THE BANNER AND THE CONTINENT. F THERE is ever another international struggle in which this country has a part, what will be the cause of it? There is going to be no war about Canada between England and the United States, because Canada will come to us in the natural course of events, The island of Cuba be- longs to and wants to be a part of this government; and it will presently be an expensive addition to Spain, having already been leeched of its wealth until it isa France has had all she wants of the isthmus of Nicaragua canal will be built with American ¢ all interest from that point until it becomes ad RATIFIED INQUISITIVENESS.

The understanding recently reached through the efforts of Mr. Blaine between North, South, and Cen- tral America unites the interests of the three great sections of the conti- nent, and each recognizes the great principle of mutual protection. ‘There can be no war because of foreign invasion, because there can’t be. Will there be another civil war? That is utterly impossible for at least a hun- dred—probably a thousand—years to come. New issues, new thoughts, new situations will have to be built up before there can be cause for civil war; and happily, while the two great parties are pretty evenly balanced, as they should be, their respect for peace and fairness and the adjudication of their own selection will outweigh all desire for the needless shedding of blood. The old banner is all right. Presently it may span the continent. We think that after a long and refreshing season of peace and prosperity it will, but there is no hurry about it; and meanwhile the people can go on making money, whistling “ Hail Columbia,” and having a good time. LOGIC, [7 1S PROPER in the Rochester Union to mention the United States in the plural because of its apparent belief that the creation of the union by states involves the separation of the union by secession; and according to this logic we may put the Union in the plural because it has several stockholders and is printed in the interest of a good many subscribers in a like number of counties, And we beg to add that the Union must and shall be preserved. CENTRALIZATION. T SEEMS reasonable that the gen- eral government should have charge of elections having to do with its own composition. The people at large have about as much interest in them as the states from which the different parts of the general government come, The votes of representatives in congress are not votes for certain districts or states so much as they are votes for the gen- eral good or injury of all the states. The president docs not represent sole- ly the state to which he belongs, and so of the occupants of senatorial chairs. If it is notorious that members of con- gress are not fairly elected—and we suppose the north has its sins in that respect as well as the south —it is not a local misfortune so much as a nation- al mistake. Every bad action of a man dishonestly holding a seat in the house of representatives is a reflection on ni tional honor, to say nothing of the dis grace that is foisted upon alll the states by the villainy of one. Is federal con- trol of really federal elections that bad thing that we call centralization? Well, suppose we say, in a grand burst of patriotism—for the proposition #s startling—that the general government has rights as well as the governments of states, counties, and individuals. REGARDING IMPERTINENCE. - T HAS NEVER struck us that a president, while a servant, was a serf of the people. A number of years ago there was an inquiry on the part of the house of representatives as to why President Grant spent his summers at Long Branch, and the reply was so sufficient—to the effect that the president would attend to his business if the house would man- its own affairs—that the inquiry was not repeated. It is not sup- posed that a president, or a senator, or a representative, can submit to bribery with respect to-any public matter without exhibiting in his sub- sequent action the thing that is paid for; but courtesies are little things of a personal nature, and the country has as little business with them as it has with the somewhat agitated foolishness whether the president has wine at table and gives it to his guests. If Mr. Childs gave Mrs. Cleve- land a cow, and if Mr. Cleveland made money in real-estate transactions, those matters are the business merely of the parties immediately inter- ested; and we do suppose that Mrs. Harrison has a right to a cottage without giving the wherefore of her possession of it to every whipper- snapper having so little of his own business to attend to that he must give up his contemptible life and curiosity to the individual matters of other persons, comicbooks.com
