ONO BACKSLTDING.

In a meeting of the Cincinnati Chamber Of
Commerce on Saturday, after a speech by Mr.
Smith. the persons present passed resolutions
urging a postponement of resumption. 1t was
claimed that it was "utterly lmpracticable
for the Government to resume at the date
fixed in the act of 1875, and ex-SeCrptary
Bristow was named by Mr.. Smith as authority
for the assertion. So it seems that Mr. Smith,
of The Gazette, and ex-Sacretary Brstow have
arrived at the precise position occupied by the
repudiating Democracy in the last Presidential
campaign; they want to repeal a solemn pledge OF
the United States to do aceTtain thing at fixed
time, because in their opinion, it "cannot be
done without great loss to the business COM
"munity" But the difference between these
persons who demand the indefinite postpone
"ment' of pledge of the public faith, and
those others who, on the very same pretcxts,
spent last Fall in clamOTing for the repeal of
that pledge, is one which we cannot discover.
We cannot cheer defenders of the public
faith by saying that this meeting is of no conse-
quence. 1t demands reputation of pledge of
the United States, but the Democrats of Ohio,
who demanded the same thing III 1870, and
again in 1876, seem now to be reinforced by
men who then thought it exceedingly improper
TO propose anything so dishonorahle. 1t is not
mite clear that the old repudiatOrs, with the
new advocates of indefinite pOStpOnement,
NAV not be majority in the State
of Ohio. and, as the East helped with might
and main to drag Ohio out of the ruin Of re-
pudiation in 1875, and to elect as Governor
the candidate of the hard-mOney men, so it
NAV be necessary hereafter for Eastern in
tIncnce to defend President and his financial
policy against the repudatOrs and the timid
and tricky politicians of the State from which he
came. Any repeal OF postponement of the act of
1875 is simply reputation of pledge of the
public faith. All over the country, citizens
have made or refused contracts relying upon
that pledge; the banks and insurance and other
financial companies have adjusted their busi-
ness to meet the change thus promised; and
the repeal of that pledge would be an act OF
the most bold and bare faced reputation.
1t cannot be honestly said that resumption is
impossible at the date now fixed. Impossible
without loss and Inconvenience to some people,
it certainly is at this time, and as certainly
will be at any other time. But precisely the
arguments which are urged to excuse it now
will be urged, after one postponement, or two,
or three, to excuse it yet again. There will
always be loss to somebody in the return to
specie values, but the loss will be less at this
time, if the Government moves fearlessly for
ward, than at any future day.

1t is difficult to believe that Grover of Ore
gon is fraud" or that he has ever done
anything inconsistent with his attitude of un-
selfish devotion to the cause of Reform. We
can hardly bring ourselves to entertain for Il
moment the suspicion that Grover bought his
election as Senator from Oregon. But they
seem not only to be suspecting it up there
in Oregon, but actually proving it, Members
of the Legislature who had been pledged
to vote for Mr. Nesmith. familiarly known
as "Old Nes," and who repudiated the
pledge and voted for Grover without any
visible cause, were subsequently found to
be taking up mortgages in a surprising man
ner; purchasing saw-mIls in such abrupt and
unexpected fashion as To excite remarks from
their neighbOrs, who never supposed that IL
steamboats, were selling for a cent apiece, they
had money enough to buy gangplank; show
ing up twenty dollar gold pieces and doing
all the other ridiculous things that men drop
into with the possession of unusual and doubt
fnl ducats. Then there were impecunl0us mem
hers seen coming from Growers room counting
up sums of money, and one fellow who cap
"proached" Nesmth with corrupt PROPOSE
ton, and said at the same time that he could
get money for his vote and thought it was
right TO take it. has skipped into the noun

State. than they would have paid on the same
quantities, shipped from the same stations, at
the rates in force before the law was
passed. For the known and almost unlycr-
sal effect of the Iowa law was, not to cause
reduction OF local rates to the level of through
rates, but to make it impossible for the rail-
roads to take through freight as cheapiy as
they had done before. 1t seems to us, there

mistake, which is not only very disastrous to

II Is a grave public misfortune that the
Board of Health finds ITSELF at tins season of
the year, unable to put into operation its or
dinary machinery for checking the heavy NOR
tality among the poorer classes. Within the
last two weeks the figures of the mortality list
have mounted up swiftly and steadily until
they exceeded those of the exceptionally hot
season of last year. More than half the deaths
are among the tenement-hOuse population
Just where the Board of Health wishes to work
and cannot, just where it is easy to believe that
their work would be effective in saving per
baps many scores of lives. 1t is not always
easy to fix the responsibility of such compl-
cations where there are two departments III
the case, but the Board of ApportiOnment may
rest assured that, If it proposes to take at any
time the action of which the Board of Health
is desirous, the public would be glad to see 1t
take it at once. If there is red tape in the
way, the red tape ought to be cut, when lives
are in question.

Throughout this war the Russians have fol-
lowed the good example set them by the VIC
tors in the Franco-Prussian conflict, by re-
training from wanton destruction. The Turks
have acted differently, being only restrained
from doing harm by their powerlessness. The
destruction of Cheyketil, quiet town on the
BLACK Sea. is one of those acts which will do
them no good, and will only render the Rus
slams terms of peace all the more severe.
