The announcement by SEQ. W. Childs
of the Philadelphia Ledger. that General
Grant viii not accept the presidency OF
the Nicarauguan Canal Co., if it means
anything, is an announcement that Grant
is to be forced on the Republican party as
the presidential nominee next year. This
should occasion no surprise, for certainly
the most ordinary observer ought to be
able to properly understand the festivities
in Grants honor. 1t has been and is now
asserted that the receptions are non par
TITAN; that politics has had nothing to do
with the series of ovations to the silent
man, but this is all bosh. Such men as
Childs, Borie. Babcock, Belknap, Robson
and others of the '.old crowd" are not the
men to be idoliziDg man for mere pur-
poses of paying tribute, unless it bring
suitable reward. From the commencement
TO the present time, the Grant receptions
have been managed and controlled by the
same old crowd wke were enriched on
government plumber during Grants term,
and should he be the nominee. they will
be his most active supporters, and 1t cleo
ted his chosen advisors. A return to
Grautism means another term of ring rule
in all departments of the government.
Whisky thieves, revenue robbers, Indian
rings, and custom house thieves will
flourish as in the last four years of Grant,
and instead of being the greatest govern
ment on earth. it would be run 10 the in
terest of horde of political plunderers. be
side which even the last term of Grant would
be respectable. A third term of GraDtism
means term OF unparalleled corruption,
joObery and high handed political knavery.
How do the people relish the outlook?

LET WE'LL ENOUGH ALSuE

Business is prosperous, growing more
so every day. There is activity in all
departments of industry. and labor gener-
ally, commands better equivalent than
since 1878, when the panic paralyzed
business all oyer the country. The present
improved condition of business is unques-
tionably due to the measures of the DEM
ocratic congress in remonetiziDg silver. and
by the law prohibiting the retiring of the
greenbacks, thereby aiding resumption by
insuripg a double coin standard and
sound naper currency for commercial pur
poses. Now that prosperity is prevalent,
there cannot be too much care exercised
in shaping the financial policy of the gov
eminent Reverses now. would bring
ruin and chaos to commercial and industri-
al pursuits, and disaster to the country.
There never was time iu the history of
the government when our. finances needed
as able management as now, and no step
should be taken involving a change from
the present policy without careful deliber
alton and extreme caution. The most
eminent fnanciers of both the Democratic
and Republican party differ as to the
proper course to pursue, and with large
majority of the Democratic members of
congress, there seems to be desire to let
affairs remain as they are, at least until
time has determined beyond chance, the
stability of our present prosperity. This
seems the better plan, and until it is estab-
lished beyond doubt that the business
revival now in progress is not mere tran
silent wave, but substantial reaction of
trade, the finances had better remain un
disturbed. The natural laws of trade will
work out solution to this financial prob
lem, eventually, and until then. let well
enough alone.

The walking~match now in progress at
New York has given the book makers an
excellent opportunity 20 rob the half-witted
admirers of the tramping fraternity who
exist in greater numbers In Gotham than
in any other city in the world. From the
start these genteel bandits offered heavy
odds against the favorltes, and the chance
to make little money appearing ito be
unusually good, many improved the op-
portunity to go their bottom dollar" on
the men known to be the best. On the
first two days the book-keepers took IN
upwards of $4,000, aud when this sum
had been banked, the three walkers who
enjoyed the public confidence suddenly
retired. One had lame leg, another q
dead father to bury, and another weak
ness in the stomach. The infatuated
idiots who put up their money expecting
to receive a rich return have just discover
ed that they have been swindled.
