Washington Dispatch to Cincinnatti Enquirer (Dem) The condemnation of President Cleveland's poliev as publicly set forth by Senator Eutis, of Louisiana, roets the approval of the majority of ihe democratic hosts. He voices the dis content and distrust which are now quietly manifested. The difference is, lie has the courage to tell the president unmistakably the democratic estimate of his administration, while others who feel as he does, do not have the manli ness to tell him the truth. It can be stated as a fact that the administra tion, would now be wrecked were it not for the hope that it will yet be con verted. The democratic leaders are muzzled. They hold their peace be cause of the promise that good store awaits the future. And yet the days roll into weeks and the procrastinating policy becomes more exasperating. If there is not a change, soon the volcano of discontent will belch forth in such a way as to leve the Lousiana senator's opening gun only a faint echo. With the exception of Mr. Bayard not one of the cabinet has made an ap pointment upon his own responsibility. It would have been mere creditable to the president had he retained his premier, who seems to have gone into a "body snatching" business to reha bilitate with offices, those verging on the grave. It does not require the hor oscope of the astrologer to anticipate the result of a much longer policy of delay. Another month of it will break the camel's back.

One does not need a lantern to discover a thorough in competence of the postmaster- general. Here is an officer with 50,000 postoffi ces at his command. Nearly two thirds of them are subject to his pleas ure. Every small office is the cam paign headqu liters of the party of op position. After two months of "la bored" thought a policy is formulated. This is to give in each county in the Union one-fourth of the postoffices to democrats and retain the remaining three-fourths republicans. Such a dis tribution is puerile in its emanation and dishonest almost in its enforce ment. The administration of the state department, when seriously considered, is laughable. Its secretary has dragged out of political obscurity scores of de cayed hulks, who are sent abroad, doubtless to expose to foreign gaze a J crap of old men. More than half thus honored are men who do not believe in the community of their own govern ment. If there is any settled policy of the administration save procrastination, it is not visible to the naked eye or com prehended by finite mind. Democrats justly wonder what the president means. If the "rascals are nt to be turned out," the inference can only be that there are none in, and that the cry by the democrats of the land in this respect was false. Meanwhile Mr. Cleveland, in his high estate, seemingly ignores the claims of these who elected him to office, and seeks rather than the approbation f the ef feminate coterie of the republican par ty who could not vote for Mr. Blaine. It does not seem as if the mugwumps had the whip hand, and the tail is wagging a very slow-to-anger dog. BAYARD'S B0URB0N1SM. (From the Toledo Blada.) It seems probable that Bayard will be the first of the present Cabinet to be retired His short lease of power has been crowded with blunders. He has alienated the leaders of the North ern Democracy by not yielding to their claims in the making of appointments. And aside from this he has outraged the sentiment of the people atjlarge by his evident eagerness to resurrect the the Confederacy. Though he has al ways been recognized as a Bourbon who was closely allied with the ex Confederate element, it was supposed at the- time of his appointment that his long service as a public representa tive and as a member of the Senate committee on Foreign Affaire, had at least . given him sufficient acqnantahce with the requirement of his present place to enable him to fulfill them in telligently, and that as had sufficient breadth and patriotism to sink the character of the narrow anil hide bound partisan in the discharge of his duties as the head of the State depart ment." This he has not done, however. He has 1nade Cleveland's administra tion ridiculous by securing the appoint ment of persons, as representatives abroad, who were neither eligible un der our own laws nor receivable under the customs and practice of foreign powers. And his efforts to reward ex rebels have brought out a fact which is new to the masses of the people ihat of the older generation of men who were on the rebel side, the greater number are ineligible for office, under the constitution of the United States statutes. The third section of the fourteenth amendment debars from holding any office, civil or military, un der the United States, any one who, as a public officer either of the United States or any state, took an oath to support the United States constitution, and thereafter engage in the rebellion. Section 1,787 of the Revised Satutes snppliments this with a provision that any one ineligible under the above who accepts or holds any prohibited office shall be subject to imprisonment of not over one year, or fined nst more than 51,0110, or both. ine law also pro vides far ousting such persons who have accepted office, by quo warranto proceedings. The number of people who, at one time or another, held offi ces which necessitated the taking of the official oath to support the consti tution is very large, and compromised everybody of any note at the South during the rebellion. Executive par dons and the general amnesity procla mation relieved these men of criminal liability for treason, and made them voters, but did not make them eligible t hold office. It takes a law of Con gress to do that.' The Senate will have its hands full to overhaul the records of some of the recent appoint ees of Mr. Bayard, and acertain if they are eligible to represent abroad the government they strove to destroy. Mr, Keiley who was recently appoint ed by Bayard to the Austrian Mission at a banquet at Richmond, tendered him in honor of his appointment, he made a speech in which he used the following extraordinary language: I am to-day, as are millions of my countrymen, recognizing with fullest loyalty the authority of a government over my own state founded on what considered a gross and bloody violation of public rights committed against my self and them. That is, ho accepts service under a government which he boldly savs is founded on a gross and bloody viola tion of ihe rights of himself and the Southern people at large. Why do not some of the democratic newspapers read Mr. Keiley the same lecture they read the republican press every time an allusion was made by the latter to the war issue? He is waving the "bloody shirt" to-day as vigorously as did any republican editor. On Irs own statement, then, Keiley is stulti fying himself by accepting office nnder a government whose right to exist he denies for what? The salary of min ister to Austria, of course. Can not Bayard, if he selects ex-rebel for office, find men who gave up the fight when Lee surrendered? It is a burning dis grace to the United States to send such a man as its accredited' representative to a foreign country. His offence is not in having been a rebel, but in not admitting that the restoration of the Union was just and righteous, to be cheerfully acquiesced in by every citi zen. It is an insult to common sense tb argue that a man can regard the war for the Union "a gross and bloody violation of public right" and yet pro fess "unswerving loyalty" to the Un ion. RESULTS OP TWO MONTHS. to admit that they have been lying like cowardly scoundrels in every po litical campaign for years. Yet the democrats have to do that, or to do worse. Here is the monthly debt state ment. There is hardly a democratic editor who can print it, or a democratic speaker who can read or quoteit; v ith out proving that his assertions about the finances for years past have been as full of untruths as an egg is of meat. He has been asserting that there was an enormous surplus, which ought to be spent in clearing off debt. Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Randall unblush ingly said it wat two hundred millions or more. Every official statement of Mr. Manning, the democratic secretary of the treasury, tells them that they have been lying. The democratic ora tor and editor persisted for years in asserting that the republican state ments were "cooked" and fraudulent; that they were cunningly devised to conceal the truth and hide the robbery of the people by republicans. Mr. Manning's statements, comparing dol lar for dollar and cent for cent with those of his predecessors, using the very same items and differing only in the arrangement of them, prove that these assertions have been simply a pack of falsehoods. It is not pleasant to admit all this. But the democratic administration is forced to do that, or else to let the treasury become bank rupt in the very first year of democratic rule, and the latter would be fatal to all chances of keeping office. When a democrat has to forfeit either his chance of keeping office or his reputa tion for honesty and his self respect, there is no doubt which he will give "p- m ' ; m It is claimed that Russia is dissatis fied with and has rejected the propo sitions of England to settle their diffi culties.

