NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Mr.. HAYES is literally without friends
in the party that elected him.-Ne'0 lorE
Times
When thieves fall out then prepare
for squalls.
THE payroll of this Legislature foots
up about 100000. Whist has the State
got to show for it2-Spr1ngieLd ReP'5t'-
can.
And ye. the Republica" pitches into
the Ohio Legislature, and it didn't
cost near that much money but did is
duty.
The subject OF song at the White
House tomorrow will be China.
"Why should we start and fear to die,
What timOrOus worms We mortals are
- Washington Post.
We are not sure whether the song will
relate to China, but there's no doubt it
will refer TO Potter cry Of some kind.
BEN. BUTLER is said to be losing his
grip. We hope Hayes will find 1t. He
needs something OF the kind.-St. LOUIS
Globe Democrat.
No man with q sparkle Of sense cares
whether the name OF our president IS
Tllden or Hayes; but every man who 10
honest wishes to see the president the
people elected enter the White House.

THESE Republicans insist that such an
inquiry can have no other effect, and
must therefore have had no other pur-
pose. Yet the Republicans in 1869 in.
sisted that the power to investigate Pres
idential frauds was essential to the ma
tionsl existence.-N. Y World.
Or course the country will not allow
any movement for disturbing Mr..
Hayes's tenure of the White House to
make any real progress. The public
won't swallow the campaign manifesto
Of the Republican congressional commit
tee at single gulp, but it will keep
close eye on events at Washington
Springfield Republican.
The refusal of the Radicals of the Cal
iphste OF Cameron 10 endorse Hayes may
be cited as another instance Of the singu-
lsrly good luck that seems 10 follow That
eminent receiver of stolen goods. An
Endorsement from that quarter just at this
time would have been very unfortunate.

Wool matters for the approaching sea-
son are in no way fsttering. The east
ern manufacturers are very indifferent
They have no enc oursging market for
the sale of their fabrics; wooden goods
are very cheap, and they cannot touch
wool at former prices. Wool buyers say
there Is no doubt the market will be very
dull, and prices will range from % to SO
cents per pound.-NobLe County Ohio.
Press.
Mr. HAYES IS worried over these Flor.
ida developments, and very considerably
so, and has done ell he could to keep an
Investigation resolution out of the House,
directly and indirectly. 1t can be proven
that, during the past three weeks, he has
requested more than one Southern Dem
Ocrst TO use all the efforts in his power to
prevent further agitation of the matter,
1t can be shown, also, that very close
friends of the administration have made
promises of Office to certain Southern
gentlemen, provided they could persuade
their representatives to vote mo" on this
resolution, and it is fact that three
fourths of all the talk heard about the
hotels to-day in advocacy of dieting up"
on Hayes, comes from persons who ex-
pect to be paid for 1t by office or other
wise, in case Mr.. Hayes passes over the
stream safely Washington Letter to
