principles can be changed at pleasure, like
an old coat. OF course his buster will
not help him. He can calculate upon the
adherence Of the faction whose personal in
terests are bound up with him. He can
command the support of his creatures, and
OF such as hope for favors at hia hands.
But it is already evident that the
vitalizing elements of the Republican party
are not for him that the men who hate
the abuses which have been fastened on
to the party by such as he will be found
with the Independents on election day !;
and that whereas the defeat of the Re-
publicans this fall will open the path OF
his opponents to power, it will extinguish
him and his followers utterly. The hide
pendents have everything to hope, and he
has everything to fear, from the coming
election. They can hardly fail to defeat
him, and that done the rule OF Bossism"
in the State will be broken, and next year
the Republicans will rally united about
reform standard, and rescue Pennsyl-
vania from the Democrats. Cameron's
rage, desperation and folly, show that
he is doomed, and his absurd boasts and
threats will help to consolidate the indie
pendent array, by thoroughly disgusting
the few honest Republicans who still cling
to his failing fortunes.

THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.

A Departmental Commission has de.
clared the Channel Tunnel defensible, but
recommends that its opening should be
carried farther inland, SO as to render its
protection easier. This view is more in
accordance with commonsense than the
panicky expressions which have been given
forth of late of so many eminent persons
who ought to have known better. The
idea that 1000 French troops could hold
the English end of the tunnel against all
England long enough to allow 10000 men
to pass over, and that these $4,000 could
continue to hold it as long as they liked,
seems the extravaganza of apprehension
For if England could be invaded and con.
quered as easily as that, no Channel Tun-
mel would be required for the undertaking
We have no doubt that the tunnel can be
defended in such way as to be impreg-
uable.

CAMERoN's srATEsMANsHIP.

Every act of Don Cameron of late has
shown more strongly the urgent necessity
for such a resolute revolt against his inso
lence as the Pennsylvania Independents
have now prosperously inaugurated. The
man has evidently no sense whatever of
his own true position. He still thinks it
possible to crack the whip over the Repub-
licans of his State, and instead of taking
to heart the lesson of the Independent
Convention he loudly proclaims his inten.
ton to crush these hated reformers.
Nay more, it is even said that he has gone
to the business men of Pennsylvania and
tried to blackmail them by threatening to
advocate tariff reform unless they support
him and his faction. He does not see
what is perfectly plain to every one else,
namely, that if he is beaten in the coming
struggle his advocacy or his opposition will
be alike valuelezs. This proposition, how
ever, shows how hopelessly corrupt the
" stalwart leader himself is, for in max.
ing it he impudently declares that his

AN OLD STORY.

A Berlin journal tells story of how
Alexander Won Humboldt and Gay Lussac
once, being in Paris, needed large mum.
Der of glass tubes, and devised the plan
of sending to Germany for them, where
they were cheaper than in France, and
evading the French tariff, which was Oh,
by having the tubes closed at each end
and labeled "German Air" The story
is a good one, but if Humboldt was
the hero of it the fact only shows
how history repeats itself, for the very
same anecdote is told with Voltaire IS the
hero, and it is scarcely necessary to add
thai Voltaire preceded Humboldt in point
of time by several years. According to
the story the device was resorted to by
Voltaire while he was absorbed in philo-
sophical experiments during his residence
at Cirey.

GENERAL RosECRANs BLOWS HIS OWN
TRUMPET.

General Rosecrans mas issued wonder
ful manifesto, in which he says that he
wants to be reelected to Congress, and in
which he further declares that though the
press has failed to discover the fact, he
really has been the most useful and capa.
bic Representative from the Pacific coast
in Congress, and that the final passage of
the Chinese bill was due to his ability and
energy in the main, if not altogether. Gen
eral Rosecrans says he is not politician,
and therefore he conceives it proper thus
to blow his own trumpet. II entire alb
sence of bashfulness is characteristic of the
politicians, however, the General NAV
claim to be considered at least equal to the
boldest of them. As to the failure of the
press to perceive his distinguished ability,
it may be that all the papers were actuated
by mean desire to prevent him from ris.
ing; but since the complaint emanates
from him alone, it will be regarded with
suspicion. The worlds opinion about a
public man is more often right than wrong,
and its opinion about General Rosecans is
very fairly expressed by the silence of the
press concerning his alleged services.

QUos DEUS vULr PERDERB, PRIUs
DEM6NTAT

The Republican National Congressional
Committee has sent circulars to all the
Clerks at Washington, informing them that
they will be expected to contribute two
per cent. of their salary to the campaign
fund to be used next fall. It is such acts
of folly and iniquity combined that are
rapidly disintegrating the Republican
party, and causing honorable men every
where to doubt whether it is possible to
purify and reform it again. This is a
hardy, brutal and cynical reputation of
the principles which the party leaders have
put in their platform, and upon which the
country was carried for Garfield last year.
The demand for political assessments is
made, moreover, almost coincidently with
the conviction of General Curtis for a
breach of law in making precisely similar
acquisitions. Thus the National Congress
sional Committee declares itself in opposi.
tion to the law, and for a purpose the
corruptness OF which is undeniable. This
one fact is calculated to do more harm to
the party than can be repaired by all the
assessments levied upon all the men in the
civil service of the Government. It is
shameful, and it ought to and will disgust
the country
