EVERY department and bureau at
Washington has been thoroughly can
vassed for subscriptions to the Republi-
can campaign fund, as If 10 illustrate
HAYEs's civil service order of June %,
1877, which declared "No assessment
for political purposes on officers or sub.
ordinates should be allowed" The
methods for raising money are precisely
those which were practiced under GRANT.
3 NOTWITHSTANDING the dismal howlings
Of the Republican journals the Soldiers
Orphans Home runs along as usual and
is prospering. The institution now con.
tains 5eS inmates, and not single one
has been dismissed to comply with any
requirement Of the law about which so
much ado has been made by Radical
leaders. Nothing so we'll illustrates the
poverty Of the Republican party in the
way of available political capital as the
persistent and parrot.like utterances on
this subject. 1t is clear case of much
ado about nothing.
ACCORDING to the New York Herald
the settlement, made by the Congress at
Berlin, is not satisfactory. It says
"All the populations involved in the re-
cent settlement made at Berlin are dis
contented, and no government is pleas
ed with the results of the Congress if
we except the British government
These discontents and dissatisfactions
do not seem to be good basis for per
manent tranquility, and it is not easy to
say but in the struggle now actually on
foot some one of these many suscepti-
bilities may be touched in a way that
will lead to an extension of the circle of
hostilities."
