The Chicago Tribune is very severe on the
Democratic majority in congress for its OPP
position to an appropriation for coast de-
lenses. 1t says that the neglect of our coast
defenses is one of the most shameful omis-
sions of congress. 1t has encouraged third
and fourth rate powers to assume an ag-
gressive attitude towards the United States,
and the threat that a single war vessel of
Chill could lombard San Francisco, or
German irouclad could shell and burn New
York was freely made when complications
with these nations were regarded as possible.
The Republican party has had possession
of the government for nearly quarter of
century. Eighteen years of that period have
been period of profound peace as between
the states. Why is it that during this time
there has been nothing done in the matter
of providing these essential seacoast defen-
cesl The Republican party had the power,
the money, absolute control of everything
and a tremendous majority behind it most of
the time which was of kind that would en-
dorse everything however unwise or unnec-
essary which the administration felt called
on to do. During this period did anybody
hear from any Republican source the thrill
ling cry for ships and defences which is now
going up from the organs of that
party, all over the landl There was not
even a peep. The party had other uses for
money. What those uses were it is not
necessary to detail. Suffice it that there is
not Republican representative, or senator,
or considerable official, who is not worth to-
day many times the total of all the salary
which he has received during his official life;
and this is true in com eetion with the fur
Their fact that a majority of all these men
have spent more than their salaries in cleo
ton expenses and the cost Of living.
Now, there is a small majority of Demo-
Gratis in one of the congressional houses. and
there is . tremendous onslaught on them be-
cause they do not proceed at once to do what,
if it should be done at all, should have
long since been begun and completed By the
Republicans If We need seaeoast fortifca-

WELL DONE.

The Swift County Press, in its issue of
July 9. announces that it has decided to
raise the Democratic banner The editor
SAYS that ssThis is aot sudden resolve, but is
the result of mature elaboration, and an I'M
alterable resolve to do as near as we can to
what we believe to be right, as well in poll
tics as in other matters. We believe that
the Democratic party is honestly striving to
perfect platform and principles which shall
rebound to the greatest good to the greatest
number" OF the other party he says
The Republican party is (self styled the party
of progress. The spirit of progression seems to
trend in one channel entirely-to create as many
and as rich spoils as possible, and then, under
the guise of specious promises, in the shape of
plausible platforms, inaugurate grand grab for
those spois This has continued until all the
professional pap suckers and office seeking par
astes are massed within the ranks of the party.
Such men can not from their very nature favor
prominent and lasting reforms.
The stand taken by the Press is right and
manly. 1t is brave and righteous. The over
throw of the Republican party is demanded
by every consideration that seeks for good
government, honesty and economy in public
affairs. The people are looking to the Dem
ocratic party to bring about this political re-
volution, and snatch the great Republic from
the corrupt rule that has encased it for
twenty years. The action taken by the Press
is to be highly commended, and
there is positive knowledge that many 9th
ers are inclining to the same step. The
tyranny of the dominant party is irksome,
81
times when men and journals are coming
forward and repudiating its hateful and cor
rupt shackles. The days of Republican in
timidation are fast drawing to close, and
better days are dawning before the Republic.
Let all who love honesty, who desire reform,
who esteem public purity and private integ-
rity, follow the example of the Press, and in
time, Minnesota, even, may be redeemed
from the domination of the spoilers.

Mr.. BLAINE's man Ramsdell is bowling
furious over the matter that Puck has intro
duced Gail Hamilton into its political car
toons. 1t doesn't count that Cousin Gail is
rs much of politician as Mr.. Blaine or any
other man, aud that no American man or
woman has gone to the length that she has
as political satirist or Caricaturist. Her
series of satires published in the New York
Tribune after Blaine's signal failure in 1876
have never been surpassed or equaled by the
pen -dipped-in-vinegar of any political writer
in this country. Her diatribes on the
principal men of the Republican party; her
savage exposure of their dilinquencies and
inconsistencies was the ammunition with which
Blaine sought to slay his enemies and pre-
pare the way for his campaign of 1880
Cousin Gail mercllessly ridiculed civil ser
vice reform and its advocates and all the
Blaine crowd applauded and reioiced. She
Is as much public property as Mr.. Blaine; is
more masculine in her habit Of mind than
most men, and it does not seem that as here
tofore she has sought no shield because she
Is a woman, that now she can feel anything
but contempt for the superserviceahle Rams
dell who desires that she be considered n
wise woman, when Gail herself holds the sex
I'm slight esteem as utterly inferior, herself
being only an exception.

TUE HORSE EDITORS VIEW OF 1T.
Chicago is already being gorged by poll
ticians and delegates from all parts Of the
country. The hotels are full the streets are
full, and some of the arrivals are in the same
condition. There are about as many favor
ties as there are delegates, although there
seems to be among all an answering
alliance to the Sage of Grammercy as the first
choice. They will give him vote in
memory of 1876, the Louisiana and Florida
returning boards, Eliza Pinkston Of the cleo
toral commission. They think they will
nominate him by reclamation, and then
await his answer before going on with the
procession. They do not seem to fancy that
Mr.. Tilden will accept; and on this account
the number of candidates held in reserve is
that of an army. The nomination of Blaine,
the bolt in the Republican party, the condi-
ton of business, and the discomfort Of the
country, leads them to suppose that Demo
crat is sure to be elected and any kind of a
Democrat at that.
Looking at it as a race, there are some
pretty tough old nags already in the stalls at
Chicago, and who are to be entered for the
November sweepstakes. Anything that has
ever shown any speed in quarter mile dash
at some country cross roads is on hand, and
it believed by his owners and hackers to be
the coming winner. Even that b. g., B. F..
Butler, is among the stock on hand, and
every day his admirers, with no regard for
his poor knees, his spavins, his wind gals
and his heaves, are trotting him out as the
animal which is a dead sure thing against
the field. In addition to this equine con-
estant, there are others that are regarded
also as sure winners.
There are rough nags with corns all over
their hoofs, from remote precincts in outly-
ing stalls, and which are proudly made to
amble before the spectators as something
possessed of phenomenal speed, wind and
bottom. There are some knee-sprung old
racers with a half dozen hairs left in their
poor old tails, and who are disposed to sleep
rather than travel, and who are brought out
with rush and a hurrah by their hackers,
and who, as they force up with main strength
the dropping heads of their Anticipated steeds,
tell of the races they won half century
ago, and predict confidently what they will
do in the future.
There are also some thoroughbreds al
ready gathered, some with records and some
without any; but all displaying by their
glossy coats, their slender necks and limbs,
their flashing eyes and their springy PAGES that
they are fit to run for life
IN fine the Chicago democratic stables are
filing up, anda curious public has ample OPP
portunity to inspect a gathering of racing
stock such as had not been before on view for
many decade.

