been Senators. They know that, however
the material consideration paid for seats In
the Senate may vary with climates and con-
ditions, "sleepless vigilance is a constant
ouantity-always part of the price. III there
is any one thing that they believe in more than
another, it is "sleepless vigilance" 1t was
this they took $1,000 apiece extra pay for ID
the last Congress-
These gentlemen "hold firmly" that gin
"republic constituted as ours is, political par
ties are essential (which under the circum-
stances is not strange,-and they say that the
new magazine will insist that the country is
mot only SAFE but safest, with its destiny In
L" the keeping of the Republican party; that
| "measures of reform and progress must be
carried forward through its instrumentality,
and that its permanent ascendency should be
maintained" This also is very gratifying.
If there are any four men in the country to
whom the people look for advice as to how to
carry forward measures Of reform and progress,
they are Messrs. Chandler, Cameron, Logan,
and Harlan. 1t is well to know definitely that
it depends on the permanent ascendency OF
the Republican party. There had been doubts
about it before this publication.
The names of the writers for the new maya
zine are not announced in the prospectus, but
the committee say they shave been selected
from among those whose sagacty, Judg-
"ment, and energy were thoroughly tested in
" the recent political contest and their names
"are withheld now, as then, for the sole rea-
g. son that they prefer success through reason,
argument, and the merit of their produc-
"tions.n Without quite understanding why
their names were withheld them" or for that
matter, "now," we are delighted to learn that
they are chose whose sagacty, judg-
"ment, and energy were thoroughly
"tested in the recent political con-
test" We suspect Brown. the Philadelphia
repeater, must be on the staff. No man ex-
pended more "sagacity, judgment, and energy"
than he, and it is very likely his is one OF
the names withheld now, az then" Doubt
less the department of profane history will be
attended to by Chandler himself. No man
could do it so well or 80 much. But cOnjec-
ture as to the personnel of the corps is idle.
Enough that they comprise :" an association OF
gentlemen of ability who are earnestly de-
"voted to Republican principles, and especially
"desirOus of disseminating accurate political
Information" There is just now shade of
doubt in the public mind as to what "accu-
crate political information" is, but refer
ence to the speeches of members Of Congress
on the Credit Mobilier transactions during the
campaign, and the subsequent Interpretation
of the speeches in the light of Congressional
Investigations, will sufficiently define it. "Ac-
"curate political information" is understood
to be what Vice-President Wilson &" dissent
"natedr to Gen. Hawley on one occasion.
The prospectus of the magazine is accom-
panied by personal appeal from the Secre-
tary of the Committee, who says: The inter-
"est you manifested and the beneficial infu-
"ence you exercised in the recent campaign,
Justify me in asking your active cooperation
:" in this enterprise, designed especially to in
form, strengthen, and harmonic ReptSlican
sentiment" 1t is sad to think that great
many people in this country who manifested
an interest and exercised beneficial influence
in the recent campaign, have been thinking it
all over since their chosen leaders have been
caught lying, and whole Congress
of them have taken to stealing, and
the best of them been found out in
corruption, bribery, and all sorts of dlshon-
esty, and their President has signed a bill
doubling his own salary and has given the lie
to his promises of Civil Service reform by APP
pointing rogues and rascals to office-and that
they have made up their minds upon the
whole not to sit up nights Dragging about the
beneficial influence they exercised in the recent
campaign. In their present state of mind they are
not at all likely to cooperate in this enterprise.
Opportunities TO inform. strengthen, and
harmonic Republican sentiment" might go
right by them within easy reach without their
even stretching out hand to them.
But the magazine is good thing. 1t is two
dollars year in advance, and we presume
chromos of Chandler are thrown in.
