industrious Turkish-bath proprietor and one
poor but honest furniture-maker.
Mr.. John Peters, of Baltimore is justified
in his indignation, though hardly in his way
of uttering it. He is disguised at finding all
" the crazy men of New-York produced be-
fore the Hewitt Committee as representative
American mechanics, and thereupon charges
Mr.. Hewitt with the deliberate doing OF this
thing, going so far as to express muscular
opinion that that distinguished gentleman is
"a fraudn Of course, Mr.. Hewitt is not re-
sponsible for the voluntary appearance before
his committee of lunaties who would fill the
newspapers with their bowls if they were de-
MED hearing, and the Baltimore labonng-
man threw away his postal card, so t2r as the
chairman of the Committee is concerned. But
it will not be lost on the public, nor Will the
investigation be lost on the workingmen.
They have learned what a precious set OF
humbugs the people are who ale making most
of the noise about the wrongs OF labor, and
the public is in fair way now to learn what
the real wOrkingmen think of their fraudulent
representatives.
Secretary Sherman's speech is important as
a defence of the policy of resumption by
its special champion and official. exponent.
He well declares this the most important
question of the canvass, and asks whether
the people, after they have tOiled near
to the summit of this Hill Difficulty, will
abandon the effort and suffer themselves 70
be carried back again to the beginning. 1t is
impossible to indicate here even the line of
the argument of the elaborate and thorough
exposition which Mr. Sherman makes of
the good effects of Resumption and the
evil effects of backward policy The pas
sages in which be deals with Senator Thurmans
recent secession from the ranks of hard-money
men is far more convincing than Mr.. Thur
man Will care to have it. Perhaps nothing
in this series of refutations goes so
straight to the mark as the Secretary
answer to the Senator's affected fear
of the money power He says: Party
organization is infinitely more powerful for
combination than the money power. My
own experience in Office enables me to say
" that if you convene ten bank presidents you
O. will have ten different opinions, while party
organization brings even Judge Thurman
"and General Ewing on the same plat
form. "-What the Secretary has to say
concerning the Democratic conspiracy to con-
vert Louisiana from her Republican ways by
processes Of terrorism, concerning the sec
tiORal spirit of party which relies upon the
Solid South for existence, and concerning the
Presidents policy and the labor question, will
he widely read as the hest Thought of q trusted
Republican leader.

Congressman Foster took occasion, in his
Springfield speech, to amplify his recent re-
marks about the Southern policy, which at
tracted so much notice. He sustains the
President, upon grounds of principle as well
as of necessity, but charges that the Southern
Democracy, while besavering him with praise,
was quietly consolidating its own power for
the conquest of the National Government;
and believes that $50 long as the menace Of
"a solid South exists, it is the duty Of the
North TO continue to meet it with the most

The intimatlOn given in England that the
Canadian Parliament is at liberty to make the
best terms it can with this country in regard
to a customs union or reciprocity treaty, Will
remove any misgivings which may be felt
in the Dominion, that Great Britain would not
permit the admission of American goods on bet
ter terms than her own, in order TO gain recip-
rocal advantages. The British wisely discern
that the Canadians Will sooner or later place
self-interest first, and will not allow senti-
mental considerations tC stand in the way Of
material gains.
The reports to which we called attention
some time since respecting che condition Of
the men who were sent from Philadelphia to
Brazil to work on the new railr0ad, seem to
DO confirmed by the news given in our Wash
ington dispatches. Several of these men have
been brought back, but the state of
those who remain Is represented as most
deplorable Frustrated with sickness and
without decent food, they are surely objects
of pity. But it should be pity that wlll act in
their behalf. and also inquire into the respOn-
sibihty of those who brought them to this
pass.
The rule which has by this time grown
familiar, that the wOrkingman's political cham
plon shall never be q workingman, was care
fully observed by the nharmOnious Harmon
ling Committee. The majority have selected
seven men TO represent New-York City in the
State Committee of the Nationals, and the
minority have selected another seven. On the
minority list the occupations of the appointees
are stated, and thus we learn that the
delegation contains one hOrny-handed
lawyer, one hard-wOrking hOtel-keeper,
and one rugged son of toll who
sets himself down as a builder, beside cabi-

