He can be of no use in the fight which must be made
against the gold men and the present administration
He may be clever theorist but he lacks that prac-
tical intelligence which brings success out of emer-
gencies 1t is not only possible but probable that the
gold will be successful in the next Congress.
The silver men are fighting at disadvantage. The
sooner they realize this and push the practical to
the front and the Greenback eecoinage cranks to
the the better their chance of winning will be-

IT will not be worth while to discuss the admission
of other States while such community as Dakota re-
mains deprived of snare in the government. There
many for believing that share of national
power could be safely ntrusted to the Indians of
the Territory than to the people who nave made the
South solid by driving from the polls nearly a
million coored citizens But there is occasion to
admit any other States whose fitness for all the
duties of self government can be questioned. The
Nation has quite enough to do to defend its laws
some of the States which now claim a share in the
law making power-New York Tribune.
AS long as elections were believed to be between
parties seeking the spols of Office the Republicans
won because in other regards they were more trust
worthy. AS as the Democrats, by the character
and anecedents of their candidate held out the hope
that their success would not be followed by mere
turnover of the Offices but would tend to the estab
lshment of business methods in public business they

THE ex-confederates not half greedy for

1t is rather surprising fact that the South has
not clamored for the spos so loudly as the North
since the advent of the administration. AS to
ex-confederate solder-the men who did the fighting.
not the men who did the Ginning for the Southern
cause-they should be hastily accused of desiring
an indiscrimnate raid the ex-Unon soldiers in
Office. The fact is, the soldiers both sides have
kindly feelings toward each other They followed the
example of their respective leaders, Grant and Lee,

THE loyal people of the North cherish no hostile
sentiments towards those who attempted to dissolve
the Union. They are ready to grant everything that
is reasonable Tor the sake of harmony and substantial
friendship But they not ready concede that it
is right or necessary or polite to give studied and
persistent preference the class that against the
government actively covertly, at the time of it's
greatest peril They nothing in theory of
that sort but deliberate purpose to keep alive the
issues of the war and to rebuke and huiliate those
who stood by the cause of patriotism and national
honor. There be restoration of brothery trust
and affection forgetfuness of past differences and
sufferings, while such policy is in operaton.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
THERE is an abundance of idle money but people
are afraid buy for the tendency of prices has been
steadily downward. Everybody has admitted for a
long time that prices too low; but they keep going
lower, and nobody knows whore the decline is to be
checked On the other hand, there is apprehension
all along the line that the bottom has been reached
and people generally afraid to sell for future de-
livery. Ii there were large short interest there
would be encouragement for the bulls to snare the
bears and put up prices them AS it is there is
universal stagnation in the markets and this NAV
continue until the threshing machines begin to work
the crop and the estimate of the shortage shall
prove to be actuality. Then very decided reac-
ton will set in The farmers will get good prices for
their new crop.-Chicago Tribune
THE end of such conflict [the iron strike1 can
easily be foreseen. If the struggle be maintained it
can only have termination. When the workmen S
fund is exhausted they must give in The only thing
that prevent such a result will be sudden and
vast revival of activity in the demand for manufact
ured iron, of which there is prospect or hope In
the fight some of the millowners NAV be driven to
the wall and ruined but it is hard to how this will
benefit the workmen. 1t will only reduce the oppor.
tunities for employment when the strike is over.
Meantime, the ideness of the men, the cessation of
so much productive labor, must necessarily have a
disastrous effect other industries, and so what
might have been but partial loss to few is forced
into becoming widespread distress to the many.
And the very who will suffer the most are those
that most urgent in bringing the evil days upon
themselves. Louis Globe Democrat
THERE has been from the first, and is now, hearty

not only disgraceful but seem to be done delber
