Foolish ATTACKS ON BLAINE.--The
Grant men are bringing out new charg-
es against Blaine.
This is superauous.
They cannot be worse than those al.
ready proven by his own handwriting.
Besides, they are merely accusations
of pecuniary corruption.
They cannot help Grant. Blaine has
done some things he ought not to have
done. But if elected President, his sd.
ministration would shine like that OF

eight years Of Grant.

The big row in Louisiana among the
Republicans still further complexities
matters at Chicago. There is much bad

grined-especially if Grant is forced
upon the party.

The Utica Observer says: Let no man
be foolish enough to suppose that Grant
will be beaten at Chicago. The whole
army Of plunderers and spoil.stealers
are with him, and he will carry the con.

can be beaten at the polls if those who
desire to maintain liberty, and avert the
destruction Of our institutions, will unite
to oppose him.

SIR RICHARD TEMPLE, late Governor of
Bombay, delivered an address on India be-
fore the Colonial Institute in London a fort
night ago. He tried to put the best face
possible on its affairs, but was compelled to
admit that the charge of insolvency was not
without foundation. He said that India
could still borrow on favorable terms: but.
as the London Times points out, this is due
to the common belief, erroneous though it
may be, that the credit of Great Britain
stands behind that of India; and that on the
failure of the principal the indorser would
make the note good. The true condition of
Indian finances may be judged from the
fact that the expenditure runs perilously
near the limit of the resources of the coun-
try. All Indian financiers, including Sir
Richard Temple himself, have acknowl
edged the difficulty, if not the impossibility,
OF imposing new tax on India The reve-
nue. cannot be increased, and all occasional
wants are met by temporary loans. The
debt Of India is S75o,OOO, 200, or nearly one
half that of the United States.

sounds almost incredible, but it is strictly
true, that no improvement in the condition
OF the Irish Catholic had taken place since
TOO until he had made his discomfort mani
fest by "Whiteboyism," ''Molly Mcguire
ism," assassination of landlords and bailiffs,
house-burning and cattle-houghing. He
kept up this pleasing form of agitation for 10
years before he obtained ordinary civil rights
He again tried it successfully in order to get
rid of the tithes in 1882, and once more, in
1867, it brought him the disestablishment of
the church, and in 1870 the land act. The
chances are that it is now going to bring
him "the three Fs.''

The Year.

The year just closing has not made much
memorable history, but among the legacies
1t leaves to its successor are some full of
promises of evil. In this country we have
been most fortunate. We have been blessed
with abundant harvests, trade has been
good, labor has found wide employment at
generally remunerative rates, and public
misfortunes have been few. An animated
Presidential canvass has resulted in an un-
disputed succession and the triumph of the
political organization to which the Ameri-
can people has intrusted its government
since 1860. With the exception of the un-
happy war between Peru and Bolivia on the
one hand and Chilli on the other the West
Arn Continent has been at peace Canada
has gone on t@ceSs's--aAtinu debt while we
have gone on reducing it.
The Eastern Continent has not had so
happy lot Its great Republic, France, has
been the happiest and most fortunate of its
nations. The country with which we are
most closely connected and in whose affairs
we have the most immediate interest, Eng
land, is perhaps the most unhappy. Vexa-
tious wars in Asia and Africa provoked by
her land-lust. draw upon her resources, and
centuries of misgovernment in Ireland are
bearing their fruit in discomfort that prom
lses to speedily become open revolt. Russia
is still exposed to the evils of Nihilist in
trigues, and threatened with socialistic out
breaks more terrible than those which dis
troyed the old monarchy of France. The
Eastern question is still unsettled, but
the remaining territories of the once
extensive Ottoman Empire are Slip
| ping from the grasp of the Osmanlis.
| Other European countries are comparatively
| happy in the possession of uneventful
records. In the far-away lands of Asia and
Africa, little of notice, outside of the sound
OF the British drum-beat, has taken place.
| Looking over the record of the year Amer
leans can congratulate themselves upon ex-
ceptional prosperity among the nations.
