Current Comment.

The Hon. Ben Wade suspects that he
laughs best who laughs last.
1t would be sad il Mr.. Pendleton should be
unable to control the Legislature he has
chosen. The majority is big enough to be
ugly.
What would the virtuous Democratic press
say if the Whiskey Ring should hold con-
vention, denounce its prosecutors, and de-
mand whiskey reform?
Several enterprising reporters are now ac-
climating themselves in lucfer match facto-
tories preparatory to. an interview with Hon.
William Allen.
Garfield was not so much of a fool and a
greenhorn, after all, in leaving the Senator
ship to Stanley Matthews last winter, and
obeying the Presidents request to remain in
the House.
There is always an untailing consolation in
Democratic victory. A little success always
upsets the party and makes a series of first
class blunders on its part inevitable. A mere
taste of Democratic rule always turns the
country's stomach.
The Ohioelection has proved that the quick
est way to defeat the Republican party is to
vote Independent, Greenback. Labor and
Temperance tickets, thus showing that the
intelligent men who want reforms of all
kinds are chiefly Republicans. Would It not
be better to support the great party of prog
ress, and trust to it making as brilliant a rec.
ord in the future as it has in the past rather
than to turn the country over to the Demo-
Gratis, who have always opposed every meas
ure designed to benefit the people ?-PhiIa-
deEphiG Press.
The Republican disciple of the Dollar of the
Fathers in Ohio has abundant food for med
itation for some time to come. He, more
than any one else, demoralized the Republi :
can party on the financial question and set It
drifting hither and thther, without rudder
or compass. Nobody dared say a word for
hard money or for soft money in the cam
paign just closed, because nobody knew
where the party stood. The only good issue
the party had, was uncompromising support
of the Resumption act, and this was taken
away from them by the convention. If the
silver agitator had Gained his mind, and LET
the Democrats do the clamoring for a cheaper
currency, the convention would have been
able to do its duty, and though it might not
have saved the party from defeat it would
have saved it from disgrace.

ACTIVE efforts are being made to COM
plete the arrangements for the centennial
celebration at Schuylerville, New York, OF
the surrender of Burgoyne on October II,
1777. Many historians have supposed that
the French government was induced by that
event to promise recognition and assistance
to the struggling Colonies, but Judge
Thayer's statements at the late anniversary
of the battle of Germantown strongly indi-
cate that the galantry evinced by the attack
upon the British encampments near Philadel-
phia turned the scale in favor of the American
cause, and that the determination TO aid the
valiant Colonists was only strengthened and
confirmed by tldings of Burgoyne's surren-

THE subsidy schemes now preparing, which
will be presented next winter and which en-
ter as an important factor into the Speaker
ship problem, foot up $685. 100000. as follows
Texas Pacific, s12O,OOO,OOo; Northern Pacific,
S100,0O0,000; five lines of steamers, $75, ,OOO,-
900; Pacific Mail, $5,OoO,OOO; Brazil line,
S5,OOO,00O; Levees of the Mississippi, $780,
100000. OF course this enormous sum is
not to be paid all at once. The plans provide
for the extension OF the expenditures over a
long term of years, the annual outlay to be
$17OO0,000. But the aggregate drains upon
the Treasury would ultimately amount to
three hundred and thirty-fve million dollars
if these Democratic-Speakership combinations
are successful.

The Republic of Cuba, if Republic it may
be called, has just entered upon the tenth
year of its existence. Nine years of effort on
the part of the mother country in which she
has sacrificed more than one hundred and
fifty thousand men and piled up debt Of
two hundred million dollars, has left the
Queen of the Antilles as. far from being sub.
dued as at the start. Spain is now spending
$91, 100000 annually to keep its Cuban army
in the field. So heavy is this burden that af
ter the most ruinous taxes are imposed,
there is deficit of more than twenty million
dollars, which can only be met by gene raj
sequestraton. The little outbreak at Yara.
nine years ago, has spread until the insur.
gents hold the Spaniards at bay in all the in
terror towns, and beat back all the armies
sent against them. The Cuban patriots fight
without pay and live upon the country as best
they may. 1t seems hopeless task for
Spain longer to attempt their subjugation.

So many "good Americans" wish to ego
to Paris" even before their death, that we
take for granted they must be interested in
the great piece of engineering now in prog
ress, which will substitute not unpleasant
railway ride between England and France
for the unpleasant transit across the ever
veXed Channel in the meanest steamers that
ever voyaged on salt water. French and
English skill, enterprise and capital are now
united in constructing the Channel tunnel
from Dover to Calais. Great railroad COM
panies are doing this work-on one side. the
Great Northern of France; on the other, the
Chatham and Southeastern lines. The
works are most forward on. the French coast.
Little doubt of their success is entertained.
When the tunnel is completed, some years
hence, it will belong to its founders. Thirty
years after that the French and English gov
ernments may take possession of the tunnel.
if they please, upon certain conditions al
ready provided for and guaranteed. Once
that there is submarine railroad between
France and England, with total avoidance of
the dreadfully unpleasant Channel voyage. a
new era will be established. The steamboat
passage is great obstacle to international
intercourse.
