The Bait. Republican speaking of the rcfu-

Il I. ). Senator, says, they are strongly
condemned by the order loving and wei!
disposed Of both parties, not only at home
but through the country. Such is not
the fact The wings here almost univ cr-
sally approve their course, aud will sus-

1t is wrong TO take life; but the command
ment 'lhou shalt nst kiII,'' is not held to
be binding when We meet scoundrcl dis
posed to kill US. The Locofocos have
invariably when they had the power la
ken advantage Of the Wings; they stop at
no unIarness, they trample them down
whenever opportunity offers, and the
Wings owe it 10 themselves to defend
themselves. The Republican talks about
the "stain that blackens the political char
actor" Of the Wings Of the Senate What
has he 10 say about The ignoble, dishon-
orabla, and bullying attempt by the Loco
Iocos Of the Senate, to debate the last
hours Of the session away and prevent the
passage Of il number Of acts before them?
and what Of their alrorous attempt to
raise a mob alter they have failed in that?
What has lie to say Of the rascally at
tempt of the locos OF the House to gerry
mandcr the state i'll manner contrary to
all law and dccency? and what, OF their
refusal TO make any compromise with il
committee from the Senate!

QUARTO

Tn the first day of January 1912, commence
the publication of Quarto Li5raru Edition fo
the Brother Joncthan, newspaper The itnmS,se
quantity of interesting Current Literature which
from week to week has been presented in the pa
ges OF the folio paper, has brough, us from all d
rections expressions OF regret that the matter is
not printed in shape convenient for preservation
To meet this reasonable objection we have
hitherto published on Tuesdays periodical in
quarto form, under the title of JonaHsan's Mss
cettdny: and the success of that periodical ha-
induced US still farther to improve upon the orig
nal plan by the publication of the Library Edi-
ton of Brother Jonathan, in a QUARTo of thirty-
two pages.
The Qoarso is priirsed on a sheet larger than
the present folio form of the Jonathan. An en-
graved Title Page, designed by one of the first
artists in the country, will give each number an
dea OF completeness and taste. Engravinp,s of
rare merit, such as have hitherto appeared in the
folio form of the Brother Jonathan, are introduced
into each number, and the work forms THREE
ANNUALVOLUMES OF 544 PAGES EACH
For each VOLUME the price is one dollar in adj
vance, and three for any one year, handsomely
ustrated by the publishers, and bound according
the taste of the subscribers, will form an ona-
nent for any library, combining the requisites of
ieatness, compactness and variety, not offered i'm
any publication now extant The shape of the
volumes, while it is quite as convenient for rea-
ders as that of any quartz now printed, has nd
vantsges in convenience for binding, nnapproach-
ed by any newspaper publication in the world
While thus we put the matter in a form for
preservation, we shall earnestly strive to render
the contents worthy of that preservation. and 10
do away the reproach that TO print an article in
a newspaper, sto make an inscription on water
melon. The whole energies of this establishment.
publishing, editorial, artstical, and mechanical.
are conferred on the Brother Jonathan and the Dol
