swear that it's better than turkey.-Philadelph ia

SEVERAL free-trade leaders came out of the
Randall tariff battle in the House on Tuesday
about as if they had been monkeying with the
business end of a very vigorous wasp -Philadel

his ability, integrity and courage are the chief
hope of Democratic safety in the future. -Pha

THE whole Orleans family is in every way one
which were it not a royal race, Franco could i'll
afford 20 lose. There is no gift or grace which
Frenchmen admire of which they have not
considerable share, and there are probably no
Frenchmen mora French.-New York Evening
Post.
WHILE for moment the policy of tho Sonth-
ern and Western Democracy and the administra
ton lacks definite form aud shape, there can be
no doubt that the various elements are settling
down to attempt in few years to establish a
fiscal system which will be essentially patterned
after that of the British government --Phiadel-
phia Press
By tho passage of this bill France has said:
eve have fears The world at large knows
that it is not the Comte de Paris whom she fears,
but the people themselves. When the republic
becomes to them what it Is to us, the ideal gov

France as it does in America, ten thousand
princes will be poweress to entice them.--New
York Herald.
THE Democrats who have had the good sense
to oppose the crude scheme invented by Mr..
Morrison are not likely to do any considerable
lodging when that gentleman concludes to crack
his freo-trade whip. Whatever control he may
have over individual Congressman, he will dis
cover, whenever he begins to read Democrats
out os the party, that he is very small man,
indeed Atlanta Constitution.
THE United States pretends to own the entire
country, yet does not control Except illesiti-
mately) the Indian Territory. BY sweeping
away all the rubbish of treaty making with
tribes of sayages, and all the jargon about for
eigners, and dealing with the Indians as we deal
with the immigrants, we got back to COM
mon sense and the principles of equity, but in
no other way.-New York Tribune
No civilized community could possibly remain
either community or civilized IL it allowed
rufIlans to band together for the purpose of
bringing to ruin any man against whom they
had taken a spite and to extort money from him
by threats as ransom by means of which he
should be permitted to go on and get his living
until it suited them to quarrel with him and
black mail him again. These are the actions Of
enemies OF the human race.--New York Times
TT will be great benefit to our colleges il tho
present tendency Of so many college graduates to
60 into newspaper work shall lead TO more
thorough study of English and better training
in composition. 1t ought not TO be- possible for

degree Of Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude,
who cannot spell or punctuate, much less con-
struct consistent series of grammatical sent
ences on any given topic.--New York Mail and
Express.
