THERE is one point in the Cincinnati
Eaquircr's attack on tho administration
which cannot be kept too prominently
before the public gaze, Referring to the
foreign apRou u:ments of the State Depart
ment, the writer says! more than half
thus honored are meu who do not believe
in tho common unity Of their own govern
newt They are its citizens because Of
the p0Yer Of the government to prevent
them from being its aliens. They go
abroad impregnated with ideas which
advancing progress has left them only as
ruminations," Lot It bs borne in mind
that this crushing condemnation is pro-
bounced by souudly Democratic writer
in the leading Democratic paper Of the

THE Philadelphia Times takes q whole
some view Of the AnglO.Russian question
1t says that "whon the true inwardness
OF this great crisis is written it will be
seen that Granville by far.reaching diplo.
macy in securing allies and Gladstone by
large and human statesmanship admit
ting the natural rights Of foe and the
empress of India by strong and noble
instinct for peace have saved the world
from what threatened to be the most un-
reasonable aud fearful war of modern
times" 1t strikes us that this Is more
sensible aud Christianlike than bowling
at Gladstone because he has not rushed
Europe into tho flames OF war.

Perish the base thought that Demo-

Mr.. JUSTICE FIELD makes prompt
denial of the current rumor that he was

OUR morning contemporary, the Post.
has just discovered that the boss system
of dividing spoils is not confined entirely
to Republicans, but may be found accord
ing to opportunity, to exist even in pious
Democratic circles Ii has suddenly
flashed upon tho able mind of our con-
temporary that the apportionment of GER
tain federal Offices in Virginia to the
special friends Of certain congressman at
their recent conference was not altogether
in accordance with civil service rules and
something too nearly akin to the sins so
vehemently charged upon their opponents
in recent campaigns in that state to be
comfortable. The average Democratic
congroSsman's eyeglasses grow exceed.

perity, and ii will require a good deal Of

edited organs to pull some Of them safely
