SECRETARY MANNING has removed since
March 20, over three hundred superfuous en-
pioyes of the Treasury Department, whose
services as salary drawers were not needed,

removal saves the country little matter of
something like 100000 a year. Economy
and reform are an excellent match team.

The st. Louis Republican publishes q bit
of news when it says: 1.-THE more il-natured
Republican papers must have some sort of
grievance against the South, and the one they
are now dealing with is the objectionable act
of North Carolina in calling for lists of its
manned soldiers preparatory to providing
them with gingerly pension out Of its own
treasury There are few papers, NE appre-
bend, that offer serious objection to Southern
States pensioning disabled ex-confedelate sol
diers That is matter that concerns only
those States, and the only possible objection
that can be raised is that the loyal residents
of the States are taxed alike with the others
to pay for the maintenance of men who tried
to overthrow the government The Repub-
lican is intelligent enough to appreciate this
injustice, and seeks to anticipate and destroy
its force. IF the fellows Of wounded confed-
crates want to pension them, let them do So
They certa; ~ are deserving Of Southern
sympathy.

IT looks as though rags, the most inconse-
quential merchandise in small quantities, are
shipped from all parts of the world recip-
rocally. When the cholera breaks out, the
first thing done is to interdict the shipment of
rags from the infected region. 1t was so
when the epidemic was raging in Egypt and
it was true when it appeared in Italy, and now
the government Of Holland has forbidden the
importation of rags from Spain From this it
appears that rags sell best in a foreign market
or they would be used at home.

A WASHINGTON paper makes the rather
equivocal announcement that it has the per-
Ional assurance of Hon. Zachariah Montgom-
cry, Assistant Attorney general, and "author
of the famous pamphlet Drops from the
Poison Fountain" that he never uttered nor
entertained the sentiments in regard to the
public schools which have been credited to
him. The Drops, it is to be inferred, are
of another sort of poison. But in any case the
public has an antidote at hand in the blessed
right to decline perusal of the pamphlet. ;,

IT is said that the introduction of natural
gas as fuel in the iron mills and glass fac
tories at Pittsburg will result in saving no
less than 3S,25O,0OO bushels of coal per an
mum, or about one-seventh of the output in
that region. This means, first, that there
will be a fall in the price of coal; and, second
ly, loss of work to good many men, not
only in the mines, but in Pittsburg-the men
who handle this vast quantity of coal,
shoveling from the cars and into the
furnaces. Tt means hard times for awhile
at Pittsburg, and the end will be cheaper iron
steel and glass. Labor has to readjust itself
to every discovery and invention, but at last
it is good for all concerned, in that the neces-
saries and Injuries of life are more easily and
more cheaply produced and more people can
afford to have and to spare.

THE GRAND ARMY IN MAINE,

The tendency Of fanatics to take the lead
and so injure the cause they profess to repre-
sent was never more signally illustrated than
by the so-called temperance people of Port
land, in their treatment Of the Grand Army,
now gathering in convention there. The G.
A. r. was invited by the residents of Port
land to accept the Inequalities of that city
Having accepted the invitation, they were
entitled to the courteous and considerate
treatment accorded by all well-bred hosts to
respected and honored guests. Instead of
this they are met with insult from class of
persons claiming to represent the sentiment
of the community, and calling them
assumed in advance by these self-constituted
guardians Of the Grand Army that the ex-
pected visitors contemplate an infraction Of
the law. In order to satisfy their suspicious,
and to secure punishment Of the guilty
veterans, temperance police guard Of 1000
men has been detailed to spy upon them and
report upon their conduct. 1t has even been
proposed to examine the baggage Of the guests
in search of contraband liquors. which, Of
course, if found, would be confscated. 1t
seems to be forgotten by the Portland Prohi-
bitionists that it is not very many years since
the old soldiers who are now assembled there
themselves constituted the greatest law and
order league the world has ever
known, and that since their active
duties ended these men have not been known
as breakers Of other laws. Neither is it I'M
derstood by people in general that they
gather at these reunions to indulge in carous-
ais, and to 'paint the towns in which they
temporarily sojourn. To presuppose that
such is the intention is not only insulting to
the invited guests, but outrages the principles
of hospitality and casts disgrace, not upon the
Grand Army, but upon their entertainers.
1t is probable, of course, that this unpar-
alleled treatment of distinguished associa-
ton is the work of few cranks, the like of
whom are to be found everywhere; but their
ill-judged acts are in the name Of temperance,
and the injury done to a good cause
is incalculable. Comparatively few stop to
discriminate between the different classes Of
Temperance workers, and the prejudice created
by such outbreaks as the one at Portland ex-
tends to all alike. The G. A. r. would do an
inestimable service to the cause of true tenn
perance in Maine by corralling the offenders,
and making target of them.

that time does not seem to have come yet in

Of Judge Norton viii merely hasten
the advent Of the day. Every
new aggression of, or concession to, the law
breaking saloon-keepers only adds volume to
the 'head" of indignation that sooner or later
will teach these defiant gentlemen and their
tools that laws were made to be observed by
all people alike and enforced by the authori-
ties, not to be broken by certain favored
classes and dishonored by courts.

CHICAGO Democrats simulate hysteria over
the fact that the circular calling Democratic
primaries bears the name Of Joseph G. Mackin
as secretary. Just why they should feel
squeamish on this point is not apparent. Mr..
Mackin has been, and is prominent Chicago
Democrat He has not only attended all
elections, but has attended to them, generally
revising results to suit his wishes or needs
He has been indicted for forging ballots and
stuffing boxes, but that is about all. The fact
that he was once convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary need not impair his useful
ness any more than it interferes
with his liberty. A technicality
has temporarily turned him loose, and strategy
will keep him away from Joliet. Cook county
Democrats need Mr.. Mackin more than he
needs Democracy. He has pulled through
some pretty tight places and is just the man
for the occasion. Hare in Indianapolis the
swallow-tails affect to sneer at the Hon.
Simeon Coy, much as the Democrats Of Chi
cago do at Mackin, but all the same Mr.. Coy
carries the Democratic hope right in his
pocket. He is not pretty, and is not educated
in polite literature, but he is 'Hhandy," and
more than that, he is a 'boss, and Democracy
without boss never succeeds.
