THE DISTRICT GoYERNMENT,-Con
gress passed bill providing permanent
form of government for the District of
Columbia. The universal suffrage princi-
pie has been excluded, the solid people of

States Treasury is to pay one-half the ex-
pense Of the new District Government
There is to be no delegate to Congress and

Hon. Samuel J. Randall will be brought
forward as candidate for President, in
1880, it is said, by the Manhattan Club,
of New York IF elected, we think it
safe to say that he would have the cour-
age, and would inspire his followers with
the same quality, to see that he was duly
installed in the Office. lie would not rest
his case in the hands of a Hewitt.

Speaking of the collegiate term "com-
mencement,' the Baltimore Sun says, that
''to outsiders it seems rather paradoxical,
as it is the end of the college course" but
in the proper college understanding it is
to begin or enter upon life, all that pre-
coded being only preparatory. Hall gives
it as simply the commencement Of the pew
college term.

What sort of yarn is that which re-
presents that Gov. Carroll don't want the
9TH Regiment to go into camp alta greater
distance from Baltimore than two hours

and does the Governor intend to rely, next
time, on Maryland troops, instead of call
ing on the Federal Executive? The Fifth

been brought up to such state of eff

In 1916 there was frost every month
during the year, and farmers wore over
coats in their harvest fields, and the wealth
err was decidedly cool during the entire
year. The wheat crop was abundant; the
com crop an almost total failure; the potato
crop large, 1t was known as the cold
summer.
The summer of 1886 was nearly as cold
as that of 1916. There was frost every
month in the year; there were 178 days
of east wind and rain and the only sum-
mer weather occurred on the first fourteen
days of September, when the mercury in
the thermometer ranged up to 930.

The Senate has been always considered
the breakRater against the extravagant
legislation of the House. But at the late
session, and at the two preceding sessions,
it was the spendthrift branch of our ma
tional legislature. 1t loaded down the
Sundry Civil bill, which is sort Of legis-
!ative omnibus constructed to carry unsa-
worry jobs at the close of every session,
with between four and five millions of ex-
tras, two-thirds of which are personal, and
could not have been carried independently
on their own merits. More than twelve
millions of dollars, it is said, have been
appropriated at this session by combina-
tions, which are wholly without excuse in
the present condition of the finances and
of suffering industry.

THE CALIFORNIA ELEcTIoN.-Both
the Republican and Democratic parties
have been brought to grief in California
by the anti Chinese party which is called
there the "Kearneyite" or "W orkingman's
party" The living issue has swept the
State, and the new State Constitutional
Convention is in the hands ofthe anti-C Chin
csc leaders. There can be no doubt that
the laboring classes suffer great deal from
the competition of "Chinese cheap labor"
The Chinese habits are filthy; their dwell
ings are dens; their vices abominable, their
modes of life wretched-but very cheap.
Living cheap they can underworld the more
expensive American laborer 1t is really
a fight for existence. The State Consti-
tuition will now probably be recast so as to
drive them out of the country. 1t is diff
fcult however to do this without asserting
a state sovereignty doctrine as strong as
that of the seceeding States before the
war. The problem will be watched with
great interest

Repeal It,

When that body reassembles next De-
cember, will not Congress put hook In
the nose of William Tecumseh Sherman,
(who threatens to become military die
tator,) by repeating his title and abolishlng
his salary, reducing him to tie rank OF a
General, or to the position he held before
he succeeded Grant as General OF the
Army of the United States, with a bloated
salary of S13, 800, out of all proportion to
the service he renders. This title and
salary but serve to make him imperious
and overbearing, and forgetful of the pro-
prieties of his position. Abolish both to-
gether. 1t was mistake in Congress to
establish this title and affix to it so large
salary. 1t is we'll calculated to turn the
head of the incumbent, and Sherman's
head has certainly been turned by it.
Congress should look after him, when it
reassembles.

Editorial Politensss.

A Philadelphia correspondent of the
New York World complains of its use of
the formal preface of "our esteemed con-
temporaries, when that journal has occa-
sion to criticise the opinions of its contem-
poraries. In publishing the note of its
correspondent, that journal takes occasion
to say:
s'If other people have given up using civil
ity we shall not follow bad example. Does
our correspondent prefer the practice of call
ing each other liars and scoundrels which
prevails still among newspaper men in some
parts of our happy country? AS we have al
ready explained, it tends to GOODNESS OF Judg-
ment for editors to assume something of the
wise professional formalism of lawyers, doc.
tors and clergymen. Able counsel speak of
each other in court as 'smy learned brother,
'sthe eloquent counsel for the defense" s'my
venerable opponent" Physicians are always
ssmy learned brother" at consultations, and
ministers are not less polite. Even in their
bitterest contests the members of these pro-
LESSONS preserve the appearance of mutual
respect, and with it the reality of selfrespect.
Among them all the man who lapses into bill
lingsgate loses caste. There is always tacit
assumption that something is due to the cloth.
Why should editors behave like Doors and
rufians any more than lawyers or doctors or
clergymen? When we say sour esteemed
contemporaries we mean just as much as
and no more than members of Congress mean
when they call each other "honorable mem
bers." There need be nothing sarcastic or
insincere about this pollteness.

The brig Confederate, with cargo of coal,
while lying off Briar Island, N. b., at two
o'clock on Sunday morning, was run into and
cut in two by the bark Antwerp. The latter

found its way back. Five of the Confederate's
Grew escaped by catching ropes thrown from

the CAPTAIN and two of the men perished The
Confederate was from Philadelphia.
