ADVENT OF GLORIOUS SPRING.
Now it comes upon US with its inspir-
ing brilliancy; now it brings its mel
lifinous odors 70 our almost dormant
senses, breathing new life aud viger
into every branch aud twig of the
whole universe. The joyous meadow
lark, with its constant inspiring; strains,
seems vieing with the exutaut school
boy in musical production, as if it
could be more rapturou5 over the adj
vent of green blades aud startling life

| gifts of nature surrounding us to EN-
bellish our pathway with delight and
make us glad, there are. however, / am
sorry to say. intermiugled with these
pleasures spme occurrences that have
tendency to make as sometimes Il lit
tie sad--and for myself somew hat mad.
Among the former, may be mentioned
THE FRAUDULENT DEFEAr
Of our deserving candidate for the
Presidency We have pl hoped oh!
so arduous y--that the country might
get rid, if only fora season, of the cun
ming trickery and impositions of
Chamberlain, and bave again shadow
of that fairness and honesty such as in
"times of old" we possessed, when
Democracy WAS in bloom. But there
is one little sp rk Of hope for the
weary. waiting bodies of Churchill, yet
For long. long years, have our people
been harassed for the want of

Extending to within our borders. For
ali these weary years have We contin-
ued to send up to the head of the mail
department and to our Representatives,
in Congress repeated petitions beseech-
ing the Government to crafty our

dreary past have our suppications been
UNDECIDED, from the pure delight of per-
scouting people whose conscientious
scruples would not permit them to as

Senator, or

For a Congressman. But, no thanks TO
the leaders of the Republican party
(for Hayes is not leader, our Re-
turning Board President does not pro-
pose to be quite so imperious or despot-
ic as his predecessor and has given us
a good Democrat in his Cabinet. With
David NJ. Key for Postmaster General,

instead Of cumbrously laden mule

Coincident with this hoped-for liberia

BULLION TAX COMPROMISE BILL.
1t is well known that Churchill's AS

that he gave the bill his support. But
he is one of that classsof men who let
not prejudice or envy control their de.
cisions. There has been an attempt on
the part of some ultraists here to assign
his support Of the bill to selfish mo-
tives, but we who know him better are
satisfied that Mr.. Allen supported the
compromise measure as purely judi
eious and advisable one. Many of oui
staunchest Democrats believe the Gov.

vetoing the bill. But all these politica
affairs are no doubt of minor import
