the unwritten law which exists In every

OF ALL absurd things of the most alb

the republican officials Of the Brooklyn
navy yard for the incendiary or care
less expensive fire that occurred there
last Saturday THAT rigid economy in

navy yards reduced the number OF
watchmen." And this, too, though
republicans accuse the democrats in the
present Congress Off king even larger
appropriations than those made by the
preceding "million dollar Congress
1t is by no means unlikely that the
cause of the fire was the necessity for
the expenditure OF million dollars in

THE STATEMENT in the GAzETTE's
Washington correspondence Of Satnr-
day last. to the effect that Mr.. cleve-
land has given assurance that if elected
he will be a democrat and not a mug
wump, and will hereafter invariably
stand by his party, is as gratifying to
the democrats OF Virginia as it must be
to those of his own State. Doubtin this
matter -oduced the impression that
Mr.. Cleveland was not the most avail
able man that could have been nomi-
mated, but tige assurance referred to
should certainly b sufficient to remove
that doubt at once and entirely, and &c
stimulate all democrats to more strenn
Gus efforts to repeal the pillagins tariff
and avoid the dire effects Of the Force
bill.
