question in view OF the new uses which
are continually being found tor paper.
Various new articles have been success
fully introduced, and now writer in
the Scientific American says the tough
ends OF asparagus make the finest quail

few favored places there are manufac-
tories where the asparagus ends are
used in this way, and where the careful
housekeeper boards up the scraps with
a diligence unknown elsewhere. But

WHAT will the two political parties do
about the Southern policy of President
Hayes? From party standpoints the
duty OF each is clear. All OF President
Hayes acts are acts Of the party that
made him President. He is en-
titled to o cordial Endorsement at the
hands of his party, or they should utter
ly repudiate him and his acts. lnpoli-
tics there is no halfway house. A party
can not indorse one act and condemn
another, for in SO doing the power Of the
party is broken. II the Republicans
refuse to indorse the course of the
President, it will be virtually saying to
the country that they are not satisfied
with their. own administration Of the
Government. With that admission,
they can not, with much force, ask to be
continued in power. The duty of the
Republican Convention from party
standpoint Is plain. 1t must either
fully indorse the Administration, or
sGuarely condemn it and acquit the
party of all responsibility for its acts.
The D mocrats are in the same predica-
ment in this matter as their opponents.
The course of the President has been SO
fair, has partaken SO little Of the usual
p,rtisan spirit, that, although the Admin
istration party proper is not united, the
enemy is just as thoroughly demoral-
lied. What will the Democratic State
Convention say of the Presidents
Southern and Civil Service policyH
From the same point of obsef-
walton precisely the same arguments
are seen. The Democracy can not con-
denim part and copmend another part
of the work OF the President. 1t must
either assume that the Administration
has broken loose from the Republican
party, and indoEse the whole work Of

WE believe there is sufficient appre-
citation, on the part OF all concerned, OF
the gravity Of the situation, to insure
such steps as will prevent further de.
struction of property and loss of life in
the railroad strikers contest. The re-
suit has been the most terrible of the
kiuu ever known IN this country,
and there are few prominently con-
nected with the trouble on either side
who do not deeply depiore it. Like all
movements in which the passions and
prejudices are involved, it went further
than was intended, those who were at
first the leaders soon losing control OF
the elements that flocked to their aid.
The tone of the meeting on Court
street yesterday afternoon was ghly
credita Bile to the working people OF this
city. Conversations with those assem-
pled would at once demonstrate to a
fair thinker that the workiugmen of
Cincinnati have an intelligent COM
prehension Of the situation that
would in any contingency be
u safeguard to their own rights as we'll
as to the property ot'the city. They are
rs strong In their sympathy with the
strikers as are the laboring people OF
any other part of the country, but they
have a conception of the whole subject
that would guide their movements and
prevent their, doing one day what
they would regret the next. The
lesson of the present strike is terrible
one, but it may be made to serve severs
useful purposes, the most important oil
which is that all difficulties can be bet
ter settled by consultation and an in
terchange of information than by arbi.
trary orders backed by the military.
