OF every olice-seeker in the land. In 1880
they made roSe-water campaign and lost it.
In 1884 they want to make a bilge-water
campaign, and if they were allowed to do
this, they would lose that They love Mr..
Tilden no better than they ever did, but it is
either him and the old issue they trod upon
and stamped out or new issue which they
dare not tackle because it has the fire OF
truth and the blood of life in it. Their hope
is mat, Mr.. Tilden being Mr.. Hendricks's
senior will die first, wherein, as is their
wont, they would probably encounter disap

a philosopher as may be found, and good for
many year, while Mr.. Hendricks totters

1t is Mr.. Hendricks who totters upon the
brink of the grave. Yet those who surround
him not only will not let him die in peace
but seek to smirch the fame of his declining
days by forcing him into an attitude of trea
son and dshonor to his best friend, and pre-
cipitating him into a candidacy as impossible
as it is absurd.
We think we see our excellent Uncle Sam
uel pulling anybody's chestnuts out of tao
fire. Such persons as this Henderson imagine
that there is no goal for an honest mans am
bition but office. That Mr. Tilden would de
cline the presidency is to his little mind in
credible. The idea that life and health, that
honor and duty, that fame and fortune, that

THE national jealousy between France and
Germany is so intense that friendly visit
by the King of Spain to the latter country is
made the ground of Indignation by the
former. Things have come to a sad plight
when the crowned heads dare not be turned
to the right or left without precipitating
serious complications with neighboring
countries. But such state of things can be
viewed with complacency from this side of
the water as favorable omens for the people.

could in very short time deprive all the
dangerous classes of their chief means of
murder and mischief. The toning of senti-
ment and the strengthening of the statute
upon this vital question ought not to be de-
layed longer than the earliest opportunity TO
accom- lish the important end in view, The
daily street-butcheries in American society
have become a reproach upon our people,

In keeping with the long list of fatalities
for the current year, the earthquake in the
island of Java is more serious than at first
reported. The earthquake was soon supple
mented by about half the forty-fve volca-
noes on the island suddenly becoming active.
The description OF the scene is appalling,
and the terrors OF the situation can hardly
be conceived The loss of life appears to
have been frightfu, the total being placed at
over twenty thousand. While this may be
an exaggeration, there can be no doubt that
the loss has been very heavy, and Ill all
probability this new calamity will be greater
than any that have preceded it during this
year of horrors

of such compromising nature as to seri-
ousiy reflect upon the personal honor of Mr..
Tilden. Evidence of attempts to buy one
of the Oregon electors, and the dickering
between him and Mr. Tilden's confidential
agents, was produced in such manner as to
be beyond the power of denial. The same
scheme was attempted in Florida, and only
failed because the price was too high. The
points were developed in answer to the fraud
cry of $780, The people believed the charges
and voted accordingly. They have had no
reason to change the verdict rendered then,
and the same issue would again be defeated.
The Democratic party makes the mistake
of substituting a more than questionable
personal grievance for a national ISSUE Mr.
TiIden's disappointment and defeat eight
years ago are of little moment now. The
millions of people that make up this repub-
lie have much of graver import to engage
their attention. The tariff issue and the
question of wages, in which three million
laborers are directly and most intimately
interested, are of vastly more importance
than the personal political ambition of any
one man in the country. Mr.. Tilden has
had his day. He has been
tried, and found to be man very
dangerous to the institutions of the country.
He has done more than any other man to
cripple the election machinery of the nation
and to corrupt and defeat popular suffrage.
He may be put up again by Democracy as
their candidate for the high Office of Presi-
dent but he cannot be elected. His money
may buy his party, but it cannot buy the
people. His trickery in the election in
the eyes of the public to the true character
of the man. The great mass of independent
voters have no confidence in his integrity nor
in his reputation as a reformer. The
Republican party offers NO objection to the
old ticket Let it be again put up. The
platform on which it must stand was run
will be even less potent next year. The Re-
publican party will be content to fight for
living issues and to simply recall to public
attention the many corrupt practices resort
ed to in 1876 by the intimate friends and
relatives of Mr., Tilden in the vain hope of
capturing that (which he so nearly grasped but
which did not belong to him, and will never
come so near him again.

THERE seems little need of fear on &C
count of the foreign element in our
population. The last census shows the total
population of foreign-born people to be but
6,679,9I3, while the native population is
over six times as large or 43.475, $40. 1t is a
fact not generally known that the colored
population of the United States nearly
equals the foreign, being $3.50, 793. The ap-
prehension that the colored race will ever
control affairs seems not to have troubled
anybody. The per cent. of our foreign-born
population will steadily decrease as time
passes

Tue Keely motor is again pronounced a

about the middle OF next month. The motor
is always an assured success at this season of

while applications have been received from
all parts of the country for passage on the
first motor train to New York, no passes have
been issued. There is unnecessary cruelty
in this refusal.

has pending before it resolution requiring
all the members to resign and go home, hav-

THE French commission to the Boston ex-
position called on Mayor Edison, of New
York, on Tuesday, and announced that the
great statue of Liberty would be ready for
delivery any time after the first of January
next. They also informally invited the
Mayor and Americans in general to a cele-
bration to be given in Paris in 1889, COM
memorating the one hundredth anniversary
of republican independence in France. Six
years is long time in French history, and a
good many things may occur between now
and 1885, The wonder is whether any
notice will be taken of the little hiatus
in the republic during which an empire
seemed on top? 1t will be safe to answer
however that some kind of jubilee will be
held there in 1889, and the occasion should
make little difference.

THE eleventh congress of women, which meets
in Chicago on October II, is association in
which all who are indirectly concerned in what
is known the advancement of women"
should take a deep interest. The congress has
already done great good by free discussion of
subjects in which all the world is interested, but
which have hitherto been treated only from a
mans standpoint. Its work, however, is only
just begun, each year bringing new topics for
consideration and showing wider scope of ar
gument The association has connection
with the suffrage movement proper, only touch
| ing that question incidentally, one of the
many levers which may be needfuI for women
| in their future progress. The programme for
the coming congress embraces wide field.
Among the topics for discussion are: "Women
and Land" DUTY of the White Women of the
| North to the Black Women of the South,' ''Wo-
men of Utah." Historic Art" "Mournng Garb,"
and Scientific Charity" Papers on the above
| subjects will be read by women well quail
fed to treat of them, and cannot fail
to be Interesting. In addition to the above,
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, president of the society,
and who holds somewhat conservative ideas on
the subject, will lecture upon the Benefits of
Suffrage to Women" Rev. Antoinette Brown
Blackwell will consider the subject of here6ity,
Mrs. Livermore "The Infringement of Personal
Liberty by License" and Miss Clara Barton will
tell of the work of the Red Cross" The object
of the association is to promote cooperation
among women, not only for their own benefit,
but for the advancement of the human race.
With so generous an aim in view, no one can re-
fuse to wish them a successful session and happy
results.
