The question, with the example before us of the late congress, relates to the preservation of some of them. The work of appropriation has begun with a venge- ance, and in due season th s likely to be less than the amount that prudence requires. But for the staying hand of the president the surplus supply and that of the next ten yea would have been given away by the national calamity, and as it is the depletion will be extraordinarily great. AN IRRBPRESSI NFLICT. Mayor Hewitt declares that capital has a right to organize against labor, and that labor has no right to organize for self-defence. This has sprung a very large quarrel, in which the mayor and the governor are likely to destroy each other, incidentally draggirig down the Democratic establishment along with them. ‘The mayor says the governor is a demagogue, and will presently proceed to prove it; and as soon as his opponent gets into fighting trim he will retaliate with neatness and dispatch. Well, it isa good fight, for when Democrats fall out honest men sometimes get their dues. THE JUDGE AND THE FUND. When the New York Jupar announced its purpose to secure contributions to the Grant monument fund, with its word puzzles, certain of its contemporaries waxed merry at the pro- posal and intimated that nothing practical would come of it. On Wednesday Mr. W. J. Arkell sent a check for $1,000 to the a result of the JubGe's effort. That isa good ¢ more substantial than the jokes of the June's critics.—Troy Telegram. These who derided the efforts of the Jupar publishing company of New York to help the Grant monument fund by its“ word hunt " plan will not smile so much when thy read that I resi- dent Arkell of the Japaz company has sent $1,000 to the Grant monument fund as the result Of his plan to aid it, He proposes to continue his efforts, If more of this good work were dene a less croaking the Grant. monument would be his breath had entoirely left his body, so I cuddn't George was born only once.

Hewitt was referred to Governor Hill he is reported to have said. “If that letter is read I shall not be present to hear it.” But of course he said ho such thing. His language was, ‘If that. matter is dead,” evidently referring to the labor question, I shall not be expected to fear i.” It may be argued that the latter declara-| tion was entirely superfluous and wholly un- but then, good gracious! that was characteristic of the whole of his labored effusiveness, OVE BIRTHDAY AND ONE MAN. y gave birth to four chil. gly, and only completed itch sooner than we have reason to expect it will be.— Albany Journal, Two ne the June spapers tl plan hay at_ strenuously opposed » thus far failed to send »| write Bacon.

UNCLE EDMUNDS'S MENTAL RESERVATION. In his evening prayer Uncle Edmunds men- tions a great man; tesmen as eligible for mercy or advancement, and, having got through, he adds the postscript, ‘ You will understand, our Father, that I have omitted | the names of one or two gentlemen whom I might have been expected to mention.
