The paralytic stroke which causes SO
much apprehension and alarm to the
friends of this distinguished statesman
excites sympathetic anxiety throughout
the country. Mr.. Morton has been for
many years q leading figure among our
public men, and has hardly an equal for
boldness, energy and that species Of
sagacity which is the mark of a great
politician. He may not quite deserve
to be ranked as great statesman,
but he makes q nearer approach
to that character than any man in the re-
publican party, with possibly two excep-
tons. Should his present illness prove
fatal it would create Il chasm in our public
life which could not easily be filed. Sen
ator Morton has gone to extremes in the
passionate controversies which arose out of
the war, but he has exhibited qualities
which would fit him for great usefulness in
the new era which opened with the access
sion of Mr.. Hayes to the Presidency. OF
the eminent leaders Of the republican
party he was the first who had the
penetration to see that the Southern ques-
that assumption. While. Mr.. Blaine has
put himself in antagonism to the President,
and Mr.. Conkling's position is even at this
late day underlined Mr.. Morton had the
prompt sagacity to see and the courageous
candor to publicly acknowledge that Presi-
dent Hayes acted in accordance with events
which left him no choice, and that his
policy is as patriotic as it was in
evitable. Senator Morton is man who
knows q fact when he sees it, and is too sin
cere and earnest to continue battle after
clear perception that it has ended. Should
lose the most important champion of his adj
ministration in the Senate. This would be
q great public misfortune at a time when
the wise policy of the President stands in so
much need of able and strenuous defenders.
With Conkling cold, Blaine hostile and
full, the loss of so clear-headed and
courageous supporter as Senator Morton
would be a public calamity.
Mr.. Morton's disappearance from public
life would be regrettabls on other grounds.
In the vast mass of legislation which is out
side of party politics man of his ripe judg-
ment and great experience is invaluable,
and qualifications like his are not soon ac-
quired, even by Legislators of strong facul-
ties. Moreover, he has been devoting
great deal of time and thought to a reform
in the method of electing our Presi-
dents, and there is little prospect
that this important reform will be carried
without his propelling energy and I'M
equalled mastery of the subject, should his
life be spared and his health be sufficient.
The number of our public men is small in
deed whose usefulness in the present state
of our politics is likely to be SO great and
solid as that Of Senator Morton. We trust
that he may recover from this alarming ILL
ness and live many years to give the benefit
of his ripe experience to the conduct Of
public affairs.

Notice to JOkers.

1t is n sad thing to find all the forces and
authorities of the United States employed
and directed to head off the poor little Jokes
of people who put their advertisements in
the form of bank notes and buy groceries
with them; but there never was govern
ment that had any real appreciation OPIUM,
and although the republican form is far
nearer to genial sympathy with the people
than any other, even this is compelled, out
of regard to the prejudices of society, to act
as if it thought its own promises to pay
were really serious. From the point of
view of high financial science the greenback
and the note of fractional currency are us
thoroughly good jokes as the tive-dollar
note on the Bank Of True Love issued
by a vender of valentines, or the decorative
label of a retail dealer in mustard, while for
the purposes of money it is rather better be-
cause Uncle Sam is more widely known than
the other dealers. But for this Uncle Sam
to pretend that if anybody else beside him
self shall issue irredeemable notes he will
put him in prison is piece of tyranny

portion during the present year, in spite o.
the war. We must not, therefore, count q
great deal on the abatement of Russian COM
petition. But supplies of the English mar
ket from France will pretty nearly cease, be-
cause the French harvest is not good, and the
supply from India will cease altogether
in consequence Of the famine. We
are certain to have better COM
mand of the English market than in
recent years, and that market is enlarged
by the partial failure of the English wheat
crop. Aside from fluctuations dependent
on the seasons the production of grain in
Great Britain is steadily declining, the high
prices of meat causing more and more land
to be turned into pasturage. This is proved
by figures derived from the agricultural
returns of Great Britain for 1876. For the
last three years the extent of land on which
wheat was grown was-

We are therefore likely to supply con-

incapacity to wage the kind of warfare that
the army must engage in is certainly suffi-
cient ground for the substitution OF another

that should be blamed for future failures,

II the story is true that Mrs. Hayes has for
hidden, for the future, the presence OF wine at
state dinners, 1t is a heroism that cannot be
too highly praised. Hereafter, then, the peo-
pie are to understand that metaphorically
speaking, the order of the " Red Ribbon -
futters from the door knob Of the White House.
This innovation on time-honored custom
marks the bravery of woman in position and
IN city whore wine Is one Of the requirements
of properly garnished table. We believe that
no man would have the courage to do what
Mrs. Hayes has done.
It is not defiance Of public opinion thus
presented by the wife Of the President, for
perhaps public opinion will sustain her in an
act which will certainly obtain the endorsement
OF many hard drinkers. Besides, the White
House is her house for the time, and no one
may dictate to hostess as to the menu for an
entertainment. The example thus set seems
to be in accord with the personal character
istlcs OF woman endowed with pCrpose to
bring common sense to apply to her connection
with the Administration, and to effect reforms
that will be for the betterment OF the people.
1t requires moral courage TO do what Mrs.
HAYES has done yet done. it is we'll done.
No one can justly find fault with her decision,
and there are multitudes who will applaud it,

Mrs. Hayes has policy which will meet with
the hearty approval Of all classes of the Ameri-
can people. That policy is the exclusion OF

the Royal Princes OF Russia and, in consider
alton OF the peculiar circumstances attending
their former and present visit. the establish
ment of the rule for the first time in their case
was omitted but that henceforth no wine il to
be used at any time on the table of the Presi-
dent, That being the general rule, no one can
take exceptions. The President is Of necessity
absolute in the management of his own house
subject only to the supremacy OF the lady OF
that house. The absence OF wine s the rule oil
