It is bad enough for the young
man at the picnic to sit down on
the custard pie, but his agony Is
only made perfect when he backs
up against the sapling here he
hung his coat TO find. that the
calves have chawed up both tails
and one sleeve thereof. That is
wha. makes him, in bitterness OF

Secretary might become, the people
could only get them IN circulation again
when their REISSUE, In his opinion,
would not endanger resumption.
We have already increased our bond-
ed debt el20,O0O.OOO TO aid resumption.
The Senate amendment gives the Secre-
tary new power and facilities to increase
liz indefinitely for that purpose. We
have already contracted our currency
| $75, 900, 600 for resumption. This amend
ment gives him new power and facili-
| ties to contract il. II Is, therefore. only
10 dangerous and pcrnicious enlargement
Of the powers for mischief conferred on
the Secretary by the Resumption Law.
But there is still further objections to
this amendment. III resumption shall
break down, as am thoroughly con-
vinced il will, gold will mount TO high
premium. wonld not be surprised TO
see IL go TO 90 per cent. above par in
Igrcenbacks. Suppose II does then we
will be selling per cent. coin bonds for
grcenbacks worth but sixty-six and two
thirds cents on the dollar in coin, thus
repeating in effect the 500 bond swindle.
II we concur IN the amendment strik-
ling out all or our bill after the cnacting
clause, we abandon our demand for the
repeal Of the resumption scheme. That
demand was not made first by us, but BY
the people and whatever changes may
have recently came over this House, the
people still demand ii more unmistaka-
bly, and vchemently than ever. The
eight months during which this bill
slept III the hostile hands Of the Senate,
have been the most caIamitous ever en-
dured by the American people. Their
business is being ruined, their fortunes
swept away, their very means Of subsis-
tance stolen by the cunning dcviltry of
this scheme Of resumption, scheme
which not one In ten Of its intelligent
promoters believes can result in pcrma
nent specie payments, and the only ccr-
tain effect Of which Is the robbery Of the
many and the enrichment OF the few
through an enormous decrease in the
prices Of the commodities and increase
in the purchasing power Of money. Let
US accept no substitute for the repeal OF
this most iInpracticable and destructive
law. Let us stand for repeal until the
Senate and the President yield 10 the
voice Of the people.

WASHINGTON CITY advices report that
the secretary of the treasury has de
cided upon Il reorganization of the
bureau of statistics the coming month.
Some curiosity has been expressed in
regard to the delay in the reorganization,
which was SO strongly urged by the
commission of the treasury department,
on the ground of extensive abuses in the
bureau, but the secretary has delayed
action because of Il pressure of other
business DIR. Young, the chief of the
bureau, has prepared lengthy answer
to the charges against him, which he
mas submitted to the secretary. This
will not, it is learned prevent his re-
moval, and it is probable that one Of the
treasury officials will succeed him. 1t
is believed that Professor Francis A.
Walker, of Yale College, who once held
the office for year, would get it now
ifhe would accept it.

THE finance statement for the last
quarter Of the year 1877 will show a
greater number Of failures than any
similar period since the war. The last
three months OF 1877 have been more
disastrous to the business Of the coun-
try than has been witnessed in many
years. Many business men who con-
sidered themselves in reasonably good
circumstances on the first of October
will begin the new year almost penni-
less. The year 1878 begins with all
kinds of business depressed to an extent
really alarming.

THE Mexico City correspondent of
the New York World has studied out
real ingenius war scheme which he
will doubtless carry into execution inn
mediately This scheme consists of Il
grand alliance offensive and defensive
between Mexico and Spain, against the
United States. Mexico and Spain-and
we presume Spain will bring Cuba along
TO see the Americans skeedaddle-will
join IN war Of conquest against the
United States at once and will share
equally all the territory north of the
lilo Grande which they compel the
United States to cede them for the sake
OF peace. This is in brief the plan of
the Worlds correspondent and no doubt
it will work admirably as the very sug-
gestion of an alliance between Spain
and Mexico is enough To make Mr..
Hayes few subjects shake in their boots.
But this scheme is certainly discussed
and that too with an abiding faith III its
feasibility by some of the citizens of
Mexico. Since Spain has failed after
eight years in suppressing the Cuban
rebellion the chances for her to get a
share ofTAxas is not at present very
promising

TIE public might as well not credit
any Of the stories coming so frequently
over the wires from Washington, to the
effect, that important changes are soon
to occur in the cabinet. There is no
reason to believe that there will be any
change, and the stories are owing chiefly
to the fact that sensational news cannot
be found readily at present at the capi-
tal, and the newspaper reporters are eX-
pccted to say something.

Of the Mes Perces having fired the
prairies and started on another murder

is no real danger of any further out

border and those are unimportant.
