EDITORIAL NOTES.

IT is the opinion of our morning con-
temporary that one observes no praise
for doing right" If it can be made the
fashion to give the entire available stock
of praise for wrong-doing, the venerable
Democratic party will totter along toward
its grave amid the plaudits of admiring
millions.
Mr.. BEECHER persists in preaching
against the hades theory quite regardless
Of the fact that he thus diminishes the
sum total of human felicity by depriving
a numerous class of truly good persons
of their principal source of enjoyment
the belief that their wicked neighbors
will be cndlessly tormented.
THERE arc Senators and members of Con-
gross who hope to be returned to their
present seats by Republican votes who will
have 10 face the ugly record of implacable
Bourbous, put into office and held there
petent and deserving Union soldiers. The
fences of these statesmen are in bad shape.
By adding all The money disbursed by
the Government since March 4, 1861, and
computing interest thereon, the Demo-
cratic press manages to pile up an i'm
posing score against the Republican
party. But these sapient and erudite
fnanciers should not omit to state that
the last Democratic Administration found
it almost impossible to borrow money at
twelve per cent.
WEare very solemnly assured that tho
Democrats expect to make great gains
in the elections of this year out Of the
contrasting positions of the two parties I"
as relates to the tariff. These contrast
ing positions" are on the Democratic
side-between Senators like Mr.. Voorhees,
and Mr.. Beck, between members like
Mr. Randall and Mr., Carlisle. The
Democracy will get all the tariff music it
wants in its own party's irremediable
differences.
Hon. GEORGE w. JONES has announced
his independent candidacy for the guber-
material chair Of Texas. A leading Bour-
bon member of the Texas senate, who
has been an intimate friend Of Mr.. Jones'
for twenty-five years, eulogized him in q
speech few days ago, in which a most
eloquent tribute was paid to his intelli-
gence, honesty, and patriotism. The
Galveston Neirs, the leading paper of the
State, is equally complimentary. Mr..
Jones will stump his State on an abso-
lutely independent basis, and very
lively campaign may be confidently pre-
dicted.
The Indiana Democracy plants itself
for the campaign of this year on the ut
terly undemocratic position that when a
large number of respectable citizens, ire
spective of party, desire the Legislature
to submit proposition to the people in
order 70 determine whether the people
will or will not change their fundamen-
tal law, il is the duty of the Legislature
TO refuse compliance with the request.
The Democratic leaders who are engaged
| in this anti Democratic crusade will find
that they are Us far "off" in their reck-
oning as they were on their free trade
platform of 1880.

THE approval of the bill to restrict
Chinese immigration is sufficient an
swer to those who have accused the
President of want of sympathy with
the great multitude who labor with their
hands. At the same time he has shown
that he had the courage to guard them
against having their demands answered
in way that could do their cause an in
jury. 1t was better that the relief on the
Chinese immigration question should be
so given as to have the approval of the
largest possible number of the people
Better to travel q rod with the main
body of the country than to go q league
