point cadets to the Centennial at all, and
they will remain at the Academy.

In New York the authorities are investi-
eating crooked milk, and the dealers in the
watered fluid are pulled up before the courts
and fined heavily. The World fears the re-

say TO his milk ''Thou shalt be impoverished
