The embarrassing situation of the Re-
publican party in New York seems to be
still further complicated within the past
few days by the announcement on the
part of some of the close friends of Mr..
Conkling that that gentleman does not
favor the nomination of Mr.. Folger for
Governor. If this be true, the Washing
ton Star thinks the fact may hamper the
convention somewhat; but for all that
there are good reasons for believing that
Mr.. Folger will carry off the prize. 1t
says: Mr.. Wadsworth's growth was
pushed too fast, by sort of hot house
process, and the opposition in certain
influential quarters to the denomination
of Governor Cornell Is so bitter and de-
termined that his friends can hardly hope
to carry him through. These are the
most formidable names yet mentioned,
ana with their bearers out of the way
the course seems to be tolerably clear for
the Secretary of the Treasury, unless a
dark horse shall be brought out at or
just before the meeting of the eOnven-
ton. This, however, seems hardly
probable at the present time"

The Chicago Journal says that Senator
Davis, of West Virginia, when ne at
tempted to investigate the Treasury
books, discovered no startling errors in
the accounts, and has made no reports
that have astOnished the country" So
far as Mr.. Davis was permitted to 60,
he discovered that the Republican book
keepers did not make the books balance
within $15O,OOO,OOO The Registers
and Treasurer's books fail to agree with
in $144, 577, 67S, and Boutwell, himself
admitted once that there was mo check
upon the accounts of the Register as to
the public debt"
When the Democrats are permitted to
manage the Treasury the Journal will
probably have an opportunity to COM
ment on the merits of Radical bookkeep-
ing, unless there should be a convenient
fire in the Treasury Department in the
meantime.

An amusing story is told of recent
political episode. At the Republican Con
vention held in Winston, N. c., few
nights since. to nominate candidates for
the Legislature and the county offices,
Mr.. Tavis, a German, was nominated for
House delegate. Calls were made for
him, and he arose, smiling, and said: 81
tanks you, shentlemen, very much, IN
deed. I makes no speech" He then
took BIS seat. The Chairman said:
''Of course you accept the nomination,
and can make your speech some other
time" "Vell, said Tavis, rising, 81 don't
know so veil as dot l will dink on it,
and must first ask my wife abOd it." The
convention took a recess for HIM to ask
his wife. Herr Tavis was right. Many
a man who is out Of place in politics
would have been successful in his chosen
calling had he followed Herr Tavis ex-
ample.

The most ridiculous thing in the world
Just now is that party named Green
backer." The financial issue in this cOun-
try has been settled years ago, but some
Rip Van Wrinkle Radical Bourbons still
cling to the name of Greenbackers for the
purpose of deceiving the people into vot-
ing against the Democracy. Why don't
they be open and above board at once, and
call themselves black Republicans? That
is what they are, and to attempt to hide
it behind the title "Greenbacker," ''Inde-
pendent" "Readjuster," or anything
else, Is simply ridiculous. There are
only two parties in the country. Let
every man say at once under which
king he will serve.

John Kelly still persists, nOtwithstand-
ing that he has so often sold out his fac
ton to the Republicans, in calling himself
Democrat. On Tuesday evening last, at
a Tammany meeting in which Kelly fig
ured conspicuously,i it was decided to send
a full Democratic delegation to the State
Convention, the delegates to go Gin as
good style as possible, so as to impress
the rural delegates with Tammany's re-
sources and power"
The "rural delegates" have already
ere this been fully impressed with Tam
many's power for evil, and john Kelly
might as well make up his mind to be
cons oiled by the style he intends to put
on, for there is scarcely doubt that he
will be unceremoniOusly snubbed, unless
he gives bond and security for better
Democracy in the future than he has
heret ofore been in the habit of display

Murat Ralstead, editor of the Gin
cinnati Commercial Rep.), does not
approve of the Ohio Sunday law. He
says:
"There is no great popular demand
for this law, and Governor Foster is a
monumental iunatic in making il party
issue. He has driven out of the ranks
that great body of Germans which IS the
rock of strength in the party. These
Germans saved us the State in 1866.
and for what good do these CROSSE road
politicians and court house rings com
NIT the party to this issue with the
Germans? You can't enforce this law
Its only effect thus far has been to close
the front doors and compel the Germans
to drink their beer at the expense of their
health from bad air. "
Editor Halstead is correct. Sunday
laws are valueless unless properly en-
forced.

The Rhode Island farmers are ''dead
down agin" the amateur fox hunters OF
Newport. As the latter were out enjoying
their dangerous % sport, riding after a
tame but leathery fox last Monday, some
of the farmers through whose land they
passed opened fire upon them and scared
them almost out of their wits. If this
sort of thing continues, the sportsmen
will have to take their dogs and foxes
and retire to some lone and sandy island,
where they can chase their game without
fear of danger either from irate land
nRners or HIGH fences.

Students in the Naval Academy are
hereafter, under the operation of the act
passed in the last session of Congress, to

zens IN a total population of 1872, 900. OF
the foreign born three-fifths come from
Canada. so that only about 1900 are

Competition Is the life of trade, but
our tariff system kills competition and
enables a few capitalists to virtually con
troll our leading industries. The segre-
cation of our industries in the hands of
a few men grows the greater from year
to year, and if the present system is
maintained much longer, the smaller
capitalists must quit the field.

quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. 1t
often affects the suffererwith
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow of his former self.
Malaria once having laid its
hold upon the human frame, the
door Of the system is thrown open
TO nervous diseases The body
weak and enfeebled absorbs no
nourishment, but subsisting upon
itself, the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions;
theliver becomes torpid, and other
organs failing to do their routine
work, speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt
to ensue.
In addition to being a certain cure
for malaria and chills and fever,
