PITH OF THE PRESS.

| iots
New York Tribune (Rep.): After all, that
cipher investigation doesn't seem to be
raging with uncomfortable violence
Syracuse Herald Qnd.): Wendell Phillips
continues to lecture ON the Lost Arts"
among which he probably now includesthe
art of convincing the people of the advan-
tages of fiat money.
New York Star (Dem.) Murat Halstead's S
advocacy of John Sherman as the Republi-
can candidate for the Presidency, is now
believed to be bid on his part for for
eign mission under the forthcoming Demo-
cratic Administration.
Philadelphia Times Qnd.): 1t is mere
coincidence that the man who knows more
about the forgery of the Louisiana cleo
toral certificate than anybody else, but will
not open his mouth to tell, is confidential
clerk in the Treasury Department under
John Sherman.
Pittsburg Telegraph Qnd.p: What vol
luminous correspondence the members of
the Legislature must have! Each receives
one hundred dollars worth of stamps from
the State at the opening OF the session. If
| this amount is ia three-cent stamps, the
honorable gentlemen must write 1888 let
ters in few months to use them up.
Chicago News Gnd): The nomination of
Gen. John A. Logan by the Republican
caucus at Springfield last night marks an
era in Illinois politics. 1t is an event of no
ordinary significance. 1t is the elevation
of good idea-the determination of u bad
one. 1t is the triumph of decency and
virtue over close combination of all the
baser elements.
Boston Post (Dem.): 1t would be great
saving of time and expense if the Teller
Committee would decree as proved in ad-
vance what Mr.. Blaine wants to establish,
for the jerks crowd can find all the wit
nesses needful to prove anything. If lying
had called down the judgment of heaven,
as did Sodom's sins on that city, salt heaps
would be amazingly plentiful upon Ameri-
can soil.
Albany Argus (Dem.): What the South
needs is change of political administers
ton. The junction of Democratic forces
which can effect that change is, of course,
indispensable. We are satisfied that it sees
that what it needs is not any more Repub-
licansm. Hard money is the principle,
and the only one, to carry that part of the
North which. with the South, can effectuate
the needed change in administration. A
Democratic and a hard money alliance is,
therefore, essential 10 the South. And a
word to the wise ought to be sufficient.
New Orleans Democrat: Notwithstanding
the weather, New Orleans is showing a
very good health record just now.
Yesterday, for instance, the books of the
| = l.
eight deaths and twenty-four births-in
three instances twins. As all the deaths
must be recorded, and as the births on the
other hand are seldom all recorded, this is
a fine showing indeed. There is not city
in the Union whose health returns show as
many births as deaths, yet yesterday the
births exceeded the deaths in this city 200
per cent. The births are in excess also for
the entire week.
New York World (Dem.): Our esteemed
cotemporary, the Cincinnati Enquirer,
agrees for once in a way with Mr.. Wendell
Phillips, in saying that "those in favor OF
currency reform should come down to the
one important issue and stick to it if they
wish to succeed, and that issue is the re-
sumption by the Government of its author
ity. to the exclusion of all else, to issue
World also says amen. But the only money
or currency which the Government of the
United States can lawfully issue out of its
Treasury is coined money. By all means
let the Nation straightway resume its aE
thority and sovereignty!
New York Times (Rep.): The standards
by which public men are tried have stead
ily risen during the last seven years, and
it must be said, that Senator Conkling has
not risen with them. We Shope and be
lieve that the political morality of the mex
seven wears will show scale of elevation
even greater than it has done since the fal
of the Tweed Ring 1t remains to be seer
whether Mr.. Conkling can place himself ir
advance of this movement, instead of lag
r ring behind It; whether he will emerge
from his second term in the United States
Senate a mere jaded political hack, or ont
of the foremost and greatest figures in tht
public life of his country.
Brooklyn Eagle Dem.): Mr.. Tilden wa
, elected President in 1875; Mr.. Hayes wa
3 not. Mr.. Hayes has the office, and he oh
tained it through conspiracy entered int
before the election and for the purpose i
' succeeded in accomplishing. These are tn
t "bottom facts in the great Presidential
i
= wires since the invention of the telegraph
can not change them. The question is pre-
t sented to the Democracy in the first in
0 stance: What are they going to do abou
: it in 1880? Their answer to this question
:, will be submitted to the people at large, an
d if the issue is fairly presented to them W
Y entertain no doubt about their verdict
