AS the debate on the political features
of the appropriation bill draws to close
the Democratic members OF the senate
and house are beginning to discuss the
proceedings that are to follow. They
have been in hopes that the president
might approve the army bill with the
clause prohibiting the presence of troops
at elections. and that with this much sc
cured they would be able to find grount
of compromise on the supervisors and
jury clauses of the Legislative bill. Thi!
hope seems to be fading out. 1t is no
probable that anything will be decided
upon until the vetoes are sent in.

The protracted period of hard times in
England has driven a large portion OF
the money of the kingdom into London
1t is flooded with idle money because
the owners of the money can find no EN-
ployment for it. 1t cannot be put into
the crippled foreign trade hurt by Amer
lean competitor. 1t cannot be safely in
vested in domestic industries infested by
strikes and hurt by competition from the
outside. There is no confidence; there
Is q sense of insecurity; the policy ofth'
government is mistrusted; the banker,
are not depended upon, and so LondoI
is overwhelmed with accumulations o
idle money.

Here's something from the Inter Ocean
that suits us exactly, and hits the nail
square on the head. If there is anything
Grant hates it Is toadyism and snobism
The humbugs who are meditating a
run across the continent to meet General
Grant upon his return could do nothing
more distasteful to the general. The
people upon the Pacific coast will give
him a royal welcome, and the men OF
states this side of the Rocky Mountains
can well afford to stay at home and at
tend TO their business, and, if they de
sire, Join in the enthusiastic welcome
when he comes. A few carloads Of
bummers running toward the west on
such mission would not command any
large admiration from General Grant oil
the American people.
