Sign Of Lost Confidence.

If the republican party possessed
public confidence to the same degree
that it did II couple of years ago,
there would be no lack Of news
papers to support it. 1t is II sign
that leaders and measures are
wrong when the public journals go
into opposition, or yield only a
faint support to a party. In such
cases, newspapers are Il sure guide
to the drift Of popular opinion-they
only follow, and do not lead or con-
troll. And when the leaders COM
plain that the newspapers do not
defend the republican party, we
should like them to explain who
and what they have offered which

time past, What measures? Which

Young Man, stick 10 1t.

There is deal of regret expressed
in speeches, letters to agricultural
papers, and in editorials by kind

No doubt many young men have
realized the fact that farm life is no
harder than city life. Many have
been wise enough to return TO the

in a city. But boys who leave the

AWAsH1NGToN, Jan. 29.-The House
adjourned on motion of Ward, (Rep.)

Democrats. This result was obtained by
fear that the Democrats would demand u

stands, would consume twelve hours.
Under the new rule proposed vote may

have not exhausted their tactics for delay.
It may be stated that there is no inten-
