--Tpnrttm* demagogue)* who wisnea to pat it on record a* openly insulting the i President of the Dsitixl States. Every thing that malice and ingenuity could suggest was put in ojieration to secure the official sanction of the order to the pe infamous conduct of Tuttle, whose mouthpiece. Vandcrvoort, expended all the blatant 'eloquence be was capable of in the attempt to t<olsler up the ex- | cotton grabber. But thanks to the healthy public sentiment which has retailed ittelt in all parts of the country | and to the better and more patriotic figment in the Grand Army Ukdf. an unqualified rebuke was administered to Tuttle, Fairchild and their adherent*. It has been officially determined that the Grand Army of the Republic does not countenance blackguard altacks upon the President of the United States eren though he be of a different political faith from that upheld by that organisation. For the Grand Army has distinctly shown it* allegiance to the Republican party In ibt attitude it assumed during the recent encampment. Politics took up a great portion of its time, and it *erv->d notice on the party with which ' it affiliates as to whst'its choice would be during the Presidential year. One of the most prominent and gallant Union commanders General Slocum, ' v who was the principal candidate for the position that Fairchild disgraced, was rejected Sor an obscure Minnesota . lawyer, simply because hr was a Democrat. There was something more than mere buncombe in the expression which one fool partisan member of tiie Organization is reported to hare made, that "there never had been a Democratic Commandcr-iii-f'btct, and, by the Eternal, there never would be." The fact that it it a Republican organization, emphasizes the more the re- * fusal of the Grand Army to countenance attacks upon the Democratic President, and testifies that Union veterans, whatever their pol.tics may be, can not bo seduced into a disunion policy at the beck of unscrupulous demagogues. Vanderroort's resolution, urged with all the vehemence of a malignant nature, was defeated by such a decisive vote that w* win likely hear but little for tne future of Tuttleism. Fairchlld’sm and Forakermania in the ranks of the Grand Army. A great deal is due to the wise and temperate councils and wholesome influence of General Sherman in bringing about Mich a satisfactory result. The defeat of the tnuch-disciis-cd

. “ service pension measure by the National ' encaaipu'.ent was • (tinging rebuke to fhos* degenerate members who would torn the order into a mendicant body and play into the hands of the most outrageous lobby that ever cursed the bails «>f Cengn’ss. “We will continue to ask lor aid until no wail of sorrow b beard from destitute and disabled veterans’" hypocritically exclaims ‘'Palsy” Fairchild, knowing as he does, that the •government is now paying $70,000.000 a year to the 4*0,000 pea- , si oners on its rolls. Another beautiful specimen rtf the pension shark was oae Comrade Stephen J. Burrows, of Mansfield Post. No 36. of this State; who naively atatedthst the surplus should go to the veterans and “the taxpayers be damned. ' Wc also have one General Bennett, of Richmond, Ind., who puts* the matter in this modest light. “The annual surplus reaches f 13C.00Q,000. Give the boys the fOd.000.000; *-* ***- 'mm — Ted-alning •’ SuhPW^3..ns show what a disreputable element the docent members of the Grand Armv had ♦b contend against. The bluster and fury of each an clement will have little effect now that the organisation at its highest conned deliberately and effectively mat down on them. It b a pity, however, that narrow-minded partisanship should have been carried so far as to reject such a distinguished soldier 4 as Slocum because he is a democrat. ,Hi* election would have tended to purify the position in which Fairchild ' it brought such lasting obloquy. -t, Albany (sV. Y.J.Argu*. IN KANSAS AND OHIO. lUea nslsSitt ■buspaat In Two Slat** ( on troll*,! fcy Krpubitrou*. The last Legblaturcof Ohio repealed . the law compelling the maintenance of separate schools for colored children, as the ratio of colored children to was only one to forty. The r»| the law compelled the one col child to seek a place among the thirty-nine or give np going to s at all The thirty-nine, or their not* fpr them, objected to the oi the ground that the thirty-nine in danger of being contaminated disgraced or something by a: with the one. This little leaven color was sufficient to create a that the school contingent of the State was in danger of becoming colored or something worse. In three towns at least disturbances hare occurred and the trouble is likely to spread. At Ripley the colored children have been rejected. At Oxford the separate schools are maintained in defiance of the law, and at Yellow Springs-the schools have been closed entirely. This manifestation of race prejudice has also appeared in Kansas, the State whfch had its birth in the conflict Which ended in making the colored people,Dm pews of the whites before the law. At Fort Scott, a town of 7,000 people, the colored people concluded to claim their rights in this respect. and at the opening of the schools a couple of weeks ago sent their children to the white schools only to be refused admission. The : courts have bee n appealed to and are certain to decide in favor of the colored people. So bitter is the feeling, however, on die part of the whites that they props*©, if beaten, to withdraw and leave the schools entirely to the blacks This would be biting off the white nose to spite fhe black face with a vengeance, but the very throat, it is, shows bow deep the is, oven in the State* I for their abolition tendenfor the goose is sauce ; indeed we submit that

