America for musical Instruments

highest award, without one single
exception. Their organs are now

The Washington Capital, in COM

contend with is the preponderance of
Great Columbian Oratory over mod.

its councils. 1t is gratifying TO note
the exception 10 this unhappy rule
embodied in the speech Of Senator
Hereford. We have been at some

bill during thepast week, and we fail
to find in it much more than an am

The Best Sign OF the Times.

1t strikes us that the tendency of
capital is at last turning in direc-
ton that will bring about new ac-
tivity in business enterprises. 1t is
the turn in affairs that we have long
looked for as the one condition upon
which we could have marked and
general revival in business. In 9th
er words, capital is seeking invest
ment in business. The refunding op-
erations Of the government having
closed, at least for u time, and the
chance Of easy and safe Investments
in such securities being cut of, there
is an advance in all sorts of securi.
ties that promise anything like five
or six per cent interest with any rea.
sonable guarantee of regular pay
ment: Railroad securities especial
ly, are going up with great rapidity.
And as the limited opportunity for
investment in stocks becomes less,
capitalists will be bound to put their
money into legitimate business en-.
terprises that will call the laboring
classes into activity. Money will
come out and become more generally
distributed. Every week it will be
more and more in search of employ
ment. Capitalists will soon grow
weary Of seeing it rusting, and will
be willing to take greater risks, and
when the timidity of the capitalists
is dissipated, the languor of business
will also vanish.
And just here, we think, capital.
lists will learn that they have made
a mistake in vainly waiting the re-
turn of general confidence when, if
they had been willing to take ven
lures while labor was idle and seek
ing the means of earning an honest
living at any price, they might have
launched their capital into enter
prises that would already be making
profitable returns. But now they
will all see their mistake at onte,
labor will be fully employed and
command higher wages, and business
ventures of all kinds will, Of course,
become more costly and therefore less
profitable.
But no one, unless it be the cap
italists, will have reason tocomplain
of the creation of employment for
the laboring classes, and the close
competition which the latter have so
long suffered transferred to the form
er. There is undoubtedly very
large amount of unemployed private
capital now in all the money mark.
cts in the country, which will soon
furnish work for all the idle hands
and machinery in productive way.
1t is bound to do it as a dernier re.
sort, And tits just what the country
has been waiting for. 1t is the piv-
otal point at which we may have
ocular demonstration of the revival
so long talked about. Capital has
been, or very soon will be, pushed to
the wall. 1t must now fight for
living. We have it from one of our
best Informed fnanciers of this city,
that such is the, case here in Wheel
ing, as we'll as elsewhere. The banks
are overburdened with money seek
ing employment. Capitalists are
fast reaching the conclusion that
they must make employment for their
mems or it will rust in the vaults,
And this we believe is the situation

The Democratic party is in favor
Of free elections and impartial juries,

laid the foundation ofour Government
in the enduring principles of civil
liberty had been told that a hun
dred years from that time it would

would have been incredulous. They
had more faith in the future than to
conceive of such possibility. They
lived before the invention of the re-
turning board and other Republican
devices, and actually believed that
the majority would rule this country.
The Republican party has never
been accused of being otherwise than
"stalwart" by its bitterest foes. 1t
has always been the party of war and
brute force. There was never time
when it was willing to go before the
country on its own merits, or the
merits of the principles it had for the
time being espoused. 1t has always
had to appeal to passion, and pre-
judice, and strife, for victory, and it
is SO "stalwart" still that it, fears to
trust its cause to popular vote
without the aid of bayonets at the
polls.

The Constitutional Convention was engaged
yesterday for the most part In discussing the
ordinance presented by the Committee on
Limitations, combining itself to that article
prohibiting the Legislature from passing local
or special laws for certain purposes. Two
sections of the article were adopted in addi-
ton to those already acted on. An interest
ing correspondence was presented by the
chairman OF the Committee on Contingent
Expenses between that committee and State
Treasurer Burke, relative to the amount OF
money In the treasury to the credit Of the
general fund. 1t being found that there were
only meagre collections from licenses and
other taxes on account Of widespread belief
that the Convention would take some action
looking to their abolition, resolution was
introduced in order to disabuse the public
mind OF this impression. Objection, however,
was made to its present consideration, and 1t
will probably come up for action tomorrow.
