POLITICAL BREyITIES.

HR- The Democrats don't like the
President and don't like his Cabinet.
This is doubly sad.
nTThurman, Hendricks. Wallace,
Tilden and English have started on a
go-as-you-please race for oblivion, with
a first-class chance of all of them get
ting in first.
H6- There is no encoura cement in
President Garfield's Cabinet selections
for the men who were watching for a
split in the Republican party. If the
present indications are correct, the
solidest thing in this country in 1884
will be that same Republican party.
I@r MIR. Tilden has gone into Gen.
eral Hazen's service, and predicts
stormy weather for the new President.
As Samivel has failed heretofore rs a
Judge of the signs of the times, it may
be as we'll to distrust somewhat his pre-
diction in this instance.
DB- In Mr.. Tilden's letter accepting
the Democratic nomination Tor the Pres
idency in 1876 he expressed his deter
mination not to use the Office for his
own usufruct. 1t must be a great satis-
faction for him to know that he has been
able to carry out his policy in this re-
spect. &.
T-A few vigorous remarks from
Mr.. Watterson, favored with some free
observations on the dunderhead pro.
clivities of the Democratic party, might
enliven things somewhat. The danger
of the Democracy now is a gradually
increasing lethargy which NAV develop
into the sleep that knows no waking.
~Democratic consistency is jewel
of special brilliancy. They forged Cen
eral Gari;eld's name to a letter toprove
he was the friend of corporations and
monopolies. and now they publish one
from his Secretary of the Treasury
opposing monopolies and corporations,
and suggest that '.it is only a free ex-
preston of the views on the subject it
discusses which are entertained by the
President himself"
DB- The child-like belief of the Dem
ocrats that they can humbug the Nation
borders on the marvellous. They only
succeed, however, in humbugging them
selves. During the last twenty years
they have professed time and again to
have Just the issue they wanted to go
before the people on, but when the peo-
pie gave in their verdict it has always
been peremptory command to "get
out"
@- If the South is sincere in its pro-
fessions of agreement with President
Garfield's words it will cease to offer
further obstacles to a free and fair in
vestigation of contested Congressional
elections. That will be sure test. If
men like Chalmers are given to under
stand that if they steal seats they must
not hope to be sustained in the theft by
local public sentiment, they will stop
stealing. The South has the remedy in
its own hands. Southern words have
always been fair enough; what is neces-
words are genuine.
B1- Mr.. Tilden is credited with the
prediction that General Garfield's Pres
idential term will be the stormiest on
record. Who will supply the thunder
and lightning and other storm accesso-
ries, he does not tell US. Possibly the
Sage of Cipher Alley will furnish them
himself. There are noprognostication
of storm from any other quarter.
Everybody else thinks he sees pecu-
liarly quiet and prosperous epoch OF
four years ahead for the country, and it
may be that Mr.. Tilden has private in
formation to back up his solitary view.
The term of Mr.. Hayes was in some
ways a stormy one, but when the dam
age was summed up at the close it was
found to belong entirely to the Demo-
cratic party.-N. Y. Tribune.
The students of the State Normal
School at Millersville, Pa, are excited
over a recent occurrence. The rules of
the school prohibit the male and the
female students from travelling together,
and G. L. Langan, a member of the
senior class, has been suspended by the
principal for violating the rule. The
students had been at an entertainment
in Lancaster, and Mr.. Langan persisted
in entering street-car in which some
of the female students were seated.
1t is said the losses entailed on the
principal Western Railroads in conse-
quence of the snow blockades this
winter will more than equal the net
