THE editor of the Argonaut goes
strictly on the motto of "now you
see it, and now you don't" Until
the other day he was thoroughly
alive to the evils of Grantism. He
went SO far as to proclaim his be-
lief that the surest way to defeat
the Republican party would be for
that organization to declare for a
third term for Grant. For once
the editor of the Argonaut lighted
on a grave truth, but his volatile
nature has carried him away from
it before his foot was firmly planted
on solid ground. That journal is
mad on the subject of property. Its
voice bushes in obedient subser-
viency the very moment it comes
even obliquely to the consideration
of the sacred rights of the pos.
SCISSORS OF things mundane.
To it Grant looms up as
the champion of the rich. The
spectre of communism affrights it
not only from its common sense
but from its consistency as we'll. 1t
surrenders the jewel without q
struggle. These people seem to
forget that the moneyed class could
identity itself with Grant, that
Grant could Identify himself with
the moneyed class and the mon-
archists, and that both might come
to the ground with violence
which would lead them to moral
ize, in the "sweet by-and- by" on
what consummate fools they had
made of them selves. When Grant
allies himself to all the snobs of
the country, and the Republican
party prostitutes its grandiloquent-
ly announced mission into one OF
handmaiden to both. the conjoined
crowd might find itself select in its
own estimation but not numerous.
Even communism itself would be
preferable to such an appalling
combination of Whiskey, Custom
House and District of Columbia
Rings and Goldfish aristocracy.
