POLITICAL NOTES.

Private intelligence from Senator Morton, who
is now at the Arkansas Hot Springs, leads HIS
friends at Indianapolis to hope that he will be
able to return 10 the State in September and join
again In the political canvass.
Says the St. Louis Globe: zone Of the most
pleasing signs Of the time Is the readiness Of the
great statesmen Of our legislative and CongreS-
Ilonal districts to cast aside the complicated
Affairs Of state and attend Grange picnics.
The Republicans Of Newark, New Jersey, Will
hold mass meeting on Wednesday evening next
at Newark, the home Of Mr.. Hslsey, the Repub-
lIcsn candidate for Governor, to ratify the nomi-
nations made ct Trenton on Thursday last.
George W. Jones, United States Senator, Is
out In . card in the Dubuque papers announcing
himself as an Independent candidate for Congress
in that district. The Keckuk Gate City says Of
him: III elected, his imbeeIlItY would make him
. more ereditsble representative Of an Iowa con-
stituency than the vigorous bad Democracy Of his
earlier services"
The Democratic party, with all itG old prSIu-
dIeeS and . few Of its old virtues, appears to be
determined to control the opposition. As the
prospect Of an opposition success brightens, the
tanScIty with which the Democrats hold the rsinS
Is increased. As usual, also just fast as their
chances seem to improve, their folly, which has
been chastened in defeat reasserts itself In the
North It Is manifested in committing acts which
they have condemned in others, and In adopting
the very faults which they have promised to cor
rect. In the South It Is manifested in g renewal
Of the bitter Quarrels which usually end In out

NEVADA is turned upside down upon the
question of who shall represent or misrepre-
sent her in Mr.. Stewards place in the Senate.
Mr.. Stewart Is a candidate for reelection him
self. His principal competitor Is Mr.. Sharon,
who Just now has the most of his time occupied
by being compelled to read open letters to him on
the subject OF his qualifications for the position
he seeks. One correspondent addresses him.
self in the following very plain way: "Con-
sidering your preparatory education, your pur-
suits and habits of life, it is not to be expected
that you fill the measure Of this ideal Senator.
But since you aspire TO so exalted q station 1t
is but reasonable that you should possess some,
at least, of these essential qualities, and in q
degree superior to ordinary men. Do you pos
sess these essential qualities, or any Of them,
in any degree superior to ordinary meni And
are there not many men who excel you both in
natural and acquired ability Il there any
quality, the result Of moral or intellectual fit
ness, which you possess not common to many
who are bona tide citizens of the Statep To
show how particular the people Of Nevada are
and what they demand in their representa-
tiYes, whether they succeed in getting it or
not; It Is only necessary to give the closing
sentences of the same correspondents letter {:
''You do not profess to be learned in the science
of government; you do not profess to be pro-
hcient in the law; you have no experience ss Q
Legislator; you are not q scholar; you are not
an orator; indeed, you do not claim the dis
tinction Of an ordinary speaker. What special
reason, then, do you bring forward to support
your pretensions7 None whatever, except that
you are reh-that you have acquired and hold
vast estates in the mines and railroads of this
state That you are not citizen, that you
are not statesman, that you are neither s
great nor good man, that you are deficient in
the qualities essential to sa1kor, that you
have nothing to recommend you but your
riches, ought to be sufficient to silence your.
aspirations and drive you in disgrace from the
field" Sharon had better give this man
small share in one Of his silver mines.

" for action" This is the 1872 madness in
a mild FORM the old folly which killed the
greatest of American editors and has almost
destroyed one of the finest American news
papers. Parties are not called into existence
by leaders, at least in these modern closing
nineteenth century days. The era when
mere man, no matter how great or how
strong, could do so is past. MOI that era
never existed. All history proves this, and
the editor who has not read history in that
way has not read it truly or philosophically.
A new party-a third party-may or may
not come in the near future. If 1T does not it
will not be because of the want of leader.
For it is political truth that the party
always precedes the leaders, not the leaders
the party.

CLASSES reopen in the Georgetown Col
lege punctually on the list Of September, as
will be perceived from the notice in our
advertising columns. Residents In the Dis
trict will be glad to see that the morning
hour has been arranged more conveniently
than heretofore. The announcement that
in the graduating class the lectures on phi
losophy will be given in English instead of
In Latin will doubtless attract class of
students who would otherwise have been
debarred from attendance from lack Of spti-
tude in the classics.

tages to all who desire to qualify themselves

formsnee was required to maintain popular in
terest, and as the great Snowman always salts
fes public expectation, this mortality list was
faithfully kept. up. The people Of Phiadel-
phia are less sanguinary in their appetite than
the people Of Mountaineering to their Qua
ker descent, we suppose-so Barnum, instead
of having one of his innocents killed daily for
the public amusement, just has few Of them
manrled, and with this the Philadelphians are
satisfied. That part of the programme Is 80
easily filed, and the delight of the populace Is
so genuine and intense, that the hippodrome
will be continued week beyond the time orig
Inally allotted for its stay in the Quaker City.
A little caution seems to be necessary In visit
ing the show, for we find the Press giving this
admonitiop
''It would be judicious for beads Of families,
when about 10 bring their children to witness
the glorious pageant, to take them to the after
noon performances, when the crowds are not
SO great"
The necessity for observing this admonitiou
is plainly apparent in the following notice of
the performances on Thursday night:
'fln the ladies' fat race Miss Annie Yates,
one Of the most popular and dashing lady
riders, was hurled 10 the ground through ner
horse slipping. The three ladies who were COM
peting with her were compelled to jump their
horses over her. II Is stated that the horses
kicked her severely. The lady was carried
into her dressing room, and 1t was thought by
many that she was killed. In order to satisfy
the audience as to her safety she was driven
around the ring in one of the carriages at
tached to the hippodrome. In the jockey race
which followed, two Of the horses collided,
throwing their riders, one white and the other
q colored jockey, to the ground. The white
jockey had an arm broken, and the colored one,
who fell on his head, appeared TO be unhurt,
for he forthwith mounted bis horse and again
engaged in the race"
Since the days Of the gladiators in Rome no
such show as Barnum's hippOdrome has flashed
upon an admiring people. Let US have it in
Washington, and let a few memorIalistS be en-
gagged for the jockey raceE
