PROSPECTS NOT LNPROTLNG.

The election of Mr.. Payne in Ohio does not
give peace to the Democrats. What the Pocket
BoOkwater faction calls " the old crowd" did
represent somebody. Hart-istcd and hard
headed Democrats by the thousand in Ohio
heartily approved the positions of such men as
Messrs. Thurman, PendlctOn and Ward. Even
John G. Thompson had his host of friends.
These men had been Democrats when Demo-
crat needed to have some opinions on disputed
questions, and their opinions were in accord
with the settled convictions of large body of
voters. In short they represented something
besides their own bank accounts.
1t has happened several times before that the
Democratic party, wishing % get rid of itself,
so to speak, has put forward men who had no
convictions TO hurt "-whose opinions ON vital
questions were so vague or SO dexterOusly con-
cealed that nobody could discover them. On
such occasions the Old-fashiOncd BRASS
mounted" Democrats have not voted the Re-
publican ticket They have simply stayed ut
home or gone fishing. The net result, again
and again. has been thrashing so severe that

Some of the medical students at the McGil
University, Montreal are said to have behaved in a
very runanly manner to of the professors,
because he had raised the standard of examination
in botany. hy snOwballed him in the classroom
they hustled him; andthey even menaced him with
personal violence. No doubt many other kinds of
students are apt to be cotish and nsubordinate at
times, but somehow the genus medical student all
the world seems to have the aptitude for
ruilanism The fu-fledged physician is generally
person of suave and polished manner, but in his
larval state he exhibits frequently phenomenal
cantankerousness. 1t might be thought that his
course of training tended in some way to brutalize
HIM, but if this were the case he would manifest
the same tendencesin his developed condition.; and

Mr. Dana has been expressing his views on the
Democratic situation to a correspondent of The
PhRaiiptia Press with that rcmor5closi fraukness
which has occasionally appeared at critical points
in the partys history. He thinks that the election
Of Mr. Carlisle on the grounl that his policy would
be in the direction of Free Trade the basis of n
tariff for revenue only without any Protection in it
was great mistake. but he regards 1t as ais a
lamentable result" that Judging from recent express
sonsiD The COWier-,i0Urndl BG6d'O oui@and Kansas
Cty Times and Others attributed to Messrs. Carlisle
and Morrison, they propose to 'cut down duties
but keep Protection" This, he thinks indicates
that tho men who have been put at the head of
affairs are either Of decided conviction or
lack Intelligence and courage" and he expresses
profound disgust with such an idea. In this way,
the four Democratic leaders are "d--d if they do,
and d--d if they don't and must feellke return
ing the compliment at the expense of the Editor of
ILc an, who waits until the Democracy think
their mllk-pail is pretty full before he kicks it

cent more than they get now. This seems to be
a fair schedule. What is more important than
the price however, is the determination OF the
association not to let any skinned oradulterated
milk be brought to the city. In that the public
has vital interest. If the producers could do
something now toward securing the punishment
of every dealer who is caught selling unwhole-
some milk, they would be accomplishing about
all that could be asked of them.

The reduction on letter postage, which was made
bv the last Congress, was expected to cause some
deficit for a year two at least The hope was
that the free of the postal facilities by the
people would in a few years cause a sufficient in
crease of revenue TO compensate for the reduction
in rate But the returns for tn, quarter ending
December 81 Indicate that the increase is coming
much sooner than was expected. In spite of the
reduction in rate, the revenue was $j,653,S76 for
the quarer-only $1s3,S SOL per cent, less than
for the corresponding quarter of 1882 At New
York, where fifth Of the revenue is collected, the
loss was only $2j,31S; at Boston only $40, ,45J and
at Chicago only $1l,2S1, while the actual increase
at Brooklyn was $JG51, at Cleveland $685. at
Washington Sj,374, and at Buffalo 5000. These
returns encourage the hope that the service may
prove to he nc0rly if not quite sef-sustaining dur