The president of the exchange, Mr. Gruner, in his speech, called attention to the depression now existing in the cotton business and expressed his hopes of a speedy change for the better. In speaking of the recent short crops Mr. Gruner called attention to the fact that the crop of 1870-71, whjch amount ed to 4,300,000 bales, was and is y'et known as "the big crop." Already, h said, there had been seen a crop of 7,000,000 bales gathered, and he said that with this experience it would be unsafe to predict what would consti tute a "big crop," ten years from now. Bradstreet. The Boston Herald publishes a lone; and instructive article on the butter trade and manufacture, which proves that we eat less butter than we sup pose. Even the so-called "creamery" butter in Boston is found to be adul terated with oleomargarine oil, and when it contains less than 20 per cent, it is difficult to detect the fraud. As butterine is perfectly healthful, and palatable, too, as is shown by its mix ture with creamery butter, there can be no objection to it except in the de ception.

Considering the present condition of affairs it behooves every yerson to practice economy and to obtain for every dollar expended the best and most satisfactory result. This can be only accom plished by a strictly CASH SYSTEM. The expense of keeping accounts and the coat of collection must of necessity be added to the price of goods sold. There is alsi; a more im portant contingency to be provided tor, namely: the number and amount of bad accounts that are unavoidable in giving credit, no matter how careful the seller may be. These losses must lie made Rood by charging itiish customers a higher price, to make up for losses sustained on worthless accounts. Being fully anve to these facts anrt in sympathy with the present condition of the farming community, we have placed ourselves in a position to offer every advantage to cash purchasers. While our prices appear low, we would state that all goods sold by us are first-class and guaranteed in every respect as represented.
