THERE ARE NINE REPUBLICANS in the legisla-| re that their first choice for pres: | ture who dec! ident is Chauncey M. Depew. But there is the Central railroad, which is unanimous for him. GovERNOR STEVENSON OF NEVADA, who is| said to havestolen part of his inaugural address from Governor Foraker, is to be complimented on his judgment with respect to that kind of literature, WE JUDGE FROM the s upon Howells for his criticism of Dickens that only the former's opponents have the right of criticism, and that they feel empowered to make it a matter of butchery. ushing abuse visited WE MUST BEG the Chicago socialists not to insist upon the abolishment of the army. It would first be necessary to search around and find it, and that would be the most exhaustive of all reformatory exercise. A PROPHE VISION SHOWED WASHINGTON the existing statue of liberty, and immediately upon a ng he sought out Mr, Lafayette and said to him solemnly, ‘Marquis, I guess we had better have something from Jamaica.” Mrs. Spies saip that if she had married an invalid old debauchee with money everybody would have commended the act. Everybody but the invalid, child. He would, in due sea- son, have been both astonished and grieved. Mr. Swerr, COUNSEL for the Chicago anar- chists, said his clients should be hanged, all, solely for idiocy. We cannot protest too hastily or too earnestly. Establish such a pre- would be safe ? PENSIONS ARE Goop. They teach that the nation is grateful, and recruit forthe new army through justice to the old. But let us not be so superfluously just to the things that are gone as to impovcrish ourselves for the things that are to come. It was A HABIT OF COLONEL WASHINGTON to look into the future; and once, when he had done this, he said with much impressiveness, **T can account for Benedict Arnold and John Tyler, but where in blazes did Grover Cleve- land come from ?” THE POLITICS OF THIS COUNTRY are develop- ing rapidly in bebalf of a’strong man for pres-| ident—a man who take care that the dig- | nity of the flag is vindicated in every emer-| gency. Does anybody havedoubt with respect to that man’s name ? WASHINGTON DID BUT ONE JOKE, and he was sorry for that. It was directly after the battle | of Saratoga. They asked him, ‘General, what is worse than death ?” and he replied in a som- bre whisper, ‘I think Cornwallis,” and imme- diately sunk a deep stupor. Somepopy IN Paris who had frequently seen |Theodore Tilton and Fred Douglass together | mentioned the two as brothers, and Mr. Doug- lass was magnanimous enough to put out his congratulatory hand to Theodore and remark with emphasis, ‘* Verily that is so.” Mr. BEECHER's PEWS didn’t sell for as much this year as they did in 1875, but $28,000 will do pretty well in the absence of a sensation calculated to run the prices up. And if there are any other man’s pews that run up to that| figure perhaps the reverend gentleman had better announce the fact in protracted meeting. “ BELIEVE A LIAR AS TO THAT which he does not say,” was George's intermittent remark, “Tam aweary, and need a change. Is Amos| | J. Cummings within hearing distance?

Platt. SHINGTON one IT WAS NECESSARY at one time for General Washington to improvise with respect to the ition of his army. ‘'I, regret the neces- y ation; * butevil must be done that good may come. Send at once for Ben Butler, and let him be accompa- nied by Benedict Arnold.” IT Is A RATHER WIDE WORLD, and it would seem to be a reasonable proposition that if Dr. McGlynn cannot accord to the usages of the church to which he belongs there is plenty of room outside of it. To chop wood is necessary to warmth, but if the good housewife won't permit it to be done in the kitchen why there is the back yard. IT WAS FREQU! STLY REMARKED of Mr. Washington that he never used profanity in public. It wasa noble deference to popular sentiment against an inexcusable habit; but cedent as that, and which of you gentlemen |s , | JUDGE when he got alone he never missed the bull’s- eye, and his explosive volubility frequently uttered the target and left the sash without a pane to its injured skeleton. THE DIGNITY OF THE BENCH. It was said of a man involved in Ia had died, ‘* He has gone before a highe nal;” whereupon a local judge remarked, “[ consider that a reflection ou the local ermine. His case couldn't be carried higher. It be- longed solely to the state courts; and if th reverse any of the proceedings over there it will be a gross usurpation of state authority, to say nothing of the insult to the United States supreme court. ROSCOE §T THE FRONT. The JupGE need not urge the Democratic press to continue its praise of Roscoe Conkli and thereby secure his nomination as the pres idential candidate of the Democratic party. The World openly repudiates Cleveland, and the Sun says the nomination of Conkling would ‘‘carry terror into the Republican camp.” Justice is to be done and consistency is to be vindicated. The mills of the gods ~ who | grind slowly, but they are always to be rlied upon. BAD JUDGMENT AND BAD FORTE: Mr. T. Thomas Fortune advises his race, which the same is not white, to rally for Cleve: land in 1888. Mr. Fortune somehow reminds one of-the gentleman who, to retaliate for the absence of a button on his shirt, deserted his family in order to espouse a woman of loose character. One is prepared to excuse such things on the score of race, as the slaveholder excused the lashing of his human. proper but the long lapse of time since the emancipa- tion proclamation ought to have been produe- tive of some good acing the Truth js a kind of courage to which few can adapt themselves, Joseph.

The as the most ardent affection for Truth Joseph; but when you advise the Democratic party to face her you probably overlook the virtue of the flank movement and the supreme diplomacy that lies in taking her by surprise. Is it not strange that with all its desire to win further success the Democrati tration and Democratic congress—for the sen- ate is Republican merely by a hair's breadth— does not know enough to provide for the country’s protection by a proper use of the im- mense surplus in the treasury and at the same time reduce taxation so that the people shall feel that a portion of their burthen has been lifted from their patient shoulders? Was there ever a better opportunity ? Was there ever a more stupid indifference to it? What if they had a little statesmanship at Washing- ton? dminis- THE CONT OF PEACE. time of peace d so much in time of war to prepare for peace, that the German taxpayer is in doubt as to which is the most desirable It costs Germany so much to prepare for v
