THE NATIONAL TREASURY A CAMPAIGN

The NATIONAL TREASURY A CAMPAIGN
FUND FOR THE DEMoCRACY.-The Dem
ocracy, as soon as Installed as a majority
OF Congress, organized that body into one
great Democratic campaign committee,
and fastened upon the national Treasury as
a campaign fund. All its committees are
simply political or party machines. All
prosecute their Inquiries or business solely
in the interest aud for the benefit of the
Democracy. The public interest or the
amelioration OF the condition of the coun-
trv have no claim upon their labor; but
the party is all-in-ali, and thus, in ex &.
penditures tor printing, pay of members,
witnesses, clerks, and experts in the pro-
ducton OF campaign mstter, and for re-
treshnents, such as Mumm's dry wine.

payers of the nation of millions

VERY ECONoMICAL.-The Democratic
House OF Representative cut down the pay
of Government laborers and watchmen So
a month. The poor fellows had enough to
do to live on what they were getting last
year, $50 a month. But economy is the
battle cry of Democracy. OF course it
does not apply to the IS 900 year paid to
Congressman, but to the pooriy-paid and
over-worked laborers and watchmen. We
shall hear the old story from thousand
stumps about Democracy being the friend
of the workingman. 1t would be well tor
these oratorical economists to explain why
they retained their own fat salaries and
robbed the poor of IS q month.

The History of a Well Known Time.

There has recently bsen a great conflict of
authorities over the origin of 'God Save the
queen" and many have been the derivations
given to this time-honored melody. But there
exists melody, even better known, with the
history of which, not one 10 ten thousand of its
many singers and whstlers are acquainted. 1t
is known in France as "Malbrooke," in Eng.
land as HES jolly good fellow" and in
America as "We won't go home till morning"
ln Arabia it has different name; for. strange
to say, the simplest of our drinking songs has
been stolen from the Arabs, (for the use of our
street Arabs). 1t existed among them as early
as the time of the Crusades (about A, d. 11OOl.
and go one knows how much earlier. The
Crusaders soon caught the melody and set it to
words of their OVID, celebrating the deeds of a
knight named Mambron. Through an error of
Queen Marie Antoinette, who learned the tune
from nurse in the royal family, it was in
France dubbed "Malbrooke," and soon became
burlesque history of the doings of the great
duke OF Marlborough, song very much in the
humorous-pa pathetic style of our own "Lord Low

by name) cried in despair: "Give them MAJ.

tune was played by the grand orchestra, and
the result was marvellous; thrill of pleas

all was life and animation where a mo-
ment before had been callousness. Some
could scarcely refrain from dancing and hop
ping, in time with the music. Monge, the
giver of the concert, did not know the reason
OF this enthusiasm, although he found it always

fact was that it had, for centuries, been dear to

table, changing the plates and performing 9TH

the regular servants. Before admitting the
monkey to the dining room the hostess would
glance up and down the table to see if there
were any bald heads present, for the monkey

A Curious M.sapprehsnsiou.

The ignorance of Englishmen concerning
American politics would be always amusing
were it not sometimes intolerably offensive.
One of the most striking illustrations of that
ignorance is displayed by the London Times
in its comments on the correspondence
between Secretary Evarts and Lord Salisbury
relative to the fishery dispute. The Times
accuses Mr.. Evarts of throwing the United
States into ferment by publishing two Wig
orous dispatches two weeks before decisive
election so as to arouse patriotic feelings in
manner profitable to the Republican party.
Now in fact, the controversy over the
fishery question had no more to do with the
November elections than did the controversy
over the authorship of the letters of Junius
or the poems of Ossian. 1t affected
the choice of our Congressman as
little as the remonstrance of the Span
ish government against the fitting
out of Caban privateers in our ports affected
the election of the Cortes that called King
Alfonso to the throne. The fishery ques.
tion had about as exciting an effect upon
the voters as the glacial theory. Continued
injustice by England might make it a popular
grievance, but to-day the American people
take on the whole, rather more interest in
Schliemann's discovery of the hog.pens of
the Ithacan King than they do in the CORE.
spondence between the American and Brit
ish cabinets.
The London Times, is journal that has
claims to be the foremost newspaper in the
world, and it has done much to justify that
claim. But its reputation has been won by
careful collection of news and intelligent
comment upon it found everywhere except
in its account of American affairs. Its de-
cription Of the effect of the fishery dispute on
American party politics is one of the least of
the blunders it has made.

THE Albany Argus is not disposed to ex-

Congress and Assembly candidates with the
Nationals, whose prime Piles are at enmty with
everything Democratic whatsoever The Re-
camped on the Democratic ground. Thousands
of Democrats refused to abandon Democratic
principles merely because Republicans advo-
Gated as many of them as were in issue in this

THE national peculiaritv of dead-headis

THE national peculiarity of dead-headism
is brightly set forth in the following fable by
George 7. Lanigan, the fabulist of the New

dinner:

a mounting Pass to his forthcoming Ascension,
the aeronaut replied, 'Why should you care to
go up In q Balloon, when you can at will soar
to vaster Heights and gaze unshrnking at the
midday Sun?" at is not the Pleasure Of the
Trip l care for" answered the Bird of the
broad and sweeping Wing, $50 much as the
