can: Every time Pr, sident Hayes goes
out OF the circle of mere politicians and
appoints citizen to a high office he
makes popularity with the country, and
commands the respect aud acquiescence
of the politicians themselves. When he
takes politician he creates popular
distrust and political jealousy and
doesn't elevate the civil service. The
moral isn't far to seek There are more
citizens than there are politicians, and
the one are growing in influence and
impOrtance as the others are IAding.

THE organization of greenback club
in this city does not imply opposition
to the democratic party. SO far from
it, the leaders in the movement are
known to be true and tried democrats,
who seek to create healthy public
sentiment on the subject of our cur
rency. The greenbackites of Texas, as
we understand them, belong to that
wing of the democratic party which
was marshaled in the St. Louis conven>
ton by Mr.. Ewing, of Ohio, and who
interpret the national platform as de-
claring its hostility to the financial
policy of the republican party to the
withdrawal of capital from taxation to
increasing the burden of the debt by
declaring currency bonds payable in
gold to the demonstration of silver in
the interest Of the creditor at the ex
pense of the debtor, and TO the attempt
TO force resumption when 1t will bring
ruin upon the country. Under this
