"political skin game" on the innocent

While the Democracy is bowling its lungs
sore for a withdrawal of United States troops
from the South, it might be well to remind
them that more negroes have been murdered
in the past ten years in the South than white
men have been sacrificed to the merciless
butchery of the Indians in the West. The
former were slaughtered in civilized communi-
ties, while the latter died among a savage race.
1t is well to keep these things in mind.

A SENSIBLE RADICAL.

In connection with the Fifth Avenue
conference In Now York, the most sig
nificant incident was the letter of Frank
W. Bird, one Of the most distinguished
Republican leaders Of Massachusetts,
and an intimate associate and co-worker
with Sumner, Chase and Seward when
the party was founded. After stating
with great clearness the present posi-
ton Of fpolitical parties, Mr.. Bird comes
TO the conclusion that an attempt to re-
vive third party Is hopeless. He then
proceeds to give his reasons for assert
ing that reform within the Republican
party is impossible, and declares his
'proiound conviction that the worst
Democrat whose nomination at st.
Louis is possible is safer for the coun-
try than the best Republican whose
nomination is possible at Cincinnati
Though not expressed in words this
seems to have been the sentiment
which pervaded the Fifth Avenue con
ference. Mr.. Bird continues; "Thc
imperative, tho solemn need of
the country is change OF the ma
tional administration. A now set of
books must be opened at Washington.
Every department of Government from
the White House to the Custom House
must be purified and the accounts Of
10000 ollicc.holdes must be explained"
Mr.. Bird concludes his able letter
with the following paragraph
'ln that dark and troubled night
that Is upon us | see but one star OF
bope-the united Democratic party Of
the United States. Confidence, | am
aware, is y plant of slow growth. Dis

most effective partisan cry by the
worst, ! do not partake Of the views

Willing confidence that sixteen years OF
purgation and punishment have had
their effect in purifying the Democratic
party in, perhaps, as great degree as
sixteen years Of power have corrupted
and debased the Republican party"

GRANTIsM lLLusrRATED.--Since March
g. 1869, Grant has been absent from
Washington more than four years in
all, taking the figures from bis own
organs. He has drawn full salary and
perquisites every day of that time,
while the subordnates in the depart
ments are allowed only one months alb
sence in each year, and are docked for
every hour beyond 1t. The effect Of
this practice is seen all through the
service in exposures OF the fraud and
rascAlity which have disgraced the
country and made Grantism the syno-
nym for the worst phases Of corruption,
However, the time is near at hand
when Grant may not only 60 away
without consure, but will be invited to
stay away for good.
