Tho very remarkable interview between
Mr.. BOWEN md tho Plymouth Church CON-
tnittee has two sidestoit, tho ono humorous,
tho other disgraceful. Hitherto Mr.. Bowen
1lns provoked feelings Of sympathy and Of
admiration, as well as Of disgust and Of con-
totnpt; now ho has sct tho public in broad
gut1aw ut hin remarkable display Of coward1y
agility. What new development tho Sphinx
will davc1opo in connection with this scandal
it il difficult to determine. During tho timo
that ho has maintained his stony silence, ho
l,as inspired certain sort of roversntia1 awe.
1Io has becn veiled in mystery like tho
Prophet of Khorassan. Thspublio has waited
such timo as ho should open his lips with tho
samo degroe Of painful curiosity that spoc-
tatora witch q volcano In momontary axpoc-
tation Of It's eruption. Now that tho time
has como, however, the contrast betweon the
Sphinx resting with sealed lips and gazing
calmly into the future, and tho Sphinx flying
through the back door Of parson HAn11pAY's
residence with liberal representation Of
Plymouth Church brethren bowling at h1s
heols, blunta the edge OF his oracular utter.

MEANINGLESS DEMOCRATIC BUNC0hIDE
Tho National Domocratic Committee adopt-
cd resolution just before ito adjournment
Which has been telegraphed Throughout tho
country ns sort Of national address to fire
tho popular heart. Whatever influence 1t
1nny have On tho popular heart, 1t is pretty
certain that the popular mind will promptly
repudiate It as m unfair partisan document
intendod to deceive the unthinking with posi-
tive untruths but half hidden under somo
glittoriug genoralities "Co.oporation," say
tho Committee, ";s desired from oil persons
who would change an Administration TINT has
suffered tho public credit to become aud re-
main inferior to other and loas-favored na-
tions." This Is purposoly obscure, but not tho
less untrue, whatever construction may bo
put upon It. II the Democratic Committee
refer to tho interest which tho Government
pays on its bonds, there is direct deception.
In 1861 tho Government paid as high as $40
per cont interest on part Of its obligations.
The 1905 were redeemed from tho proceeds
Of bonds bearing only per cent intorest,
Since then largo portion Of the outstanding
per cents havo been cancelled, and per
per cents isauod in place thereof. And there
ia now proposition bcfore Congresa author
izing the Secretary OF tho Treasury to sell
4i per cont bonds at par to take up the
remainder Of the per eonba* Thcre is no
doubt TINT these bonds can be readily nego-
tiated by making them run thirty years.
Tbs policy OF the dovernnont has been to
isaus short bonds with view to their early
retirement ind the rapid reduction Of tho
debt Had the opposite policy been pursued
it would have beon easy to soil bonds at still
lower rates Of interest. But eVen as it is,
there is only one Government in tho world
that OF Great Britain-Which can borrow
money Mt q lowor ratio of interest. Franco pays
per cont; Russia could scarcely sell per
centbonds bonds ut par to-day. England alone
commands money at lower rates, but It is with
securities that amount to perpetual invest
ment. The improvement Of American credit
unaer tho administration Of the Republican
party has been owing to constant adherence
to the policy Of maintaining the public faith
in the payment Of interest and principal Of
tho dobt in gold, and by such management of
the public service as to reduce the Gobt
$500, ,00o, 900 and ct the Same timo reduce

an Opposition House of Representatives., the
first since the war, will be in power at

great interest and Importance, especially
the latter; and all of them and everything

this THE Sun will contain complete and
accurate accounts, furnishing its readers
with early and trustworthy information
upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it, will be memo
rable as deciding upon Grants aspirations
for third term of power and plunder. and
still more as deciding who shall be the
candidate of the party of Reform, and as
el6cting that candidate. Concerning all these
subjects, those who read THE SUN will have
the constant means OF being thoroughly well
informed.
Ihe WEEKLY SUN, which has attained a
circulation of over eighty thousand copies,
already has its readers in every State and
Territory, and We trust that the year 1877
will see their numbers doubled. 1t will con-
tinue to be thorough newspaper. All the
