THE complacent impudence of the Demo
cratic monkey toward its i'll starred chestnut
handlers, the mugwumps, is without prece-
dent. In possession of the coveted nuts, it
sets down to enjoy them while the mugwump
cat ticks its scorched paws. Even the St.
Louis Republican takes a whack at the mug
wumps in the following ungrateful manner
eff our prodigal friends, the mugwumps,
came back from their diet of Republican
husks asking to be allowed to enter the
Democracy in the true spirit of their proto-
type-if they came humbly, asking to be but
as our hired servants until the time of their
publication had expired-then would we be
willing to sit in the background, and see them
devour the fatted calf. But when they begin
at once to swing on the front gate, and to
assume the management of the entire farm,
we object to their having even shank bone

absurdity of limiting the. height of houses to
seventy feet on streets less than sixty feet
wide. This would prevent the building Of
structures Of more than four stories. An
extra ten feet is allowed on buildings on
streets over sixty feet wide. The writer
argues that it would be wiser to regulate by
stories instead Of feet; say six stories on mar
row streets and seven on wider. In the city
of Paris all the new houses are seven stories
high, and none higher.

How the Democratic editors who have been
attacking the Dolphin and its builder must
sigh when they read about the English naval
vessel which cost two and half millions Of
pounds and is total failure so far as its abil

which won't SO at all would be much more sat
isfactory as an argument against a Republican
administration than one which sails according
to schedule on the third trial.
