Congress voted to loan the New Orleans
Exposition 81. 000, 900. on condition that
certain appropriations would be made by
the city OF New Orleans and other parties.
The funds were drawn out and expended,
and now commission presents petition
for the loan of another $500, 900, and the
President has recommended that it e
granted. 1t is probable that it will be, as
previous action on the part of the Presi-
dent in inviting other nations to partici-
pate in the Exposition, has made it Ma
tional and imposed an obligation on the
part of the government to make it q sue
cess if possible. But the appropriations
by Congress ought to be called gifts instead
of loans, as from the exhibits made OF the
financial condition of the show, there is
not the slightest probability that the
management will be able to pay q cent of
it back. However. if the Exposition
should, in the end. prove q success in
other respects and be a means of opening
up large trade with foreign countries,
there might be some compp nsation in
this.

The question Of restoring Gen. Grant
to the position in the army he held before
he was commanded by the people to take
charge Of the Executive Department of
the government, is not likely TO become a
law. The bill passed by the Senate pro-
vides that the President be authorized to
appoint some one to the office of General
Of the Army, not naming the person or
really making the appointment Another
bill designates General Grant as the per-
son to be appointed. 1t is known that the
President vetoed the Fitz John Porter bill
on the grounds that it interfered with his
constitutional prerogative of appointment
in naming Porter. The object of the
Democrats in insisting it on the present bill
is to force President Arthur either to veto
the bill or stultify himself by signing il.
when he refused his signature to q similar
measure for the relief Of Porter. 1t is
this constipated partizanism which is ar.
resting measure of simple justice to the
grand old hero. Rather than lose an OPP
portunity to score q point on the Presi-
dent the Democrats are willing to see az
injustice perpetrated upon Gen. Grant
now broken in health and fortune, and de-
feat a measure that commends itself to
the sense of fairness and right Of the PEG
pie Of both sections. Gen. Slocum tried
to get up the bill on Monday last, bnt
the Republicans voted against it, as
well as q few Democrats, and consequent
ly the necessary two thirds were not OBJ
tanned. The vote stood 1853 to 103. The Ed
munds bill could be passed without diff
Guilty, and thus accomplish all that tht
real friends of the legislation asked for
but then it would not embarrass the Pres
ident, and to do that is what the Demo
Gratis want,

The Blockley Almshouse, on the west
side of the Schuykill river, at Philadel-
phia, was partially burned OIL the night of
the 18th, and eighteen of the raying ma
MACS were consumed in the flames. They
were on the third floor, and so rapidly
did the fire progress that before they
could be all reached eighteen were beyond
rescue. There were over six hundred in
mates in the asylum, all of whom were
gotten out except those mentioned. The
screams and cries and historical laughing
of som, Of the poor unfortunates were
intensely distressing. Some of those who
were saved attempted to run back into the
flames, and were only restrained by physi-

~
the Cabinet as they were Il month ago
Mr.. Cleveland, up TO this time, has Sc
curely kept his own secrets, in this re-
spect, if he has any. Every day some new
name is mentioned, or some fresh reasons
given why this or that man, already
named, may or may not be selected. OF
late there has been much talk of eX-Sena-
tors Thurman and Mcdonald as probable
Cabinet timber. Either would be popu-
lar with the old line Democrats and accep-
table generally to the country, as they are
both known men Of ability and integrity.
John Quincy Adams and Josiah G. Abbott,
of Massachusetts, have 10th been slated
for the Cabinet, and many believe that one
or the other will be invited. But this is
merely street talk, as is the case with
nearly every one mentioned, except proha-
bly, Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Garland-both of
whom seem to be settled on as Cabinet Of
ficers, il they will accept.

tial aspirations. The inherent force of his
character, added to the relation he will
hold to the administration by reason Of
his admitted leadership i'll the House, will
necessarily have an influence in forming
the Cabinet. 1t is safe to say that the
free trade sentiment will not predominant
among the constitutional advisers. Even
if it did, legislation in that direction could
not be effected, with Randall'S power,
united with that Of Republican Senate
to prevent it. Altogether the outlook is
not very favorable to Democratic harmony
and even an open revolt is not among the
impossible things.

We have thus briefly referred to this his
tory to show that the Republican party of
1885 is not the Republican party of 1876,
but that the leaders Of the movement
which saved Virginia that year are the
leaders Of the Republican party of to-day,
and that the Democratic party of 1885, is,
substantially the same that wore the cloak
of True Republicans in 1870 to gain power
and then directed it to defeat the very
ends which it was pledged to subserve.
If we do not mistake the temper and
mind Of the people of Virginia, this mod
ern Democratic party cannot command
their confidence on its record i'll State mat
tiers. Nor will it be allowed to pose be-
fore the country as the friend of protec
ton to American labor and American in
dustries, nor to popular education, as re-
Elected in the Blair educational Bill. Its
record there is too distinct and plain to be
mistaken or misstated. 1t has no states
maEship in it.that comprellends the needs
of the State or Nation and 10 identity
with the origin of measures which have
for their object the welfare Of the people.
1t lives on purloined capital and cannot
formulate platform or discuss an issue
in the hope of winning popular favor, I'M
less it appropriates the ideas and argu-
ments of Republicans. AS u political

The action of South Dakota in set

the attention of the United States Sens
ate. Senator Vest is the champion of
the opponents to admission, while Sena-

about as much. effect upon
the Morrnons and the Mormon

the possibilities, but why any Mormon
should trouble himself about a matter
