A NEw York RAD. SpEAKs.-The
Philadelphia Times says Senator
Conkling has been heard rom--through
a third party, who is correspondent
of the New York Sun. This veracious
witness has talked with the intimate
friends OF the Senator, and according
to these intimate friends the Senator
has some very decided views on the
situation, although he is not quito ready
to express them. lie does not hesitate
to declare Gu private) that Tilden was
legally elected President that Hayes
has shown his entire ignorance Of the
art of Cabinet.making, and that he has
gone about civil service reform in the
wrong way. He considers Evarts a
straddler; Devons a pseudo Republi-
can McCrary man to be watched,
and Key an open enemy to the Repub-
hcan party He does not propose to
retire from politics, and will be heard
from at the State Republican conven-
tion, of which he will be a member.
This confession of faith may or may
not be authentic, but everything indi.
Gates that Mr.. Conkline is in bad hu-
NOR and will soon break out.

For two months past Mr. Hayes has
been hunting for Commission TO send
ailcr Sitting Bull, who was reported il
Canada, and bring him back. Now h,
is reported back, and on the war path
and may, by this time have formed o
junction with Joseph's forces.
A Washington telegram says 9Th,
force in the Indian country is totally
inadequate for vigorous prosecution
of the war instituted by Chief Joseph
much less equal to the complications
growing out Of the resumption OF the
field by Sitting Bull and iorco Of not
less than one thousand Of his chosen
warriors. IL is ascorlaincd that th,
total military strength of the regular
army in Montana, Wyoming and Ida
no. available for offensive operations, /,
less than three regiments, Of far les
than their maximum strength. Upon
careful examination of the latest re
turns of the military stations and gar
risons tits found that no material rein
forcemcnts can be spared for servic,
in the country again threatened by
the advent of Sitting Bull. There il
no possibility Of preventing junction
Of the war parties Of Sitting Bull int
Joseph, which junction, il is stated
will undoubtedly lead to an Indian war
widespread in It's range and most crue
and atrocious m its effects. There il
serious fear that the intelligence from
the Indian country during the mex
few days wlll be saddened by detaili
of horrible massacres.
Volunteers may be called out if re
quested by both the military officer
and the Governors of the Territories
hut the lack Of funds with which tc
equip them will be a serious drawback
TO the cause.

As the scorpions sting is in its tail,
so it was reserved for the end of Sec
tary Sherman's speech to prevent the
new doctrine which is yet to revolu-
tionizo the Republican party. That
doctrine is Communism-nothing more,
and nothing less. Even Judge West,
the Republican candidate for Govern
or, was outdone by him. Mr.. Sherman
went to Washington, representing the
Administration as he did, to declare this
doctrine in its fundamentals. "My
hope" said he, dis that Congress will
pass laws to establish and limit maxi
mum rates of freight, so that the pro-
duction of farmer may not be in
danger OF confscation by exorbitant
rates that it will limit ard restrain
the cutting and reduction of freights
so as to destroy the ability of railroad
companies to pay fair prices for honest
labor, and prevent the companies from
making paupers of men who perform
essential functions in commerce" The
destructive doctrine is all there is in that
statement. 1t is Communism pure
and unadulterated. 1t means that the
Government is to take the business of
the railroads into its own hands, fix
the prices for freight, compel the rail
road companies to carry the products
of the farmers at rates of its own es-
tablshing, and also to pay their en-
ployes what it thinks proper wages.
Now it is plain to every one that if the
Government can 60 in and take the
business of the railroad companies out
Of their own hands, it can do the same
thing in the case OF all other branches
of enterprise and industry, even farm.
ing itself. Step by step it will become
a great parent to the people, to pro-
vide them with what they want and dis.
tribute the common earnings equally.
So monstrous doctrine, subversive OF
all republicanism, was what Secretary
Sherman proclaimed from the stump
in Ohio TO be his own.

clerk of the United States circuit court,

Kennan, in which the latter says
Judge Ketcham and have conferred

the Confederates buried in their beauti-
full cemetery. The following is the clos
ing stanza ofa poem written for the oc-
casion by Miss Hunt, the "Madge" of seY-
eral Southern journals;
Ours the fate of the vanquished,
Whose heartaches never ceasei
Ours the tears,
Regrets and fears
Theirs the eternal peace.
Anger they dropped forever
With the passing burden of breath,
The Blue and the Gray
Are alike to-day
In the colorless land Of Death,
And the living who wore the Blue
May bring to the sleepers flowers
For the Blue and the Gray are friends to-day
In happier land than ours,

THE SECRETS OF MASONRY,

The story Is told Of a Mason's wife,
Who plagued him almost out Of his life
To learn the secret-whateyer II be
The mystic words of Masonry,
Said he, Now, Mary, If ! should tell
The awful words, know very well
When you get mad, my darling dear,
You'll rip them out, that all may hear"
Said she, "oh, Edward, Never Never
They'll rest In my hearts recess forever
Tell me, Edward, and never more
Shall scold or fret or slam the door
And III try to be quiet with all my might
No matter what hour you come at night
No, man, unless he were made OF WOOD
Could resist an ofIerso fair and goodi
80 he said, "Now Mary, my woe or veal
Depends on the words I'm about to reveal"
ooh, Ned she answered, you may depend
I'll keep the secret till life shall end"
Said he, "The secret that Masonry screens
The awful words are-Pork and Beans"
Scarcely week had passed away,
When Mary got mad, and what did she say
She shouted out that all may hear,
"Pork and beans I've got you there"

of liquid manure. We occasionally near

lawns, however oftimes the advocacy Of
the practice has been written. The writ,
er practiced the sprinkling Of lawn in
a dry season with weak liquid manure
