1t is now about time for the Demo-
cratic press to start up it's moral lecture
on the wickedness and foolishness of
slanderng presidential candidates. The
Republican editors are laying in fresh
stock of gall ink and mud mucilage.
Such is p.litics in partisan newspapers.

Mr.. TILDEN's letter of dcclination in
1880 was crafty bid for the nomina-
ton, but the democracy took him at
his word. His last declination appears
to be genuine, still he may yield to
pressure. He is not out of the list of
possible candidates by a long shot.

History repeats itself. In 1864 the
Democratic pa ty i'll its platform de-
nounced the war for the union as Il fail

party was mistaken; that was all In
1854 the Democratic party is of the opin-

go" 1t is mistaken again, that is all.

4 Mere Tail of the Comet.

This bolt contains all the little men
and small fry organs without any of the
large ones which were in the revolt of

Supervisors Women.

The most interesting question discussed

printed under tho title What Shall We DO with
Our Dau0hters2 LEO & Shepard). Is sug-
gested by tho existence In most civilized coun-
tries OF women who. on the assumption that
marriage Is the sole end OF tho feminine sex,
would DO pronounced superHuous. 1t will not
do for the advocates OF the old fashioned
method OF educating girls. whose specific aim
was the winning Of O husband. to wholly over
look the fact that for fraction OF the candi-
dates for matrlmony. spinsterhood Is really inev-
liable In many monogamic communities. owing
to the considerable excess OF females over
males. In France. for instance according to
tho Annuaire StdtistQue. there were In 1881
ninety-two thousand moro women than men,
though there has been pronounced tendency
toward Republication OF the sexes during the last
ten years. In tho German empire on the other
hand. tho StatstiSches Jahrbuch shows that in
1SSOthe number OF women exceeded that Of men
by $4,000. lnasmuch as the system OF con-
scription has for some time obtained In both
countries. and as 1t might be difficult to prove
that inebriety Is more prevalent among the
Germans than among tho French. We incline
to think that the deficiency Of males is mainly
due not as Mrs. Livermore supposes. to
war and drunkenness. but to emigration. In

and the multitudinous dependencies OF the
United Kingdom. To no other cause should DO
ascribed the surplus OF women In Massachu-
setts and some other densely peopled COM
munities ON the Atlantic seaboard. All
these facts taken together simply mean
that whereas over-population was cor
rected In primitive times by the extruslon
OF whole families and tribes. modern
nations relieve themselves from like surfeit
by the repatriation OF some OF their male men,

emigrants be q matter Of regret to the mother
