resumption. They are cognizant of the
fact that gold struggled Gercely for suprem-
acy, that resumption might not be accom-
plished, and they witnessed with JOY the
restoration of the silver dollar as a par
factor in our currency, for that broke the
golden sceptre of the money king and made
the redemption of the Nations promises to
pay in coin possibility. 1t is proverbial
that the financial policy of the Chancellor
of the EXchcquer was not strictly in accord
with the silver measure-and the alfilia-
lions Of the Secretary with the money
power have been credited as the controlling
influence Of his action. All this accounts
in part if not in whole, for the Trjbune's
present attachment to the Presidential for
tunes of Secretary SHERMAN, and we refer
to it ps a matter of history, 1t follows its

PoLTIcs is as caprcous as the natural
elements THE wind blows where it
listcth, and no man tell whence it cometh
and whittier it goeth.' So in politics, and
yet, Old Probabilities seems to have gained
n more reliable knowledge of the elements.
and to possess more prophetic power to
foretell their movements, than the sooth-
sayors in politics with all their accumulated
wisdom to proguosiicate political events.
Prior to the Pennsylvania Republican State
Convention it was confidently announced
that letter Withdrawing General GRANT
from the Presidential race would be made
public before that convention should
transpire. The prophecy failed utterly as
bald fraud upon public eredulity. Now
it is stated with equal positiveness that if
General GRANT shall receive the nomina-
ton at Chicago he will accept and lead the
Republican forces on to victory 1t will take
until June to verify this prediction, and
hence, at worst, it cannot be fully exploded
for four months to come. Our faith is
abiding.

constant and careful readers. We are for
General GRANT until the Convention fails
to nominate him, and after that--a condi-
ton of things that we do not now antici-
pate-we shall support the nominee with
as much zeal aud energy as his most stall
wart supporter prior to the determination
of the Convention. THE REPUBLICAN
never hops over in the midst of battle,
but when the Republican forces change
their front from its line it keeps faithful
step to the music of the band. The chosen
leader of the Republican hosts is our
leader every time.

THE MONEY POWER.

THE New York Tribune is now regarded
as a special advocate of Secretary SHER-
MANS candidacy Nobody objects, but it
sets everybody to thinking. The Tribune is
vOtary of the gold king, and gravitates
very naturally to the money centres,
Where wealth is there its best efforts CON
centrate. If money is to be appreciated as
the factor of political power, there is ready
gravitation to that point by those who
worship at Mammon's shrine which attracts
It's votaries TO the Stock Exchange and tile
money market of our commercial metropo-
lis. In the money centres Secretary SHEER
MAN holds sway. The banks are for him.
Money syndicates are in his favor, Stock
operators are his yOtaries. The brokers aud
usurers are his warm supporters, and that
is perfectly natural and legitimate. He
holds the National purse-strings and ha,
the power to shape and control financial
policies, all of which affect in greater OF
less degree the value Of money and the
scope of it's power, and for that reason
those who reyolve around the golden planet
seek political power where it will do the
most good to their side.
The people mt large have no active sym
pathies with Wall street and its methods
They have an idea that il the gold ant
stock exchange of that locality were abol
ished. the general business interests of tn,
country would be benefited thereby. The
have fear of such influences upon tn
financial policies OF the country. The,

nearly broken by the succeeding calamity
They have observed the efforts Of thu
money centers TO retard if not to delea

