The Samoan Treaty.

The Samoan treaty is being gravejy
and pompously criticised and praised by
journals all over the land, and its weak
nesses appear TO be quite sufficient to
justify its rejection, but 1t is doubtful
whether even u Democratic Congress
would reject and reasonably certain,that
1t will be approved with little delay.
The country is about tired of the

Seeking Circulation.

& The Philadelphia newspapers are
eoEely troubled with desire to get into
ths one-cent list, and there are not many
now left that are out Of II. They seek
circulation, aud think to find II In
cheapening their price. There have been
oone notable disappointment in this
regard, and there will be more. There
~ . natural limit to circulation In popu.
lation, and 1t is evident that there can
be an overstock of cheap newspapers In
every place and 1t ought further to be
easily understood that cheapness is not
always an essential aid to quality In In
creastng sales. The patent medicine
man, for instance, goes off on an entirely
different line, and sells very dear goods,
relying for his sales upon his skill in
persuading the folks that he has some.
thing they cannot do without and the
!, big profit he gets from his sales leaves
/ him large fund to spend in such per.
suasion.
The newspaper that undertakes to
blend both schemes of sale and to sell
cheap what II claims to be the best goods
y haa . hard row to hoe. Generally a
poor price indicates poor quality. II

The PhiladeiphIa Ticket.

Our Democratic friends In Philadel.
phia seem 10 be finding IL very hard TO
reach an agreement as to how they may
best elect their magistrates and their
tax receiver. If they eau agree upon
seven magistrates they can all be elected.
If they cannot, and fourteen candidates
run, only seven Of whom can he elected
by the minority party, the general
ticket will be sure to be sacri-
feed In the scramble. The deduction
IL that seven magistrates and tax re.
ceiver should be run, or fourteen magis-
tra'es and no tax receiver. II would he
folly to put up a general ticket In the
city that will be hacked in the magis-
trate trades. To the party generally 1t
In not matter of consequence what
magistrates are chosen. They are not
likely to be Solomons anyway. But
It Is Of consequence that full Demo-
cratic vote be polled In the city.
and that the party be demonstrated to
be ia good feather there and reasonably
free from the clashing interests that
demoralize party strength. A great
deal is never expected from the
Philadelphia Democracy, which is
habitually abused to serve selfish aims,
and which lies as heavy stone always
upon the efforts for Democratic success
In the state. A little will satisfy us we
only ask that If they cannot agree upon
their magistrates they will refrain from
| setting up a tax receiver TO knock him
