There is disposition in some quarters
to make soape-goat Of Minister Egan
because Of the defeat of the Balmaceda
party in Chill, just as though that official
had anything to do with bringing about
the result. 1t seems that it might be
Just as well to wait until some more seri-
Gus charge than failure to guess the
ending Of the Gillian civil war shall be
brought against Minister Egan before
his recall is demanded. This specially
commended to that class Of Republican
editors which occasionally gets "rattled"
over some silly and absurd Democratic
charge against Republican official. If
Mr.. Egan or any other official no matter
what his politics may be, shall at any
time be found guilty of neglect or inefh-
cheney he should be instantly dismissed,
but fair-minded jurors do not convict
without proof Of neglect.

Just about the time that Mr.. Mills was
delivering his first calamity wall in
Ohio, in which he enlarged upon the
miserable condition of the farmers and
the discomfort of the laboring masses be-
cause Of lack of employment, the shippers
in New York were exerting every ingeuu-
ity to find laborers enough to load the
grain raised by American farmers on
steamships bound for Europe, work
which is now going on night and day.
And in that same speech Mr.. Mills told
the citizens Of Ohio that it would be i'm
possible for US to sell our surplus grain
product to Europe unless we took the
manufactured products of Europe in ex-
change for it. Either he is losing his
mind or he is taking the Ohio people for
idiots. We are now shipping grain as
fast as it can be done to Europe, and we
are receiving gold for it. When man
makes such deliberate mis-statements
how can anyone place any confidence in
anything he may say.

The time has again rolled around when
the country is assured that Tammany's
hold on New York City is about to be
loosened, but after the fall election it
will probably be found as usual that
Tammany has not been scorched even in
the slightest manner. Few people will
deny that the machine rule Of Tammany
Hall Is Injurious to the best interests of
New York CITY, but it will certainly be
continued as long as majority Of the
votes, whether representing the best or
the worst element, are cast in favor OF
Tammany candidates. That majority
Of the voters Of New York City are
either vicious or corrupt does not alter
the result.

1t is to be regretted that the opening

Democratic orators cannot, or rather
dare not, deliver the same silver speech
in New York and Ohio. Democracy
never represents the same principles

elastic that they can be stretched to suit

considerable body Of voters of any sec.
ton.

Never during its entire history has
there been such an increase in the effici-
ency in the postal service as during the
past twelve months, but it is to be made
still better in the future. Republican
ideas Of administration are to keep up a
perpetusl striving towards perfection,
and the result, as shown by the official
records, is q constant improvement in
every branch Of the Government as long
as it is controlled by Republicans.
