1t is base ingratitude for organs Of
the late Z. o. p. to keep pitching into
the retired statesman j. G. Blaine.
For instance the Chicago Mail (Ex-
Postmaster General Frank IIatton's
paper Of recent date says:
Mr. Blaine's organs should not whine loud
because he was not an honorcd guest at the
Grand Army reunion. 1t was not II reunion of
substitute scnders. II was gathering oFgenuine
rN soldiers.
1t was this man Blaine who in
congress II few years ago famed into
life the dying embers Of sectional
hate, thereby making possible the
longer continuance in power of the
republican party. And if it were
not for this Substitute sender "
many now eminent republican
,statemen would never have been
heard of outside of their school
districts, or counties mt most, and
the ingratitude which they show to-
wards their benefactor is by no
means worthy OF imitation. If
Blaine had been successful his word
would have stood against against
the world, but now there is scarcely
partisan republican editor SO poor
rs to do him reverence.

Word comes that John Roach has
made an assignment for the benefit
of his creditors. 1t is quite gener-
ally supposed that he is trying a
sympathetic dodge to get the better
of the government. 1t is quite
likely that broken down ship
builder would meet with greater
public favor than a rich contractor,
whose riches had been secured
through the maladministration OF
the navy department. Probably
if he had not subscribed so literally
to the campaign fund last year, he
would now have more cash on
hand, to pay his honest debts.
With his own selfish schemes Mr.
Roach has helped crush out the
ship building industry in this coun-
try, and if he is really now financi-
ally embarrassed he is not entitled
to great deal of sympathy. One
fact is established and that is that
he can not palm off any poorly con-
structed vessels on Secretary Whit.

A correspondent writing of the
republicans of New York state
likens them to the French Bourbons,
who although defeated and exter-
minated, still build hopes on their
divine right to hold office, and ex-
pect to regain place as a species of a
matter of course" Now, we can
realize that we have had change
indeed. Nothing short Of a change in
our local post Office could be strong
er evidence Of the fact than the using
of this scornful appetlative, bourbons,

applied exclusively to democrats

In Il recent interview friend OF
General Grant reports that during
the electoral contest of 1866 that
Gen. Grant believed that Tilden was
elected. He never had any sym
pathy with the movement to put
Hayes in, although he would have
maintained order in Washington
against any attempt i'll the direction
Of anarchy upon the part of the dis
appointed and outraged democrats.
He favored the electoral commission
because he believed that such a com
mission would result in establish
ing officially the fact of Mr.. Tilden's
election. He has often said, in pri-
vate conversation, that he wondered
how any man could afford to accept
the Office, rs Hayes did, with the
faint of fraud attached.

Supervising Surgeon General lIamil-
ton discussing chol era last week, said
that" every government should bring
press ure to bear on England to induce
that government to stamp out cholera
in India" This is very good advice.
The original breeding place of cholera
is ut the religious shrines of India, the
holy cities that are visited annually by
hundreds of thousands of dirty and de-
filing pilgrims. Benares. on the Gan
ges is notable locality for the product
ion of cholera. The disease breaks out
among the pilgrim throngs and is car
ried Ivy them on their return all over
India and adjacent countries. The Brit
ish government refrainS from insist
ence upon stringent sanitary regulat-
ions because it fears general revolt if
any attempt is made to interfere with
the absolute freedom of religious OBJ
Servances among the subject people.
Thus the whole civilized world has had
to suffer because one of the strongest
governments on the earth fears the
fanaticism of a horde of filthy pilgrims,
who could be compelled to observe GER
tam essential sanitary laws without
any interference with their religious
faith.-Pioneer Press.

The Courier Journal is vigorously
supporting the administration. In a
recent editorial it saws:

The President with a courage which his ell
emies call an unreasoning obstancy, isstriylng Il
redeem the Government from the hands of spoil
men, and to save the party from the narrow
minded bigotry of the professional office seeker
He did not commit the party to the new policy
of reform; he has sought only to give effect 4
the repeated declarations in favor of this funda
mental change. If there was no sincerity in
these declarations the nomination of the Chicago
convention should not have been given 10 Mr.
Cleveland. He more than anv other leading
Democrat, embodied the issue Of civil service
reform, and no man is firmer than he is in the
face OF party or public clamor IN carrying gu
his personal convictions. Whether or not We
like it, the Democratic party is irretrievabl,
committed to civil service reform. 1t canno
now turn back If il would.

The Pioneer Press takes most
encouraging view of the crop pros
poets of all the country tributary to
st. Paul and Minneapolis and
ventures to predict that the coming
year, beginning with the impending
harvest will be the most prosperous
i'll the annals Of those thriving cities.
This bright prospect is the more
remarkable ON account of the general
business depression. And i'll that
the region of country referred to is
almost wholly agricultural is a
lesson which citizens of the United
States would do we'll to heed, i. e.,
that agriculture is the most impor-
tant and profitable of our industries,
and ought not to be slightingly con-
sidered nor burdened with needless
taxation. The prosperous condition
IN this dull year Of 1885 of a section
of country almost wholly free from
protected industries ought to set
at rest all apprehension caused by
the senseless cry about the danger
of becoming n purely agricultural
country. We do not say that agri-
culture is the only industry upon
which we ought to rely. All indus
tries which are self sustaining and
profitable, and there are many, are
greatly to be desired. But the
proposition that a country must tax
itself to foster its less profitable in
dustries in order to attain the high
est degree of prosperity is absurd.
The true way is to leave all indus
tries free in order that the most
profitable may be carried TO their
highest development. The spec
tacle now presented is, that while in
the protected industries there are
strikes, idleness and distress, the
first signs of returning prosperity
are to be seen in agriculture, the
great unprotected industry, and in
section the chief product of which
is wheat, which must neces-
sarily come in competition with the
much talked of wheat produced by
the cheap labor of India.
