NOW THAT Senator Evarts has step- ped down, and likewise out, will he kindly solve the old problem, “What hat?” YOU are in doubt as to who is the governor of anywhere, pre- sent the question to D.

WE BELIEVE this country, not to say this world, can get along without a congress for a couple of days, and therefore it is a good thing that we are finally left to the guardian angels. see E TR Theodore Moss is all right; but in view of recent devel- opments it is a consoling reflection that Lester Wallack has gone where neither Theodore nor rust doth corrupt.

OHN SHERMAN said very sensible things in his note to the 7imes regarding the service for the dying administered to his brother by a representative of the Catholic church. Such rites surely do no harm. They are in harmony with the spirit of the Protestant church in similar cases. Probably souls are taken care of without as well as with them, and it is not a broad or tolerant spirit, in the church or out of it, that vexes itself with a ceremonial that brings consolation to the bereaved. How much of fuss and littleness there is with regard to a world of which no living man has positive information. THE SILVER BUSINESS. REE COINAGE on the platform of the Democratic party would beat the party. Mr. Cleveland comes as near to it as he dare and as the national convention will dare, and his silver letter is likely to furnish the basis of compromise, whatever the radical silver men may demand. No- body questions the courage necessary to produce the letter; and yet, as events are likely to. shape themselves, it will presently be public opinion that it would have taken more courage not to write it. For, mark you! however much Mr. Cleveland poses as an honest, cour- ageous innocent, he is a very shrewd man. STOP THAT! I" IS NOT JUST in the Columbus (Ga.) Sun to say that the south, while it forgave Grant, will not forgive Sher- man. The terms of surrender offered Johnston by Sherman were so liberal that even Lincoln, as well as Grant, for- bade them; and again it is not possible to fight an open enemy with an olive- branch and blank cartridges. Sherman went into the war with the greatest re- luctance, and urged a proclamation of peace long before it was decided upon. The south hates too much and forgives — what a word that is in that connection ! —too little. It has an ocean of memory for the real or fancied wrongs .which. it invited, and not a trickle for the magna- nimity shown by the army and the gov- ernment that whipped it. PROGRESS. OF COURSE, there is anew era. The period between ‘6o and ‘91 is very long, and the way is rough with graves. We do not know that any considerable number of southern men have come north, but a great many northern men have gone south. There are new men, new conditions, new hopes, and those of the veterans who are not dead are old, and exist largely to tell what they have been, taking small note of what they are or may be. Yet to-day it is deemed a crime on the part of the federal government to enforce the rights of black men at the polls, and so far as politics is concerned they are as much in slavery as before President Lincoln struck the shackies from their limbs and congress gave them the right of opinion through the ballot-box.

E OBSERVE, by a biography of Mr. Flower, that that gentleman wears a shirt frayed at the edges, that he once drove a yoke of oxen, and that he has built three churches. This leads to a suspicion that if he can’t take the governorship he will reach out for the presidency; though, of course, it would add immensely to his chances if he had driven horses on the canal, had split rails, and had been in the habit of drinking hard cider. But much can be done in a short time by way of fitting himself for cither the larger or the smaller office. Let us suggest that he prepare a spring agricultural address, harden his hands by making garden with a hoe, and grease his boots with a cold candle. ‘That done, and his money carefully counted, and the dear old boy shall have any office to which he can be elected. comicbooks.com
