gressional craft to its trumps. The annoy

tention of the Democratic House.
Nearly all the news from the seat Of war
in Turkey comes by way Of GOnstantinople,
and Of course consists of SerTian reEerses
and disasters. There is probably a good
deal Of exaggeration, not to say genuine
Ottoman lying, in the reports, though it is
to be feared that the insurgents are faring
poorly at the worst.

aged to share in the happiness of the glo-
rious occasion. Yet is it not thought
worthy of special prominence-that the
nation lives to-day, and enters upon its
second centennial through the patriotism,
courage and wisdom of the Republican

Tilden and Hendricks, with several Of
their partizan political jugglers, have been

1t is estimated that the Sioux warriors at
the battle of the Little Horn must have Sc

Although the Democrats have a large
majority in the House, they are dumb

peal of the resumption law, 1t is easy
enough to denounce by resolutions, but
quite another thing to put themselves on
