RATS AND IFS FORCE.

RATS" Is vulgarism expressive of
contempt for any improbable or exag-
geratei statement. 1t Is used by the
French in the expression "avolr des
rats" IN the senss of whimsical or
cranky, aud ia the same sense often
used IN depreciation OF measures of
doubtful expediency. just now properly
applicable To much OF the correspond
ence published relating to our Gillian
difficulty and not inapplicahle TO the
statements made regarding the unusual
activity at cur navy yards. An invol-
nniary exclamation INDUCED ia by
most readers on peruslng accounts OF
Secretary Blaine's health aud the
much-wrItten-about rupture between
nm and President Harrison. A most
natural utterance arising to the lips of
creduious people a. they listen to the
contemplated economies OF q party
whose itching palm has grown pain
full with the enforced and almost con-
tinuous hungering Of thirty-two y ars.
The common expression OF all who
read the graphic accounts portraying
the imagined magnitude of the Cara
rebellion. The most unusual greeting
accorded the benevolent scheme of the
picturesque senator from Kansas on
behalf of the Indiana farmers. The
cheerful salutatlon of the newsbovs as
they cry the latest advertising fake of
an opera company. purporting to ex-
pose the amours of q pretty little SOU
hrette. The mischievous propensit,es
of the familiar rodent may be over
come with dose Of trough on rats"
but the mischief wrought by the notions
and schemes of men and parties acct
dentally raised to power, may be only
partially averted by the recurring
though rasping cry of "rats."

10 may be accepted as settled fact

IL has no justification in principle;
no precedent in the history of
