National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1882-05-31
EDITORIAL NOTES.

No RIGHT is clearer than the right of
the House to determine what shall be its
rules.
THE Massachusetts Retormers solemnly
aver that so backward q spring was never
known while the old Collector was in
office.
THE literature of the United States
will he enriched to-day by number of
orations by our great masters of rhetori-
cal eloquence.
DEMOCRATIC editors know the difference
between fatigue and inebriety. There is
no excuse for their SANDER of the Massa-
chusetts lawmakers.
HUNTING escaped criminals is likely to
| develop to the proportions of u national
sport if Jail breaking continues to in
crease. II is said to be far more exciting
than fox-hunting.
THE fact that some thousands of ice
bergs, many of them of immense proper
tions, are floating about in the most
prOmiscuous manner off the North At
lantic coast, will render navigation peril
GUS for some weeks
In days of vorc, before the dodo died
ont, it is said there were honest reformers
We may not be able to restore the dodo,
but let us notdespair of seeing fresh crop
of honest reformers brave and true men,
who will not be afraid to keep their win
dows wide open toward Jerusalem, or any
other town, and who will never be de-
tected in trying to palm off on country
folk and corner-grocery audiences their
own mean iealousies and spities for holy
zeal in good cause.

as in the interest of peace and amity p
that eX-President Tilden" be paid out
of the conscience fund in the Treasury n
sum equal to the amount expended by
him for cipher telegrams. We know this
is generous, for, as Il matter of fact, Mr..
| Tilden has no more claim on the salary
drawn by President Hayes than he has
on the fees, perquisitcs, allowances, and
advantages of Road Commissioner Hayes.

valor saved this Na,ion-the surviving
heroes of the war for the Union. The
man OF party that undertakes to prepare
or enact statutes in which no discrimina'
ton in favor of the Union veterans is
made will find that the people are not
yet so ungratelul as to turn their backs
on the men to whose courage, patriotism,
and immensurnble sacrifices we owe the
very existence of our Union.
