An Indication of the loOseness of party
ties Is seen in the reception-given to Judge
Gresham's appointment. The Philadel-
phia Press Rep says: ''The appoint
ment for Postmaster General should have
been one which, in its known personal
fitness, business qualifications and pOliti-
cal relations would have meant some
thing. Everybody will hope that the
present selection will justify itself by the
results; but so far as it seems to have any
significance it is simply that the negative
and inane policy is to be continued The
Times lind. Dem. J, of the same city, says;
Judge Gresham may not make an ideal
Postmaster General, but he is honest,
earnest and selEassertive, and will see to
it that his department is not the resort of
rOgues or mere partisan schemers. The
President is entitled to the thanks of the
country for an appointment which can
but improve his Cabinet"

At the south of us ON this continent are
100000 people, consumers of cotton
goods, and yet we do nothing towards sup
plying them. Why? Because by our pro-
tective tariff policy we declare that we
Will not trade with them. We exact such
heavy tariff tolls from every transaction
as to prevent trade, and in the long run
this must cripple our manufacturers and

NIr. Adams ut the Democratic Meet
inc

In the report of the Democratic meeting
on Friday night the following paragraph
occurs:
Rev. Emanuel Heidi moved the previ-
Gus question. Gen. LawtOn asked that
the motion be withdrawn, which was done.
Mr.. Adams again arose to speak, but was
Kissed down."
The last sentence is incorrect and does
Mr.. Adams injustice. There was consid-
cradle noise and confusion at this as at
other times during that very stormy gath
ering. and it was only with the greatest
difficulty that several of the speakers Sc
cured respectful attention. In this case
however, order was restored and main.

ruptedIy, and was listened to attentiYely

The national public debt statement just
made presents the curious feature of
about $4,000, 900 of unclaimed debts, and
upon which there is half a million due of
unclaimed interest. Many of the bonds
upon which this interest is due ceased
long since to bear interest, and yet both
principal and interest remain unclaimed.
Why this is so cannot accurately be ac-
counted for, but it is supposed that some
Of the bonds were lost by fire, or otherwise,

ling to risk a change Ofinyestment,O or trans

The Men Who Don't Vote.

1t is lamentable that of those who do
not vote a majority are those who are
most capable of exercising wisely the
elective franchise. 1t thus is plain that
this simple matter of neglecting to vote
magnifies the evil in our popular system,
which all recognize as being most danger
Gus. The power of the least capable and
least interested portion Of the voters is
doubled by the fault of those who indiffer-
emily stay away from the polls and after
elections. This non-yoting class do not
seem to reflect. Whether their indiffer-
ence grows out of their want of faith in a
popular system, or their disgust with its
abuses, they must nevertheless know
that in this country no other is possible,
or even thought of.

There is thief, or leak, or something
or other crooked, in the New York custom
house. and it seems that whoever or what
ever it is has been there for some years.
First. when Arthur was collector, $1,000
disappeared from the chill cage" in the
cashiers department. When Robertson
was collector $1,000 vanished in the same
manner at one time and $500 at another.
Now the missing money is $4,000 in gold
certificates. In the previous cases neither
the money nor the thief could be traced
This time strenuous efforts will be made
to ferret out the matter of the missing
money. Heretofore the theory was that
these discrepancies were errors OF the
money counters. The $4,000 disappear
ance case is convincing that there is a
petty thief in the custom house, and the
| collector promises TO hunt him out.
