 As specimen Of lawful English" We nave seen nothing recently to com pare with the turgid remark of Gov ernor Odell of New York in reply to ex-GOvernor Hill on "spectacularisn," etc. Particularly, the closing sentence Of these remarks, which are given else where, may be declared as fearful piece of literary construction as any unlettered man, in public life or out of it. could possibly produce.

 1t is fine theory, of course. that the man is thrice armed "that hath his quarrel just" but as matter or fact there is often a deal of fighting power in men who have neither jus tiec nor virtue on their, side. The Turks, for example who have a rot ten 90 ..ment, with a wicked old man at its head, and whose moral con- duct is governed in hardly the slight7 est degree by considerations of. justice, may be confidently depended upon to fight as well as we'll as if they were enlisted in a noble cause. Their character may be despised, but their army cannot be.--Providence Journal.
 If the genius of legisla ton can de- wise way by which the financial in terests of this country can be put upon a foundation so secure that 1t can only be shaken by such natural causes of diversity which human power cannot resist, no effort to that end is to be spared. That a currency system can be adopted which will accomplish all this is not to be expected, but there are steps that can be taken in the right direction and if they fail of the de- sired purpose the time may come when the public welfare will demand the suppression or strict regulation of a certain class of speculators who really engage in no higher class of gambling than that done in bucket shops. Tn any event the trial is to be made and the effort is endorsed by some of the a,blest financiers. -Phila- delphia Press.
 Not for twenty-five years has the federal public service been so honey combed with crookedness as it is at the present time. The administration would like to cleanse its Augean sta- ble but it cannot. How did the mul- hilarious postoffice department scan dals, the army contract scandals, the Indian land frauds-not only the lately disclosed frauds in Oklahoma, but the older ones in Utah--occur? Entirely through political influence The men who exerted that influence are as strong as ever. If the present and the late administration could not pre- vent the mischief, the present admins tration can still less undo it. If it should make a genuine effort to do so it would split the republican party from top to bottom, Philadelphia Record.
