Dragging and Facts.

In view of the Republican pronuneia-
mento on the subject Of prosperity, social
ed, it is at least curious TO read in Dunn
Recie,o of June 9th, that the failures in
MAY were not only the largest ever known
in that month since such records were
made, but for eighty months covered by
these returns only six have shown as large
liabilities
1t is the fashion to talk prosperity aud
any man who expresses a doubt Is looked
at suspiciously for fear he may have some
Interior motive in expressing the doubt.
We do not stop to think that to Republi
can organs and Republican platforms have
evident Interior motives in asserting that
there is unexampled prosperity. That Is
their cue, to talk big figures and claim
that it is all due to the Republican party.
Nobody can charge Dunn $ ReUjsir with
trying to make the situation darker than it
is, for even this report concerning the
month of May is described as "encourag-
ing If Dunn Rerie,r ever varies from
the truth il is, as is well known, TO make
things look as bright as possible; but no
one questions its statements Of fact and
when it states that the month Of May this
year broke the record Of failures for all the
months of May since records have been
kept, we have before Us a fact which re
fuses to be ignored and which We respect
fully commend to those who are in the
habi; of deriving their facts from political
organs or party platforms.
It is peculiar sort Of prosperity which
is characterized by an almost unprecedent-
ed record Of failures We do not mean to
assert that we are having hard times We
are not doing any calamity bowling We
simply want to place some red hot Repub
lican Dragging along side Of some lee cold

The Boss-Ridden Convention.
From the Boston Herald.

The Convention was absolutely harmon
ious, and absolutely useless as an indica
ton of public sentiment No representa-
tive of anti Administration sentiment on
any subject was given an opportunity even
to get himself Missed by the subservient
lackeys of power There was no more in
dependent freedom of speech than in an
assembly of Germans, Russians or Turks
Such National Convention was never be-
fore known in America Twelve years
ago it would have been the death of any
party submitting to it. Perhaps it will be
so now. 1t may be that there are yet some
sparks of living independence in the Re
publican party; that it is not a moribund
organization, composed wholly of dictators
and cravens. There is more hope of the
nations purity and safety in the angriest
free fight of party caucus or convention,
such as Ben Butler and Fred Williams
have given samples of in this vicinity than
in such Convention as has been held this
week in Philadelphia, having regard to the
unrelieved acquiescenee in the tyranny of
its control, and its emptiness of any gen
timely popular character.
