The RoAD TO RUIS.-The Republican
leaders must be more careful or they
will carry their party over precipice.
They seem just now to be maddened by
desperation and are making their cause
weaker every day. II they go on for
three months more as they have been
going on for the three months last past,
their own constituenoy-the solid bu-i-
ness men of the party, as well as It's rank
and file-will leave them in disgust
The party of great mora and political
IDEAS is in serious danger OF becoming a
party of paltry excuses for its own mac
ton. Il reverses the story which 4tsop
told, in which the ass pu. on the lions
skin-for tie lion Of 1861 is putting on
the ass hide in 1sSS-Herald.

bomely sense OF the crowd, declared that
"the way 20 treat a people honestly,
fairly and wisely is 20 take no more taxes

actually needs for is expenditures, ana
forwi.h proved that the Republicans
can; increase the happines, prosperity or
business of The country, as they say they
can, by collecting a surplus and then
cudgelliug ,heir brains 20 find a way To
spend it.

DANGEROUS JISGo The Philadelphia
Times in commenting on the REJECTING OF
The Fisheries Treaty says
"The rejection OF this treaty By strict
party vote is an exhibition OF the most
dangerous political jingoism u Il, in
fact, the prostitution Of our sac I'd treaty
power 20 sheer jingoism, even in The face
OF possible disturbance Of the peace .ble
relations between this country and Eng
land

World publishes the story to the effect
that McDonOugh obtained patent for

he can be denied the light to demonstrate
that he invented an electric machine for
speech in advance Of all
other inventors The machine ought 10
be able 70 literally speak for Itself
