CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

A CoNGREss divided against itself is not likely 70
accomplish any great and benefcent reforms. It Is
will be Repubican-and with Republican executive
and Republican Congress legislation upon all sub
Jects will be conducted in accordance with the en-
lghtened sentiment of the country.-New York Trib-
AN ounce of practice is worth ton of theory and
the most convincing argument in favor of protection
is the fact that though almost without exception, the
professors of political economy all against It. and
so teach free trade sooner do their pupils leave the
colleges, enter upon the duties Of active life and
gage IN manufacturing mercantile operations than
they become protectonsts. Good reasons are re-
CURED thus to overbaance all the preudices Of ones
youth, but the reasons in this case are always found
and Away satisfactory-St Louis Globe Democrat.
THE hypothetical case is always so wrought as to.
bring the answer desired, and the medical experts
serve the purpose of clearing the murderer far
they can, by answering positively that the man must
be insane, as if they knew anything about it. In this
case the hypothetical testimony of the doctors was
enough to give the jury for acquitting the
monstrous murderer who straightway would be found
not insane enough to be confned but the Jurors were
faithful to common sense andto the community, while
the hypothetical experts faithful only to their
own trade.-CincinnatiC Commercial Gazette.
THE President has held the bill long enough to give
IT careful considerable and has last done his duty
by vetoing it. and the veto with double force
hrst as the official act of the President and second
as the act of the Oommander-in-chiefo Of the army
torbiddlng recreant soldier and an officer who had
violated the first duty of solder in de6anty refusing
to obey the orders Of his superior to return to the
army-an offense henous enough at any time doubly
SO when committed at a time Of grave danger, and
rarely if ever before allowed to pass without the ex
IRENE punishment Of death.-C Chicago Tribune.
WITH the prospects of large harvest with sound
and stable currency, there is no cause for alarm
stocks will huctuate but with abundant harvests bu
sness can not long remain depressed The tendency
to curta which is exhibited in the boarding Of money
will be salutary If it is not unreasonaby protracted
and while there serious apprehension that sck
will the case occasional failure may be enough of s
scarecrow to brighten the tid into the belief that
panic is impending and thus continue the stringency

the best posted business men see little to portend
financial troubles but 1t is unfortunate that these do
not IN all cases hold the pursesrings of the country
Chicago News.
IT is the old combination over again England eggs
on the solid South to break down the Industrial sgs
tenn of the North. The papers in London are as pro-
nounced and as bitter against Mr. Blanes election as
are the free-trade papers of New York There is no
parallel that we can recall to the nsolent interference
OF foreign press in purely domestic contest in the
United States. The whole secret Of the English hos
tlty is that Mr. Blaine is an outspoken protectionist
and that he is advocate of the extension Of Aer
can trade and commerce in every field where the en-.
sterprise of his countrymen can gain footing The
English opposition to Mr. Blaine is one of the strong
est possible reasons for Americans to support him.
