SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

WE are now reasonably sure of honest cleo
lions. But the question chow co induce and
how TO enable the body OF veters 70 take part IN
the selection of nominees for office" remains,
and it is the question which lies at the founda-
ton of political progress and sound party action.

OTHER governments have placed a premium
on Idleness and improvidence by largesses of
bread, misplaced charity and mistaken efforts to
relieve temporary distress; but in granting land,
which is only one of the essential factors of pro-
ductiOn. the United States mas offered bounty
for productive labor.-New York Herald.
WHEREVER you find man who was Greeley
bolter in 1872, or CASTOR bOlter in 1874, or q
Tilden bOlter in 1876, or friend of boilers in
New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, or
elsewhere. there you will surely find man who
has the perpetual 1dgets for FEAR somebody or
other is going to turn traitor to the Republican
parJy-Boston Traveller.
THE law now gives the negro all civil and po-
ltica rights; what they need 70 get the full en-
joyment and benefit of them is education and
money. With education and money all other
things necessary will come to them. without
education ana money, there are some things
which all the conventions in the world cannot
secure to them.-Louisville Commercial.
THE youth who comes to New York from the
country, tempted by the apparent ease of money
getting finds himself, nine times out of ten. con-
demned to lifelong toll and self-denlal, without
a possibility of escape Not always, by any
means. can he even provide himself by his work
with the means of decent living. The best that
he hope for, in the great majority OF cases. Is
bare self-support, with an uncertain ana hope
less future-New York Times.
CAPITAL and labor in civilized society have
entered into an unlimited partnership Their
relations may be disturbed from time TO time by
greed on either side, by jealOusies and disseD-
BiOns, and by unnatural antagOnl5mS set up by
designing and INSCRIPTIONS men; but the assO
ciatlOn is eternally essential TO progress and re-
ciprocal advantages. Neither one of these cor
related forces will ever be permitted to absorb
confscate, or oblterate the other.-Chicago
Tribune
IT may be that the indecent haste to canOniZe
General VandervOort as martyr to a martinez
postmaster general will serve to bring to light
and defeat the scheme of perversion. The Grand
Army itself is being put in false position. The
attitude of those who demand Vandervoorts re-
instatement is that of insisting that If public
be kept in office, irrespective of the service he
renders. That, of course. is not the position in
tended.-Chlcago Inter-Ocean
WHILE recognizing the general principle that
a man has the right to devise his own prOnerty
as may suit him. providing he does not conflict
with the rights of others, There is still murmur
of dissatisfaction growing out OF an effort To re-
vive, in AN Objectionable FORM the laws of primo
geniture expressly prohibited by the constitu-
ton. In other words, the action of the elder
Aston fin deciding his property to his SOM is
deemed contrary 10 pubic policy, and the line
OF legal presidents is strongly opposed to such
oceeding-Louisvlle Courler-Journal
THE withdrawal of Mr.. Hoadly at this time
would hardly mend matters He cannot shift
his position now, for he has changed often
that another change would MAKE him ridiculous
if he returns Co the canvass he Will be exposed
to constant perils from his own fatal mouth, and
if he stays away he will be adjudged guilty of
the shahbiesU sinking ever in ONO. Re-
naming on the sick list. he will ne thought sulk
ing or shamming by some, while Others will
be elected 10 post of great responsibility.
