Col. Forney is becoming discouraged. He
sadly remarks that "lhe example of South
Carolina is not cheering and does not tend
to impress thinking people with the truth
fulness of the claim Of the republican party
to be the only party Of true reform"
1t is scarcely worth Col. Forney's while
to worry over that. The number of f"think-
ing people" who hold any such opinion re-
garding the Republican party is TOO small
TO fret about Except the office holders and
organ editors no body nowadays has the
faintest symptoms of such a belief

Since the Senate has passed bill fixing
tn Presidents salary hereafter at S25, 900
per year, Grant has concluded that he can
not afford to devote six months in the year
to the affairs of the country for such a paltry
consideration. Ho is growing quite indig-
nsnt about the matter, and says if the ''sa-
viors of the country" are to be treated in
that shabby kind ofstyle, there amt much
inducement for man to go into the savior
business very extensively
