AN exchange says there is less bit
terness and acri mony in the present
cam paign than there has been fol
twenty. five years. The reason is thai
there is real question upon which the
people can divide without calling each
other traitors, scoundrels and horse
thieves.
That question concerns the reduc'
ton of unnecessary taxation. and what
method will benefit the greatest mum.
ber of people.
What party presented that question
to the Intelligent consideration OF the
voters? The Democratic party /; and
the Republican organization has be-
come party of obstruction and mega
ton. 1t admits the burning import.
ance of revenue reform, but formulates
no practical method of bringing it
about. 1t merely negatives and runs
counter ito the well-considersd and
well. matured Democratic plan. Its
platform declares for free whisky and
free tobacco, sooner than reduce the
tariff on the necessaries of life.
There is only one side of the argu.
ment in this campaign, and that is the
Democratic side.
There will be only one side to the
result, and that will be the Democratic
side. .-s5
And the country will go on prosper,

the General deficiency bill, which has |
at last become a law, stated a rock

people had turned the republican party

travagance in appropriations, but be-
cause of the waste and want of integri-
ty in the expenditure of the money.

look like the republicans really want
to pass the tariff bill which they have

Senator Coke, in opposing the bill
just passed by the Senate, to pay the
widow of Chief, Justice Waite IS, 745.
said that he believed in equality befol g
the law of all the people of the United
States; that one good respectable wild
ow was exactly the ss me before the
law as another. There were hundreds
of thousands of good widows in the
United States, who were a. much en-
titled, in law, in equity and of right,
to q donation from Congress as the es.
-timable lady for whose relief the bill
was pending. Senator Berry in op
posing the bill, argued that every dol
lar due to the late Chief Justice had
been paid to himself or to his widow,
and that the sum proposed to be paid
was simply donation or gift. If the
Chief Justice had not been able to save
money out of his salary of $l6, 500 q
year. he must have lived in q very ex.
trayagant way.

Prince Bismarck utteTanccs are moro
pacific than his acts. In his speech in the
Ecicbstag he frankly admits that there has
been a marked improvement in Germany re-
ltions with france since the downfall Of Gen
cral Boulangcr and the election OF President
Cannot: and almost as unrcscVcdiy he dc-
clares that no attack is 10 be apprchCndcd
from Russia. These emphatic assurances
would completely diSpcl the feeling OF ncaSl-
ness prevailing in Europe if his pacific speech
had not been preceded by two Omlnous acts :
the enormous increase Of the army reserves
and the publication OF the terms Of the secret
treaty with Austria If the conditions are so
favorable for the maintenance Of peace, why
has Prince Bismarck considered it necessary
ia add 700 900 men to the effective army, and
to reveal the precise language OF the compact
with Austria? The Chancellor fails TO explain
these mysteries OF his satcuart. These
ominous acts apparently foIcshadow the APP
nroacb Of war: yet he nonchalantly informs
E,ono that the skies have cleared and that
ncaco will undoubtedly be maintained.
The sncccb Of the German Chancellor while
it does not furnish adequate explanations Of
his recent proceedings, is in accord with the
general tone Of the European press. Inc
text Of the coalition treaty has served the use
ful purpose of convincing Frenchmen that an
offensive and defensive alliance has not been
formed against the Republic. If Russia has
been warned and dcGed the Car knew be-
forchand the precise nature OF the alliance and
will be enabled TO keep the ardor of the war
party in his capital under closer restraint.
The st. Petersburg journals have been most

course. They have discernod the formidable

The European situation now Turns upon the
secret purposes Of Russia. Extensive military
preparations have been made presumably with
a view to forcing Austria TO come to an under
standing respecting the partition Of the Balkan
countries. Prince Bismarck has countcrctcd
these demonstrations and warned Russia that
Austria was not to be either inundated or
cocrccd. What will the Car do next? VIII

TBE CAUSE or RIOTS.

The riotous strikers at Shenandoah, it may
be as well to notice. are not Americans. With
scarcely an exception, according to all ac1
counts. they are Poles or Hungarans, who
have not been in this country long enough to
comprehend American freedom, or their OBJ
legations as citizens. They have been earning
large wages at times, and at other times small
wages. according as the mines were fully or
not fully at work. Like a great many other
men in every occupation, they do not possess
the intelligence and the disciplined thrift and
sclf-restraint TO moderate their expenditures
at times when they are getting large wages,
so as to save something against times Of need.
In consequence, when the time Of slack work
comes. such men always conclude that their
wages are not high enough, forgetting that
larger wages per ton Of coal taken out would
almost Of necessity involve still less steady
work Then they listen to labor dcmagogucs,
rs ignorant persons are apt TO do, and allow
these dcmagoeues to live On their earnings.
Next come strikes, of course, and after them,
also Of course rioling and bloodshcd.
Neither a higher tariff nor a lower tariff,
nor no tariff at all, would afford any remedy
for this state Of things. Free trade would only
supply from Nova Scotia mines part Of the
coal now taken from the mines Of Pennsyl-
rania. That would still further limit the
market for a product which, it now appears,
about half of the mines alone can abundantly
supnly That would mean, not higher wages
mr. larccr actual earnings for miners but
smaller. II would mean bankruptcy for some
transporting companies that were able last fall
to boom" their stocks with accounts OF vastly
improved earnings. II would mean, in short
less work and less profits for Americans and
more work and more profits for foreigners.
