Rabeaek.

The bitter feud between Bristow and
Grant over the prosecution of Bsbcock can
not much longer be concealed. AS the trial
progresses we may expect that the wrath
viii increase. There will be test of the
metal of Grant In this trial, of which the
American people are entirely ignorant. 1t
would not surprise the country If Mr.. Grant
should throw the entire weight of his social
end political influence in favor of his secre-
tary, and even if convicted, pardon him at
once. Mr.. Grant has great facility in being
excessively stupid at times, and this occs-
sien may afford him an opportunity ofsscri-
ficing whatever fame he may have acquired
as a atesmsn. 1t would be heroic in him
to pardon Babcock, and then resign. The
result of the late trial of Mckee places Mr..
Grant in situation by no means envisble
His very utterance will be closely marked,
and either in the conviction or acquittsl OF
Babcock, Grant must suffer. The people
can never be made to believe that Grant was
not cognizant of the frauds upon the
revenue.

depart and the masses of crowded audi
ence are at the mercy -of any impulse that
may move the frightened throng. Free
egress, with wide stairways and plenty of
them will not be safeguard. The scare
aud fright that come in anticipation of sud-
den calamity lead to most irrational
acts, and frequently the very thing
that will insure certain death is done to
avoid the imagined evil. 1t occurs to us in
view OF the fact that 50 slight cause can
produce such disastrous calamities as occur
all over the country, that in every crowded
audience panic should be anticipated as a
possible, If not probable, event. Then calm
and cool men, looking for, and ready to act
10 advance. could, by prompt action, often,
II not always, prevent the accidents that oc-
cur from the panic itself, like the action Of
brave generals that stop senseless stam-
pede of an army.

Extravaganza OF Republican Rule.

The Republican party set up anew their
claims for the continued confidence of the
American people, and base these claims
upon superior loyalty and extreme devotion
to the country. They claim to be par excel
lence. patriotic. They used to claim to be
the honest. moral party but since the office
holding representatives of the administra-
ton are being marched off to the peniten-
tiary by the score, they modestly say moth
ing now upon that score. But
what is loyalty and patriotism?
Does 1t consist simply in shouting
oneself hoarse with brawling professions.
or in honest and conscientious devotion to
the interests of the country? The time has
come when practice has at least fair show
with profession. The people can not be
hoodwinked much longer by empty cries OF
loyalty from those who utterly ignore the
vital interests of the state, and have their
hands elbow-deep in schemes of plumber
and robbery. The people have come to
the conclusion that true loyalty is incon-
sstent with wasteful extravaganza.
The Republican party have managed the
finances of the country for over dozen
years. Until the present session of congress
they have controlled the raising and ex-
penditure OF the revenues. The depart
ments, manned by Republicans, have pre-
pared their budgets, and Republican con
crosses have registered their requests in full
appropriations at the beginning AMI defie
1ency bills at the end of the years. To tbs
Republican party, therefore, belongs the re
sponsibility of whatever extravaganza
has marked the history of thes
years. The people seriously inquir
what is the necessity of such enormous ex
penditure of money in time Of peace?
there any legitimate reason why the cost @
admins tering the government should be s
much greater year alter year? There
