she does those of Science. While the Latter

the open air has been physical delight-ior,
to be so, one must not be compelled TO look
after his steps-that the general expression OF
the crowds thronging all cleared sidewalks
gave token of a relief almost amounting 10
luxury. But, in the streets which have not
been excavated. the power OF the snow 10

dsmally illustrated. The glacial formation,

What the effect will be when the ice dlsip-
pears, leaving the entire deposit OF SIX weeks
behind it, we do not like to conjecture. Alter
thirty days Of uninterrupted sleighlng be-
tween uptown and High Bridge, the bells are
silent; and we have reached the days when
the snow, even il it should fall IN quantity,
will not lie long.

see. This much seems likely: that the balance

SETTLED.

We have never believed in the Compromise
BILL We have looked upon 1t as unc0nstltu-
tional and dangerous and have had no doubt
that at least the Republicans, if not also the
Democrats, would yet learn to consider it as IN
q party sense inpolitic. While it was open to
discussion we opposed it with all the energy at
our command 1t has passed, and there can be
no question AS to the duty which now rests upon
it's opponents All good citizens have to accept
it and mako the best of it. The action OF
Congress must be recognized as final. The
decision of the arbitrat0rs, whatever it
may be, must be ratified not only by
the formal assent of the Senate ana
House Of Representatives, bu5 by the cheer
ful acduiescence of the whole country
There must be no wrangling over the
Judgment, no attempt to set aside the verdict
no complaint by the adherents OF the nnSuc-
cessfu candidate that President has been
made by violence or fraud. The country has
agreed TO submit this controversy to arbtra-
ton, and both sides must abide Loyalty by the
result When it was believed on the 9Th OF
November that Mr.. Tilden had been elected,
TIE TRIBUNE expressed the readiness OF
patriotic citizens in general to accept the de-
csion of the polls, give the new President
fir trial, and sustrin him frankly whenever
he deserved it. We think it is not too much
to expect both political parties to commit
themselves in the same way to an honorable
support of the unknown choice of the COM
mission.
Under ordinary circumstances it would be
proper for the defeated claimant of the Presi-
brcme Court; hut now that majority OF the
court has become disqualified to hear the mat
ter III q suit at law, IN attempt to resort to che
bench woud be a gross improperly which the
country could hardly tolerate. A verdict in
opposition to the Judgment of the commission,
whatever its legal force would certainly not
command the respect Of the people. The An
glo-Saxon race fights hard for what 1t believes
to he right but it yields gracefully to the de-
cision of recognized authority. The country
will not allow any appeal from the tribunal
which both parties have now agreed to create.
1t does not mean to Mexicanize the United
States. 1t has resolved that the newly estab-
lished commission shall end the controversy
for good and ali.
Indeed the temper of the country is so well
understood that we do not suppose the most
reckless and violent Of partsans will dream Of
continuing the struggle any longer. The dis
pute over the election has been tedious and
unpleasant, but it has brought ont so clearly
the just disposition and patriotic spirit of the
American people, their sclfcontrol, their mod
Grafton, and their good sense, that we cannot
help regarding it az an improving and salts
factory experience. Nothing since the close of
the war has exhibited so clearly the strength
of orr DOlitical institutions as the attitude of
the American people in this strange and diff
cult ciiSis We have no fear that their good
sense will fail them at the last.

THE OREGON TkLEGRINS.

The investigation Of the Oregon case goes on
beautifully. Leading Democrats III all parts Of
the United States seem to have been concerned
in the TRANSACTION which the Senate Sub-COm
miIee now has under review NewIork was
in prolonged spasmodic communication by
telegraph with Portland and salem the invest
ment of three thousand dollars in a novel
siuglc-action, self-rcgistcring automatic cleo
toral college was directed from Creamery Park !;
and the travelling expenses OF the profuse
CIonin were Iut UP i'll Liberiy-st. These
facts, suspected from the first have been
clearly established, and proof is fast
taking the place of conjecture with respect to
various Othtt curious incident. of the Oregon
complication. Nothing could have been more
satisfactory than the result # the search
among Geographic dispatches on Saturday
Mr. Hewitt was then discovered insructing
Senator Kelly how to I" relieve the embarI.Iss-
"mcnt Of the situation by getting u ccrtiIi-
cate for an elcctOr who was not elected. and
warning Gov. Grover not TO be deuded into
admitting the truth about iayes's majority.
Col. Peiton was in active correspondence with
DIR. Miller respecting "still hunt" in Ne
braska, of which we have yet to learn the par
ticulars and Mr.. 5. $. Cox, Mir. John G.
Thompson, and the pOrientous Patrick flashed
encouragement and advice from New York,
Columbus, and San Francisco. Altogether
the month of November seems to have been
for Democratic. statesmen generally very
lively and expensive period.
The most interesting, however, of the dis
patches laid before the subcommittee on
Saturday was in the following thrilling words

Barnes, no mean authority in life insurance
SAYS they are not worth the money that Is 10

Washington, and reinsured them there, where
the Insurance Superintendent of New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, or any other
State can never NEEDLE with them more, nor
insist that any reserve whatever shall be kept
upon them. We do not say that the new lamps
are not bright and beautiful. but we feel as
sured they have not all the valuable properties
of the old ones, and they do not appear to
have been startlngly cheap at the price.

compliments which a Democratic committee
has freely bestowed upon him.
/ OF the strictly local concerns of the Mas
sachusetts railroads, the report of Mr. Charles
Francis Adams, jr., and his colleagues, OF when
careful abstract is given elsewhere, does
not find much that is striking 10
say. When, for the first time since there
were railroads in Massachusetts, there
have been no roads built in the State during
the past year, and but 10 out of 30 roads
have paid dividends, it cannot be said that the
business is either growing or profitable. But
in discussing the evil tendencies which make
railroad wars periodic, and the relations of
Boston to other business centers, the report
commands that general attention always ac-
corded to the work of so able specialist as
Mr. Adams. Whenever he takes the floor on
these topics he is sure of a large audience.
If Mr. David Dudley Field should succeed
in proving that certain Louisiana returns were
altered IN Republican interests, as is now
alleged, he will score the first success in a
series of dismal failures SO far, while the
developments have been sensational and serl-
Gus, rs throwing suspicion upon the actions OF
members of the Returning Board, their mag
nitude is not startling. They show in the case
cited an alleged changef6f between three and
four hundred votes, but all further developments
of the kind are mere Washington rumor. 1t Is
a question, however, whether the Democratic
il-hck does not still hang round this sterile
investigation. These charges come at time
when the country, weary of the controversy,
has assigned to the commission the same con-
tract that Congress has just given QUITO take

SANFORD'S
RADICAL CURE
For CATARRH.

NSTAN 7 L relieves aid permanently cures
L this loathsome disease in all its varying stages.
1t possesses the soothing and healing properties of
plants, herbs and barks in their essential FORMS free
from every brous contamination and in this respect
differs from every other known remedy. In short
year it has found its way from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast, and wherever known has become the
standard remedy for the treatment of Catarrh. The
proprietors have been waited upon by gentlemen of
national reputation who have been cured by this
remedy. and who have, at considerable expense and
personal trouble, spread the good news throughout
the circles in which they move. When you hear
wealthy gentleman of intelligence and refinement
say 81 owe my life to Sanford's Radical Cure" you
may feel assured that it article of great value
and worthy to be classed among the standard medi-
cal specifics of the day.
