The Bulletin and the Campaign.

The Bulletin grows quitepathetic in protesting that the cainpaign is n«t yet open. Jt implies that certain parties is carrying en a politieal warfare entirely out of season. We are pleased to see that eheet acknowledge its purpose. It is to be nothing nntil the election eampaign sets in then it becomes u pledged" to some party and '' establishes itself for all." We are sorry to see the Balletin without either its political orders and pointers. It must be very embarra°ging to be in a eonflict and r»ot kn©W whieh part to take. It is propably hired to refrain from criticism of the present administration or its secret springs. and while thus engaged it looks with uneasiness on any movement calculated to disturb the equipoise of public opinion. We cannot. gee the country going to the dogs without raising a warring voice, and if we are crying in the wilderness, it is our duty to cry so mueh tbe louder. The Bulletin is one of those kind of organs that will look on placidly while the country fills up with Asiatics at the rate of thousands a month and never ooen its subsedized mouth; but when the eampaign comes, the season for catching votes, it will declare that the vocers are called on to save the country from eoolie labor by supperting it and its party. We do not have different principles or doctrineB for election times. We hope to eduoate the people, and it is our determination not to let | pass uncensured any betrayal of the people's interests.
