The Democratic candidates for President
are falling fast. The last to drop out Of
recognition is Thurman, of Ohio. He is
charged with gobbling up fee of $4,000
cut of the assets of the Atlantic and Great
Western Railroad, and the query is what
he did for it. The Atlantic and Great
Western was notorious for the skillful way
in which it was managed for fleeing the
stockholders, and Thurman seems to have
come in, at the right moment, for his share
Of the plunder. Pendleton, Hendricks,
Thurman. Tiden-who will complete the
tally of candidates for the Presidency

The figures showing the comparative
cost Of running tho Treasury Depart.
ment OF the United States and the
British Empire should startle every mar
in the country. Tho cost Of our Treasury
management is stated at 81. 263, 0l2. and
how much more nobody knows, while
England's expenses in conducting her
finances are only SOL, 100. Here is q
difference for our Radical brethren 10
explain to the people. Why should we
e1pend two millions aud q half more
than England in salaries. etc., for really
less service in this department? We
should bs graiihed TO hear an explana.
ton Of this singular aud suspicious
fact.-SdR Ffuncisos Ernminer.
The miners OF the Comstock get four
dollars per day INC work eight hours.
The same men in England would get ten
shillings q day. This is q startling fact
and ought to be investigated. The
population Of England is crowded
together and one officer can attend
to twico As many people ~ the same
officer could in the United States.
England Ia q fres-trads country, and
the complications which surround our
Treasury Department are not known
there. There are other reasons still
10 cause the difference. but those are
sufficient Tiryinia Enterprise.

eighteen voted for the admission Of

have secured his election. Thus the
silly notion which soms Democratic
papers tried to beat into the heads Of
their readers. that this action Of the
Club was invested with any political sig'
uiacance is exploded. We have gather.

with . holy fear. and obey them - i'm

pear again in thar midst. These men
have now virtually taienthe government
into their own hands. They have fore
cd the Sultan to remove the Grand vizisr
and appoint . new one more in accord
with their feelings. They are really the
leading power in Constantinople to-day.
A widespread and bloody religious
war Is imminent. The Sofas. who are
about 10000 strong. profess their friend
Illness to tho Christians. but while max
ing these professions. they are buying
up all the arms in Stamboul. The
Christians. too. are arming themselves
in seli-dsfsnso. Constantinopls contains

recruits. The officers say that they
could not control the latter II an out

probably follow the Softas. and turn the
Government arms against the Christians.
