The demand for railway bonds seems to be dlmln-
ishng rather than increasing; that Is, there Is
smaller desire indicated to pick up the tTst-cass
issues than before has been noted, but there Is no
pressure to sell any amount of them. Some OF the
low-priccd issues, which are believed to DC
good and comparatively cheap with prices
ruling for stocks, show moro hrmDess on

SPEAKING of the Greenback platform, the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat is moved to de-
clare that there are some ambiguous clauses
in it, but these do not arise from any desire to
avoid an issue. They are of doubtful signif-
canoe simply because the authors of them
did not know what they were talking about,
and their indorsers were in the same boat "
Too many ambitious statesmen do not know
what they are talking about. They bloviate
and give utterance to too many rounded
periods of nonsense, and the man gifted with
ready language only too often mistakes
fuency for coherency and sound doctrine
The Greenback party is great sufferer from
this cause

occurred to contributors that it requires about
800, 600 to do $1,000 worth Of damage
to the enemy. Some less expensive or
more effective method will have to be
devised before the freedom of Ireland is as
sured. It is useless to discount tho boldness of
this last explosion. Scotland Yard is the
heart of the London metropolitan police sys-
TEN, one of the most efficient in the world,

anything there is no less rash than to plan an
attack on the Gar in his palace. The pitiful
result of this effort, however, will largely dis
count the GLORY" of its achievement,

An addition of the cost of the items in each
of these columns shows that the articles which
cost the worl1ingman $50. IS in 1860, could be
bought by him for $23.8S in 1881. From
these two exhibits it will be seen that
if he received $500 per year in 1850, be
would get 1920 in $780, the increase of DO per
cent, and his cost of living, item for item,
has decreased 80 per cent So that, if it cost
him $3.50 to live in 1860, he would have had
left him $40 at the end of the year The
same man, while receiving 1920 more in wages
in 1880, bought exactly the same articles that
he did in 1860, and at 30 per cent. less cost, or
$780, and consequently had 1924 left at the
end of the year, or twelve times as much as
he had in 1860. The fact that the working
man docs not save ten times as much as he did
in 1860 is to be explained by the fact that the
well paid mechanic Of this later day is not
content with the manner Of living
that obtained then, INDUCES in more
comforts, feeds, clothes and edu-
Gates his family better, and is better man
himself in every respect These are facts
known to all men. There are sporadic cases
where industrious and sober mon suffer, but
their number is growing less year by year, and

reafirm those principles that have been so

party, in its platform, has ever guaranteed
the greatest good to the greatest number and

THE defalcation of Colonel Burnside, of
the Postofiee Department, disoloses a system
of book keeping that would not be tolerated
in any respectable business house. If the
same method of keeping cash accounts, with
out checks or balance sheets, prevails in
other departments of the government, further
investigation might not prove fruitless. The
civil-service reform needed in that direction
must be brought about by examining candi-
dates for position on other subjects than the
spots on the sun or the interest on the public

the few who are obliged to stay at home to
milk the cows and do the chores. This is a
