1t was fractional disputes that lost the State of
New York; and fully half of these disputes were
caused by letting the mugwumps run the cam
paign. The blunder was fatal. 1t is not likely
to be repeated. -Cincinnati Sun.
We've got no time to waste obscure mud
hens, like the Mirror. the mental paralytic of the
Mail the double distilled idiot of the Decatur
Post and the arrogant and self-conceited dude of
the Mail-Paris (Texas) Balance Wheel.
What is presented to the country by the free
traders and the advocates of cheap goods is
entire dslocation of industrial relations with each
other and with the world. and it is dislocation
this country cannot afford.-New York Tele-

And now the war map walks its weary round
of the press, giving about as much information
to the inquiring reader as would the track or
cockroach which had been in the ink bottle.
Turn to the atlas for genuine information.

The nearest resemblance that can be found to
a mugwump is French Radical. He has about
the same quantity of self-conceit; he makes
quite much noise and. in fine, there is about
as little of him there when you come to figure
him up-Catholc Herald.
We do not anticipate that any condition is
likely to arise within the next two years which
will give to Mr.. Hendricks the Importance which
at one time attached to Judge Davis, as the rep
resentative In his own person Of all the respon-
sibilites pertaining to the balance of power.
Boston Advertiser.
We are not surprised that Prince Bismarck
chews the cud of disappointment, or that he
utters growl now and then Still, our country
is large. and so long as men and women can get
a better living in America than elsewhere, the
tide OF immigration will continue to flow this
way.-New York Herald.
The New York World criticises Secretary
Bayard for appointing Charles Forester, of In
diana, consul when he foreigner. The
Secretary was not at fault. Mr.. Forester has
been an active Democratic politician for several
years, and. naturally, Mr. Bayard assumed that
he was citizen.-Boston Journal
All indications point to the certain and possibly
abrupt disappearance of the Southern question
from national politics Politicians may regret
1t. Honest statesmen may deplore the failure TO
reach just conclusion regarding it, But what
ever their feeling, all sensible men will recognize
the fact and try to govern themselves accord
ingl New York Times.
The Indian undoubtedly thinks that he owns
the entire United States, but it is only in his
mind. In an imaginary court of equity his claims
might hold good, but the United States gov
eminent Is his earthly master. 1t should give
him all the rights of the citizen throw him on his
individual resources, and compel him to work
out his own salvation. Albany Express.
If Mr.. Curtis had abored with half the zeal
to keep the party up to his own ideal that he put
into the work Of disintegrating the party, he
would not find himself inquiring seriously how
to undo that which he labored to accomplish
year ago. A more senseless desertion of great
principles account Of personal pique was
never recorded in the history of great party.
Boston journal.
The Republican party is a great party, with
vice and comprehensive policy to enfore in mat
tiers of politca! rights industrial interests and
other great problems which properly pertain to
the sphere Of political duty. If singleidea
fanatics think to bully that great party into an
Endorsement of their hobby they reckon badly.
With the Republicans the tail never wags the
dog. Albany Express.
There is nothing more imperative in our politi-
cal system than the publication of the ballot box
and the absolute suppression of all methods for
subverting the popular will There should he no
sympathy expressed for the scoundrels engaged
in such crimes and there should be no leniency
displayed in enforcing the penalties of the law.
They should be inexorably enforced to their full
extent.-Chicago Tribune.
Burglars may enter hundred houses and
emerge in safety. But the night comes when
they trip in the dark There is cry of alarm
They attempt to fly, but retreat is cut off, Then
they are caught or commit a crime they had not
dreamed of. The end is the same-the prison or
worse So it is with those who take up arms
against the community in any way. So may it
always be.-Chicago News.
Children cannot be taught to walk alone by
merely showing them how it is done and then
leaving them alone. They must have help and
support while they developing and training
their muscles. So must the Indians be helped,
but only so much as is necessary to protect them
from falls which would injure them. And the
sooner this work is begun. the sooner will it
bear fruit.-New York Tribune.
1t is something to be assured of the fact that
bottom has been touched in the iron trade, and
that an increased demand has sprung up The
cheering increase comes in gradually and stead
lily, and it may on that occount be all the more
violent and eccentric boom. The present condl
tion of the trade is clearly not the result of
manipulation. Let US hope it is both healthy
and promising. -Atlanta Constitution
The mad rush for Office which comes with
every change of administration is overpowerng
The patronage of the executive is too large for
disposition at the hands of any single human be-
ing. The true remedy for this evil growing out
of the growth of the country, is au enlargement
OF the scope of civil-service reform, so that
Presidents Cabinets and congressman are all re-
leved of everlasting selfmposed and misused
responsibilities -Philadelphia Record.
Certainly we do not sigh for citizens resem.
bling the French Canadians, who break out in
riots because malefactor, in whose veins un-
fortunately, French blood runs, is hanged for
leading rebellion against the Dominion We
probably should not have hanged Riel over
here. Indeed he might, in time, have had a
seat in some Democratic Presidents Cabinet
but still there is no aching void in this country
for men like him. or even for men who directly
or indirectly applaud rebellion New York
