"MAY the yoke of Washington, Lincoln,
Garfield, and Grant bless the grand old Re.
publican party, and give the victory in
Virginia, Ohio, and New York, and bring
MS into the promised land in 1888" Sc
writes one Of The RFpUBLICAN's CORE
spondents in West Virginia in letter
remitting money for the weekly issue OF
this paper. Similar greetings come to us
daily from almost every s,ate in the Union
especially in the south and west. The zeal

AccoRpING to the New York journal OF
Commerce the highest scientific authorities
in England admit that the durability OF
iron bridges is matter of very great uncer-
tainty. They are comparatively new things,
and. as they grow old, they may become
altogether upsafe OF the elevated road
structures in New York city, this Journal
saws: sit is merely question of time when
no amount of patching will enable the road
to carry with safety the increasing traffic
which will come to It with the growth OF
the city," The editor goes ON to express
the belief that the present iron street OBJ
structing structure will prove only tempo
rary, and that by and by the elevated road
way will be over land owned by the com
pany and not in the streets at all.

THE Richmond Wing shows that as the
result Of readiuster and Republican rule,
from the LIST of August, 1879, to the 3lst Of
July, 1884, the free schools of Virginia were
increased three thousand eight hundred
and iifty-nine, and the number of children
blessed with free education was increased
one hundred and seventy-nine thousand

SOME Of the appropriation bills which

The Boston Traveller shows clear
understanding of the political situation
when it says that "the Virginia campaign
has % national significance and importance
greater. indeed, than the New York cam
paign. On its result more depends, and
northern Republicans owe it to the future
of their party and the triumph of republic
can institutions to thoroughly appreciate
this fact" The result in Virginia this year
will 20 a long way toward deciding whether
or not the south shall retain its Democratic
solldity in 1883. If the Republican party
can make breach on the picket line now,
half n dozen southern states can readily be
recovered three years hence.

THE President having notified Surveyor
Beattie that the civil service law and the
rules framed to give 1t effect must he COM
piled with in spirit and letter, and that the
construction put upon these rules by the
civil service commissioners is the official
one, which must be followed, the Philadcl-
phia Times pertinently suggests that There
is one thing more that Mr. Cleveland can
do to insure the execution of the law in the
administration of the New York custom
house, and that is when sending nomlha'
tions to the Senate to omit the names OF
Hedden and Beattie.n Mr.. Tilden would
approve the omission, but it would make

IT is true that Senator IIoar was mis-
taken In relation to the extent of changes
in the Department of Justice. But most
of those who are abusing him for an evi-
IDENTIFY unintcntionol error are glad of a
chance to oassai the one weak place in his
speech, because, by so doing, and doing It
in a noisy way, they hope to draw public
attention from the great truths which he
uttered 1t is an old, familiar dodge, but
its age does not prevent its successful use.

MR. $. B. WILSON, who was for many
years a clerk in the Office Of the register of
the treasury, has been put out of the posi-
tion which he had long filled with exem-
plary fidelity. Mr.. Wilson is now "A years
of age, but is by no means disqualified on
that account for prompt and efficient cleri-

the Irish voters who supported MIR. Blaine
will return to the Democratic party. And
the Philadelphia Press replies: "We think
not If they examine President Clcvclaud's
appointments they will be forced to the
conclusion that he does not count them
among his supporters" Possibly, If Min
lister Phelps could he induced to give the
Irish cause a lift in one Of his neat little

The Boston Advertiser, referring to Sen
ator lloar's Springfield speech, says that
"snce Wendell Phillips died there is no
body In Massachusetts who can success
fully dispute the senator's primacy in the
art of composing speeches which combine
the zeal of ruthless advocacy with the graces
of liberal culture" 1t is because of the
senator's capacity to deliver hard blows that
he is so rudelyand mlustly assaied. There
is no man in public life who has more
kindly sympathies or broader charity than
George +. lIoar.

In my last article it was stated in the CON

reached the north bank Of the james, after
being thoroughly douscd by an upset Of the
ferry boat. When we had dried our clothes
little, the journey was resumed in the
direction of GorlOnsvilc, In as straight u
line as the direction of the roads would per
nit. There were numbers of returning Nir-
ginians on the route ahead Of us, and we
had to proceed slowly, for our horses were
about as nearly played out as we were. As
a consequence the country was pretty well
"eat outn in front Of us, and we had 10

Aquilla Jones, postmaster at Indian

wumpism bites its nails. Higgins makes
faces, rolls his eyes horribly, draws the
forefnger of his left hand ominously
across his throat from the right ear to
the left, and emits choking sound from
his throat. Aquilla Jones talks loudly
about the sort of appointments he would
like to make, and with sacrilegious irrev-
erence about competitive examinations.
But the civil service schoolmasters who
draw pay from the government for wan
dering about the country catechising the
bad boys of the republic do not find any
thing in the civil service rules to make
grimaces or the cacoethes loquendi a
penal offense. So Aquilla Jones, like
Higgins, sticks.-Neto York World.
