The Latest Steal.

The river and harbor bill was passed
over the presidents veto, the vote in
the House standing I'D to 50 and in
the Senate Al to 10. Senator Morrill,
voted in the negative and Senator Ed
munds in the negative was paired.
Tyler in the House also voted in the
negative. Joyce and GrOut were alb
sent. The passage of the bill over the
veto occasiOned much surprise, as well
it might, as it is rather IA singular pro-
ceeding for Congress to thus disregard
veto by president of the same po-
litical complexion as the majority OF
its members. Men like Senators HOar
and Dawes of Massachusetts who have
postured in the attitude of civil service
IefOrmers voted in favor of one of the
most gigantic swindles since the credit
mobilier and star route days.
By his action in the matter the pres
ident has done much to reconcile to
him that element i'll the party which
has had great reason to believe that he
was the president not of the party and
the country but of ii faction. This bill
takes nearly Sl9,0O0,00O from the pub
lie treasury, and the appropriations
are so made that senators and repre-
sentatives from most of those states
having coast line were beguiled into
voting for the bill to advance the in
terests of their particular sections.

Throughout the country the demo-
Gratis are basing their hopes of success
this fall upon an appeal to the worst
elements in the several states. In
Connecticut they hope to elect their
ticket by means of the unpOpularity of
the license law enacted at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, which added
more stringent provisions to the then
existing law. In Indiana they are bar
gaining for the German and the beer
drinking vote by Incorporating ii plank
in their platform i'll opposition to the
prohibition amendment to the cOnsti-
tuition. In Ohio they are also catering
for the German vote. In California
the same is true, and added thereto is
an opposition to all laws restricting a
violation of the Sabbath. They de
clare themselves in favor of repeating
all laws relating to Sunday observance.
In this manner they may win Temporal
nv success by the votes of the immOr-
al and Goddess elements that are to be
found in every community and in ev-
cry section, but it is highly questiona-
bic if such policy will rebound to
their credit as an organization or win
them that permanent success which
they are so anxious to secure. With
out an issue to go before the people
and ask for their sutfrages, they are
compelled to resort to such subterfuges
for issues in order to gain even tran
silent power. 1t is a sad day indeed
for our politics when great political
organization whose vitality is really a
marvel in the history of the country
must needs resort to such practices by
reason of its imbecility and its inabili-
ty to grasp some vital question with
which to make canvass.

When the blatant Denis Kearney de-
clared that ''the Chinese must CO." he
was reviled on all hands by the major
ity of the eastern press of both politi-
wait to SET Congress carry into effect
the principle for which he contended.
From the sand lots now comes the elO-
quent Kearney's voice, who complains
that the congressional orators are in
fringing upon his peculiar style OF ora
tory. Some of our congressman must
feel great deal of pride in the follow
ing indignant protest from Kearney
II knew it wOuld come to this and
now that congressman have stolen the
phraseology of the sand lot to hurl at
each other, we must invent some more
new phrases, SO as to keep up the home
supply. When the nobility of Boston
was treated to dose of sand-lOt rhet-
Oric before breakfast the morning af-
ter | held forth in Faneuil Hall, they
held their breath and wondered what
next. The residents of Murray Hill,
New York, trembled and turned pale
while reading the speech that | deliv
cred in Union square to $4,000 people.
How must they feel now when reading
the proceedings of the House of Rep
resentatives every day ? Even on one
occasion the language used was unfit
for publication. Surely the sand lot
must get the credit for persuading con-
gressmen to call each other by their
riuht names -

The temperance question is destined
TO become an important one in our
politics. The National Republican OF
Washington, which is as near the pres
idential feeling as in location, in a re-
cent editorial article stated that the
prohibitOry legislation regarding the
distillation and sale of liquors is des-
tined soon TO become an issue which
must be squarely met by the two great
parties. 1t says Congress will soon be
forced to take decisive action, giving
committees the right of control in the
matter. 1t quotes the success of the
movement in Iowa, Kansas, North Car
DINA. and in many counties through
the South, and says, that the two par
ties must soon decide which side they
will take. This actually seems to be
the drift of events, and the action OF
the democrats in the fall elections is
Fastening the division which appears
TO be imminent.

Editorial Notes.

The probable action of the president
in relation to the river and harbOr bill
has been settled by declaration from
him that he will execute the act ac-
cording to its terms, and that he will
not avail himself of the doubtful Ian
guage in the act which might seem to
give him IA discretion. He said, how
ever, that he should recommend in his
message i'll December that there be no
river and harbOr appropriation for next
year, as the surplus now existing with
the present bill will be enough until
1884.
Speaker Keifer has been renOminated
