A Vast Difference.

There is a striking difference between
the apathy shown at the republican
primaries and convention and those of
the democratic. At the former candidates
would decline as fast as nominated, and
the only method by which ticket could
be nearly completed was to select gentle,
men who were not present, and therefore
could not decline at the time. Since the
republican convention the faithful have
been diligently at work making nomina-
tons, and still there are vacancies. They
are now endeavoring to fasten the asses>
sorship on the good Levi Harson. Alter
canvassing the Fourth ward for a candi-
date for alderman they selected gentle
man who is in Connecticut on business.
and who, if at home, would probably
vote Tor W H Lundy They have nom
mated democrat in the Third ward
Surely the 6. o. p. is in a bad way in
Rock Island
The democrats are afflicted in an oppo-
site direction. The party is prolific with
candidates. 1t is the general impression
that the democrats are going to sweep the
field and consequently there is no hest
fancy about accepting nomination. A
few years ago the democrats were in the
same dilemma in which the republican:
now find themselves. Destinations wert
in order, and the different committees dit
the filling in. The present condition o.
affairs argues well for the democracy.
Their star is in the ascendant, and with &
united effort victory is assured TIT

A Valuabis Wcrk.

A valuable work for which the city is
now being canvassed, is entitled 1.-The
Science of National Life, book of $50
pages on political economy, by Scott F g.
Hershey, Pm. D.. of Lancaster. Ohio
The name of the eminent. author is suf-
ficient guarantee for the worth of the
work. 1t treats on the subject of politi.
cal economy thoroughly and literally, the
outline giving the views of the eminent
scholars OF the day, who have been stu
dents of the subject first. and his own
ideas afterward. 1t not only begins at
the foundation of the science, social or
der, but it traces individual and social
rights through all the qualifications of
our wonderful development. People in.
terested in the labor problem, in cooper
alton as relief from the wage system,
its abuses and its strikes, in banking, in
money, in taxation, in trade, will find
very clear discussions and expositions in
its successive chapters.

The Democratic Kilkenny

The fight between the two Demo-
cratic political factions in DelawGte Is
b scoming very bitter. The lives are
more closely drawn In fact than be-
tween the Democratic and Republican
parties. Each faction % far is deter
mined on Its own candidates for Cover
nor, but who the gdbernatorial light
ming will strike has not yet been clear
ly outlined. Che Bayard-Gray COM
bination present the names OF DR..
Black, o. New Castle, and Z. r.
Cochran, Of Middletown, present clerk
Of the peace, as their candidates, with a
strong growing sentiment in favor oil
the latter. The Saulsbury-Lore COM
bination present the name Of ex Con.
gresham Benjamin T. Biggs, and &c
far he alone. But between them is a
bold cavalry skirmisher, William
Herbert, fighting his own battles, sub
servient to no ring, faction nor clique.
From this list it is expected that a
candidate for Governor shall be chosen,
and under ordinary circumstances the
nomination OF either would be equiva-
lent to an election, but 80 bitter have
the hostile factions become thai the
long looked for falling to pieces OF the
Democratic party may actually take
place. The old time enemy, the Re-
publican party, having been legislated
almost out Of existence by laws passed
by Democrats, will not stand in the
way of its success, and without re-
cognized foe to fight 1t may find al
enemy in Its own ranks, and turn upon
itself as it did at IFS own nomination in
this city less than two weeks ago
Will the Saulsbury-Lore men vote 70
Il. r. Cochran II he Is nominated, o.
will the Bayard-Gray men vote fol
Mr.. Bggs IL he is nominated? This
the question that is disturbing Demo
cratic circles. Republicans would d.
well to let the factions fight it gu
amongst themselves and instead o
mixing in, stand off and enjoy the Kill
kenny operation OF seeing the part,
swallow itself up.

Aga,ps, Tariff and soldiers.

The real purposes OF the free traders
are becoming gradually disclosed, and
nothing Is tearing away the mask that
they may be seen in their true light
more completely than the tariff discus
sions that are taking place In Congress
The debate on Tuesday more clearly set
forth those purposes. MAddened by
the defeat Of the Morrison free-trade
measure, the eighty.two solid free-trade
members from the South, backed by
some sixty misrepresentati OF North
ern constituencies, made violent at
tack upon the soldiers who put down
the rebellion. As Morrison and his
free trade followers could not cut down
the tariff duties and thereby bring gen.
eral rain upon the industrial interests
of the nation, they were determined
that the pensioners Of the government
should be made to suffer, by the passage
of q law providing that when pensions
were increased Congress should provide
q special fund from increased taxation
to pay them. This would inevitably
lead to direct income tax, as all other
resources OF the government would be
withheld from that purpose.
What the people should lose no time
In noticing Is the fact that the great ma
jority OF these free-traders in Congress
are the determined enemies OF the sol
.diers. They are as emphatic in their
opposition to the soldier element as
they are to the protection Of the indus
trial interests OF the country, and II
they could have their way the soldier
and the tariff would both soon have to
20. The treatment that Union veter-
ans are receiving at the hands OF the
present administration Is but the
stronger proof OF Its hostility. Earnest
protests have been made against the dis
missal OF wounded and crippled soldiers
from the government service, but these
removals still go on with unremittine
fury and virulence. Letters OF remon,
STRANGE have been sent to the President
from prominent members Of the Grand
Army of the Republic, but they have
ELECTED no response, and the other Off
GERS Of the government seem to under
stand that they are to meet all spplica-
lions for information on the subject
with the same contemptuous silence.
The consequence is that unions have
been formed to look after the rights oil
ex-soldiers all over the country, and the
matter will be brought to the attention
OF the Grand Army at its approaching
encampment at San Francisco.

leave the city for few weeks 70 leave
their names OF police headquArters,
that he may be able to give their property
police surveillance and protection while

better policy for our citizens leaving

request than to slip away thinking that
nobody but few friends would know
OF their absence. At this season OF the
year the thieves are usually on the
alert watching who are going away to
summer, and to see In what condition
they leave their premises. None know
the thieves better than the polics, and
the latter should be put in possession
OF all information of suspicious persons
aud be made confidential protectors.
