never heard it, but did hear his "corn.
dodger" Paris Exposition one in the
House Of Representatives, and that was
hard to beat.
Ingersoll hiss been doing the lecture
business here, and has been playing the
devil with hell and kindred subjects.
That Bad Blood.
The Military Academy bill has pro-
duced as much angry discussion as any
question We. up for consideration. The
trouble about it is, too, that the bad blood
has chiefly been among Democrats.
They should remember that house d.
vided against itself is in danger of tum-
bling. Possibly the name military is
suggestive of battles, and blood, and
thunder, and hence the wrsngle. What
ever the cause, red pepper got loose
among the Democrats, and Hewitt, and
Aiken, and Ellis of Louisiana, all went
for each other in the liyeliest manner.
They managed to get the Presidential
squsbble into it in some way, and Hewitt
was called upon TO explain all about how
Samuel j. Tilden didn't get into the
White House. Aiken construed what
Hewitt SAID as a reflection upon the
South, and House, of Tennessee, called
Hewitt demagogue, and Ellis, of Lou
siisns, gave him the retort cour-
teous, the lie circumstantial, and
the lie direct. Hewitt made
explanations and SO did Ellis, and so did
Garfield, and so did Foster, and it is to
be hoped that the whole matter OF the
Presidential steal will be buried,
sprinkled with lime and left to decom-
pose without further stirring.
Worrying Dawes.
Dawes, in the Senate had hard time
upholding the golden dollar. Dan Voor-
hees bounced him, 80 did Hereford, so
did Maxey. and altogether he had as un-
comfortable day OF it as when he lately
tried to defend Massachusetts from the
charge of being a rebellious and stiff
necked common wealth.
Before this reaches you, the Bland
silver bill will have had judgment passed
upon it in the Senate. After that we
will see what we will see.