4 Hint for TrareIcrs IN 1Ieeico.

This is queer town-El Paso I
mean. the American resort Thieves,
thugs and gamblers make upa large proper
ton of the population. AS elsewhere on the
border and miles and miles away down in
Mexico, the American tough is supreme.
Sometimes he dresses well, sports an eye
glass and a cane, and tells Of his rich pa in
New work or London, or some other place
heard of through the police columns of the
daily press. But don't believe him; he's a
tough notwithstanding his assumption. And
it is he and his comrades who are the
greatest foe to respectable travellers. They
are to be feared more than Mexican. When
you load your revolver preparatory to jour
ney along the border or toward the capital of
theMexican Republican, just put in five
shells for the American border scoundrel to
one for the Mexican assassin.

tary restraint. There is as yet no evidence
that the outbreak is that of Asiatic cholera,
although it is pronounced to be such by the
foreign cablegrams. The best evidence that
it is not Asiatic cholera is that it did not
reach Toulon from Asia, but that it first
made its appearance in that town. 1t has all
the appearance of septic cholera, which is as
deadly as the Asiatic type, but which does
not travel from point to point, and is liable
to break out in any places where the local
conditions are favorable.
! }The world is about in condition for the adj
vent of this plague. 1t is some sixteen years
since it made its appearance in various parts
of civilization, and within that time the peo-
pie have grown careless. There is always the
closest attention to sanitary conditions dur
ing the presence, and Immediately after
visitation of cholera. During this period OF
attention to cleanliness there is a low death
rate, and then people become indifferent.
They take less care of themselves and of
their surroundings. The result is condi-
ton which invites cholera, and other
flth-bred diseases; and then Natures
scavengers put in an appearance, and
there is period of cleaning up Nature
evidently by these processes is endeavoring
to relieve the race of those who by their
habits, their lives, and their constitutions
are endangering the perpetuation OF a
healthy race. The unclean, the intemper-
ate are the weeds in the human garden, and
these are pulled out at intervals so as to per-
nit the better growth of the valuable plants.
If we will not prevent the growth OF this
class Of human vegetation we may be sure
that it will be done for US by Nature herself.
She is cruel that she may be kind; she de-
stroys the few that the many may have room
to grow. and healthful atmosphere in which
to develop.
That the plague in Toulon and Marseilles
is or is not Asiatic cholera is not matter of
vital importance It kills all the same, and
the main question with people is, what shall
be done to prevent its appearance. Quaran-
timing is not to be objected to; but the vital
precautions should come from within, and
not from without. The thing to quarantine
against is intemperance in eating, and es-
pecially in drinking alcoholic liquors;
against all forms Of living productive of ex-
haustion of the nervous forces; against I'M
ventilated houses, unclean streets, impure
water, unripe fruit, and everything which in
terferes with digestion, or with temperate,
equable life.

CURRENT COMMENT.

A CASE came up III the United States District
court at Philadelphia where a party was charged
with stealing from designated depository of
the United States,'' the offense being the steal
ing of package of cloth, enclosed in news
paper wrapper, and addressed IL. M. Marks IL
Co., Chicago, Illinois, and left on the top of a
letter box because the opening of the receptacle
was too small to allow it to be put inside. A
man named Reitzs was seen to take the package
and conceal it in his hat. The defense was that
the taking of an article left the top Of a street
mail box does not constitute stealing from the
mails. Judge Butler sustained that view. He
said: 1.-THE top of a letter box cannot be pre-
sumed to be a designated depository of the
United States. Merchants and others should
know that unless letters and other articles are
put inside the box they are not posted Reitzs
was discharged.

ing. With exception of the senate amend
ment appropriatipg $3.50, 900 for the Nicara-

reached on the entire bill. The house con-
ferees refused to agree to that feature of the
bill and the senate conferees concluded to
consult with other members of the senate
before expressing their decision on the

be allowed till tomorrow morning, to make

SENATOR CoNGER, of Michigan, is the son of a
clergyman, also graduate of the Western Re-
serve college, which at the time of his maticula
tiou, although in Ohio, was the western Yale;
furthermore, he is a lawyer, has been member
of the lower house of Congress and is now occu-
pying seat in it's highest branch, and has just
been made a Doctor of Laws by the Gettysburg
college. This act of courtesy to the Michigan
Senator seems to be misunderstood in some way
by the Philadelphia Times, otherwise it would
not speak as follows: ''No farce could be more
ridiculous than that of comforting the honorary
degree of L. D. on Senator Conger, of Michigan.
