A Washington dispatch Of the
25th says: It is reported to night
that the Porto Rico annexation
story has truly drawn the fire of
Russia and the United States, and
that it was in reality part of the
scheme of Bismark to convulse
Europe. Russia, fully advised of
the intention of Bismark to acquire
a foothold in America, and with as
surance that We will not permit the
transfer of the colonial possessions
in America from one European ma
ton to another, is prepared to ally
with the United States in the event
that Germany determines to force
her aspirations.

they have arrived too late to do us

We had splendid crop of wheat

is little singular that these rebel

A Democratic exchange makes
the following very sensible remarks
in regard to the formation of new
parties, with q view to reform
The organization of new party
movement does not imply reform.
It only means that there are men
in the Democratic and Republican
parties who can get Office in no
other way; who have been ostracised
by political associations for intidel-
ity, profligacy or incompetency.
and who would weave a political
snare to train the honest but un-
suspecting voter to his ruin and
disgrace. Nine times out of ten
the political reformer is an arrant
knave, and he is certainly so when
beguiling others to enter the move
ment. he follows safely at distance
to watch the results, ready to
applaud or condemn as the enter
prise proves to be popular or
abortive.

Every Republican vote given to
Judge Holman, is just that much
encouragement to the "White
League" Democratic murderers
down South to establish permanent
ly the .'color-line." Holman's votes
against the Emancipation Procla
nation - against the Thirteenth
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments to the Constitution, place
him side by side in sympathy with
the White Leaguers.

The best and most effectual way
to give encouragement to the
"White League" murderers of the
South, is for Republicans in this
Congressional district to vote for
Holman, and thus insure his
election.

Inc man VINO can lie as DnsSful
ly as His Honor, Mayor Elder, does
in the Independent of the 2Sth,
about the vote he gave putting 5000
into his own pocket as salary, is
certainly an adept in the art, and
he therefore cannot SANDER William
Baxter by charging him with being
"a falsifier." He KNOWS that Mr.
Baxter spoke nothing but the truth
when he stated that on a motion in
Council, made by Mr.. Dulin, that
the Mayors salary be REDUCED two
hundred donars-the vote being a
TIE, James Elder gave the casting
vote, and thus put that sum S200)
into his pocket as salary! That
is the grab history. and every
time Elder hears of anybody re
peating it he invariably resorts to
card writing, and making an infer
nal fool of himself generally. 1t
was not a question of an ''increase
of salary but of REDUCTION, and
the Democratic members of Coun-
ell with the Democratic Mayor, CON
shutting a majority, on a tie vote,
like Democrats everywhere and es-
pecially on the eve of an election
are loud mouthed in proclaiming
economy and retrenchment'
completely stultifying themselves,
when it comes to practical test, as
it did in our City Council on the
occasion above referred to, and
went back on their professions! 1t
must be borne in mind that the.
Committee on Finance, composed
of two Democrats and one Repub-
ican, unanimously agreed on re
trenchment bill, cutting down uni
formly the salaries of the city Off
GERS, and prepared an ordinance to
that effect to be submitted to the
Council; but this practical test of
economical profession did not suit
Mayor Elder, and he clicked the
bucket" filed full of economy and
retrencLment' over, and, at the
same time, kicked his partisan
friends into supporting the little
5000 grab he was determined to
pocket, knowing the vote would be
q tie, and that he could decide it in
his own favorl THIS was a Demo
cratic grab in the right direction
exclusively in the pocket of a
Democratic Mayor-hence the par
ty vote!
On our first page will be found
the ayes and nays on the legisla-
tive salary bill, and the name of
William Baxter is recorded against
the bill, and THAT is sufficient vindi
cation of William Baxter against
the mean and despicable insinuation
of Mayor Elder, that Ike William
Baxter] skulked out of the Hall
when the vote was taken" Elder
knew better; but his natural dispo-
sition and propensity got the bet
ter of him this time, as it always
| has heretofore.
