sticks into the sore shins of the Indian
Ring. The flinching and yelling prove
that the Professor knows what he is
about.-[Cincinnati Commercial Qnd.)
ALL such nonsense rs the Interior
Department is putting forth, attribu-
ting the exposures to personal hostility
to Mr.. Delano, exhibits the weakness
ofthe man, and the desperate charac-
ter of his position.- Cincinnati Ga

Politicians who are casting around
for an available and every way suita-
BILE Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, overlook the very man, who, in
our judgment, fills the bill. We refer
to ex-Govetuor Joel Parker, of New
Jersey. We do not believe there is II
man in our ranks who will make a
sttonger candidate Doylestown (Pa.)
Democrat (Dem.)
For our own part, we care little
whether the candidate of the Demo-
Gratis and Conservatives for the Presi-
dency shall be chosen from the North,
the East or the West. All we want is
that he shall be an Impartial patriot,
u broad-brained statesman, and i'll sin
cere sympathy with the highest and
best interests of the American people.
-[Richmond Whig (Dem.)
Whatever Democrats may think of
the various phases of the currency
question as now presented, they are
in no wise responsible for "rag mon
ey." That is an offspring of Republic
can rule, and those of that party who
now curse Democrats for their "rag
money" proclivities need not be sur
prised if their curses are sent home to
roost. II ICourier-J Journal.
In his address before the Grand
Army of the Republic, at Newark yes
terday, the war Governor of New Jer-
sey appeared in the role of peacemak-
er. The keynote of Governor Parker's
speech is found in the words, ''The fu-
ture of this great nation demands the
burial of dead issues" and the ap-
plause with which it was received af-
forded another indication of the heart
mess with which the veterans Of the
Union Army respond to the cry of
the whole country for reconciliation

Dallas cost per acre for one year, to

Many stories about Messrs. Moody
and Sankey are running through the
London papers. Here is one of them (:
Mr.. Moody was waited upon by the
agent of Life Assurance company,
who desired to effect policy on his
life. Mr.. Moody, in a sanctimonious
manner, assured the agent that he
never took thought about such worldly
affairs, but if the agent could insure
his soul he would be very pleased.

ours is not a fire office"
In u recent address to the alumni
and students of Howard College, DIR.
I. ID. Woolsey, ex-President OfYai2
College, stated his opinion of unre-
stricted voting i'm, tlese words:
AS for universal suffrage, do not
believe i'm it, neither as q right of the
citizen nor as u method of government;
but it is upon us, and we are to make
the best of 1t.

From the New York Sun we learn
that new Know Nothing movement
has been set on foot. 1t Is called the
American League, and 1t was first Or
panized in 1871. We are told that IL
has forty thousand members in the
State of New York, and will run
complete ticket for State officers in the
election of November. Its great prin-
ciple is that none but Americans born
i'm this country and of American par
ents shall be eligible to Office, and it
proposes that the naturalization laws
shall be amended accordingly. 1t also
lays down the doctrine of absolute nom
interference in religious subjects,
though il holds the law of the land su-
preme above any church or sect. 1t Is
a secret society made up of lodges, with
pass words, signals, and Oaths.
From the partial returns from the
census of New York State which have
been made public it is judged that the
total population will reach five mil
lions, handsome increase since the
census of 1870, proving that New York
is still entitled to the appellation of
the Empire State. The greatest in
crease has been in New York and ad-
I.iacent cities. The indications are that
New York city will have population
by the census Of 1, 200, 900, an increase
OF 26O. 900 since 1870, and that Brook
Iyn will be credited with a full half
| a million an increase Of over 100000
since 1870.
