THE charge is frequently made in a GER
tain class of Democratic newspapers that
General GRANT has failed of his duty as
representative American citizen in not de-
clining the honors ofroyalty, which have been
rendered him in the Old World The truth
is, that no such honors have been rendered
to or accepted by him in the meaning i'm
piled by these charges. Even the Japanese
government made q distinction in its I'M
perial decree by which he was recognized
us simple, plain, untitled American citi-
zen, while it extended to him reception
" in all respects identical with that which
would be accorded the reigning monarch
of any European country" The japanese
coul1 not have done less, nor could they
have done more, without violating the
strict requirements of official courtesy.
They could not have abandoned the GUS
toms of their own country, which are based
upon monarchical ideas of etiquette but
they did succeed in comforting unprecedented
distinction upon the representative of the
greatest Republic on earth in their own way
and in their own manner, and at the same
| time recognized him in the most emphatic
way as plain, unpretending democrat, in
the true and non-partisan sense Of the
term

SAM CARY, of Ohio, the Greenback bolter,
who thought he saw more fodder in Il bolt
from the Greenbacl party than by remaining
therein, goes Colonel DANIELS, of this city,
two hours better in their little game of find
ing out upon how little labor people can be
fed and keep soul and body together. CARY
advocates four hours n day, while DANIELS
is represented as procloiming for two. Both
these statesmen have lived some forty or
fifty years, and it is possible that both have
been stalwart toilcrs but we think it would
trouble either or both to show that they
have averaged one hour day at practical
productive labor since they have attained
their majority. In this vast country, with
so many virgin acres courting cultivation,
and such widespread industries inviting la
Dor, to teach the doctrine of universal lazi-
ness and idleness is the most dangerous
dogma relating to individual and National
thrift and prosperity yet enunciated outside
the lunatic asylum Labor is the only in
dex to success. The lack of it is the great
est cause of our existing woes.

THE idea that millionaires are the ont
growth of the ruin and pauperism of the
masses is one that the Democrats harp upon
almost incessantly. A glance at the Demo-
cratic States, especially in the South, will
show that ruin and pouperism prevails to
greater extent among the laboring classes
therein than in any other section of the
country This fact is, of course, utterly ig-
nored by the anti-Resumption shriekors, as
is also the further fact that the Democratic
leaders of the North, including the BEL

EWING has gone to Ohio to open his cam
paign, and to avoid having lonesome time
he should have taken company with him
Those "dollars of the daddies" patriots
who have heard that he has seen TILDEN,
will OF course come around once, and but
only once, if the first turn exhausts the
bar'l, or if they do not find the cask and its
coveted contents. Then will feeling of
loneliness come over him, for he is not in
sympathy with the people. He is too fclile,
and they feel that they cannot trust him.
On the other hand it is stated that Mr..
FOSTER, who has just opened his campaign,
is having q genuine triumphal progress
through Ohio. Wherever he goes crowds
and enthusiasm await him. He attended
the Republican convention of CoshOcton
County last week, and the demonstration
made in his honor was something unprece-
dented in that Democratic stronghold.
There was procession, music, and gayly-
trimmed hall in which the convention met,
and there was no limit to the crowd and
its enthusiasm. Mr.. FOSTER made an ad-
mirable address to the convention, and q
speech in the evening in response to SER
enade. What gives peculiar zest to the
FOSTER campaign is the fact that in nearly
every locality where he holds meetings il
his triumphal round among the people
Democrats identify themselves with hi

lican party, poor EWING has been wander
