The time of Hobe.son. Secretary of tho
Navy, Is near at hand, and Irreverent
newspaper men are already calling him
Ihe tblel or the navy; but, bo it
know, that thl- man, made of other Mull"
than Ihe blubberlni: Helknap, will not
surrender upon demand. He will make
u desperate Mruutfle, and be supported bv
all the power of the ndmlnhtrattoii and
Iteimbllcan party. The Itepublican
party never deserts one of Itsra'cals who
has pluck.
Lately one ot the committees of the
house came into po.ies.ion of evidence
that Secretary L'obeson furnished to Jav
Cooke, McCulloch & Co., alter the col
lapse of the linn, $I,.VW,000 governiutnt
money. This was bad enough, but It
turns out that the only fecuilty .lav
Cooke A Co. gave lor thN latL'e .sum of
money, was $200,000 ot railroad Iron, and
tuts Had been pledged to other creditors
ol the firm lor nearly its value.
Ihe defence ect up by Secretary Kolx
son was, that lie had committed au error
ot Judgment simply that the tlriu was
at me lime the money was nent to them,
naval ascnts ol thr- government. Hut it
Is now .-aid, that telegrams have been un
covered that wipe out this defeiiie.

"We have licd a hundred year.-," said
ex-Governor .lolin T. Ilollinan, of New
Vork, in a speech made by liiiu a lew
days ago, "wo have lived a hundred
'years and have not yet learned to gov cm
'large t itle-." .More than thN : we have
not yet learned to govern small cities,
it is a fact, that In cities large aud -mali
--the worst elements of soviet v have
great power, aud e.ercl-e it to the be.-t
advantage. Gamblers, bawd- aud other
loose characters of all kinds, knowing
their advantage, become active politic
ians, and give to many cities their otllcers.
The good cltl.eus stand back, apparently
forgettul ol the Tad, that it Is their duty
to exert every pos-ible iullucncc in the
cau-eot good local government. We
have therefore, In nut a few cities, -tu-pldlty
In the legl-latlve department anil

The Hepulillcaii' seem to be as much
at sea on the llnauclal tpiesilon as
the Democrats. In our own Statu they
declare for hard money, and In another,
Indulge In I'uUouie praNo of a paper cur
rency. At Toledo a few days ago, a He
publican convention declared Governor
Hayes the man for President, and at the
same tlino denounced the bulllonists,
protested against contraction and
demanded the repeal of Hut resump
tion act. This action has a peculiar
appearance when viewed! u the light
of the fact that Governor Hayes
is a bulliowl.t, a coutractionlst, and a re
sumption bill man. lie was tho hard
