THE ASHANTEE SPOILS.

The British government is disap-
pointed with the spoils from Ashantee.
Many of the articles ARE hollow gold

to be worth not more than $4,000" This
is lamentable. The spoils system is in
a bad way everywhere. Time was

which consumed three days in passing
a given point.
England, too. in her day has gloated
upon rich and gorgeous spoils brought
from the four quarters of the globe.
She has. however. abstained from os-
tentatious professions of the same. In
deed, there have been times when Eng
land has been inclined to feel rather
ashamed of despoiling the enemy. This
feeling was once sharply accumulated
by the free and open-handed manner
in which Lord Give helped himself to
the jaghires, lakhs, gold mohurs, dia-
monds and pearls of India. Thackeray
recalls the noble speech of Give when
his constituents reproached him on his
return from the campaign: Upon my
life" said the hero of Plassy, when 1
think of my opportunities, 1 am sur
prised 1 took so little
But England has safely gotten over
those squeamish feelings. and in our
| day Lord Give would be considered a
bigger If not a grander man than old
| Gladstone. Only 1900 worth of spoils
| from Ashantee, forsooth! Hollow gold
at that! BY all the gods at once what
a degenerate and pusillanimous age is
/ this when Brittania can't swipe enough
stuff from a savage realm to pay for
the cost of the expedition. These i'm
| pudent African rascals must reform.
They must be taught that the Nine
teenth century expects better things
and more of them. Hollow gold won't
do for a nation that is solid for gold.
1t matters not that these Christianiz-
ing expeditions into Africa have come
50 thick and fast that the Africans
have nothing more to offer to their
beneficent despoilers in return for bull
let wounds and religious enlighten-
ment. The objection is overuled.
They must be made to understand that
they have got to pungle and that's all
there is of 1t.

THEIR WASTED DAYS.

One day last week Senator Palmer
said for publication that the congress
of the United States finds IT an easy
matter 20 attend TO the affairs of other
nations but IT has shown itself utterly
incompetent to deal with our own do
nestle affairs.
The venerable senator from Illinois
must be aware that the principal do
nestle affairs now engaging public at
tention are the presidential aspirations
OF several gentlemen who are members
OF congress-their plan is TO have the
first session OF the Fifty-fourt con-
gress a brief affair which shall ma Ike
itself a record for the paucity Of it's
achievements. When he was elected
to the Office OF speaker. Mr.. Reed re-
marked that there was little i'm the line
OF new work which the session could
probably undertake. Other members
OF congress who are cherishing the
same ambition that controls Speaker
Reed will be willing to approve the do
nothing policy.
In fact, we have had a remarkable

days has been 10 attract the public eye.

Monroe doctrine has been expounded,
the Cuban situation reviewed. England
has been lectured, SPANS history has
been recbted to the WEAKNESS of the
public.
But no harm comes of this pro-
gramme. The one essential question
before the American people concerns
silver. This is a question respecting
which farther discussion in the present
congress is bootless. What harm,
then. in the oratory on which certain
ambitious congressman hope to build
up a name for themselves? AS well
pass the days. while routine commit
tees are busy over the appropriations,
in talk about things abroad as about
non-essential matters at home. 1t is
as interesting to read the reports of

1t would be to peruse the harangues of
politicians in regard to the worth or
the worthlessness of the rival political
parties; and the gallery appears to en-
joy what is said.

Mark Twain told a Bombay reporter
that his memory sometimes completely
deserts him when he is on the platform.
He is apt to forget the point of the story
he happens to be telling, and to avoid a
catastrophe he dovetails another anec-

smooths over the break as best he can.

the Cuban question became intense we

the policy and the intentions of our

WHILE WE WAIT.

Who among the republican senators
is to be selected TO make a formal re-
ply to Mr.. Carriers recent speech? II
is not probable that the issues he pre-
scented will be left untouched for the
rest of the session; passing remarks
by Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Sherman do not
dispose of Mr.. Carriers broad asser-
rion of republican infidelity to party
pledges.
1t was said in Washington, last
week. that several republican senator's,
notably Mr.. Aldrich, prefer that the
discussion of the silver question be not
revived, but there is little likelihood
that this wish will be met. Mr.. Carter
is catching any amount of severe criti-
cism-scores of republican newspapers
are making loud calls for his instant
resignation as chairman of the repub-
hcan committee. OF course. Mr.. Car
ter will not resign. but the republican
organs may keep prodding him until he
is induced to talk again.
Then there is Mr.. Teller; he was
quoted last week as having said that
the charges of treachery and desertion
are not so light a thing as to be passed
by unnoticed and that ne will have
considerable to say before the session
closes. Probably some senator is
quietly in training for a reply to Mr.
Carter; and thus another field day for
silver is likely.

THE NEW ARMY.

Were George Washington alive to-
day we do not believe that he would
enlist in the salvation army; however.
his portrait displayed last night in
Cooper Union appears to have stirred
much enthusiasm among Ballington
Booths recruits. The new army starts
out with plenty of zeal; it's
quarrel with his former associates but
that he thinks a little strictly American
salvation will not be a bad thing.
The English plan for the organization
of the salvationists is not well suited
to conditions in this country-there is
too much of one-man power about it.
Darlington Booth is fresh from an ex-
perience which is in proof on that
score. He was summarily dismissed.
He discovered that he had no recourse
The power that removed him has all
the wealth and strength of the army at
command-it is as despotic as any kind
of control that exists in these modern
times.
If Booth proposes to follow in the
footsteps Of George Washington. he
must operate on a plan that takes ac-
count of representation for his people.
Absolute monarchy in the management
Of a religious movement TO meet the
needs of the masses is not American.
II Darlington Booth follows his fathers
plan, there will be several salvation
armies in the field before long
