HOW TO MAKE BoTH ENDS MEET

One Of the most important lessons which
the American people need to learn is the
necessity for economy. The imitation pro-
duced by the unwise financial policy
adopted by Secretary CHASE during the
war increased the nominal value of prop
erty 50 much that many people were mis-
led rs to their real ability and fell into
extruvagant habits under the impression
that they had far greater means than they
really possessed. As is usual in times Of
war, great fortunes were made rapidly by
dishonest means and spent layishly. These
causes, taken in connection with the public
decentralization which war always produces,
fostered habits Of extravaganza which have
produced most disastrous consequences,
Nor has this extravagant spirit been con-
fined to individuals, but counties and mu-
nicipal and private corporations have in
CURED enormous debts with reckless dis
regard Of the serious realities Of payday.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FROM A
DEMOCRATIC STANDPOINT.

The dissolution Of the Republican party,
however Is not To be laid at the door Of Mr.
Hayes. II was the inevitable fate Of a party
whose mission was ended Of an ephemera ofganl
II was not the Southern policy Of Mr.. Hayes that
practically brought the Republican party to All
end The work has been III progress for years

negro could not always last They have sus.
tained the party twelve years Nothing les than
a miracle like that which multiplied the loayes
aud fishes could enable 1t to feed on them longer
The passions Of war for time could sweep every
thing before them but all wars must end. The
fate of the negro, "the romance Of our history
could enlist millions OF hearts, but the law has
done all II can for the negro, and the Republican
party has become either his master or, IN effect his
enemy It's usefulness Is ended but lts destruction
was not accomplished by the surrender OF two

longed. ItwM longer process THE slow poison

qualification of The Republican party was complete

not too large for his pocket aud the people OF this

Three Bashi .IazOuks the other day, In their

soldier. They determined to bury it, and
were on the point of placing 1t in hurriedly-
dug grave, when the Russian came to his
senses, and observing their intention, re-
marked that he was not dead. They looked
at him for few seconds when one of them
remarked, Really, you Russians are such
horrid liars that 1t is impossible to believe any
thing you say. We found you here dead, so
you must be buried" and they buried him.

From the Baltimore Garette:
Mr. Rlaine did well to n

Mr.. Blaine did well to avoid q fight In his
convention, for there were strong indications that
the Hayes party in the convention were In sutii-
cicnt force To make the fight disastrous To Mr.
Blaine The "stslwart'' Republicans that Mr..
Blaine pointed At with pride showed decided lean
ings toward the hesh.pots Of the Administration.
Even now Mr. Blaine Is In great danger OF getting

for Governor, but will go on and indorse Mt.

IT is estimated that at least a dozen States

From the IL, Louis Globe Democrat:

In connection with the proposed division Of

From the New York Tribune:

1t begins to look as II Mr.. Blaine will have
more than enough to do to manage his party In his
