A Sample of Democratic Economy.

Commenting on the fact that ow-
ing to the limited appropriation made
at the last session of Congress there
IS a short supply of blanks for use
by the Post Office Department the
New York Times very truthfully
says: ''lfthe machinery of the Post
Office for transmitting money
orders and registered letters should
suddenly stop, the people may I'M
derstand that the Democratic House
has failed to provide the money
for that service. Last year there
was danger that this useful branch
Of the postal service must cease op-
erations on account of the lack of
printed blanks. That difficulty
was temporarily tided over; but the
same obstruction is again met. The
House Appropriations Committee
have deliberately cut down the
estimates of the Post Office Depart
ment, and the money for printing
the required blanks is nearly ex-
hausted. Meanwhile, a bill contain
ing an appropriation of $4,000 for
this purpose is pending between the
two branches of Congress, and the
Democratic managers Of the House
manifest the utmost indifference to
the condition of affairs. The fraud
ulent practice of refusing appropria-
tons for the maintenance of the leg
itimate service of the Government
is producing exasperating results.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee are pointing with pride to
the fact that they have cut down the

WHy Is THIs.-They don't like to
take there own medicine. A few
weeks ago big and loud mouthed

the "big white dollar" of the fathers,

Well, they were granted permission to

The demand from Washington has not

THE Tilton- Beecher scandal is
opened up anew by the publication
of letter from Mrs, Tilton in
which she says that all her former
denials of wrong doing with Mr..
Beecher were false. She says that
her "quickened conscience and
sense of what is due to truth and
position" lead her to now retract
what she testified to four years ago,
and she admits that she then lied.
Very many people will be apt to
conclude that she lies now, while
all will admit it is unfortunate that
this nasty business is to again come
before the public to be talked about.
Mrs. Tilton had better kept still.

In view of the frequent train rob-
berries in Texas, the Governor of that
State, In response to the solicitation of
railroad officials, has increased the re-
ward offered for each arrest and con-
viction to $1,000. 1t is high time
that some effective means should be
taken to check the outrages which
nave become SO frequent of late in
Texas. and for the better protection of
travellers and property in transit. 1t
may be that the large reward offered
will prove such an incentive to the
detectives and State constabulary that
the ,awless gangs will be broken up,
and their members run in." It is a
eonsummation devoutly to be wished.

THE bill repeating the bankrupt

A Bad Theory Poorly Defended.

The Democrat discovered that it
put its foot in by a partizan appeal
to Democrats before election to
''vote for the Democratic candidates
because they are Democrats" and
last week attempted an explanation
which it hoped would make it's
position more reasonable. AS US
ual with that paper, however, when
it is cornered, it makes false as
sumptions and lodges the real
point at issue, hoping that by throw
ing dust it may blind the eyes of
the public to its sophistry and dem
agogism. 1t contends that the
Democratic party can furnish per-
sons of sufficient honesty and intel
ligence to fill the various positions
under the city government, which
no one disputes. On the contrary
we have stated over and over again
the same fact, insisting only that
the Democrats too unfrequently
elect this class of men to office. and
that tor this they are justly open to
censure. The Democrat will not
claim, we presume, that a very
heavy draft was made this spring
upon "the honesty and intelligence"
in its party, or if it does it will find
few believers. There are very
many Democrats who would cred
ltably fill any city office, but it is
the exception and not the rule when
one of this kind is chosen. For
this reason, and because the party
is run by the bummers and incom-
petents, to the exclusion of the more
respectable and intelligent class, we
have plead for the latter to cut
loose from their party and join in
the election of the best men with
out regard to politics. It's needless
to traverse the ground again and
point out the result of the imbecili-
ty which has too often characterized
Democratic administrations. The
people are well informed upon the
subject, though the Democrat NAV
profess ignorance, and claim that
everything is as it should be. The
is not alone in its de-
nunclatlon of the recklessness and
lncapacity with which public affairs
have been managed, nor is this
feeling alone confined to our party.
Many Democrats share it fully, and
do not hesitate to admit the truth
OF all all that we have charged, and
even more. They are not OF the
llckspittle sort who believe that
scalawag Democrat should be voted
tor IN preference to respectable
and trustworthy Republican. But
the Democrat probably cannot ap-
preciate the force of this proposition.
1t is SO bigoted and intensely parti-
zan that it rolls as a sweet morsel
under its tongue anything labeled
Democratic, even though it is poi
son to the body polite, and pro-
ductive of great disaster.

That Dorkeepership.

The election Of Gen. Field as Door.
keeper of the House of Representatives
has aroused good deal of Democratic
indignation, and the mutterings do not
cease. That such brave and deserv-
ing old man as Gen. Shields should be
denied the position, that rebel might
have it, does not suit Northern soldiers
at all, nor does it please Irishmen, who
are naturally proud of their country
man who has distinguished himself in
the councils of the nation as well as
upon the battle field in two wars.
Following is an extract from the 1eIe-
phone, whose editor is Ex-senator
Barney, of Mayville, one of the
staunchest and most reliable Democrats
in Wisconsin; and we may add that it
reflects the sentiments of large and
respectable portion of the Democracy:
We are becoming somewhat disguised
with the labored effoI IS of all concerned to
.concilate" the south, and to place in
positions of honor. trust and profit those
who did their utmost to destroy the gov
eminent, in preference to its defenders
The House of Representatives has been
particularly unfortunate, to use no harsher
term, in its choice of doorkeepers. The
charges against doorkeeper Polk, and his
dismissal from that position is of recent
date, and fresh in the minds Of our readers;
but in the election of his successor, the
House deserves and has earned the con-
tempt of every union soldier. The appl
cants for the position were Gen. Shields and
Gen. Field, of Georgia. Gen. Shields was
an officer in the Mexican war, was wound
ed there, and had his arm shattered at Win
chester liz the late rebellion; while fighting
the battles of the Union. While General
Field, who is gaduate of West Point, serv.
ed through the late war upon the confeder-
ate side, and after the close of the war left
his country and entered the army Of the

We have nothing but contempt for such an
act by the democratic representatives in
Washington; and Gao assure them that,
whatever they may gain from the late rebel
element by thus trucking TO them, will be
more than balanced by what they will lose
in the north. The act is a shame for the
nation, a disgrace to the democratic party
and al insult TO every Union soldier in the
