POLITICAL NOTES.

One OF the disadvantages OF telling lies 10 injure an
enemy is that 1t is almost impossible to make perfectly
cautious OF them Generally the liar tells one TOO
many and spells hi, little game. Thus the story that
during the Pfasted -Madign Congressional contest in
Maine in $50 Mr. Blaine wrote anti Catholic circular
for the discontinue OF Mr. Madtgan was ruined by tho
concocors themselves who couldn't resist the temptation

LIE DO.NOTHIYG CONGRESS.

Congress has finally adjourned after pass
ing about one in hundred OF the bills
aud resolutions offered for its con
sderation. Less than four in hundred
have been rejected. The rest, about nineteen
twenteths, still lumber up the records OF the
Do Nothing Congress. Most of the bills
passed, moreover, were of private character
and only % besides tho appropriation bills
are thought important enough to be men
toned in careful reviews of the sessions work
Ofthese, again. scarcely any have general public
interest The establishment of civil govern
ment in Alaska, the extension OF Alabama
claims. the act against cOunterfeiting foreign
bonds the grant of fifteen days leave each
wear to lettcr-carricrs, the two bills Tor rescue
of Greely, the provision for graduates OF the
Naval Academy, the bill against personatlon OF
public officials, the grant of power to the
Academy of Science to hold trust funds, the
bills for sale Of certain school lands, for prevcn-
ton of pleuro- pneumonia, for extension of time
In suit. for violation of the internal revenue
laws. for sale of abandoned military rescrya-
tons. and for changes IN the Judge Advocates
office. are so Tar of routine nature ana limited
importance that they would not be even men
toned IN the record of Congress that had
done anything.
The eight bills that remain are not much
more important. The DinPlcy shipping bilI
would have been Of general benefit, bnl II *
understood 10 have been 80 spoiled by Demo-
cratic "rcformersN that It's utility is doubted.
Beyond question, the bill Ia create Labor
Commission was thus cmasculated, 80 that the
wiscst and ablcst commissioners conceivable
will necessarily find himself much hamperod by
lack of information aud resources. The crca-
ton of separate bureaus of animal industry
and of navigation was not very important
at best, and of uncertain utility. The
reduction in postage On newspapers when not
mailed by publishers or agents, though Il small
matter, was proper enough. If there Is no JOB
behind the bill to create a branch home for SOL
diers west of the Mississippi, it need not be OBJ
iccted TO- and the bill regarding technical dcser-
lions at the close of the Civil War was perhaps
warranted. As for the repeal of the test oath
of 1sC2, the best that can be said is that il waG
a concession to House which would like to
have the former conduct of many Of its mem
beers. and of their associates in arms, forgotten
as soon az possible.
Strange as il may SEEM this brief and unim-
Dortant list covers the acts of public interest
tlat were passed during the seven months SEES

IS THE PART GREATER IH4N TIE UHOLE7
Last month at Chicago George William Cur
It's, In the course of his speech presenting Scna-
tor Edmunds for the Presidency, spoke OF the
Democracy in these scathing terms:
We are confronted with the Democratic party, very
hungry and, IA you may well believe, very thirsty; a
party without q single definite principles party without
any distinct National policy which IT dare present Ia
the country; party which fell from power as a con
sIracy against human rights. aud now attempts 10
sneak back to power conspiracy for piunder and
spoils
This WIS four weeks ago. Mr.. Curti5's opin-
ION of the character and tendency ol the
Democratic party can scarcely hIyo altered
since hc drew this crushing Indictment Aud
yet to.dny finds him lahorIug for Democratic
restoration with Cleveland IN the van.
And what is the reason Nj. tulti. u.sirus for
such grotcsquo inconsistency ., ho tell. the
public, Mr.. Cleveland Us a truly good man, %
uuiuc rcfouncr. Then the argument /, that
IN politics, if not in mathematics, part Is
greater than the whole. The Democratic part,
is hungry and thirsty it has appetite, where
once it had conyictions.' Never mind Clcye-
land is neither hungry nor thirsty, therefore let
as have a Democratic restoration. The Demo-
cratic party has not single principle il ha, no
National policy that ia dare present TO the coun-
try. What matters ~ Hand this party,
bcggarcd in craftsmanship, the reins Of govern
mcnt hasn't Cleveland been Mayor OF Buffalo
and Governor of Ncw-York two years The
Democratic party fell from power as conspiracy
against human rights, ana to-day, with heart I'M
changed, is attempting to sneak back to power
as Il conspiracy for plumber and spoils. Never
thclcss turn it loose at Washington; this man
Cleveland Is not a conspiracy bat an cstimable
gentleman Is this all there is OF the argument,
or does it go still further Does Mr. Curtis
want the country to believe that Cleveland is so
much greater than the whole OF which Inc Is a
part that his presence in the White House
would change the Democratic party from con
spiracy for plumber and spoils into an exponent

According to DR.. Koch, the German physician
the nlapue which now has so firm hold in the
South of France will certainly spread all over
Europe. as the germ of it cannot De Killed. py -
fumigation. Thisis rather despairing TieW ~
the situation, and if it is true it Is BIT Oh ,'e'
that DR.. Koch might better have kept TO MN
self Just now. The French are prone enough u
senseless panic as it is, and to say any'nins
likely to make them think that 1t is useless ~
fight the disease is certainly not utterlng wofu'
in season. Meanwhile, our Government is
showing commendable activity in taking pre-
cautions for this Nations safety, and has re-
ouested that French mail coming through Eng
land shall be fumgated before it is mixed with
British mail for America.

If people could only live on the interest OF
their debts,as is sometimes jOcularly suggested
the lately active partners in the firm of Grant
a. Ward would be royalty well-oH. Their liza
biIities amount to over sixteen millions. This
would De a tolerably respectable debt for
third class nation. The report OF the assignee
of this firm fled yesterday, also shows to what
n science the art of not keeping books can be
brought.
A rumor flying around the clubs uptown last
night that a case of cholera had been discov-

The college boat race at Saratoga yesterday

after. Ii is IA pity more interest was not taken

TO the fact that some of our colleges refuse to
