Current Notes.

The Fairfield Chronicle afler dismissing all
the senatorial candidates that have been
most frequently mentioned proceeds 10 mem
tion two gentleman whom it thinks would
most worthily fill the office-Judge Peters
and Gov. Dingley. 1t says ''the former for
his great learning and legal aeumen united
with an earnest desire to see the right pre-
vail, the latter for the manly, self-reliant
course he has for many years pursued regard
ing the question of temperance, together
with his well-known liberal views regarding
all questions of the day." MA 81. -.,.. ..-.
We ought to add, too, that we have never
met a man of the present day who advocated
unlimited issues of paper money who had
not queer look about his eye. 1t IL un-
doubtedly sign in our time OF some cerebral
disturbance, however rslight.-Nation. .l<
The suspension of the Republic, the young
Republican daily in New York, ought not to
surprise anybody. Il was subservient or
gan, utterly unworthy of the party which il
presumed to represent. Its fatal mistake
was in accepting the voice OF Republican
leaders as the voice of God, instead Of being
itself Republican leader, as it might have
become if il had correctly interpreted the
popular will.-Chicago Tribune. .tt'
Now that some of the towns of Illinois
have contracted debts beyond their means Of
paying, and all have some bonds out for rail-
roads or improvements, proposition win be
made for the Legislature to assume tine liabil-

THERE are always two or three standing
committees Of legislative bodies reserved for
the not over brilliant and inexperienced
members. 1t must be that Speaker Blaine
so regarded the Railroad COMMITTEES of the
present House.. Amy committee which, in
the present condition of the country and
against the protest of party conventions in
nearly every state, could agree to report bin
for the government to endorse the bonds of
a railroad from Washington to Chicago via
st. Louis, must be composed of a first pre-
MUM lot of stupids. The common rogue
can't assume such cheek as the dyed-in-the
wool stupid.

THE following extract from private letter
of appointment gentleman in this state, whose
opinion on public matters has deservedly
great weight, will be of interest in its bear
ing upon the senatorial question:
am sure that the success of Hamln in the
pending contest will be exceedingly disastrous
to the Republican cause in Maine. If the
schemes which he and his followers have laid
with such laborious care, shall prove success
full and he is hoisted into power for another six
years, 1 verify believe it will be greater load
than the party can carry. There are thousands
OF good men in our party who have never
asked for office or place, who will not consent
to be represented by the Haplin ring and have
it govern the party and rule Che state political
~. 1t is madness in our friends not to recog-
nize these facts and make manly effort to de-
feat the plans which these desperate men have
concerted in the interest of as base q ring as
can be found in any state. The PRESS leads
the van of the peoples movement against these
pretenders. Thus far 1t has done excellent SER
vice. 1t needs and must have the entire sup
port of friends in order to lpin in this grave
contest. There are hundreds of earnest men
in different parts uf the state, who could and
should send you daily, brief articles, sustaining
your position, giving new facts and general en- {.
couragement and confidence.

PENSION CLAIMS.

Numerous applications having been made
for the payne mt of pensions from the date OF
the death of the person for whose services the
pensions were given, to the date Of their being
given, the Senate Committee on Pensions has
asked the opinion of the Commissioner Of
Pensions thereon. He replies that to pay all
pensioners these arrears, would require upward
Of nine millions of dollars, and the Senate
Committee will therefore oppose such claims
The Commissioner of Pensions claims that the
clerical force of the bureau cannot keep the

The House has got over its fondness for ex-
Gov Shepherd, as one of its votes Thursday
afternoon shows conclusively. An item in the
postofice bill of $4,000 rent ON house leased
for departmental purposes BY ex-Postmaster
General Creswell from Aleck Shepherd, was
reduced to 5000, though Creswell had made q
lease for five years. 1t was stated that the
building only cost S1S0 900, and a rental Of %
per cent. was considered exorbitant. Mr.. VIII
son of Indiana, and George f. boar OF Massa-
chusetts, in brief but spirited speeches, carried
the reduction through. Favoritism Of this sort
is no longer popular in Congress. '' i''

THE Saturday morning after the next an
nual Fast, we shall, without doubt, publish
abstracts of sermons in which the bad ten
denotes of the times will be Sc. forth at
length. The sordidness Of politicians will be
set forth, the reckless specula.ions which re
suit in disgraceful failures and defalcations
will be depicted and deplored. In brief, there
will be very fitting denunc.ation Of a too
prevalent ambition among our people TO
achieve sudden wealth at any hazard Of
reputation and by the most questionable
means. All this will be well, and we may add
excellent. The evil of the day is the growing
desire of all classes of people to get the dollar
they never earned. Too much cannot be said
by public teachers against this bad tendency,
but wouldn't it be well to cease giving the
first lesson in speculation by driving out Of
all church entertainments everything that
can possibly be construed to be agame
of chance, or where hundreds of young
people are accustomed to put out their dimes
or dollars for chance to get something worth
their money or five times its value?
