HARD TINES NO MORE.D

Is there any remedy for the hard times
we are often asked. In one sense, No; there
is no patent nOstrum that will serve-nO green
back plaster, no 3.65 bond bolus, no stimu-
liant of Congressional enactment that will
avail to set the patient on his feet. The mis-
take made by all the financial Quacks who
constantly intrude their schemes for revIving
business is that they make false diagnosis
Of the case. They insist that the prOstration
which always follows q crisis is the disease, and
they invent divers remedies to cure 1t while
in fact this lethargy is itself the remedy.
Over-trading, ovcr-manufacturing, public and
private extravaganza, the investment OF capi-
tai In visionary and unproductive enterprises,
the hot fever of speculation-these were the
disease The crash Of 1878 came as the inev-
table result OF their ihsidious and fatal in
fuence. Tho world Of business has its laws
as well as the world of nature and their vio-
lation entails penalties which cannot be
avoided. After q man has suffered sharp
and severe stroke Of illness he experiences
first period of exhaustion and then one Of
convalescence. The parallel with the business
community is perfect. The financial crash is the
shock Of the sudden attack, the panic with it's total
suspension of commercial transactions is the
period Of exhaustion, and the hard times an
swer to that of cOnvalescence. No physi-
clan would insist on his patients going
to work as soon as tho disease had left his
system. Convalcscenoe is an essential part Of

other countries is waste Of time. We do
not pretend to compete with European En-
bassics in splendor Of representation, and it is
not desirable that we should. The salaries
we paw enable three-fourths of our ENJOYS to
live in shameful squalor abroad, and to come
home rich, considering their station at home.
Not half of them live up to their pay. few
men of fortune and Of stlf-respect, like Adams
and Motley and Jay and Sanford, have spent
much more than they received, just as they
would do if they were in Congress, or in any
Office in their own States. No reduction in
salaries would turn them out of their legations
If it brought more of that class into the SER
vice, and kept out a few greedy ward poll
ticians, there would be nothing in it to mourn

caucus that Mr. Blaine is the choice OF the Rep bcans
OF tho State for the Presidency.
The President-malers who are so sure Mr.
Blaine Is dead, had best be haste about buryins
him. He will be found at Cincinnati animated with an
amount Of yeness which would be simply preposterou

The Pennsylvania Democrats are in favor OF
having the National Convention held at Philadelphia in
Independence Hall, on July T. The State Committee
passed resolution y that effect at their meetng
when 1t decided hold State Convention at Ian

The Democratic press begins to see that the
party majority in Congress is liable to put its foot In is
every time it touches tho currency question: and is adyis
ing the adoption OF the passive policy. Thus The Bait
Gazette says 1--WE begin to believe that the best
thing that Congress do with the question OF finance
is to do nothing at all. As 1t stands, the Republican
party OF the last Congress Is responsible for the resup

The recent message OF the Governor Of Wisconsin
marks The return of sanity to the Western treatment
of the railroad problem. Wisconsin has suffered
more By crazy legislation than any of the States
and her citizens have already found out that in tho
long run they gain nothing by serving notice upon
capital that it must keep clear Of their borders if it
would keep safe. If now the Supreme Court which
has the matter IN hand should make end of the
fol,es of Granger legislation, essential step would
be taken toward reyiying the prosperity of the

In the present state of British politics, John
Bright's speech at Birmingham is calculated 10
create considerable commOti0n. Ills attack On
land monopoly and primOgeniture Will no doupt
excite the anger OF the great landlords ana
bring down upon him fresh shower OF the
epithets with which he was formerly assailed.
In advocating equal parliamentary districts ne
likewise strikes a blow at the landlord class,
whose political influence would be greatly I'M
paired by that measure. Mr.. Brights speech
will serve to encourage the Liberals, and prob
ably cause them to agitate unitedly for the OBJ
iects he designates.
Cbief-Justice George Shea Of tho Marine
Court, who sends us an interesting letter about
Jefferson DAVIS, was, as is well known, the prin-
cipal agent in securing the signatures OF Mr..
Greeley. Gerrit Smith, and others to Mr.. Daylss
bail bond The essential point of his present
statement is that Mr.. Greeley and the
other gentlemen whom he approached
on that subject were unwilling to move
in the matter until entirely satisfied
of Mr.. Davs's freedom from the guilt OF in
territorial cruelty to Northern prisoners at An
ucrS0nNllP; IndJ oIltlS dt 'Ho ih''''''' VI
Mr.. Greeley and Vice President Wilson, went to
Canada to inspect the journals of the secret
sessions of the Confederate Senate-documentS
which up to this time have never
passed into the hands of our Government
OF been accessible to Northern readers !;
that from these secret records, including
numerous messages from Davis on the sub
iect, it concusively appeared that the rebel
Senate believed the Southern prisoners were
mistreated at the North that they were eager Tor
retaliation, and that Davis strenuously and to
the end resisted these Efforts and that he
ATTEMPTED to send Vice-PreSident Stephens
North to consult with President Lin
coin on the subject. No more
important statements than these concerning
that phase of the civil war have been given to
the public. They shed light upon the course
of Mr.. Greeley and other eminent citizens
of the North and it seems to us
clear that, on many accounts, the
rebel authorities owe it to themselves and to
history to give to the public the documents
which Judge Shea was permitted to see. III
is not likely that they will have any
material effect upon the fate of Mr.. DAVIS, or
upon political questions now pending. But they
are of vital consequence to any correct history
of the rebellion, and their revelations, If sustain
ing throughout the portions submitted to Judge
Shea, might do as much TO promote IS the late
Andersonvillc debate did to retard the recon-
ciation of the sections.

lie sympathy for the Commissioners, however,
