Euough districts are yet doubtful to make the outcome uncertain though probabilities favor the Repulii- cand, In the present congress are four independents, Noe have besa elecied, Had they been returned, they would have held the balauce of power and the two great parties wou!d have been in ao exceedingly awkward position. What ever party is the ascendancy ia the next congress, it will nut have suilicient work- ing majority and if two or turee kickers orgaunizs to raa things their own way the pathway of the floor leaders will not be strewa with roses duriug the next two years.

Senator Quay speaks of ‘threats that Democratic Governors of States will re- fuse to certify the election of Republi- cans to the Clerk of the House, and he will refuse to place our people on the roll,” Wuat threats is Sesator Quay talking about? Who made them? When were they made? We have heard nothing of any one refusing to cert: fy duly elected Congressmen, wheth- er Democrats or Republicans. Does the chairman of the Republican National Committee expeet that his Bombastes Furioso pronuociamento will frighten Democratic Goveroorsand the Clerk of the House into certifying as elected Con- gressmen who were not elected ? Ifso he might as well noderstand, once for ail, that he is “not dealing with children or old women.” The House of Represectatives of the Fifty-first Congress will be Demogratic if a majority of ite elected members are Democrats, but Repoblican if trary is the ease. No manipulation wil change the resol, and no iatimidation be aliowed to sffect it. Ballies cannot rale this country, and political braggarts are none the less bullies because some of them masqoerade as Plumed Knights aod others bluster about holding things with a “mailed baod,” whether they he long to them or not, The abov is from the New York Star and every Democrat will say Amen to it. -» -—— the con- A Washington dispatch reports secretary Fairchild as sayiog that he will continue to the end of the present administration the same policy he has hitherto pursued in regard to bond purchases. Last A pril the sarplas was $11,000 000, On Wed nes day of last week it was $67 000.000. It ap pears, therefore, that the surplos has been redaced $43000000 in seven mouths Dari gOctober the sumof $33 000,000 was paid for bonds, and daring the first half of the preseat month about $10,000,000, The secretary says: “As long as bonds are offered at reasonable rates and as long as [ bave asurplus 1 will purchase, As soon as bondholders ask exorbitant prices 1 will quit baying. Whether we have a ‘arge or smal surplus or none at all in the treasury on the 4tn f March will depend on the general rules of buy- ing aad selling. I will not buy at unrea sonable premiams.” This is a plain com~ mon-sense mode of procedare to whi ‘h no reasonable object can be made, The campaign critics ns of the secretsry’s course were for effect, and we shall prob- bly hear no more of them hereafter. . a The question of the aduolteration of food products, which is undergoing in vestigation by 8 committee of Congress, and which was brought before the Na- tional Board of Trade at Chicago last week, has been taken up by the General Convention of Grangers at Topeka. The Worthy Master, in bringing it before the delegates rpoke with great emphasis. He said that the practice of food adulter- ation had now reached alarming propors tions, aud tbat it affected the healthfals ness of many of the articles of common diet. He argued that legislation for its prevention was demanded, and we pre- sume that when the report of the inves tigating committee is lead before Cone gress the necessary measures for securing the safety and wholesomeness of ‘he people's food will be adopted. We can: not tolerate the poisoning of the stap les of public nourishment, oc AA A ARS Congressman Reed, of Maine, has sen: word to Washing on he is a candidate for speaker, nod that settles the matter, unless the Western members take the bit in their mouth, Mr, Reed has great ability as a party leader, hat not exactly the kind tht shines in the speakers chair. He lacks the jodicial me hod; is slways a bitter partisan, and boast of being a Chinese wall protectionist. Mr McK nley would made a much better speaker than Reed, as he is cast in the Carlisle mold. Cannon, of Illinois, is a possibility, shoald the Wes'ern members demand the speaker shall come from their section. But there is plenty of time. Unless an extra session is called, it will be over a year before the pew con. gress meets, and there are likely to be business and indastry, and ia the stand. lug of public mew in the huverval, The presidency is settied for four years years, but beyoud that who can teil ?
