NOTES OF TIE BAY.

WE would suggest to Council that the
clock on the First Presbyterian Church
is not being fairly treated. The Capitol
clock beats it every day and comes in On
the home stretch fully two lengths ahead
Perhaps some condition powders" or a
little warm mash would help it out.
A SAN Francisco paper states that
the immigration to this country OF the
Chinese Is not nearly IS extensiye as has
been represented. Large numbers OF
them 20 back to China every year to
spend New Years, and these on return.
ing here are heraded as fresh arrivals,
while, in fact, very few are now coming
here for the first time.
A NEW HAMPSHIRE editor has recei7-
ed letter from one OF his subscribers,
who piously says: "lou are doing a
good work. God bless you. If he does
not, the Grange, together with all the
temperance people, will" - Boston
Herald.
GLOW is the new generation TO be edi-
fed2" asks Ralph Waldo Emerson in the
North american ReUiel0. Teach 1t how
Hayes and his party stole the Presidency
in this generation. 1t may do some good
outside OF New England WaShingto n
Post.
WILL Senator Thurman kindly look
after our Cleveland breakwater apprC-
priaton when it comes up in the Senator
We would call upon Senator Mathews,
but we presume his duties as attorney OF
the Pacific railroad absorbs all MS spare
time Cleveland Herald.
EDITOR CowLEs, Of the Cleveland
Leader. has issued sCreed against the
Pope that Is calculated to make Rome
howl. Next to an endorsement OF the
Administration, there is nothing Editor
Cowles so much breads a. "the prisoner
of the Vatican. y Cincinnati Commercial.
A WEST VIRGINIA editor says he has
many times jumped across Elk river, in
that State, while hunting, and that 1t re-
mains dry half the year. And yet the
House ef Representative has Just made
an appropriation of $4,000 for this
stream. No wonder that Mr. Cox and
Others protested.-Baltimors Gazette.
PACKARD ought to be satisfied now.
He has besn appointed Consul to Liver
pool-a place which pays $4,000 year
and some chances for stealing. We pre-
sumo he is now willing to give a Certif-
cate that Hayes was duly and legally
elected, and that bis Administration is
| probably the best since the days of
Washington. st Louis Globe Democrat
ALMOST every day brings fresh proof
| of the truth Of the statement Of the Bos-
! ton Adsertiser made when Hayes WAS n
! candidate tor Governor of Ohio in 1875.
1t then said that Hayes will not institute
any reforms 10 hurt" That is II fact
which the advertiser must still recognize
although it tries hard TO behave as a
good Hayes organ should.-Detroit Free
Press.
OUR beloved country has suffered al
appalling calamity. Phosphate Of lime
has been recently discovered at Wskee-
Ky; that is, 800 miles west OF Lesven-
worth, Kansas. OF course q duty on the
article will now enhance its future price,
We entrest Mr.. Wood, who yesterday
got the tariff question before the House
by a majority of one, TO keep an eye on
this.-NetO York World.
The prostitution of the Judiciary is
after sll the greatest crime OF the Repub-
lican party. All the frauds perpetrated
in Louisiana and Florida before ard
after the election; all the frauds perpe-
trsted by sll the political parties in our
history, sink into insixnitCance COM
pared with the great fraud and crime
perpetrsted by the three Judges of the
Supreme Court who to day disgrace the
name of Judge Washington Post.
IT is no exsggeration to say that the
whole country now believes that the
present occupant OF the White House is
there by fraud, ard that in 1880 the peo-
pie If left alone will themselves right the
foul wrong by restoring the Democratic
party to power. A few false steps may
jeopardlze and perhaps prevent this
great contamination, and, therefore, the
wisest counsels and most prudent action
should now prevail in dealing with this
important question.-BaLtimore Gazette.
THE Keokuk (la.) Gate CITY says:
This administration should be called
upon to put down southern Bourbonism,
and put up an organized Republican
party in the South, by all the resources st
its commard.' viii sombody be so very,
very kind as to refer US to that psrs-
graph in the Constitution which makes it
the duty OF the Government Of these
United States TO put up" Republican
party or any other party? We fail to
find the authority, but perhaps some
reader can give 1t 10 us.-B0StOn Herald.
The President invariably winds up by
declaring his unslterable purpose to stand
by order No. l. He declared the other
day that 1t will not be rescinded or
modified in any way, and actually spoke
as if he thought it mesnt something.
Everybody who knows anything knows
that it was dead when it was brought
forth, and that il has simply been putri-
fying ever since. If Mr.. HsYes could
only be induced to quietly bury the
nolsome little thing it would be q great
relief to people who don't like shsmming.
