It's not an inappropriate time to recall
these words Of Washington: ''There is an
in5;ssoluble union between q msgnani-
NOUS policy, and the solid rewards Of pub
lie prosperity and felicity"

Mr.. W. E. Chandler Of New Hampshire
is credited with saying that the masses Of
New England Republicans are opposed to
the Presidents Southern policy, and that
the sentiment is so strong in Msine that
resolution giving expression to it viii De
incorporated in the platform Of the Rspub-
hcan convention.
Speaker Randall is not getting a very
enthusiastic support for the Speakership
from the West. Ohio sets down on him,
Illinois turns q cold shoulder, and now the
ST Louis Republican says almost any man
would be better for Speaker than this one,
who tried to be on both sides Of a question
at the same time.
Everything is in readiness for the open
ing of the Permanent international Exhi-
bition at Philadelphia on the 10th of May.
and newspaper men who have already been
there, say the display viii, in many re-
spects, be superior to the great show Of
last year. The success of the enterprise
seems to be assured.
General Sherman's opinion Of the war in
Europe is that It will be Of long duration,
and involve other CONTESTANTS besides Rus
sia and Turkey. He states that American
officers desirous Of visiting the scene of
operations can only obtain leaYe Of absence
on half-pay if at ali, and that they will be
debarred from engaging temporarily with
either army.
Secretary Sherman evidently means busi-
ness in raising the lash against the whisky
theieves. In his letter to the district at
torneys he directs them to prosecute, gel
judgments and seize property where neces-
sary. He is determined that Uncle Sam
shall have his legal rights as well as any
other man. Had there been more such men
in Office since the war our public debt
would not be what it is.
The convention into which Roumania
and Russia have entered, shows clearly
with which country the former is in sym
pathy. She has given Russia every posi-
bic right upon her soil, industries and
people, asking in return the omission Of
all wantonness on the part Of the Russians,
and the Intervention of the Gar against
the fanaticism and weakness of the Mus
sulman rule.
The Grand Duke Nicholas, who is COM
manding the Russian army on the Pruth,
says; 'We do not march to make con-
quests, but to defend our brethren oppress-
ed for Christ's sake" He also exhorts his
soldiers to avoid all the excesses, irregular
tiles and freebooting tendencies of armies
In general. The Turks will be lawless ev-
erywhere and it will be well to have the
distinction between the conduct of the two
armies as great as possible.
Ohio Republicans send out pathetic
appeal for the reelection of Mr.. John G..
Thompson as Sergeant-at-arms. If either
Sayler or Thompson must be sacrificed,
they beg for The slaughter of Sayler. They
say Ohio is large State, but it is toe
small for Thompson. His bugle-blasts and
sheet-iron thunder require a national field
TO make them bearable. Thompson, like
some other works of art, they seem tc
think. is most beautiful at distance-say
several hundred miles away.
Mr.. Wendell Phillips absurd comments
upon the Cabinet Of President Hayes have
crossed the Atlantic, and have revealed to
at least one commentator on American af-
fairs glimpse of an historical truth. The
Pal Nall Gasstte says, ''The injustice OF
the coarse and frantic rhetoric makes US
understand how the cause Of emancipation
was 50 long delayed in the United States
by the follies of its advocates, and how
the abolitionist faction was despised and
detested by many who had no sort of sym
pathy with slavery"
Mr.. Beeeher is nothing. says the Pitts
buFgh Telegraph, if not sensational; moth
ing if not irreyerent; nothing if not de-
structive, and he was in his happiest mood
the other evening. He sailed off on the
sea of heresy and latitudinarianism in his
boldest style, and showed that he is never
SC happy as when he is tearing up and
tearing down the root, foundation and su-
perstruoture of established belief. Happi-
ly, his influence to-day is not what it was
years ago. Those who go to hear him lis
ten as Of old, but afterwards think for
themselves. Were it not 50 he would be
the most dangerous ''moral teacher" the
world ever knew.
The Republican State Central Commit
tee, at its meeting in Columbus on Thurs
day Of last week, decided to hold the next
State Convention on Wednesday, August
lst, at Cleveland. The time and place are
appropriate. In the torrie days, the cool
breezes Of Lake Erie are to be preferred to
the sitting heat of Columbus or Cineinna-
ii. Besides, should Congress meet in ex-
ira session, in June. political issues NAV
be developed demanding more definite and
emphatic declarations Of princiules en-
some particular question of policy. than
might seem to be required at an caller dav
As q rule, two and half months before
an election lively are better than a canvass
long drawn out and comparatively as un-
interesting to the people as a revolution in
Mexico.
