An impossible Scheme.

It is given out with considerable ap-
pearance Of authority that Lord Salisbury
has proposed an alliance of the Tories with
the Unionists, headed by Lord Harrington,
for the control of the next English Parlla-
ment. Its said that his scheme will in
clude local government bill which Will
put England, Scotland and Ireland on a
like footing, and that it will tend to facili-
tate the requirement Of small land holdings
by agricultural laborers.
Besides the inherent impossbility OF
uniting these radically differing bodies for
any length of time, their proposals would
be treated with derision by those whom
tn " hope to appease. After living in the
clear, bracing air Of Gladst mes PROPOSE
ton for an Irish Parliament which shall be
supreme in local affairs, and which shall
have voice also in the Westminster Par
lament. it would be strange indeed if the
murky atmosphere of the Salisbury plar
would be breathed with satisfaction. The
Irish people would be led to honora
ole defeat by Gladstone, rather than to
barren victory under Salisbury'S leader
ship.

An English Dictio nary that Does Not Have
Peer at the Present Day
The English language is the one which the
practical man of affairs wishes to be most
couversant with. The requirement of Ger
man and French and the other tongues are of
great utility to their pOssessOr but they are
more superfuOus than essential. The man
who has a good knowledge of the English
tongue has the wherewithal for q most pleas
ant literary feast, and he who speaks 1t cor
rectIy is joy to all with whom he comes
into contact While the reading of the best
style are good means of acquiring the cor
rect use OF the language, the sedulOus cultiva-
ton OF the dictionary is the best way OF learn
ing to read and speak the language as it should
be spoken. The greatest scholars are never
without their dictionaries, and the older they
grow the more inseparable 1t becomes as their
literary companion.
OF all the English dictionaries that have
been printed, none combine so many excel.
lences az Webster's Unabridged, with its
thousands OF words, with their definitions
and illustrations. Looking at the hand
some copy laid on our table by the
publishers, G.. & G. Merriam Il Co,
Springfield, Mass, through the courtesy of
VIM. Riddle, their agent in this city, one Is
struck with astonishment at the magnitude Q
of the work and the accuracy exhibited in its
com mpilation. Not only has it an appendix
of useful tables, but also a supplement of
nearly 5000 new words. The new edition
contains new pronouncing gazatteer of the
world, as well as pronOuncing biographical
dictionary. 1t Is an English com pendium
that no one who cares To know the language
as 1t should Pe known can afford TO be with

He Misses the Point.

Who excuses accuses. Lieutenant A.
Wilson Norris has begun to explain his
Gettysburg speech, which has excited 50
much indignation and derision. He and a
few of his associates appeal to Pennsylva-
mia pride by declaring that Gen. Sickles
provoked the attack in claiming too much
glory for himself and his Third corps land
that to let his Boston speech go un-
answered was to strip Reynolds Of his
laurels and put them on the brows Of" the
New York crowd"
Lieutenant Norris seems to entirely
miss the point Of the criticism made upon
his performance. What he said that has
provoked all the row was that Gen. Sickles
received an order which he did not obey !;
and which both Sckles and Howard say
never was received. The obligation rest
ing upon Norris is to prove his assertion +;
not to explain the resentment and provoca-
tion under which he made it. If he can
show that such dispatch was sent:and re-
ceived and disobeyed, then it is in order to
discuss the consequences of it but for the
present Norris must prove his novel state
ment or bear the brand.

THE supply of good caricaturists in this
country is not nearly up to the de-
msnd of the illustrated papers. The only
able caricaturist who is not at work upon
any paper is Matt Morgan, who is drawing
a salary of $4,000 TOR painting war scenes
for panoramic shows. Thomas Mast is tied
up with the Harpers Keppler and Schwarz-
man are partners in Puck Gillian, Zimmer-
man and Hamilton have an interest in the
profits OF The JHdGe, and Baron De Grimm,
who draws the Freuchy cartoons Tor The
Eccning Telegram, gets $4,000 year from
MIR. Bennett for that work. French artists
are said to be extremely quick to catch the
ideas in every field except politics. AS the
political cartoon is the great feature in the
United States, few French artists have been
successful in their ventures here.