There was a FumOr when the Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the XVIII Ohio District was
made temporarily llustrious by being nominated
on the 1,255th ballot, that he was a hard money
man, who would confound his party by voting like
a man of sense when he reached Washington. This
seems TO have been entire mistake, for he has de-
fined his position. and it is as bad as it could be-
He is in favor of tbe unlimited issue Of silver and
declares that he stands with Senator Thurman
squarely on the Ohio platform In fact he is an en-
thusiastic Thurman man, for he knows man who
has more admirers than the Ohio Senator, and he is
sure he is the first choice of the people Of
tho state for President. He thinks it would be
great qualification 10 every Democrat to yindicate
Mr. Tden by a reelection, but the same thing can
be done and the interests and well-being of the
country served better by electng Thurman. Per-
haps it may to tho country that ITS interests
and well-belng can be best promoted by electing
neither one, but by putting INTO its highest Office
some man whose record is not composed mainly of
cipher dispatches. or of credtabe speeches which
he himself declares TO be lies.

Mrs. Mary s. Oliver has sent to us a longl docu-
ment purpOrting TO give an account of her alleged
relations with ex-senator Simon Cameron, and has
given the awful notice that this is only the intro
duction to a series of weekly letters which she pro-
poses to furnish. We do not know anything about
Mrs Oliver and her relations to ex-senator Cameron,
save what she tells US herself. On the strength of
that communication we conclude that she is an adj
ventures and that her purpose is TO induce whoever
chooses to purchase the dirt she has TO sell to
become a kind of silent partner with her
in the business of Matchmaking Mr.. Cameron
the newspaper to do the work and she 20 take the
money Tins is all that think needful to say
concerning Mrs Oliver. The general subject, how
ever of the use made by blackmailers of the news
paper press is a fruitful one. Whenever any dis
reputable woman chooses TO start a dirty story
about herself and some conspicuous public man, she
at once counts that practically one-half the press Of
the country will act as her allies and eflici-
ent agents IN promoting her blackmailing
scheme. That is TO say, she assumes that any
newspaper which is in any way hostile to promi-
nent politician will Jump at the chance to print
disrcputable story about him. Knowing this she
goes to the politician and threatens him with the
publication Nine times out of ten, whether he is
Innocent or guilty. the threat is equally effective.
IT, however, the intended victim does resist, she
can make her publications, raise tremendous
hue and cry about it, and then try to be bought off,
Cases like this are constantly occurring, and the
press Of the country will deserve more respect when
n declines to aid blackmalcrs by standing ready
to swallow credulously and proclaim with lungs Of
brass any nasty story about political opponent
which any nasty woman chooses TO start.

Although the approaching removal of Theodore
Thomas seems to have cast sort of blight upon the
musical season, the Winter entertainments in opera
house and concert room promise in reality to be
particularly interesting. The plans for Italian
opera are attractive than they have been Tor

of presenting works with an attention to detail
and care in preparation that have unfortunately
not been common IN New-YOrk, so that we
may reasonably expect under his management

company is certainly good one. Our young eoun-
trywoman, Miss Minnie Hauk, who has earned q
valuable reputation since she went abroad, comes

of the last London season, and she Will nave

which even Patti and Albani, singing there
at the same time, could not eclipse; and

The most notable event in the concert room will be
the appearance of Wilhemi whose beautiful and
sympathetic violin playing is certain to be highly
appreciated here. The concerts of the Phllhar-
monte Society will be awaited with considerable
curiosity. There is no reason to suppose that the
work to which this estimabe association has de-
voted itself for nearly forty years viii be inter
rupted by the necessity of finding n new conductor
