to the graduating class of the lazy
school of Washington University St.
Louis, on the 18th. His theme was
the relations of the Federal and

report of the address in the So. Louis

ion that both Governments are soyeT-
eign, each within a prescribed sphere,
each being a limited sovereignty. Mr.
Doolittle declares that our form oil
Government is not contederacy of

yers of the Senate have spoken on the
subjectin favor OF jurisdiction, among

The speech of Edmunds, is represent
ed as one of the strongest arguments

heretofore stood high in popular estimation.
This time it is Speaker Kerr, of whom a man
named Harvey, former door-kreper of .he
House of Representatives, testifes that he

PRESIDENTIAL TlcKETs.-Judging

PRESIDENTIAL TICKETs.-JudgIHg
from the tone of the Eastern papers
that reach the SIATEsMAH office, the
nomination of Tilden by the ST. Louis
convention may be regarded as a
foregoue conclusion. The adoption
of a soft money platform by the Ohio
democrats has eflectually fquelched
Thurman, whose prospects were pre-
viously good. Hendricks, of Indiana
is too much of trimmer for the times,
besides, out Of his own State, he has
no considerable following. Bayard,
of Delaware, has exhibited consider
able strength, but his location is bad,
and hailing from a pocket State, his
nomination can scarcely be regarded
as among the possibilities. In all the
list of candidates Tilden's is the one
sole name that stands out prominently
and gives assurance of success All
of the aspirants have points of merit,
but T'iIden has so identified himself
with the reform spirit Of the age that
to place any one else at the head of a
ticket pledged to reform would seem
very much like mOckery.
On the republican side, the attempt
to buy up Pennsylvania in the interest
of ConkliDg seems TO have reacted on
its originatOrs, and instead of setting
New York's favo:ite son forward it
has given him very decided set
backwards. Bristow is by all odds
the strongest man with the people,
but the politicians and ring managers
are all opposed 10 him,and Judging by
the virulence they exhibit in assailing
him, it really looks as though they
would prefer defeat rather than his
nomination and election. Morton is
regarded as the life and embodiment
of Whatever is bad and Objectionable
in the administration, and having the
sins of Grant and all the corruption
of the party on lis back, he appenres
to be hopelessly laid on The shelf.
The discontinue of these leaders
of the radical party, leaves the field
apparently clear for Blaine, who in
the light of the latest news, seems
TO have the domination at his com.
mand. With TIlden as the leader of
the democratic hosts, and Blaine TO
marshal the routed and discounted
republicans, the results can scarce be
a matter of doubt. 4 democratic tri
umph is assured, and with it n reStor-
alton of The honesty and purity that
characterized the early and better
days of the republic.

BOsH. "A correspondent of the
Olympia Courier claims that Jacobs
has done more for Washington terri
tory than any other delegate since the
days of |. |. Stevens. Comparisons
are always odious," but in this in
stance the comparison is simply ride
ulous. The common remark is, that
Jacobs has done less than any man
that has preceded him in the office of
delegate. The only legislation Tor
this immediate section of country is
the Colfax land office, and in looking
over the debate on the passage of the
bill We are unable TO find where the
delegate said single word in favor
of the measure. His attention has
mainly been confined to peddling ont
petty appointments to office, and even
in this field he has not been remark
ably successful. In The matter of the
delegate election, we take very little
interest. Heretofore the delegate
ship has been mainly run in ;he inter
est of the Sound counties, and if that
section of the territory desires the re-
turn of Judge Jacobs, we are salts
fed but when it comes to comparing
small mousing politician witt a great
statesman like |. / Stevens, We must
be pardoned for placing upon record
our dissent.

UUCERTAIN.-The resolution Of the
Illinois republican State convention
on the currency gave forth an uncer-
tain sound. "The republican party y
the convention says, " has given the
country the best paper currency ever
devised, and it is deemed unwise to
return to the paper currency in use be-
fore the war" From this it would
seem that the Illinois republicans are
pretty well satisfied with greenbacks,
and contemplate without apprehension
the posrponement of the day fixed for
specie resumption.

BLAINE OF MAINE seems TO be IN a

North Pacific Railroad stock that he
is supposed to have got away WIN
The charge is a little muddled, but
where there is so such smoke people
will reasonably conclude there Is some
fire. Even this last charge is too much
for that staunch republican paper, the
Ny Times, to swallow. Referring
70 Blaine's letter of explanation, The
Times says:
The opinion in political circles concerning

remarkable; he moiestly withdrew
from the army-so modest that he
actually disappeared between two

RETURNING TO OLD PRICEs.-The
success in numerical attendance at
the centennial exposition il not such as
was expected by Philadelphia land
lords. This was shown by the Girard
House, five days after the opening,
reducing It's price to S3 80 a day, the
old regular rate. The vast crowd OF
European visitors expected has not
come. And with the enlarged pre-
Parations for entertaing guests, high
rates cannot be adhered to longer.
This is an Improvement en- Vienna, at

QUIrg REDUCTIoN.-Mr. Taft was
not long in the war Department, but
he seems to have employed his time
to good account during the brief
period that he continued as its Scores
tary. His estimate of expenses for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1877,
in which there is reduction Of over
s., 900, 600, and which is said to receive
the concurrence of the army officers,
is something 10 his credit-that is,
presumipg the expenses to be kept
within the limit of his figures. In this
reduction a million Of dollars is saved
in clothing for the soldiers. The plan
hereafter to be adopted is simple. and
will completely do away with "moth
exterminators." 1t is, to purchase
the clothing when there Is a demand
for it, and do away with the system
of keeping large supply on hand.
The Secretary is correct III his state
meut that the manufacturing capaci
,y of the country is now sufficient by
ample TO insure the filling of an ORDER
for clothing at short notice. Wool
len and cotton mills are found in many
of the States, at wide distances apart,
so that there will be little difficulty IN
obtaining the goods at short notice,
without the necessity Of any great dis
tance Of transportation.
