The Second Congressional District as
adopted by both house, of the Legislature.
contains a population of l5j,424, and 2S,-
292 voters, of which S,CG7 we're cast for
Gov. Brown. and j.Gi6 for Wisener, all
of which looks bad for Horace Maynard.
Although the district is not formed as
we would have liked it, we are assured
that it is the best that could be- obtained
under the circumstances, and Of cousc it
was not to be expected that the State
could be so apportioucd a, to give satisfac.
ton to every body. If its secures the de-
feat Of the Naragan,ctt the end will justi-

4 General UDriSing.

The Chicago 1ribune-tho great Re-
publican leader of the Northwest-thus
speaks;
The rally for Cincinnati appears to be
simultaneous, as we'll as spontaneous, all
through the country. Accounts are prin.
ted in our columns, this morning, of
movements in various quarter. West
Virginia, at large, for one; the District of
Columbia for another; Orange county,
New York, for another; Dubuque for
another; CLAYTON county, Iowa, for anoth-
er; and Racine, Wis, for another. The
journals which are trying desperately to
earn their bried and butter by crying
down The movement for free speech and
free opinion are becoming desperate.

The New York Trihnne Snvs.

Itis hardly worth while to waste words
on the paltry attempt Of the Grant man
ayers in Washington to commV Con-
gressmen to the Presidents re-Domina-
ton. II is beneath notice MS speci-
men of political fnesse, and resulted
only in the parade Of such meagrearry
of names that the cause OF the President
was damaged rather than helped
It seems that there were "A men who
were under various pretexts, seduced
into putting their names to paper. The
much desired Ono Hundred cannot be
reached.

Be Social.

Men who isolate themselves from socie.
ty, and have no near and dear famil ly ties,
are the most uncomfortable human be-
ings. Byron says, Happiness was born a
twin; but the phrase, though pretty and
poetic, does not 20 far enough. We are
gregarious. and not intended to march
through life either single or double file.
The man who cares for nobody, and for
whom no body cares, has nothing to live
for, that will pay for the keeping of body
and soul together. You must nave heap
of embers to have glowing fire. Scatter
them apart and they will become dim and
cold. So % have brisk, vigorous life,
you must have u group of lives, to keep
each other warm, as it were, to afford
each other mutual encouragement, conf
dence, and support. If you wish to live
the life of man and not Of Il fungus, be
social, he brothcrly, be charitable, be
sympathetic, and labor earnestly for the
good of your kind.

HON Music Se,yes a Printing Olllce.

HOW music serves Il Pflntlng OlilCe.
We have set beneath the sound of a
persistent organ grinder for the past six
weeks, and endured the piercing melodie,
without murmur; but the other day our
patience was put to the seyercst test by
some cnterPrising sausage grinder, who
left big fat dog tied to meat stand in
the market house, Ia few steps from this
Office The dog, after licking the stand
all over, observed tire situation, the pros
pcct of his meat next groasiug that block
for some other dog to lick, set up the
most hideous bowling and yclping that
ever fell upon mortal cars.
We arc fond Of music of every de-
scrip,ion, especially the shrill notes of
a pack Of yelping hounds, or gang of
terriers after a country cur, with a tin to
his tail, but this addition to the constant
humping Of piano just above our heads
was too much for human endurance. Our
hair raised and pushed the covering from
our Uranium, our pencil stu5bornly refus-
ed to make an ineligible mark; we tried
to read the dispatches, but it was no 60,
every word was but couglomoration OF
letters and Figures,
Feeling tlat Satin vas about to get the
upper hand Of us, we seized a pair of
double eyed glasses and "went for" a
column of the Couricr-Journal religious
reading, but it WAS no use.
We looked around, all was still, the
types ceased to click in the stick, the
devil was standing on his head, trying to
make paste in a lye kettle, the foreman
haG pied his form and was savagely silent.
We came to the conclusion that some cuss

Hon. Cassius NJ. Clay made Il vigorous
speech at Stanford, Kentucky, few days
ago, in which lie declared warmly for the
Cincinnati movement. lie said that he
"bad burned his ships" and was in for ''a
square fight" He thought it impossible
to reform the party within the party-all
who had made such attempts had been at
once ostracised. He said;
1t Is for this reason, fellow-citizcns.
that, pursuing the customs Of our country
and the legitimate purposes for which all
parties are, or ought to be formed, for
the vindicaton of great principles, we
have call together the patriotic men of the
Republican party who had no sympathy
with and who are in opposition to those
extreme measures of this despotism of the
Radical Grant coDspirators, to meet in
Convention on the LIST Of May, 1912, in
the city of Cincinnati to organize party
upon which all those who can agree with
lis in principle can act in union Cor the
salvation of the Republic.

Our Washington special gives some in
tercStiug information about one Schmidt,
a clerk in one of tie departments, who is
sent ahout the country to peddle lies
against Senator Schurz and other Liberal
Republicans. One Of his stories, that
found a w!iiag organ in the St. Loui.
Dcmoceaf, is shown to be utterly without
loundatior, and It is safe u say that any
report, that may hereafter .manate from
this source will be equally false. But it
is an eloquent commentary on the affected
zeal Of tile Administration for civil SER
vice reform, that this fellow is drawing
pay from the Government while he is
thus engaged IN tabricating and dissent
