Not Without Hope.

Though defeated, Democracy will
again come up smiling. She has
fought too good and effective a fight
against herself and her enemies to be
dismayed in the face of the apparent
beneficial results of her equitable leg
islation. Her equitable legislation is
not in dispute nor nullihed by defeat I;
nor can her defeat be based upon it.
This the popular sentiment of the
country will yet recognize and ap-
prove as heartily as it sought reform
by and through the elevation of the
party into power. Nor will her po-
litical opponents be swift in their at.
tempt to undo her tariff legislation.
And why Surely not because the
protection of all manner of trusts, com.
bines and monopolies will be less desir-
able with them, but because they it
will be impolitic to attempt it. There
will be no change of issue, so far as
Democracy is concerned. Her aim
will continue to be along the line of
further tariff reduction while the Re
publican party, elated over temporary
success, will continue to champion
the cause of the money power of
America upon the tariff and every
other issue that may arise. This be.
ing the attitude, in times of ordinary
prosperity Democratic opportunities,
we hold, will be worth more to the
country and to the individual aspirant
than Republican hope of continued
favor.
1t was upon the promise of tariff
reform that Democracy swept Repub-
licans overheard quite as disastrously
as she now finds herself submerged
through popular disgust at her failure
to harmonic and to punctually fulfil
her ante election promises. The
President was almost alone in the
honest effort, and in consequence dis
astrous political, commercial, and
business depression wrought out the
inglorious defeat leaving Hill, Cor
man & Co., to gather what consola-
tion they can from the temporary re-
buke of the sovereign power.
The internal strife within the party
and at the very seat of Govern ment
reached out in all directions and
entering the halls of legislation,
State and National it was an ominous
precursor Of party decentralization
that headed directly for tina inglorious
revolution that followed in conse
quence. And yet the unterrihed are
not without hope for the future by
any means. We are fast becoming
acquainted with political "landslides,
"slumps,' &c, that are based upor
the real or imaginary ailments Of the
sovereign voters, many of whom
while they can neither read or write
are got quite able to feel distress
when it strike them.

STATE GAME COMMISSION.
An Important Measure to be Presented 10 fhe
Next Legislature.

The legislative committee of the
State Sportsmen association, met in

gare, fish and bounty legislation. 1t
was agreed TO present bills to the next

sst of six members to be appointed by
the governor the commissioners to
serve without compensation other
than their actual and necessary travel
ing expenses which are incurred in

The commission is to appoint ten

tector with salary of 5000 year
and have an Office in this city. For
the entire expenses of the work of the
commission an appropriation Of
$4,000 will be asked for two years.
The association also decided to
leave the present game laws remain as
they are, except as to woodcock and
squirrels, which shall be killed only
after October to December 81. At
present woodcock can be taken from
July 4 to December 81 and squirrels
from September to December 81.

Business Depression.

If Democratic ascendancy has been
responsible for business depression it
is just as well. perhaps that Repub-
licans are again partially permitted TO
share the responsibility by regaining
control of the lower House OF Con-
gress, as they no doubt have done
through the last election. We fancy,
however, that strikes SO common un-
der the Republican regime will still
be heard of, and that the same old
warfare between capital and labor
will still be waged.
