Editorial Notes

Tlie qiiestion lí, is Folsom Cleveland in heer apparent to the jiresldeneyf Henry Ward Beeeber should be Cleveland's secretary of Ihe Hiivy, lic is gucli i 'gul-lanf' fellow. Tlie next national house of representativos will be democratie by 30 majority, n republican gain of 22. Howmany ex-rebel generáis will Cleveland place in his cabinet? That's a queslinn loyal people are Interested In. The south went out of power iu 1860. It returns to power in 1885. What wil! the record be? A repetition of the old record V Suppose Henry Ward Beecher sliould be appointed secretary of state by Cleveland, would Mrs. Tilton be appointed one of the department clerks? Who knows? It seenis a little singular that a prohibition president should procluim that there "mustbe nosumptuary legislation," yet there can be no mistake. lie was eleetcd by prohibition votes. There is always soinething left to comfort the mourners. We shall not be humillated wlth two years more of Begole. He is buricd f o rever, never more to peep in politics. Ah rev'ir. Atijovrd'hui roi, demain rein. A clamor is already coming np f rom the south for a división of spoils, and i demand is being made for tlie appointment of Kegan of Texas, ex-postmaster general of the ex-Confederaey, to the like position in ClevelaudV cabinet- sliould be ever form on e. The defeat of Hon. R. O. Horrnnd the selection of sucli a thin excuse asTarsuey iu the 8th congressional district, is one of the "iioculiarities" of the popular pulse. It lias beat itself badly in tliis instance. Tarsncy is one of tlie rollicking, quickwitted "bhoys." with as much ability and statesmanship as Josiali Begole. Just a bont. Cleveland lias dispelled tli fatal ty whieli past liistory liad thrown around the letter O as a presideutial initinl. The fact that the men wlio failed in the past - Clay, Calhoon, Cass, Chandler, etc.,- were all sound, brainy men- statesmen, in fact- probably accounts for Cleveland's success. Our men of genius, capacity and strong intellect seldom succeed n thcir ambition. The home is the foundation of the republic. He wlio ihlriu the responsibility of nnking a home is a dangerous man to society. The man wlio lives a bachelor's 1 i fe, neglecting or refusing to liud for himsclf awife, is lacking in one of the most important qualities of manhood. He is usually supremely selñsh, and of the stamp that preys upon virtue, and drags pure womanbood down to deffradation and sorrow. It ought to be one of the unwritten laws of tuis land that no unmarried maa should be honored with place or power of any kind.
