ventional spectacles for thorough diagnosis,
that the new conner may be carefully and
| properly classified and christened. After the
new disease has done its work, it has made q
character for itself and has classified itself.
There is disease called revolution that is al
ways liable to break out on any other body
polite, and, indeed, is looked for and prophe-
sled, but never is expected to attack our own.
Revolutions, like the smallpox, when 1t fails
to kill the patient. for n time at least drives
out all other forms Of disease. 1t would be q
new and characteristic treatment OF this dis
ease, when it was known that the premoni-
tory fever was raging in the veins of the pa
tient, to await the appearance OF the first
pustule of the general eruption, and draw a
line about it with caustic pencil and expect
the disease to disappear
The body polite is sick. A fever Of discon-
tent is raging in the veins. The arteries are
pulsating at an unsound and possibly danger
Gus rate. Pustules are appearing that indi-
cate what the ailment Is without any further
diagnosis. Our assembled wisdom might
well be in consultation in regard to the gen.

But the talk is of yesterday.
The three high commissioners, whose duty
it is to look after the special interests of the
head, have not been unmindful of their i'm
portance or present duty. They have given
due notice that it is quite useless for the dis
ease to proceed along any of the arteries
leading in their direction; that no such at
tempt could result in good, and in order to
avoid summary expulsion it would be wiser
to remain away! What pity it is that the
Jews and the governing powers at Jerusalem
had not been in more modern and amicable
relations When the rabble from Galilee was
known to be approaching that city, the rulers
and regulators of which (the then respect
able status quo) had been SO roundiy de-
nounced by Him who now came at the head
of His following riding on an ASS colt, what
consequences might have been averted by the
prompt and efficient action of such three
high commissioners
These men are only lobbyists. In a general
way Mr.. Reed approves of the lobby. Several
hundred came over few days since from
Philadelphia. To be sure, the case was dif-
ferent. These hundreds rode here; they. or
somebody, paid their railroad and hotel bills.
And, besides, they only came to ask a con-
tinuance of the loaves and fishes. These
Coxeyites are poor, ragged and unwashed,
and they have the effrontery to ask new
style OF issue of government rations!
However, good ideas are sometimes born
illegitimately. This manifesto Of the COM
missioners might be stereotyped for us at the
next presidential Inauguration. thereby keep
ing out, not 200 ragged men, but 20, 900 office
seekers. A queer business, this making of
history. This proclamation will stand out
clear ON the darker groundwork. Coxey and
his band may not enter. Meanwhile the chief
high priest of Wall street comes over to re-
mind the guardian OF the treasure house tina.
he discounted his last note for $4,000, 900
solely on the agreement that we would prom
ise there should be no more silver legislation
Verify the weavers are all busy. We may be
making history faster than we think. Who