A RAID UPON TUE GOVERNMENT

The Government Printing Office is most
tempting plum for jobbers, strikers and
corruptionists and it will not escape the
attention of that class during the present
session of Congress. The vultures snuff
the carcass and are lowering around with
whetted appetites and sharpened claws and
beak, ready to pouuce upon their victim,
no matter what sacrifices may come TO the
Government through their action. The
birds of ill-omen demand their share of cor
ruption, and it remains for Congress to de-
termine whether millions shall be sacrificed
to crafty their rapacity, or the Government
shall be surely protected from depreciation
and spOlialion at the behests of mere adj
venturers and plunderers. The legislative
power of the Government will be strongly
and persistently beset to oyerturn one of its
most useful bureaus that the cormOrants
may be fed If it can be made subservent
TO such a purpose, then beak and talon will
be brought in play and the carcass will be
devOurcd.
War has been formally declared by the
iobbers and strikers through their organ,
which has thrust its edict in the face OF
Congress, They have established their
headquarters aud are mastering their forces
from the purlieus of uncleanness. They
have hoisted the freebooter's flag and are
mounting their armament with which first
to capture Congress and then to subiugato
the vast printing interests of the Govern
ment TO crafty their cupidity. The pro.
nunciamento of hostility has been issued
and now il remains TO be seen if this locl
of unclean birds are to make prey of an
important aud useful branch of the publ,
service to crafty the rapacity of jobber
and Adventures. We propose to watcl
this raid upon the public interest, and, il
needs be, TO cry aloud and spare not unit
the unhallowed scheme Of plumber shall
meet defeat The roster of the gang is
available and their place of rendezvous is
/ known, and it will be an easy matter &c
shell them out of their retreat when il
seems TO be of public interest and benefit
to bring them into view. The general wei.
fare must be protected and preserved
though it involves the necessity of exposing
the conspiracy and the conspirators. A
like raid was attempted during the lat,
Congress, and it met with signal defeat
History will no doubt repeat itselr in tn,
present Congressifthe foreshadowed schem,
is attempted.

THE sUFrRAGE QUESTION.

We hold that the District of Columbia
per Sc is entitled to all the rights and priyi-
leges Of citizenship that attach TO any other
United States. This is its right, rs mat
ter of principle and it never should and
never would have been denied that right had
the controlling forces of the District shaped
the management of its affairs wisely and
justly A man forfeits his liberty by the
commission of onenses against the laws of
right and propriety, though nominally n
free man. So this whole community has
been DISTINGUISHED because the controlling
majority have shown themselves incapable
of seli-government. Those who have neg
lected their duty as citizens-as the min
GRITTY might have held the turbulent ele-
ments in check by bearing their part in the
primary action of politics-by Withdrawing
from the contests that have occurred, have
permitted condition of things which has
brought dislranchisement TO all alike, In
this an abstract right has been forfeited,
and we now hold that an effort to recover
that right has been greatly damaged, if not
absolutely defeated, by the occurrences of
the past week. The right is the same, and
to withhold it from an entire people be-
cause of the misconduct of turbulent ele-
ment does not seem to consist with the
principles of a republican form Of govern
ment, which pretends to be" of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the people"
We have been earnest and somewhat eff
cient in behalf of suffrage in the District OF
Columbia as an abstract right, regarding the
Withholding of it as an infrRction of that
fundamental principle in n republican form
of government which declares that taxa
tion and representation shall go hand in
hand in the establishment of rights and re-
sponsibilities in government. This we hold
to be abstractly right and just, all things
being equal. But men very often by indi-
vidual action forfeit rights that otherwise
would be possessed without interruption
The most potent objection urged by the
enemies of suffrage has been that this peo-
pie, to great extent, are not capable OF
self-governmcnt, and hence are not safe re-
positOries of power, and it is to be regretted
that recent political events have given much
more force to such an argument than its
bare iteration or reiteration could ever have
secured to it. Whether this will prove fata
to the suffrage movement or not time will
determine; but most assuredly those who
have been yociierous for suffrage have givei
their own cause a very black eye by
strengthening the arguments of its enemie
through their own folly and wickedness

THE Syracuse journal now insists upon

FURNISH up its armor, for there is to be a

some one inform us by what right tele-
graph companies run their wires-some-
times whole nets of them-Oyer the tops
"of houses without permission of their
"Owners? These wires are in many cases
"a nuisance. They break and fall on the
roofs and into the court-yards of houses.
In thaw they drip, to the annoyance OF
householders. During windy weather
they rattle so as to prevent sleep, reading
"or writing. If telegraph companies can
illegally create such nuisance and SER
"vitude, they can take private property
without compensation. 1t will probably
abe found that in many cases telegraph
companies are mere trespassers and liable
