EckSbWrg Herald.
The underlying theory Of the so-called
Republican party is, that the people of
the United States are incapable of main
tanning peaceful, orderly, lawful govern
ment among themselves, and, therefore,
it is necessary that they should be subject
ed to the supervisory protective care Of an
authority not subject to their direct inhu-
ence or control.-SpringtGeld Register.
The whole tone of the Republican press
and orators is keyed higher than reason
warrants or thar reasoning people can
think Of, without smiling. 1t is to the
effect that a change of parties will be peril
Gus to the country. The welfare of free
countries in fact depends on changes of
parties. The story Of the decay of free
dom anywhere is the story of the too
long aud too strong control of any one
party, or of some equivalent influence IN
government. Albany Argus.
The Republicans are gradually beginning
to apprehend that the counting machinery
of the next Presidential election is in
/ the hands OF their opponents; consequent
: ly, they are shaking in their boots and
TREMENDOUSLY hoping, in the language of the
Cincinnati C0nlmercial that 'the election
> will go very positively one way or the
3 other" There is no occasion for fear;
they will get fair play. But perhaps that
is what they are most afraid of.

The Genesis of a Resolution.

Modesty becomes the man, or set of men. who drafts the resolutions of Senatorial Con- vention. This virtue was exemplified in the resolutions adopted by the Democrats of the Fifteenth Senatorial District. The Hon. G.
 H. Holister, chairman ofthe committees gentleman who could have written as well
 worded platform as any man in his party, had such an enunciation seemed suitable merely.offered single, short resolution con- mending the nominee of the convention to the electors of the District Over in the Seven- teenth, the Democrats had more ambitious Committee on Resolutions. They presented set of three of which the latter half of the first is the following gem:
 And we deprecate the policy of the Repub- lican party in reviving war issues as calculated to estrange and prolong the restoration of fra ternal and patriotic relations, as of old.
 The foregoing strikes us as belonging to what is called the composite order' of architecture. There is ono man in an adjoining town in the Fifteenth District who could have written j'tst such resolution-the only person we know who could have done it. We judge that this was the work of three. For instance, Mir. Goodwin, say, of Salisbury, leads of, from memory as follows: "And we doprecate the policy of the Republican party in nreviving war issues," (hereabouts Goodwin can't exactly remember the rest, and another member of the committee strikes out, little wildly) las cal culated to estrange and prolong the restoration of fraternal and patriotic relations" Just here Goodwin suggests that the restoration of fra ternal and patriotic relations is. just what eve rybody wants to see ''prolonged," and asserts that ''prolong" does not mean ''put off" Then the other member calls for Webster's Una hridged, "by jings,' and thereby proves that .'prolong" does mean 'put off," Goodwin al- so had his doubts about the propriety of the word ''estrange" in that connection, but hav- ing'been put to shame in the matter of 'pro- long" keeps them to himself Just at this point, as sort of peace offering, the third committeeman modestly suggests closing with ''as of old" The resolution comes out finally, therefore, in complete shape as follows Qst Committeemans, Roman; 2d ditto, in italic; 3d ditto in small caps):
 ''And we deprecate the policy of the Repub- lican party in reviving war issues,G ,Gs calcuIated to estrange and proJong the restoration of trd- ternGl oasd patriotic relations, AS OF oLD."
 This theory of the genesis of a resolution may be wrong, but we submit that it is very plausible. -.. .E'. -. -..

Elmira, N. r., proposes the erection of a monument 125 feet high to Adam ! Why at Elmira9 Were Yazoo county, Miss, to set up a monument to Cain, there would be an evident fitness in the' location Norwich, Conn.,, might erect a statue of Caesar Borgia, ing and all the people would say, Amen But why should Elmira, N. Y.. claim Adam ? Was he an American, or even naturalized citizen? If an Asiatic. as most think, have naturalized? Furthermore what did Adam do to entitle him to monument? America builds tombs only tor the successful Was Adam success Did he leave property worth even half million Reproductive real estate not estimated)3 Did the Heirs contest his will? t@.a r' f -
 Passing these difficulties, we come to the worst difficulty of all. Who shall be the Ora. tor of the Day when that monument is dedi- cated? All America, save, Elmira, N. Y., cries with one accord, "Mark Twain !"a Yet we hear that Elmira is bent on having some stupid Doctor of Divinity who has spent his whole life abusing the deceased, instead of the great American traveller and essayist who discovered and wept over hls tomb. It is not likely that our views will have weight with Elmira, N. Y., but we feel certain that unless Samuel c. Clemens Esq. delivers that oration, the whole affair will be farce.
