Only on three days of the month did the

THERE was small increase of the public
debt during February. AS no political cleo

expect to see no perceptible diminution in
our debt up to the close of the summer. It
won't do, you know, to eoonomize when that
economy can't be used for political effect.

THE POLITICAL HOROSCOPE.

Grant.
New York Special to Chicago Times.
There are many evidences that in this
State Tilden's star as the next Democratic
candidate for the Presidency is in the as
cendant His friends are talking good
deal, and briefly stated, their argument is as
follows: The Presidential election is likely
to turn on the State of New York. In view
of last Noyember's election it is evident that
no Democrat can carry the State without his
assistance, and, if his claims are disallowed
by the next Democratic national convention,
he will maintain an attitude of neutrality to-
ward it's candidate and cause, and the mana
gers that have ignored him will be ignored
and quietly permitted to carry New York if
they can. Tiiden treated John Kelly to this
dose last November. The result was de-
feat along the whole line for the Democrats
OF this State. Besides his strength in this
State he is believed by the mass of Demo
cratic voters throughout the country to have
been wronged, aud the sentiment of the
party is daily growing more favorable to him.
He is also wealthy and is willing to bear
large part of tie expenses of the campaign.
Talk of this sort as this early day suggests
the propriety that his friends of the party
and of the press are trying to manufacture
sentiment in his behalf.

And 1t Is greatly to be doubted whether the
journal editor ever had the root of the Democrat
ic gospel IN him. He is said lately to have traced
back his pedigree, finding that his father was a
wing and his grandfather was a tederalist of the
Hamilton stamp, those who wanted a sort Of re-
publican government in which the Mistocracy
should rule. His relapse it would thus seem is
owing to the blood Finding no federal or whig

SENATOR THURMAN.
Reasons Why He Should Not be Allowed
to Retire from Public Life.
From the New York SUM-

@@E - $3.50 NNA"N
The friends of Senator Thurman in
sist that he shall not be put on the
retired list at the expiration of his
senatorial term, March 3, 1881. For
a man who has just turned the corner
of sixty six years he is hale and vigor-
GUS physically, and his strong mind is
wholly %unclouded. .Misled by ambi-
ton, by bad counsel and by false
appearance, he gave way on the
financial question and was beaten in
Ohio. Perhaps if he had consented to
stand as a candidate for governor, the
result might have been different for
although he yielded in some degree to
the policy of the advocates Of soft
money, and thus sacrificed position.
he never went the length of Ewing
and the infationists, and always re-
served for himself a corner for the
stool ofrepentance. On all other sub
jects which have agitated the country
for the last ten years Mr.. Thurman
has rendered great service and de-
serves the best recognition. Mr..
Thurman is too valuable a man to be
thrown out of public life at a time
when the questions with which he is
most familiar, and in the discussion of
which he has earned great reputation,
are to be pressed with uncommon in
huence upon congress. Nothing is
clearer in the near future than that
the combination representing corporate
power will demand legislation in
their interest with the advent
of the new congress in 1881. Mr..
Huntington, on behalf of the Central
Pacific railway, has publicly announc-
ed his intention to circumyent the
recent judgment of the Supreme
Court affirming the validity of the
Thurman act by repeal Of that law.
This bold notice is the voice of all the
powerful corporations and rings en-
gagged in a common cause that are now
shouting for a restoration Of Grantism
and for a third term. Looking for
ward to the coming contest between
the corporations and the people, the
sorvicOa Of Mr.. Thurman are needed
in Congress, and a movement Il on
foot to send him 70 the House Of Rem
resentatiyes from the Columbrs
district, where he resides. That dis
trict is now Democratic. and thoncb
the new Republican legislature Viii
doubtless gerrymapder the state. il is
questionable If they can change its
political character. MI. Thurman is
said to be averse to this suggestion.
but he should bear In mind that John
Quincy Adams, after having been
President, considered it an honor to
represent his own people in the House
of Representatives. Mr.. Thurman
served in the House thirty four years
ago. A generation has passed away
since then, but he Is still strong, clear
headed, able to do good work. and
well equipped for the great battle of
popular rights against corporate AFRO
gance. Such men cannot be spared
from congress at a time like the
present.
