Not Mexicanized.

President Andrew d. White, of Cornell
University, who has done so much to
shape the thought of young American
man hood, in an address to the young
Republicans at Syracuse, N. Y. said:
Bearing in mind the event OF the last
month brings up wildly scene Of the
first French Republic. When the old
Bourbon party had clutched once moro
at power and had gained 1t, then 1t was
that the friends Of liberty and progress

was said then. We as party are on the
Sd of December. what we were on the Sd
of November. We are still members Of
the Republican party. We are OF the
party which, when the democratic party
had wrecked the government saved 1t,
which fought out the war, which car
ried through the reconstruction meas
ures, which saved the currency, and
which purposes to carry it to still fur
Their triumphs.
We do not come togethsy to indulge
in recriminatiens or unavailing regrets.
We propose to favor no divisions in the
party. We propose to look forward and
not backward, down and not up. There
are few things ON which we have great
cause for cOngratulatiOn. First the ae-
quiesence in the will OF the majority,

A Democratic Tribute to Blaine.

There Is but one comment OH MI.
Blaines defeat-"He made q gallant and
brilliant fght!' Millions Of freemen
voted against him. Hundreds of thous-
ands labOred and schsmed. and eOntriv--
ed to compass his overthrow. A score OF
the most distinguished and infiuen-
tial Republican journals in the country
and many scores of Republican leaders
seeded from their party and lent their
efforts and their example to the cause or
the Democracy. Never before In the
history of our politics was there Pres
idential candidate 80 terribly handicap
ped for his race Handicapped by his
personal and official record; by the Bit
ter animosities of powerful men within
his party: by the independent movement
by the Prohibition movement; by the
mischieveus folly of such friends as DR..
Burchard; by every conceivable element
of weakness Mr.. Blaine yet made con-
test which was picturesque in its ex-
terror aspects, bewildering in its bril-
liancy. and startling in its narrow ap-
prOach to success, The campaign Is 0v-
or and the result is known. Mr.. Blaine
is beaten. There is no longer any doubt
as to the facts of the case. But he lost
by the thinnest margin ever developed
in National struggle, and the winner
may be pardOned for his labOred breath
ing and his reactiOnary tremor.
Looking back upon 1T all, one caa see
how small thing would have turned
the scale the other way, Sup
pose Mr.. Beecher had remained neutral
or continued his adherence to the Re-
publican party, and Mr.. Beecher's ward
had given its usual vOtel Suppose Mr..
orJ OF ia 70 OF " cnQaHh
WITCH insulted and alarmed thousands OF
honest citizens! Suppose MIR. Blaine had
not antagOnized the Stalwarts OF New
York i'm 1881, and made sullen neutrals
of COnkling, Arthur, and Plattl Suppose
Mr.. COnkling had exerted himself, even
in his own county (Oneida) which gave
Garfield 900 majority in 1880, and which
gave Cleveland % majority in 1854! Sup
pose anyof these contingencies, all or any
of them probable, and what would have
been the effect upon the result.
The fact that Mr.. Blaine handicapped
as he was with his record, antagOnized
as he was by the best and most respect
able elements of his own party, hamper
ed by injudiciOus friends and desperate
" opposed by implacable enemlSs-Mr.
Blaine surrounded and embarrassed by
such frightful disadvantages, lost the
race by the merest scratch. The wonder
Is not that he was beaten, but that he
came so near winning. Any other man
SIMILARLY circumstanced would have
been hOpelessly distanced. Mr.. Blaine
lost by neck. His bitterest opponents
freely recognize that he made superb
fight. They know, and they acknOwl-
edge. that his magnificent intelligence,
his matchless address, his dazzling clio
quence, his lmmeasurable courage,
brought him within a hairs breadth OF
achieving vietory.-New Orleans Times

tiOn of all one and two dollar legal ten
der notes. This Ia in accord with Secre
tarv McCullOch's suggestion, and would,
II adopted, bring into active circulation
the silver now stored in the Treasury in
excess of the outstanding silver certih-
Gates, and to that extent lessen the evils
and dangers OF the excessive coinage.
There Is little probability, however, that
Democratic House will consent to a
provision that curtails the volume of
gresnbacks in the least degree. PrOvi-
sion is made in the bill for the destruc-
ton of the silver certificates presented
by their holders for redemption. and for
the issue Of a new kind of silver certif-
cate based on the gold value OF silver
bullion. We question the wisdom of
cOmplicating our currency with another
kind Of money, or its representative. I'M.
til we get rid of one or two, at least, of
the many we have already. Gold, silver
dollars and fractional silver, each of diff
fsrent intrinsic values, are paid cut and
received without discrimination. In ad-
ditiOn to these we have legal tender
notes, national bank notes, gold certih-
Gates, certificates of deposit. silver GER
tificates, besides the token coinage, trade
dollars and old demand notes.
A silver certificate based on gold val
uation of silver bullion would still fur
ther cOmplicate the account, without
being unnecessary or even desirable in
the present expanded and chaotic state
of our currency. Let those who are
agreed upon the policy of suspending
silver coinage act together on that sin
gle proposition. Afterwards it will be
in order to devise some safe means Of
utilizing in our currency a portion of
our annual supply Of silver bullion, and
improve and simplify our volume OF pa
per money.

