Of the local P. o. is also to be superse-
ded by colored man. In oil the po-
liticsl discussions of the day il Is re-
markable that the Grant administration,
though but two weeks dead. seems to
be almost as completely forgotten as
though it had existed before the food.
No reference is made to it except in the
language Of condemnation. There are
good many things only worthy to be re-
membered in order to avoid them in the
future. Probably no man ever departed
from public life followed by such pelt-
ing Of popular execration as Simon.

the President, who was counted in, is,
as said before, in profound state of
mind, and believes he can carry the
Army over upon the general resources
Of the Treasury and then have Congress
kindly allow his little deficiency at the
beginning OF the next regular session.
He may find out next December that
such a policy, because it merely suits
his personal convenience, does not ac-
curately represent the temper Of the
country. Rutherford B. IS doing his
