TIE NEW YORK Ford, a pronounced
anti-snapper, says "the Mckinley bill is
still on the statute book, and is sure to
be there for nearly a year to come"
Unfortunately for the country, as well
as for the democratic party, the Wor'ds
quoted remark is true, though the dem
ocratic majority in Congress and the
democratic President were elected
upon the promise of the immediate re-
peal of the bill referred to. Nearly q
wear from this time will be upon the
eve Of the next congressional election,
and therefore entirely too late for the
operation of the repeal, if effected, TO
be tested, before the people will be
called upon to elect members of the
next Congress. This indisputable fact
naturally suggests the enquiry, whether
or not the voters will be disposed to
entrust their affairs again to the same
party that has failed to redeem its SOL
emn promise.

IT NOW appears that the cholera at
New York and the yellow fever at
Brunswick, that were caught and
stamped out" by the quarantine Off
GERS at those ports, after they had elud-
ed them and effected an entrance from
foreign infected ports, were snides, the
former being nothing else than cholera
morbus and the latter, bilious fever.
But the quarantine service is expensive,
aud there must be something to warrant
its maintenance. And so it goes, for if
this humbug were abolished, some other
would take its place, as humbugs will
never cease so long as people like to be
humbugged.

soon as possible.
REPUBLICAN, newspaper say

A REPUBLICAN newspaper says
"many of the mills are at work again
and the outlook grows brighter every
day." And yet the same paper says
the existing business depression was
caused by the fear that a low, would be
substituted for high tariff, though
the desired substitution seems to be no
nearer now than it was when the de-
preston commenced. But neither rea-
son nor logic has any thing to do with
either the words or acts of republican
politicians.

Ex-PREsIDENT HAYES bewailed the
fate of the "poor negroes" the day after
his defeat, and before he was informed
by Senator Chandler that he would be
counted in, and now ex-President Har-
rison deplores the denial of pensions to
those "who fought against treason and
rebellion" though he knows that now
nearly twenty-nine years after the close
of the war, there are four hundred
thousand more pensioners than there
were soldiers in the whole Confederate
army during the entire four years of
that war. Of the two, the former was
the better citizen, and infinitely the
better man.