DEMOCRATIC GROWERS about the tardiness

own party to office will do we'll to remember

the remaining l,5O6 are expiring at the rate OF

IS his recent speech in the House. Repre-
ser tstiye Springer utterly demolished the
Republican claim of Democratic hostility 10
just claims of soldiers for pensions. He
showed that, notwithstanding Cleveland's
vetoes Of unworthy bills, Democratic Con-
crosses had done far the most Tor these
private claimants For example, during
the entire eight years Of General Grants ad-
ministration only 5i2 private pensions were
granted. During the. I Forty seventh Congress,
Republican In both branches, only ISL private
pension bills were passed. But during the
Forty eighth Congress, which contained a
unsj jority OF Democrats In the House. 552 of
such bills passed and became laws; and dur
Ing this Congress- since December last, Con-
gress passed G65 private pension bills, of
which about 575 had either been signed by
President Cleveland or had become laws
without his action. lie had vetoed only
about ninety private pension bills. Thirty
three more such bills had become laws dur
ing his administration up to this time than
were passed during the entire eight years of
General Grants administration.
The present Democratic commissioner Of
pensions, Gen. Black, has issued over | 10 900
certificates to pensioners since he assum cd
the duties OF his office, ten per cent more
than ever Issued by any OF his predecessors
during the same length of time. The treas
ury Of the United States attests the effect Of
General Blacks increased efficiency in the
administration of the pension Office The
payments to pensioners during the fiscal
year just ended exceeded those of the pre-
vious fiscal year by IS, 900, 600. But notwith-
standing this increase in pension payments
there had been net reduction Of expendi-
lures during the past fiscal year of over
ZIG 100000, as compared with the fiscal year
OF 1885,
Convincing evidence has been adduced to
show how the pension bureau was worked
In campaigns for Republican advantage.
During the last presidential year the mum.
ber OF claims OF applicants for pensions con.
sidered by the examining surgeons in GER
tain states WAS very significant. In Maine, a
contested state, there were 779 cases consid-
cred In each congressional district. in
Massachusetts,, reliably Republican, where
no special political efforts were required, the
number 30 considered was only 29l in each
district. In Pennsylvania, considered re.
liably Republican, there were only 332 con-
sidered In each district but In Ohio W here
there was great contest, the number was COS
In each district In Indiana the number con
sidered was s2l In each district, while In
Illinois, Republican state, the number SO
considered was only AGO in each district
wherever there were great political contests
IN 1854, the business OF the pension office was
concentrated, to the neglect of worthy appli-
eants who happened to live In states reliably v
"epuohcan or hopelessly Democratic.

They are HypOcrites.

The Republican editors Of Ohio resemble
the rascal who, making off with stolen
goods, shouts "stop thief" loudly, In the
hope Of Withdrawing attention from him
self and escaping in the ensuing hullabal-
loo. They have been having meeting to
protest loudly against the action OF the
United States Senate in refusing to proceed
with an investigation of the Payne senato-
rial election, which even under partisan
legislature was futile. There was suHpi-
cion that the Democratic caucus was con-
trolled corruptly for Mr.. Payne. There
never was the slightest evidence adduced
that the votes of the members directly for
senator were 30 Influenced and as the
Republican House committee in Ohio had
not been able to discover any such thing,
the Senate decided that it had nothing be-
fore it to Justify action. The real reason
for the Ohio editorial disturbance is not any
sense of outrage at this disposition of the
case, but a desire to divert attention from
the rascalities of the last legislature out
there. The action of a State Senate mi
nority swearing in members and do
ing business, and Of packed par
tisan supreme court justifying them,
--is-- cwithout precedent for unblush-
-..g roguery in any state of this Union ex.
cept under some Of the carpet-bag govern
ments of the South. 1t is an indelible dis
grace to our institutions, second only to the
electoral commission, which was planned,
plotted and executed for and by Ohio men.
One of the Ohio Republican congress.
men, Grosvenor, has been making speech,
too, up at Henry G. Bowen's Fourth OF
July celebration, in Woodstock, Conn.
which he devoted to the subject Of the
ballot and its abuses. He promulgated
little that was new, relating the old story
of suppressed " votes in the South, baset
entirely on the fact that in many district
in the South no opposition candidate is rul
against the majority nominee. The result
ing figures prove only this; and not tha
any votes are suppressed. AL of Gros
venor's differences on that assumption ar
false and fallacious and his addres
unworthy of the man and the occasion.
He went on to relate from Greeley
g Life of Henry Clay and other WIFI
authorities facts to show that Clay was no
fairly defeated by Polk and wept crocodile
tears over the wide spread pollution of tn
ballot but he had not the courage and the
manliness to say that all other frauds upor
the ballot and corruption Of the franchise
in this country paled before the stupendoul
frauds and infamies of ls76-77, which made
Hayes president and that no more paten
fact ever existed in American politics thai
that Garfield's election in November, 1880
depended upon the purchase of votes in In
diana in October of the same year.
OF course, these facts are ignored by tn
indignant purists Of Ohio Republicanism
Their guilty souls shrink from the contem
plation of their own wrongs. They can SCI
mote in Mississippi and swallow came
in New York but the beam in their OWL
eye is invisible they strain at the gnat
They are hypocrites and pretenders.
