REFERRING to the Democratic victory
in Ohio, the New York Tribune senten-

unfailing consolation in Democratic vic

MORE ARMY-Such is the demand
made by many since the late riots.
"More soldiers" or we will have no
liberty. This is all nonsense. We do
not want brute force, we have enough
of that. tits moral character we want
instead Of more soldiers. The New
York Sun closes the argument on the
question in this way: "The strength
of Republican government the main
tenance of Democratic institutions, the
peace of the United States, or the good
order and welfare OF the American
people, do not depend upon the size Of
the army, Or the dominancy of the
military establishment, or the gran
deur of our array of Generals, Colonels,
Majors, Captains, Lieutenants, Cor
porals, and buglers, all gorgeously uni
formed, and all trained in the use Of
swords, bayonets, guns, pistols, can
non, and mitrailleuses. When the Con-
stitution and public peace can be main.
tanned only by carnage and fire, this
Republic, now one hundred years old
will be in a bad way, and not worth
keeping up. The army should be re
duced to ten thousand men. The best
government isthat which governs least
The world is governed too much.

PooR DocToRs Reader, suppose you
did feel unwell in 1860, and turned of
your former physician, who was noted
for his skill, and employed another
who has been stufing you with nos
trums ever since, and your physical
situation is four fold worse now than it
was in 1902 Do you not suppose
that il IS about time to swop doctors
again and see whether you cannot find
one that understands your disease and
will save you from a premature death ?
Apply your physical discomfort to that
Of your country, the affairs of which
have been managed by political quacks
since 1860. Have they not given us
some awful doses, and We are, never
theless, sicker than ever Let us en-
ploy some other physicians at the next
election, and see if the country cannot
be saved from bankruptcy and mob
rule. Anarchy is our fate if new men
are not employed very soon.

against d. ]. Godshalk and Joseph A,
Weaver, publishers of the Bethlehem
Times, for alleged libel of plaintiff in
publishing a speech of U. J. Wennpr
Esq, in case of Alfred Crist against
the said Lynn. The Judge holds, in
effect, that the speech of a lawyer,
without giyinga full report of the trial
is a libel. The Judge said be would
impose no other sentence than the
costs. We understand the case is like.

policy has the right ring. tits not neces-
sary for Democrats to fall on the bosom
of Mr.. Hayes because, accepting the
inevitable, he has called off the federal
troops and recognized the omnipotence
OF civil law but it is proper that they

ing the subject in this way

Pierrepont and Badeau are repro
senting the people of the United States
abroad upon the same principle that
the Ringmastcr and the Clown repre-.
sents them at the circus While the
Grant family, accompanied by these
two men, were travelling in England
crowds received them on the street
corners just as circus is received TO
see the elephant and the band wagon.
When the caravan reached France,
Germany and Italy it attracted no
more attention than four horse team.

mapsbip Of Rutherlord y. Hayeg, and we cor.
daily approve bis efforts to carry ont In good
faith the principles avowed by the Cincinnati

This is one OF the planks kicked out
of the Radical platform in Maine,
where Mr.. Blaine was Chairman. Dur
ing the discussions, when Gen. Cham.
berlain and other Hayes champions
would mention the name of "the gov.
ernmcnt," Kisses and cat.calls came
from all quarters of the hall, showing
ponclqsively that Maineites are ready
for cheap rebellion. Tho fact that q
great long platform, like that of Maine,
failing to mention the name Of the Pres

is in the hands Of his enemies, led by
Senator Blaine.
