Legislature of Kentucky Is failure,
and believes the people will confirm
this view Of the matter. BY electing
a Republican Legislature?
The Chicago Journal calls the ma
tionals who held their convention at
Springfield, Wednesday, the wry-
necked party. II they would only
call themselves the cross-eyed party,
we would begin to see that Butler has
not lived in vain.-Indianapolis Neacs.
If the Indianapolis Journals pic
ture OF the new State house is correct.
the building will be too low to be
symmetrical. But the cost will not
be low. Democrats, when they have
chance at a black cat, skin it to the
tail.-Kokonlo Tribune.
The Baltimore Gazette pronounces
the action Of the Democratic House

The Galveston Nelcs contemplates
the meeting Of the Texas Democratic
State Convention in July with serious
misgivings, and declares that the po-
litical feuds, the local jealousies, the
sectional demands, and the ambitious
aspirations OF candidates, will make
the convention of 1000 delegates a
body whose possibilities for mischief
will be very ereat.

victories, the Cincinnati Enquirer, In

The use to the people OF the United
States, OF paying an unknown Ameri-
can lawyer or Acknowledgements OF
the world, Of foreign languages, OF
literature, science and art, dumb and
| i'll at ease in all the social circles in
which he finds himself, and thorough
ly conversant with nothing but "the
mechanism OF government" In his

The New York Herald, in comment
ing on Secretary Sherman's state
ment Of his financial views says: I'VE
are sorry to observe In some infiuen-
tial journals, whose zeal for sound
principles outruns their discretion, a
disposition to fall hard on the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury for his partial
concessions to the silver men in his
recent Interview with the Senate
Committee on Finance. 1t seems to
Us that Mr.. Sherman has never before
acted so wisely since he has held his
present responsible Office
The financial question seems to be
IN the eve Of a settlement that will
leave the new National party, and the
indiana and Ohio Democracy, the
laughing stocks OF the nation. The
people, long burdened with the curses
OF wild theorizing and mischievous
tinkeriDg, are demanding the finan-
cial stability which inspires confi-
dence, and which, through the re-es-
tablished confidence, will restore
prosperity to the land. The occupa-
ton OF the financial agitator Is nearly
gone.-Logansport Journal.
A Trenton, New Jersey, paper says:
"The present session Of the Legisla-
ture has made respectable the Legis-
lature OF 1875" That seems to be
about the burden OF the complaint
everywhere, that each succeeding
Legislature makes respectable all the
bad ones that have preceded. II the
people suffer, the fault is with them
selves for electing incompetent men
to legislate for them. This is one
prolific source of the misgovernment
which afflicts the country. The rem
edy lies in electing first men to
the Legislature, and we hope to see
the Republicans Of Indiana lead off In
that direction this year.-India'sapo-
