Hopefui View of the Business Future.

The Nev York Herald takes a hopeful
view of the business future, and thinks
that we are likely to get good prices this
for our abundant crops. That paper
thinks we, as a people and as a nation,
have q bright future. To show that the
nations prosperity may be hoped for,
the following table is produced:

The number Of registered votes pre-
vious to the late New York election
showed q great falling off from the
previous year. The entries were 49,
GOO as against 1888 900 last year. In 1875
there were l44.SOO names registered.
The Sun, from these premises, pro
ceeds Il say that the difference between
last year and 1875, when no disturbing
causes can be found, is looked upon as
an indication of an absolute diminu-
ton in population. This decrease is a
matter Of / 800 votes. These represent
an estimated population Of over 5000.
The same estimate on the whole num-
Der Of registered voters comedies with
the census report of 1870 in giving New
York 967 ,292 inhabitants. The decrease
is about one per cent. Of the entire pop
uiation, and this reasoning is strength
eued by the fact that European immi-
grafton has almost ceased; That empty
dwellings, both old and new, are seen
in every quarter; that the number Of
tenement house inmates has decreased,
and that the number Of beggars and
and paupers is smaller.

a sharp passage occurred in the
House of Representatives a few days
ago between Mr.. Price. of Iowa, and
Mr.. Harrison, OF Illinois, while dis
cussing the Resumption Repeal bill.
Price was advocating a single gold
standard, while Harrison was con-
tending for more and cheaper money
for the people. The debate waxed
warm and Interruptions were frequent.
At this juncture a dispute arose as to
the relative circulation per capita of
England. Germany and the United
States. Price maintained one set of
figures while Harrison contended for
another. Finally, the double-standard
advocate, by way Of q clincher, ex-
claimed with great vehemence: III
the honorable gentleman from Iowa
will drop for q moment his golden
pencil and figure for awhile with the
poor mans Faber, he will discover
that l Am correct" The figure of
speech brought down the House, and
also operated to discomht the wor-
shipper OF the golden calf. We get
these facts from the Congressional
Record, forwarded to us daily by Mr..
Wren, and for which courtesy we
hereby extend renewed thanks.

According to the New York Tribune.
Mr.. Tilden was very much amused at
the efforts of the Republican papers to
console themselves with their victory(?D
in the late elections. He spoke of the
Republican party as demoralized by
the methods employed by its leaders
to carry the last election. The con-
science OF the party, be felt sure. did
not approve OF these methods. and mad
received a shock from which it can not
recover. While looking for the speedy
disintegration of the Republican or
eanization and the certain advent of
the Democratic party to power In 1850,
Governor Tilden by no means expects
that his party will lie without a pow
erful antagonist. His idea is, that a
successor to the Republican party will
at once step into its shoes. and that the
new organiz stion will contain most Of
the men aud einbody the leading ideas
of government of its predecessor. lie
holds that there mas been q succession
OF parties running in two parallel lines
down from the time the Constitution
was framed. The two conrending or
CARNATIONS have almost always been
Of nearly equal length. The main
ideas about which they differ do not
change with the change of names. One
has always been a high-government
party, aud the other has always resist
ed all unnecessary interference by the
Government, with the affairs of the citi.
The strong passions of the war
confus ed and partly blotted out these
distinctions, but they are reappearing
again aud promise to dominate in the
politics of the future.

SOUND ADVICE.

Mr.. George William Curtis. address,
ing the Administration, says: 1T is
for the Administration to take care
that the expectations Of its friends
shall be fulfilled. The sincerity of its
support comes from the confidence
that it means what it says. and that it
has the courage of its own opinions.
If its friends have seemed to lack en-
thusiasm, it is because it has itself
seemed to be hesi.ating and reluctant.

timidity will repel friends, but they

proposition, will stand by it though
all the world besides are against il. To
hesitate abont great vital questions is
to surrender all. The President for
