The encouraging business indications all
over the country, strengthen the Republican
party in the confidence of the people. It is
to the financial policy which that party has
advocated and put into practical operation
that this suspicious condition of affairs is
due. With the factories and furnaces In eve
ry direction and in every State OF the Union
in active operation. labor receiving constant
employment and remuneratige returns, con-
tidence returning, and values regulated by
a nep-1auctuating currency, tits not reason
able .,that the policy and the party which
have largely alaedip bringing about these re-
suits will be rejected by tAs people who are
the beneiciaries. "A

A writer in the Alexandra Gpzette from

A writer in the Alexandria Gpzette from
Manassas, over the signature Of ''Viator,''
suggests that U. S. Senator johnson resign
and make way for a younger man. While
Senator johnson may not be regarded as a
great man, he is certainly true friend of
his State, watching her interests jealousy,
courteous to all and with character that
has not a spot or blemsh. 1t will be long
time before Virginia is represented in the
United States Senate by purer man, and
it is well enough to keep him where he is, as
long as he is willing to stay.

It's generally conceded now by both po-
litical parties, that Mr.. Foster, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor in Ohio, will
be elected by very large majority. The
extreme views of Mr.. Ewing, the Demo-
cratic candidate, on the finance question,
have caused Indifference as to his fate with
large number Of the hard money Demo
Gratis. The policy now is to work for the
Legislature, SO as secure for Mr.. Thurman a
reelection to the United States Senate.
With this view, it is stated, that Thurman
friends will sacrifice Ewing to gain the Leg
islature. But the prospect is equally gloomy
in that direction. The Republicans will,
more than likely, sweep the whole State,
eIecting not only the Governor by a large
majority, but carry the Legislature by a
very decisive vote. Mr.. Thurman is really
out OF the ring as Presidential candidate.

NEW YORK HARBoR SENSATION The
discovery just brought consp icuously to
light by the Herald that the harbor of New
York is unsafe for ocean navigation, and the
conclusive data accompanying the exposu, e
OF the fact. has excited deeper and more
widespread interest than any other CONNER
cial problem discussed for the past few years.
The evidence seems to be overwhelmin that
the harbor is shoaling rapidly, the channels
closing up and bars forming, and that the
most stringent laws are needed to suppress
the evil. The fact that New York depends
for her commercial greatness on her splen-
did bay and harbor makes the subject one Of
national Importance.

The excitement in San francisco, grow
ing out of the shooting of Rev. Mr.. Kali
loch, the Workingmen's candidate for
Mayor of San Francisco, by Mr.. De Long,
editor OF the Chronicle of that city, is the
legitimate result of the teachings of both
parties to the crime. The 6 Honorable
Bilks,'. of which the Chronicle is the organ,
is but slight modification of the Kearney
style OF politics, appealing more to the pas
sions and prejudiees Of the more ignorant
classes of citizens, than to the reason of the
more intelligent. Kearney has shown more
conservatism in the emergency than his in
cendiary speeches heretofore would have
justified, and it is to this modification that a
bloody and wide spread riot was prevented.
1t is to be hoped that the disturbance and
the cause of it. will be impressed upon the
popular mind there, and Arouse the conserva-
tive elements, irrespective Of party. to the
importance OF banding together to Eescue
the city gegernment from the threatened
control of the revolutionary classes repre-
sented By Kalloch and De Long.q

Between 800 and 400 women, employed to

number of excited women, dancing and
dashing about, with their tongues giving
