The Tribune says: ''Mr. Morrison has
wanted an issue ON which to go to the
people. Undeniabiy he has made one.
The republican party will welcome it.
He has placed the democratic party before
the country, without disguise or conceal
ment at last, as the party of reputation
and debased money. The record will not
help Mr.. Morrison's party in any portion
of the country. though he imagines that
in the West and South the repudiating
tendencies are still strong. His mistake
is that the regulators are nearly all in
his own party. but with them are many
sober citizens, men engaged in active
business or productive industry. who
know what disasters the collapse Of the
public credit would involve. The folly
OF these citizens in so long supporting a
party OF regulators they must answer
for, but they can no longer plead hope
that the party may be sobered and civil

Good Temperance Work.

Congressman Dingley has proved his
faithfulness to the temperance cause by
his action in preventing the send
ing of liquor through the mail in this
State under the recent regulation OF Post
master General Villas. 1t is remarkable
that the regulation which will allow
liquor to pass through the mail is the
work of democratic administration, and
that it is issued at time when third par
ty prohibtionists are in league with
democrats to strengthen the latter through
out the northern States. The act Of Mr..
Dingley comes very opportunity to show
in what party true temperance men are
TO be found, and to warn the friends OF
the temperance cause to beware how they
enter into compacts, leagues or political
arrangements which will strengthen or
profit its enemies. A special from Wash
ington says:
1t was suggested at the time that the
Postmaster General issued the new regula-
tons to authorize the sending of liquids
through the mails that liquor dealers would
be likely to take advantage of this to sell
liquor to the prohbitory States under the pro-
tectisn OF the Uuted States mails. The sug-
gestion was well founded. 1t appears that a
few weeks ago, when the effort to secure the
order which has just been promulgated was
renewed, the liquor dealers, thinking that the
movement night prove successful, at once
began to make their preparations to evade the
liquor laws in the prohbitory States through
the United States mails. All sorts of ingeni-
Gus devices are said to have been made to
successfully accomplish this. But it also APP
pears that the honest advocates of prohibition
in some of those States were not less watch
full. Gov. Dingley of Maine, for instance.
having had his attention called to this at once
notified the Pos master General of the con-
templated abuse of this new liquid rule and
asked him to modify it so as to exclude in
toxcatiug liquors from the mails as well as
other articles prohibited or sold only under
State restrictions. Mr.. Villas was much sur
prised that any such Interpretation could have
been formed by the liquor dealers add he re-
ceived the suggestion of Gov. Dingley with
favor. He said that he would at once amend
the regulations so as to prevent such an abuse
as was suggested by Gov. Dingley. 1t is pro-
babe that the amendment which will be made
to the regulations will prevent the use of the
mails to evade and defy the State laws in pro-
hibtion States.

Two Pension Cases.

Representative Haynes of New Hampshire,
who is member of the Committee on Pen
sions, has presented the facts in two pension
bills which are worth repeating. Mrs. Brad
ley, aged 20, is the widow of a soldier who
was dangerously wounded, but recovering
when he died. The woman's husband and
four sons enlisted at the outbreak of the war.
Two of the sons were killed, another lost an
arm and the fourth an eve in the service.
Being without the means of support and in
destitute condition, she applied for pension,
but her application was refused by the Pen
sion Bureau because it was not shown that
her husband died in consequence of the
wounds for which he received a pension.
This decision was in accordance with the law
which the bureau must regard. She then ap.
piled to Congress, which has equity powers,
and that body passed a bill giving her IS per
month, which would have kept the aged
woman from being Obliged to call for public
charity. This bill the President vetoed. with

Pillsbury still holding the Office and drawing

ton? His nomination to the position was re-
jected by the Senate some time ago on the
ground that his connection with the Garcelon
count-out in Maine in 1879 showed him to be
an unfit man to hold a federal office. Does
Mr.. Pillsbury's retention indicate that the
President believes in stealing a state govern
ment? When the appointment was made
the Mugwumps claimed that MIR. Cleveland
has been deceived. and that he would be
glad of an opportunity to correct his mis-
take. But he refused to withdraw the noH-

The Philadelphia Press says: The tin
shipments from Dakota. which we record
elsewhere. is in many respects the most
important piece of news in the large sense
printed anywhere this week. For 5000
years the world has been practically de-
pendent on two tin deposits for nearly all
its supply, and the sudden rise in tin dur
ing the last eighteen months from Els a
ton, January l, 1885. to 500 last June has
been widely attributed to the gradual
failure of the only two sources of supply
to keep pace with the growing demand oil
modern civilization, for whose manifold
uses tin is necessity. In this light. a
supply of tin in this country is of tenfold
more Importance than the discovery of a
gold mine.
