THE TILDEN boom has received fresh
impulse at Scranton, Pa. WATrERsoN do
you hear that?
If the yellow fever does not come TO the
South this year, the duty will probably be
put back on quinine next winter It is
purely Southern experiment.
Mr. PAINTER has knocked the stulling
out of WATTERsoN by calling him "a pow
"der monkey in the rear of the Confcder-
ate army. 1t Is WATrERsoN's turn now.
No blood
THE recent seizure and condemnation of
q large quantity of American fresh meat by
the London authorities as being unfit for
food shows that this traffic is not without
its perils in hot weather.
THE attacks upon the Republican party,
which graCes the columns of the last num-
Der of the National Jicg, ought to satisfy
the public mind that it is either an migrate,
or that there is no truth in the story that
ii is supported with Republican funds.
NJ. DE LEssEPS seems to be determined
to beard the MONROE doctrine with his
Panama Canal He now proposes to iron
clad his scheme with General GRANT as
honorary president of his company Per-
haps it would be well to consult the Cen
eral on that subject before taking the thing
for granted.
MONTGOMERY BLAIR has presumed to ut
ter truth in saying that the Democrats in
Congress are unfit to lead the party, and
thereupOn the lesser fry of the Democratic
press begin to make mud pies and hurl the
scraps at him. 1t will not do to tell the
truth inside that party unless one is pre-
pared for daub.
II Senator SHARON has asked for his pay
as Senator while he has studiously alb.
stained from yielding the State his service
that he might look after his private inter-
ests, Mr.. Secretary BURCH is fully justified
in declining to yield to this Senator's re.
quest. We are reluctant to believe that
Senator SHARON has sought pay for service
that he has not rendered, or that he has
afforded the Secretary an opportunity tc
withhold it, though it is so stated.
THE eight-hour demonstration in Chicago
on the 4th of July was an average orderly
and well-behaved assemblage; but the for
eign element had the bad taste to unfurl
the red flag of communism as their banner
instead of the Stars and Stripes, which alone
should cover a procession of American cti.
zens on our national birthday, whether they
celebrate on that or any other account. W.
have but one country and one flag, and al
the people should recOllect that.
THERE is no doubt that PETER CoopEI
has determined to make public benefacto
of himself, if the ability resides under hi
jacket. He now presents the public with
plan for doing away with the noise, smoke
and dirt of the Elevated Railroads ant
that, too, without doing away with III,
roads themselyes-the cars to be worked b,
stationary power doing away with the 10
cOmotive, and propelling by an endless
chain. Such an achievement will bring in
Vulnerable blessings upon his head from thc
people lining these elevated routes. l
looks feasible on paper, but an experiment
will settle the question more definitely.
THE police government of New York cit,
should be put on humanitarian diet 1t ap
pears that when Mrs. SEYMOUR found tn
dead body Of her murdered husband he
screams secured the attendance of the DO
lice. Then she was required to accOmpan,
the dead body to the station-house; was de
MED the privilege to obtain n shawl iron
her residence to protect her from the nigh
air; was dragged or carried rudely alonJ
the streets when her strength failed her an,
she could not walk, and was addressed b.
the officers having charge of her discOur
teOusly and even disrespectfully. Thes
things being true, the humanties of the po
lice might bo improved by putting SrTIN,
BULL and his braves on that service
WE are to have free elections honest jurios
no test-oaths or soldiers at the polls, no doput
marshals or supervisors, and qunine is free O
duty. What else could be expected under tn
circumstances We pause for The NATGoNA
REPUBLICAN or one of its kind to reply
Sunday Gdsette.
When these things are all assured to th
country it will be when the Democrats hay
ceased to bull-doze and intimidate th
voters; have withdrawn their repeaters, tis
sue ballots, and ballot-box suffers from til
elections have become honest themselye
and set an example of honesty before tn
people then there will be no need of dep
uiy marshals to insure honest and free elec
tious; but until the Democrats afford {
