Marriage nv Examination

The Emperor OF China, who is bachelor,
viewing with illdisguised jealousy the
press attentions that are being lavished on
President Cleveland on account Of his con-
templated wedding, proposes to get mar
ried himself. But the hand Of the De-
scendant Of the Sun is open to competition.
He gives the girls o chance. Manageable
young ladies from all parts Of the celestial
kingdom are invited to Pekin, though re-
porters will not be invited to peek In and
see them. His Majesty will visit them and
select bride at his leisure. Chinese girls
are all in flutter, and dressmakers and
milincrs are working night aud day to get
them In shape. Yet 1t is melancholy to
think of the multitude Of rejected ones who
must return home disappointed. 1t is too
late for such move now, but 1t would
have added greatly to the interest OF Pres
idential wedding could the hand OF Presi-
dent Cleveland have been opened to com

pENNY-wIsE LEGISLATION.

The addition of 300 men to the po-
lice force of the city of New York and
the equipment of all the precincts with
patrol wagons, are equivalent in the
Grdphic's opinion to doubling the eff
cheney of the department. The citi-
zens of the great metropolis and of
the State at large are thoroughly alive
to the needs of the situation, and they
have legislature equal to the occa-
sion and responsive to the demands of
the people.
Why Is 1t that with q necessity here
In the District Of Columbia for an in.
creased police force, proportionately
greater than that of New York, the
best that can be done is to get five or
ten more men on? Why should Con-
gress halt and higgle over matter
that virtually concerns not only the
interests Of resident property-holders,
but of the Government itself In this
great and growing capital
II is about time that our w-makers

that this is something more than pro-
vincial village, to be dealt with on Or

MORE MONEY THAN USES FOR IT.

The National Party of Iowa some
days ago transmitted n marriage greet
ing to the President, suggesting that he
commemorate the auspicious event
which was solcmnized on the evening
Of June by ordering hundred mil
lion dollar bond call 1t is to be pre-
sumed TINT he was too much engaged
with other pressing calls about that
time to attend to this modest request,
and judging by the fact that he has
given no order to set the hundred mil.
lions loose, he is probably too busy
STILL
But how much better off would the
country be If he should conclude to
issue the order?
What probability Is there that If a
hundred million dollars were paid out
of the Treasury of the United States to
the holders of bonds 1t would find such
avenues Of circulation as to be of any
substantial benefit to the people2 1t
would amount to little more practically
than taking 1t out of one hand and
putting 1t into another. The available
capital of the country is already more
than sufficient to make times easy, If
there were safe opportunities enough for
its investment. There would have been
two or three million dollars spent right
here in Washington during the present
year, if the men who had the money
hadn't been ordered Off by the eight
hour law. How would calling in bonds
mend the matter here or elsewhere, so
long as every man who has spare dol
lar keeps it locked up in vault and
chained down to the floor?
There is no reason to believe that
anybody who has his hundreds, or
thousands, or tens of thousands, in
vested in Government securities and is
contented to let It stay there so long as
1t draws interest, will scatter his money
about promiscuously when his bonds
are taken up. The first thing he would
do would be to put 1t in the next best
security, or deposit 1t in his bank.
Money is bound to be boarded until /,
finds some way of multiplying itself
The National party of Iowa is silent OF
this point.
The scarcity Of money is not what ails
the country so much as 1t is a scarcity
of safe and profitable uses for money.

AN APPEAL TO THE poLLs.

AS THE CRITIC predicted, Queen
Victoria has allowed policy, not politi-
cal predictions, to govern her in de-
Gliding whether there shall be disso-
luton of Parliament or the formation
of new government under conserva-
tive auspices. Mr.. Gladstone has re-
ceived dispatch from Her Majesty an
nouncing her consent to dissolution.
The electors of Great Britain want
the question of Home Rule settled by n
direct appeal to the polls, and the
chances are that they will settle it in
favor Of Ireland. 1t is not so very
long ago that Her Majesty could afford
to ignore. to great extent, the voters
among her subjects, but there were
not so many voters then as now. Under
the various Reform bills which Mr..
Gladstone has put through Parliament,
the number of men in Great Britain
who are entitled to the ballot has be-
come so large that not even the Queen
of England and Empress of India can
duOIu W tTCut luClu Win COutuulcly
They haye, in fact, become the domi.
nant class in the country, and are
rapidly learning how to WELD the great
power which they have, And the
facts that Mr. Gladstone gave them
that power and that he favors Home
Rule for Ireland will have marked
effect upon the election of the next
House Of Commons.
The election will not take place until
next autumn, and it will be preceded
by a campaign the like of which Eng
land has never yet seen. 1t is, of
course, impossible to say when Parlia-
ment will be dissolved, but it will be
at an early date. The only important
business now before 1t is the passage
of the annual supply bills. When they
have been put through there will be
dissolution.
By-the-way, the supply bills OF
England correspond to our appropria
tion bills. Why cannot our Congress
pass those bills and likewise dissolvei

wealth of the two cities is hardly fair
one Ii may be that on certain first class
risks the London underwriters take
nearer the full value of the property
insured; and again, 1t may be that
more Bostonians insure themselves.
The difference can probably be ac-
counted for by the difference in the
efficiency of the fire departments of the
two cities. The average annual fire
loss in London is greater than that of
Boston, and were IL not for atmospheric
condition would be still greater. Bos.

SEVERAL leading newspapers having
very favorably mentioned Mr.. George
w. Childs of Philadelphia as Presi-
Dental candidate, he comes to the front
and declines the honor in these words:
"This manifestation of your goodwill
and great favor is very welcome to me,
but you propose to do what should not
be done, and what cannot, under any
possible circumstances, agree that you
shall do" This is the kind of talk the
American people like. If Mr.. G.
had smiled and said, If il were the peo-
pies desire he would make the sacri-
fee, and so forth, they would have
kicked at once, but when man alb
solutely declines to do what they think
he ought to do, then they rise in their
might and show him that this is a Gov.
ernment by the people, for the people,
and they will brook no one man power.
If Mr.. Childs doesn't want to be Presi-
dent he had better flee to Canada be-
tween two days.

History repeats itself. In Belfast,
Ireland. yesterday, the scenes of the
Lord George Gordon riots in London
many years ago were repeated al
most in fac -simile. In the Gordon
riots the people went wild first by the
potential magnitude of numbers, and
were then made frantic by rum. They
rioted, looted and killed and cried
"No Popery," without knowing really
what they meant. In Belfast during
the last twenty-four hours the people
have done the selfsamc thing. Their
cry was "To HI with the Pope" In
the London riots the violence was at
first directed against Catholics only,
but the mob becoming more and more
reckless, as mobs always do, committed
indiscriminate assaults without regard
to sect or sex. In Belfast the out
breaks were similarly demoniac, and
forcibly remind the reader of the Lon
don pandemonium so vividly described
by Dickens in the pages of "Barnaby
Rudge."

One is the appropriateness and modesty

The other is the printed notice on the