The Negro States.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
in article on the "COlOred Brother Prob.
lem," insists that the negro question is
destined to be tho important problem be-
fore this country for many years. After
referring to the results Of emancipa-
ton, and to the fact that the cOlOred peO-
pie in the South are pr0ereating faster
than In the days Of slavery, the writer
says:
Therefore, instead of the problem run
ming out by natural causes, the relative
increase shows that when the lower sec
tion of the United States shall be negro

OF Numbers, is only question of calcu-

There are ia the whole United States
500l7 post offices. OF these 1898 are
known as first, second and third, respect
lively, and are filed by Presidential ap-
pOintment confirmed by the Senate. The
remaining 1854 are. as fourth class Of
fees, filled by the Postmaster General
without consulting either the President
or the Senate. They include all Offices
where the pOstmasters receive an annual
compensation, exclusive of their COM
mission on the money order business of
their offices, of less than $1,000 per an
NUN.
small proportion of the fourth-class
p0stmasters enjoy this princely income
of $1,000 per annum. Lest the hungry
and thirsty Democracy should DO unduly
elatsd by the prospect of fat pickings in
the Offices over which the Republican
Senate has no voice, we have cellated
from the "Unltsd States Official Regis
ter" of 1883, and published elsewhere,
the number of post Offices in each state
and territory OF which the compensation
Is less than 800 per annum. There are
in addition to this number, several
thousand post Offices from which no re-
turns have been received. in all of which
no doubt the compensation was less than
800 per aunum. The compensation In
these 26,0l0 post Offices runs from 81 to
800 and averages about $38 each.
As the Democracy are all anxious to
serve their country. we expect there will
be vigorous scramble for all these NOR
sells Of Government pap.

st. Johns Price.

The Washington Star Of December 10th
published the following: For some
time past there have been vague rumors
as to the part the Prohibition ticket
played in the Presidential election.
Within the past few days they have
taken definite shape, and the story now
is that st. John was bought up by Dem
Ocrats to remain in the field to draw
votes from the ranks of Republicans.
The sum named is $4,000. Prominent
Republicans do not deny that their party
endeavOred to secure st. Johns with
drawal, Two explanations are offered
for their failure; one is they were 0utbid
by Democrats; the other, which is said to
be the generally accepted one, Is that
early in the fight st. John agreed with
the Republican managers to make his
campaign harmless one and eventually
withdraw from the field if necessary not
to injure Republican chances, the con-
sideratiOn being $4,000. After the Ohio
October election il Is said tho Republic
cans felt that they needed no assistance
and seemed 10th to abide by the agree
ment. 1t is said that $4,000 was then
being offered by the other side. st. John
accepted the offer and remained in the
field. One of the prominent Republicans
OF the district is known to have stated
the other day that st. John would have
withdrawn from the field for the consid-
Grafton offered and given the election to
the Republicans, but that the Democrats
offered higher bid. The Republican,
offer, rs he stated 1t, was $4,000, while
the Democrats made 1t $4,000.

Congress and Silver.
From Philadelphia Press.


A bill to suspend the coinage of silver
dollars has been introduced in the Sem
ate by Senator Mcpherson. 1t is said
that Judge Buckner, Of Missouri, who
has been heretofore most strenuous
silver advocate, is preparing House
bill with like object. There is already
q bill in the Senate, introduced at the
last session by the chairman Of the f.
nance committee, Mr.. Morrill,, to sus-
pend silver coinage, and year ago
Judge Kelly proposed the same thing in
the House, but failed to secure so much
40 its consideration.
Judge Kelley is an original silver ad-
yOeate. He spoke and voted for the
Bland bill in 1878, but lsng ago recOg-
nizsd the futility and folly Of the United
States attempting to maintain the price
of silver alone by the artificial process
OF compulsory coinage, aud he has labor
ed to put stop to it. II Judge Buckner.
the chairman of the House committee on
coinage and currency, has also been con-
vlncsd Of the unwisdOm Of continuing
stamping and storing silver dollars,
much has been gained, for he, at the
last session, was formidable obstacle
in the way of any anti-silvsr legislation.
Warner, Of Ohio, formerly silver bigot
Of the worst school, Is now understood
to DO opposed to its further compulsory
coinage. Mr.. Cox. of New York, q sup
porter Of the Bland bill, now wants sill
YER coinage suspended. All these evil