If they do not the public will be Justified in the conclusion that the mos t of the Northern outcry against race prejudice in the South is rank phai-iseatsm. —Philadelphia Timet (/ri) SIGNIFICANT FIGURES. When the Democratic party assumed control of the affairs of the Federal Government it Was with the fully-er* ' pressed promise that those affairs ; should be conducted upon an honeet - and economical basis. Honesty and economy hare been higl)»soundittg titles in political party promises for years, but while the Re- j publk-an party remained in power tbe people hare in rain looked into the records of the Government to discover the fruits of an honest and economical j administration of its affairs. Vfhat is the case with the present! Democratic Administration? In no ■ branch of the Government does an economical management manifest IU i sell more quickly than in the depart-j meiat of internal revenue and custom* | and that the people may hare some , insi ght into tbe workings of this branch '

of tiovernment service unaer a wemo i era tic Administration their att^ucioo ’ is directed to a contention cl the following ggiirw taken from the reo | ordt orthe Treasury Department at ! Washington, making a comparison be- ‘ tween the receipts from eu stoUt* and from internal rerettiie, and the respective cost t)l collecting the same undei Ike la.-t year of President Arthur’s Republican Administration and the first two years of President deVelAnd’* Democratic Administratioft. The receipts from customs for thfc fiscal year of 1895, -the last year t»l! Arthur’s Administration, werfi $183,116,808.60. For the fiscal years of 18* and 1887, the first two years, of Clereland's Administration, the receipts from the same sonreo were $194.189-,. • 356.00 and $217,286,893.13, respectively; being an .lucrerise in Collections -over \m> of |l 1.072.547.40, for 1886, ami of $31,140,084.53 for 1887. Now ns te the expense of collecting these customs the. records show that It cost $8,918,221.19 to collect $183,116,808.* . in the Rej ntdican Administration <8 1885, and only $8,487,613.00 to collect the same'-amount, and $11.072,447.4( , more in 1886. and only $6,870,671.41 j to collect the same amount, and $84,- 1 140,084,53 more in 1887, the two ytart Democratic control. Thai is to say ir 1885 the cost of collecting the enstomt was 8.77 per cent., while in 1886 it wai 3.30 per cent, and 1887 only 3.16 pel cent. An analysis ol the collections of 1» j ternal revenue and the coat of collect ing the same shows that the saneecono my was practiced as Iti the cam of the customs. The receipts from internal revenue for the fiscal year 1881 were $114498,725.54. For the fisc* years 1886 and 1887 the receipts from

me same imun-e Were (116.805.936. and (d1HtR.17.3ui.06. respectively; being an increase in collections over 1882 ' of $4,307.21094 for 1886. and of (6. 338.575.52 for 1887. It cost under tht Republican Administration in 1885, tc collect fII2.498.725.54 the sum of ft. 455.43U 27, and onljr $4,299,485.28 tc collect the same amount, and $4,307,21094 more ia 1885. and only $4,076,15020 to collect the same amonnt and $6,838,572.52 more in 1887. the twc years of Democratic rule. In othei words,"the cost of collecting the in- ! | teraal revenue in 1885 was 3.96 pet cent, while in 1886 it was 3 68 pet cent, and m 1887 only 3.43 pe> cent These figures are full bf signiticance.

The President’s Oratory. President Cleveland has *mad< speeches at Indianapolis, St Louis, Chicago. Milwaukee and Madison, every one of which has been n model of ;ita kind. He makes no attempts at oratorical flourishes. Every thing he says is plain and direct full of strong common sense and good humor. His position is delicate, speaking as President of the United States to crowds which represent every shade of political opinion and prejudice; but to a man of his character it presents no such difficulty as it would to the professional popular orator. & is honest, strong and simple, and his language is honest strong and simple.
