Nothing is more suggestive of the
despair of the Democratic party than
the rumor that John Kelly will retire
from politics, Kelly, himself an able
and agreeable man, is the great centre
Of the Democrrt spoils system about
which German and the lesser lights re-
yolye. So long a, there is the least
hope Of success men of the John Kelly
type will stand by their party When
hey begin to talk of retiring it is safe
To aasume that they do so in order to
toTestall an inevitable fate.

The War Department, in proposing
TO eourt-martial an officer far marrying
his mistress, has grabbed the wrong
horn of the dilemma. What the de-
partnent chooses to regard as a crime is
really the only reparalion that an officer
guilty of maintaining such relation can
make to the woman and to society. II
the tender feelings of army officers are
chafed by rubbing against the abstract
principles of right and wrong, it does
not follow that the War Department
shoald make itself ridiculous in trying
to heal the wounds.

NJ. Editor: The curious, eager

and To-! it is gratied at last. Behold
the modern Colossus whose widening
steps bestride a chasm through whose
portals new and strange ships Of mer-
chandisc are invited to pass.
But leaving allegory and coming
down to plain talk our meaning is this:
that the Port Tobacco Times after much
aud long continued balderdash to the
contrary, has finally discovered that the
local county offices are essentially and
entirely non political in their character,
and should be divorced from all political
influences. II thank thee, Jew, for
teaching me that word" When the
writer Of this has thought fit TO exercise

candidates for local offices" not consd.
