PAGE FOR CONGRESS.

On the 9th Of last june there appeared
in leading article in the HERALD, these
words:
"These monopoly hirelings may go on whole
session of Congress-, and perhaps not be required
| to show their hands but once or twice. The resi-
Of the time they can keep on the popular side,
currying favor with the people, in hopes OF going
before them again. and claim that they meant
well, and what little they did for the monopoly
| was mistake. These mistakes, the people will
please notice, often cost great deal Of money
az the little mistake which Sargent accidentally
made on purpose, just at the last moment, will
cost the country, to begin with, 800, 600, and
there is no one on this coast so ignorant but
what knows that the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company are the only ones who will re-
ceive any benefit from it, We Just throw these
! remarks out a precursor to what we shall
have TO say on this class Of Representatives
when Page comes before the people again as q
candidate for reelection
We are not prophet, nor the son of a
prophet, but the indications that Page will
be re-nominated, by the remnant of the Re-
publicans in this district, for Congress, be-
comes daily more apparent. Only last Sat
urday the Grass Valley Union remarked
that "from the signs Of the times we judge
that Hon. II. F. Page will be ths choice Of
the Republicans in this Congressional Dis
trct for Representative in Congress. I"
There is nothing to be wondered, and moth
to be feared from Pages denomination.
He suits the monopolists, and they will re-
nominate him, and the people all know now
that he belongs to them IA fact that was
concealed as much as possible when he run
before, and they will defeat him. In this
connection. though, there is one very sisnif-
cant circumstance making its appearance,
which is not out Of place to mention here.
We refer to the fact that many Of our So
called Democratic cotemporaries, as well
as some individuals, who have, in times
past, pretended allegiance to Democracy,
are improving every opportunity that pre-
seuts ITSELF to say good word for Page.
These circumstances warrant the assertion,
first, that Page will be the monopoly candi-
date, and, second, that he will be supported,
as be was to q certain extent before, by all
Democrats, as well as Republicans, who
drill to the crack of Stanford's whip. This,
we are pleased to say. though, will make
the issue plain. The rogues, scallawags,
and monopoly offal, on one side, and the
honest men, and admirers of honesty and
good government on the other. Just such
fight as we crave.

,CxLL FOR NATIONAL SPORTSMEN'S
ASSOCIATION.

The New York State Association, for the
protection of game and fish, have taken
steps toward forming a Grand National As
sociation They enumerate the various sec
'ions of country where the unrestricted
slaughter of game has caused its annihila-
ton, or driven it so far from populated dis
tricts that isolated specimens even are now
rarely found. They look upon the inds-
criminate slaughter of game, and the whole
sale hauls of fish from the ponds and streams
at all seasons of the year, as a wrong, which
ought to be remedied; and while they re-
gard it the interest of society to stop this
misguided and indscriminate slaughter
there is no class, they think, on which the
duty of guiding public sentiment, and in
stigating harmonious, local, State, national
and International laws, for the protection of
this interest, devove so much as on the
sportsmen. Therefore they issue call to
all State Sportsmen's Associations, and
local organizations, where no State Associa-
tions exist, and gentlemen sportsmen, where
no local clubs exist, to take the matter in
hand, and send delegates to said National
Convention, to be held at Niagara Falls, on
the 9th of September, and make the meet
Ing one worthy of American gentlemen.

The argus fatters itself that the lnde-
pendents regard the discussion of dead is
sues with horror. We beg to undeceive
that failing institution by assuring it moth
ing suits US better. 1t is source of much
qualification to us to receive this candid ac-
knowledgeasent from our monopoly oppo-
nents, that there is nothing of live interest
to the people and the country, to-day, of
which they can accuse us of wrong doing.
While it laments the evils of the dead, we
have ali we can do to point out the wicked
ness, and help correct the abuses of the
living. "The wastefui extravaganza Of the
government. the innumerable frauds perpe-
trated under its authority, its disgraceful
partiality for the reward OF unworthy ia
vorites, its reckless and unstable financial
policy, its disregard Of the living questions
OF the day." are all matters which concern
this generation. and matters which are i'm
pprtant to discuss. Still, if our neighbor
wishes to avoid the duties Of the hour. by
concealing itself among the dry, bones of thu
dead, while we discuss and labor for tn
correction Of the present evils, we have n
